Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
If yes you can try to install a recovery by using adb.You can find the correct partition and install it with dd command from root shell.If you have a working shell give those commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mtd
If the last command doesn't work try this:
Code:
cat /proc/emmc
After that copy paste everything it prints.
Check here how to make the proccess right.
You can find a twrp recovery here and a cwm recovery here.
Since i just found some request about rooting and custom recovery of C variante of Archos 50 platinum on xda. I decided to make a thread which works with both variantes 8 or 16GB and all firmware.
I installed TWRP 2.8.7 from Source
to a device with firmware:
Code:
[email protected]
Build fingerprint: archos/SCAC50CPL/ac50cpl:5.1/LMY47D/20151116.140537:user/release-keys
Platform: armeabi-v7a, 32-bit binary
and to a 2. device
[email protected]m
Today i saw, it seems like Archos provide two firmware for the SC7731g Euphoria or
Mesarthim (OTA pac download see below). Run firmware check OTA update 2x befor rooting to get latest - V05.
Firmware checkbox:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

Mesarthim firmware
Root + TWRP via adb
To flash recovery >
Note: Install custom recovery delete all data on you storage so backup 1st. Maybe remove sd-card.
Enable developer option (tick ~10 times in system setting on build-number)
In developer option allow OEM-unlock and usb-debugging
Connect device to you pc in debugging mode (requires installed driver on pc)
On pc run fastboot (adb) and flash recovery
with following commands:
Code:
adb devices
press enter
now you see device port damones running
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
press enter
archos turns off
Code:
fastboot devices
press enter
archos boot into fastboot mode = black screen
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
press enter
wait till all files are transfered
# Now you can reboot into TWRP by press power and volume +
# downloaded recovery has to be in minimal adb fastboot floder

If you done setup on your device, save a full backup with twrp
Driver and tools:
Keep in mind you have to install needed debugg usb-driver and fastboot (adb)
or use other tools as SPD upgrader tool + SpreadTrum driver.
Fastboot installer and driver:

Fastboot as Live boot image
With twrp you can now install latest superuser to manage superuser authorization or xposed.
uninstalled superSU, now i use magisk
Switched back to supersu less bugs with xposed. The patched boot.img can be used to enable root if Archos update firmware
Do not blame me for any damage while installation
If you get into trouble booting your device. You can try
1. a) fully power it off by press Power off 10sec. or b) remove battery.
2. Copy V05 or V08 update.zip depents on your installed firmware to your Archos and reinstall firmware by apply message if usb is unplugged. Any flashable .zip get auto detected and became deleted from internal storage if not orginal.
3. flash update.zip via fastboot mode. (in case bootloop you maybe fastboot via button on boot into bootloader or adb)
4. flash stock rom pac file from update.zip to Spreadtrum Chip device via factory downloder +(driver) Download extract pac from .rar part 1 part 2
5. now you can flash via twrp my aroma rom if any needed stock app is missing. (see 2. post)
6. Flash v05 stock recovery = unroot
7. restore TWRP back ) if you did not do that 1st (o:
Inizialize twrp or superuser first time maybe take up to a minute and a reboot
Alternative way to get root & twrp:
Not test by myself but seems to work:
1.
a) Kingroot (to manage superuser authorization = root)
b) Flashify (to install twrp)

Today i wasted a lot time by try to flash a stock rom to SC7731g device. Now i got it :cyclops:
Chip can be checked under settings / about phone / Baseband version /

If you are new to customize device and you just finish rooting maybe skip aroma installation
take a breath and backup phone!
Here my TWRP flashable aroma installer for you.
Video https://youtu.be/soFEBiRr8KY
Additional tools can be selected to keep your stock customized Aroma rom works with touch menu (did not as i used ASSAYYED kitchen).
Note: Installing apps via aroma zip to your device take 2-3min. till all installation is done. So wait till you can unlock screen, after reboot. It´s fast as installing all apps via apk and much faster as flashing a orginal firmware!!!
To prevent automatic earse of flashable update.zip from internal storage keep usb connected till you flashed files with TWRP or rename zip - like .zi -can be renamed with TWRP for flashing. Usually no wipe needed.

