If you own this smartphone and looking for a way to gain root permissions, well then you are on the right webpage. Here, I have given a step by step tutorial to root Archos 50 Platinum without using a computer.
By rooting your Archos 50 Platinum Android smartphone, you will be able to uninstall the pre-installed applications on your device. Also, by rooting, you can able to install custom-built applications (which only supports devices with root privileges).

Prerequisites:
Step 1: The first task to do before rooting your smartphone is to take a complete backup of personal data like contacts, music, pictures, etc. Although the rooting procedure given here is not a data-loss process, take a full backup of your device data using an appropriate app.
Step 2: Next, enable “Installation from Unknown Sources” in your smartphone for installing the “Framaroot” app (one-click rooting application). To enable the option, follow this path: Settings -> Security -> Device Administration -> Unknown sources (just tap on it).
Step 3: Make sure that your smartphone has at least 50-60% battery backup in it before getting started with the rooting procedure. Also, make sure that you uninstall or deactivate antivirus applications on your smartphone as they tend to disrupt the rooting process.
Once you have finished all these prerequisites, you can move forward with the rooting tutorial given below.

Hi, the guide for me did not work, just start framaroot tells me “no exploit found for this device”. I did not understand why this guide talks about archos 50 platinum while there is the photo of the archos 50 platinum 4G. I own the second, for which of the two devices does the guide work? Sorry for the many questions, but I’m trying to root this device for months.
It is working properly for us.
okay, at this point I do not know what to invent, thank you anyway for the tutorial
