Hello everyone, I wanted to know for himself politely Archos Titanium series was released a few new features such as the type ROOT, CUSTOM ROM, ect ..
sorry in advance if I opened this thread, but having a titanium archos 101, I wanted to know if there are any developments in this regard.
thanks to all.
I want to buy a Titanium, too. But without root, it's worth nothing to me. Though, it's a good piece of hardware for only around 200$.
Please help anyone

just go to arctablet forums. there´s a thread to root the archos 80 titanium. i think there´s no custom roms yet.
Has anyone tried the Vroot tool on the 101 titanium? (successfully or not) I really want to root my tablet but I don't want to brick it ^^'

I just tested it this morning...
Archos 70 Titanium can be rooted with one-click root tool called Vroot...
I'm not sure what is the name of the tool...
here!.. I have attached the tool...
May b this root tool works for 101 too...

man this tool it starts in chinese.. can you provide some instructions how it works?
i want to root my archos 80 titanium
It works on 101 titanium, but you have to live with a chinese supersu. Titanium backup did perform its automatic restore ok for me.
Now searching how to change to a English supersu?
Is it possible to use such a tool from linux (I've no real windows machine only a virtualbox emulated win XP system running on top of my arch linux distro).
Thank you,
Xwang
Rooted Archos 80 Titanium HD
I used the VROOT app that Aung Thiha attached on my 80 Titanium HD model. After installing the app with the root.exe executable, I plugged in my tablet fully booted with debug mode turned on, and I pushed the green button in the software. After a few seconds, the tablet rebooted, and I had root.
Now, what to do about the Chinese app that I couldn't understand?
First, it is important to know that when the app pops up to give root access to a program, you need to push the right side button to grant access.
Now, you can search for and install "Superuser" from the Android market. The version made by Clockwordmod did not work for me, it is important to use the version from ChainsDD.
Then start Superuser, and click on the "i" for Information at the top of the app. It should say us binary v3.x.x with the option to "tap to check for updates". Check for updates and then click the update button.
This will replace the Chinese binary version with an English version. You should now be able to see the normal Superuser Icon in the app drawer and will start receiving prompts in English.
My profile is hungry for thanks, so don't forget to give this a thumbs up if you found this helpful.

Thank you. Will try it soon.
So... you are root with the last update from Archos? You could contact the people on Arctablet forum to send them some files. This could lead in some custom rom in the future.
And what about using a linux pc to root this device (titanium 101)?
Thank you,
Xwang
This utility only works on Windows, but there are already other ways to root, just look.
Yes, I have the latest firmware and am rooted. I'll take a look to see where I can help, cause I think this device is going to be a popular one.

Hi all!
i have the titanium 70 i want to root, my question (probable dumb) is, i have to back up something before try to root with vroot software? or the vroot will just install the root without modify other things?
and another question, if after i root the phone i do the reset to factory default, also the root will be gone and i will have to root again, right?

Hi, I am sorry I have to open another thread but I am very desperate!
I used "One Click Root" to root my SGS and worked great!
After I installed Titanium Backup to removed some default apps. So far so good.
The problem comes when i installed Clockwork Recovery to backup my Rom before removing the apps. I followed the guide, the phone rebooted but didn't go to the new recovery screen (yes, I had the update.zip in the right place). After rebooting the Titanium Backup said I didn't have a rooted rom.
I runned "One Click Root and Unroot" many times and wiped my phone to stock. After rooting the Titanium Backup keeps telling me the same.
How can I fix this? I am afraid this is not my only problem since my phone can't connect anymore to my AP (it can't get an ip address).
Please help me!
What version of firmware, plus any custom rom packages and/or kernel mods, were you using? It's hard to help without knowing some really basic info like that.

