Here is our custom firmware based on ARCHOS 70 Titanium official firmware dated 2013/01/29

Build information:

Android 4.1.1 build: archos/RK30A70TI/A70TI:4.1.1/JRO03H/20130129.142710:user/release-keys

Linux Kernel: Linux version 3.0.8+ (gump@gumpdesktop) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #10 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 29 18:58:38 CST 2013

Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean custom firmware features:

root with latest SuperSU version 1.32 (free version)
Google Play Store fixes so more application are visible/compatible
updated busybox v1.21.0.git (2012-11-29)
Unix like init.d boot scripts support, more details on init.d scripts here
changed permissions on external sdcard to allow write access

Download: kasty-archos_titanium_70-411-20130129-test1.zip

This firmware is design for the ARCHOS 70 Titanium, don't flash it on other devices.

Use Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.5 to flash the firmware.

This firmware is not yet tested, you are flashing it at your own risk.

I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have an ARCHOS 70 Titanium to test it, please report any problem with the firmware, I'll do my best to fix any problems that may happen.

Thanks to flow2013, hmsintrepide and globula for their help with the firmware dump.

The proper flash method is to use Rockchip Batch tool.

You may want to wait for hmsintrepide feedback about this firmware before flashing your device, as he/she seems quite comfortable with flashing.

Cheers.

I try this and it works for the 70 titanium. It is like for the Arnova 8c G3.

Switch the tablet off, press the volume- button, keep it pressed in and then connect the tablet with an usb cable to the computer.

***Note: The screen will be of when in flashing mod.

The stock firmware does not allow write access on the sdcard for some applications like Titanium backup which aren't able to save data on the sdcard.

When I activate Wifi, sometimes I must go to wifi settings to force my device to connect on my wifi network
Sometimes my device poweroff (not shutdown) when the battery indicator say 20%. When I restart I see 1 or 2%.
Keyboard is too slowly, I can't write fast without missing letter. I can use other keyboard for fix this bug.

I flash it too and it working fine. And like hmsintrepide said it seems to be more responsive than the original. The only thing i change is the governor, from interactive to performance.

Thank you again.

I dont know if it is possible. Personally i use Directory Bind. And i confirm it is working on the titanium 70.

It is specially usefull for games data, or just to lighten the internal storage

First of all thank you. I'm new to this forum and I want to say you that I really appreciate your work.

I can confirm the update procedure without rktools.

More simple than rktools. First I've unzipped the firmware and copied the "update.img" file on the root of a clean external sdcard then I've just manually wiped all data on my sdcard0 and after performed a"System restore procedure" (turn off tablet, press and hold "vol -" and connect dc-in into tablet, at green android robot, release "vol -", now press and hold the power button and press once "vol +".

System restore menu appear. Now wipe all via "factory reset" and after wipe finished, select "install update from sdcard" (the external sdcard where I copied the "update.img" file before. Wait till the program finish his work and then remove the sdcard from tablet and select "reboot system" from menu.

Wait until your tablet boot and enjoy.

Great job and thank you again.
