Greetings, I have a Archos 101b platinum tablet running kitkat and I have been searching around the internet but I just can't seem to find anything about rooting for this tablet.
I would really love to root it and make it possible for apps/games being installed on the SDcard and if possible get an adblock on it. but to do such things I seem to need root access but the amount of information on how to do it for this tablet is so minimal(None) it's driving me crazy.
If anybody is able to help me with this I would really appreciate it.
Extra info:
Android version: 4.2.2
Firmware version: 4.6
Kernel version: 3.3.0
Root
to be honest dont root this tablet, it becomes very unstable and can factory reset on every reboot, go through settings applications all. Once there clear the cache, data and disable any programs that you dont want to use such as google music, videos, books etc this will save you space and ram.
Use iroot

Hi. I've only rooted one phone successfully before, the Nexus One and have had no need to root the Galaxy Nexus. I have pre-ordered the Nexus 7 & doubt I'd need to root that either. I like stock Android with no bloatware.
I've purchased an Archos G9 101 Turbo which only has 8gb flash. I didn't want the pricier and way heavier 250gb SSD model. However, 8gb is very little when I want to mainly use it to store video data and digital comics which take up a lot of room. I put in a 32gb micro sd to expand my storage but realistically all that will allow me to do in Android 4.0+ is store pictures, music, etc there which I won't do with this tablet.
What I need is to be able to store app data to it like you could in prior versions of Android. Since the new software works much like iOS in that everything shares the remaining memory that the OS doesn't take up, I can understand why they are starting to not put micro sd slots in. But if they aren't going to, more flash needs to be added.
So ... I understand that there are tools such as Directory Bind that I've seen links on here discussing it for other devices that users want the same thing I want it for --

I also recognize that in order to accomplish this, I need root permission. I don't have need for a custom rom as the archos is fairly close to stock but I would like to remove some bloatware and utilize an app like directory bind to re-direct my apps to store their data on the micro sd I installed. Digital comic books take up a lot of room but if I could make the app store the data on the micro sd, this would alleviate my problem.
Having explained the above, can someone please kindly assist me with a thread or tell me directly the following;
1) How to root the gen 9 101.
2) If I root, do I HAVE to have a custom recovery and ROM?
3) Once I root, is Directory Bind the best solution for moving app data to the micro sd and if not, what is?
I'd really appreciate guidance on this as I don't want to brick the Archos 101 G9. It wasn't a terribly expensive & high quality device but since they bumped it to 1gb ram, it runs pretty smooth for what I need ... to bad they didn't include more RAM!! Regardless, I'm willing to root this one & use it as my play device.
Thanks in advance for any help. I did search thru the forums before posting but there was o much information I wasn't sure which avenue to take.

Hi!
...because Archos is not a classical device ....you need to perform few steps !!!
1. You need to install ( enable) SDE menu ! please go here & press Thanks to Shano56 , for enable SDE , how prepar your device for root & ...
2. You can download & install the last Archos firmware 4.0.7 (4.0.3) - Root version ( is the same version with official Archos but with root access !) here !
3. You can not move app on micoSD ...for this you need to perform some aditional steps !
3. After you have installed SDE, you can install Custom Rom !!!
( I will upload soon the Root version ~ 1hour !) :good:
Good luck !

Thanks for the help. I don't know if I'll get it right and definitely don't want to brick the tablet so I hope you don't mind if I might have another question as I go along.
BTW ... I do not want to put my apps on the micro sd, just the app data only. The apps themselves hardly take up any room but if you read alot of books from different apps (Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Play) and read a lot of digital comics via an app like Comixology, the data they store will eat up what little memory is available of the G9 101 with it only having 8gb. That's why it's so important to find a way to do that and the Directory Bind app looks like it might solve that issue. Comixology especially creates a lot of data with the downloaded comics. I just don't want to constantly have to delete comics or books from any of my apps just to make room for more. IF I can get the G9 working where the apps recognize their data stored on the 32gb micro sd card I installed, then I'll have plenty of room for what I need and can download more books and comic books than I could read in a year. The "cloud" is fine for some things but I don't want to trust it with my entire reading library.
I will follow the steps you outlined from the links noted and let you know my progress.
-- Will I need a custom ROM or can I just use the rooted Archos ROM you referred to and if so, will it still get OTA updates which Archos is frankly way better with than the likes of Motorola??
-- Have you personally had any success with the DirectoryBind app that forces an app to relocate data to the microsd? I see mixed results from several threads and from a web article. Here's a few:

One other quick question: what are the advantages of using a custom ROM for the Archos G9 101?
Hello all,
I am newbie to this forum and also newbie to Android.
I recently got myself an ASUS Memo Pad tablet and I want to root it.
I did some searching and reading on the subject and I found some info about
Towelroot, superSU, CPU-Z, root checker, brick, app ops, etc'.
But I did not find any specific information about rooting the ASUS MemoPad 8" 4.4.2 .
Did anybody ever rooted this device ?
Can somebody direct me to a tool that can root this tablet ?
I want to root this tablet for two reasons:
- To enable me to install apps on the microSD card .
- To prevent apps from collecting data.
I would also appreciate it if anybody tell me about other advantages of a rooted Android device.
Here's the info:
ASUS Memo Pad 8"
Model Number: K011
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel version date: Friday June 20th 2014
Processor: Intel ATOM
Architecture: X86
4 cores
Any help appreciated.

