I bought my mother an Archos 101 internet tablet (Gen8) for Christmas. I got the product used. She has been using it ever since with no problems. When I went to visit her today she stated that it hasn't been working for a month and just boots over and over.
My thought was to enter recovery, reinstall the firmware and be on my merry way so that she could go back to browsing the web and reading books.
And that's where the problems start (like the boot loop wasn't a big enough problem). Every time enter the recovery > Update Firmware > and copy the .aos file to the drive, when I press power to update it says "Update Failed (1)". I have tried both the normal firmware and the SDE firmware. Both give the same error.
The only post I could find out of a google search the resembled the same problem I am having was that someone posted and said that they had a issue with the internal member and had to send the tablet back to Archos for replacement.
Unfortunately, since I bought the product used, I do not have that option.
Has anyone else had this problem before and able to fix it?
I would also like to mention that I have also reformatted the device (through recovery) and tried to repair. All give the same results. One thing that I did notice is that when I transfer the "firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos" file to the drive, whenever I remount the system, it is no longer there and I have to copy it from the PC to the internal memory every time.
Why dont you just try to reset android from the recovery? You can also format the device and apply the firmware but make sure you paste it with it's proper name without (1) at the end. It can be caused by corrupted download or different name instead the name it has to be else it wont work.
Also, make sure you haven't downloaded the FW file for the A70b by mistake...
I once did that mistake while recovering mine from a bad flash.
Also, before reflashing, I would do a full format from the recovery menu. That will wipe all data from it before reflashing the firmware.

This was actually the first thing I tried to do, I guess I didn't mention that in the OP. The flashing the FW was going to be a last resort type thing.

I'm pretty sure I downloaded the correct FW. It was the one labeled on the Archos website as "Download Archos 28/32/35/43/70/101 internet tablet - Archos 35 home connect/smart home phone OS v 2.4.83 (91861Kb)"
I did do the full format from the recovery menu before flashing. As I boot into recovery I went to Format System > Reformat Device... > I understand. I assume this is what you are talking about.
P.S. I appreciate the feedback and help. All other thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

That's the right FW, and you used the good format option in recovery. I guess you also tried redownloading the file again, just in case the copy you had was somehow corrupted?
Outside of that, I could only think of a bad flash memory block on the device... I hope it's not your case.

I have a funny feeling that it is going to be the memory block. Gives me a good excuse to open up the device to tinker with it I .

Hey guys I have been trolling this forum for some very useful information, and it has helped me quite a bit, but on this one I am stuck. Every time I try and delete something on this phone (Samsung Vibrant) it just comes back. This was not my phone before, I am just trying to put it back to stock.
I have flashed the phone 3 times using odin, including using the re-partition option.
When I hook the phone up to the pc, and load update.zip into the root folder, and reboot into recovery mode, it says cannot find sd card/update.zip. Even when I go in and manually delete apps if I reboot the phone, they all just come back.
Am I missing something? part of me wants to say its something easy.. but I have searched and searched about this and found nothing. Is there a mod out there that does this? -Thanks
*edit* Oh, and it seems like any time I think I might get close, I get the little android and the triange w/ the exclamation point.
Bueller?
How are you deleting? What are you deleting? Why are you using odin to delete apps? Not enough info to help you.
Hi, I am just trying to totally wipe the phone back to stock, hence odin. I dont care about info being lost. But like I said.. if I go in and manage applications, and remove them manually, I restart the phone and like magic they are all back.. I am quite confused. I hook the phone up to the pc, open the phone and manually delete pics and songs that way.. unplug the phone from the pc, and its like i never did anything.

If you want to wipe the best thing to do is flash Eugene's Froyo that does not brick. That will get rid of EVERYTHING. From there flash JFD. That will give you the clean start you want.

Yeah, that is the problem. I already did that, and the stuff is still there. I did it 3 times. I flashed it with the 512 pit, did a re-partition and the JFD. Then went back and even updated it to the JI6 firmware, and loaded it with the stock kernel.
I'll help you out before you needlessly flash roms over and over and over.
Before you say, "WTF!!!! That doesn't answer my question" please read to the end.
1. As I understand your problem, you want to wide everything from your INTERNAL SD Card.
2. as such, The steps are as follows:
3. Go to settings.
4. Go to "SD Card and phone storage"
5. "Unmount phone storage"
6. "Format phone storage"
This is assuming that you are ALREADY on stock Rom.
If not, flash the stock first, then wipe your internal SD.
Remove your External SD and SIM card. *(Not required), but i'm paranoid, and this always helps me feel better on the off chance that something does happen while i'm wiping the internal SD.

