Alright so I've had my Archos 80 G9 for few years now. Only a year ago did I first venture to XDA to install custom ROMS/root on my tablet. I've been using a ICS variant with the ability to overclock the tablet due to freezes when playing minecraft. I finally installed a CM10 ROM, Quinny's to be exact. The deal is whenever my tablet boots I always get the multi-boot menu. The options are Stock Android, ext4 xxxx, and Clear Cache xxxx. By choosing ext4 I can get into the CM10, but what I want to know is what is the Stock Android option.
Is that the stock android that came with the tablet? If it is is there anyway to get rid of that stock android so I can just use CM10 as the default firmware? Thank You.
.:edit:.
Well being a curious dumb A$$ I tried deleting the ext4 and see if it would boot up. It didn't and now I'm stuck at the Multi-Boot menu. Any help?
.:edit:.
I think I'm just going to reformat to the default Archos Firmware and just change to CM10 all over again.

Hi guys,
I just got G tablet and I am not realy happy with it (unable to watch youtube,can't install regular market etc), and since you guys are trusted I wanted to ask: Should I keep this tablet? I want to hear your option before I attempt to root it (wont be able to return then). Bottom line is, I was hoping to have something simular like my EVO but with bigger screen
f you think this is a keeper, please point me to some nice rom and if you have advice I would be happy to hear them.
As always, thank you XDA community
Try one of the froyo roms which includes full market. Download tegrazone from market and check out the thd games especially shadowgun! The devs are close to completing a honeycomb kernel which will give us full use of honeycomb. Give it a try you can always switch back to your original rom.
If your ok with the hardware and are just looking for a better ROM, then by all means keep the gTab. Stock on this device is unusable and a waste of time. You can always return the tablet after installing a custom rom. Just NVflash back to stock and your good to go.
Flashback is great for Honeycomb, but for pure speed and stability I would go with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573
Installed ROM manager recovery and CyanogenMod 7 (which I don't like), but I am looking for something else. Tried to flash couple other rom's but get stuck at boot screen. As far I know it I am running 1.1 (no lock screen) and mentioned (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573) is for 1.2, right ?
So far I tried to run:
G_Harmonyv1.2
and some Vegan roms but no luck...
I do have backup of my stock rom.

DONT USE ROM MANAGER. Only use nvflash, the original bootloader, or clockwork mod boot
loader. It would be wise to upgrade to 1.2 bootloader. You will not have hardware acceleration With a gingerbread or honeycomb roms. Just my opinion but I would try mountain laurel or brilliant colors and try the thd games.
I don't use ROM manager it just get installed with recovery. Finaly Vegan-Tab on it. Thankls guys, I will considered upgrade to 1.2
Ive got a few question about going to cm10. i think im running cm7 but dont have it with me to know exactly what version. I would like to partition the 1gb "other storage" to 8gb or so, and would like to upgrade to cm10.
1. do i need to partition first or upgrade to cm10 first. would think partition since its going to wipe data.
2. does anyone have a video on installing cm10, if not a good walk thru on the install
3. when i rooted last time it didnt like my win7 and had to use a windows xp computer is this still an issue
4. CM10 "Jelly Bean" for Nook Tablet Alpha 0.07.1 Release does this oc to 1.2 and does it have the 5 point touch?
thanks for any help

Doesn't matter which you do first.

There should be videos or step by step walkthroughs in the threads. If you could install CM7, you can install CM10 (you just need to upgrade your existing recovery)

If you're already rooted, you don't need to re-root. Actually, if you have a custom recovery installed (you do if you have CM7 installed) you don't really need to root first at all, as the CM ROM file has all of the root tools built in already.
4. CM10 "Jelly Bean" for Nook Tablet Alpha 0.07.1 Release does this oc to 1.2 and does it have the 5 point touch?

