[SOLVED] How to root the Archos 35 Home Connect - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pulling together a couple of other threads from Howto root easily your Gen8 device and How to enter in recovery mode for a Archos 35 Home connect?, and with thanks to a tip from Kilawo (and a similar tip from Klaus on mydealz.de), this is how I got root on my Archos 35 Home Connect.
First, read the warnings about the risks of doing this, and if you choose to go ahead download the files as described by chrulri at Howto root easily your Gen8 device. Then use the following method to install them - strictly at your own risk:
1 Install SDE (you only have to do this only once, it will even survive a full reformat, but it will void your product support)
reboot Archos device and enter Recovery Mode by holdiing down the power button until the logo appears then rapidly press and release the power button around 10 times
choose "Update Firmware" (use the + and - keys to highlight item, and press the on/off switch to accept)
connect your Archos 35 by USB to your computer (if it isn't already)
upload the SDE file to the Archos 35
select OK using the power on/off switch to process the SDE
reboot
2 Install android firmware
Having rebooted, use the USB cable to copy the firmware to the Archos 35
reboot the Archos 35 and it will offer to "Update Firmware"
select OK using the power on/off switch to update the firmware
reboot
3 Install the custom kernel + initramfs
Having rebooted, enter Recovery Mode by holding down the power button until the logo appears then rapidly press and release the power button around 10 times (if you're too slow you'll overshoot the screen and the device will boot normally - just try again)
select "Recovery Menu"
select "Developer Edition Menu"
choose "Flash Kernel and Initramfs"
connect your Archos 35 by USB to your computer
upload zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to the Archos 35
select OK using the power on/off switch to install the files
reboot and enter Recovery Mode by using the method above
choose "Developer Edition"
now you have temporary root (you always have to boot "Developer Edition" to get root again)
4 (optional!) permanent root - so it will always boot the custom kernel (to revert, reinstall Android firmware)
reboot and enter Recovery Mode by using the method above
select "Recovery Menu"
select "Developer Edition Menu"
select "Remove Android Kernel" and select OK using the power on/off switch
reboot
Now, using Google's Play store (downloaded via Arctools, which you can download via the pre-installed AppsLib) you can verify that you have root by installing Root Checker.

Once it is rooted. How do you get remove the bad TuneIn version that cannot save the favorite? That would be my only wish.
Thanks for opening this thread.

TuneIn is built into the ROM, so can't be removed. The only solution would be to replace the ROM, but I think that an another compatible does not exist. However you can use Google Play to install a different radio player.

I use TunIn on few devices, I added the favos online @ tunein.com.
Loged in to my account on the 35HC .. (After login it sais it failed.)
Went back to favos, and voila they were there.
I do mis some optional settings that are in the newer TuneIn
like auto start last active favo but thats just to bad for now.

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.

Zeki 7" Firmware?

Has anybody found a link to any custom or stock firmware for this tablet?
I have a small annoying issue that I am sure could be fixed with a flash, the back button randomly stops working until I reboot.
The baby Einstein on their 800 number thought a factory reset would fix it, then that using the software button was a good enough solution and had no clue about tablets in general. Through Support e-mail they were heading towards wanting me to ship the tablet back rather than supply a link to firmware. I explained to them it doesn't appear to be hardware related as it is random, and reboot fixes it.

I was finally able to get access to it through ADB and reset the permissions on the file. all is good now. I do still have problems with the screen "double tapping" though and have not figured out how to fix it. Does yours do the same thing.
The only problem I seem to have is that top left hand corner. Sometimes you have to tap that location a couple of times if that's what you mean

Google now restricts Google Play and Google apps access to certificated devices. Since you have a custom ROM, you are banned.
We now need to subscribe for the Google Play Certification.
In Android, go to Settings -> Security and activate the Unknow sources
Now use the built in File explorer app to install the deviceID app from you microSD card.
Install it, launch it.
Tap on the Google Service Framework (GSF) line, then tap on the COPY button.
In your Android webbrowser, go to : https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
Connect to Google using your Google/Android account.
In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.
Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.
Do I need to re-certify it ?
"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."

Hi,
Sincerely I didn't try to access recovery again.
At least you can log to a phone where you don't know the original owner.
Sorry for that.
Looked up for newer packages for 531f.
This tutorial is up to date.

Oooooops.
LineaOS 13 is available but marked as unstable : https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/lineageos-13-0-grand-prime-velte-t3874411
However users say it is pretty stable for a daily usage.
Read carefully the manual.

Latest Official Firmware with root (tutos available)
Optimized it myself by removing all crappy software pre-installed and some unnecessary services
Set Nova Launcher as default since TouchWiz is laggy asf
Updated

Hi, Touchwiz is proprietary.
You can try Lawnchair or Nova launcher.

oops, ok
the battery life with this rom is 10 times better than the lineage rom and even the stock rom.
I'll stick with this rom
Awesome work.

How to root sm-J530F without TWRP, with magisk

I couldn't post this in the phone's section so im posting it here.
I also can't post links so im sorry you have to google things
Easy steps for dummies:
1) download the latest firmware for it from sam mobile
2) download odin 3.13
BY THE WAY! Go to odin settings tab and tick off the auto reboot.
3) extract the firmware and put everything in its case except for home.csc
4)get your phone, go to settings > go to device info > go to software info > spam the buld number button till the message that you are a developer appears > go back > go to developer settings wich appeared bellow device info, > tick oem unlock on and usb debugging on
5) power off your phone by long pressing the power button and pressing the power off icon
6) hold volume down, power and home buttons at the same time till a warning appears, press volume up to go into download mode
7) connect phone to pc throught usb cable
8) go to ur pc and press START in odin
9) wait
Congratulations. You flashed your phone for the first time!
Now we're going to do the rooting.
Complete the setup, go to a browser and download Magisk Manager. In app it may show that you can update the magisk manager. Do that.
1) go to your pc and connect the phone to it throught usb
2) the ap file you had in your firmware? Copy that to the phone's SD card or internal memory if you have double the size of the ap or more.
3) go into magisk manager and click install magisk, click next on the first tab, on the second tab click the "patch" button and select the ap you just copied to your phone.
4) click next and wait for it to patch it
5) after patching, move the file to your pc and flash the phone throught odin(only the file wich is something like "magisk-patched" or something in the AP section. Nothing else in odin) and press start
6)Wait
7) boot phone up
8) go to a browser and download Magisk Manager again
9) it will ask you to install something, do it. After that it will restart
10) Wait
CONGRATULATIONS! You just rooted your phone.
This is only tested on Samsung Galaxy j5 2017 (SM-J530F)
