I've read a lot of topics on here but none to simply teach u how to check what version ( generation) you are running. Brand new to the Archos and trying to help my brother modify it.

Generation 8: models 28, 35, 43, 70 and 101. Originally shipped with Android 2.1 Eclair and then upgraded to 2.2 Froyo.
Generation 9: models so far 80 Classic, 80 Turbo, 101 Classic and 101 Turbo. Running Honeycomb (originally shipped with 3.1 and then updated to.3.2).
You can check your Android version under settings.
If it is an Arnova, I don't know much about those.

I picked up the newly released Archos 70b Internet Tablet recently. Archos announced this 'enhanced' version comes with many upgrades over the standard 70 model including Honeycomb. While it does have the better screen and more RAM its stuck on Android 2.2.1???
Was this a mistake by Archos or should this have the later software as advertised?
Anyone else got one yet?
Archos 70b Internet Tablet - Honeycomb?
If you head over to Forums.Archosfans.com and look at A70 section, you will find quite a lot of info and speculation about the new A70b - but basically expect honeycomb 'anyday'
Hey guys just wondering, i just bought a new tablet from amazon , the TABTRONICS 8GB M009S 7" Capacitive Android tablet PC (link http://www.amazon.co.uk/TABTRONICS-...tablet/dp/B006T099XE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top )
here is the spec-

I am wondering if it is possible to root this device ,with it running 4.0 being a bit harder, i own an xperia play so i know a thing or 2 about this device , but my questions lay with what method is best , what if there is any device usb files i can use for it and also what roms are comapitble ?
I am very clued up so any advice or explanation or directions will be useful
cheers
I don't think so. It's one of those obscure tablets that no one has really heard about. It has a unique processor b/c it's custom made by that company and dont't think anybody has worked on it.
If you are looking for a good, rooting tablet, try the Nexus 7.
Thanks for the advice. I only got this to kind of introduce me to the Tablet world. The Nexus 7 is definitely on my top must have

There might be a way to do it. I know my friend got a cheap $80 tablet off of Amazon that just said Google on the back. It had no brand name what so ever on it. It turned out to be a wondermedia wm 8600 or something like that running some hacked gingerbread version with a fake market. It had an old touch screen, not even capacitive. I found a tool designed to root it and put official market on it and everything, and it worked for like 50 different models that were similar. It didn't make it great, but it worked better and at least had the official market. Maybe there is something like that for yours.
I can't think of the name of the program, but try looking at your model number info and try searching for that specific on Google. You never know what you might find.

i have the archos 70 b internet tablet and its running 2.2 froyo which isnt bad but when i walk into to places like carphone warhouse and see the Gen9 up to date version of mine with 3.2 honeycomb working it really winds me up because archos havent made an update for my one to run 3.2 and it looks so much better than 2.2 which is really starting to bore me now, is there anyway of downloading the Gen9 70b IT firmware from the archos site and putting it on the older Gen8 70b? i see archos have put 'WARNING: This Firmware is ONLY compatible with the ARCHOS 70b internet tablet running Honeycomb (3.2).
It is NOT COMPATIBLE with the Froyo (2.2) versions of the ARCHOS 70b internet tablet.' is that just bull crap to make you go out and buy the newer one or can you actually do it?
No, this is not bull crap, it will brick definitely your tablet if you do. Trust me, I did before the warning was there. So don't
Hey all. I am really new to the forum so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. There seems to be a million places this could get posted so Ill post here to start off!
My gf's mother gave her this cheap tablet called the Supernova from Pandigital. As some of you might now, Pandigital went out of business so there is no support for this tablet. It is still running android 2.3.1. I read that andoird 4.4 only needs 512mb of RAM and felt like it is the perfect opportunity to upgrade this tablet. My gf gave it to me to tinker with so I would love to get KitKat on it!
So i guess my question is how can I start learning more about installing android on devices so I can possibly put it on this tablet? Also where is the best place to post about this device.
Tablet Specs:
Screen: 600x800 7or8in
OS: Android 2.3.1
RAM: 512mb
Memory: 4gb
Ext. Memory: 16gb Micro SD card
Proccessor: Samsung S5PV210
CPU Type: ARM Coretex-A8
CPU Speed: 1.06GHz
GPU: Unknown
Bluetooth: 2.1
Wifi: 802.11 b/g/n
Almost 80 people have viewed this post and no one has responded. Can someone at least point me in the right direction of learning how to install or modify android to work with this device? Or even the basic tutorials that can help me learn about coding for android and making this work.

Hi all!
I have Archos 101 Childpad with android 4.2.2 that is slow and sluggish.
Does anyone know if there is a official android upgrade for this tablet, or is it so old it's time for the trash bin?
It's mainly going to be used by my 3 year old son, so simple games and youtube viewing is going to be installed on it.
I don't need the songs/bear functionality it came with, so any newer android version that will run on it (without killing it's performance) is appreciated.
I tried to look at Archos home page, but I couldn't even find the childpad model listed on the page anymore.
I have no idea which gen (8,9,10,???) this tablet is, but I hope I posted this in the correct forum.
Thanks in advance!