Not sure if it has the OC, but I'm pretty sure it has the 5 point ability. You still have to upgrade your touch firmware to the 5 touch, though; and doing so will prevent you from going back to stock, or even CM7 (I believe).
thanks
thanks m8
need more help
so i get to the cyanoboot screen and start fastboot on nook then in my command promt i type the fast boot part in and i get "waiting on device". on my device manager page my nook is coming up as "acclaim". any help would be great so my wife doesn't hurt me
new update
ok went with this [ROM] [WIP] CM10 PURE AOSP 4.1.2 JBV02-Hashcode Buildbot Says Hi! i think my problem was my version of cwm was around 5.0 upgraded to 6. something ans installed without a problem. little problems with sd card unmounting and going into deep sleep, side note seems like it downloads slower from playstore not positive on that yet. looks nice though.
If you're going to upgrade to ICS or JB, you'll need to flash an updated recovery. TWRP and CWM (EMMC and SD versions) are listed in the SGT7 CM10 thread.
Maybe you can help me.
I got my gTablet back from warranty work with a 1.2 bootloader and - of course - Tap n Tap. Time to ROM this thing!
Here's my process:
I use the Team DRH NVFlash and, in Clockwork, format data, cache, Dalvik and System. THEN I do a factory reset. Not a bit left hanging anywhere in the machine. Partition the internal memory to either 2048/0 or 4096/0 depending on the ROM. I then mount the gTablet and copy a ROM over to it. Unmount, install ROM, reboot system.
Without fail, it starts at the boot screen, flashes dark for an instant once, and just stays on the boot screen forever.
I can turn it off and access both Recovery and APX modes.
So I go back into APX mode, NVFlash again, and start the whole process over with a different ROM.
I have started at Jelly Bean ROMs (I think I tried them all) and am down to ICS ROMs now. So far, nothing but bootloop.
Can anyone here shine some light on what I'm doing wrong? What am I missing here? What do I need to do to breathe new life into this pathetically outdated device? I know I'm a little rusty on the gTablet, but for the life of me I have no idea what I'm missing.
THANK YOU!
Never mind, finally got it:
I started with JB ROMs, then ICS ROMs, then it finally settled into a HC ROM that it likes :good:
I suppose each gTablet is different: yours runs JB, mine won't. Oh well, tablet's up & running!
Hello. I also had the three birds problem and could only load up to Honeycomb until I found a post referencing the link for this ROM and the three birds:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25894973
If you load version G-Harmony 1.5 dpi 160 you will have ICS.

It's a kernel issue with the newer 2.6.39 kernels. See if the steps in this post help you install other ROMs.
Title says it, im a real noob but i did manage to root and install cm7, my questions are this
Is there a build that has HD video? ( hulu plus)
When i play music ( mp3s from sdcard) i get random sd card dismounts with the built in player and/or winamp
When i power down and restart i MUST(?) Hit the "n" button or i get a load error
For the most part i have figured out this thing ( came from ios ) just wondering if i
Should have put a different build on or if im just not doin it right
CM 7 is outdated. Install CM10 or CM10.1 instead.
There are several thread on how to. I happen to have my own at hand, but I'm in no way saying it's the best!

The ROM you find in the development section
Ok should i run the backup i made i revert to stock before i install 10?
I was reading some other site and it said 10 was not stable, thats what i getfor not comming here first i guess
CM10 is very stable. Can't speak for CM10. but according to comments I've seen here it's pretty stable too. I just happen to prefer CM10 to the 10.1 I have tried.
You do not need to revert to stoch before installing CM10.
Make sure you get the right version of CWN running before flashing CM10. (Version 6.x.x)

