Such a concern that I wanted to make a formation Arcohs 101 G9 Tablet PC. I went to the Archos A101S Recovery Menu by holding down the volume + button and switch the power on button. Its a stupid mistake I selected from the Format System-> Device Reformat. Of course I did not know that before the computer to connect and integrate the Archos firmware file to the root folder. Android is removed?, at least it does not Boot up your computer as well, and does not connect, what to do?
1. Go to the right Forum, this is for the Gen8, not your Gen9.
2. Download the aos file from Archos, go into recovery and flash the FW as is described in the forum.

hello people
i have removed the stock os from my archos 101 and have only urukDroid 0.7..

greets

when you buy the plugin, you can download an .aos file called "cinema_XXXXXXXXX_plugin.aos" where XXXXX is some hash or key or whatever.
then restart the gen8 device into recovery mode and do upgrade firmware and install the plugin .aos file
Hi,
i've tried to install the file but i can't ...
I've uruk 1.0 when restart in recovery mode , go to update firmware, the device check the file system and after i get error update failed (1) ..
I have the same problem with UD 1.6RC1, how can i install the plugin who have i purchased?
I have only UD on my tablet intern.
guys - u can ONLY have ud - u always have the stock OS still.
So reboot holing down vol- key - boot into android and there install the aos file (go to filemanager and install by clicking on it)
(DONT try to flash the file with recovery)
then u can reboot into UD again and it should show up as registered there also (as far as i read)
When i reboot und holding - there is no point to boot Stock Android.
There ist only:
No
Reboot
Update Firmware
Repair System
Format System
Developer Edition Menu
No more ....
@piti only volume down and power. you help volume up + down and power, didn't you`?
When holding - and power on then comes:
No
Reboot
Update Firmware
Repair System
Format System
Developer Edition Menu
When click - (or hold +) and power on then comes:
Boot AlternativeOS
Repair menu
Backup menu
Boot UrukDroid
ah, I see. you have that multiboot thing on your archos, right? so better ask them for booting questions
OK i have click "Update Firmware" and install 2.4.65 on the tablet.
Now i have the entry "Android" in the boot menu.
I have installed the plugin under stock android and boot back in ud.
It works perfect now.
y - somehow u ****ed your stock rom before the "no" options should have sounded "android"
well glad u have made it now
Hey,
I just received my Archos 101, currently running Urukdroid 0.6. The previous owner did not do a complete factory reset, so his google account and apps, etc, are still on the archos. I've tried every way of reseting the device in the "Repiar + Formating" menu in the settings. Each time I reboot, everything is still the same.
How do I do a complete factory reset?
First option is to do easyinstall from urukdroid once again, after that you have a clean archos, but still urukdroid at it.
Im not sure but in the boot menu there's an entry "Delete Developer Firmware" maybe with this, but ask sauron or some other guys before doing that! Im a noob
I had the same problem for a week^^
i had to do the same. Here is what you have to do, it will wipe everything out and give you a clean slate to start(back to stock). Go to the archos website, and download the newest firmwear. on the archos, but into recovery mode, connect to your pc and drag the downloaded file onto your archos. (I think the file was like 80megs) after the file is copied onto the archos tap the power button once, and it will reset the archos. When it reinstalls the firmwear it must be plugged in. PM me if you have any questions.
Power off your machine, press the + volume key and hold it down, then power on. You should see a menu that lets you delete the developer edition.
I installed clockworkmod per instructions.
When I press the on and volume up buttons I get the appropriate message and then the system boots with the tap n tap (ugh) rom.
I never see a clockworkmod menu
What am I doing wrong?
I am having the same issue!!! I am beyond frustrated right now. I have downgraded to 1.1 and had success during one try and from now on trying to boot into Clockwork it won't let me. All it does is say booting from kernal image and then goes to the splash screen then to the box with the down arrow and continues until it goes right back to the viewsonic birds and boots to the normal rom again.
What the He!! am I doing wrong here? I have already done a factory reset with data wipe...

That is exactly what I was watching and following when this happened to me. Any other ideas? I did however just return the other one after clearing the data and got another one so I am going to try and avoid doing that again.. I am going to try and tread slowly here so I can get things right....
I've had 100% success using the instructions here:

Go to the first link (Dropbox) and, if Windows, download the 2 zipped files. I will say I bought a Viewsonic G tablet back in December and I had to used the older zipped file in the DEPRECATED folder. My latest Viewsonic G tablet works with the latest files.
Unzip the 2 files, combine into one folder, plug in the USB cable, and reboot by holding the POWER button *and* the Vol- button. You should see the initial boot screen but should quickly see a black screen. Run the .bat file (nvflash_gtablet.bat). If the computer doesn't see the tablet, read the above link on how to make sure you've installed the drivers for the tablet. Once the batch file ends, your tablet will automatically reboot. I would suggest powering off the tablet before it reboots as you can install CW_Mod via NVFlash, which is what I do. Grab CW_Mod 1.1 (not 1.2). Unzip the UPDATE.ZIP file and copy RECOVERY.IMG to the folder where you combined the 2 zipped files from Dropbox. Connect your tablet to your PC via the USB cable. Reboot the tablet again by pressing the POWER button while holding the Vol- button. Same thing--i.e. initial boot screen, then a black screen. Either create a batch file or run the following command (sorry cannot remember the thread where I found this, so I take no credit for this):
nvflash.exe --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 recovery.img
This is a quick process. Once the command finishes. Unplug your USB cable from your tablet and hold down the POWER button to turn off your tablet. You can either power it back on or power it back on and check to make sure CW_Mod is installed (recommended). For this, press the POWER button while holding down the Vol+ key until you see the line of text appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
Again, on one of my Viewsonic G tablets, I had to use the zipped file contained in the DEPRECATED folder on the Dropbox. I can't remember what the current files did (think soft-brick).
Good luck. As I've said, I've used these steps so many times as I went through every 1.1 ROM and 1.2 ROM trying to find the one I liked and the steps were perfect. At this point, though, while in CW_Mod, I would go through the process of partitioning your system and formatting stuff.
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.

I had it in mind but I guess'd if you have UrukDroid you couldnt make such a mistake lol
Hi. This is the only relative place I could find to put this thread. I have not used my Archos 101 IT in 2-3 years and decided to try it out again. I have absolutely no idea what the password is so I read a forum that told me to start system recovery by turning the device off, then pressing the volume + button and then the power button. I did this and got system recovery. I went down to Format System and then chose Reformat Device. After all of the formatting it says "USB Connection: Press OK to disconnect" so I do that and it says "Update failed: (1)." It then takes me back to the main recovery screen. I cannot get out of recovery even if i shut the device off. I don't know what to do. I connected it to my laptop with a double-ended USB cord and the laptop does not register any device. I am lost. Please help?

You need to download the latest firmware from http://www.archos.com for the A101IT (gen8) connect your device to the computer and place the firmware file on your device. Do not change the firmware filename and safely remove when disconnecting the usb cable.
