Newbie , so please be gentle with me if my question seems daft.
have installed detox 4.0.28 and have a few questions. I have tried replying to the actual thread , but it will not let me as im new.
I installed the unofficial SDE , and installed the detox. I have root , but when i actually look at my version , it just says 4.0.28..will there be anything to actually show i have the detox version?
I followed Surd instructions , but did not have the option of " go to recovery SDE and Remove android kernel if you have already installed any official firmware !"
so i carried on and "go to Flash kernel & Initramfs and copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo from ( Archos_Deodex_4.0.28)
Ok ! ... & wait to boot !"
My other question is about reboot
I hold the power for 10 secs ..see the Archos logo flash very briefy ...if i do not release the power button quick enough ..the screen then goes blank ..and i end up pushing the power button in briefly a few times , and sometime i see the logo screen. Has anyone else experienced this
thanks for any help you can give

Hello again (you already know me as mls over on the archosfans forum LOL).
First off, its "root and deodexed" not "rot and detoxed"...
I assume you mean that you have installed this "deodexed" version 4.0.28. Even though it does have a number of other additional changes, it's still uses the Archos 4.0.28 firmware as a base... and, as such, would show up as 4.0.28 in Settings=>About. Sometimes a ROM developer will change that, or they will change what is listed further down in the Build version section. In all honesty, it is up to YOU to keep track of what you install on YOUR OWN device.
I followed Surd instructions , but did not have the option of " go to recovery SDE and Remove android kernel if you have already installed any official firmware !"
so i carried on and "go to Flash kernel & Initramfs and copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo from ( Archos_Deodex_4.0.28)

The Remove Android Kernel option will only show up once (or if you later re-install an official Archos firmware .aos again later). If you had already removed the the Android Kernel when you installed some other rooted firmware it would not show up as an option again (until you install official Archos firmware again).
My other question is about reboot
I hold the power for 10 secs ..see the Archos logo flash very briefy ...if i do not release the power button quick enough ..the screen then goes blank ..and i end up pushing the power button in briefly a few times , and sometime i see the logo screen. Has anyone else experienced this

Don't know what you mean because the ONLY time you ever would hold the power button for 10 seconds is if you wanted to force the device to reset and turn off. If the device is up and running, you would only have to hold the power button for about 3 to 5 seconds and an option menu should display giving you a choice to go into deep sleep, reboot, or turn off. Holding the power button for 10 seconds anywhere else could cause any number of other problems because you may be FORCING the system to shut down in the middle of something important that it needs to complete doing.
To get into the Recovery/SDE you have to first make sure the device is totally shut down and turned off. Then keep holding in the + (or -) volume button and just press the power button long enough for it to boot up into the Recovery/SDE menu.
As for the boot logo not showing up... well, unfortunately surdu_petru used an early version of the Archos 4.0.28 firmware for his ROM's (Archos actually released 3 different ones all with the same 4.0.28 version number... see my other posts about that elsewhere). The first release would go into a blank display for a while instead of properly displaying the animated logo.
Hi MLS
A small world (LOL) Thanks again for your reply on here ( and archosfans) LOL .. ) you have been very informative.
Rot and detox ..oops finger trouble there ..and i did not know how to go and amend the title, or the text when i used detox ( perhaps i need to go into detox from beer , to stop my rambling ..then again ....)
Power problem , yes its only when i turn the tablet on ( from off) , i normally hold the power button in , until i see the archos logo..then i let it go. Its no problem , as the screen sometimes goes blank ( making me think ..oh no!! is it broke) , but after about the same time of a normal power on..the archos logo appears , then goes, as the tablet is on, and everything is normal.
But as you have now told me the reason , i will not panic..
Thanks again.
Hi,
my Pipo M6 per wifi hangs itself while starting, i.e. he gets stuck with the loading picture. Indeed, with the Reset he restarts, however, gets stuck also again. After he gets stuck, he can be also switched off no more, except by Reset.
And I also do not come to the Recovery mode, I thought, maybe helps a new firmware. However, sometimes he registers if I hold the keys while starting low-spirited, that Android little manes with open belly and warning sign. see below.
If I hang him by USB on my Win7 pc, a wrong driver's file is installed constantly, either Samsung or HTC, so that the Flashtools register that no suitable device is connected. With the USB driver of Pipo the pc says that that is no suitable driver's file.
What can I do?
And over again for stupid ones: I come to the Recovery fashion, nevertheless, dur volume press ESC and power at the same time, or?
Please, can anybody help me?
Nobody can help?
Is the tablet an fall for garantie?
Anybody any idea?
Please help.

