mine has done this a couple of times now since i bought it new in december. it always seems to be when it gets a bit "too" empty it doesn't like turning on anymore even though I have it charging etc. always i've been able to recover from it by doing some mixture of charging/powering on etc.
last night i came to my 101 and it seemed to have suffered the same fate.... so did the usual tricks but it isnt waking. the light is coming on and turns off after holding it down for 7 secs but i see nothing on the screen. last time i checked it a couple of days ago it had about 60% battery left. Is there any way of determining if it is truly dead or if the screen is dead (plugged into usb but not getting any of the usual beep bop noises, but i think from memory you had to select to use it as storage device within android which i obviously cant do)
So now i'm crapping myself since I am totally at a loss as to what i can do. its never been opened etc but I installed the dev rom. I cant honestly think that Archos could possibly put ANY hardware issue down to the fact you had a dev rom installed (bought from currys, uk if it makes any difference... no doubt they have no stock to replace so most likely will say that they will have to return to archos)
Any advice much appreciated
thanks
To reset the Tablet you have to press way longer then 7 Seconds.
It states 10 but sometimes it needs 20.
After that you have to wait 10 seconds and then shortpress the powerbutton.
7/10/20 secs all do the same and the light turns off after about 7 seconds. no matter how long i leave it whether its plugged in or not nothing happens other than the light coming back on
currys have just told me that they have to inform users to deal directly with archos
just called them and they've given me an RMA number. still scared about the whole warranty/dev rom thing though (didnt have the nerve to mention it)

Dis you tried to use a flashlight to see is there something on screen (in case of the backlight is OFF/DEAD).
Can you still access your tablet using adb?
Cheers.

Well, they are pretty clear that if you install SDE or any other type of root solution you void the warranty. So you might expect a charge for the service.
what is with the good old "let the tablet warm up (20-25 degrees celsius), connect it with usb to the pc and at last connect the charger to the tablet"-trick?
or was it first charger then usb? i can't remember but i had this with my A70, too...

no joy from that too
on a more positive note, i can actually get the device seen over usb (think pc must have been playing up earlier too.. not my day today!)
detects it as a 101it and mounts both drives although windows is saying that neither are formatted (odd). cannot see anything on the display so doesnt seem to be the backlight thats died. looks like the whole screen has.
has anyone else here had any prior experience with SDE archos devices and warranty? I mean, really.. they'd be pushing it to expect people to believe that a display would die because of someone installing some unsupported software?!
unit sent off on friday.
guess noone here has had a faulty SDE/rooted unit that they needed to return to archos then. odd

People throw the "voids your warranty" thing around way toooo much. Let me be clear, modding your device CANNOT void a entire warranty. If I send my full rooted EVO in because of a faulty LCD, they HAVE to fix it or I can sue them. Theres something called the magnuson moss warranty act, which in a nut shell states that, what you did has to have caused the problem. Did rooting your device break it? Mostly likely not because it doesn't mess w/ the boot loader. If they give you crap about rooting or modding ask them if your mod directly contributed to the unit failing. If they say no but still give you crap throw the magnuson moss warranty act at them.
I see this all the time w/ cars, I used to be big on 8thcivic.com when I had my 07 Civic Si. People would bring their cars in w/ say, a modded computer or exhaust w/ a unrelated problem like transmission or something. If they gave them crap, the second they mentioned the magnuson moss act they shut up and fixed the problem. For the manufacturer its a lot cheaper to deny you then fix you. Archos seems like a friendly company, I'd feel confident sending in my rooted device w/ a bad screen.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act sounds all well and good but its an american "act" and most likely not relevant to Archos being a french company (and me being in the UK).
it may be the reason that I have heard people in the states being offered repairs (at a cost... $200 for a screen or something i think i read)
I have the same problem but it disappeared when I use UrukDroid 0.7 or2.1.08

a) dont think its the same problem as my 101 is DEAD.
2) it must be a coincidence for you then since I dont see how the battery/charging system of a device could be changed in a firmware update (had the bizarre issue with most flavours of firmware. by the time it is dead and needs resussitating it is out of the remit of firmware.
Mine is also dead, i suspect a power issue as the green LED will stay on while plugged in but will never blink to indicate complete charge and it won't turn on.... needless to say I am waiting to hear back from Archos (4 weeks now) and also waiting for the Asus Transformer to come out.

