Hello my friend
Why؟:crying:
That is no way?:crying:
Install rooted 4.0.7 rom but I had no change in speed and performance
Even the media center and sys monitoring software are not altered and has the same problems.
Ram is not even completely remove and install a new ROM?
The reFormat does not have any effect

Hi again !
so, you are currently in what firmware ?
If you are already installed officialy Archos firmware 4.0.25 , you can not downgrade to officialy 4.0.7 !
...so, the only solution , if you want to use firmware 4.0.7 is to install root version !

Hi man
Thanks

You can try using a test firmware, it allowed me to downgrade from official ICS to official HC
1. Grab a test firmware from this thread (if the file is missng check other links in thread, there were 4 versions IIRC)
2. Flash it
3. Boot it
4. Flash 4.0.7 or whatever you want
I can't guarantee it will work but it is worth to give a shot
EDIT:
HERE is a working download link

Apparently 4.0.25 does not allow to flash older firmwares (including official SDE)

Reset to Factory
You can reset to Factory any version but it reformats internal sdcard too, make sure you backup before trying.
Boot Archos A80S Recovery -> Format System -> Reformat Device... -> I Understand
Takes a long time, be patient. Recovery comes up -> USB Connection: Press OK to disconnect
Copy firmware_archos_it4.aos to A80S_REC drive that pops up in Windows -> Update in progress...
Tablet will reboot, be patient again, takes a long time. I have done this several times, works on A80S should work on all G9s.

Hi !

I have not tried without SDE .... ( have not device for few weeks ) ! :good:

Odd, I have unofficial sde and have succeeded several times. What it does is completely format the tablet and I have gone back to 4.0.7 from 4.0.25 and once from 4.0.7 to Honeycomb. I forgot to remove external sdcard yesterday and formatted it also. Took a few hours to copy everything back.

After update Folio 100 to CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC0 I can't update to other ROMs, for example FolioMod1.4 because after the update to FOlioMod the screen is black.
Any ideas?
I have a bricked Folio because any changes that I made, for example, I select language to Spanish and change wallpaper and after one reboot, the wallpaper isn't the wallpaper I selected before and the language is again in English.
I can say that CyanogenMod bricked my Folio, I can't do anything with this.

I tried this with FolioMod 1.4 and had the same problem, but managed to solve it. I'm a newbie, but I will try to explain how it's done.
Since ClockworkMod is installed with CM7 (Gingerbread 7.1.0...),this will be the interface for factory data reset and system update.
In the CLockworkMod menu yo must select wipe data/factory reset before or after you apply a new update.zip (which also is done in the ClockworkMod interface)
Thanks for the reply lillknurra, but make wipe after and before update don't work for me.
This time, the first time that I booted FolioMod works correctly, but when reboot, I have a black screen again.
Any more ideas?

Hi,
If a WIPE doesn't help which it most likely should. You could try to "roll back" the Folio to original FolioStock according to instructions found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846199
I remember that I also read that there are some options to format some partitions, but I can not find it when searching...
I tried to roolback Toshiba Original ROM and works fine, but when I update to FolioMod 1.4 boots only the first time.
Now I'm triying to flash recovery image with fastboot metod before flash FolioMod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915894
In 10 minutes I know if it works.
EDIT:
Nothing, I will try all via fastboot mode and only works the first boot. When I do a fastboot flash boot boot.img I get a error:
failed to process command flash:boot error(0x30003)
In Spain is very late, tomorrow I'll try more options.
Hi, I have a folio 100 with cyagen 7 rom allready working, but when I try to install ClockworkMod recovery form ROM manager I have to choose from a list of devices and Toshiba folio 100 is not listed, probably we have to wait more or it's a my fault? thanks.

Please don't crosspost (at least in the same board). ROM Manager does not (still) work for Folio. Flash it from update.zip
O Sorry,ok thanks.
edit: resolved. From rom manager cannot reboot into recovery mode but if I manual recover folio 100 (volume up and power) than up than down than up instead enter in toshiba recovery mode now I have clockworkmod recovery. I used advent vega device in clockworkmod list devices.

Problem with CM9

Hey guys, so I downloaded cm9 and tried to install it on my phone.
I got it from this link and also followed the video tutorial there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500234
I had rooted my phone and had CWM recovery v5.0.2.6
Now when I try to reboot, there is just an blue screen.
I did exactly like in the video, I tried 2 times. Still it didn`t work. Please help. Could someone provide any step by step instructions other than the video?
Thanks.
I think you needed to use with CWM 5+
Try to get back into CWM and root your old ROM.
I am very bad at this... So I dont really know how to do that... could you provide any steps or an tutorial?
Edit:well I tried to format sd card and system but nothing. Could someone provide a link to gingerbread 2.3.5 and a way Icould put it on my phone? Also, could I do anything with samsung kies?