A This is the easiest way: Do a HARDRESET
Recovery Mode (for Factory Reset):
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. [Reset] (on the backside)
2. [Power] + [Vol-]
3. green Android shows up
4. press [Vol-] + [Vol+] + [ESC] together till Menu shows up (if it's not showing up try to press it a few once more)
OR
B For advanced users: Flash the original Firmware (download from here it is a very slow download )
and use the howto which is delivered within the downoad.
Maybe you can find some usefull information here
Hope i could help u. For me it was working fine.....
How the problem occurred
So a year or two ago I bought a Jiayu G4A/T/Whatever they're calling it and safely got it here. I've used the stock ROM for a bit but I wanted to get rid of the bloatware that was still on it, so I eventually ended up with a properly rooted phone with a ROM from Jiayu.es (Everything worked, have ClockworkMod as recovery, accessible via Mobileuncle Tools), which was essentially a stock Kitkat rom made to work for the phone. Now I got sick of the ROM and recently saw the new EMUI version on Huawei's P8 Lite, so I figured I'd look around for a tailored ROM running that, and ended up at "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" from Needrom.
What I did
1. I downloaded a ROM from Needrom with identifier "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" (I can't post external links)
2. Backed up my important files following a guide from androidcentral titled "[Guide] How to Backup and Restore Apps and Data when installing new ROMs" that I can't link,and did a full backup using CWM
3. Placed the ZIP on my internal SD card, went into recovery, wiped data/cache (not dalvik, since it wasn't described in the instructions, I think this might be a probable cause) and installed the new ROM from ZIP
4. Rebooted the phone and now it's stuck in the boot loop I mentioned.
What the problem is
Bootloops aren't that much of a problem usually, except this one is... I can't get into recovery mode. From there on it'd be cake, since I made the right preparations, but I can't get into it. While connected to my PC it keeps powering on, showing a splash screen from Jiayu.es briefly (which shouldn't be present anymore) and powering off after 10 seconds, only to come back to the splash screen.
What I've tried
I've unplugged it, removed the battery, waited to get a full power cycle and tried to hold my buttons in these combinations: [power button + volume up], [power button + volume down] - but neither work. It just keeps going with the boot loop. I can succesfully power it down, and when I plug it in from there it shows the low battery image. At the moment of seeing that I thought I could connect to it using ADB / Fastboot, but no luck there either. It keeps saying no devices found, and with fastboot it keeps on <waiting for device>.
My questions
What exactly can I do if there is no way for me to get into recovery mode? Are there any alternatives? How can I get my device to be recognized by ADB? Is that even possible? Why is this bootloop any different from others?
Update from the massive Q&A thread:
ZipAddict said:
Is it booting up on its own too after being off? This happened to wifes phone and it turned out the power button was stuck. I took a pencil and hit the power button with the eraser a few times and it worked then. Her case mustve dislogded it. I will keep my fingers crossed for u. If not send me a private message and i will look for an answer tomorrow and get back with u