I have stock rom JF5 with update-1. All other apps seem to see my root priviledges. But the titanium can't! And I cant find to fix My AP connection problem. Is tere a way to REALLY clean my SGS or to fix this? All I did was the steps I said before...
Maybe you need latest busybox installed. Do a search on forums for version 1.17. Also email the developer as titanium backup has has lots of problems on age for me with restores and only the 3.3. 5.2 only kinda works for me

Will do. Now i will go to bed (it's 5 a.m. in Portugal) and tomorrow i'll give you feedback. hope it works. I should have removed the apps before... now I have to endure with them still and worst with no way to remove them... Thanks for you help!

No I didn't because I could't store my stock rom. Would an upgrade to Froyo (the official one) fix this? I can't connect to any wi-fi network (can't seem to fix an IP address...).
By using a terminal emulator can I reconfigure my wi-fi configuration or IP aquisition? How could I do this?

Those were the stpes I followed the first time and it worked great. After trying Clock Recovery then Titanium stoped working. I managed to fix my WLAN problem (so so). I can use Wi-Fi if I connect with a static IP but for that i need to connect to the network first with a computer so I can get the DNS IP. It's more trouble but at least my Wi-Fi works again!
Still no go on Titanium....
So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...
Here´s some specs from my phone, GT-S5660, Android ver. 2.3.6, "somethingsomething" S5660XXKT6, Core(?) 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1006648, "mumbojumbo" GIGERBREAD.XXKTI. SuperSU v0.98
Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Thanks for reply. SuperSU won´t update, not on wifi or 3G. Just says "update failed".
I have deleted Kies from laptop, cleaned registry, even removed all usb-drivers then restarted laptop(did that with WIN7 an XP-PRO), yell´ed at my neighbours and blamed the cat.
Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...
Thanks anyway.

Yes, it´s the cable that came with Gio. Can´t find Nokia´s cable so I could try that one. How do I check that if my phone has a custom rom that is´nt suitable or something like that. I really don´t know what that friend of my did to my phone, BUT the problem occured after his I´ll have your phone going like Räikkönen in Abu Dhabi-tuneup.
Really i think u should unroot it if u think root cause this problem.

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310
Thanks for reply, I won´t give up. There must be a simple answer for this. I just have to find it, or someone gives it me... Latter the better.
Ooh ooh, FYI, now I have these two app´s in my phone. SuperSU and Superuser, should I just quit fidling with my phone
...and now when I connect my phone to laptop, win7 gives every 3 sec. a message that one of the USB-hardwares is in errormode or something (I´m bad at traslating), it sounds like a intro of a Skrillex-song...

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file? Are those files spesific to a certain app? The trick is to get two superuser-apps is klick+klick+yes+fustration+install+hope+i don´t know. If I could I would give you better info... You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:
And either of them won´t update binary...
Oh, and yes, no ( ) I can´t uninstall either of those app, well from phone´s uninstall-section, butt that do´snt uninstall these apps for good... They are still there when I go to settings+apps+manage apps+all-> there they are.

i don't think it related with hardware, root is related with software (OS).
Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.

have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590807&highlight=guide+ics
I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.

Hi all, i got this old phone (Samsung GT-S5560) with a phonelock on it. The question is how do i do a hard reset with the buttons or how do i get the recovery mode with the buttons? I cant find it on the net.....
Hey all! Any help please?
I've tried ALL methods to gain root and as someone mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782266 , no success.
I can get to the reboot after the supposed root, but basically nothing else. No superuser, root-check fails, etc and then the device is permanently slow. Only solution is then a factory reset and back to square one, without any root.
Anyone have any success in rooting the new system version, http://bit.ly/1kgs5L8 8.4.9 ?? I had root in the past but the buggers pushed this one on me and I lost everything, even side-loaded apps (and while we're at it, can I disable these effing updates in the future?)
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117 I was able to root mine on 8.4.9 system version a few days ago with it, using the alternative method C-2 listed in that guide.
Thank you. I'll take a look, give it a try ASAP and let you know.
That worked perfectly! Better than the first root I used and obviously, better than all the one's I've tried since I lost the first. Thank you very much!

