hi all....total Android noob here...
after a lot of research and some 'should i or shouldn't i' episodes, i've successfully rooted my wonder in order to flash to cm9. along the way i've discovered that it is 'desirable' to have cwm 6 installed first.
from what i understand, there are 2(?) ways of doing this...either via stock recovery in the ADB(?) shell or via ODIN...
ODIN *seems* to be the preferred method though. but here lies my problem.....i can't get it to work...i've found several links to download odin, and several links to download cwm 6.....also several different sets of instructions as to how to actually do it.....
it would really help if i had one set of downloads for odin and cwm 6 and one set of step by step, clear, precise, tried and tested instructions....
i've also tried nandroid backup as a 'partial' alternative to cwm 6, but it's not compatible with my phone.
additional info (if needed).....
os version - gingerbread 2.3.5
carrier - 3UK
kernel version - 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150XXK18-CL604835

many thanks in advance.....

Here is the way to flash CWM6 using Odin, if you wanna flash CWM5 just use the md5&ops files for CWM5, which you may need to find them somewhere
1. Download Odin & Ancora.ops & recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5
2. Enable USB Debugging in Setting-Application- Development
3. Open Odin.
- Select the ops file, and enable one package in options
- then load the md5(recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5) file with the One Package button.
- put ur phone it into download mode, first turn off phone, then hold Volume Down + Home + Power Button for a while.
- Phone will turn on and show some screen, then you plug in usb cable (it may look for the driver through Windows Update so please enable your computer's Internet connection).
Get the files (please find Odin from somewhere else): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593
Good luck and sorry for my bad English~
THESE STEPS NEEDS ROOT & BUSYBOX, DOESN'T NEED PC & ODIN..

-download and extract it..
-put the recovery.img in /mnt/sdcard
-download "Terminal Emulator" by Jack in market (FREE OF COURSE)
-open it then type "su" and click enter
-allow root access..
-then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" then click enter <~ THAT IS "0" (ZERO) not "O" word..
-then some text will show in bottom
-exit terminal.. check the recovery by turning off the device then turn on with volume up botton, home button, and power button pressed together.. until "Galaxy W" screen shows up, release the power button only.. then you will enter CWM
-navigate with up (up) n down (down) vol button and home keys (select) and power (back) and click "reboot system now" to reboot
HAPPY FLASHING

thank you both for your responses....greatly appreciated....
i thought i'd try IvanKurnia's method first as i thought it looked the easiest
it worked first time i'm happy to report........
i can finally feel a dose of CM9 goodness coming on.....yaay..lol

did you forget to add -enable the "USB Debugging" on Setting-?
if you're gonna flashing stock rom with ODIN, you're not gonna need USB Debugging setting..
but if recovery, you need it..

Hi,
how can I know if CWM6 is compatible with my kernel?
Thanks a lot.
Model code: GT-I8150
Android version: 2.3.6
Version base band: I8150XXKL3
Kernel version: [email protected] #3
Build version: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2
as far as I know, recovery has it's own kernel..
Hi all...installed CM9 last night...all went well....
Have noticed that there's no Task Manager or Media Player Apps....is it just that I'm looking right at them and not recognizing them for what they are, or are they not included in the build?....if they're not included, which 3rd party apps would you recommend for use instead?.....
Also, for information, I had ONE minor glitch occurrence when using the camera.....as follows...
Started camera app..
Changed from primary to secondary (self portrait) camera...
Changed the exposure setting to +2....
App force closed.....
Apart from that, no other issues to report.....
A big thanks to everybody involved for taking the Galaxy W and producing such a fantastic alternative to 'stock'.....
PS......will cm10 be ported to the W?....lol...(got the Modding bug now . )
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
Hi again....can confirm that the force close camera issue (as described above), is a continuing problem on all increments of exposure compensation setting. With that in mind, is there a 3rd party camera app available that has the same functionality as the installed app but without the gimmicks?......
As mentioned before, CM9 really is a welcome step up from the 'stock' OS, so if the camera issue is the only issue with CM9, it's still worth 'taking that leap'.....
Once again, many thanks for the work put in on this....Keith
Sent from my GT-I8150 with CM9 using xda app-developers app
better you post that on "CyanogenMod 9 bug report & discussion thread" by THE-E.. so then the bug will added to the list
CM9 very good right if there weren't any bugs..

