archos 80 cesium no software need some help - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello
i need some help i am kinda clueless i have a archos 80 cesium
with no software at all no recovery etc
the only thing it does is boot logo and after like couple min it goes on no bootable device hit any key
its normal a windows tablet
anybody suggestions ?

Less info how you get it bricked that way, which maybe is helpful to know. Custom recovery, stock?
Whatever i guess only chance to unbrick is by flashing stock-rom
Stock rom is not at ftp://support.archos.com/Smartphones&Tablets/
Seems like it has a SDE firmware?

guess you find some answers here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468925

Not sure if I should bump this thread, but thought I shall leave my two cents here.
I feel you have corrupted the boot or the internal storage. Since this is a windows tablet, i recommend trying to get into boot and check for boot options, in parallel you also also try to live boot a lightweight linux distribution via an otg pendrive and check the internal storage.
there are also windows recovery tools you can try boot via an otg pendrive.
If the bios supports sd card as a boot device, you may try that instead of the pendrive.
I think its the ESC key on the keyboard to enter bios(ofcourse connect it to the only usb port as OTG)

Bricked Tablet

I really Need Help! My computer wont recognize my tablet in fastboot mode, and my tablet wont read my micro SD card, also when i turn it on normally it stays at splash screen and when its plugged in to the computer the computer starts installing the drivers and it fails to install each time. I go to troubleshooting options and it states code 10. which states device cannot start.
I Have looked for ways around this, like manually installing the drivers, and my computer wont let me. Also the tablet can go to both: bootloader, and Clockworkmod recovery.
I factory reset my tablet so I cannot install anything, untill i get it to connect to my computer.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my computer!
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Did you install the naked driver from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502 if not do that first once you get that working... then you should be able to fastboot to the pc... next thing I would concider is going to twrp recovery instead of cwm....either go for an older version or go the full gambit of nvflash then install the latest twrp... after that you should be set.....I can comment more on it if you need it....

What do you see in device manager with the tablet plugged into the pc and running in fastboot?
Maybe this helps
I had a similar issue but my tablet couldn't be identified by windows, at first i thought it was my drivers so i tried to install new ones but windows wouldn't let me stating the same code 10. At the end it was a defective usb cable, i bought a new one and everything worked all right the first time i plugged it in. And by the way i was stucked at the CWM loop. Hope this helps and sorry for my bad english.

Im not sure if it is a bad usb cable, i think it is my computer because my computer doesnt even recognize my iphone and i have itunes installed,
i think it is partially due to a funky computer for me.

[Q] No Rom, only CWM and ODIN help needed

Hello people,
Me and my friend kinda did something not really smart, I think it will be helpful to tell you the whole story.
We were planning on flashing a SGS2 which was already rooted to 4.0.3, however we did not have the CWM which had the install from sdcard option so we put the CWM 4 through ODIN, all good till now, however we forgotted that we did a format through the phone menu which as you probably already know wiped out our rom which was on the sdcard. At that time we had forgotten this small detail so we courageously pressed WIPE OUT EVERYTHING...
Our current situation - we have access to CWM and ODIN, however we do not know how to put a rom inside the sdcard, we tried through:
flashing a firmware rom through odin - flash completed, phone freezes on samsung logo - bootloop? (tried 2 firmwares actually)
adb push - problem - in recovery it does not find the phone, it finds the phone when in bootloop however we do not have access (read only) so the push fails
Any ideas how to fix this stupidity of ours would be greatly appreciated...
Regards!
hum.....how about more of that flashing via Odin?
Are you trying stock roms?
This could be useful.
Simple!
Either.....
1. Remove SD Card and plug it into a reader or adapter then copy the rom zip you want to flash.
2. Plug phone into PC via USB then boot into CWM and mount USB via Mounts and Storage and copy zip across.
Or if you want to flash a stock rom simply flash it via download mode with odin.
Thanks for the help everyone!
We managed to do it through push... seems like the USB cable also had some issues and thats the reason we couldnt do it before.
We did also try through the card reader but the phone did not want to recognize the existence of the card in CWM nor it wanted to mount the USB - I have no idea why...
I am glad it's over after a 5 hour struggle
Regards!

I tried to connect it to Computer via USB. apparently, WinXP cant not find the device or any USB device for that matter. But somehow when I hold. and press Back key and Power button, the device LED is on(means somehow alive) with a blank screen and WinXP find ?USB Device!(?)

You need a recovery specific to your device, provided you flashed it to the correct, i.e. recovery, partition.
thanks

The problem is that Window can not find my device. Sometimes it only appear as USB device and other times it doesn't recozniged at all. I tried updating ADB driver but that dont do any help...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1 try these.
also, "A. Install the drivers
1) Do not install the Samsung drivers or the pdanet drivers, or any other driver you come across. If you have, and you are SURE they are working properly, fine, leave them. Otherwise uninstall them if you are unsure;
2) Download the drivers from here;
3) Install the drivers. This step is the only part of the entire process that is not easy to explain, and may cause users some issues, depending on what drivers they had installed previously, what OS they are using, etc. etc. Bourne-nolonger has put together a very detailed step-by-step on how to install them. If you don't know how to install them, have a look at his post here. Note that the driver has to install twice: once when your device is booted normally (not required for this tutorial) with USB Debugging enabled in Settings, and once when your device is booted in fastboot (i.e., bootloader) mode (which is required for this tutorial). If you are using Windows 8, you will need to do this before installing the drivers."

