[GUIDE][ROOT] Archos 50 Platinum - Miscellaneous Android Development

Decided to create this guide because the steps in the threads below didn't work for me.
The Archos 50 Platinum rooting process is slightly different then the Karbonn Titanium S5.
Still, this was very helpful!
[Rooting]Karbonn Titanium S5 general discussions and Rooting help
KARBONN TITANIUM S5 {Rooting/CWM}[UPDATED STOCK ZIP]
STEP 1 - Need
# Enable USB Debugging under developer options
# Drivers (used the file in the internal SDCard "pcdrivers.zip")
# adb-fastboot
# CWM Recovery (IMPORTANT: Not yet the best CWM Recovery for Archos 50, image flickers. But works)
# Stock Recovery (Karbonn Titanium S5 stock recovery. Worked for me)
# Superuser / SuperSU (CWM SUPER USER.zip)
STEP 2 - Preparations
1. Extract "adb-fastboot" to a folder and open a Command Prompt window from there (Didnt need "Run as Administrator").
2. Copy CWM Recovery to ..\adb-fastboot folder and rename it "recovery.img"
3. Copy the "CWM SUPER USER.zip" to the root of the internal or external SDCard.
STEPS 3 - Driver Installation
1. Power off your device, and go into GREEN Recovery
# Press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER KEY -> when you see a GREEN screen release volume up key
SKIP THIS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE DRIVER INSTALLED
2. Install Archos 50 ADB Driver
# Win+R -> devmgmt.msc and update the unknown device "A50" and force the installation (This driver is not digitally signed) to "Fastboot interface (Google USB ID)", driver location should be "..\pcdrivers\drivers\adb_driver\ (win32 or win64)
STEP 4 - Flash CWM Recovery
1. From the folder "adb-fastboot" Command Prompt:
Code:
fastboot devices
This should display your device name in fastboot mode, if nothing is shown, then you have to check previous steps again.
2. Type this command to flash CWM recovery to your phone
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done! CWM Recovery installed.
STEP 5 - SuperSU with CWM (Screen flickers, but easy to follow)
1. Boot into RED Recovery by:
# Press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER KEY
# When you see a GREEN screen DONT release VOLUME UP key
# After 10 seconds you see RED screen, now release VOLUME UP key
2. In CWM Recovery, select "install zip from sdcard" -> "CWM SUPER USER.zip" from SDCard. (Screen Flickers!)
# Reboot
# Done!
After the reboot your phone should be rooted. If not, follow the steps again.
STEP 6 - Revert to Stock Recovery / Unroot (Remember this is from Karbonn Titanium S5. Worked for me)
# Do STEP 4, but replace with the Stock Recovery
# Unroot instructions here. In CWM Recovery!
If theres a easy way, let us all know.
Thanks!

Nice, thanks.
My heart is not yet strong enough to try and maybe fry another phone though (bricked 3 phones while playing around in dangerous areas this year )

try it out guys it should work, its not going to spoil your phone as we just replacing recovery, even of u fail u will have a bootable phone.

In step 3, you can also just type 'adb reboot bootloader' instead of holding the buttons, to boot into fastboot mode

Here's a much easier way of doing it:
1. preparations + open a cmd window, cd to your adb-fastboot folder
2. 'adb reboot bootloader'
3. 'fastboot devices' (if no devices are present, try option 2 again)
4. 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
5. 'fastboot continue'
6. 'adb reboot recovery'
7. "install zip from sdcard" -> "CWM SUPER USER.zip"
8. 'adb reboot'
---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
Also, this method is working perfectly for me - root, SuperSU and a beautiful, not-flickering CMW Recovery! Only mass storage mode is not working, not in stock recovery nor in CMW recovery.

can you please upload the system part of your cwm back up.
you can compress it using "KGB ARCHIVER" Free to download from CNET it converts 300mb to just 3mb

You can also find that on the website of Arches, in the form of an update.zip package. You can download that here:

Looking for an image backup of the Archo 50 platinium
Hi team,
I have a Archos 50 platinium rooted with Cwm and Nemesis ROM but i want to reinstall the original ROM from Archos and i forget to do a backup of the ROM stock before flashing.
There was an stock ROM on Archos supprt website named Update.zip but itsn't reconized by the ROM and it can't be installed with CWM with