Now i got my doubts on a Mediatek chip on AC50CPl as written in 4pda thread, only two V05 firmware^^
After a websearch i saw Archos 50b Platinum use Mediatek MT6582 but not c variante
Other smartphones with SC7731g and same hardware: Archos 55 platinum, Archos 55b Platinum, Gigabyte gsmart classic joy
Mediatek MT6582 = archos 50 b platinum
use unofficial cyanogenmod and CWM PhilZ Touch 6.59.x or else.
You are new to flashing rom? Make full backup with TWRP & Titanium Backup to prevent yourself lossing any data
You like to mod the aroma feel free to share :fingers-crossed:
Opening a AC50CPL battery
Two days ago i "opened" a BSE70I battery as you can see in attached pictures. I like to run my Archos without battery since it seems like i´ve kind of blown usb port. Charge do not work since i used a 2000mAh (+1A) on it. It is showning charge but don´t.
edit:
Today i was thinking about my accu problem. Finally i note my old powerbank simply do not provide enough power. Then i used 3 batteries LR6 (AA) connected in series with success.
Be careful if you handle accu in a non supposed way. Good chance of getting smoke or fire!
Archos 50cpl
Hello pls I was directed to come here to make any complaints to seek help.please am really confused the problem is I installed the twrp file in my phone and rebooted it and my phone won't go back how it was. so it's still going to take me to the twrp custom recovery if I switch on and off so please what is the next thing and what am I to do next please can someone tell me??
Welcome blossomunuagba,
usually you can boot from TWRP into sytem...
If this is not working you can use recover backup in TWRP if dumped befor. If you did no backup you maybe lucky and wipe option works to enable boot system. If you still fail you maybe use the aroma-rom but you have to know what files you have to replace to minimize lost data, etc. maybe you are lucky. In privat you already told me you cann´t make your phone boot the system by flashing aroma.
If you did not wipe everything you still can make a backup to prevent data lose
My sugguest:
1) full flash firmware .pak file with factory download tool. Fix 100% likely !!!
2) Not sure which tools you used to install TWRP. You can replace custom recovery with stock recovery which maybe fix a corrupt recovery. Use same tool as you used to flash twrp or use install image option of twrp
3) ..last but not least maybe flash supersu.zip or xposed sdk since you wrote you tried to install aroma. Both zip files must be installed befor install the full aroma.
Here latest xposed sdk zip:
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/xposed-v88.2-sdk22-arm.zip from http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/
If you use "magisk" you have to use another xposed.zip
In hope way 2 or 3 make your phone load the system.
Attached stock recovery so you can easy go back to stock
Archos 50c platinum
hello thanks for the reply it was helpful my phone is back and running although I have one more issue that's installing the twrp file on my phone the first alternative you gave is abit confusing but the second alternative looks easier that's (kingroot + flashify) I made an error some where and that lead to the issue I had with my phone..pls u said that u have not tested the second alternative I will be more grateful if you do that an explain in details if possible make a video so that others also facing this challenge can benefit from it. thank you:cool

I have to fully unroot my Archos to make such a video. Sorry i do not like to do so. Maybe if you use to go alternative way record and share
For sure you find a lot video showing how to use kingroot or flashify. Afaik if kingroot is used it install an alternativ superuser app which can be replaced with e.g. supersu. but if you have set up fastboot should be better to go on that..my opinion.
Basicly it seems you replaced stock-recovery, so just do it in the way with TWRP- recovery.img. Thinking you it already installed TWRP with success but you messed up aroma installation.
I´m sure about the point you stack at the moment but nice to see your phone is running again proper.
There are two other ways to get root / custom recovery
1. Flash a patched boot.img (magisk patch boot.img which can be used to root if twrp gets incompatible)
2. a) Replace trwp (recovery.img) inside stock-rom and flash recovery by factory downloder.
2. b) patched boot.img can be too
#today i flashed twrp recovery with SPD-tool but you know this factory reset phone (was helpful to fast recover a upper firmware backup)
The attached Magisk boot.img can be used if TWRP need to be updated. So we already got SU-permission on Anroid 6 and up
Debloat and silent systemsounds, camera click sounds - replacement.
example Camera_click.ogg