Ok, back again.
So, my situation is now this: The root worked, by appearance but somehow, it only seems to be a "partial root", for lack of a better description.
I have SU and Rootcheck Basic installed and it says that I have root, but I can't get the play store to work no matter what, and can't change permissions on the /system/apps folder or write to there when trying to copy the Google Play apk there (attempting to see if I can run or install it there).

To make apps and or system r/w first download ES File Explorer. Install, open, give root permission, on the left side scroll down and click on "tools." Now go down and click "on" Root Explorer. Now click on the actual words "Root Explorer" and select Mount R/W and select r/w for path and system and then click OK.

Anyone have any success in rooting the new system version, http://bit.ly/1kgs5L8 8.4.9 ?? I had root in the past but the buggers pushed this one on me and I lost everything, even side-loaded apps (and while we're at it, can I disable these effing updates in the future?)
Thanks in advance.

To make apps and or system r/w first download ES File Explorer. Install, open, give root permission, on the left side scroll down and click on "tools." Now go down and click "on" Root Explorer. Now click on the actual words "Root Explorer" and select Mount R/W and select r/w for path and system and then click OK.

I don't recall the exact steps, but if you follow link for the method that's on the first one I quote here, and follow it pretty precisely you'll get root. Mainly, some of the most important things I recall are USE THE KFFIRSTAIDE and that tool will basically get you into all the ADB functions you need to get and keep root. There's an option on there to turn off updates, which you need to do immediately after you gain root in order to keep root. Also, something that nobody seems to mention - you need to set the /system folder to r/w so that you can install the play store app or for anything system related to "take".
Ultimately, I would say, start with getting that KFFirstAide installed and communicating with your Kindle. Like I said, it has many functions you can see in it's options window.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

Oh, and also, make sure you have a root checker app installed, for obvious reasons.

This worked in the past for me on a rooted KF, but for some reason, even with (in ES File Explorer), Root Explorer on and confirmed, Mount R/W showing Path / and /system set to RW AND setting rights on the actual folder to RWE, copying the Play Store .apk file fails.
Any suggestions?

I've had root, and TWRP. That lasts only as long as the Kindle stays off. Amazon is noticing, and forcing an update (back to 8.9.4), which breaks root. I think we're going to have to skip root and install something Amazon can't see (or find a way to block OTA updates).

I'm giving this to my grandson to use as his 1st tablet. I've got no more reason to get a Fire tablet now than I do an iOS device. I can get VOD on any android device now so the Fires can remain for the kiddies in the family who need Freetime.

Rooting the KF isn't enough to allow Play Store (or most other Google Apps) to work. You have to go a step further, and change the OS to CM (or similar). As long as Amazon can recognize the device, Google isn't going to function. Just no way around this one.
I have the sema problem with a partial root, i cant install on system/app...
any ideas? I want to be root for install a cm...

Is this assured to work with both LRX21M and LRX21V?
Worked perfectly, and now StickMount is working too. Just played a video off USB in XBMC.
Does anyone know a way to remove the su app from showing in the leanback launcher. Can't find it in the settings anywhere.
Pardon my ignorance, but what does this do exactly? ...aside from the obvious "gives you root"...I mean how, what does it do to the system?

Well be in next version, if you set icon to invisible, it will also disappear from leanback launcher.

Do you just download to phone or PC and put the extraction on the Nexus Player to gain root?

Are you referring to the launcher settings or SuperSU settings there should be an option in SuperSU settings to set the SuperSU icon to invisible.
I just happened to check my system today and had the OTA update from LRX21M to LRX21V waiting. I tried installing it but Recovery stopped halfway through the install with an Error. I got back into Android with a power-cycle, so things are fine, but it's still on 21M.
I'm guessing this was due to having rooted the device. Is there a proper way to remove SuperSU to allow for a system update? I see there are 3 different options for cleaning up; does it particularly matter which one I choose? I could just pick one and try it but I'm kind of curious what the differences are between the options. Anybody know?
Update: I tried the second and third cleanup options (new superuser app and full unroot) and neither got me into a state where the OTA was successful. So I just downloaded the factory image and flashed the system.img from it, then reapplied the original root process.

