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 my 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
Need Root
Really need helpon this topic guys!
I'm also trying to gain root (even if just temporary) on a 101b platinum, just to remove the google system/app guff.
I assume this is a Generation 10 tablet since it follows "GEN10 TABLETS" in the drop down list for documentation on archos's website.
What I found so far is;
To get to USB debugging you have to press Settings > About > Build, several times to get Developer options, which seems paranoid since ADB alone is nightmare to install and use.
adb root, throws an error about not allowed in production builds.
tried installing the SDE, but it seems the recovery firmware update only accepts ZIP files, so I tried zipping up the AOS file, but the update just errors with "wrong footer".
Tried the Paul/Modoco Gen9 root, but the /data/local folder is locked from user access afaics.
I'm thinking either forcing the SDE on somehow or a firmware mod is the direct solution to root, but I'd ideally like a less destructive version of modding.
Update:
Tried iRoot (formerly vRoot) and Kingo ROOT without any success.
Seems Kingo ROOT goes through known exploits to, I'm suspecting it's been locked down in newer Kitkat.
I doubt a patched firmware will be around until Archos issue a stock one (it's currently missing from the list)
Quick post;
I've noticed a few other people have had the Kingo ROOT crash the boot process on the Archos, and think it's bricked. It's not, if your tablet (or nearly any new consumer electronics) refuses to shutdown for any reason, press and hold the power button until the device powers off. I thought it was common knowledge, but it seems not.

I have the issue from KingoRoot that everytime I boot up the tablet starts from initial setup so I have to set it up every single time it is switched off.
Rom Archos 101b platinum
Hi guys,
I used king root on this tablet and it completely ruined it, everytime it boots it goes through the initial setup.
Basically i have the file here on my computer that will fix it but i cant find a site to upload it to. If someone can help me out with this i can provide the rom to fix what king root broke .

Hi!
I got this DMTECH 1018QCB tablet, it's Swedish.
It's filled with crap- and bloatware, and keeps installing all kinds of apps without my confirm.
I've looked at the forums, but can't find anything to this model.
I wan't to flash and install a new ROM on it, just the newest Lolipop version
As of right now, the tablet has 4.4.2
Also, it is possible to find the device with ADB and it's possible to get it into recovery mode
Can somebody help?
Hey, I was able to get root on my Y538. But when I tried to delete some bloatware and restart the phone I got stuck in a bootloop. I'm thinking I may be able to fix this issue by sideloading the Y538 kernel from the EMUI site. But I'm having trouble downloading the file.
Has anyone else in the history of the world had this issue before??? I could really use some help here cuz this is kinda my cellular device...
Tried posting the link to the Kernel I need. But I'm unable to. Just search Huawei EMUI Y538 Kernel. It should come up.
Lemme know if you have any questions or solutions. Thanks much!
I have the kernal if you still need. I can't get it to sideload because no adb recognition, though. :/
My union softbrick...also from root and reboot...is looking more and more like a hard brick lol. Any help would be appreciated.

Any update on this?
Today I tried to replace kingroot with supersu. Now the phone gets stuck on boot screen.
I can't find the guide how to use the source code to fix this.
Android update soft bricked my sons phone.
i can get it to boot into recovery and the sd card update, how ever, the update will not work. is it totally done for?
I am officially stuck in bootloop after editing the build prop; trying to get split screen ability. I do not have a back up, but truly I thought I did. It is rooted but no custom recovery installed. I have tried to reset to factory but it does nothing. The brand is Marozi the model is C8000 OTA. It had Android 5.1.1 can anyone help me? If there are any downloadable Android images or Android OTA files that I can use to flash the Android image back on the phone since I do have root privileges would help. I am completely okay doing a clean install and wiping the phone. I can absolutely even flash a ROM that is compatible with my phone and go that route as well. At this point I am willing to try anything and do everything to have it working again. Personal life is very unsafe with two kids and I need a working phone and honestly cannot afford to buy a new one. A case of beer to anyone who can help me.
Thank you!

Hi all, I am new to this forum. Please don't mind if this was not the right place/section to start a thread. I was trying to gain more knowledge and trying to fix my tablet. I was looking to install TWRP (as I remember, or it was some bootloader I guess), but unfurtunately my device was not listed. So by looking up at the motherboard sticker and doing some research about the similar tablets on google. I felt that installing a specific version was a good idea. I followed steps listed on a site to flash it into tablet using adb, and by booting it in recovery mode.
It turned out to be a disaster for my tablet, which is now stuck at black screen and won't show anything. If anyone can please help me out to fix it, It would be highly appreciated.
My tablet's name is Waywalkers M9, 10.1 inch. Bought from aliexpress.

Hey,
Do not panic, all you need to do is install the stock firmware for that tablet, then flash it using odin app, and it should work again. You should find the stock firmware on google.
