As you may have read on my Twitter feed, I have been busy working away on root for the Archos 80 G9. And here is Phase 1.

This portion gives you root access via ADB. This does not installed Superuser.apk / su, that is Phase 2 which is in the works now. You do need to do this before you can do the next bit, so no reason to wait!

You follow these instructions at your own risk!

Note: This method is only tested against ROM versions 3.2.22 and 3.2.46.

How-to

Simply follow the instructions below and you will finish up with root access via ADB (root shell).

• Ensure you have ADB installed on your machine. If you do not, you can download it here - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid).
  
• Open a command / terminal window.
  
• Ensure you can see your device in ADB - do 'adb devices' (or 'adb-windows devices' / 'adb-linux devices' / 'adb-mac devices' as appropriate). If you do not and you are using Windows, check device manager to ensure that you have any required drivers installed. If you still can't see your device or are not using Windows, edit adb_usb.ini (which can be found at 'C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini' on Windows and '~/.android/adb_usb.ini' on Mac / Linux) and add the line ' 0x0e79' before restarting adb ('adb kill-server').
  
• Download 'Step 1' of the root process - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 6645915d4f252888a9dc0303519b15a6
  
• Download 'Step 2' of the root process - DOWNLOAD - MD5: dc16d0c53bc420be4b898481e31fdc2a
  
• With the 2 files in your current directory and your device connected issue the following commands (waiting for the device to reboot after the reboot commands):
  
  

  adb push 1 /data/local/
  adb push 2 /data/local/
  adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/1
  adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/2
  adb shell /data/local/1
  adb reboot
  adb shell /data/local/2
  adb reboot

• And that's it! Now when you connect via adb shell you should see the '#' prompt which means you have a root shell. Easy!

Accually turbo version has newer OMAP4 chip. Not the same that 1ghz models have.

the 1.5ghz turbo version will be the one using new omap 4460  .
i hope they will make 1.8ghz version also using omap 4470 chips.

[cajl-jbmm]

for the 8GO omap4430 1 Ghz
fort he 16go omap4430 1.2Ghz
fort he  250go omap4460 1.5Ghz

the really diiff is the GPU
4430 : PowerVR SGX540 @ 304 MHz
4460 : PowerVR SGX540 @ 384 MHz

1 ghz or 1.2 ghz it is the same ....

i wait the 1.5 ghz

hi paul

after the root have you sound ?

[cajl-jbmm]

if you have problem when you use android_winusb.inf
replace by this

 android_winusb.txt   5.36K   143 downloads

rename this .txt fie on .inf file and copy in your rep of usb_driver

i use this file because my OS is senven 64 bits

[trace3k]

The method works perfectly on my Archos 80 G9 and my Archos 101 G9 machines... Thanks a lot for this!