probably a full unroot and flashing the stock boot.img would fully unroot, I wonder when LRX22C (5.0.1) will hit the nexus player
The root is fundamental in all devices for many things, and thanks to Chainfire and others independent developers we can consider Android a semi-open platform. (semi-open because not all is open source)
We don't want Android like the Apple walled garden, but we are not even against the sale of the software, we just want a common garden in which the user can choose and is not obliged.
For example with the root, it was easier to start this project:
Nexus Player with a Full Version of Android Lollipop https://plus.google.com/103019026671039069038/posts/V5XaLxK3vN8
This is just the base rom with all hardware components working, on this base that is very usable, i want add many other options. like external usb webcam and mic, improving the audio part that have fixed volume and many other things useful for the use in TV.
Nexus Player is not just Android TV, but is the first Nexus device with an intel cpu. Is a milestone in the evolution of Android.
This is just the start and I am very open to sharing and collaboration on this project.
Thanks Chainfire for the root and for your "How-To SU" guidelines.
Out of interest will rooting prevent OTA updates from installing in the future?

I did this, despite the warning it gave me. Now although I still get permission dialogs etc, I can not run the main program to delete apps etc from SU access. Is there anyway to go back to the main screen? I went to the apps sections of the NP and unlike other apps it didnt have an open command.
To get it back do I need to uninstall and then re-CFroot?
Thanks. I should pay better attention to dialog boxes but its not a huge deal.
Just as the title dictates. I am trying to walk a friend through installing google play on his rooted fire tv, I emailed him all the necessary files and he installed via es file explorer which apprently did not work as it just gives him a white screen. Is this only able to function if it is installed via adb?
Did you guide him through the xposed framework installation as well?
Yes
danknasty, maybe have your friend read the guide. Why would you not use Adb? and you have to install the xposed framework along with the module for google play to function. And to top it off to make it work perfectly fine, you need to use market helper 2.0 beta.

Yea it's an older person so i was trying to make it as "friendly" as possible. He's able to navigate within es file explorer and can stick a usb stick in... adb fire i just feel is gonna be a lengthier and more difficult talk but it may come to that. I have recently installed it via es file explorer myself jsut to test and it seems to work fine so ill have him give it go.

You mentioned Rooted. i have a solution for you. Get him to install quicksupport and start it up. Then use teamviewer on your home pc and connect to it using the number quick support generates. Note: the first time the person will have to accept access to root privs. From that point on you'll have full control of his firetv from your PC. I do that all the time for my parents who live remotely.
I also connect to their PC so I have their PC and their firetv and can do adb install or what ever I need. Hope it helps.

I actually just sent over the team viewer apk. Seems pretty cool can you transfer files with that as well.

Yeah,. and if he is rooted and has google play which he dosen't as thats what you are trying to install. Then you could install it for him automatically through google any app he needs. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
One other thing to note is that if he gets the prompt for root grant, you know there is a timer of 15 seconds and he has to accept it in that time. I know i have a hard time explaining that too to my parents.
Thanks I think I lucked out and they hit the permanent root grant option on the unit.

Is there a permanent root option with the newer firmwares? I didn't know. At least not with supersu. The permanent option used to exist in the older rooted firmwares. The new ones' have to select grant everytime root is requested.

If you select the permanent option when you first root I believe it transfers over. When you update it. That was my understanding correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done so many roots and have never seen that option. The older firmwares with towelroot had it that way. but when you upgrade from those rooted versions to the new one, you have to constantly grant.
Are you talking about units you've hardware rooted? I just did one not so long ago and in the supersu program there is a choice that says grant always. After upgrade to the latest firmware it still remains.

No. I've never done hardware roots. just the software roots with the ethernet removal trick if you get the right firmware.
