Hi all,
I am a bit confused about the process that i need to follow to gain root access and also convert my filesystem to ext4 and the order i need to do the two.
Could someone form a simple noob guide of how to do the above?
Or should i wait for the 1-click root and custom roms...
There isn't a simple way and I doubt if there will ever be a 1 click root.
The easiest way to learn, IMHO, is to start with SDE.
Download the AOS file from archos - http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates.html?country=us&lang=en
Read the instructions - (boot into recovery, update firmware, plug archos into PC, copy AOS file, ect...)
Install SDE
Once you see the recovery, look into the menus and get comfortable with it, you should try Dogma's perm root and kernel. Then a next step would be to OC with ardat's kernel. Then you can try to learn Linux and $aur0n's method...
...all IMHO of course.

I don't fully agree. There are several Steps in the Process which can be scripted. One would be a Script to partition and preload your sd card for being used in the Archos, including copying rootfs and some Help to move your Data Partition.
Probably SDE is a must for Permanent Root forever, so everyone intending to root his Device has to go through that Process, as well as flashing custom Kernels.
$auron is making good Progress on enhancing his Rom and making it more flexible and customizable. Probably someday there will be a Preferences App to change the Behaviour of the Rom.

I am confused also. I've read through just about every post in this forum and the one thing that I can't get a clear answer on is, do I have to have an sdcard to load the UrukDroid stuff? Or can it be done on my internal storage? I've tried going through the instructions and I cannot get the sdcard partitioned and formatted correctly.
And what does "permanent root" mean? Does that just mean you've installed the SDE and a new kernel and removed the default Archos kernel so that it always boots the SDE kernel?
As the title says, I need some help installing UrukDroid on my A70IT 250gb. The directions in the developer thread refer to partitioning the SD card, but of course my tablet doesn't have a SD card
Any help would be appreciated, I'm scared to tinker around and brick it
if u just need your archos rooted, install this stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930197
It's so much easier and less buggy.
So this will work on our A70 250gb straight without additional hack? isnt our 250gb has harddrive? I am still a bit confused.

I have the 250GB version, and can confirm that the method above works a charm.
The first time takes a bit of time as you need to install the Archos development firmware (or SDE) but after that it is nice and quick.
Just install SDE
Install latest Archos firmware
Download the 'hacked' version from the thread above
Go to the recovery screen on Archos (hole volume down while turning on)
Go to Recovery menu
Go to Developer Edition Menu
Go to Flash Kernel and Initramfs
This will start USB on your Archos, copy the downloaded files to the A70Rec device in my computer
Click OK on Archos
When you start up this time, you get the choice of Android or Development. Choose Development and you will get your rooted Android!
More instructions are on that thread

have you finally installed it?
I'm A70H owner too~~
I'm wondering the same problem with UrukDroid 1.0~~
Dear all
How to OC My Archos 101 on Uruk 0.7?
Has anyone can tell me step by step?
I haven't really looked in to uruk that much. But shouldn't you be be able to overclock using set CPU?
Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
SetCPU can only overclock in the margins the governor gives.
And therefore you need another kernel that allows this.
If you look into that Uruk thread with installation iunstructions you will find a link zu the OC Kernel.
Check the first post on the thread:
UrukDroid 0.7 (Android) on ext4, full r/w access, su (root), SDE
After the steps there is a section called "Additional Files".
There you will find the OC kernel.
To update kernel, drop package (OC kernel for 0.7RC2) to /data/UrukUpdate, wait and reboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11634087&postcount=572
I have done it and it works fine to 1200 MHz
Thanks Mikal75
I have downloaded & unzip the kernel file , but I can not copy them to /data/UrukUpdate.
There is something miss ?
Sorry! I have done it by Root explorer .
Thanks again
Yes, there is something missing.
The Kernel can not be done by the Updatefunktion, you have to do that manualy.