It worked great, thanks a lot!
I would just suggest to add the following step BEFORE flashing CWM6, in order to have a backup of the existing recovery image:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/mybackup.img

Moving CWM6 backups to PC
Hi guys, I have a question here. How can I move my backups I created using CWM6 to a PC so I can free up my internal sd space? I don't think those folders on clockworkmod\backup are full backups because the blob folder is much larger.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy W I8150, CWM 6.0.1.2, CM9 Alpha7.

just copy or cut the "clockworkmod" folder, to prevent file corrupt, rar or zip it.. if want to restore, copy or cut back to your SD..
safe backup

have already and safe.. BUT:
-make sure your USB Cable is still in good condition.. if you are not sure, DO NOT MOVE CABLE WHILE COPYING FILES..
-you had fast enough PC.. DO NOT COPY FILES WHILE LAGGING
-NO VIRUS ON YOUR PC..
-make sure NO SOFTWARE BLOCKING YOUR PHONE DRIVER..
-if you backup to external sd, BETTER USE CARD READER TO COPY THOSE FILES TO PC
-IF ZIPPING OR RARING FILES, DP NOT COMPRESS LIKE CRAZY (COMPRESS NORMAL OR JUST STORE -without compression-)
-always reject/unmount removeable drive TO PREVENT CORRUPT FILES ON YOUR SD, USB, OR ETC..
safe backup

What is recoveryYou can boot to recovery menu by holding volume- while booting your device. From recovery meny you can calibrate your touchscreen, wipe data and do this kind of stuff. Installing SDE creates new entry to recovery menu, called Special Developers Edition. There you can remove android kernel, flash new, export hdd and data. In recovery move up and down with volume + and -. Select by pressing power button
What is SDE and how to install itSDE is shortened word from Special Developers Edition. After SDE is installed, your tablet is able to boot to official rom, recovery, and SDE rom. Most of the roms advice you to use "Remove android kernel" from SDE before you install kernel. When you remove your android kernel from there and install kernel from custom rom, your archos boots directly to custom rom. If you don't delete it, your device boots to official, but keeping volume - while booting gives you change to boot to SDE.
There are 3 guides how to install SDE. Official SDE watermarks your device for archos (there is no watermark on screen ), so they can detect you have installed SDE in some point. It stays even if you remove SDE. Official way is more safe. Also, it removes "only" software warranty. If your devices powerbutton, Usb-port or etc brokes, you can still send it to warranty. Link to official SDE install guide. Big thanks for Shano56.
Then there is unofficial, a bit more dangerous method. It doesn't watermark your device, but is more complicated. Guide tells that it's outdated, but it worked for me. I used official 4.0.4 version while installing. Link to the guide. Big thanks to Shano56.

Hi !
I uninstalled SDE by mistake yesterday !
...so, you can enable (install) unofficially SDE following this path ( work 100% on firmware 4.0.25 ) :
On your tablet :
check on Settings-> Developer options -> USB debugging on !
connect USB cable ( PC to tablet )
On your PC :
> adb push 1 /data/local
> adb push 2 /data/local
> adb shell
$ chmod 0755 /data/local/*
$ ./data/local/1
$ exit
> adb reboot
> adb shell
$ ./data/local/2
$ exit
> adb reboot
> adb push zimage /data/local/tmp
> adb push initrd.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp
> adb push abcbox /data/local/tmp
> adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/abcbox
> adb shell /data/local/tmp/abcbox kd_flasher -k /data/local/tmp/zimage -i /data/local/tmp/initrd.cpio.lzma
( now you have installed unofficially SDE ! )
Flash Root version or other Custom Rom :
> adb reboot
> adb shell rm /data/local.prop
> adb push archos.ext4(.update) /mnt/storage
Go to SDE -> ( check "Reboot" on power off menu , and after a while press & keep volume down until you see SDE menu !)
Go to Recovery System -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel -> I Undestand -> OK -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo appropriate archos.ext4(.update) -> OK -> wait to boot !
Now you have Rot version installed !
Here you will find the necessary files : Enable_SDE.zip

