Hi all. Looking for a tool - a program which will restore the system in my Archos 70 IT. Urukdroid I installed 1.6 and I want to return to the original rom regaining a place in the internal memory because even after uninstalling Urukdroid not release the memory space that it occupied. I am interested in a tool that can restore the system when the tablet is not included. Can anyone help me. Thank you in advance.
Forgive my poor English.
1. download latest firmware from archos.com
2. reboot into recovery (powen on + hold down "vol down")
3. recovery -> repair/format -> reformat device (sry not really sure how the menus are called exactly) THIS WILL DELETE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR DEVICE AND RECREATE PARTITIONS
4. u will be asked for the previously downloaded firmware file (upload via usb connection and w8 for flash)
5. you are done - your device will we ini original state wiht latest firmware
The only sentence I don't get is:
I am interested in a tool that can restore the system when the tablet is not included
what do u mean by?
But I think u should be fine with the method described above. Since all partitions will recreated and formated u got the original stock stettings after.
FrEcP Thank you for your response. To return to the way I read the original system. Is there a program like that can save RKAnoid archos 7 for my 70IT?
wow - it's really hard to understand you
Maybe write in in your own language and try using google translate after.
I know google is not perfect either - but it's understandable most time.
Do u search for some backup program to save your data and apps before u wipe your system? Then u may try something like TitaniumBackup
If u meant RKAndroid wich is described here:
This software is for the Archos7 (home tablet) wich was a gen6 device as far as I know. The gen8 (Archos 70IT) doesn't need it for flashing the firmware.
Are u sure u have a gen8 device or is it the old gen6 archos7?
PS: next time please dont post in development section of this forum. And open those threads in "app" or "general" secion
Delete me

I'm adept enough and have modded systems before, but I don't really have the time to research all the info...
Basically, I'm offering $$$ to an 'expert' to handhold me via Skype, Google+ or whateva through installing a custom rom/kernel on my tab.
It's an Acer Iconia A500, 8gb.
I downloaded the OTA 4.0.3 update and rooted via Blackthund3r 1-click (with only the default option checked).
So at this point, I have full root and gather that I (at least) need to, in some particular order:
1) Install Clockwork Recovery
2) Backup ROM and/or whatever else
3) Clean install, full wipe, format
4) Install a custom ICS bootloader
5) Install custom ROM/kernel
I'd also like to extend the main partition onto SD (as much as poss... 1 gb?).
I've hit up a few ppl on Craigslist to try getting it done, but out of 4, 3 never got back to me and the 4th claimed there was a 50/50 chance of bricking. For personal reasons, this particular tab is very important to me and taking ANY chance on bricking w/o being able to recover is a deal killer. But with that said, this and other forums make it seem completely stable if done correctly. If any gurus wanna make a few bucks, pls PM me.
Also - I was leaning toward the Lightspeed ROM... anyone have an opinion on this vs. others?
THX!

Will do it for free knowledge is free there is always going to be a chance of bricking but not 50/50 just make sure you have a full back up and you cpuid......personally ide go with flex reapers but that's just me pm me if you want help as for the extending the main partition im not sure i know you could soft mod it so you micro SD card become your internal and your default download place on honeycomb...hope this helps

u, sir, rawk
If you have full root then your pretty much done, just go to the market and install Acer recovery tool. There is a topic about in the apps section

