Great news! Fully working windows drivers! Fully working TOUCH!

I've got the OFFICIAL WINDOWS 10 DRIVERS for the Allview Impera i10G!!! Stay tuned!!! I'm testing them for touchscreen compatibility!!!

Edit: Seems the included platform driver, although quite old... works as expected, I haven't experienced any touchscreen problems. Still testing, will go public after 1-2 days.

Touchscreen BUG IS CAUSED BY A WINDOWS SETTING, Windows 10 Fast Startup. To disable it follow this tutorial! or just run the attached bat file as administrator!

EDIT 2: Box Folder, I'll complete the folder with my complete collection. The drivers had a broken camera driver, but I've fixed it, the Setup didn't worked, I've installed every driver manually.

I'm using Updated Kionix drivers, the Comneon drivers which strangely work properly now (no system interrupts). Both cameras work good, Bluetooth works out of the box, (it could of retained the old settings).

To properly install, go to your device manager, right click on every device and click uninstall selecting "Delete driver files", reboot, do it again.... Do this a couple of times until your system is "clean".

Please post feedback!

EDIT 3: Complete driver package uploaded!

EDIT 4: PLEASE, PLEASE POST FEEDBACK! :confused: Does disabling fast startup fixes your system? ;) Is it a universal fix?:p I can only test for a couple of hours a day, if more of us test the fix we can be sure it REALLY works! :highfive:

Allview Viva I10G (Telcast X98 3g) bricked

Hi Guys,

I have an Allview Viva I10G and I manage to (semi)brick it. I thought that this is an X98 Air 3G, so , while trying to convert it to windows, I flashed the wrong bios. The tablet is booting to uefi, but I think that the USB port is disabled, so I can do nothing. Can you, please, help me with some info how can I fix that?

I suppose there is no way I can restore it without rewriting the bios via SPI programmer. Vol+ & Vol- & Power buttons have no effect, the computer does not recognize it.

Mihai, I think you were in a similar position. How did you fixed it?

I'm not afraid to poke around at hardware level, but any info regarding the procedure would be great.

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] mihaiolimpiu:
Hi, the only way to fix it is with a SPI programmer... it costs just 7 Euros to flash it at a professional... the difficult part is to find someone with the knowledge and willingness to do it.

I've tried every possible solution, but I couldn't manage to avoid the hardware flasher.

P.S.: If you can't find someone in Bacau I can give you the address to someone in Suceava that can do it... It's not worth it to do it yourself, The flash memory is surrounded by 2x0.5 resistors that can easily get damaged if you try to unsolder the chip by hand, You need a hot air small nozzle gun, some pliers and a soldering station to unsolder it. It would be great if you could find someone with a clip-on flasher.

CH341A programmer works, but don't abuse it as the memory is designed to work at 1.8V and the programmer at 3V.

Allview Viva I10G (Telcast X98 3g) bricked

Hi

Mihai, can you send me, please the contact for the guy in Suceava (through PM)? I'll try to find someone locally, but just in case.

Also, what BIOS should I write to the tablet? Can you please give me the file you used (or you think it should do the job).

Another option is to buy a programmer and a SOIC8 clip they are 14 E both, but they arrive in 10 days. I could also build a level shifter from 3.3V to 1.8V using a dedicated IC.

Thanks,
[Device Reviews and Information] mihaiolimpiu:
In my Box folder there is the latest windows bios... if you want the android bios you can get one from the tutorial... the drova folder from 4pda guys. It works without a level shifter but of course it would be much much safer to go 1.8v.

For programming, search Cylon computers in Suceava. Tell them Mihai sent you... ;)

I am looking for the Android bios for the Teclast X98 3G (HKC1). Could someone please help me to find it?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] mihaiolimpiu:
I'm uploading everything I have in my box folder... hopefully you can download from there (post feedback)... You have bioses for everything. For roms I've included links to the Allview Viva i10G which is bloat free and pretty good if updated (I can't upload roms because they are too big). I'm not using Android so, this is the best I can do.