How to install official romDownload official 4.0.7 rom from here.
Now boot to recovery (hold volume- while booting) and choose update firmware.
Now there should be noew drive in your pc. Drop the downloaded firmware_archos_it4.aos to there and press ok in recovery. Keep usb plugged in while installing. It should take around 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Now choose ok again. your tablet should now reboot to stock rom.
4.0.24 Official is owrking on some devices, but because it won't work on all, i won't cover it here(yet)
How to multiboot android 4.0 based romsInstall modified initfram from this topic. Use the zimage from the rom you want to multiboot. AFAIK you can multiboot with following combos:
[email protected], Ubuntu (download newer kernel from later pages.), Root 4.0.7
and
AOKP, CyanogenMod 9.
You cant use [email protected] and AOKP because they do not use same kind of data. That means that after you have run first rom, the second will bootloop. That is also why it requires wiping data when changing from stock to aokp and vise versa.
Detailed:
Download dmenu-0.3a.zip, and extract initframfs to desktop. Then download [email protected] and stock 4.0.7 rooted. Extract Image files and zimage from either one of the roms. Now just instal like described in earlier section, while using initframfs from multiboot and kernel from other rom.
Installing 3G stick and Huawei modems support.
Trevd made a package to add 3G stick and extra Huawei modems work for AOKP and generally all ICS ROMs. This guy is awesome because he also made some Huawei modems work.
trevd said:
Hi surdu_petru and AOKP fans.
Great work as always, It's not a rom i'll ever use but It's the first time I've loaded an AOKP Rom, I like notification layout, I'll be having that away for my own personal rom Anyway I was more just passing through and noticed 3G was not working yet. As seen as though that seems to be my speciality and preoccupation/addiction for the last 9 months I thought I do something to remedy that situation for you.
Here's an hotfile link to download the update [ 3g-archos-aopk.7z ] this should contain everything you need to get the Archos 3G Dongle, just for ****s and giggles as a extra bonus i've also included the huawei support file as well :good:
Installation:
From a command prompt / bash terminal
Code:
7z x 3g-archos-aopk.7z
adb push 3g /
adb shell reboot_into sde
extracting the 3g-archos-aopk.7z will give youu a 3g directory in you current directory, we then push the contents of the 3g directory to the root direcotry on the device. This operation is recursive.
Have Fun!
What follows is a detailed explanation of what files and modifications are required to add 3G support.
Archos 3G Stick
The changes / additions to add this functionality breaks down like this ; The following required binary's were on the device already:
** /lib/modules/hso.ko is insmod'd by the device specific init file /etc/init/init..rc
Code:
/lib/modules/hso.ko[B]**[/B]
/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch
/system/lib/libtcl-ril.so
/system/bin/rild
/system/bin/pppd
/system/xbin/chat
/etc/ppp/init_pppd_datakey
/etc/ppp/ip-up-datakey
/etc/ppp/ip-down-datakey
/etc/ppp/peers/datakey
/etc/chatscripts/datakey_start
/etc/chatscripts/datakey_stop
/etc/usb_modeswitch/1bbb_f000
The following required services were already defined in the device specific init.rc's located in /etc/init/init..rc ,
*** switch_ms_3g defined by /etc/init/init.archos.rc
Code:
service service switch_ms_to_3g[B]***[/B]
service pppd_secrets
service pppd_datakey
service ril-daemon
So what's missing? you may ask as this pretty much is everything that is needed by the Archos 3G Stick.
Standard Archos Roms use the UsbKeyManager.apk system service to start the switch_ms_to_3g and ril-daemon service's. I replace that with my own ueventd handling native service and add an additional to configuration file keep everything clean
Code:
/system/bin/hotplugd
/init.dongle.rc
I've added the following line to the top of the /init.rc
Code:
import init.dongle.rc
All that is left to do now is enable mobile networks on the rom. I used apktool to decompile the /system/framework/framework-res.apk and change the following values
res/values/bools.xml
Code:
true
true
res/values/arrays.xml
Code:
wifi,1,1,1,-1,true
mobile,0,0,0,-1,true
mobile_mms,2,0,2,60000,true
mobile_supl,3,0,2,60000,true
mobile_hipri,5,0,3,60000,true
mobile_fota,10,0,2,60000,true
mobile_ims,11,0,2,60000,true
mobile_cbs,12,0,2,60000,true
wifi_p2p,13,1,0,-1,true
"1,1"
"0,1"
"7,1"
"9,1"
res/values/strings.xml
Code:
ppp1
Huawei Support
The extend this functionality further I added the following files
Code:
/etc/ppp/init_pppd_gprs
/etc/ppp/ip-up-gprs
/etc/ppp/ip-down-gprs
/etc/ppp/peers/gprs
/etc/chatscripts/gprs_start
/etc/chatscripts/gprs_stop
/etc/usb_modeswitch/ [ numerous configurations files ]
/lib/modules/usb_wwan.ko
/lib/modules/option.ko
/system/lib/libhuaweigeneric-ril.so
We also need to chmod 6755 /system/bin/pppd but that is handled/checked in the /init.dongle.rc so there is no need to do that manually

