GFT technique not working on firmware 2.1.04 #9

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I purchased a new Archos 705 and, when first 
connecting to the internet, Archos offered to update the firmware. Like a
fool I agreed.

I've no idea if the prior version would have been susceptible to the GFT
technique but the new version certainly is not.

Is it possible to downgrade the version, or install an older firmware
version? Is there another crack possible?

I would really like to run Amarok rather than the rather limited music
player supplied. I also would prefer an ext2 filesystem over the vfat. I
need root access to accomplish this.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest update from Archos

I've got an upgraded Archos 605 Wifi as well, and GFT isn't working.  I get 
nothing
in the stderr.txt and stdout.txt files when I start the fileserver.  I'm hoping 
I can
still get in with the USB->Serial adapter as I have a Linux compatible adapter, 
but I
don't have the USB dock for the Archos yet.

I can't either to downgrade, is only allowed like 2.1 to 2.0 or 1.8.7 to 1.8.6.
is there any way to try this source and compile it to an emulator ? I think 
this is
the first priority to not brick your device. Also could we recompile a 
firmware? the
only we need is more applications or features like better pdf reader..
