in onother thread about Using ArcTools Google Market and Apps installer for Archos Internet Tablet 101/70/43/32/28 is mentioned that to
Prepare your device.
if you already have a Market installer application on your device, you need to reset your device
but on this thread on step one it says that This procedure is valid for devices having an existing Android Market installed (version 2.2.7 and up) thru ArcTools or other ways
it cant be both correct right?
Reseting your device prior to Market installation is very recommended. It prevents a lot of issues to happen later after your Market installation.

Merci
Fomctione parfaitement sur archos 70 it
This item is not compatible with your device. Archos A70H.
Why does Android Market, version 3.026 > 3.0.27 installed through arctool 0.50, display the « This item is not compatible with your device. » message for some apps like Google Voice Search, Nimbuzz, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Messenger Video Plugin…
I was able to find them and install them long ago (market 2. something and fw previous to latest 2.3.81).
Not anymore.
And why does market identify it as Archos 70 H, when it is an Archos 70 IT 250GB? I guess some trick/issue in the arctools market hack.
As I said, I did manage to install those apps through android market using the markt fix (not working anymore apparently) and they did work (evejn if Voice Search always failed the first time).
How can I find/install those apps again.
PS: I lost them after resettinig android to fix a very slow screen rotation issue.
THANKS.

I cant add my account after installing new market
Hi Hau, I was having same problem with you but now I have solved it!
First you need to reset your Archos. Then re-install appslib and arctools. Let arctools select which Android Market version.
Voila, it should works now. Add your google account, fill it with your credential.
I reset android to latest version. Downloaded Arctools 0.50. downloaded and installed market 3.0.27 opened it up, logged in great it worked. I then closed it and reopened it and it had reverted to version 2.3.6 . Hows that then????
First time such thing is reported.
You may want to retry installing 3.0.27 over the 2.x, eventually after completely removing the current version.
Sorted, it was my mistake. It works fine now
Hi there,
Is there any new working market fix that will allow us to find apps like Google Voice Search, Nimbuzz, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Messenger Video Plugin…and other apps that are somehow hidden/not found when searching the new market 3.0.26 on an archos 70 IT 250 GB.

Hosed my market on Archos 43. It deleted my calendar data, etc. After reboot, when I try to start the market, it wants to set up an account. I say, ok, and that’s it. No account setup. Great. Not.
Can’t install apk either. Seriously?
So I did an Android reset, lost all my apps and local data even though it said it would not delete local data and I now know not to trust what it says and be extra careful to backup. Now I have the market back, but it forgot all my apps… so I have to find them all again… Not only that, but the reset messed up my Amazon market and now it doesn’t list some of my paid apps anymore. I imagine it can be worked out with Amazon, but this is the WORST app experience I have had on my Archos tablet. I think it should come with a much better disclosure of the risks and how bad it is when it screws up your device.
And any site that hosts ads that take over your browser and force you to close the browser or hit back to get away from a full screen ad need to be banned from the net. There is no way that is a legitimate ad.
Voice Search?
When I first got my Archos 70 IT 250 GB, I installed the market through arctools.
Using the market fix I managed to find and install Google Voice Search, Nimbuzz, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Messenger Video Plugin…
After recently resetting android to fix a very slow screen rotation issue, I have reinstalled all the apps I have managed to find.
I have tried both the old market and the new 3.0.26 (currently installed). The market fix does not seem to work anymore.
I CANNOT find the above aplications in Google Market (nor AppsLib) anymore.
Google Market says apps like Nimbuzz are not compatible with my device… so some black list does prevent them from being found and downloaded, I guess.
Maybe someone could direct us to the apk files for Google Voice Search, Nimbuzz, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Messenger Video Plugin…
And also comment whether they work properly.
I remember Voice Search would always give an error the first time I spoke, but then worked very nicely. In fact even Google Translate (which I can find and install) used to work witht the voice feature (not now though).
Help really appreciated.

Similar problem as leo on my A70 with latest official firmware. Nothing seems to get it to work and there’s no google account to setup under Setting-Accounts.
Any thoughts?
Same here. Does not work on a70 with July firmware. Not possible to go back to previous version of market. I just lost android market access completely. But I am zen :-).
Hi Phoebs and Pierre,
One question: did you have the previous Market version working before and did you have a working google market account?
Notice « Step 1: This procedure is valid for devices having an existing Android Market installed (version 2.2.7 and up) thru ArcTools or other ways ».
I did a « Android Reset » on my Archos to IT 250 GB with july’s 2.3.81 firmware to correct a slow screen rotation issue. Then I installed the new market, and it worked.
By the way, I did another « Android Reset » and installed the old version to see if I could find some missing apps… more on that later.
I did a third « Android Reset » and installed Market 3.0.26 again. Working fine, except for some apps missing… more on that later.
Good luck.