Change symlinks/bindsTrevd wrote guide to let people know how to change binds. That way you can move large folders, like Gameloft games and navigator files to ExternalSD, saving InternalSD space.
trevd said:
If you after freeing up space, it is still possible with a bit of hacking voodoo . There are 2 ways I know of in fact.
METHOD 1 - SDCARD SERVICE
you can point the /storage ( /mnt/storage in reality ) to any directory you like. I've currently got mine pointing to an multi partitioned external 32gb sdcard. :0 all you need to do is change the sdcard service in the /etc/init/init.A101S.rc,
Currently it mounts /data/media to /mnt/storage, if you have an external sdcard card handy, try this as a quick and dirty test
From a terminal emulator or adb shell run the following commands
Code:
stop sdcard ;
sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1000 1015 &
ls /storage
You will now see that the external sdcard can be access through /storage. to kill the test run
Code:
pkill -9 sdcard
start sdcard
Everything should be back to normal. As I mentioned to make a more permanent change edit the following line in the /etc/init/init.A101S.rc
Code:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1000 1015
METHOD 2 - MOUNT BIND
The other, perhaps more straight forward method uses the bind argument on the mount to command to "mount an already visible filesystem elsewhere" .
In the example I'll bind the external sdcard to a directory in the internal storage
use the terminal emulator or adb once again to execute the following commands
Code:
mkdir /storage/sdcard
mount --bind /mnt/sdcard /storage/sdcard
To make this more parmanent, I would probably create a wrapper shell script for the sdcard service to make sure it all gets started together, that's just my preference, As we say in trade ( or maybe it's a saying i've just made up :silly: ) ; "there's more than one way to mount a file system!"
In Summary: I would go with method 2 as this effectively achieves the desired effect off "symlinking" an external directory in the /storage