thank you for your help btw...( should have said this on my first reply )
im am very happy to get some help ( thought i could figure it out on my own....NOT )
should i be worried about the error i currently get on boot-up
on the cynoboot screen it says
E1 <---on top left corner
loading Altboot from emmc
normal SD boot overridden. Alt boot from EMMC
booti: bad boot image magic ( in memory)
only way to get past this is to reboot and make sure to press "n" to bring up the menu and choose
internal eMMc normal
and at this stage a E2 is in the top left corner...but if i choose this all will boot and work fine...
is this something im supposed to do on boot-up? or is there a error i should be worried about before
i nuke CM7 and go for CM10?
Hi all
ok so i'm a bit nervous writing this expecting all manner of attack in that i may be posting something that's been posted before lol, i've been working on this phone from start to finish about 9 hours, over two days..... i've googled just about every combination of words to do with the title and everything in between but nothing seems to come close to what i actually need to do as nothing works
i have an LG Optimus 2x / p990, it had ICS on it but was far too slow to handle this, it needs something a bit less hardware intensive to run smoothly, so i went ahead an found cyanogenmod stable ...... 7.2 i installed sdk after an hour of finding out how it works i finally got adb and fastboot working, i then needed this, that, this, that, etc etc etc.....
to cut a 9 hour story short, i've managed to get myself to the point where i wiped the phone of everything but CWM partioned for ics via the AIO software but CWM will not let me install any ROM onto the phone. to be more precise it says i have installed CM 7.2 successfully! (i've tried this via the CWM via external SD card and sideload) i reboot the phone it's as if i've never done a thing, no trace or suggestion i've even attempted it on the internal card... nothing
i'm at the point now where i'm quite happy to just have my phone back now and install ICS 404 but can't use the LG kdz install software as the pc doesn't see the phone as an LG p990 because it's recovery and i can only get it to come up as internal and external memory cards
i'm not really a noob when it comes to tech stuff but this little phone has me stumped.... please, i'm begging you, help me any operating system that can get my phone working will do, preferably the CM 7.2 if not back to ICS 404?
and i know, i know i should have backed up but i had no idea it could be so complicated just to put an OS on a tiny computer
ETA i've tried that exitrecovery.zip thing and it did nothing :/
It's quite simple
Try to reset and unroot/re-lock the phone then unlock and root, then what you need to do is get ROM Manager and get the Clockwork Recovery and the version that supports your device, although you might need to hook up your phone to your computer for the process to work.
Also put back in ICS 4.0.4 when unrooted and re-locked again like stock and make sure it's the stock file for your phone.
And after you got ROM Manger and the Clockwork Recovery
Then just in Clockwork wipe out all data on the device and don't do a factory reset in Android just with clockwork and delete everything that was made on that phone then install CyanogenMod.
After that it will seem to take a long time or just a while to boot up and then it boots faster then the original ROM.
If you have Clockwork Recovery just wipe out all the data while it's still in there and you should be set.
When it was my first time putting in CyanogenMod it was 10.1 RC1 on my Nexus 7 and it didn't work and forever bootlooped, and that was because i forgot to wipe the device. Then after going into Recovery with Clockwork I deleted all the data of my tablet and it worked but took 5 mins. to boot up which is nomal.
And if Clockwork doesn't work, do the same with TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) and download that which can be found here teamw.in/project/twrp
If you don't want to get ROM Manager or that one isn't working then try this website to get Clockwork because it has the whole list of devices and I recommend downloading from the website instead of their app. clockworkmod.com/rommanager
cheers for that, i've tried all of the above still to no avail, having a think about it the phone is partioned for ics, i'm trying to install CM 7.2 which as i understand isn't ICS so.... maybe the error is that it's a different partioning sequence/setup i'm gonna go for CM 10.1 and see if that makes a difference.
to add i'm not sure why everyone rants and raves about CWM, TWRP seems much more complete and advanced do you (or anyone else) know the main differences?

TWRP has a completely touch driven interface that is 100% themeable, while CWM has a touch version and non-touch version. Also TWRP has a built in file manger and terminal emulator where as CWM does not. A lot of people like TWRP because it provides a lot of good features with a simple and straightforward yet powerful user interface. I would recommend taking a look at this guide if you want more information on the differences between the two http://www.droidiser.com/2013/04/twrp-vs-clockworkmod-recovery.html?m=1.

ok i managed to do it i can't remember exactly how but some good links and info for anyone who stumbles across this in need of help
i went for cyanogenmod 10.1 to make this work i used this AIO tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
repartioned with OLD partion layout and BL
installed TWRP (included in the aio)
if you need to reinstall the google play store make sure you have right version if you flash it and get "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" repeatedly you have the wrong version see this link for which one you need http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps
obviously make sure you have adb and fastboot setup and drivers too.... it's a long process installing the entire sdk, personally for flashing this once and most definately not inclined to do it again i'd go with just the adb and fastboot rather than the whole sdk
also i found a keyboard error with 10.1 where i'd type 1,2 or 3 characters and the keyboard would minmise not sure if there's a proper fix (i found one thing where you disable the autocorrect but didn't want to do that) so i decided to download and install hackers keyboad which is based on the gingerbread keyboad and is much better and comes with full features and integrates nicely
coupled with the info above from YoyoscratchMC and you should be in the field
good luck to all i was ready to jump out my window with my phone first so i could land as hard as possible on it last night but i got there in the end lol
