Is it possible to downgrade the firmware on the G9?
I just updated to ICS, but would like to go back...
Or, if anybody can tell me how to hide the menu bar completely for a kiosk application I am developing, that would be helpful.
This is possible in Honeycomb from what I can tell by killing systemUi, but not in ICS.
Thanks

YES.
You can do this, if you flash ICS rooted version and than you can install Custom Rom 3.2.80 ! .....after that you can install firmware_archos_it4.aos , or may be you don't need Custom Rom. Try directaly after ICS root to install orig Honeycomb....IT shoud be ork too ! Good luck !
try this
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_/3.2.8/firmware_archos_it4.aos
boot to recovery, then update firmware, plug tablet into your computer, put this in the drive that pops up
when i try to update with the custom 3.2.80 rom, it says I need an lzo file, not gz. Is there a way to convert it?
In the meantime, I am trying the original 3.2.80 from archos. (It didn't work - error 221).
Thanks

ICS updated also recovery, now it requires initramfs.cpio.lzo
Just rename the file, it is in correct format already

Hi!
If you rename initramfs ...do you think that we can do update directly over Honeycomb ?
Honestly I didn't tried to see if it works ....

Reformat in archos recovery and reflash. It will wipe your internal memory though

I didn't check if installing 3.2.xx over ICS will change recovery (back to initramfs.cpio.gz) but I doubt it will

Same to me Error 221. How is the correct name for firmware_archos_it4.aos?
I want to downgrade vom 403 zu 32.80.
im getting the same error 221 , i also want to downgrade to 3.2.80
i have no programming skills whatsoever, i just follow tutorials
something i did notice however was that the linux kernel for 3.2.80 was 2.x? and the kernel for 4.04 is 3.X
does it mean that the new release has made it unable to read the .aos from 3.2.80, like a new recovery menu
Please write to archos's technical Support!

I wonder is there a real way to downgrade Archos 4.0.28 firmaware to 3.2.80?
I tried to downgrade and received an android robot picture rotating on loading for many minutes
I could only update it again with 4.0.28 firmware to make the tablet working

You can't root with the Wildfire on 2.2.1. You will have to wait till a software solution comes by.
Till now, the only way to root is to find someone with an XTC Clip (A hardware unlocking box), get S-OFF on your phone, and then downgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.1, and then root.
hi,
u must downgrade to 2.1 with RUU WWE in shipped rom and do unrevoke to root it. install wildpuzzle or impros or CM7 , so u can use live wallpaper.

Don't spread wrong information / misunderstanding among members please. Downgrading will work, but, it will just downgrade the Android OS from 2.2.1 to 2.1, but not the HBOOT, meaning even if you downgrade, it will NOT be rootable using Unrevoked.
As I stated, the only way as of now is to find someone with an XTC Clip box.

There's no info at all about when it will release. Sorry.
To install APK Files, first, just get any File Manager from the market (eg: ASTRO). Then, enable Sideloading by going to Settings > Applications > Tick Mark Unknown Sources. Then, simply open the APK file using the File Manager.
hi
i upgraded and rooted the new ics firmware last night.. am i right in thinking it is impossible to downgrade ?
i wanted to go on the 3.2.80 with overclocking custom rom
i tried renaming the initramfs to lzo with no luck
i did install ics .aos back onto it with no problems then rooted it again with 4.04 . i just don't know where to go from here.. i want to overclock because archos just gave me an upgrade for free to the 1.5ghz , which overclocked would be a monster tablet
im an idiot really because i upgraded to ics before looking at the forum and reallsing there was surdu's 3.2.80 oc edition
any help would be greatly appreciated
sorry, but you cant downgrade to another FW you can only update, i cant say you why Archos make it :S

PS Procedure is suggested by Cat McGowan here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31723451&postcount=194
I tried but when I boot in recovery It sais E: /sdcard failed to mount can't found such directory
and when I put an SD card in it sais E:/sdcard failed to mount invalid argument
So don't know what to do?

Xperia tab??? There is no honeycomb update for them, correct? It may be possible to use AIO to change to a org tab s region. However this has not been confirmed to work. May brick device from changing region.zip though

OH, just thought you were new here lol. Look in dev for AIO tool, downgrading has been around for 6 months lol. Use version 4.0 not version 4.1 (bit buggy) check out my old FAQ in signature for details, Which is where Cat McGowan redirected you, Piece of piss really, can't mess it up, semi-automated.