small download: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4396959

Did you know you can remove a lot more files in system? Files in following folders about 100mb extra space:
- system/preloadimage/
- system/preloadmp3/
- system/preloadmp4/
Also possible to remove "all" alarms, notififcation and ringtones. Just set an audio from sdcard befor delete
You can remove (debloat) more from root system folder. Uninstall bloat system apps with titanium backup or es explorer but becareful!
Additional i like to suggest more apps to install yourself to your phones.
######## xposed modul to clean recent app list #######
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/recent-app-cleaner-v2-0-t2734053
install, activate, reboot, start once and give SU permission
1. I use Whatscall, Dington, TalkU to make "free" phone call. You pay by watch ads. Whatscall is good to get fast free credits. TalkU and Dington are pretty similar. Autor is "our" phone manufactur Cheetah.
Benefit you can make real phone-call via wifi, safe expensive calls, etc.
If you have no playstore running you get less ads = less credits!
I use them since one year no problems. Me tested other "free" call/sms apps but did not find better once. Please no referal request!
2. shake2safety
Now i use it to enable emergency call by quickly press 4 times Power button. It can be enabled by shake also. That is a feature of new IOS as well as Samsung Galaxy. The benefit is you can automatic call even is screen is broken, eye or finger issue, else.
You can test your setup by automatic call friends number to prevent by mistake calling emergency
Only sms is working if not installed via playstore :/
** For location please keep your GPS on. When there is no Wi-Fi, GPS or mobile data then no location goes with the message/picture. Also it gives your last location if GPS is off.

So go and install that app!!! Alternative maybe SOS Stay Safe
Me also like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton to enable flashlight by hardware button
edit: Started use s8+ launcher to unlink media volume via its sidebar
Alternative you can use quick volume contol
or maybe com.bhanu.androidpvolumeslider aka com.bhanu.volumebutton
Sadly not working this xposed modul (v1.6) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-ringer-notification-volume-unlink-t2416768
Today i found BUSH AC50CPL looks 100% same as our archos maybe possible to use parts & TRWP on it or at least easy build a port
Also had to flash pac once again. Always used BSE70I today i failed then used BSE70M pac with success. By the way i seems on SPD-tool v2 you hold volume down button while plug usb to enable downloading, on v19 you have to power up device and hold volume down button.
Hi there,
I have recently installed a Magisk Module on my successfully rooted phone that so far didn't display any problems until I enabled said module (this one: Pix3lify, sorry can't post links)
Now it's stuck in a bootloop and I dont know how to recover my data from this position. I do know how to reinstall the stock rom and re-root just fine, I dont need help with recovery. What I do really wish is to backup some files from the user data partition.
I don't know how to do this as I never been in this position and before I spend all day trying to recover it I was wondering if you guys maybe know a way to do it, if possible at all.
I have access to:
- Fastboot
- Recovery (the BlackView Recovery ROM, no TWRP, couldn't find an image that runs. However, I do have access to `fastboot boot` to flash any image)
- SP Flash tools
As is expected, the device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. I just want my data if it's possible. If not, I'll just recover using the method that will remove all data, sadly...
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I decided to swallow my loss and install the stock rom since nobody replied yet, however, I did make a full backup of my ROM (especially userdata) and I now can see the filesystem inside WWR_MTK, but I can't read /data because it's encrypted (but I know the password) my new question therefore is if i can open up this image still. Thanks in advance!
Disclaimer: I am not an android developer an I am not responsible for bricking your device. The forums contain instructions for unbricking and reflashing your device. You have been warned.
Ok folks I am new here. I spent countless hours trying to debloat the moto e5 play (android oreo 8.1 go). Many headaches and sleepless hours later I finally figured things out the painful way.
Firstly you need to flash twrp recovery. Please see the attached recovery img. There are many recovery images available on the internet but i have found that this one works for me. You must download the correct image/zip for your device or else you will end up in a bootloop. Also you must flash the recovery imag as follows:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (using fastboot Tools).
Just create a folder and copy the image file in it and unzip your fastboot tools in the folder you created. Then open a command window in the folder and with your device in fastboot mode go ahead and flash the recovery.
Secondly You need to install either supersu or magisk to root. I prefered magisk and you can find and download the latest magisk on the internet as well as the updated magisk zip files. Any of the latest magisk 8.0 should work.
Thirdly you should install kingoroot (Not kingroot). Kingoroot seems to be the only one click root app that works on this device. Grant it superuser rights and start uninstalling google apps of your choice (again I will not attach the kingoroot I used. You can google it).
Please note that if you uninstall google completely some apps such as google contacts, calender and youtube will crash. You will see the updated date and time on your phone but you will be unable to save things in the calender as when google was installed. If you want you can uninstall google play services and reinstall a different version of google play services which is compatible with android oreo 8.1 go. then use kingoroot to uninstall calender and contacts and find a compatible version. You should install youtube vanced instead although at this time i am unable to get vanced sign in with microg to work.
You can also uninstall stock youtube and look for a compatible version. I tried installing xposed installer on the E5 bot it causes the device to bootloop no matter which version I tried. I installed TAI CHI xposed but I can't understand chinese so it didnt work for me. Only virtual xposed works but the Aurora store does'nt work.
If anyone else can get a working version of microg and xposed to work I would be so thankful. I have'nt found any custom roms for the E5 but i am always on the lookout.
PS: If you reflash your entire stock rom and you are unable to get a carrier signal and then download another rom from lolinet (I think that is the place I downloaded the stock ROM) and unzip on your pc. Unzip adb and fastboot into the folder where you unzipped the rom. Flash as follows:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fatboot flash NON-HLOS.bin
No need to reflash the whole ROM just these. That should work.

