This is a old version hack, you do not need a any hardware other than the cable that comes with it. Its alot easier now than this.

[OliRancidTen]

for all those newbies asking questions, check out my videos, they give a full, detailed description of the steps for this hack- and they are for those of you without the dock.

[JAY5MAY]

that was good. can you tell me or do a video on how to set up Animated Wallpapers on the archos 5?

[demigodsickness]

Hey, Do you think the older vision of the archos can be upgrade with android?

[jbunit2]

dude this is sick but could you make a video for Windows users? i got Windows 7 Professional. i dont know anyone with a Mac and I only have the minidock for Archos. its the only accessory i could find in store.

[Italian2510]

you need a linux distro to hack it. this cannot be done in windows. You can download ubuntu for free and burn it to a dvd. then place the dvd in your cd drive and reboot. you must set your computer to boot from the cd drive instead of the hard drive. ubuntu will load, select your language, then select the option that says something to the extent of 'try ubuntu without changing your computer.' now just wait for it to load,

[Christophert08]

My new archos 5IT won't play the sound from my Mkv files! I think its because they're in Ac3 (5.1). Please help!

[machinesayno]

GUY fawkes not GEE

[boboty]

sorry im french canadian and in french guy is pronounced GEEEEEEEEE

[BatmenInBlack]

@boboty Well pronounce it right damn you, because it's not the word guy, it's the NAME guy.

[pabloxlion12]

the dvr dock its really necessary?

[BKSeaby]

Where do I get the Hack>?

[JohnRater]

boboty will I be able to run this on 1.6.5.3

[boboty]

no just update to 1.6.54 google for a firmware link

[gator420]

Crap sorry I got it, ,,read side bar Gator..lol

[gator420]

BTW what distro on linux do you use? I know it don't matter, just curious.

[gator420]

Thanks for the post dude. Just ordered mine, and I plan on following this when I get it. Good job thanks again.

[JohnRater]

what about 1.6.53?

[punkonjunk]

I'm glad I didn't hold my breath, but dear god, this is amazing to finally see. Wish I hadn't spent 20 bucks on plug-ins!

Does this also work on the archos 7? My 5's screen cracked and my battery dock is being stupid with not charging or working well and instead of fixing the bastard I might just go right ahead and get a 7. Is there a dock for the 7?

[boboty]

yes there is a dock...and yes it works.

i still bought the plugins after doing this hack...although this hack does allow for free plugins it is not the main goal...stickin it to the man yah digg?

[Rhong21]

does this unlock the GPS also?

[hoonyar]

@punkonjunk did you find out 'bout the non android archos 7? i also have the 1.7.17 firmware on my archos 7 internet tablet.

[123joker187]

I shipped my archos in for warranty repair and they installed the 1.7.04 software. will i be able to use this hack still cuz i heard that you cant downgrade.

[boboty]

yeah you cant downgrade...yet...just be patient things are happening

[hurrycanger]

hope to see the hack for 1.7.02 soon. However, how could they make a whole new firmware 1.7.04 for you XD ? On the site the latest firmware is 1.7.02 =D .

[boboty]

no what it does is unlocks all of the plugins for you...and gives you root access to the Archos 5. Maybe later on in development it will get to Android but not yet.

[lnfowar]

the headbox dont work you have to press the shell to make it work every hour hanging Constant crashes (Do not wake up) always reset push button automatic standby after 20 min ,deathly! for me absolutely not usable Fm-Transmitter only usable with Headset Radio dont work good problems as an example Archos 605 WIFI Keep away of cheap Products :-( Dirty france Archos are cheaters and support are is unfriendly.bye bye Archos

[boboty]

I personally have never used the 605...i saw it a while back in a Best Buy but it looked cheap i waited it out and now i have the Archos 5.

Archos is TERRIBLE with customer service. Everyone knows that. That is why this hack was released. If Archos had simply addressed these issues and fixed them then there wouldn't be a need for this. Plus 20 dollars USD for a plugin is greedy

[AbstractArt0]

NIce work, JustFresh! I'm sure this will help lots of people.