Installing ADBADB comes from word android development bridge, and it allows you to debug, move files and get shell access to your tablet.
Archos said:
First make sure you are running the latest ARCHOS firmware. Connecting by this method will give you user shell privileges. Learn more to know how to use ADB on Windows, Mac or Linux operating system:
Go to the Android SDK page and download the latest SDK for your operating system.
For Windows users only: Install the Archos ADB USB Driver for Windows. The driver is available at the ARCHOS support ftp (ftp://support.archos.com). Instructions how to install the driver are available at USB Driver for Windows site on Android Developers.
Add Archos vendor ID (0x0e79) to adb_usb.ini in .android folder in your home directory:
Windows: echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
Macos: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
Linux: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
For Linux users only: You need to add a udev rule if ADB only works as root:
Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules that contains the following lines:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
ENV{PRODUCT}=="e79/*", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="e79", MODE="0666"
Make the rule known to udev with the following command:
udevadm control --reload-rules (or udevcontrol reload_rules on older systems)

Running adb from anywhere
steviewevie said:
We need to update your Path variable. This lets you run adb on your PC from a command window no matter which directory you are in (which makes things a lot easier). If you don't setup your Path, then every time you want to run adb, you will either have to type the whole long pathname where you put adb, or cd to where you've put adb and run it from there (which could be inconvenient if you are transferring files to/from your phone).
On your PC, right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties". (on Vista, click on "Change Settings"). Go to the "Advanced" tab, then select "Environment Variables". Find the "Path" variable in the list of variables that it shows (you might need to scroll), and then double-click on that entry to edit it. Add the full path of the "tools" and "platform-tools" folders of the SDK to your path. e.g. if the SDK has been installed in "c:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows", then add to your Path "c:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools;c:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" (Please Note - don't put any spaces between the semi-colon and pathname, otherwise it won't work !)

Installing SuperchargerSupercharger is a multiscript which makes the tablet work much better. Its created by Zeppelinrox, and its official topic is here. We are using also script manager in this guide. That way we can make MinFrees and OOM apply.
In this guide we'll use Apex launcher which is moved to /system/app for our default launcher.
We are also using adb to configure and run Supercharger.
Because stock launcher is odexed and i am not writing how to deodex, we are not using it.
First make sure apex is your default launcher. This can be tested by pressing home button in homescreen.
If it show mini previews of your homescreens, apex is your default launcher.
Now lets begin:
go to here and download newest file. At
the time of writing, it is Update 9_RC11_test6. Move it to your adb folder.
Then open commandline. This can be opened with windowskey + R and writing cmd. Navigate
to adb folder using cd command. I have made adb to run from anywhere, so i just navigate to the downloaded file.
Now use command "adb push v6* /mnt/sdcard" then use command "adb shell". Now you should have
shell access to your tablet. Now do following
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
sh V6* /remember capital V)
Supercharger script should open now. After presentation, script should print after telling your busybox version
"com.anddoes.launcher is the home launcher!" Now continue install. Supercharger will tell you everything you need to know.
So just follow the instructions. After choosing kernel tweak, you get bunch of permission denieds.
We can't help them, so lets just continue.I recommend on using all the tweaks that you can,
but it is your choise do you want to use or not. After all the selections are selected and your in
driver panel, choose number 32. It'll reboot your tablet and wipe dalvik. When the tablet has booted, lets run supercharger script again.
So write these again:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
sh V6_Super*
After getting to drivers panel, you notice that minfrees are not in effect, and neither is OOM Grouping Fix BUT if they are, you can ignore this step..
Install script manager from market and open it. Give it root permissions and navigate to /system/etc/init.d
press SS99SuperCharger to open its settings. Now press the Su button and then Boot button.
Now press save, and then click it's name which appers to right. Then press back button and reboot.
Now Minfrees should work, and OOM too.
Now you can run 22 if you want to try it. Supercharger is now fully working.
Installing Chainfire3D
Chainfire said:
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.