maybe you can help me my equipment is a moto e5 play xt1920-19 pettyl
although I have a recovery 3.3.1.0 that I downloaded from here on this forum.
but I have not been able to install custom rooms and I think it is the recovery.
when I make a backup of everything and
when I want to restore it, everything is lost and it starts only from the beginning as if it were formatted. and also and noticed that the internal memory is not read by the recovery.
Could you help me or at least guide me?

Strange. It works perfectly on my device. The only roms i flashed was magisk repo and viperfx and they both work very well. I am running android 8.1 go edition. I havent found any custom roms for the devicesuch as lineage OS etc. Development is very slow for this device. You may only be able to flash magisk modules. Also I assume you are using the original stock rom the device came with and it hasnt been altered with a rom from a similar spec device . There are many variants of the E5 play and you need to be sure your device hast the correct firmware.

What are you trying to flash? I havent seen any custom ROM OS for this model. You can modify by replacing google apps and install magisk and so on but there are no custom ROMs available for XT1920-19 at the moment.
So, this is the first time I'm installing a custom rom and I was following along with this guy:
(I found the xda steps to be too confusing to follow) and everything was going just fine until around the 5.20 min mark where after flashing TWERP on the device through Odin I was supposed to press the volume - & the power key to restart the device and as soon as the device went black I was supposed to then press volume + & the power key which I did but then I got this: (attachment)
(btw, even when I don't press the volume + & power key afterwards I get the same result)
Can this still be fixed or have I bricked my device?
Hi @Winter413
I found a wonderful description on the installation of TWRP here .... maybe it's easier to follow though it's for the 8.
Just read the whole story .... your troubles while installing TWRP are not at all new.
It's a kind of trick which you learn as soon as you want to root your phone, or want a good user friendly recovery backup app.

