i havea strange problem where my 101 I cannot boot into the android installation only the developer environment. This seems have been caused by a misuse of the arctools settings editor. I set both the properties availablein the settings editor and afterwards couldn't boot android (it loops but never starts). I then installed urukdroid , which works, but I still cannot boot into android only the development environment. I have also reflashed the firmware but still have the same problem. In addition, since I installed urukdroid 1.0rc3 I cannot connect to my windows machine outside of the developwe environment. I need to know 3 things:
1) can I only get my android environment back by formatting the drive and reflashing the latest archos firmware
2) if I format the disk will I then be able to connect to my windows machine to reflash the firmware
3) is it possible to reset the properties in the android installation from the urukdroid developer environment
Any help would be appreciated

I have an Archos 101 without root or UrukD, and yesterday my Archos entered on a boot loop... Just switch off Archos and turn it on again...
I have been doing that all day unfortunately

I had the same problem and was dealing with it all weekend. Sometimes the install would complete fine but did not take I guess and I would get the loop.
Yes, formating the system did fix it but you need to install the original Archos firmware first. So, remove SDE, reboot, format the system, install the latest Archos firmware THEN reinstall the SDE and Urukdroid. This is the only way that I have been able to avoid the boot loop. Hope that help.
Sorted!!
I sorted it out by reinitializing Android from the repair menu, which while reinstalling the main Android, didn't effect the developer edition.
OK that's done now to see if upgrading the Urukdroid google market will cause problems.

Don't worry, it's not killed.
If your device says update failed, usually it's because aos file is corrupted or file name is invalid. First, make sure that the filename is correct, browsers often modify name when you download same file multiple times.
And if it's correct then try to download it again from Archos website.
If nothing works, choose reformat device then try again.
If the failed is error 101, make sure you have the newest version of the update

ok so i have managed to get the aos file back on to my tablet so now not so broke but still want to root, the tutorial says i should put the firmware ext and other files on to archos via adb or copy and paste but when i get my tab to show as removable drive its only something like 200mb in size and the ext4 and other files for rooted firmware are over 500mb total...

You boot the tablet as usual and run Paul's root. Then you enable sde. After this, copy the file to the internal storage of the device using your computer. Boot into recovery. Go to development > install ramdisk. Another drive will appear on your PC. Copy the other 2 files onto it and press the power button on the device. Wait and then reboot

Ext4 isn't installed, it just sits there being mounted
About root: Are you booted into sde?
If not, boot into recovery and select Boot Developer Edition

Stuck in a boot loop
Hi guys and gals, 101g9 250gb is stuck in a boot loop....
SO FAR...
I had sever problems with crashing on the archos FW.
So I switched to a xda dev version (can't remember which one).
It worked well for 2 weeks, then just started a reboot loop.
I tried in this order:
Restarting in safe (button) mode 545434times
uninstalling the dev and reinstalling the archos FW
formatting android
formatting every other thing
Reinstalling the SDE menu - then trying a xdadev
It's still stuck in a boot loop.
Any help would be great.....
thanks
Hello,
A few months ago, i rooted our Archos 101 succesfully. Multiboot. Worked nice.
Then the firmware came, and my partner let it install. But it failed halfway.
He tried some things, but no succes.
Now we found this guide on how to install the firmware.
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=54637
This guide seems to be the windows version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196318
My partner tried the steps, but nothing seems to work.
We have only the recovery menu, without the SDE .....
I tried to use the stock firmware and the sde version. But it stops directly, saying: update failed
I tried the format option, the fw-update version.
I tried downing with firefox and iE8. We use the original file-name
Nothing helps
I hope we are not bricked.
What can we do?
Thanks in advance,
Lydia