[RECOVERY] [Vodafone Smart / Huawei U8160] Unofficial ClockworkMod Recovery

Edit: February 2012: please disregard ALL information below this red text. ROM Manager now supports the Huawei U8160, and will flash the official recovery build from the app. See the Getting Started with ROM Manager & ClockworkMod section in this post.
ClockworkMod Recovery for Vodafone Smart (Huawei U8160)
Current release - v0.1 - 12 September 2011 [CWM Ver. 4.0.1.5]
What is ClockworkMod Recovery? From AddictiveTips:
ClockworkMod – also known as Clockwork and CWM – is 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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation - Fastboot Method:
Use this method if you have never installed a build of ClockworkMod before.
Download the Android SDK for your operating system [Windows users are recommended to download the .zip version].
Extract the fastboot / fastboot.exe file from the tools folder of the Android SDK zip file to a folder on your computer.
Download the latest zip release of ClockworkMod using the link(s) below.
Open the ClockworkMod .zip file and extract the recovery.img file to the same folder as the fastboot / fastboot.exe binary.
Reboot (or turn your phone one) whilst holding the power and volume down keys. Your phone will now be in "fastboot" mode.
Open a terminal or command prompt, and run the following commands:
Note: these are example instructions for a Windows user who has extracted the fastboot.exe and recovery.img to C:\VodafoneSmart. Adjust the folder path to wherever you extracted these files.
Code:
cd C:\VodafoneSmart
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Installation - ClockworkMod Method (zip):
Use this method if you already have ClockworkMod installed, and you wish to update the version that already exists on your phone.
Download the latest zip release using the link(s) below.
Transfer the .zip file to your SD card. Do not extract the .zip file - only copy it.
Reboot into ClockworkMod, choose the option Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard. Select the current release, and confirm the update by selecting Yes. Reboot and enjoy!
Usage:
To access ClockworkMod recovery, any one of the follow methods will work:
If you are running a build of CyanogenMod, choose the Recovery option from the reboot menu;
Run "adb shell reboot recovery" on any rooted ROM;
Reboot your device whilst holding the power and volume up keys.[/li]
Once you've entered ClockworkMod Recovery, you will be presented with several options (some familiar, some not). I won't try to explain all of the options, as there are better guides on the internet (example: the AddictiveTips site above). However, these are the ones you should really know about:
Wipe data/factory reset - same as before
Wipe cache partition - same as before
Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard - this is the new method you will be using to flash ROMs and update packages
Backup & restore - this menu lets you perform a full backup or restore of your boot, /cache, /data/ & app2sd partition (which is compatible with mad2sd)
Mounts & storage -> mount USB storage - this lets you enable UMS mode to copy update packages (if you forgot to transfer before rebooting into recovery)
Advanced -> partition SD card - this lets you easily partition your SD card for use with mad2sd or any third-party app2sd solutions. It lets you select the size for the EXT4 partition as well as swap. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ALL DATA ON YOUR CARD BEFORE USING THIS OPTION.
Changelog:
[CWM Ver. 4.0.1.5] v0.1 zip - 12 September 2011
First release.
Hi, I've been trying this guide and am having trouble with both methods.
Fastboot Method
I get into fastboot mode (where it's just at the hourglass screen), and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". The command prompt just says "Waiting for device", and never updates.
ClockworkMod Method
I installed the CWM I got off the Android Market, and then tried to reboot into recovery mode (both by rebooting through CWM and by pressing Volume+Up & Power). I just end up waiting at the hourglass screen like when it's in fastboot mode.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
for fastboot try without battery inside (only usb) works for me
if fastboot wont work try methode 3. http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/
with extractet recovery.img from zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17496869)

for linux users??
just a note, the U8160 has a different USB hardware ID when in fastboot mode, and so inside 70.android.rules you need to add "12d1" and "18d1"
18d1 is the fastboot USB id and 12d1 is the adb USB id
This is for linux btw.
i've two questions for subpsyke:
it's planned update to cwm recovery 5?
Why don't knowledge Rom Manager cwm recovery in your cyano release for U8160?

EDIT: done, thanks a lot
for pulse driver, turn on phone, then press power + volume down, then plug usb, PC will search for a driver
fastboot is just: power button + volume down (and then it sticks on logo or hourglass) then open command prompt on pc

I have a branded Vodafone Smart (U8160) and it stucks everytime at the hourglass screen. It won't get into recovery mode.
How do I fix this?
Edit: I haven't rooted it yet. Have I to do it before I could install CMW?

[Q] Root my xoom ?

I just bought a second hands xoom , I really had bad luck because my device reboots itself automaticaly too often
it's about a MZ601 3G 32g. of course I can't find the seller back in my life ...
OS 3.2
build number H.6.5-17-3
Kernel 2.6.36.3
I don't know my xoom belongs to which country . I would like to root it
Becasue I've heard it might be helpfull .
I 'm really an newbie !
Can someone help me out ?
Best Regards
Kevin
The MZ601 is the MOTO/EU/umts_everest 3G: 3.2/H.6.5-17-1 GSM (means you can use any SIM card in your device, you can send and receive SMS)
You first need to install Android SDK, Here is a link to the ADB Tutorial.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/
Instructions assuming that you have successfully installed the Android SDk -
(solarnz)
1. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.
Download the zip file from here - http://goo.gl/Om9aP
Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.
2. Flashing recovery
1. Download this Recovery image. http://bit.ly/iLRAIV (place this image in you SDK PlatformTools Folder, or which ever folder that contains your adb.exe)
2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
3. Flash recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.
If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.
In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.
Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select
Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!