Hi @xabu
First I'd like to greatly apologise you for answering so late. I did not mean to be rude I just didn't want to reply with "ok, I'll be working on it than" & I actually wanted to get something done first. I decided to do things that way becouse I thought that I'll find some time to do this rather soon however unexpected things happened that kept me from doing it but now I have some time & have done something in this regard so enough of my excuses let's get to what I did & what I want to ask you about:
So first I went onto the s8 thread you suggested & I flashed vbmeta_disabled & to my suprise when I restarted again & pressed volume up + power it actually booted into TWRP "and relief washed over me in an awesome wave" but then I went on to get lineage os on it and it doesn't show up in TWRP. I have also gotten some other stuff (magisk & a few files from NanoDroid) & those show up just fine. I got the file from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-16.x/
& the link I got from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-gsi-guide-lineage-os-a10-a105f.4078093/
& as far as I'm concerned that is the only thread about lineage os on this phone on xda so that doesn't work I guess.
I have also tried this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/4w6vaq4lu2tbjfj/lineage-17.0-20200110-UNOFFICIAL.zip/file
& this: https://mega.nz/file/gw4QTYSS#IqqswGusWIW5l10LyvSfmtVUoE4gqn6_g6jywH96Z5Q
& got this:
(I've done these sequentially but I hope that doesn't make any functional difference however one important thing is the first one goes 'till the first "done" and the second one is the rest. You surely could figure that out by yourself but I wrote this just for clarity's sake.)
P.S. I know that both of the error messages I got seem to refer in one way or another to the fact that I'm not using an sd card for this operation, however as far as I'm concerned it should also be possible to install lineage os to the internal storage of the phone & that is what I want to achieve with this.
P.S. 2
I forgot to mention that I obviously wiped everything properly before trying to install lineage os so that's not the problem.
Hi Winter ,
it's important to check if you found the right version of TWRP:
Samsung Galaxy A10

twrp.me
every other version might get you in trouble.
And then: there is still no official LineageOS for the A10 (this gives problems too)

with many good ideas.
Whatever:
I learned that LineageOS should be installed before other additions like Magisk and G-apps. Do this from internal storage and not from an external sd-card.
In TWRP we always make a Zip queue before installing but always starting with the OS or ROM.
You should be successful now you experienced how to install TWRP.
Always check for the right version or ask in the threads.
Thanks for coming back to me though I just wanted to help you
with installing TWRP and I don't have a A10 at my disposal.
Sincerely @xabu
Ps: I saw that you had courage enough to experiment. Be careful but go for it.
Hi @xabu
So as I mention I made it work by flashing this file through odin while in dowload mode & then restarting & pressing the volume up + power buttons which was supposed to take me to twrp & it did & twrp for me seems to be working just fine so I'm a little hesitant to try & install some different version of it but if you think that's the issue than I will try installing those other versions.
As soon as you are in TWRP and it functions fine, then just look to it's version and go to the link which I gave you for the newest version of TWRP for the A10.
"
If you intend to root your (a10) device, be advised that Magisk will be installed to the recovery partition, not the usual boot partition. Both TWRP and Magisk-rooted Android boot using the recovery kernel, with the device's hardware keys used to choose between TWRP and Android at boot time.
You are therefore strongly advised to first root your device with Magisk and then pre-root a TWRP image before flashing it to recovery. The usual path of installing TWRP prior to rooting is problematic on this device, because the Magisk installer does not support installation to recovery from TWRP. Furthermore, prior rooting of the device with Magisk carries the significant advantage of disabling various device protection mechanisms that you will otherwise need to take care of manually."
In this website the instructions about flashing TWRP to your device goes further .... so try to understand it step by step.
If you want to install Magisk, then you should know that from some weeks ago, Magisk started a complete new life with new important instructions: look here:
[Discussion] Magisk - The Age of Zygisk.
This is a discussion and help thread for the newer versions of Magisk. The main goal of this thread is to help users migrate to Magisk v24+ SafetyNet Basic integrity Pass CTS profile match Pass Play Protect certification Device is certified...

