Hi all,
This is my first attempt to contribute to this forum. Hope you like it. :wink:
In case of problem the FAQ below may help.
If any body want to share their Wizard ROM (e.g. CHT ROM currently doesn't have upgrade program) Yet the ntrw may not 100% reliable, they can just backup their OS ROM using aWizard and then share with others using the xda-developers ftp site.

[Introduction]
aWizard is a user friendly ROM Utility which provide a single place to do Wizard ROM related tasks. OS ROM can be backup and restore using USB ActiveSync connection. In addition to backup/restore, I have successed in modifying the OS ROM and flash it back to the Wizard. This function will be available in the coming releases depends on demand.
Some user have reported that they have successfully backup and restore their Charmer(MDA Compact II) OS and Extended ROM. But again. Please make sure you know what u are doing before your write anything to the Charmer. I don't have a Charmer device to test with. So do it at ur own risk.
Other ROM Types like Bootloader, Radio and Extended ROM will not be affected. To change those parts, please use cooresponding update programs and then use aWizard to change the OS to your desired one.

- Please DON'T reset your Wizard.
- Please re-plug the USB cable and wait for ActiveSync to reconnect.
- Run aWizard to retry the operation again.
P.S. You need to login to download the attached file.
Why only OS? You should add 'radio' too.

I am still finding way to do so... Maybe you can help finding out how. The code of aWizard may give you some hint.
But if you really want to upgrade to latest radio ROM (e.g. the T-mobile is the latest at this moment), you can download the MDA Vario Upgrade Program from T-mobile. Then restore your backuped OS ROM. Of coz the installed program have to be backup using Backup Managers first.
b - doesn't work now! You have a mistake in .bat file 'r' instead of 'b' :wink:

ahlok, I could successfully backup the ROM. But when I just tried to write the dumped ROM (exactly the dumped file) back to the device with option 'w', it raised error: 'File [] size not valid!'. What's wrong there?
And if I downloaded an official upgrade ROM and used Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool) to decode the '.nbf' to '.nba', can I use that decoded '.nba' file to write the another device with your utility?

Please run cmd.exe at ur PC and go to the lib folder. Then run "pdocread -t" and reply here or PM me the result. Thanks.
On my charmer I get the following output
3 partitions, 2 binary partitions

real nr of sectors: 116736 - 57.00Mbyte (0x3900000)
ahlok_hk i would like thanq for your time and releasing this little but very helpful application.
When i return from Xmas holidays i will try it with my Qtek 9100 (English version).
But i have a little question, what is .nba files and how they've been used?
Thanks psneddon, ur result shows that Wizard and Charmer have the same OS ROM size. I think this tool should be ok for Charmer.
I have add some code enhancement to prevent error of negatong. Please use the latest version 1.0c and see if it can write the ROM back. Wait for ur good news. : )

.nba files are decryted ROM. If there is demand, later I will post new version of this tool to modify the ROM easily.
Just dumped my Qtek 9100 ROM (english) with the following info:
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
ROM Date: 11/28/05
Radio Version: 01.13.0
Protocol 4.6.13.24
ExtROM: 1.6.7.101
and the ROM is located at:
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG.zip
Give it about 20 minutes to upload. Like the aWizard tools, I take no responsibility, etc If this becomes a popular ROM, I hope one of the forum folks will upload it to the xda-developers FTP...

Thanks rgoodwin! I sucessfully flash ur new ROM to my Wizard! Could u also share the extended rom? You can use total commander to copy the content of "\extended_rom" out.
Only if you promise to tell me any changes you see with this ROM version, in areas like:
speed
stability
GPRS performance/stability
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2.zip
Doesn't seem like there's much in there!
P.S. One more request....seems like when I find an app and install it, then if I say need to replace the installed EXE with a patched version, the Qtek says it's no longer compatible or missing a component. I thought I read this might be due to digital signatures, but I'm not sure if so or how to get around it...
ahlok_hk i would like to flash my Qtek 9100 with the new rom posted by rgoodwin. If i'll use aWizard which of ROM/Radio/Protocol/ExtROM will be updated?
Thanks rgoodwin again! I just played with the new ROM without install the Extended ROM. So far it is as stable as the other ROMs.

