Archangel one-click-root from the Archaism Team

This will give you temporary or permanent root on your Archos 101 - firmware 2.0.71

Update: Also has been reported as working on firmware 2.1.02 and on Archos 70 IT device

Archos are kind enough to provide a SDE firmware which can allow root access, 
but involves some significant changes to the system and they say that they will 
invalidate your warranty if you install it. This is a bit frightening for new owners.

Archangel solves this with a painless one-click-root which you can uninstall at any time.
It does not use the SDE developer firmware.

This was specifically designed for the Archos 101 with firmware 2.0.71 - it may work on
other Archos devices or firmwares, but has not been tested and is not recommended for them.

the android root community so much. Encourage them to keep up their great work. We are

When installed, this app will use approx 10mb of storage space. Don't run it if you don't
have that much spare.

Usage Instructions:

1) Make sure you have 10mb of space available on the internal storage
2) Make sure you are connected on Wifi
3) Run the Archangel app
4) Click to install SuperUser application
5) Click to get root!
6) Check everything is working correctly, try an app which needs root
7) Once you have root you can tick the "Permanent" root option to always have root.
8) Party Hard!

To turn off root, either just reboot, or turn off permanent root and reboot if you had
enabled it.

To uninstall, just uninstall like any other app. You may also want to use the menu item
to clean up before you uninstall.

You can create a script in /sdcard/sdcard/extraroot.sh and this will be executed as root
whenever you reboot, so you can use this to do any additional root functions you want.
If you make an error with this script which causes you a problem then you can eject your
sd card and reboot and it then will not execute.

Update: For advanced users, if you are certain that any extraroot.sh script you make is 100%
working, then for security, you can put it in /data/extraroot.sh and archangel will then use
that version and ignore the /sdcard/sdcard/extraroot.sh file. Please be totally sure your 
script is working because if there is some error with it that stops you fixing it then you
may get stuck!

We tweaked things a little in this version, it may take a little longer to get root but should
be a bit more reliable.

This version also patches the vulnerability it exploits and seals the system after.

Enjoy!