Thank you for the reply!
Yes, it does. I took the battery out and let it lay disassembled for a night, after which I cleaned it a little and re-inserted the battery. With the case back on, nothing happened, so the power button wasn't stuck for sure. When I powered it back on with the power button (no USB attached) it showed the emblem for ~8 seconds and powered off. It then buzzes to show it's powered on again and up comes the splash screen again. Could it be that the ROM was just a rebooting falsehood? Why would it disallow me getting into recovery mode? I really hope there is something that can still force the device into recovery mode / interact with it somehow while in this state.
Oh, I also tried to see if the volume down button was broken but all the contacts seem intact, plus, they worked an hour before I started switching roms.
Hopefully someone can help me, my child has a Pendo Pad 7 Model no.PNDPP44QC7 with Kitkat 4.4 and it ended up with lots of malware/viruses and barely usable. This tablet only has a power button and no other buttons so I did not know how to boot into recovery mode to do factory reset and after trying reset through settings which made no difference so I gave the device ROOT access so I could try and delete the malware etc but of course i did not do any sort of backup and did not add CWM or TWRP recovery. I ended up deleting something wrong and now the device just hangs on the Pendo logo screen. I have since worked out how to boot into Recovery Mode and also Fastboot mode now but a bit too late I tried to do a wipe data/factory reset and this made no difference still hangs on Pendo logo.
I can't seem to find a CWM or TWRP image file to suit the tablet and possibly try putting tablet into fastboot mode and using ADB on computer and flash the recovery to tablet. ???
in recovery mode options i get are
apply update from ADB
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
but i can not seem to find any correct files to work with this tablet any help to get this tablet working again would be much appreciated Thanks
Good day! how did you manage to boot into Recovery Mode or Fast Mode?
After pressing the power button and seeing the display turn on. Keep spamming the power button and a menu will pop-up on screen with boot options. Short press of the power button cycles through the options, long press selects the option.
Mine was also stuck on a boot loop, even though I had not played around with any settings or tried to root etc. I was able to revive it by going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset.
Hey OP I've got hold of the same tablet I'm working on getting a rom dump atm. Bare with me I'll try and send a link for the img. If u can get into recovery mode where u can update zip. That's good if not try and via pc. Once u have a link to the tablets boatloader, rest is history.
Hi,
Wondering if I can follow up on this.
Mine is stuck on the PENDO boot screen, and I have tried the reset button, as well as the se commands PENDO suggested....
1. Press On/Off Switch (Power), wait for the Pendo Logo start up screen, and then press On/Off Switch (Power) twice right away.
2. Factory mode menu comes out after 10 seconds, two fingers touches panel together to move to select the one like the following picture shows (no need to understand the Chinese words, just follow through as what the picture shows)
3. Press On/Off Switch (Power) and the following picture below will show, press On/Off Switch (Power) again to proceed on Recovery Mode, and wait for system to restart.
Unfortunately, nothing still happens.
ADB will not reveal what device it is, nor will Win 10 recognise the device for it to show in Device Manager or connected devices.
Windows responds with a ding ding, but nothing shows up.
I am stuck, and any info gladly accepted.
Thanks
bump please

not working in my pendotab window 8
Hi,
I could get no further with mine, the same as you.
I contacted Pendo Support, and explained it would work but not boot, I even asked for the image file so I could reload it in recovery mode, however, they did not have access to it, the Chinese manufacturer had not made it available to them.
As I described it was not damaged, but simply not working, they agreed to send me a replacement, even though it was out of warranty, as really, as I said to them, it was not fit for purpose.
I had to send the old one back, but they sent me a satchel in which to do so, at no cost to me.
They sent me the new one very promptly.
Hope is not lost,
Someone has finally manage to extract the factory ROM for the pendo PNDPP44QC7. Just search the model number on needrom.

Please i dont have a needrom account i cant download plz who Can send me the direct link to m'y account
Hello and thank you for anyone bothering to read this.
I got a CAT S50 and was experiencing a bit of instability lately.
I've run LTE_S0201121.0_S50_0.023.00 without a hitch for a while, then it decided to crash several applications, from google play to any other app open.
That's when I decided to do a factory reset and see if it would help. Performed the rest without a hitch, but the errors kept coming back. At one point, the screen went black. I knew the phone was on because the backlit was working. I hard-reseted it (hold the power button for 30 seconds or more) and rebooted. The phone froze on the CAT splash logo screen and that's when I hard-reset it again. But when I tried to turn it on, the phone simply refused to work. No vibrate, sounds or anything. It's dead.
When I plug it on the computer's USB, the PC makes a sound as if it detected the device, but when I go to the device manager, I get this QHSUSB_BULK with the yellow exclamation mark
I want to know if it is possible to unbrick this phone and if so, if there is a tutorial or if someone can direct me to the correct procedure. I looked everywhere for the ftf file for this phone to attempt this with flashtool, but I simply can't find it.
ANY help of any form is greatly appreciated.
Sadly I had the same thing happen to me, just a black screen. It decided to delete recovery mode or I just cant get to it.
Power Off the Phone,
While pressing Press Vol Down + Cam Button insert a Powersource -- hold down Vol Down + Cam
Recoverymenu should start
Then flash the original rom via ADB Sideload or SD Card.
btw. i have flashed the LTE_S0201121.0_S50_0.023.00 but i want test older ROMs!
can anyone link or upload an older ROM ?
Guy i have the same issue, can you please help me
I got the same problem I search lots place but still nothing then normal update rom anyone can help?