As you can see .... there is a lot to do and to learn.
Hope you'll enjoy it like your
"and relief washed over me in an awesome wave"
no one could have said it better .
PS:
Flashing TWRP without first flashing a vbmeta image with verity disabled will render your device unable to boot.
is especially for your kind of device and certainly not in general.
Alright, so I checked my twrp version with your link & I have the latest one so everything is fine. I also got lineage os 18.1 & it seems to have installed just fine. So now it's time for Magisk. So first I'm also kinda following this guide:
& Wolfgang recommends to not only install the .zip file but also Magisk manager & I couldn't find any link to download it.
"The usual path of installing TWRP prior to rooting is problematic on this device, because the Magisk installer does not support installation to recovery from TWRP" so does that mean that I have to go back to the download mode & from there flash the root file in odin & then install magisk.apk like here?:
2. flash root file:
enter download mode ( see instructions above here )
flash the file in Odin ( choose PDA, select the file and the start )
3. install magisk:
install magisk.apk (download link above here > and then follow the instructions in the app (the app will ask once for reboot).
Also, If you're curious, the "and relief washed over me in an awesome wave" is an almost direct quote (I only changed "washes" to "washed") from my favourite movie - American Psycho.
@xabu
If you liked my previous post, does that mean that I should do the steps I mentioned?
Dearest @Winter413 ....
No, this does not mean that you should do the steps mentioned.
Again read the instructions on the official TWRP where they help you with Magisk. You can always upgrade the moment all works.
I'm not familiar enough with your device. All is working here on the S7.
A complete different device as I noticed while studying your situation.
My like also shows my admiration for your courage to root your phone and try out how to go further and further.
Ps: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v24.1
What about Magisk Manager? Do I need that?
And also this :
2. flash root file:
enter download mode ( see instructions above here )
flash the file in Odin ( choose PDA, select the file and the start )
3. install magisk:
install magisk.apk (download link above here > and then follow the instructions in the app (the app will ask once for reboot).
Is from this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-gsi-guide-lineage-os-a10-a105f.4078093/#post-82196787
So that's why I asked where or not I should back off to the download screen and flash the root.

Yes you need the new Magisk manager. If you want a rooted phone.
But as I told you....Magisk is changed maybe a month ago .... this means totally new instructions ... so keep this in mind while working with older instructions.
And also regarding the root - If I've gone this far than I might as well go further & attain some more control over my device & also learn a bit about how computers work along the way. This is definitely not the last project of this kind that I'll be doing. I'm already running Pop os on my main computer instead of windows (however I did use windows for this whole process as Odin is unfortunately unavailable for linux). For now I'm also very very slowly learning javascript (I'll try to pick up the pace cuz it's really bad) & once I buy myself a new computer I'll try installing arch on it & using that as my daily driver & yeah, further carrer routes in IT & such are definitely also something that I'll be looking into so while pretty inconmpetent I'm not afraid to play around with computers.
Alright than. If everything is different about Magisk now than I will definitely look into how to properly install both Magisk.zip & Magisk Manager.
So I must admit I haven't looked to much into rooting yet & it seems that It is not required to install a custom rom, however this sounds pretty cool:
Advantages of rooting include the possibility for complete control over the look and feel of the device. As a superuser has access to the device's system files, all aspects of the operating system can be customized with the only real limitation being the level of coding expertise. mmediately expectable advantages of rooted devices include the following:
1. Support for theming, allowing everything to be visually changed from the color of the battery icon to the boot animation that appears while the device is booting, and more.
2. Full control of the kernel, which, for example, allows overclocking and underclocking the CPU and GPU.
3. Full application control, including the ability to fully backup, restore, or batch-edit applications, or to remove bloatware that comes pre-installed on some phones.
4. Custom automated system-level processes through the use of third-party applications.
5. Ability to install software (such as Xposed, Magisk, SuperSU, BusyBox, etc.) that allows additional levels of control on a rooted device or management of root access.

Yes learn about the denylist and Zygisk !
So from my understanding currently the steps left are:
1. installing Magisk.zip & Magisk Manager
2. Installing NanoDroid
3. & perhaps locking my bootloader afterwards to make my device more secure? (I think that's something that should be done but correct me If I'm wrong)
& then I can finally start using my phone on Lineage os, right?