Well while I don't know how to root your tab, I can answer your other question. There are many benefits, and a couple of drawbacks. With root, you gain full read-write access to your device, which has many uses. For example you can set custom CPU clocks (to increase performance or save battery), you can remove bloatware apps which can also increase performance and save storage. Then there's adfree to block adds, you can get an app for permission management to increase security as well as firewall apps. You can also install UI mods and better customize the tablet to your liking. Finally there's the possibility of a custom recovery and ROMs like CyanogenMod. The downside is that if you fiddle too much and break something the tablet might not boot. And of course there's the problem of giving su access to a malicious app that can steal data, drain battery, slow down the system or just plain make your tablet unbootable. All in all, it's a good thing, just be careful.
Thanks neroTNS.
I guess I'll wait for more answers.

Roots for K011
I know what you mean by rooting. It seems like an impossible task. One good thing about this tab though is once rooted, IT KEEPS ITS ROOT! I rooted mine and 3 updates were done, all updates keeping the root. Asus does have an app called root.apk that you can install. There is also Kingo Root which requires you go into developer mode and turn on USB Debugging. The root.apk is hard to find, but Kingo Root is easy to find and fairly simple to use as long as you have an open USB port on your computer.
Hope that helps.

Hey guys,
I would like to buy ZenPad Z580CA - 8'' IPS - 64 GB - Wifi and it will be my first Android tablet. Can you tell me if it's "rootable" or not? And if it is, Are there any ROMs available for it?
Anyone guys?
Yes, it is easily rootable. Just follow instructions in "Zenpad S root achieved". You will need a 8gb sdcard in fat2 format to put the chainfire updated su zip file on.
I actually bricked mine already by removing bloat with titanium backup. Fortunately asus provided factory image on their web support site soi was able to restore it with root method above.
The tablet is great after you freeze thd bloatware. I kind of like the asus enhancements. I disabled lock screen and configured wake up when double tapping the black screen, could not do that on my nexus 7.
However i dont like asus launcher so i use nova launcher instead.
mulperi, thanks a lot for the info and the reply, very helpful. I have a question: you said you bricked your tablet when you tried to uninstall Asus apps, should I avoid it and try to freeze the bloatware? The SDcard should be formatted FAT32?
Titanium Backup hung when trying to restore my uninstalled system apps. So my recommendation is to forget titanium and instead use the android built in ordinary application disable. I was able to disable everything i consider bloatware, also many google apps.
Yes avoid disabling/freezing asus apps (color, ui...) and especially asus launcher.
I think the flash tools use an old version of cwm, that can only work with max 8gb sdcard formatted as fat2. At least my other 64gb sdcard was not recognized at all.
Go luck, its a great tablet!
Thanks a lot man for the help and the good advice!
Cheers!
Guys, have you tried to install xposed on it? I'm trying but I've failed so far. I get a message "Xposed int not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (x68)". Any ideas?
I succeeding in installing xposed-v79-sdk21-x86.zip using temporary cwm recovery. Before rebooting remember to clear cache and dalvik cache. Then install xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
Now it has been a year the tablet is rooted but still nobody has thought to port a new rom. It's a shame, because it is a good tablet but even rooted, Marshmallow sucks and the tablet has a lot of lags. Furthermore, I have been seeing to buy a new tablet, but I realize that the specs of the new ones, are not that different than the specs of this one. So, I'm asking to those great creators of Lineage OS, who ported the Z380 could you please port the Z580CA? thank you in advance
Hello All,
I need some assistance with my brother's Sharperview SV-85BL that's running Android OS. It keeps downloading and installing random applications to the point where it slows everything and makes it impossible to use. I have tried factory resetting several times and this does not solve the problem. An application called "CPS" and "Snake" always crash on startup and as soon as I connect to Wi-Fi, all apps are downloaded again.
A co-worker told me that it's more than likely a root level infection and that my factory rom has been compromised. I was able to do a scan with MalwareBytes (being a PC guy, this has helped me many times) and an infection was found with Google Search but was not removable. That same co-worker explained to me that root level access is not permitted for any applications so infections like this need to be handled differently.
So my first question... Does anybody know where I can retrieve the custom rom to restore?
Here's some additional info:
Model Number: SV-85BL
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: ALPS.JB3.MP.V1.8
Custom build version: k7_wvga_3g_port_jhshm05_v05
I tried searching but I was unable to find anything. If I did find this rom, could I restore from the sd card via recovery menu?
If finding this rom is not possible, is my only other option to root my device so I can install any custom rom? If so, I would need a nudge in the right direction for rooting instructions for this device.
Thanks in advance.
So is this custom rom not obtainable? Do I have any options without it?
From the sounds of things it could be a few things. It is most likely a script set in the system partition that auto downloads when it detects a data connection. This is common is many Asia based devices and all over the place in knock off devices.
You only really have a few options. Find a stock rom for it and see if it is built into stock. (he could have done something that could cause this) if it is then your only hopes are finding a custom built rom or getting root and finding what ever is causing it. Neither are as easy as they sound. There might not be a root exploit or a custom rom for that device.
First, I know that my phone is old but I'm not a power user. However, its performance is starting to get "clunky". I want to move the apps I do have installed to my SD card to free up some internal memory. Problem is, I'm only running 6.0 and you need 7.x at a minimum in order for this option to be available. I Googled some Youtube videos on updating to Nougat but my phone doesn't seem to have the capability to do so. Does the phone have to be rooted first? Otherwise, can somebody walk me through the process? My phone doesn't seem to have the System Update utility that's mentioned in the videos I've watched.