Little in-depth information about Android. Must Read. Thank You Pirateghost.
ADB → Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device..
Android →Unveiled on 5 November 2007, Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel developed by Google.
AOSP → Android Open Source Project
Apps2SD → Move applications from the internal NAND memory on the device to a removable SD Card.
BLN → BackLight Notification
Bloatware → Software bloat is a process whereby successive versions of apps include an increasing proportion of unnecessary features that are not used by end users, or generally use more system resources than necessary, while offering little or no benefit to its users. Like all the crap that comes from At&t
Brick → When used in reference to consumer electronics, "brick" describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware). This usage derives from the fact that some electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) are vaguely brick-shaped, and so those which do not function are useful only as actual bricks. The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my phone when I tried to modify its firmware."[
Hard Brick → When your phone does not turn on at all. When you can’t get in to CWR/CWM Or Stock recovery. You are basically screwed.
Soft Brick → When your phone bootloops. When you can get into CWR/CWM. When You can use jigtag to get into download mode.
Busybox → BusyBox provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable. It runs in a variety of POSIX environments such as Linux, Android, FreeBSD and others, such as proprietary kernels, although many of the tools it provides are designed to work with interfaces provided by the Linux kernel. It was specifically created for embedded operating systems with very limited resources. Platforms counterparts, but they are pretty close and useful nonetheless.
CWR OR CWM ClockworkMod Recovery →A custom recovery for Android phones and tablets that allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery.
DEODEX → Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace file (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
Flashing → The process of applying a firmware image (or ROM) to a device. It generally entails a very specific order of steps. Failing to complete any one of these steps properly may result in bricking the device.
Firmware → is a term often used to denote the fixed, usually rather small, programs and/or data structures that internally control various electronic devices. Programs stored in the ROM, EPROM, or flash memory that usually control various internal electronic devices (Hard Drives, Keyboards, Displays, etc). Firmware is typically 'fixed' software that is not updated in consumer devices, however it is often updated (or 'flashed') by advanced users to fix bugs or add features to the device. Flashing firmware designed for one device onto a different device, or not following a specific procedure while flashing will often render the device unusable.
Kernel → is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components
Radio → The cellular radio on the device which needs control software called firmware to control it.
ROM → Read Only Memory. In the context of an Android device, ROM is the internal flash memory where the core operating system resides. It can also refer to a specific version firmware that can be applied to a device through a process usually referred to as flashing. An improperly flashed ROM can often brick the device, rendering it unusable.
Superuser→ A program, which gives unlimited access privileges to perform any or all operations on the operating system.
ODIN → Odin is the Samsung software used to update Samsung phones. It does not work with any other devices other than official Samsung phones.
OTA or FOTA → (F)OTA stands for (Firmware) Over The Air and is the process by which required updates and enhancements to your phone's basic operating system can be sent to you through the cellular network. The Galaxy S II software update will be sent via FOTA and is available through Samsung Kies mini.0
ODEX → In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
SDK → Software Development Kit.
Logcat → A debugging tool built into Android devices that displays system logs as they occur. See Logcat.
NANDroid → A set of tools that will enable anyone who has root on their Android device to make FULL system backups, in case something goes wrong or you want to try out that new experimental ROM/theme. NANDroid will backup (and restore) /system, /data, /cache, and /boot partitions.
Recovery Mode → A special environment that you can boot into for troubleshooting and upgrading purposes.
Kang → The process of creating a code based of someone else's code or reapplying code that someone else created into your own code (e.g. git cherry-pick)
Rooting → is a process that allows users of mobile phones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on some devices.
HOW TO ROOT YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII I9300
Step 1. Download Odin3.07 from HERE
Step 2. Power off your Galaxy S3. Then hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together until you see the warning screen.
Step 3. Hit Volume Up button to enter Download mode and connect a microUSB cable from your Galaxy S3 to your computer.
Step 4. Next, download GalaxyS3RootNew.zip, unzip the files and run odin3.07.exe by double-clicking on the file.
Step 5. When ODIN program opens, you should find a highlighted yellow box with a random COM number. If you don’t see this, download and install Samsung USB drivers below:
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
Step 6. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE, hit “PDA” button and select the file CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.
Step 7. Hit “Start” button. This will install ClockworkMod Recovery on your Galaxy S3 i9300. If you get stuck on this step, just try a different USB port.
Step 8. Once ODIN is done flashing, you will see “PASS!” in green highlighted box.
Step 9. Your Galaxy S3 will reboot once into CWM Recovery and automatically install root and Superuser app.
Step 10. Once your phone reboots, you will find an app called “SuperSU”, this is your superuser app.
Step 11. Download and install Titanium Backup app from Play Store to verify you have root, a Superuser request window should pop up.
That’s it! This should take you less than 5 minutes to do and does not affect your phone in any way but give you Superuser, root, and custom ClockworkMod Recovery.
I highly recommend you to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and make your first backup ROM at this point, which will save everything including the stock ROM, your apps and settings.