Dear bill_viper, If you download the first file by rgoodwin, you will upgrade the OS ROM. Download the 2nd one and copy to \extended_rom will upgrade ExtROM.
ROM
By reading the description of this utility I don't think this ROM will have the radio firmware in it. I could be mistaken.
Thanks again for the reply ahlok_hk.
But reading your description i found this:
"<w - Write OS ROM to device>
- Use this option to write OS ROM file to your device. Even you have bootloader and Radio ROM from vendor A, you can flash OS ROM from vendor B to the Wizard. No SD Card is required. "
According to the above i think that if i'll flash my 9100 with the new rom the radio will not be upgraded. Am i right? If yes, how can i upgrade radio rom too?
Hi , greeting everyone !
Before appearing ICS, I made a small update custom, including small changes in the original firmware 3.2.79.
This release is permanently ROOT, busybox is installed proper and is unique , Su and Superuser is up to date ! At the bottom you have Update of this version (activated vibrator and fixed adb command).
Included : 24/01/12
- new boot animation;
- battery percentage, and other new Icon;
- several applications in addition ( office free, flashplayer 11,adobe air.....+++);
- windows animations;
- Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc sound and other stuff.....
Now we have latest update of Su binary v3.0.3.2 , Superuser v3.0.7(41), unique busybox v1.19.3 installed into system/xbin ;
There is no need to install busybox.apk or busybox installer.apk from market, busybox is already installed into /system/xbin/
Also included some tweaks : - increase sdcard speed, - managemant ram memory....and increase reaction speed !
These are the files you need for install this Custom Rom :
- archos.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/archive/tOxGcPqa/archos.html , http://hotfile.com/dl/143897684/d5edc5d/archos.7z.html
- zImage => http://www.4shared.com/file/KXp8bLDa/zImage.html ; http://hotfile.com/dl/144036333/e7d0e75/zImage.html
- initramfs.cpio.gz => http://www.4shared.com/zip/HnEobpnG/initramfscpiogz.html
How install :
- because the file structure is changed , you need perform a clean installation : Recovery -> Format System -> Reformat Devices...-> I Understand -> ok -> copy firmware_archos_it4.aos into new driver -> ok. After reboot copy archos.ext4 into Internal Storage ( data/media/), reboot into recovery , Recovery System-> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Kernel ( for boot only to SDE) -> I Understand -> Ok -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs -> copy zImage and initramfs into new driver -> Ok ! that's all ....now you have clean install custom rom
Solved - md5sum into superuser when you try to update the su binary , now check md5sum OK!
I did not managed any version of .squashfs because android compiler can't install busybox into system/xbin ( .squashf is NOT RW ), this is why I presented only version of ext4 ...Good Luck !
****************************************************************
Update : 27/01/12
- now >adb shell - fixed and enabel vibrator
- archos.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/zip/dOscQIvA/archos_up.html ; http://hotfile.com/dl/143982123/b452656/archos_up.zip.html

Quick question, and I appologize if this is the wrong place for this, I'm currently running your 3.2.78 (ext4). Do I need to update the stock firmware directly from archos first or can I just flash this 3.2.79 rom over what I currently have. Also I "removed android kernel" earlier to always boot rooted if that matters. So what's the best way of going about this?

You can try this:
-get a copy of busybox and symlinks from a working rom (make a .tar or .tar.gz of G9's [email protected])
-copy busybox+symlinks in appropriate directories and chmod them (just to be sure)
-mksquashfs
This *should* work (I've messed around a bit with squashfs on another device)
First custom rom i've seen. Great ! Thank you very much. I will try it later
First thank you surdu_petru Every new rooted/modified rom, I need to start tablet with "original" rom to copy the ext rom into the tablet, and every time, restarting for the first time after the update from sde with the "new" rom, I have SuperUser with empty list (and I have to re-add all the programs in my list). Is there a way to copy the ext rom without booting with original rom? thank you and sorry for my poor english

Not yet, accessing /data/media requires a working system (adb is not present in SDE/recovery)
However you should be able to update using "previous" custom firmware- system filename is different
install directly over the version rooted 3.2.79.
Work good. =)
Boot animation - maybe simply text android install? =) Can i change it himself?

In my builds, I added a mechanism to do that, the idea was to add a ".update" to filename to have the initrd replace the old image with the ".update" image before mounting and booting.
Surdu_petru, I don't know if you did the same in your initrd. As gen_scheisskopf mentioned in the sde thread, wiping dalvik-cache is probably a good idea if build changes, it could be done silently there or asked with a menu ? And a common file naming convention between us would help, I saw that you use the archos.img, we could define this as a standard ?