Are you sure?
This was the way I did it!.... (A70S - Uruk 0.7)
Ups, didn't see that before.
So tiki1217 problem is the unzipping.
@tiki1217:
Don't unzip the UrukDroid-0.7-kernelOC.tbz2 but put it into /data/UrukUpdate
So I'm trying to get Uruk to install on my 250g A70, and following the instructions posted, when i get to the point where you have to go into the recovery menu for the second time and select "Developer Edition" the UD splash comes up, but it hangs saying "Failed to mount rootfs /dev/sda2/" and then reboots. I havent been able to find any info about this error, and for the most part all I have found is info about the sd card version of the device. Is there a fix for this or am i just hosed?
Thanks guys
Hi, I get successful Uruk 1.6 on my A70 250gb, sometime get error same. I think u try again format your device with stock rom then install SDE and install Uruk 1.6 ( lastest firmware in now )
That is the order I did it in, actually, but I suppose it's worth another try...
Come on guys.
$auron is constantly asking for A70H guys to help him discover the best way for the tablet and no one will help.
How do you think will he be able to determine what to do, if YOU don't help him??

i install uruk droid 1.6 is ok. the're some problem:
-battery device show incorrect %
-my archos is sometimes reboot when run heavy program or connect usb with computer( i use compcache and swap ). i dont know reason is low memory, overheart cpu, etc?
I want help $auron everything about my A70H but i don't know where i can post my question.Anyway, thank you guide me. Sorry my english not good. I'm chinese

You are joking, right?
In the devthread $auron asked just 2 days ago for help of A70H owners.
Just read the end of that thread.
I am also having this problem. Steps I did probably all possible solutions:
1. Reset Android - stil the same
2. Uninstal and reinstal SDE - stil the same
3. Format device - stil the same
4. Uninstall SDE , Format device , upload stock firmware , install SDE , try to install Uruk - stil the same
I had urukdroid before and it was very good for usage. Hope someone knows and is going to share the solution of this problem.
Device: Archos 70 IT 8GB
I have an archos 70 250g hdd and have never had problem installin upgrading or downgrading my device, and hope i can help others. In regaurds to the incorrect power % it happens, look at the actual voltage left on battery max 100% batt is 4.198v i believe but most battery % come from empirical calculators that guesstimate based on useage, if hdd spins this % will drop faster than voltage does in anticipation, stop the program thats usin hdd and it will even out, might need a restart or a deletion of batterystats.bin. And SWAP/compcache works very well on hdd model but like it says it will only use the swaped memory when the ram reaches a certain limit then it will start to swap, i cheat this by starting up with alot of programs then clearing them with memory booster. It pushes background system apps to swaped mem and allows me to use only 35% of my limited 256ram leavin me with 65% open for whatever.. i have been able to run (somewhat choppy) vendetta online from my device doing this that requires 512 ram but will slowly load.. hope i was helpful

Make sure you've downloaded the proper files. You should download this: UrukDroid_1.6-Install.rar everything you need is there.
Hello guys,
Is there a possibility to update the "archos 10.1 (gen8)"
from android froyo 2.2 to android 4.4??
And if it is possible would it be worth it to do that ?
Will speed and so increase the tablet?

Here is the link to ICS (4.0.x): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941377
And here is the link to GB (2.3.x): http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread (there is also a thread on this forum)
Unfortunately the openaos site seems to be down right now (was up in the morning and last night when I answered you) but anyway I did find cm9 (ics) to be more stable and "usable" (less bugs than actually affect usability) than cm7 (gb) although no doubt quite a bit slower than cm7, but again that's me that has at least 300 apps installed on each android device and that goes back to since I had a HTC Touch Pro 2 and turned it from an windows mobile device to an android one and the specs on that were way lower than the ones on the gen8.
Also feel free to ask any questions you may have related to our gen8 tablets, I am one of the "lost souls" still using this tablet and I can say that judging by the fact that I bought this quite soon after it was released (at least in my country) I can say it has served me well since then and I still think it is a decent device (although I do now have a much better and much more powerful tablet device too, my 101it is still a fun thing to play around with).
Hello again I will give it a try now.
Any idea where I can download the kernel ?
Because the download link doesn't work on the link you gave me for android 4.
I just posted for it.
Would you still have it or could you reupload this for me?
Would be awesome.

The link that you are talking about that isn't working is the kernel source link (which is actually very unfortunate) and not the kernel itself, the kernel can be downloaded from the attachments of the first post in the thread (a zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs files)
Hello again ,
I will set it on a row:
1. Cm9 image download (ok)
2. Initramfs.cpio.gz download (ok)
3. Kernel download
(which files are the kernel to download zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs??)
I can't see a link to the zimage ?? Can you give me the correct link?
4. Data.img.tar.gz download (ok)
Install kernel by SDE menu
(ok I know how to get in the SDE menu but what steps I have to do there?)
Where to configure menu.Ist (is that the one I downloaded in the attachements downstairs?
What about the terminal ? How to enter the terminal to activate Bluetooth?
What is the swap configuration??
Ok and one last question, at the moment my Archos 10.1 gen8 is running on Urukdroid must I remove the sd card for this procedure and reinstall the SDE firmware or not?
Or is this method for cm9 (android4) not like urukdroid method??
Sorry for all my questions but I don’t want to make mistakes.