HOW TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP
Step 1. We will first reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery by holding down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 10 seconds.
Step 2. Once in ClockworkMod Recovery on your rooted Galaxy S3, choose “backup and storage”.
Step 3. You will have an option to “backup” or “backup to internal storage”. The first option will backup to your microSD card while the latter to the internal storage.
Step 4. Your rooted Galaxy S3 should now be backing up. Backing up ROM takes 5-10 minutes so go ahead and get your cup of coffee and come back.
HOW TO RESTORE FROM A BACKUP
Step 1. To restore ROM, simply use the same “backup and restore” menu then choose “restore” or “restore from internal sdcard” depending on where you backed up your ROM.
That was easy right?
So, don’t delay and make a backup ROM if you just rooted your phone, you will thank me later and save yourself time and headache when things go wrong.

3 times is a little overkill don't ya think? In fact I remember seeing a ROM thread in the development section waaay back in the first few weeks of launch and a dev had in his set of instructions to wipe and factory reset 3 times before flash. A moderator made him change it because it was unnecessary to wipe that many times and stated that it would cause issues... what exactly, I can't remember but it sounded legit. Just my 2 cents
But.. great reference guide!

Hi,
Great intro for noobs.
Keep up the good work.
another great thread nick
i'm in the process of researching both the language and process of rooting my s2. i've been reading articles and watching videos and will write out a "script" for me to follow before i root and flash a ROM. would it be OK to ask a few questions prior to this endeavor to clear up any uncertainties i might have? i know XDA has rigid rules as to where to discuss certain topics (which i completely respect and understand).

first of all, the answer is almost a complete "no".
I don't think there's any for U8800H.
I just wanted to ask for those who ARE using U8800H though, did you experience issues when you load custom ROM, where there will be signal errors? By signal errors, please look below.
1. Go to settings.
2. Select mobile network.
3. Immediately there will be an error message here.
4. Click "select network manually". (it should have an error)
5. Click "select network automatically". (it should have an error but continues to search, and eventually connects.
For those who are asking, U8800H has a small variation, but big enough to pose problems for those who are unfamiliar.
For example, U8800 has 2GB of internal storage. U8800H has 4GB instead. That is why installing forumber2's partition will break this phone (in my case it actually did and i'm stuck with a weird extra 1.0GB space which is unpartitioned, un-used but weirdly is available to place files in it (will not disappear when you format SD via recovery though, weird).
the main difference between U8800H and u8800 is best described in this website:
http://www.morecellphone.com/compare/phones/huawei-ideos-x5-u8800h-vs-huawei-ideos-x5-u8800/162737
I want to ask the normal u8800 (not H, not +, not -51) users though, do you have problems with selecting network when you are using jelly bean based ROMs?

Hola
You've not read the right forum threads or you've have not read enough of the relevant threads! I know it can be confusing as so much info is indeed all over the place.
TRWP v3.0.4.0 works but yes some folks have seen issues with it. The most recommended version is TWRP v3.0.3.1 which you can find from the official TWRP website:
https://dl.twrp.me/ailsa_ii/
Do note that you HAVE TO format your data partition to use EXT4 file format in order to boot into LOS. You do this from within TWRP, under Wipe, Advanced Wipe, Select Data partition, Change File System (or something like that), and select EXT4.
Read like the last 10 or so pages of the Official LOS thread to see what others have seen and some feedback from others. That's the main one I keep a watch on.
