All I wanted to do is go back to a stock rooted device with ext4 support.
I had Uruk 1.64 installed. All seemed to be working, but it was slugish on my 101 G8. So I reformated device, tried to drop in the latest AOS firmware from Archos and all I get is "Update Failed (1)". I removed the SDE, Formated Device and tried to install the firmware with the same message comming up. It automatically boots to the recovery menu now.
Is it normal to have to format the 101 with fat32 before I copy the new AOS? Whenever I "Update Firmware", it formats itself under the recovery menu then forces me to format it under Windows 7 x64 so I can copy the AOS firmware to the 101.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. (I have also removed the SD card and tried it that way as well)
Try to download the firmware again. This error is often caused by corrupted download.
Or by people that don't look for the right filename.
It really has to be "firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos" not "firmware_archos_android_gen8(1).aos" or anything else.
I already downloaded the image 3 times and renamed it proper (without the numbers)
Can't figure this one out
make sure you've downloaded firmware that matches your device, not 70b etc
I downloaded the firmware on the Archos site for "Archos 28/32/35/43/70/101 internet tablet". I have the G8 101 16gb
can you borrow an USB cable from a friend? maybe you've hit it somehow and it causes data loses. there 0.01% for it to happen. try to fit it well. out of ideas...
I will try a different computer and cable. I was able to copy files to the 101 however. I will give it a shot.
I think it has something to do with the Urukdroid installation on the MicroSD. I was not able to update the firmware; however, when I inserted the micro SD with Uruk on it, it booted back into Uruk. I have since formatted the MicroSD and now I can get nothing to work.
Tried a different computer, download and cable to no avail. Any suggestions?
Is it normal for Windows to format your 101's drive before it can mount it? It makes me do this everytime before I attempt to update the firmware.
SOLVED!!!!
Had to change the file type to "vfat" in the Format menu. I was able to then update the Firmware.
I have a Amlogic S805 Quad Core TV Box - which went "south" on me during a ROM update. I tried to reset it, but then noticed the reset button had come away from the internals. I managed to get it to the flash screen via SD Card, but it says it - "cannot be mounted, as the folders do not exist".
I think i have deleted the file structure - so i cant update, i need to fresh install it all !!!!!
How can I put the Android ROM onto the flash drive of this box - tried to connect via a USB lead - but my PC will not pick up the box at all.
I need to re-instate the original ROM on my TV Box, and need to know a way to connect to the box - or find out why the SD Card is failing to mount
Is there a tool that can take an image of an android device, as it is setup, Ideally a TV box and write it somewhere so that it can be loaded onto an SD card to flash a device it is inserted into and load it to be a clone of the master one?
Hello, I rooted my ICOO iCou D70G2 and managed to softbrick it into a loop at the Android messages. I bought another, identical tablet, and would now like to clone the new one into the old. I would very much appreciate complete, newbie level instructions on how this can be done.
Here is what I have tried so far.
I looked for a stock ROM for this device, but can't find one. The closest out there I could locate is for a D70Pro II. I don't know if it will work, and in any case, I still can't figure out how to flash the old tablet.
The old tablet does go into recovery mode using vol up and power. I tried putting the Pro II flash on the micro sd card (tried both img and zip, separate times), but the tablet isn't seeing the micro sd card in recovery mode with the update from sd card option. It shows a folder /sdcard with some seemingly empty subfolders, but even if I take out the micro sd card it shows the same set of folders and says choose a package.
I tried using the Intel USB drivers with adb, but the device isn't recognized in recovery mode by adb. Rockchip Batch Tools 1.8 also doesn't see the device, although it seems to load the ProII img file correctly.
It would be really great to get this old tablet to work. I don't have any CWM, TWRP or any other backup software on either device at this point. The new device is new from the box and not rooted.
Hi
Can't seem to update my MXQ PRO 4K. The reset button and SD card just boots into recovery and update via SD doesn't show any files. On the YouTube videos it automatically starts updating. Mine just goes into recovery. I burnt the SD card with the SD card making tool.
USB burning tool doesn't detect the device.
usb debugging on and unknown sources on.
Please help
Please don't say why do you want to update?. That doesn't help.

I have the same issue, did you manage to update your box, if yes, how?
thanks