That was first thing I tried to do, sorry I didnt post that in OP. I tried to unmount and format using the in phone software. I have tried a hard reset using the button combinations on the phone. I have also done a factory format using the service code. All to no avail.
Thanks for the input.. believe me, if I could have avoided the time and hassle of reading about odin I would have. Odin was a last resort.
I dont know if this is helpful or not but after I format the internal sd.
Total Space: 13.18 GB
Free Space 12.31 GB
I am really beginning to think that the internal SD is broken/corrupted or something. As I said in the OP when I boot into recovery, it says it cannot find sdcard/update.zip. Furthermore, if I mount the usb as mass storage, and go into the folders and delete pictures/whatnot. Even if I unplug the phone from the computer, its as if I never did anything. The pictures will all still be there as if nothing happened. If I go in and manage apps, and remove them all one by one, then reboot the phone all the apps are there. These are all reasons why I think the internal storage is messed up.
I was/am quite confused. This is why I requested ideas from people smarter than me.. i.e you guys . Thanks for all the input this far, my OP was a little lacking I suppose.
Did you ever get problem resolved?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
@jorsh :
I had the same problem with u. Can't delete few old files that stored in the internal SD. Also, I can't use update.zip in the recovery mode. It says "cannot find sdcard/update.zip.
My phone also can't play MP3 file or 3GP file that transfered from other phone / PC.
Anyone can help us ?
How are you deleting the files?
What are you running?
the update.zip, are you guys talking about rooting, or clockwork recovery?
Sorry, thanksgiving was preventing me from following the thread. The problem is still unresolved. I was trying the update.zip in recovery mode, as far as I know there is no clockwork on the phone. I thought the update.zip was just a recovery image that the phone used as a basis for restoring the phone.

I have tried deleting files a few different ways.
Odin, directly via pc with usb mount, and using the software on the phone itself, and tried using factory formats/resets hard and soft.
What do you mean by what am I running?
i just buy a used vibrant. There are some photos & files in the internal memory. I can erase it with file manager, but when I restart the phone, those photos & files appear again.
Same thing with with the gmail account. This gmail account is sign up by previous user. I can't remove this account.
I already try using "factory reset", but it's useless. Those photos & gmail account still in my phone.
I'm running in 2.1 T959UVJI2
about the update.zip, I'm using for rooting. I can't root the phone too. I'm using the file "SGH-959 Root Update.zip" then rename it to "update.zip"
I put this update.zip that the root folder of my internal SD. Bad thing is, this file is gone when I restart my phone (turn off then turn on). So, when I goes to recovery mode, it always said : cannot find sd card/update.zip
anybody can help me ? pleaseeee. So frustated >.<
Yeah that sounds pretty much exactly like my problems.
Perhaps people are having a hard time helping because we cant determine what you are trying to do....
first, yes, there is a clockwork recovery... download rom manager from the market.
there are going to be folders on the internal memory you can not remove because the OS puts them there.
could you please say exactly what you want to do???
I am just trying to delete everything and basically restore the phone back to factory. But it seems like the normal ways of doing that are not working.
Use ODIN to go to stock ji6 or jk2. I have a guide in my signature
Once you reboot mount the internal memory and format it. Settings > sd card and phone storage

can someone help with this?
1. tried format (volume up + power)
2. tried full initialization

If you did the 'firmware_archos_android_gen8_2.0.54.aos' format/reset correctly and its still like that, then you'll need to get a new device.

If they're swapping out the NVRAM(not sure exactly what the sys mem is), ask them how much to put in 512mb instead of 256mb .
you should really have around 130+ available after formatting everything. bummer. I assume you ran all the options from the repair menu, etc.