It is very useful for running gameloft games and other games too. I recommend buying it. There are some plugin for it, but i'm not going to tell you about it now.Play store link.
After downloading it, open it and choose "Chainfire3D Driver" and from there "install". Then confirm it and tablet should reboot. Now reopen it and choose "Default opengl setting". From there you can tweak 3D performance if some games lag. Also, if you install plugin, there you can apply them. I personally use "reduce texture quality".
But why?
This section is to point few reason why to follow these guides. Lets begin:
SDE
Well, you should install this if you want to customize your tablet. If your happy with your tablet running stock, you don't need this, or any other guides.
Custom roms/kernels
Custom roms allow you to use root, they make your tablet faster and add extra functionality. This "functionality" includes: Overclock, run init.d scripts, enable both cores with all governors, root and themes. The benefits are not limited to these, but I could name this quickly. If you wan't to try something which is close to stock, but still has root and some custom functionalities, i would recommend deodexed 4.0.7, or [email protected]
Install official roms
These roms do not require SDE, but will not include root or anything fun . Updating your official rom has many benefits. They include fixes and boost your tablets performance.
Multiboot
Multibooting allows you to have 2 or more roms, which you can choose which to boot on startup. I would recommend this if you want to test functions with root, but still have "backup plan" if testing rom renders unbootable.
3G support
Basicly this allowes some extra huawei 3G sticks to work. There is no list of working stick, you just have to try and hope.
Change symlinks/binds
These allow you to "move" eg. gameloft games to external sd, and allow you to acces your externalsd via internalsd folder.. That way your gamedata does not eat the valuable internalsd space.
ADB
You need this to transfer rom to your tablet. It is also required when you sent logcat reports to help remove bugs.
SuperCharger
This makes your tablet work more fluid. I personally install supercharger to all my android devices. It removes need for task killer, and makes the device work better. Everyone has different results, and it costs only time to install, so i would recommend installing it.
Chainfire3D
This tool allows you to play games made for other GPUs and it can tweak application graphics. You can make the game look worse, but run better or adjust the grphics for a bit higher, so the game looks nicer.

How to activate second core for all govenors in surdu_petrus roms?
To activate the second core, you need the following steps :
- copy /system/S1tweak in /system/etc/init.d/ or ( > adb shell ; # cp /system/S1tweak /system/etc/init.d ; # exit )
- open No-frills CPU Control :
- choose the desired Governor ( but not hotplug ) !
- choose the desired frequency , but not overclocked ! ( when the device will boot - will open with the selected frequency , so please choose max. frequency = your max. stock frequency )
- check "Apply on boot"
- check "Applay"
- check allow if superuser asked permission
- reboot your device !

Can I just drag the .zip file to the RAMDISK that appears when I flash zImage and initramfs?
No! Archos recovery cannot read ZIP files. You must first EXTRACT, then copy the contents of the extracted folder. NOT the folder itself. This means you will have two files on the RAMDISK, and no additional folders. If you don't know what a RAMDISK is, try Google or Wikipedia. If you get stuck in a boot loop because you forgot to extract archos.update.ext4 or drive.zip, you must follow the instructions below.
Help! I am stuck in a bootloop! Archos splash screen appears and keeps rebooting. I messed up when I was rooting, and now android will not boot! I accidentally formatted my device, and now I cannot boot into android.
This is a simple mistake and in 99% of cases it is easy to fix. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Download official Archos G9 firmware for ALL G9 tablets (aos file) HERE
Step 2: Boot into recovery turning your device off and then holding volume down + power at the same time
Step 3: Choose "Update Firmware"
Step 4: Connect USB cable to computer and tablet
Step 5: A removable device should appear (RAMDISK), copy the file you just download straight to that drive
Step 6: Press the power button once the file is done copying. DO NOT UNPLUG your device until it has finished updating and has booted back into android.
If you did not format your tablet or delete any personal media, your files should be uneffected.
Will I lose SDE menu if I update my tablet with official AOS or OTA update
As of the latest update (4.0.6) no official update from Archos has removed SDE menu. You should be fine, and your SDE menu should remain untouched.