There is no India 3.2.(1) anymore, removed from Sony servers. Change region to US (WIFI ONLY). Then you can downgrade to 3.2(1). Then you could change back to India. Use AIO too custom update to Downgrade to 3.2.1 with root (to be safe) even though the US 3.2.1 online here is rootable with the old method.
Good luck

Okay bro, i will try by changing region.
Bro, with AIO how can i get the pre-rooted version of 3.2.1, where i can i download prerooted 3.2.1. files? sorry for asking too noobish question bro

Run aio, change region > 25 > 1 for 16gb, 2 for 32
Download from my update links in signature, scroll down to US and download, copy to external sd card
Run AIO, 3 > 1 > hold vol up and turn on tab while still holding up, > let update run, when it stops AIO says select update, on tab choose update 0042 (you downloaded) > on pc y
Follow screen prompt, tahdah lol

Perfect, i'll try that soon.

Okay thanks, i think i will stay with ICS for now and enjoy root :fingers-crossed:
Downgrade to Honeycomb is VERY EASY
crack the ver num in prop files
then flash stock 3.2.1 rom by sd card
every thing will be done in 10 mins
but since you have not 3.2.1 rom of your regain,change regain is need
some good of 3.2.1
battery is more long life
more app and game
better ui
I somehow managed to downgrade to HC from link proved by condi in his all in one topic but it (hc) turned out to be kernal 10 which is unrootable

You will be very lucky to find that file. You should go up to ICS then preroot the HC update and then flash using AIO.
Hence giving you HC rooted.
Stifilz
THAT 3.2.1 rom is not easy to find
suggest you upgrade to 4.0.3 use ota
root it
then change to us 3.2.1 r2 rom,(Or china rom,i have it
last root it again
PS:not all ver#10 HC is un-root able!,my china 3.2.1 r2 is rooted by aio!
Yea bro, i have again upgraded to ICS but not with ota.. but downloading req file from stifilz bro's update thread. It all went just fine.
Yesterday, rooted it too. All well right now.
Now regarding HC, i have few doubts in mind. Can you guys please suggest:
-I have not yet understood how to install HC that is with kernal 10 which is rootable. stifilz suggested to install with aio to get the root on HC but i don't really get the steps. Can you please elaborate how to install HC and get it rooted step by step?
-In ICS, there is patch in aio to make it enable "Use sd card 2 as USB storage ", is there something available like this in HC?
-I sometime get microphone issue on ICS, has somebody else face similar issue and on HC microphone work well?
Thanks again guys for your help

normal HC is rootable,just use aio,make sure ver is 3.2.1,not 3.2
by now,only china #10 version is rootable,i 'am lucky chinese
maybe u can make a pre-root hc rom by aio,just like pre-root ics (just in theory)
-In ICS, there is patch in aio to make it enable "Use sd card 2 as USB storage ", is there something available like this in HC?
USB storage is ics ONLY
-I sometime get microphone issue on ICS, has somebody else face similar issue and on HC microphone work well?
i'am no care about that

Hi.
I'd like to downgrade my Archos g8 90 from 4.0.25, root version, to standard 4.0.7.
I've installed the SDE.
Can I make the downgrade directly or I need to do anything else ?
Thanks.

Not sure I fully understand your question (maybe a language translation problem), but...
The short answer is... you can always install whatever the LAST official Archos firmware you ever had installed (or any newer higher official Archos firmware) by going into the Recovery menu (hold Volume up or down from a fresh start up), but...
I am really confused because you said you had 4.0.25 rooted... and then you say you installed SDE... and that makes no sense to me at all because you would have had to have had SDE installed to ever even have been able to get any "rooted" firmware installed to start with. So, can you please list just what you have done, and which firmware all the way through things in the exact order you did them?

The Prestigio 5044 is a relatively new device, but I'm wondering if anyone has one and is willing to dump its NAND for me? I have one ordered but I'd like to have a dig through its files before it arrives.
There's a guide to dumping it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44509214&postcount=407 and if anyone'd be able to set me up (sadly there aren't any official images yet!), it'd be much appreciated.

Yo dude, I know Im late as hell but if you're still online, can you give an advice on how to flash stock rom?
I did everything according to some guide but when i should get a green circle - meaning flashing succeeded, I dont get anything..it flashes something cause i see the (pink) line moving forward but after it finishes, there's nothing and when i turned on my phone was the same as before. Probably cause of drivers...
I just want to upgrade the official firmware but as I deleted some stock apps, the update fails. So I found the stock rom, now I just have problems installing drivers and flashing it. Geez on my xperia arc s everything was so easy..
If anyone can help, I'd really appreaciate it