Ok I know what you mean...and yes ! for Stock firmware_3.2.79 (files.ext4/squqsh).update exist into initramfs, but because I made some changes in directory structure into Custom Rom , now .update it's not perform .
Ok it's very good idea , for future I'll rename (archos.ext4/squashfs).update
Thanks for your advice !

Hi , greeting everyone !
If ICS has not yet occurred then it's time for a new Custom Rom ...
This Custom Rom is based on the original Archos Firmware 3.2.80 and is only for enable SDE.

- zImage and initramfs => http://www.4shared.com/zip/gd_SWiL7/drive.html ( are into drive archive ....drive.zip)

Great Thanks @gen_scheisskopf ...
With respect,

Hi !
Everyone is free to choose what version of software like.... , that is why I tried to diversify the range of Archos firmware ....everyone is free to choose currently between four versions of software released ( Original Stock Rom firmware3.2.8, Root Rom firmware3.2.80 , Custom Rom firm. 3.2.80 and Plasma Active,Thanks @LeTama ).
Of course expected and welcomed other versions of Custom Rom including various stuff !!!
On the other side, I have answered the same question about ram in the previous version ( Honeycomb Custom Rom 3.2.79 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462726 )
Have a nice day and Good Luck !
hi, sorry for my noob questions. I have used gen_scheisskopf's initramfs. After the first "long" boot, with pleasure, I saw that the "wipe-dalvik.update" file was deleted automatically now is necessary reflash your initramfs surdu_petru? are there problem leaving gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and rebooting without "wipe-dalvik.update" file? thank you
p.s. new icons for me are always better on every new version

Ok ! no need to use another initramfs !
And less beware :
- if you plan to do a clean installation ( go to Format System, Reformat Device...OK! and reinstall archos_firmware_it4.aos , than copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage data/media/archos.ext4.update, reboot and into recovery copy the two files that are in drive.zip zImage , initramfs - into new drive ) - for this you don't need gen_scheisskopf's initramfs ;
- if you plan to do just update over the original firmware or rooted firmware you need just copy archos.ext4.update on Internal Storage (data/media/archos.ext4.update) and into recovery choose gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage ;
I think you're better now...
Thanks for all your work! Just so I know, which file can I get rid off after flashing? I had your .79 custom rom before. Can I delete the archos.ext4.update file ?
By the way is the wipe Dalvik-cache from Supercharger OK?

If you are still in Custom Rom 3.2.79 you need to push archos.ext4.update into data/media and in recovery copy gen_scheisskopf's initramfs and zImage into new drive ! whith this you'll not lose your work , and Yes after flash you can delete archos.ext4.update from data/media/...Good Luck!

There is no need to worry about .update files, they are removed automatically.
I'll check Supercharger dalvik-cache wipe later.
BTW there is no need to flash suduru_petru init if you did flash modified one, functionality is the same, modified init works stable on my G9.

Flash sites not working
Hi
with this version of root I am unable to get Flash 11 to work (previous root is O.K.). Sites prompt for Flash to be installed although the software is installed. I can't uninstall as it seems to be part of the kernal. Installing Flash 10.3 allows Flash sites to work until a reboot disables it again. Any ideas.

Flash is not a part of kernel or system, it is a separate application.
Wipe dalvik-cache and try again- here is info.
If this doesn't help- reinstall flash

You can do that : navigate into /system/app/flashplayer.apk and try to reinstall it , it's work fine....you can do the same with...adobe_air.apk and BooksTablet.apk

flashplayer and adobe_air are just preinstalled in this custom rom .
Thanks , Good Luck!

Hi
thanks for your quick reply
I'am unable to delete Flashplayer, if I tap on the .apk I am prompted to re-install Flashplayer this resolves the issue until I reboot. Is this a permissions problem, how can I check.
I downloaded root explorer changed permissions on flashplayer.apk deleted it and re-installed from market working O.K. now.
Regards
Bill
Greetings, surdu_petru,
I recently installed this custom rom, into my Archos 80G9, and I have a question:
is there anyway to disble/enable the power supplied to de usb connector, in where the 3g Usb Dongle is connected, I use this port to supply power to a small fan, in order to cool down the tablet, and i would like to have control over it, before i rooted, I could controlled it by, just toggling the 3g switch on/off.
thank you in advance, for any help you could give me,

Because no changes are made in this direction in the original software, I think you can control as before toggling 3G switch ON/OFF !