NO NO. Don't use kies. Kies sucks a lot. Search the developer forum for "clockworkmod 5" flash it normally (I suppose you already know how-to since you have CWM4) after getting CWM5, flash ICS/CM9 Normally. no need to flash GB
Here is cwm 5

Ughh I forgot to root my phone right after flashing. So I installed CWM before rooting.. how do I root now? And also I think it is still not working. The phone has been blue for about 2 minutes now. I followed the video exactly like it was.
EDIT: damn... so after getting the blue screen again I thought of going back to normal ver and maybe some other custom ROM... but guess what.... It doesnt work anymore... I did just like before.Went into download, used ODIN to download 2.3.5 french ver to my phone, odin says PASS. But last time It had booted correctly by 4:40 or so. This time like 10 minutes have passed and still rebooting. What to do now?
EDIT2: Am I allowed to make a new thread since the problem is not with cm9 anymore?
here, check this out:

download it and flash it through stock recovery
i dont think you need to root it before flashing this (i didnt)
i just flashed this over the stock rom (non rooted) and then flashed cm7.2
i too had such problems but dont worry flash some stock rom with odin then it wont boot so remove your battery and place it again.now go to stock recovery wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot.then use cwm 5 to flash cm 9.

Hello guys,
I've got an X10mini (E10) (second hand but should not branded)
I'm actually stucked in a bootloop. It happened after I tried flashing the miniCM7 ROM with CWM.
I've tried the wipe data/factory reset frome CWM but nothing happened
I've tried the recovery option from my previous backup
Nothing
I've tried reflashing the Stock Rom (found in one of Xda-developers thread)
And I still got a bootloop (with the Sony Ericson logo)
Could anyone help me? =)

Why don't you try a repair with SEUS or PC Companion, that will get you back to original.
You said you did wipe data/factory reset, but did you wipe cache and dalvick-cache too (second one in advanced menu in CWM), because they're filled with useless junk from your old ROM, causing many errors.

You don't have much choice i suppose, i'll give you the download link in a pm
Just download it, put it in the firmwares subfolder where flashtool is installed and flash it to your phone, it will take a while because it flashes everything (kernel and rom), but i hope it will help you

I saw your thread.
I also have an x10 Mini and got stuck in a bootloop (colors swishing around on screen). I rooted, installed xrecovery - what shows up in the screen is cwm recovery v 5,0,2,8. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed this Kernel using flash tool (an older version): U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14.ftf I tried to downloand nAa 11 but 14 kept coming up, so I put that in the firmware file along with the stock Kernel. I forgot to install the drivers, but the flash tool said it was successful. After disconnecting and starting the phone "Ana" words not the symbol came up and the boot loop began. Alternatively, on start up, I can get into cwm recovery. I didn't save the rom or google app zip on my sd card as I assumed I could that after flashing the Kernel, but the bootloop makes impossible
My goal is to install Android Fire 2.3.
I would really appreciate any guidance.

Connect your phone to your PC using the usb-cable
Boot into CWm (you say you can)
Go into Mounts and Storage
Choose USB-Mass storage
You should be able to access the sd-card from your pc now and copy the ROM and maybe Gapps.

Maybe you could pull all your files off the sd-card to your pc, boot into cwm and format the sd-card (in mounts and storage), then reboot into the rom.
If that's all successful, put the files back on your sd-card.

What would happen if I select "apply update from sd card". This is the second option under CWM recovery.
Should I restore from Nanadroid. i s this necessary?
Could partitioning the sd card help? Thanks again!

The 'Apply Update.zip' does exactly the same thing as the 'Install zip from sd-card', but the first option only works for zip-files named 'update.zip' in the root of your sd-card, the second option will let you browse the sd-card and select a zip-file with any name. The second option is the one you use to install your ROM.
Restoring from nandroid, just fills your internal phone-memory with the old stuff you had in there, it won't affect your sd-card, other than that it reads the nandroid from that sd-card.
Your sd-card needs to be formatted with the fat-filesystem to work properly, so partitioning or not makes not much of a difference, only that the available space for your stuff (music, photo's, etc.) is less because the other partitions take up space too.
If you can flash your ROM in CWM from sd-card I don't really see any problem with your sd-card.
worked like a charm. many thanks!

I saw your thread.
I also have an x10 Mini and got stuck in a bootloop (colors swishing around on screen). I rooted, installed xrecovery - what shows up in the screen is cwm recovery v 5,0,2,8. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed this Kernel using flash tool (an older version): U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14.ftf I tried to downloand nAa 11 but 14 kept coming up, so I put that in the firmware file along with the stock Kernel. I forgot to install the drivers, but the flash tool said it was successful. After disconnecting and starting the phone "Ana" words not the symbol came up and the boot loop began. Alternatively, on start up, I can get into cwm recovery. I didn't save the rom or google app zip on my sd card as I assumed I could that after flashing the Kernel, but the bootloop makes impossible
My goal is to install Android Fire 2.3.
I would really appreciate any guidance.

help I bricked my 80 G9

I tried to fix It going back to the official firmware but when I press "Update Firmware" I got "Error Code 207", I don't know what to do I tried several times with no result.

Go to recovery->Plug device to PC by USB-> Format System-> Reformat. After that tablet mount recovery disc on PC and You must put *.aos file to this disc. After flash, tablet will start load new FW.

You have to use the same version firmware (or newer) that you had installed, older version won't install.

The only solution mate is the one that IAmNice told you. Flash stock rom and then try installing again cm.
IAmNice said:
Can you go into flashmode? If you can use flashtool to flash a stock ROM and then flash fxp 226..

You cam access fastboot mode this way:
turn off the phone
Plug usb cable on pc
Press volume up key while plugging usb on your phone. You will see that the led bar becomes blue.
Done