Waiting to hear back from archos, still no word from them. Yes it was rooted but with nothing done on the root side of things, just rooted because i could.

I just bought a 32GB Nexus 7 2 Gen and i can't get to home screen without force closed apps. It seems like the hardware is broken on mine, but before i head over to bestbuy for replacement i thought it could be a bad flash on ASUS part. As soon as i connect to wifi, it says that there is update, it restarts, but i get the yellow triangle thingie with error written below it. I thought i could try to flash the factory image, but i can't find it. I'm pretty sure it should be online, but i could be wrong. So, does somebody have the link with the factory image of the newest Nexus 7?

As of right now, google has not made the factory image available.
Take it back. Sure you may be able to fix it now and its probably just software related, but that's not a good sign and could just set you up for future issues.

Hmmm... connected mine to wifi first, and had 2 updates. A small one right after the connection to wifi, and a larger 51Meg after getting the tablet somewhat setup.
Maybe boot into recovery and do a factory reset?

I saw the day before yesterday that someone had posted about a sale at Staples for the FTV. I ordered one in the hopes that it might still be rootable. I paid $84 for it and had it shipped free. I got it the next day...(today).
Last week I purchased an older Dlink router for $15 because my high end router didn't allow URL blocking and I wanted to be able to block updates from it. Now I'm thrilled that I did! I have 5 of these units all setup perfectly to boot to XBMC the way I like and with all my shortcuts already installed although they were purchased from a young college computer science major who programs these better than any I've ever seen. Today I decided to try one myself.
3 or 4 times during the setup the unit started to download the new software and I pulled the plug to stop it out of sheer panic. When I finally realized that it was never going to boot up completely until I let it go through the entire setup routine I bit the bullet and trusted that the router would do the trick. The unit looked as though it made a complete download and also a complete install of the new software..... I knew I was doomed with an unrootable unit, but figured at some point someone would come up with a way to root the new firmware.
When it was all done I immediately went into settings and checked the firmware.... Low and behold the router did it's job and the unit had the old firmware on it!!! It's now rooted with XBMC installed and updates blocked thanks to the fantastic FTV utility posted on this forum. As far as I'm concerned I just got a unit for half price! If I had the extra money I'd get another one!
I only post this to thank everyone here who has answered ignorant questions from me and posted so many great ways to modify and install apps on this unit. In just a couple of weeks I feel as though Ive learned an immense amount of knowledge.... thanks to this site and it's great members!!!
Keep up the great work!!!
Good to hear man. Im guessing there are some units still out there. Although a gamble at best.

Crazytala if you are looking to use xbmc on the box just sideload gotham 13.2 on it my new box has the latest firmware but gotham and addons like mash navi x livetv are all working fine on my non rooted box.
I just picked one up this week that was purchased at a Staples in Fort Worth Texas and it had rom 51.1.0.1_user_510055620 on it. Already have it clockwork modded, rooted updated and blocked future updates. If I had the money I'd go pick up a few more!
My local Staples had plenty and the clerk says that have not sold any yet. The firmware is rootable. I stayed up late last night rooting it, tonight I will finish the rest and get this baby running.
Guys, if you can pick up a rootable version, Would it be possible to get a shipping quote to the UK? I can pay via PayPal etc and would chuck in some more $ for the time.
I've got a UK Fire TV, but I don't see root coming anytime soon. I'd simply sell my unrootable on eBay. Would go along way of covering the one coming in. You can get rootable ones on eBay UK though shipped from America, but fees etc bump the price up.
Thanks
Post on the Nvidia forums telling Nvidia you want to keep your old tablet. lots of people want to keep both tablets or have problems with the new ones so comment and let Nvidia know you want to keep them both. Share this with everyone so it gets some attention from Nvidia. Thread: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/865108/shield-tablet/if-you-want-to-also-keep-your-old-tablet-leave-a-post/
I wouldn't recommend keeping your old tablet. They are doing this recall because the older tablets could be dangerous; it's a safety recall. I understand wanting to keep the older tablet, I really do. Nvidia isn't going to tell people they should keep them; only dispose of them. I understand that we all think nothing will happen with ours, but that is usually when it does.
I'd rather they let me keep my pen and charger from the first tablet. But I don't want a possible fire hazard in my house. I haven't turned mine on since the recall.
I am sure this isn't going to be a popular post... but it is just how I see it.

