hi,
i made a Format system in the recovery mode, and my 101G9 trubo only boot in recovery mode.
i've download the .aos file to install the firmware, but i can't transfer it to the tablet.
in windows 7, my tablet is no more recognize as a Hard disk but as 2 amovible drive (like a cd player) .
so i can't copy any file on it
i try to update my usb driver, reinstall it.
same on the tablet, try to make another format.
it's still the same.
has somebody a solution to make my tablet recognize as a hard disk so i can reinstall the firmware ?

First choose Update Firmware in recovery, next connect USB cable.
Driver is not required, tablet will be seen as removable drive
thanks, works fine

All I wanted to do is go back to a stock rooted device with ext4 support.
I had Uruk 1.64 installed. All seemed to be working, but it was slugish on my 101 G8. So I reformated device, tried to drop in the latest AOS firmware from Archos and all I get is "Update Failed (1)". I removed the SDE, Formated Device and tried to install the firmware with the same message comming up. It automatically boots to the recovery menu now.
Is it normal to have to format the 101 with fat32 before I copy the new AOS? Whenever I "Update Firmware", it formats itself under the recovery menu then forces me to format it under Windows 7 x64 so I can copy the AOS firmware to the 101.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. (I have also removed the SD card and tried it that way as well)
Try to download the firmware again. This error is often caused by corrupted download.
Or by people that don't look for the right filename.
It really has to be "firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos" not "firmware_archos_android_gen8(1).aos" or anything else.
I already downloaded the image 3 times and renamed it proper (without the numbers)
Can't figure this one out
make sure you've downloaded firmware that matches your device, not 70b etc
I downloaded the firmware on the Archos site for "Archos 28/32/35/43/70/101 internet tablet". I have the G8 101 16gb
can you borrow an USB cable from a friend? maybe you've hit it somehow and it causes data loses. there 0.01% for it to happen. try to fit it well. out of ideas...
I will try a different computer and cable. I was able to copy files to the 101 however. I will give it a shot.
I think it has something to do with the Urukdroid installation on the MicroSD. I was not able to update the firmware; however, when I inserted the micro SD with Uruk on it, it booted back into Uruk. I have since formatted the MicroSD and now I can get nothing to work.
Tried a different computer, download and cable to no avail. Any suggestions?
Is it normal for Windows to format your 101's drive before it can mount it? It makes me do this everytime before I attempt to update the firmware.
SOLVED!!!!
Had to change the file type to "vfat" in the Format menu. I was able to then update the Firmware.
Hello all,
I am running Linux on laptop, and the way I flash the RemixOS iso to my USB drive is with dd, and everything seems to work great.
My question: Is there a way to install RemixOS to the USB Flash Drive in such a way that it resembles a permanent full installation?
For example, I could give the USB 1 partition, format ext4, copy the files over, install bootloader, done.
Has anyone tried this or have any information regarding this?
Maybe I'll try this and pass USB to the vm as sda:

I was running the Pure Nexus ROM but took the decision to try a new one, that's when the trouble started.
Before semi bricking the N9, i updated the version of TWRP on it to 3.2.1-0 and installed supersu as it wasn't rooted prior to messing it up.
IO think the trouble started when TWRP was asking for a password, and it didn't match the PIN i had setup. Anyway, i d/loaded slimrom 7.1.2 and gapps to root of SD card, did a factory reset and wiped, system, dalvik and cache. When i went to flash the new ROM, i couldn't see the zip file in the root folder.
If i look at the root folder in recovery, i see one of the images below and the other when rebooting the tablet.
When i try to connect the N9 to my windows 10 PC it is not being detected, i don't know why do to about this to try and go down the adb route.
I have installed Android Studio to try and move things on, but i don't know what to do next, or even if anything can be done.
I am almost sure i had the OEM unlocked before flashing the rom.
Can someone suggest what i should try next? I won't be able to check back in for a day or two due to work, but i definitely will when i get the chance.
TIA
Did you format data? To remove encryption. Format, not wipe.

Gave it a go, no luck unfortunately. The sdcard is as the attached image.
I have ordered an OTG cable, hopefully i will be able to flash a rom that way on TWRP.
Edit: i was able to borrow an OTG cable. I formatted it FAT32 on windows PC and copied across the rom zip file. I rebooted into recovery on N9, and tried to mount the usb drive, but it is not appearing on the list of devices. When i pligged the same OTG cable and attached usb drive into my phone, it picked them up, so i think the otg cable i am using is good.

If you formatted data, there won't be anything on sdcard. You'll have to either push it with adb, or as you said otg.
Or download the factory image and fastboot flash to start over. Or sideload the full OTA zip (they have full images of ota zips now).
Got it sorted in the end. Embarrassingly the reason the tablet wasn't detected by my Windows PC is because the cable was a little lose.

At least you got it. And a little tip, you can screenshot in twrp just like in the os. Power + volume down
If you don't have SD card or USB OTG .
And used the tips available on the net on Format and repair / modify files via TWRP. But still does not work. And you are sure of the functionality of the USB and ports.
So here is the simple solution: uninstall google ADB drivers, or any other driver not related to your phone ' manufacturer. Repulse /replug the USB cable and wait for the reinstallation of the drivers. MTP will appear. But restart your PC to get storage. (paste your recovery there) if you are trying to restore a backup. Or flash file (custom or stored ROM). Good luck
Hi i accidentaly wiped my Android OS, recovery mode isnt working neither is ADB or fastboot,
i think my only solution is to flash it with an SD card or use stock recovery files with an SDcard, but neither works because i put update.zip into the root of SD card, and it only detects it and asks to install while its connected to PC with usb, but when i press install its restarts and its black screen(probably cant see SD anymore because of lost contact with pc), i tested it multiple times and it doesent asks to install update.zip firmware when its not connected to PC and turned on normally.
any other solutions?
i also tried to make a bootable SD card with rockchip sd maker , also wont boot from it even when plugged in pc( i guess too late contact with pc)
the device is prestigio pmp5880d
ANY help is appreaciated
also the tablet has a reset pinhole which only restarts the tablet
AFAIK Android doesn't make use of bootable SD-card unless it's added to Android's fstab file what gets processed when Android boots up.
so for what is rockchip SD disk tool used for then?
and why isn't my SD recognized to install update.zip when NOT connected to PC
anything i can do about it?
are you telling me this device is unflashable?
If your time allows look inside here to get an idea of what the Android Boot Process is about:

BTW:
Never have used the Rockchip SD Firmware Tool, hence I don't know what it does. But I'm pretty sure it only is suitable to Rockchip devices.
thanks a lot for this , its an interesting read.
yes my device is indeed rockchip RK3066.
edit:
flashed the device with stock rom using fastboot on linux, it couldnt get detected on windows no matter what i did.
