Hi,

I successfully installed CWM, but: now I have to revert to stock recovery because of an hardware issue and I have to send it back to Archos.

Any Idea how I can revert back to stock recovery now?

Thanks!

Here is the stock recovery, you can flash it like you did for CWM:

ARCHOS_80XS_fw_20121130_stock_recovery.zip

If I may ask, which hardware issue are you having with your 80XS ?

Cheers.

Thank you so much!

I downloaded the ZIP ... will try it over the weekend.

My issue relates to battery drain when an external SD is there.

hummmm ... did not work as expected.

Here is what I did:

1. Downloaded your suggested recovery image

2. copied recovery.img and flash_image to folder /dev/ on my tablet

3. following the instructions on http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/install/ I did

chmod 755 /dev/flash_image
/dev/flash_image recovery /dev/recovery.img

It ends, telling me a successfull write process.

When I now boot into recovery mode, I still get the CWM screens.

?! You see me confused ... any idea?

I'm not very familiar with this flashing method.

The regular way is to use RKAndroidTool.

You can download it from here if you don't have it.

You'd need to load the default "parameter" file for your firmware, tick the box for the recovery image and flash it.

ARGH ... I will sit down and write 100x "I am stupid ... I will think before I do something".

I succesfully flashed 3x again CWM recovery.img - then I realized that I should use a different recovery.img.

Apologies for my stupidity here

All works well now - I am back to stock recovery.

That sounds more logical, and good to know that the flash_image method works fine.

Please let us know on how your RMA goes, I'd like to know if Archos support has improved Wink

Cheers.