Hi,
What's your tab? it will help us i think.
and, have you all stock menu (except sde menu of course)?
I have no idea, except, your hardware is damaged.
another question comes to me: The full format works well?
Bizcuite
If u can uninstall SDE do it (if you dont have SDE menu skip this step). Try full device reformat. Make sure you download the right firmware for your device cuz many people made the mistake to download the wrong one.
We have an Archos 101 internet 8gb gen8
We used this stock firmware:
update.archos.com/8/gen8/gen8_2.4.83/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
and this sde firmware:
archos.com/support/download/firm_dev/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
(sorry outside links are not allowed for me yet)
We tried several formats. The guide let to format from within windows. Recently I cleaned my computer. So no ADB of Android sdk intstalled at the moment. The format from the windows-admin is a bit strange, but I hoped the guide was ok.
We tried FAT and FAT32
It seem to work.
We have only the white screen with the boot menu. No SDE.
The firmware worked in the beginning but got stuck and hanged voor about half an hour. Then we interupted it by switching off the tablet
Now it won't start any script.
I do hope it is nothing with the hardware! Could it really go wrong when roootin?
Greetz, Lydia
Hello when i, make system recovery, ant me tablet reboot, and don't not loading only show archos logo screen, and i cant use system recovery, where is the problem, how i can fix it?
If you had custom rom installed and made reset to factory settings, then this is an usual problem.
Try to flash rom again.
Check if you can enter in recovery menu by pressing "volume up + power on" on powered off device.
Thank you recovery menu now working, what rom is recomendet for me tablet?
Before installing custom rom, install official rom for your tablet, you can find it on archos website.
I'm using freezenook ROM. Do not reset your config in future with this rom. Only stock rom doing it correctly.

p.s...it isn't actually 206mb...it's packed but when u move it to archos...it unpacks and the size is actually a lot larger
The update firmware option in recovery is what you want. Choose that. Hook data cable up to computer. In windows you should see a new drive pop up saying Recovery or Rec or something. It may say 180mb or something but Archos' firmware should fit on it just fine.

Thanx stevemp and Djirin...just tried it the now and it worked straight away...i realised i was mucking it up also by pressing ok after the download which i kept on getting failed: (221)....i downloaded it...took out the usb lead and it prompted me to put usb back in and then i saw it installing with the blue stripe at the bottom of the screen...so happy now...think ill celebrate with a beer cheers buds!! :good: :good: :good:
I'm having the same issues.. my girlfriends kid hates me and bricked my archos 101 good...I only have a three hundred megabytes drive I don't see the actual hard drive for the Archos I put the firmware on there and as soon as it tries to update the firmware disappears and the drive becomes invisable/unreadable again. I do get an archos splash screen occasionally but it locks there.
I have to do the full archos format twice before my computer can see it again I'm trying on both windows 8 & 7.. I've tried with the supplied archos cable and went out and bought a new cable just in case both a 4 pin and 7 pin miniusb. I tried flashing the developer firmware and it booted up to the new splash screen froze there. I left ir on that screen went and did my laundry.. came home and nothing it was still stuck there.. i rebooted and i do not even see the watermark they talk about.. I'm ready to drop kick it but i love it..
I do know that the 300Mb drive does NOT have the correct serial number.. it is formatted fat 32..
With partition manager i can change the allocation from logical/primary. I can change it from a fat 32 to a fat 32 lba.
Or Linux fat 16 or something else. I tried changing the serial number of the drive and after the failed update it is incorrect again. And it wont allow me to enter the pc before the serial just the c.
I'm so frustrated and need help please my archos is my sanity on a 2hour bus and train ride to and from work everyday. This is going on week 3
Thanks for your help if you have any further ideas they are greatly appreciated
If you have only 300mb free I assume you are talking about the flash memory then. The HD models have an internal flash that programs get installed to and then the seperate HD where all your mp3s, videos, etc get installed to.
Have you gone into recovery and just tried to update the firmware from there directly? Same thing as Glen460 was instructed to do

Hi! I am new here and I hope that I choose right spot for posting a thread.
Would someone be kind to help me please?
I have Android Box A95X F3, never had any issue. This morning I made some stupid mistake and I installed Magisk on it which flashed and booted some image. After it finished and I restarted device, system disappeared (dead Android logo is on screen). I tried to wipe data and do factory reset, but every time I press reboot system now it goes back to boot screen with dead Android logo.
Same screen as here appear: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7E81YRF9ieY/maxresdefault.jpg
Can someone help me and say what should I do?
I have some experience with booting custom ROMs on Android phones, but I am not sure how to fix this on Android Box.
P.S. For booting system external to the device, how can I connect it with my PC? Do I need macho to macho USB cable?
Thanks in advance

i think you can't repair the system better to flash it using the usb burning tools and the last firmware for your box format img
