hi all,
I need to reinstall the firmware on an Archos 101 gen8 tablet. Seemed straightforward but now I'm stuck at the very last step:
1) download "firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos" from Archos homepage -> ok
2) boot into recovery menu -> ok
3) select "Update Firmware" -> ok
4) connect to PC via USB and copy "firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos" to A101IT -> ok
5) press "ok" on the A101IT to start update -> ok
But now I'm stuck: after step 5 the screen just shows "Please connect DC-in to update your device", even though the original power supply is connected. Disconnecting and reconnecting DC-in didn't help, and also an additional USB connection to the PC doesn't change anything. Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Georg
PS: I just checked the voltage of the power supply. The label says "5V / 2A", but I measure ~6V (without load). Is this normal and could this cause the problem? After all, the supply is almost 10 years old...
SOLVED
turned out that I had plugged the DC-in into the headphone socket! I really should go to bed...
Now everything works again

Click on "update firmware" and plug the USB cable in, when you can access the storage, copy this file into the archos. http://update.archos.com/8/gen8/gen8_2.3.26/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos

Try to redownload the firmware, corrupted file can be the cause of update failure. Also be sure to safely remove the device before starting the update.
You know how to get into recovery to update the firmware? Hold down the volume down button while starting your device. After a while a white screen should appear with your recovery menu. When that happens let go of the volume down button. Navigate with volume down-up and power to select.

Hello,
I have a Archos 101G9 turbo mt 250 HDD and have the problem that the operating system has gone on the tablet. Furthermore, lack the SDE menue, which was installed.
Unfortunately I can not install the latest firmware update, since my laptop does not recognize the Archos and I had accordingly no access via the ramdisk on the PC. What can I do to install resist the operating system? Thank you for your help in advance.
hello,
did you try this tip ?
you need download the last official firmware
The downloaded firmware appropriate for your device (named firmware_archos_it4.aos)
Entering in recovery mode
The tablet must be off (push the power button for 10 secs).
Plug the USB cable into the PC (do not plug into the tablet yet).
Press & hold Volume +
Now plug the USB lead into the tablet
A white boot menu should appear, you can release Volume +
Use the volume buttons to navigate and validate with ON/OFF
If you failed to access to the recovery menu, please start again from the beginning.
Formatting the tablet
Select "Format system" then validate
Select "Reformat Device..." then validate
Finally choose "I understand" and validate
Once the formatting is finished, paste the firmware from your computer to your device at the root, as show below and validate

Hi everyone, i ask for your help cause i have a common problem but the fixes i found in the forum didn't work for me: my ZenFone 5 stucks at "Asus" logo with a "loading loop" wheel below that.
I know this post may be long but i beg you to read all steps:
1) Phone stucks at logo, but could enter recovery (pressing vol + down), i've updated it via external SD card (official firmware but didn't work) then i've wiped data and did a factory reset. Phone still stucks at logo.
2) Now i can't even enter recovery mode... when pressing vol + down it shows 2 options but whatever i choose the phone reboots. If i press vol + up it says "CSC mode, long press power to restart. Phone still stucks.
3) Now (after some time) the phone's screen doesn't show anything, nor charging icon or notification led when recharging, but strangely the computer recognizes it as a device when connected via USB cable, and the led turns on when i do this.
A friend told me to follow a guide that says to install "Intel Soc USB driver", i did that. After installing, when connecting the device, 2 things should pop up in Device Mangager under "Intel Soc": CloverviewPlus Device and Intel Soc USB Driver... but the second one doesn't show to me
I've also tried Asus flashtool guide... at step 4 it says to click in the box icon and choose the firmware RAW file, so i've downloaded a raw firmware for the ZenFone 5, but oddly it doesn't let me choose any raw file.
Note: the phone is recognized by the pc as "QHSUSB_BULK", so i've tried to update its driver with qualcomm drivers, and now it's recognized as "Qualcom MMC Usb storage device". But i think i've did a wrong thing cause my friend told me i should have choosed some kind of official driver
Thanks in advance for your help
Hi,
My M4 won't recognized in MTP mode.nothing happens when i connect the cable,just charging mode(Not asking to choose between charging mode and MTP)
today I wanted to flash a new firmware (E2333,UB,usb debugging on). But I cant come to Fastboot/Flashmode . In Windows a message comes, which says that the device get not fully detected. On the device manager I get "device not recognized" and the hardware id is USB\CONFIG_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE or USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE. I also followed the guide the, but without luck: http://troubleshooter.xyz/wiki/fix-u...equest-failed/. And drivers are for sure installed (also installed at least Xperia Companion)
I'm sure of drivers bcuz other phones do ok with drivers and get into flash mode without problem.
also tried different cables and computers.
Even replaced whole micro usb socket with a new one but nothing changed!
I did:
... power off -> hold volume down + plug usb -> "device not recognized" and red led and sony logo then gets into charging screen
... power off -> hold volume up + plug usb -> device not recognized" and red led and sony logo then gets into charging screen
... power off -> hold volume up (and also a try with vol up+down) + power till the 3 times vibration comes. but after that it also not boot into flashboot/fastboot.
... wiped the data/internal partitions from recovery -> same like before
Finally wiped system partition and installed PexoRom system.img from TWRP's Terminal,after boot nothing changed!!!:crying:
Any idea what is wrong with my M4 ?
It's very often when one of two ram is not working.
I mean it's a hardware problem. Are you able to check in settings how much ram shows ?
If something like 883mb,if Im right then you have to buy new motherboard.
Hi,
maybe one of the experts can help...
I have a LEMAX2 with X820_20S_ROW_CUOCO92 ROM.
Since half a year or so the USB-Connection to the PC does not work anymore. Tried several cables and several PCs, no change.
I can boot the phone in RECOVRY Mode, but it It shuts itself off immediately.
I can enter fastboot mode, but the phone is still not recognized by the PC.
When I connect the phone via MyPhoneExplorerClient, WLAN works, but MyPhoneExplorerClient says 'USB-Cabel 'Not conneced.'
When I unplug and re-plug the USB-Cable, for a short time MyPhoneExplorerClient says 'USB-Cabel 'conneced', but no setting option for USB configuration can be found and after a second or so MyPhoneExplorerClient shows 'USB-Cabel Not conneced' again.
I tried to find out how to change or repair the firmware but all howtos require a USB Connection.
Mayby I accidentaly removed some system software responsible for the USB Connection?
Any idea?
