You should not go into recovery and then Developer edition, you should select Developer in the first menu.

Reinstall original archos firmware.

Once you get the stock firmware running again and the developper edition removed, some leftover files can be still found in the root directory.

If you don't think you'll come back to CyanogenMod/OpenAOS, they're not needed anymore.

First of all, stop panicking. This unlock thing is a minor issue and it sure as well won't affect your recovery. Try it again carefully. And try home+vol down+power.

thanks for the remind
Why, really, WHY would you tick the "unlock with trackball" option when you DON'T have a trackball? :| Please, enlighten me.
I have an advice for you: go buy a Nokia 3310 and stop using this one.
because i think no need to install anything then can use the trackball unlock function
thats why i do it

[Q] [HELP] Best way to recover an Archos 101 G9 (then root it)

Hi,
Was trying to root an Archos 101 G9 and followed the instructions here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360840
No problem. Paul's root worked, broke my sound, installed 1 and 2, removed local.prop, all working nicely.
So I rebooted it and tried to get into the recovery console so I could have a play with the SDE menu and now it just comes up with a menu
"Archos A101S Recovery
Would you like to recover your system?
No
Reboot
Update firmware
Repair System
Format System"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whatever I do, it just reboots to this screen. Hold vol - or vol + makes no difference, it flashes up the Archos boot screen and then goes white.
As for the menu, I have tried most of them, only "Format" left and I don't know if I can fix it if I do that, so decided to ask here....
So, any clues?
Thanks in advance.
Well, if you don't see the developer menu, it means that the sde kernel didn't flash properly.
When you don't press volume keys, does the device boot properly ?
If it does, re-do the whole procedure and show me what is displayed when you launch the batch file. Launch it in a cmd window, not directly from explorer to be able to copy/paste.
If it doesn't boot normally, make it work again first by re-flashing firmware with "update firmware " in recovery.
Thank you for your reply.

Sadly, that was the problem. Endless loop of boot into white screen.... boot into white screen.... ever since I went anywhere near the SDE console.
Finally got it to re-do the firmware so is now back to stock. Turns out it doesn't like it if you rename the firmware AOS file (ie "firmware_archos_it4.aos") to include a version number (ie "firmware_archos_it4_3_2_56.aos") and just says "Update Failed".
Once that's figured out, it's "Update firmware", copy AOS file across into the RAMFS drive you can see in windows and select OK on the tablet. Rest is automated.
Starting again....
Paul's root, done.....
SDE enabling done.
Remove Paul's root (fixes sound and sleep issues).....
Tablet still works.... now to figure out how to root it.

Ok, good. So now, in recovery you should have the developer menu.
If you do have it, next step is flashing from developer menu a rooted firmware, take a look here.

How to remove urukdroid 1.6?

Hi Guys,
has anyone been able to uninstall urukdroid 1.6 and revert to the original Archos firmware?
I've seen various suggestions from older versions... mainly around wiping file system.
... but no luck so far.
Sure I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas?
Cheers.
You want a way without system wipe? The options are:
1. if you have Stock firmware and Urukdroid - go to recovery menu and select "Developer edition menu" then select "Uninstall Developer Edition". This way you will have only Stock firmware left.
2. If you have only UrukDroid, unstall SDE and select "Update Firmware" upload the Stock firmware from Archos site and you're done.
3. Uninstall SDE (Special Developer Edition) and format the device to make sure its clean. Dont worry, after you format it the device will ask you to connect it to the PC and upload the firmware (you can find it in Archos site). Simply upload it and press the power button nothing can mess up. The installation will end and you will be back to Stock firmware like you wanted.
Thanks Mavasilisk, that's very helpful.
I worked out where I was going wrong. Was booting into urukdroid repair menu... not the Archos recovery menu. Doh!
In case any one else having same problem:
Archos Recovery Menu: Hold Vol + as soon as you reboot and screen goes black.
Urukdroid Repair Menu: Hold Vol + or - as soon as you seen urukdroid splash screen.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.

Stock Recovery Problem

I had TWRP recovery installed but wanted to go back to stock so I can install OTA updates.
Try as I might I can't get stock recovery installed!
I tried SkipSoft Android Toolkit, no joy.
Manually flashing via fastboot from the factory image of various builds, still no joy..
Finally I used the SkipSoft Toolkit to upgrade to Android 7.0 and again still no stock recovery!
Every time I try to boot to recovery I just get a black screen with the green robot in the centre, belly open and a red warning triangle, in 7.0 it says "no command" underneath.
Anyone have any ideas?...

Hi, darrenspence....
The red triangle with the "no command" message IS the stock recovery.
To access the recoveries menu, you need to press VOL UP and the POWER ON button simultaneously. This key press combo can sometimes be a bit tricky to get the exact timing right, so persevere.

Hi Ged, thanks for the advice.
I'm already familiar with the menu options in fastboot, guess I was expecting a more "spectacular" recovery screen, at least with a few simple options!
Have to wait for the next OTA update to see what happens..

...And those options are there... They're just hidden!
I wasn't referring to the menu options in fastboot... I was referring to the hidden menu options in the stock recovery.
So, whilst on the unspectacular red triangle and "no command" stock recovery screen, do the following...
** Press and hold the Power Button.
** Whilst holding it, press Volume Up once.
The screen will suddenly become a trifle more spectacular.
We're not talking fireworks and acrobats here . Just a few menu options and the version of the stock recovery currently installed, if confirmation is needed.
See attached photographs of the Stock Recovery (from Nougat) on my Nexus 9, showing the hidden menu options. (Apologies for the image quality).
Hope this helps.

I bow to your superior knowledge!
Found the menu first time! Fairly unspectacular but at least the basic options are there.
I now await the next OTA to see if the device updates or no.. Still rooted via SuperSu systemless but feeling hopeful..
Cheers,
Darren