Hi there!
You have been busy! Thanks for kind words, Just an heads up really, you might want to update your post as I deleted the usb-modem-binary-redist github repo yesterday as it was a bit too clever for it's own good and I think a bit of abuse/misuse of the concept branching! Just because you can, doesn't always mean you should LOL, with that in mind I'd probably advise against linking to my github repos as they don't stay static for very long. I generally leave the hotfile links up "forever" so link away with them.
The Information and files included in the new AOKP post about 3G Dongles should be good across all ICS roms. Finally allow me to throw out this mini guide I wrote a while back which explains an "app-free" method of freeing up space, I noticed there been a bit of discussion about it, Using an app just seem like overkill, but that's just me I suppose.
Anyway good work. :good:

Yes, you must use adb. I assume your "untoot" means unrooted. You use cd command to navigate to your adb folder and from there to platform-tools. Also drop archos.ext4.update to there. Then use the adb command to move the file. Moving file to that location does not require root.

Go to the recovery menu, choose update firmware. When it prompts you to connect tablet to pc, cobbect it, but to different usb port than last time. That should cause the pc to reinstall usb drivers for the tablet.

Thanks, for so fast reply Dear...
I did the same as you advised and a drive with name ending with "REC" with a capacity of 299 MB appeared. I tried to copy the Surdu's Deoedex update but it has more weight in MBS about 390. So it could not. I tried original Archos ROM with weight of 186 MB and it copied. Started update but returned with an error "Update failed: (221)".....
Please advise.
Note: I also tried in SDE menu to export data drive and got a drive 1.48 GB which I formated from win 7 and succeded in copying Stock and Surdu's ROMs one by one but always failed to get android and it always say failed update. Still get unanimated Archos logo on startup with no further bootup.

Thanks Julle..But Now I understand that official ROM is not installing because of unofficial kernel flash I have already installed and had flushed original one.

Further to my above thread...I found the stock kernel and flashed it but still after installing kernel and then original firmware, its giving same error of update failed (221).
Please advise if any remedy you prefer.

To install the update I linked, you shouldn't need any kernel changes. Removing kernel from SDE removes the official kernel, but that does not prevent installing official update. Also installing custom kernel will not prevent installing official rom.
I just do not understand why you get the 221 error as most of the people get it when that have incorrect file there or already have newer stock ROM installed. It is possible that your windows format broke it, because windows formats it to wrong format. You should never format any other than sdcards in windows. You could try the format system in recovery and choosing reformat device. After that install the official update I linked.

Yes but it sometimes gets unstable so you should overclock to 700MHz which is the highest I got without reboots. pll2_l_val=73 gives you 700MHz.

it seems that your device drivers are not installed properly.install the device drivers , than follow the instructions, like turn on the usb de bugging mode in developer options and than connect the phone.and follow he instructions. i just checked these yesterday again.
dear, you problem has been solved or not. if not, than kindly tell me so that i could dig into this.
thanks for this! rooting does not seem to work, or I just don't understand Chinese? I rooted my phone using framaroot. the other file though works fine. it flashed a bootloader and a recovery image. very good indeed! thanks again.
Perfect!

