New - Archos 80 Cobalt 900supersport 1.1 ROM

[900supersport]

cifs support

The modules from here should work

http://blog.lugru.com/2012/10/cube-u30gt-shogun-rk3066-cifs-ko-md4-ko/

maybe they can be incorporated into the rom

I've got these working by adding the drivers and setting permissions, then making use of init.d support to load them on boot.

If anyone is keen I'll put together a post with details. Plan to look at creating a deploy.zip for use with CWM to simplify matters.

Ot just make a new boot.img. In init.rc add the insmod command after the mount commands for system, etc.

e.g. insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
User will still have to copy the cifs.ko to that location and set permissions.
Or before the insmod you can set permissions for them with chmod and chown commands.

OR if you really want to make it easy for the user... put the cifs.ko module in /sbin in boot.img
Aftermount commands:
copy cifs.ko to /system/lib/modules
chown
chmod
insmod

But as you know ever boot it will copy the ko module. So not the most elegant way but works.

My thinking re deploy by clockwork and load via init.d is that the same deploy will work on all my cube roms too. Besides I've been looking for an excuse to experiment with CWM deploys and inti.d :-)

I would love the steps to make this work on boot. Thanks
All i ever get is an error mount share failed no such file or directory in cifs manager. I know I have typed the shgare correct as I went as far as backing up cifsmanager in titanium on a working phone and restoring app and data on my archos (to rule out any typos) but still the same error. Now if i put in a false share on my phone I get an error of mount share failed no such DEVICE or address, so a different error than the archos.

Ok you will need esfileexplorer or equivalent as you need to be able to copy to system.img

Insrtuctions

• Download the zip and extract the files.
• Copy the two ko files to /system/lib/modules
• Long press each in turn select properties and set permissions to rw-r--r--
• Copy 010insmod to /system/etc/init.d
• Long press it select properties and set the permissions to rwxr-xr-x

reboot the tab and after booting start a terminal (i use android terminal) and from the prompt enter lsmod and enter.

Hopefully among the modules listed will be cifs and md4.

Excellent, thanks Now my Cifs work I can see my pc shares. Thanks so much

[900supersport]

Glad to hear it works, and for an even easier install I've wrapped the files in a cwm zip.

instructions

• download the zip to the internal sdcard, do not extract
• reboot the tab to recovery (i've included Petrus's reboot app in the system tray)
• from recovery select 'install zip from sdcard' (scroll with vol +-, select with power)
• select 'choose zip from internal sdcard'
• navigate through the folders etc to find cifscwm.zip and select
• scroll through the nos and select 'Yes -Install cifscwm.zip' and let it do it's stuff
• select go back and then reboot systm now

Your done :-)

Hi,

I used the zip method and it installed fine. I see the modules listed when using a terminal.

Feel a bit stupid now though. How do I see the shares I have on my LAN - I have a NAS drive?

Thanks..

Edit.. Sorry ignore that. I found cifsmanager on playstore and see now

[900supersport]

Thanks for confirming the cwm install and answering the difficult question yourself ;-)

[Guest]

Not a problem at all. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people, your work is very much appreciated.

I must say adding this CIF function is extremely useful. It's so handy having one icon access to my shares.

Thank You.

Help! My device comes up as ARCHOS with an orange triangle beside it and it wont let me install the driver. It comes up with the error "Windows could not find driver software for your device". The tablet is rooted, it's off and in flash mode and I've tried it with USB debugging off and on. I'm using windows 7 64 bit.

Re: New - Archos 80 Cobalt 900supersport 1.1 ROM

USB debugging will make no difference in boot loader mode. I take it to enter flash mode you have the tablet turned then hold power - and plug in USB. Release power minus after a few seconds. The tab screen should remain black. Hopefully windows should detect it and you can select the drivers from the ROM kit. I've read of people having to enable unsigned drivers on more recent versions of windows.

[CrossyCriss]

I got it! It seems there are two separate modes where it's off and it shows as a device, both have different drivers (I got into the other mode with power and vol -). The flash worked fine after that.

• from a rooted tab with a terminal emulator. Connect to the PC by USB then on the terminal emulator you can enter

su
reboot bootloader

[/QUOTE]

can anybody please help with this

Re: New - Archos 80 Cobalt 900supersport 1.1 ROM

From google play search ron android terminal, you should be able to install android terminal emulator. Then follow the instructions from earlier on.

Alternately visit the app dev forum and look for petrus's reboot app.