I did try all the options in the repair menu. nothing helped.
was working fine in 2.1 at the beginning. then it started crashing ...
I kind of wish things just work. spent a lot of time to get this to work. when it works, it's everything that i need. but... kind of frustrated now.
Have you tried downloading the file from another computer (really, just making sure you're not using a corrupt .aos file)?
If the firmware you are flashing is not corrupt, causing an issue with the storage it can see, then your device needs to be sent back and repaired.
So I've got a wifi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" and I have gone through the rooting guide. The guide includes ClockworkMod (CWM) v4.0.0.4, which for the most part, works just fine. I'm able to flash custom ROMs, make backups, and restore backups.
I'm having a problem mounting USB storage from CWM however. I go to the "Mounts and Storage Menu" and then select "mount USB storage." When I do this, I get a message saying:
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
Any ideas what this means, and how to fix it? Is anyone else able to mount USB storage from their CWM recovery image?
Anyone can correct me if I'm mistaken...but I believe the reason we see this error is because the Tab is not like phones and the internal storage works differently, there is no sd card so it has nothing to mount. I believe it works more like a hard drive. (MTP is different although I know nothing about it) so CWM produces this error but it is nothing to worry about.
More knowledgeable persons please expound on this, I would like to know more too...
Appreciate the insight -- I hope someone else can expand. To expound on that though, how do you transfer a ROM to the SDcard if you wipe /data and don't already have a ROM available on the SDcard?
I'm worried that I'll accidentally wipe data & cache, but will forget to double-check that I have a ROM on the SDcard partition.
Not to worry, wipe data/factory reset in CWM does nothing to the sd card partition everything will still be there including the ROM file you transferred over.
However factory reset from stock recovery DOES wipe sd card data. So back up your stuff if you do this.
Oh and always make a backup in CWM so you have something to flash in case things get crazy
I'm just trying to plan for a worst case scenario -- let's say all the storage volumes are completely wiped, and all you can do is boot into CWM. On my T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z / Vision), you can mount USB storage, copy over a ROM, and install it.
Looking for some sort of equivalent ability on the Galaxy Tab.
Hmm, let me boot into CWM and see if the computer still can read the tabs storage if I plug it in from there...
Also there is always an ODIN flash.
Nope no dice, i suppose if you were in that scenario ODIN would be your option. I'm not sure if there is an ODIN flashable of stock 3.1, I know there is a .zip i always keep it for emergencies.
Sorry I miss read, there is no ODIN flash.
Would the worst scenario is when you don't even have CWM on the tab?
ODIN flash would probably be your last resort. I am wondering if anyone has run into the worst scenario and got the tab back to the factory stock ROM.
your are right FilltheVoid. if things go completely wrong and you have no backup or rom to flash. Odin will be your savior. You can flash stock roms with Odin bro.

Hey Task, do you know where I can find a stock ROM for pt7510 that is ODIN flashable? Ya know, just in case.
Well anywho, I think the point of this is, If you read and follow directions carefully, make backups, and read some more, you will not ever be in this scenario. And there are good, knowledgeable people in this forum that are willing to help you in a bind.

Even though the question is to Task, i will answer it with whatever i know.
1. http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/hc_31/ - But i read somewhere that this is the ODIN flashable stock of I/O tab
2. ROM | 001002-P7510_KME_Restock.zip - ODIN flashable Stock UEKME ROM
Or you could do:
Boot cwm, then
adb shell
mount /data
mkdir /data/media
adb push stock.zip /data/media/
and flash with cwm
Voila !!!
thank you!
you just saved my tablet! thank you.
i managed to brick my tablet (or so i thought) by an interesting combination of things.
first, i installed Alegro graphing calculator. then, i encrypted my tablet. then, i tried to backup my apps, using titanium backup, and whenever it got to alegro, it crashed superuser, market, myapps, googleapps, calendar, acore...a ton of stuff. so i told titanium to ignore it and backup everyything else, and then i went to the market to try to uninstall. no dice..it force closed everything again. so i went to the settings and tried to factory reset. i went through the steps three times, and nothing happened...the tablet rebooted and was the same as i left it.
so as a last resort i went into clockwork and wiped data and cache. tried to boot, and it was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen.
rebooted..same...waiting hours...same.
i could still boot to odin and recovery, but i didn't have a zip on my tablet, so i couldn't flash anything. i never thought of using adb to push the zip! but this worked perfectly! (after installing the drivers again on my computer).
thank you thank you thank you!

Hey 2 questions about the restock ROM:
1) Can it be flashed over In Paris V5?
2) Can it be flashed with CWM?
Update: answered this myself: Yes it can be flashed over in Paris, and no, it has to be flashed with Odin.
I still have a question though: This is not CWM, but is it the stock recovery or do I need to flash that too? Sending the tab in for service (newton's rings)....
This is what I was looking for. I have a slow internet connection, and Clockwork was still working, but nothing else was. Flashed Task's ROM v8... it's looking good so far... You rock, dude.
This worked for me this afternoon! Was stuck in a constant reboot after thinking that the samsung update would be a good thing. Gave thanks!!! Ordered the 30 pin adapter and now dont even need it. Will come in handy though I am sure.