That's not what it says. It says that if you disposed of the tablet, they will still send you the replacement. They aren't telling people to keep them.
I'd keep it got parts, or replace the battery with a good one. But throwing it out and then dropping yours and breaking the screen or something would be a real kick in the balls lol

Amazon is selling two versions, one with ads for $179 and one without ads for $229. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether the ads version will get OS upgrades and security updates at the same time as the non-ad version? The main reason I'm looking to buy one is the promise of fast upgrades/updates. I'd like to save $50 but not if it means Amazon has to approve upgrades/updates before releasing them.
https://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Unlocked-T-Mobile-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B071VZKDDP/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?
I was wondering the same thing, but to me I am going to get the non-ad version. I know myself and have a feeling the ad's will affect the performance as well as annoy me to no end
I've had an ad version Amazon phone before (Moto G4) and the ads were totally not a problem. If you have a persistent notification, such as a weather report, then the ad is just about 1/3 inch tall and the width of the screen. After awhile you even forget there are ads. They're only on the lockscreen, so no effect on performance. With the G4 the bootloader was locked on the ads version (to prevent people from removing the ads) and probably will be as well on the Nokia 6. What I don't know is whether OS upgrades and security updates will be affected on the ads version.

I saw a couple of negative reviews on amazon, they were talking about screen discoloration as well. I would contact amazon and see what they tell you.
Unfortunately it looks like they are sold out of the ad free phones
I have two Moto G5 Plus Amazon Prime with ads The updates non-existent compared to the non-Amazon retail version of the same phone. The bootloaders are not unlockable if you buy the ad version, not even of you pay the extra $50 after the fact.
If you want a decent phone with fast updates, get a used Nexus 6P on Swappa.

Ye to enter recovery mode some information say to press volume down + power while off and some say volume up + power however that did not work for me.
The only way I was able to do it was to follow these steps.
Enable USB debugging option from setting>developer option>. (To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.)
Download ADB and fastboot driver and install it on your PC.
Connect your phone to the computer with USB
Open CMD from ADB location folder (Go to ADB install location and hit alt+D then type cmd in address bar and hit enter)
Test the connectivity using the following command: adb devices
You should get the following: List of devices attached …………………… device
From here to get into recovery mode use the following command: adb reboot recovery
I will say be very careful while in adb as to what you type and make sure everything is correct before you do so.
Rather than follow this it may be easier to for you to just google "How to enter recovery mode using adb" and follow instructions there.

Keep USB cable connected either through computer or through power supply, restart your device. Hold volume down + power while device starting, you should see plenty of options, which are NOT usable at this moment.
I saw so many people are messing with this Nokia 6 device hoping that they could root it ?? Just to let you guys know, it's not possible yet to root this device. Without root you can't flash anything on it..
In my opinion, whoever is in struck during flashing/updating something using some images, bricked their device temporarily. You just need to wait until we get things done with rooting method for this.
Yeah, I had it
Got this phone today, but WiFi can't connect to our open network in the Office, it's not even showing the network, while my Sony Xperia Z4 is connected and so is my LG TABLET. Have you guys even experienced this, or it's just my unit? Thanks

I was able to flash mine. I had to as manually installing updates apparently soft bricks the phone. I was told when I bought mine it had the stock firmware on it but that was a lie.
Getting it into Emergency Download Mode in order to flash it is a bit of a pain though. I just wish I was able to get the stock firmware from Nokia to put on it like every other major phone company provides.

So I got the amazon prime Nokia 6 a few days ago, and seeing the other posts say they cannot root it.
Were you able to do that, and if so, can you please share this with us.
Thanks

No, not root it, just flash it with a ROM. I used this:

Does the N6C (North American) model support the same LTE bands as the TA-1003 or does it support any different ones?