Thank you, for your fast response, right now I have the switch in the off position, and still have the fan on, it could be the rooting process? , I rooted first with your other post for this version of the firmware, any help would be appreciated.....
Thank you in advance. ..

So you recommend a clean install? Does this mean removing the kernel or formatting the whole drive?

A clean installation is the best and safest method of installing an operating system....to performe clean instal go to Format System->Reformate Device...-> I understand OK!, after that you need install original .aos file, and than flash archos.ext4.update. ( and yes ..will be completely formatted !)
And if you have important data and you can not delete, than you can install over previous versions, but you need initframs with removal Dalvik-Cache mechanism ( see initramfs posted [email protected]_scheisskopf).

Hi !
I am pleased to present the latest Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.4 , now with Root, Busybox and Deodexed all files into /system/app/* & /system/framework/* !
In this rom original files have been modified, to be Deodexed and added : Su, Superuser, Busybox & ICS Blue bootanimation !
These are the files you need to install root version :
- archos.ext4.update in archive archos.ext4.update_4.0.4.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/149767565/ddfdbd1/archos.ext4.update_4.0.4.zip.html
- zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in archive drive_4.0.4.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/149766018/3229b8e/drive_4.0.4.zip.html
http://www.4shared.com/zip/2PK6zYOt/drive_404.html
Installation :
- copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage ( /data/media ; /mnt/storage )
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop
- ok ! and wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android update system for a while .....be patient !
The first boot take longer ....and also for the first boot you will not see bootanimation !.
This Root version works on all tablets gen9, is stable and can be used as a daily ROM !
( For not to expect too much between the two download ....now you have the option to download drive_4.0.4.zip )
If you have problems installing this root version , then you can thank him ( @Shano56 ) and please visit => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542058
A deodexed rom allows for developers to theme the rom and tweak certain apps as they wish !

Ac3 plugin is available HERE (you have to buy it). But yes, firmware supports it.
Hi Thank you for your firmware,
I'm kinda new to this..
and i think I've accidentally made a mistake with this update
in sde menu i followed what needs to be done
flashed then copied the 2 other files to the internal HDD of the archos
and after the reboot i never saw the update screen
it went black and keeps rebooting ,sounds like it stock in a loop
(i have the 250GB hdd model so i can hear the spin loopy sound )
i have ruined my device,haven't i ?
thanks for any help

Maybe I'll try a test version " Custom Rom Beta" - but I still have much work !
Hi There
Unfortunately the Update also didn't work for me.....
I already get the Android 4.04 Update from Archos, and i also downloaded the AOS File in case that i need it. After that i used the SDE to copy File 1 and 2 on to the Archos 80. Then i executed the Files. After Rebooting the Second Time my System is really Slow it is impossible to use it correct. Anyway i copied the the Update File (archos.ext4.update) onto the System Root. Then i boot into SDE Menu and choose Developer and copy the remaining two Files (zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo)to the Ramdisk, My Archos updates them. At next reboot i didn't see the Logo of Archos and nothing happens for Hours. i can boot into SDE Menu and i am also able to reformat the Device with the AOS File ( With the original Rom System is really Fast ). So do i made any Mistakes..?

Nice work again, surdu_petru!

Good Night

big thanks in advance!!!
one question... putting this one on top of your 4.0.4 rooted wipes apps and other user content?
just to check if i need to do a adicional backup
cumps
thanks surdu! you are so fast!! btw, will the OC kernel of letama works on this?
thanks surdu! very speedy
Thanks! I can't to get my RMA's tablet back from Archos.
puh, very fast !!!!!!!
thank's
(no problems until now. works fine)
Tell me I'm wrong.
In the midst of trying to install this firmware, I did something stupid, and may have bricked my tablet.
I did a "full reinitialization" (not through SDE) within the stock firmware after installing the custom ROM, rebooted without letting it finished, and thinking nothing was wrong, I removed the Android kernel. Now it won't go past the Archos logo, and I can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Is there any way to fix it, or am I boned?

Hi!
You can try so : press power for 10 sec. until the green led light goes out ....now : connect your device with USB cable into desktop/laptop and while you press volume down , press also power and wait for expected to enter into recovery (SDE) ....here you can do Format System->Reformat Device -> I understand -> ok! and copy original ICS 4.0.5 .aos file in the new driver that will appear! Good luck!
THANK YOU. Oh man, you are a lifesaver. Hopefully this can be of use to someone else if they decide to pull a genius move like I did.

There are two download links in the OP. Maybe you can try the other one. Crocko should be fine.