There are a few files starting with zImage, chose one of the 3 of them and rename it to just zImage (no extension and don't extract it although when youu will download it it is an archive, just rename it to zImage and I can't really tell you which one to choose cause I do not know which of the 3 will work best for you, I personally use the 35% one.
To flash it you will use the same procedure as for urukdorid but you will loose access to urukdroid, though you don't need to remove your card and also AFAIR the OpenAOS multi-boot menu does not have the ability to boot at tablet boot (or I am wrong, not sure) so you might have to reboot in recovery and run developer version each time you want to boot it.
You could also use kboot for even more multi-boot and being able to still use urukdroid, I think I posted a mirror for the files on it's thread, or at least I wanted to, if I didn't I will. BUT if you do want this first backup the urukdroid kenrel and initramfs, I can tell you how to do it if you intend to do this, if loosing access to urukdroid is ok for you then I'd say don't bother, uruk isn't that great, you can get the same things on stock after getting root on it, though I could still recommend using it as that's the only way to have rooted stock using the kernels here on the forums or being able to boot also GB and/or debian/bodhi/whatever other linux distro you fancy.
For the OpenAOS boot menu you indeed need to download that menu.lst and put it on the storage, it is already setup for booting CM9 so you don't really need to do much more here.
Swap is already configured so you don't really need to do anything about that or worry about it, it's just info and for the bluetooth I think terminal emulator comes preinstalled so you do the commands in there but I would recommend creating a bash script and downloading SManager from play store and using that to create a homescreen shortcut to your script (I could also share you my script if you would like later after I charge my archos.
Also there is no initramfs.cpio.gs that was a typo, it's actually .gz so you have the right file and the kernel is the zImage.
In the SDE menu just do the steps you did when you flashed urukdroid but only place the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage without a 3rd file (if I remember correctly the steps for flashing urukdroid), I can't really tell you what steps to do in there as I don't really remember, it's something like go in the repair menu and click flash developer firmware or something along those lines I think.
EDIT: Also if you intend to edit the menu.lst file for whatever reason (if you want to use kboot to add the CM7 kernel and use that to boot CM7 and/or debian for example) don't use windows notepad, instead install notepad++.
Ok this makes some things clear to me
Yeah is also a long time ago urukdroid installing.
I found the guide from it but it seems idd similar to your explanation.
https://code.google.com/archive/p/urukdroid/wikis/Installation.wiki
ok I Installed Kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz
But what about installing cm9 image?
1. I did extract "CYANOBIZ_BETA2.6_A101.img" and copyd it to the root.
2. I did uncompressed data.img.tar.gz, I choosed one of the 3 images and renamed it to data_ICS.img
3. I did copy the 2 files to the root.
But what now how to install it? That's not specificly said how you must do it.

You need to also drop the menu.lst file on the internal memory and have the cm9 image named as CYANOBIZ_BETA2.6.img then just got to recovery and boot the developer edition firmware and you will be greeted by a boot menu with just one item, click power and it will boot and that's it.
You don't really install anything, the tablet will boot from the img file and use the data.img file as the data partition, that's all (and if you decide to move any apps to the sd card aka internal memory don't boot in an other android os like stock because the android_secure folder will be wiped, though I am not sure CM9 allows you to, I know CM7 does).
Also I have uploaded kboot and it is on the thread in the development section if you want to use that for more flexible multi-boot (or at least to have the multi-boot menu loaded at every normal boot without needing to enter recovery to boot ics), although now it will be a bit hard to obtain the uruk kernel in case you still want to boot that, it is possible, you just need a linux computer or the ext2fsd driver in windows, I can't really give you the kernel from my installation of it since I understood yours is on the sd card and mine is on the internal memory.
And if you would like I can give you kboot already set up with the stock root kernel and all the 3 ics kernels to make it easier for you.
Ow ok will try tomorrow.
Euhm yeah urukdroid is no more on tablet I think I installed last sde firmware.
The kboot is that for switching between then Linux similar system and android 2.2 and android 4 and maybe urukdroid if I reinstall it (not necessary for the Moment?)
Yeah I will try out that kboot you may send it to me if you want. Maybe it's cool feature

