[Q] Angstrom for archos 80 g9 - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I've successfully rooted with the official SDE and this tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653566 .
I would like to try out the Angstrom dist. but can't seem to find a download anywhere and the online builder at http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/ doesn't have the device.
is there anywhere I can get it or build it (keep in mind that I'm just a noob)?
Thanks,
karl

search for Archos Gen8 ?

Thanks, I found the g8 files on open aos dot org/wp-upload/gen8/2012-04-09/
But the cpio file is a gz file, but the official sde boot menu looks for a .lzo.
I think thats a difference between froyo and ics. I tried renaming as was suggested on another forum but it just booted to a black screen.
I be a bit more patient for now

[Q] ICS Root on OMAP 4460

Hi,
sorry I would post to the development post but I cant because iam to new in the forum.
I have an Archos 101 G9 Turbo (SN 502057) with an OMAP 4460.
Every time I try to flash to ICS rooted rom or the custom blue rom with the drive405 files the device doesnt load.
Then i load the drive files from:
pocketpc.ch/archos-android-tablets/156565-root-fuer-archos-g9-android-4-ics
The device loads with this files but with a sum of memory of 371MB against 229GB.
Does the drive405 files run on the OMAP4460?
I hope anyone can help me or I had helped you with this info.
stay cool
best regards
tobst
Have you use another method?

surdu_petru has helped:
store/upload the ext4 file zo /mnt/storage/
If the device is depending after flashing use zImage and initramfs from:

Thanks a million chrulri ! and btw congrats for the work you provide to keep our device on track !
Unfortunatly no way to downgrade ... it works well with 2.x (Froyo) firmware but not 1.x . (error 221)
And i doubt someone will try to make it possible as the tendences is more on giva access of higher OSes ... not lower ones !
It doesn't even work after full reformat?
Nope ... full format, install angstrom and then finally try reformat and install eclair ... error 221
Well then it's kinda hopeless on the easy road.
But you still could go the hardcore road and extract the squashfs root filesystem, the kernel and the initramfs from the .aos file and use the SDE to install them if you really really want Eclair to run on your device :silly:
Beg you pardon ?
OK ... a quick look on google shows that even extracty an aos is complicated (both tools didnot extract the same thing)
I will first weight if i can give enough time to go the hard way for maybe a poor result and then try to not brick my device ...
Thanks again chrulri ! and keep going you do it the right way !
OK i got a cooked .tgz file that contained squasfs-root folder. ... now i guess the zImage file i need is the one in raw folder named init-zImage .... i don't know where i can find/build initramfs.
I'm a rookie so if someone could drive me a bit on how to build files to make it bootable with a multiboot (kboot seems to be the best option as it can use different iniramfs and Zimage for each Oses)

[Q] Kocaso M1050S compatibility pack for CM10

Hello community!
I'm looking for help to build a Kocaso M1050S compatibility pack for CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821398).
It should be a recovery based zip mod, but I'm not sure how to build it.
I've downloaded an original firmware from here: dl [dot] dropbox [dot] com/u/22474333/Kocaso_M1050S_Softwinners_Crane-bc1003_ICS_4.0.4_ENG_Build_%2318_Firmware.img and works just fine. Now I'm looking a way of running Christian Troy CM10 port on it. The port works itself, but the touchscreen doesn't responds at all. So seems like I need to apply a correct drivers there. I've unpacked original firmware and included all required files from it (script.fex, complete modules and etc directory, idc and icu, /lib/hw). I guess that is enough to build the patch for it. Here is the smaller archive for these files, so you don't have to download the complete firmware: www [dot] multiupload [dot] nl/A4WUIS15D3
Could somebody please help to build a recovery patch from these files?
EDIT: Oh, and here is the init.sun4i.rc from firmware: pastebin [dot] com/qNguiS75
Couldn't find much on this tablet. I would also like to do the same as you. My wife won this tablet at an arcade and think it would be a pretty decent unit if it didn't run so slow. Did you manage to find anything out? I'm going to look around myself. I've been doing AOKP builds, I might sync up Troys and mess around with it this week.
No info still. I don't have an experience in building the compatibility patches. But it should be doable with files I've provided and someone who can do it.

Kocaso M1050S the .img link is broken. I will be grateful if you able to provide me with correct one. and another question: how did you install CWM recovery. thx in advance.
Same here, haven't had time to try and mess with it. I'm going to download a pack and see whats done in there. I'm going to switch into Ubuntu in a few and try and sync with CT's git as well.
I installed CWM 6.0.1.2 using this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802268
It seems to work so far. It reads my SD card and I was able to perform a backup. I've done nothing else at all with it yet so i'm not sure if it's really working properly but so far my device is still working fine.

Also I got the files you are looking for from another site.
Google this exactly :
MID_M1050s(chinese) bricked at android screen
As i'm unsure if outside links are ok here. It should be the first result. It's posted further down the thread.
Right, here is the new download link for firmware: docs.google.com/folder/d/0B_88d7OJP9HPWWEwejlSQkQ0X2s/edit
I'm still looking for CM10 mod...

Thank you! But this firmware stops at 3 percent of flashing.
I finally found a working version and http://www.irexsoft.com/M1050_bc1003.img
I think that we can take device drivers from it for CM10)

Does anybody have the Android 3.1 Honeycomb update for Logitech Revue?

Hello, does anybody have the file from this page mirrored anywhere? It's the Android 3.1 Honeycomb update files for the Logitech Revue. I have been looking all over but keep finding dead links. The Internet Archive has snapshots of it but I can't get past where Load2All asks for a verification code. Does anyone have a copy of this file or is there a mirror still up anywhere? Thanks in advance.