USB is death!
hello again!,
I tried that and it does not work!
Computer can not even find my device.
When I plug in charger or USB cable,tab is light up and display iball logo and from there it stuck!
I mean it stuck forever!
What is APX mode?
Somehow when I press Menu and while still holding I pressed the power button simultaneously and my Computer Show "Unrecognized USB Device".
Please anyone help me. I dont even have the stock firmware to flash(if required) with!
Their Customer service is neglecting me and I'm really pisses!
Give me some light anyone
fastboot can not even open in my computer when I download and try to open! it said "can't find Winusbapi.dll"
while "winusbapi.dll" was in the same folder as the "fastboot.exe"!
I'm very new to this and it would be a great help if you can guide me to revive my only tablet!
After a little research, do you mean this recovery? [Not cwm at all] http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/35183-custom-recovery-for-c8a8m7/
Did you choose an option to flash it through partitions and storage menu? Did it allow you to back up your stock setup first (hopefully, if it is cwm-modeled)? If not, then I'm not sure I can help. Looks like your recovery is a recovery AND a kernel, packed into one [just leaned about this from a recent xda story]. I also found this: https://github.com/namko/midRecovery/downloads, with several other BETA versions. Maybe it would help you to google "iball slide". There is a stock 4.1.1 image on xda, which could also help. But overall, it looks like there is not much development for this device, and you should've researched the risks BEFORE tampering with your device!
p.s. I do not know what apx mode is. Also, is winusbapi.dll something that needs to be installed? Click it and see!
completely invisible to Computer.
Hi, can you show me the stock 4.1.1 image. I tried to find it but couldn't get it.
Please post a link here....
No, I did not flash with that modified recovery.
I'm. still amaze how a recovery.img can kill my tablet.
Im stuck in iBall logo. whenever I plug in tablet light up even if I switch it off before charging.
Window can only find my device as "Unknown USB Device ".
I updated ADB and still doesn't work.
I tried google and can not find anything other than piece by piece similarities.
all I want is to flash the stock recovery back!
I can not do it because my ADB is not recognizing my tablet!
I really appreciate your help though!

What ID "Unknown USB Device" in Device Manager?
I was wrong, it's an AOSP based rom; but it's a beta, and i will not recommend it, as it is probably quite far from stock. You didn't answer if that slate droid link is the recovery you took. That says it is not flashed, but rather externally booted.
This kind of recovery.img could kill a tablet in the following way: it looks as though these devices have both the kernel and the recovery together. [there's a recent xda article about a sony bootloader that addresses this.] If the kernel is bad, the device does not boot. Can you try a factory reset from your recovery's menu? So which recovery do you have, i.e. what does it say along the top?
can't see recovery menu

No, I did not flash with that recovery link you provided.
And I can not go beyond the "iBall" logo in the tab. So,no recovery menu. Also I tried all sort of Factory reset like "key" combination and "pinhole", none of them works!
can you help?

[Q] Flashed Pi****u on Android device, now its in bootloop

Hello,
Edit: First off sorry about the title it Pic Untu without the space I didn't realize it until I posted the question.
I have an android tv box. Model name is cs968 and it has RockChip rk3188, its rooted and i had cwm as recovery.
The device is also mentioned in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457778
I wanted to use a linux distro on it and came across a distro named Pic Untu ; (its not written separately but its getting censored otherwise same with the link below you have to delete the space between 'pic' and 'untu' sorry about that )
http://ubuntu.g8.net/index.php/14-sample-data-articles/86-pic untu-4-5-nand-released
Now I have successfully flashed it without having any problems. But it had no support for built-in wifi or bluetooth so i turned it off as you would a desktop computer ("shut down" from the start menu) and moved it close to a place where i can connect it to ethernet to see if ethernet works. But when I started the device again it stuck in boot loop.
The device is not recognized from windows or linux from adb (but it used to, I've flashed a custom ROM with rkbatchtool from windows, and could connect the device from ubuntu with adb). Also i cant flash it again from a flash drive or sdcard ( although it says it recognizes a usb device or an sd card when booting up).
The only other response i get from the device is that when i press and hold the reset button, it resets and stops booting with an empty screen( this would go to CWM when android was installed)
Last thing is, I have 2 of these devices one of them is untouched so if that helps i can maybe do a nandroid backup and flash it once the adb is working or something similar maybe.
I'm not sure what I can do at this point so any help/pointers is appreciated.
Thank You.

[Q] Tracer Ovo 2.0 bootloop and windows drivers problems

Hello. I've got a polish tablet Tracer Ovo 2.0 yesterday. Today I was trying to switch nand flash memory with sdcard in the vold.fstab file. Well, I screwed up something and now I have a bootloop on tablet's startup. I was trying to flash stock rom using Batch tool, but when I connect my tablet with pressing vol + button, Windows ( 8.1 ) can't detect this tablet propetly. It's driver comes up with 43 error, so I can't really install stock rom. Also, I can't install new drivers, because when I try to, Windows is saying that I have the latest drivers for this device (wut?). When I turn of my tablet without pressing vol + button, Windows is detecting this tablet as mass storage, but I can't really do anything with it, because of the tablet's bootloop. Is there any chance that I could flash the system, or get to the vold.fstab file using my pc and correct my mistake that I've done in that file? Please, help. I'm a big newbie and guides on the Internet can't really help me, since I can't install any drivers to this tablet now.
Oh, and I'm not afraid of my battery status - charging is working.
Sorry for my english, hope you'll come up with something and help me.