This maybe complete rubbish, but I can report a similar issue with the Galaxy S2.
When I install a new ROM, I usually do this:
1/ factory reset
2/ wipe cache
3/ wipe dalvik
4/ Mount ALL the folders, then format each one
When I do this and try to mount USB storage, it says the same error message.
If you then fire up ODIN and push another kernel to the phone, everything works fine. I know its something I am doing wrong, but no idea what!
For you, the solution is to use odin to push another kernel across.

Hi There
Such a great program is the Nabilab thank you!
Ive tried to serach the forums but am getting burried under so much info that I dont all fully understand, please forgive my ignorance. Im also not even sure if I am posting in the right place (trying to do this at work when boss isnt looking which is hard).
I have a backup and restore question please related to UK version of the nabi2.
I downloaded the full version of the nabilab tools software including the stock condition to my PC. I then ran the full installation (option 1) and all worked brilliantly (little trouble with the drivers but solved).
But now, 4 weeks later, the nabi has lost wifi which I understand from reading is an issue with OTA (which I didnt know about and hadnt realised was turned on).
So from what I can tell, I need to basically blank the nabi2 and then restore it. But I have just had the thought, is the stockbackup file within my internal SD card actually a backup of my own system created when I ran the tools setup/installation (which I think is the case), or is it a copy of the downloaded stockbackup that came with the nabilab tools and was automatically copied across during the tools installation?
The reason for asking is that I just thought, that because my Nabi2 is a UK version (I did update the OS as instructed before running all the nabilab tools installation) then if the stockbackup is from the downloaded pack, and thus not UK, then trying to restore that might cause me problems with the UK version and maybe the uk nabistore??
Would I be better going into Nabi parent-mode and using the option in the settings to reset to factory defaults (will this work to restore nabi to earlier version?) or am I ok to use the stockbackup that is sitting on my internal sd card?
Should I use twrp to "wipe" first before trying any backup or should I just run restore?
Do I use the nabilabs menu to try and do the restore or should I go into TWRP to do the restore?
Id really really appreciate any help please as Im very new at all this and not very knowledgable. The Nabi2 is my sons. He is 4 and has autism and doesnt have any communication or language so doesnt understand that his Nabi ran out of storage space thus I used the root to be able to use an app swapping internal-external sd cards for more space. His Nabi means everything to him and its starting to look like it will help his communication, he doesnt understand why parts of it are now not working which leads to huge upsetments (really huge) and we cant explain to him that it will be fixed soon, and so im desperate to fix it as quick as I can.
Please any help would be wonderful.
many thanks for even taking the time to read my post.

If you look in the TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserial/ folder the folder called "stockunrooted" should be your Nabi's backup. A folder called "abcdstock123" is the stock backup the Nabilab would create, but it will only create this if you ran the restore "Nabi to stock" from Nabilab. Honestly before you do anything else, if you find the folder stockunrooted COPY THAT TO YOUR COMPUTER. I can't stress that enough, we don't have near as many UK owners here. If something goes wrong we have plenty of north american versions the users here can get for you, but not many if any UK ones.

I would definitely try and restore your stock backup if you have one. I have no facts on this matter but the UK store could react negatively to something such as your build.prop being different. Also there might be a difference in WiFi configuration as I think there are some differences between power in channels 12 and 13 outside North America. I would avoid restoring the Nabilab one unless it was a last resort. If you don't have your stockunrooted, someone out there likely has a UK backup. We would be better off seeking them out and seeing if they would upload you one.