link not working very well. DL stalls.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS OR CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO USE THIS GUIDE.
This is primarily for D802 users. However, people with other variants have had some issues and asked for help, so I have added some files here to help them as well.
PREREQUESITES
1) You must be rooted.
2) Then download one of the following files:
2.6.3.3
IMG
Download the D802 img file here.
Download the AT&T img file here.
Download the VZW img file here.
AUTO
Download the automated D802 file here.
Download the automated AT&T file here.
Download the automated VZW file here.
ZIP
Download the ZIP if flashing from a different TWRP version, or CWM: D802, AT&T, VZW
NOTE: If USB-OTG does not seem to be working on TWRP 2.6.3.3, please revert to 2.6.3.2. if this feature is needed.
Themes - Samurai Champloo
Download the theme itself here.
Download the Flashable ZIP of the theme here.
Download the Flashable D802 TWRP 2.6.3.3 and theme here.
2.6.3.2
Download the D802 img file here, or the latest official software F320K img file here.
Download the automated D802 file here, or the latest automated official software F320K file here.
Download the ZIP if flashing from a different TWRP version, or CWM: D802, F320K, TMO, VZW
INSTALLATION
Auto-Method
1) Extract the contents of the RAR file.
2) Double-click "Install.bat".
3) Prompt will open, click any button to proceed.
4) RSA Fingerprint message will appear on the phone (accept).
5) After installation procedure, type "y" and press enter to reboot into recovery!
1st Manual Method: Initiate ADB and use the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
adb push XXX.img /data/local/tmp/XXX.img
adb shell
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.[/COLOR]
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.[/COLOR]
exit
adb reboot recovery
2nd Manual Method: Place the img on your phone, then use a terminal emulator app with the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"](Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.)[/COLOR]
Optional Method: If you want to run some safety checks first, use loki [method here as first option].
INSTALL THEME MANUALLY
1) Connect your phone to your PC.
2) Go into your "internal storage" (internal SD card).
3) Find and open the TWRP folder.
4) Add a folder called "theme".
5) Place the ui.zip into the "theme" folder.
ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to TWRP (without actually resetting).
Method 2: Download the free app "Rebooter" from Google Play. If you have root, you will be able to select to reboot into recovery (among other options).
SLOW WIPE CACHE FIX
1) Once in TWRP, go into Settings.
2) Check off the box, "Use rm -rf instead of formatting."
3) Go back and now go into Wipe.
4) Wipe Cache (or another option with wiping cache).
Credit: Credit goes to Dees_Troy and wolfgart, djrbliss who made all recoveries for this phone possible, WACOMalt for his steps, and thecubed for his auto-install code.
USB-OTG
To access USB-OTG devices, go into the desired area (Install, Backup, or Restore). Select "Internal Storage" at the top. Press your USB-OTG device. It may take a second to show as selected on the screen. Once selected, press OK.
If your device does not show up, you can first try going to Mount and check off the USB-OTG box. If it doesn't allow you to check the box, then it doesn't support that device.
NOTE: It may not work with OTG cables and USB devices...
MISC.
Folder Name - There is an "issue" with the date and time [1970]. This issue is reflected in the backup folder names. There are two options to change a backup folder name:
Go into recovery and select Restore. Select the folder you wish to rename. There should now be an option to change the backup folder name.
Go into your TWRP folder by connecting to a PC or using a file explorer and change the backup folder name.
Time Zone - The time zone may be wrong but can be changed in Settings.
SUPPORT
Please check previous posts to see if your question has been answered prior to posting (there is a good chance it has).
Please always include with whether you are rooted or not.
Please always include the variant you are using.
Please always include the method you used.
Please always explain what happened in as much detail as possible.
Anything else that may be relevant.
Otherwise, you might have to wait for others to help you...

Thank you ! Flash successfull on my D802.
But when I want to wipe cache + dalvik cache, it stay on "wipe cache", it's normal issue ?
When I used Wipe Cache it took a long time to finish.
Ok thank you
Like 10 minutes or more ?

I've noticed the time changing for certain things. One restore I did took nearly 30 minutes! I did restore after that took less than 10. As long as it works, that's all that matters! :good:
I'm on a Recovery Loop. Selected Reboot > System and it keeps rebooting to TWRP.
Used Flashify btw.

Did you have a recovery before this installed? If so, what recovery? Did you have a good WiFi connection when you downloaded the file (i.e @home, @restaurant, etc.)? Did you try any other methods before flashify?
This should be fixable in either case. If you have a backup from before, I suggest restoring. If not, then you may have to follow this guide to unbrick your phone.
Oddly enough, I'll be in Singapore tomorrow, but I won't be able to reply until late night.
Works perfectly. Thanks!

Heya! Restoring as we speak. Home networks pretty stable.
Currently downloading the firmware. I can see that the system was not mounted on TWRP. Hence the Recovery bootloop.
Jumped from the Samsung era, gosh I didnt know LG doesnt have much support.
Once back up, bahhh imma just remain stock till more Devs pops up.
Cheers man.

Feel free to try CWM, it's much easier to install, and also has a touch-interface.
