i havea strange problem where my 101 I cannot boot into the android installation only the developer environment. This seems have been caused by a misuse of the arctools settings editor. I set both the properties availablein the settings editor and afterwards couldn't boot android (it loops but never starts). I then installed urukdroid , which works, but I still cannot boot into android only the development environment. I have also reflashed the firmware but still have the same problem. In addition, since I installed urukdroid 1.0rc3 I cannot connect to my windows machine outside of the developwe environment. I need to know 3 things:
1) can I only get my android environment back by formatting the drive and reflashing the latest archos firmware
2) if I format the disk will I then be able to connect to my windows machine to reflash the firmware
3) is it possible to reset the properties in the android installation from the urukdroid developer environment
Any help would be appreciated

I have an Archos 101 without root or UrukD, and yesterday my Archos entered on a boot loop... Just switch off Archos and turn it on again...
I have been doing that all day unfortunately

I had the same problem and was dealing with it all weekend. Sometimes the install would complete fine but did not take I guess and I would get the loop.
Yes, formating the system did fix it but you need to install the original Archos firmware first. So, remove SDE, reboot, format the system, install the latest Archos firmware THEN reinstall the SDE and Urukdroid. This is the only way that I have been able to avoid the boot loop. Hope that help.
Sorted!!
I sorted it out by reinitializing Android from the repair menu, which while reinstalling the main Android, didn't effect the developer edition.
OK that's done now to see if upgrading the Urukdroid google market will cause problems.

Dear All
I'm a new android user, I just get a new A50 from Australia and try to root it. It's successful with z4root and I try to install Thai font to system. Unfortuantely I did wrong by deleting font folder in the system, therefore I can't run the system again. When I power on, it still have only garmin asus android logo and can't use it again. Does anyone please let me know how to restore or resolve this problem, or I have to throw it away? Thank you in advance.

Android 1.6 or the new 2.1 Eclair update?
It's a new Eclair 2.1 update, is there any solution?
Connect it to your computer via USB cable.
Using ADB, try this:
ADB REBOOT RECOVERY.
If it works, a yellow triangle appears with the green android guy.
Hit the HOME button. A menu appears. Use volume up/down to move through the options. Tap power to select it I beleive.
Reset/wipe to factory is one of the options.
If you need it, ADB is found in the Android SDK.
If that doesn't work, try calling in to Garmin for support.

Dear Spazmogen
Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm really new with ANDROID.
I downloaded ANDROID SDK and try to install but it dodn't work.
I use Win 7 64bit, do I need another software to run this command.
If possible, please let me know some previous post that already teach for beginner.
Thank you in advance.

ADB is a command line tool. But you will have to get Android SDK installed on the computer 1st.
Read the instructions for installing the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
ADB commands: HERE.
Interesting. I got into the recovery screen using the Quick Boot app,used the home button to show the menu. The arrows and volume buttons move, but can't actually do anything. Probably related to missing files that are reported in the data/cache/recovery folder.
https://www.garminasus.com/en_US/support/eclair/006-B1130-00.update
official 2.1 update came out today for USA GARMINFONES. Not the A50 Nuvifones elsewhere in the world...
Is the update different from the leaked one?
Sent from my Garminfone using XDA App
I am waiting for an answer to that question myself. I have no plans to change from the leaked version Garmin posted in mid-November.