If urukdroid was on the internal memory and you just installed the sde firmware it was not removed and I can send you my uruk kernel, if you first went to recovery and did a full format and then installed the full firmware and then the sde then it is no more on the tablet.
If it was on the sd card then nothing affected it unless you put the card in the pc and used something like minitool partition wizard to delete all partitions and I can not give you the kernel.
Yes, kboot is a chroot based multi-boot menu (think GRUB but unable to boot non-linux kernels, I think) and it allows booting android 2.2, 2.3, 4.0 and linux distributions as ubuntu (although the ubuntu for archos files are gone but you can still use it to boot the kernel from OpenAOS and boot debian from that bootmenu, which will be the same boot menu you will get from android 4.0 though you can not boot stock or debian from that as the kernel is different, well you might be able to boot it but most things won't work, like wi-fi and the likes).
Ok, I will send you my already set up kboot but first tell me if your urukdroid instalation was on the sd card or internal memory and what you exactly did to the tablet cause then I might be able to throw in my uruk krenel and thus you will also once again have access to that as well.
Hello first of all I wanted to say I just got into android 4.4.
But when I start it up I get a lot of messages that are saying.
This application doesn't work anymore.
Any idea what this could be?
Hmm after looking I restarted it and now it works better the android 4.4
But how do you put something on the internal memory if I connect them with usb to laptop I can't acces the root with all my files.

It is clearly stated that you can't access the internal memory via msc on the ics thread, only the sd card, and that is also true for any firmware that boots from an img file since the img is on the internal memory and that would mean cutting the system's access to itself=crash.

Ok, I will send you my already set up kboot but first tell me if your urukdroid instalation was on the sd card or internal memory and what you exactly did to the tablet cause then I might be able to throw in my uruk krenel and thus you will also once again have access to that as well.

Hello again,
Owkey now if I start up my tablet android 2.2.1 startsup
(firmware version: 2.4.83)
I did set the iso file from cyanobiz_BETA2.6.img on my internal memory.
So cm9 boots nice on the tablet but I must go first to the SDE (by pushing volume + ) then a see a white menu -> developer edition -> and chose cyonade and it start good
Urukdroid was installed on my sdcard but that doesn't start anymore as standard at moment. don't know why?
Before I started with cm9 I installed the latest SDE firmware for archos 10.1 gen8. (and the procedure to runb cm9)
Would it work with your kboot file so I can choose between:
android 2.2 (Archos),
Android 4 (CYANOBIZ)
Angstrom (openAOS)
urukdroid 1.6 (not in the menu)

Kboot will make it load at boot so it will go to the boot menu instead of stock 2.2 from where u can choose what to boot or (after a period of time) it will just boot your last selection.
Yes from Kboot you can choose to boot any of those though I really wouldn't recommend Angstrom (I don't even think you can still find a rootfs.img for it, if you still have it on your internal memory please upload) cause it is really limited and also I don't think OpenAOS made a kernel for Angstrom and it'll be quite hard to get the kernel from the SDL aos package (though I do have a kernel that can boot it directly, compiled from the stock 2.2 sources, NOT by me). In theory you can edit the menu.lst to launch Angstrom for it but remember you must edit it with Notepad++ and not any other windows text editor (notepad, word, etc) and you will need to know the format for booting a linux image file (I can tell you what that is) and just add the OpenAOS CM7 (gingerbread) kernel also and use that to boot Angstrom, never boot ANYTHING ELSE when loading the boot menu with the ICS kernel, you will have the same options but you must always remember you CAN'T launch anything else than ICS when launching the OpenAOS boot menu with the ICS kernel. But if you are actually interested in running linux I'd say just go the debianlxde way (download from OpenAOS site) as it is so way much better than Angstrom.
To boot UrukDroid you will need to either have linux installed on your PC/laptop or boot a live cd, put the MicroSD Card in a card reader and connect it and then search the uruk partitions to find the zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz (they might have some slightly different names) and put those in a new folder in the kboot os folder, of if you want I could probably unpack the UrukDroid install and update packages to find the right kernel for you but as I can't really remember what tools I need for doing that you will have to wait about 2-3 weeks (I have exams and also bought myself a Nintendo New 3DS XL that I plan to hard mod after I finish with the exams and do a nand dump and try to edit the firmware and flash it back to see what I can obtain so that's gonna take me about 1-5 days as I am not the best with soldering things on motherboards). You will also have to wait that exact same amount of time if you want me to tell you from where on the UD partitions to find the kernel files as I do not know myself and will have to search for them.