Flashing Windows Bios not working

Mihai toolbox from 4pda forum doesn't work in Windows 10 x64?
[Device Reviews and Information] mihaiolimpiu:
It's possible... don't know how to fix it... I have crappy computers... don't need 64 bits, so don't have a 64bit computer... I mean, I have one but it's off limits... wife and all. :)

but, but flashing the bios is done on the tablet itself... when do you need it... from android you use an app, don't remember it's name tough... I'll check the original 4pda thread for it. Just remember to force shutdown the tablet as soon as it's finished.

P.S.: But you need root(bummer). You could follow the 4pda thread, but using the toolbox just makes things so easy... and safe.
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
I've noticed this from time to time. I feel it's gotten better since I've set the cpu scheduler to ondemand and removed all chinese apps (except teclast update). It still refuse to wake up sometimes though.

Could someone post or send me the original bootanimation (the intel logo)? I've lost it and I'd like to put it back...

root with mac

Hi,

How to make your method work on Mac?

Being said that I am not very used to adb and fastboot and I am not a dev but a power user (this is my 1st post on xda) and I really would like to unlock my new beast :)

Would be possible to make a step by step guide?

thanks in advance!
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
do you have adb setup correctly on OSX? Does running adb devices display the tablet ?

The script should work on OSX although I haven't tested (and won't have much time to test until the end of next week...)
[Device Reviews and Information] amadeusklocker:
Update re: rebooting

Yeah, I've had the cpu scheduler on Ondemand as well. An update for anyone else with this issue - I seem to have fixed the random rebooting part by changing the WiFi sleep policy to 'never'. Not sure why this has worked, but it's been a bit over a day with no reboot. I'm presuming something was trying to sync in the background, and causing a crash when it ran into WiFi off instead of not connected (and the device was then sometimes getting stuck at the Intel screen due to some other problem that I haven't figured out, and thus draining the battery). Admittedly, I've also changed a few other things (took the SIM out, removed the SD, and switched off location services, which apparently caused rebooting problems on some 4.2 devices before 4.2.2 was released). If it remains stable for another day or two, I'll start changing things back until I find out what was actually causing the issue. Will let you all know how it goes.

I think I did setup adb correctly but, to be honest, I don't know how to launch the script... I've never used adb

anyone succesfully instaled windows 8.1 ?
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
- Have only the x98 plugged to the Mac

- Launch the Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)

- Type exactly the following line:

[pre]adb devices[/pre]

- if you get something like this you're fine (Baytrail4427C076 is my tablet, yours will be different):

[pre]List of devices attached

Baytrail4427C076	device

[/pre]

If this went without problem then you can root by running the following commands in the Terminal (this is exactly what my script is doing) (add https:// in front of f-droid...):

[pre]

wget -c f-droid.org/repo/com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk

unzip com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk assets/x86/su

adb root

adb remount

adb push assets/x86/su /system/xbin/

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

adb push com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk /system/app/

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk

adb reboot[/pre]
[Device Reviews and Information] mblowt:
Dear Cycojesus, you're my GOD :)

many many many thanks!

I had to study a bit about mac programming and shell commands but at the end of the day I did it :)

Following are the right commands to root the device, fully working on my OSMavericks, for whom it may need help.

First of all, you would need to install adb and fastboot commands for OSX, there are many guides for it.

./adb devices *to check your device is connected

curl -O f-droid.org/repo/com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk **put https:// in front of f-droid...

unzip com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk assets/x86/su

./adb root

./adb remount

./adb push assets/x86/su /system/xbin/

./adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

./adb push com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk /system/app/

./adb shell chmod 6755 /system/app/com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk

./adb reboot

Enjoy your rooted Teclast ;)

[Device Reviews and Information] Zereus:
Got my device 3 days ago and i love it. Ultra fast and smooth.

While gaming it gets warm on the back. But not hot. I had this on most android devices.