Apparently someone did a bit comparison and said they matched. Plus, I tried and it told me it was the same version. On the plus side, I messed up my recovery partition and recovered it using the backups I made of each partition after I loaded 2.1 (dump_image). I made img backups and tar backups of all the files in 1.6 (I am anal about backing up). Good thing because 2.1 doesn't come with flash_image.
I can get into fastboot and the driver loads and stuff, but I get no devices listed when I do fastboot devices command. Next stop is Ubuntu
I know it works,just need to know how to get to it. Btw,I tried both the Garmin fastboot and adb drivers as well as adding the device hardware id's into the android drivers and neither worked.
I also need to find out if there is a similar enough kernel that I can use to get a fully functional recovery mode. I did find out that you can use adb just fine in the stock one and it loads a serial driver as well.
any possible way I could get that backup you made? I apparently didnt save my backup to the pc. And currrently I messed up permissions on my Garmin trying to get recovery working. I cant run the update or anything.
I've just stumbled across this forum post from google, I too am need of fixing my phone. All that is faulty is that the recovery mode has been overwritten with an incorrect one. Is it possible to extract the recovery image and reflash it from the optus supplied Android 2.1 006-B1130-00.update file?
Or is there a way of just getting say Rom Manager to work some magic for me?
Yes, it is possible... would be easier if someone could just use dump_image on a phone that has a working recovery mode and root access. I can provide the dump app and instructions.
Where can I get the Optus update, and are you positive recovery works on it? Does it also have working fastboot?
And to the other poster, which partition do you need? Btw, Rom manager has a permission fix mode. I can get you a tar file if it is the system partition or your choice of img or tar for the others.
And to everyone, after updating to 2.1, do a master clear because a lot of 1.6 apps are left over... duplicates.
Also, odexing all apps speeds it up a lot, with the caveat that you have to re-run the odex.sh file (found somewhere here and modified by me to be more thorough) after every app update or you will get force closes.
Oh I just reflashed the update again, and I got my recover menu back!
I'm not sure if i need any help anymore, but thanks for your offer of help merwin.
By working, do you mean that you can get to it with a hardware key combination and can actually select items?
first of all ,i 'm sorry for my english .my a50 is dead too.i also delet font folder and i use the adb command 'adb reboot recovery'.but the error is device not found. and my pohone can not boot .it stop at the android guy . how can i setup the device..Q.......Q......help me ..pls

Don't worry, it's not killed.
If your device says update failed, usually it's because aos file is corrupted or file name is invalid. First, make sure that the filename is correct, browsers often modify name when you download same file multiple times.
And if it's correct then try to download it again from Archos website.
If nothing works, choose reformat device then try again.
If the failed is error 101, make sure you have the newest version of the update

You boot the tablet as usual and run Paul's root. Then you enable sde. After this, copy the file to the internal storage of the device using your computer. Boot into recovery. Go to development > install ramdisk. Another drive will appear on your PC. Copy the other 2 files onto it and press the power button on the device. Wait and then reboot

Stuck in a boot loop
Hi guys and gals, 101g9 250gb is stuck in a boot loop....
SO FAR...
I had sever problems with crashing on the archos FW.
So I switched to a xda dev version (can't remember which one).
It worked well for 2 weeks, then just started a reboot loop.
I tried in this order:
Restarting in safe (button) mode 545434times
uninstalling the dev and reinstalling the archos FW
formatting android
formatting every other thing
Reinstalling the SDE menu - then trying a xdadev
It's still stuck in a boot loop.
Any help would be great.....
thanks
Hello,
A few months ago, i rooted our Archos 101 succesfully. Multiboot. Worked nice.
Then the firmware came, and my partner let it install. But it failed halfway.
He tried some things, but no succes.
Now we found this guide on how to install the firmware.
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=54637
This guide seems to be the windows version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196318
My partner tried the steps, but nothing seems to work.
We have only the recovery menu, without the SDE .....
I tried to use the stock firmware and the sde version. But it stops directly, saying: update failed
I tried the format option, the fw-update version.
I tried downing with firefox and iE8. We use the original file-name
Nothing helps
I hope we are not bricked.
What can we do?
Thanks in advance,
Lydia

Hi,
What's your tab? it will help us i think.
and, have you all stock menu (except sde menu of course)?
I have no idea, except, your hardware is damaged.
another question comes to me: The full format works well?
Bizcuite
If u can uninstall SDE do it (if you dont have SDE menu skip this step). Try full device reformat. Make sure you download the right firmware for your device cuz many people made the mistake to download the wrong one.
We have an Archos 101 internet 8gb gen8
We used this stock firmware:
update.archos.com/8/gen8/gen8_2.4.83/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
and this sde firmware:
archos.com/support/download/firm_dev/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
(sorry outside links are not allowed for me yet)
We tried several formats. The guide let to format from within windows. Recently I cleaned my computer. So no ADB of Android sdk intstalled at the moment. The format from the windows-admin is a bit strange, but I hoped the guide was ok.
We tried FAT and FAT32
It seem to work.
We have only the white screen with the boot menu. No SDE.
The firmware worked in the beginning but got stuck and hanged voor about half an hour. Then we interupted it by switching off the tablet
Now it won't start any script.
I do hope it is nothing with the hardware! Could it really go wrong when roootin?
Greetz, Lydia
Hi everyone,
I have a Sony Tablet S with Android Version 4.0.3 release 5a and I am having problems with the Android Software, the programs such as browser, games even android base applications keep crashing. The device is still under warranty and I sent it for repair however the service here requested around 100$ for software installation as it is not under warranty. This is too much for me so I decided to do it myself however. I have searched this forum and many more to find a solution however even I have tried every step described in forums several time I could not be able to reinstall latest ROM from SD Card. I really desperately need some help here as this device is purchased solely for my daughter who loves android games alot.
I really appreciate any help you may provide.