Thx so much I've root my device now .
I've one extra icon calls superuser ??? What can i do with it ?
What is now difference between a normal and an root device ?
What do I have more possiblilitie with rooted device ?
best regards
Kevin
Is this method workable in 4.0.3 or even freshly released 4.0.4?
@Kevin
superuser gives you access to your device settings and all files.
Install root explorer, and you can browse your system files, but be very careful.
With root you can customize you xoom.
To find out more on what root access can do for you, use google to search,
this would not be the place for that. After you get a better understanding of the
root process, browse this forum for Modifications and what not.
Now you gotta find a ROM that fits your taste. You can start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459641
Make sure you Flash the GAPPS directly after you flash your new ROM, then reboot. There are many ROMS to choose from in this forum. Find the one that fits your device and your needs. Welcome to the Dark Side my Friend!

Yes you can root your device on stock 4.0.3 using this method. From there find a 4.0.4 ROM to your taste and flash it in CWM recovery. (If you are using a XOOM) I prefer the EOS 4.0.4 ROM which is their Nighty Builds. You can find the Xoom EOS Nightly ROMs that fits you device by searching the Forum.

Is There....?

A straight forward guide on how to flash CWM .... ANYWHERE?
I dont feel I'm a noob.... I've flashed all my phones.... Elf, HD, HD2, Desire.... but this Xoom is about to go out the window!
The instructions to me read "boot to recovery and flash from SD card" ... how do I boot to recovery when thats what I'm trying to install?
I've tried Lord AIO and that will unlock the bootloader, but CWM install flashes past in under a second so I dont think its working... If I try the root it just says it cant find SD card... and of course CWM ROM manger wants Root access.... One click root wont work with UK Xooms...
Anyone got a straight forward guide.... ?:fingers-crossed:
UK Xoom running 4.1.2 wifi...
For example.... TWRP thread ....
Installation instructions (option 1)
Download zip file from link below
Place zip on Micro SDcard
Reboot into existing recovery
HOW? I'm trying to install my first recovery??????
Cold booting ODM? whats that??? I get that if I hold vol + & - together....
Or power and Vol - I get "Starting Fastboot protocol support" - it stays there until I reset it....
Here is how I rooted my xoom and install the initial custom recovery and the install TWRP recovery.
If you already unlocked your bootloader you can skip that step.
follow the directions here but instead of doing step 1 follow this for adb install http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...ged-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid= it is a 1 click adb install then follow from step 2 on.
When you are done there you can install TWRP 2.4 touch screen recovery (a much better recovery than what you used to root.)
Download TWRP2.4 zip and put on the root of your external sd card. ( if you don't have a sd card we will do it another way just let me know)
Boot into recovery by turning your xoom off.
1. press power
2. when the moto dual core logo comes on wait 3 seconds and press volume down
3. recovery should be displayed across the top press volume up.
You can skip steps 1- 3 now that you are rooted if you download Quick Boot open it, select recovery and the grant Super user permission
4. go to install zip from sd card (just like when you rooted) and find the TWRP 2.4 Zip and install
5. reboot your xoom
6. you now have TWRP 2.4 recovery installed.
really appreciate your help but that still doesnt work....

Spent hours on this now.... nothing
Its a UK GED Wifi Xoom... I bought it with ICS on and its done OTA to JB 4.1.2 - so I guess it has already had the bootloader unlocked... I've unlocked it again... so I dont know if that has caused problems...
I've tried following the guides but they seem very disjointed and not easy to follow, is it worth continuing? am I actually going to gain anything?
It would be nice to be able to overclock it as the Xoom is starting to show its age now.......
I'd be most grateful if anyone can help me.......
Google whether your phone can be bootloader unlocked. If it can then the best way (I think) to get cwm and root is to
unlock bootloader.
flash a kernel boot.img in fast boot which has cwm.
Flash a rom which has root

So basically instead of typing fast boot drag it. I and the same goes for the last bit in ur case the cwm img file
Sent from my badass pimped up MiniPro using XDA
easy fix. The folder you have adb installed you need to put fastboot.exe and then run the fastboot command.
It sounds like you don't have all the files you need in the same folder.
did you run the one click adb install method I posted?
don't worry about he sdk part (like i posted use the one click adb install and then skip to step 2 of that thread).
If you follow the steps posted in that thread (skipping the sdk) you will be rooted. And then continue on with the rest of the steps I posted for inbstalling TWRP
Really appreciate your help dfib1.... but now I get....

Running EOS4 nightly at the mo... probably gonna have to change it... the keyboard has issues and there appears to be alot of lag.... are you using EOS 3?
I am running eos4 right now. I do have the keyboard issue bur I just downloaded a new one from the market until they fix it. As far as the lag I have not seen it but I am also using apex launcher pro. Black bean 7 is having issues with the keyboard and data issues but a new release is coming soon to fix these.

I am able to flash twrp and reboot but in twrp it wont show any folder trees or open the internal storage.
I cannot install anything from twrp but i did get my otg cable to work after formatting a usb stick and putting my magisk zip on the usb and flashing through otg.
