Q1. The Factory Tool does not detect my tablet. What can I do?

This is almost always a driver or boot mode issue. First, run the Rockchip Driver Assistant again and click "Uninstall Driver," then "Install Driver" to perform a clean installation. Second, ensure the tablet is fully powered off. Hold the correct boot key (usually Volume Up, but sometimes Volume Down) *before* connecting the USB cable.

Q2. Can I use SP Flash Tool for this tablet?

No. SP Flash Tool is for MediaTek chipsets. This Archos tablet uses a Rockchip processor, which requires Rockchip-specific tools like the Factory Tool.

Q3. Will this make my tablet faster?

A clean firmware flash will restore the tablet to its original performance by removing junk files and software bloat. However, with a Rockchip RK3126 CPU and 1GB of RAM, it will still struggle with most modern, resource-heavy applications.

Archos 70 Neon Plus Stock Firmware (Rockchip .img File)

The Archos 70 Neon Plus is a 7-inch entry-level tablet from the French electronics company Archos, released around 2015. Powered by a Rockchip processor and running Android 5.1 Lollipop, it was designed for basic media consumption and web browsing. If your tablet is bricked, stuck on the Archos logo, or has become extremely slow due to software issues, flashing the official stock firmware is the most effective way to restore it to its original factory condition.

Important Note: This tablet uses a Rockchip chipset. The flashing process requires the Rockchip Factory Tool and an `.img` firmware file. This is a different procedure from MediaTek or Qualcomm devices and will erase all your personal data.

🔧 Device-Specific Troubleshooting

“No Device Found” in the Tool: If you’ve reinstalled drivers and tried the correct boot key sequence, the problem could be your USB cable or port. Use a high-quality data cable and try a different USB port on your computer (USB 2.0 is often more reliable). Check the Windows Device Manager for an unrecognized “Rockusb Device.”
Flashing Fails with an Error: If the process starts but then fails, it can indicate a corrupted update.img file (try downloading it again), an unstable USB connection, or, in rare cases, a failing eMMC storage chip on the tablet, which is a hardware issue.
Stuck in a Bootloop After Successful Flash: If the tool reports success but the tablet won’t boot past the Archos logo, you need to perform a factory reset. Boot into recovery mode (usually by holding Power + Volume Up) and select “wipe data/factory reset” from the menu.
Tablet Enters “Maskrom Mode”: If your tablet is hard-bricked, it might connect in Maskrom Mode. The Factory Tool is designed to recognize this mode. If it detects the device as a “Rockusb Device” in Maskrom, you should still be able to load the firmware and click “Run” to revive it.
