Edit 2015/05/03: Root procedure has been posted: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/archos-50-diamond/archos-50-diamond-root-procedure-recovery-cwm-v6051/

Hello,

We have received a few requests to get root on the ARCHOS 50 Diamond smartphone.

This is a work in progress: we have finished the basic modifications for root but we still have some testing and packaging to complete.

Our root procedure will be released soon when everything is ready.

Cheers.

Hello!

What about the output of your root method that will accommodate many people?
Even if everything is not ready for a simple beginner, maybe you can already published your method (via adb or flashtools, I guess)

Anyway thank you for your work. I hope you managed to get the root to early May because I have absolutely need me for the beginning of May.

----------------------------------------------------

Bonjour!

Qu'en est-il de la sortie de votre méthode de root qui rendra service à beaucoup de monde?

Même si tout n'est pas prêt pour un simple débutant, vous pouvez peut-être déjà publié votre méthode (via adb ou flashtools, j'imagine)

En tout cas merci pour votre travail. J'espère que vous aurez réussi à sortir le root pour début mai car j'en ai absolument besoin pour ce début de moi de mai.

Bonne continuation.

Hello zth,

The initial proof of concept work on the root is done but I have switched to another project for the moment. Work on the ARCHOS 50 Diamond root will resume in a couple of days, it should be fine for a release in early May.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers.

That's great news ! I did an attempt to compile a CWM recovery myself but it just wouldn't start. I tried alternative methods as well but got my phone bricked 🙁

If anyone have a Linux running and 30 minutes to collect some data for me, it would be much appreciated.

How Rooter all new Archos or almost

Envoyé par Cajl + sur 28 nov 2013 dans ENTETE

And that in a simple way (but not without danger) your shelves.

And that in a simple way (but not without danger) your shelves : http://www.jbmm.fr/2013/11/comment-faire-apparaitre-le-mode-developpeur-sur-nos-archos-en-4-2_1718

Follow the same procedure as for GamePad 2 : http://www.jbmm.fr/2013/11/archos-gamepad-2-le-root-facile_2200

Last rootée shelf: Archos 97b Platinum HD

For the file inf, information to be added is

;Archos 97b PLHD
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_4039
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_4039&MI_01

For Windows
To find these codes according to the tablet / smartphone, once the mode activated developer and the tablet connected in mode(fashion) MTP, it is necessary go to the administrator of ring roads(peripherals)
Make a right(straight) click on the chosen device / Properties / Details / Numbers of identification of the material(equipment)
Spot(Locate) the PID and at the MI

Make as indicated above by modifying the name, the PID, at the MI

Just a problem if somebody can find the codes inf for archos 50 diamond

Example (; Archos 97b PLHD
SingleAdbInterface % = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79*PID_4039
CompositeAdbInterface % = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79*PID_4039*MI_01)

If someone would have its codes would be perfect ???

Please disregard my previous post. I successfully unbricked and rooted my phone in the ugliest, craziest, most dangerous way (my phone was bricked anyway). I noticed in the process that when the phone is in "bulk mode", the system partition is read/write but if you try to mount it immediately, the phone will crash with what look like to be a buffer overflow, probably due to the OS caching.

If this sounded like Chinese to you, you'd better wait for the recovery from admin to be posted. If not, you can try to understand the rest of my post. This is high level on purpose: if you don't understand what I'm talking about then don't do it, you'll just brick your phone

So, the way I did it is the following:

Start the phone in "bulk mode" (unplug USB cable, power button + vol down. The Archos logo appears then the screen turn black)
dd the 23rd (system) partition to a file
mount the file
Follow the script of the SuperSU update.zip. Put the right permissions and owner on the copied files
umount the file
This is the tricky part: dd the file back to the phone. You absolutely need to use the flag direct otherwise the phone will crash after writing 32 blocks. If you don't want to wait for 45 minutes for the operation to end, you can use bs=4k (maybe a higher value would work but at some point, you'll probably get an issue).

Tx a lot csu333

Would it be possible to be a bit more clear please ?

I understand what you mean but i can't find the command.

Can u add the command to your short explaination please ?

Start the phone in "bulk mode" (unplug USB cable, power button + vol down. The Archos logo appears then the screen turn black) Ok i understand
dd the 23rd (system) partition to a file dd if=/dev/hda23 | dd of=/mnt/file
mount the file mount -t /mnt/file
Follow the script of the SuperSU update.zip. Put the right permissions and owner on the copied files chmod 755 update.zip
umount the file unmount -t /mnt/file
This is the tricky part: dd the file back to the phone. You absolutely need to use the flag direct otherwise the phone will crash after writing 32 blocks. If you don't want to wait for 45 minutes for the operation to end, you can use bs=4k (maybe a higher value would work but at some point, you'll probably get an issue).dd file=/dev/sda23 bs=4k

Thanks for this post

Follow the script of the SuperSU update.zip. Put the right permissions and owner on the copied files chmod 755 update.zip

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip as not one script..

This is a set of file (C'est un ensemble de fichier )

Thank you to specify the script to execute and include it in / mnt / file

Cordially