hello,
try a hard reset. hold VOL up + POWER and when you see the logo sony release the VOL up button. then choose a factory reset. do not have to install from sd card.
Already tried hard and soft reset. Doesn't work.
I will try to describe the problem in full detail. I have weird error messages like "Google Play Store stopped working" "browser stopped working" "clock stopped working" and such error messages and when I try to uninstall programs i can uninstall them however when the tablet restarts they are all there, I think machine resets it self. If i try to uninstall a program called "Ustream" the tablet immediately goes off, and restarts resetting it self again. Even the soft and hard reset can not solve the problem. I have tried to boot the device, it says it is booted (I have managed to run adb and flash tools) how ever when the tablet restarts it again resets it self having the exact same situation as before. I have downloaded the official R5A update from the Sony Website when ever i try to install update from SD, the machine stops saying the operation is aborted due to some error. There must be a way to reset this machine to what ever it was.

I have already tried that. The adb, flasher and other tools that I have found in this site. All in one tool says it has succesfully rooted the device but whenever it boots it restores itself to a previous unknown backup with all the applications installed and I guess not rooted state. I have used the flasher yet it needs rooted device. I have tried to update the system from SD, it says the software is low version (5A). I can not do anything. There must be a solution for this.

After attempting root the tablet is rebooting into the other partition. (There are two system partitions). Can you try rooting again and on the last reboot boot into recovery and try to install R5a twice in a row without restarting from the recovery menu. Hopefully this will catch the system switch and install R5a on the other system

After the update fail. Use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it here and I will see what is happening
The flashing operation fails as the system can not access to the specified directory. Whenever I run the flashing tool the command windows background turns to red and I see this error. ADB can list the device yet I can not flash it.
By the way I have to reinstall all the drivers everytime I connect the tablet to PC, if I remove the cable and re mount it adb fails to list the device.
Hello when i, make system recovery, ant me tablet reboot, and don't not loading only show archos logo screen, and i cant use system recovery, where is the problem, how i can fix it?
If you had custom rom installed and made reset to factory settings, then this is an usual problem.
Try to flash rom again.
Check if you can enter in recovery menu by pressing "volume up + power on" on powered off device.
Thank you recovery menu now working, what rom is recomendet for me tablet?
Before installing custom rom, install official rom for your tablet, you can find it on archos website.
I'm using freezenook ROM. Do not reset your config in future with this rom. Only stock rom doing it correctly.

The update firmware option in recovery is what you want. Choose that. Hook data cable up to computer. In windows you should see a new drive pop up saying Recovery or Rec or something. It may say 180mb or something but Archos' firmware should fit on it just fine.

I'm having the same issues.. my girlfriends kid hates me and bricked my archos 101 good...I only have a three hundred megabytes drive I don't see the actual hard drive for the Archos I put the firmware on there and as soon as it tries to update the firmware disappears and the drive becomes invisable/unreadable again. I do get an archos splash screen occasionally but it locks there.
I have to do the full archos format twice before my computer can see it again I'm trying on both windows 8 & 7.. I've tried with the supplied archos cable and went out and bought a new cable just in case both a 4 pin and 7 pin miniusb. I tried flashing the developer firmware and it booted up to the new splash screen froze there. I left ir on that screen went and did my laundry.. came home and nothing it was still stuck there.. i rebooted and i do not even see the watermark they talk about.. I'm ready to drop kick it but i love it..
I do know that the 300Mb drive does NOT have the correct serial number.. it is formatted fat 32..
With partition manager i can change the allocation from logical/primary. I can change it from a fat 32 to a fat 32 lba.
Or Linux fat 16 or something else. I tried changing the serial number of the drive and after the failed update it is incorrect again. And it wont allow me to enter the pc before the serial just the c.
I'm so frustrated and need help please my archos is my sanity on a 2hour bus and train ride to and from work everyday. This is going on week 3
Thanks for your help if you have any further ideas they are greatly appreciated
If you have only 300mb free I assume you are talking about the flash memory then. The HD models have an internal flash that programs get installed to and then the seperate HD where all your mp3s, videos, etc get installed to.
Have you gone into recovery and just tried to update the firmware from there directly? Same thing as Glen460 was instructed to do
