[GUIDE] Install CM10 on Archos G9 Devices

So, you want to install CM10? Here we go then:

1.) Download the latest archos.ext4 from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/168Z262u/archosext4updatetar.html and extract it to a folder

2.) Download this initramfs: http://d-h.st/exz and this zImage: http://www.4shared.com/file/_yBZF1D_/zImage.html and place them in the same folder as your archos.ext4 file

3.) Make sure your Archos device is using a ROOTED ROM

4.) Backup your internal memory and apps to your PC / SD

5.) Power off the device and connect it to the PC (it will start booting). Open up a command terminal on the PC

5.) Run these commands:

adb shell stop

adb remount

adb shell rm -r -f /data/*

cd <folder you placed the files in>

adb push archos.ext4 /data/local/

6.) Wait until it’s done pushing

7.) Hold down power on the device for 10 seconds, forcing a power off

8.) Power on whilst holding Vol down

9.) When in Archos recovery, select Developer Edition Menu > Flash kernel and initramfs

10.) A drive will appear on your PC, place the initramfs and zImage files in it, and then eject the drive

11.) Press power on the device, and then again when it says to

12.) Your device should now boot CM10

13.) OPTIONAL - SD MODELS ONLY - FIX SDCARD ISSUES:

Download this to your folder: http://d-h.st/PPc

Run these commands:

adb remount

adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/

adb reboot

    Hi Quinny,

    First i want to thank you for your work on this rom!

    I wanted to know if this rom is being updated?
    And maybe what the current functionality is.

    The information provided was from some time back, that’s why i’m asking .

    Kind Regards,
    Yannick

    @Above
    I didn’t make the ROM, I just made a guide to install it, as the device has a stupid way of flashing
    It’s not been updated since the guide, and so everything but camera and video playback is working