-Either a factory reset, or restoring the stock backup of your Nabi(not the stock from Nabilab) should work. A factory reset won't revert you to an older Nabi revision it will simply wipe everything from the tablet, and leave you on whatever version you are currently on. The restoring of your backed up version will more or less result in the same since you upgraded before backing up. However the major difference will be your backup will have the Nabi setup done, where a factory reset will erase it. Also it will WIPE your stockunrooted backup that I talked about at the beginning, we don't want that without you copying it to your computer first. So you skip the step of setting up parent mode, and your wireless password would likely be there so you would save yourself 2 minutes.
-If you restore your stock backup of your tablet, and restore boot, system, and data there would be no reason to wipe first. Although out of habit I always clear cache and dalvik cache anyway, even though it gets wiped by the restore. No need to clear system as TWRP will format that partition before restore anyway.
-Go into TWRP. Select restore tab. Find folder called stockunrooted and select. Restore all. Boot, system, data check. I assume you have gotten into TWRP fine but just in case: From powered off, press and hold both vol+ and power, then select recovery kernel.
-Or you could just do a factory reset. The differences I highlighted above.
-Either option will break root, and gapps. To get them back use options 3 and 4, instead of 1 like you did last time in Nabilab. Gapps only, Root only, since you would already have stockunrooted no need to make a second one.
Thank you so much for your reply the info is invaluable.
Sorry for spelling your name wrong.
Sorry also for posting this in the wrong place (as I have since found from browsing)
Thanks again for the help.
Ill backup the stock to my pc, then will try using twrp to resotre that backup and then use the nabilab again to root. Then I guess its simply logging into the nabi and google store to download any missing apps.
Thanks you so much
Alex
PANIC
Oh no ive gone to the folder on my nabi through the usb cable and the stockunrooted folder appears to be empty.
I did choose option one when I did the nabitools so I just dont understand why theres nothing there.
When I looked into twrp last night it seemed to think there was a backup there for stockunrooted so I dont know if its dissapeared or whether it was never there in the first place.
PANIC
As there is not supposed to be many UK nabi backups out there (and im time limited due to my son relying on the tablet) am I now only left with the factory defalt reset? (not quite sure how to do that really)
I know I cant use the one in the nabilab because that is USA version.
Please help

I would go into TWRP. Then in the advanced section use the file manager. Navigate to /data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/serial/stockunrooted and then see if it is blank or if there are files in it. boot.wim boot.wim.md5, etc etc
If it's gone then it will have to be a factory reset.

I would go into TWRP. Then in the advanced section use the file manager. Navigate to /data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/serial/stockunrooted and then see if it is blank or if there are files in it. boot.wim boot.wim.md5, etc etc

Hi
Did that, folder empty and no files in it.
Have done a factory reset and YAY all good.
Have re-signed in to nabi account, have redone the root using nabilab, have then installed the ext-to-int sd card app and the big card is now in memory.
So now its just a case of sitting back and slowly reinstalling all the apps from the nabi store and then the google store. Once all thats done ill then go into TWRP and do me a proper full backup.
Phew!
Thank you so much for your help it has been invaluable. My deepest gratitude!
Thank you!

UK Nabi 2 Rom
Hello All, I`m looking for a UK version of the 1.9.37 rom after wiping my daughters Nabi, forgetting to make a backup way back when i was rooting it last year. I`ve tried the stock version but when it tries to do the second of the two part ota i get the dead robot and Nabilab doesn`t see it when connected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know this has been posted before but I am still having trouble. I have a nook tablet rooted and with android using cyanogenmod. I would look to remove it all and go back to the nook factory settings. I have tried the 8 reboot method and it doesnt work. It just boots me to cwm based recovery. doing a factory reset there just resets me back to android again. ia slo tried installing the acclaim update and it wouldnt work either. maybe i need a new micro sd card. please help!
Try the windows instructions from here:

You'll need a spare SD card and the free disk imager that you get from a link in A dam's post. After booting, it sometimes was a couple tries for me to get it to fully "take", but it did reset my Nook back to 100% unrooted factory on very 1.4.0. Be aware this is a FULL wipe & reset, so you lose everything. Good luck.

The "8 failed reboots" method only works if your NT still has stock recovery (typically the case when the NT running rooted stock ROM or just plain stock ROM). Your NT instead has CWM recovery (which most likely was installed when CM was flashed), hence the "8 failed reboots" method will not work.
I'd suggest you consider using the repart.img tool http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/, or the tools in Succulent's repo https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard.
Most importantly, be wary of using any method/tool that reformat partitions other than /system, /data, and /cache (especially /factory and /romdata) without first backing the content of the partion to be reformatted -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31.
I am having a little trouble with this. I need to download the factory recovery zip file. All the links take me to a place where I need to put in my credit card number. it says it wont charge me, but I don't have a credit card to put in. One other place said I need to download a different file in order to download this file, not sure if that sounds right and it makes me nervous. Where can I get this zip file safely??

On the referenced page http://d-h.st/5vJ for bn_142_factory_recovery.zip, click on the second/middle "download" box and you should get a "save as" pop up menu for the file in question.