I hope someone finds a way to dualboot. The device has enough power to run win8 flawlessly but i dont want to miss android.
[Device Reviews and Information] tumich91:
I only want tutorial in english or polish how to install Windows 8.1 easy on this tablet. :(

For me Windows 8.1 is much better than Android.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

For now only Ramos i10pro tablet support dual boot but doesn't have Retina. But the price is ~500$ - it's too much..
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
I have followed the following instructions to install windows 8.1: tabletrepublic.com/forum/android-hacking-tweaking/tutorial-flash-windows-8-1-firmware-x98-3g-5731.html

However, after the install, the touch screen was not working for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] leszekpap:
the same procedure is for windows ?
[Device Reviews and Information] chernorat:
Yes, quite simmilar procedure for windows. Cngaget has published the instructions in english for windows:

cngadget.info/2014/06/20/windows-8-1-firmware-for-teclast-x98-3g-instructions-english/
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
Yes although you'll have neither curl or wget nor unzip so you'll need to download superuser and extract the su binary from it another way
[Device Reviews and Information] leszekpap:
or maybe easier will be to use in example Vroot or ZuoDaShi method ?
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
I don't know ZuoDaShi.

VRoot install chinese apps (at least some kind of superuser app).

Personally I found the VRoot process and the cleaning I had to do afterward tedious, that's why I made my script. Having said that I already had adb and everything setup before.
[Device Reviews and Information] leszekpap:
eh nothing is easy :)

maybe I can find somewhere step_by_step manual to make root ? :) because as you wrote above one is for mac and there are some changes vs windows.
[Device Reviews and Information] Krystyna:
There are other colors?
[Device Reviews and Information] cycojesus:
if you have adb setup then downloading superuser's apk and extracting the su binary is easy with Windows own tools.

- download f-droid.org/repo/com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk

- copy the file com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.apk to com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.zip

- unzip com.koushikdutta.superuser_1030.zip (right-click, Extract here...)

- plug the tablet

- on the tablet enable USB debugging (in Developer options)

- open the Terminal (Windows+R cmd Enter)

- type the adb commands shown before, just make sure the path to the APK and su binary are correct
[Device Reviews and Information] leszekpap:
thank you ! :)

so I need to setup adb and then follow your informations.

Hello, my Teclast x 98 3G (HKC3) I have flash Windows 10. I have a problem with the performance - the system is running very slow, lags. I tried to update the drivers, but nothing helps. I will go back to Android, where not problem with performance. I used ROM from Viva i10g and the system ran nicely, except for the frequent disconnection of WiFi.

You do not know why it running slow? The screen of the device control.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1F2NgB_E2psRmNsM2hpXy1rLVlWTDlmUUI1ZkVrV0VvdF93/view?usp=sharing

Turn off windows fast startup... that causes very high system interupts. Also install the modem drivers... you have all the info in my posts... yoh have to be more explicit with your error it could be literraly everything... how can we help then?

The tablet is quite fast, on day to day tasks it's a worthy competitor to my Core 2 Duo T7500 laptop.

For gaming is a beast as long as you don't try to run Battlefield or something.

PS: Check the task manager for system interrupts bug.. it should look like in the screenshot attached.

PS2: If you are a Firefox user... install the nightly version or switch to edge, the current version 42 is unusable, slow, and the onscreen keyboard doesn't work.

This thread is about Teclast X98 3G, it's not about the AIR! Please, please don't use any of the bioses for x98 3G, or you'll brick your tablet.

For drivers you can try, it's pretty close except for the processors and maybe camera modules!

Allview Imperia I10G

Hi Guys,

After I bricked the first tablet, until I'll fixed it, I bought another Teclast X98 clone, this time with windows already installed.

But, apparently I'm in bad luck, as the CPU is stuck at 0.5 GHz. I tried almost all I knew, but still, no luck. I've upgraded to Windows 10, but to no avail. :crying:

Do you happen to know a quick fix for this or should I RMA-it?

Best Regards,

The fact that you asked me what is a Allview Viva i10G/Impera i10g/ Ursus/ Onda 975i/975w leads me to believe you haven't read the last 3-4 pages of this thread, and actually, by looking at your signature you have another tablet with a different processor: The x98 AIR!

Hey guys, I write here if you can help me with the x98 3g of my uncle.

Battery was running out with only 1 hour screen. I upgraded to the Kitkat (Iviva10) and thankfully seems that into enters Deep Sleep.

I have rooted and slowed down the cell at 1GHz. I also calibrated the battery, but the most I've taken has been 1hr 30min / 2hrs screen.

I'm desperate, I do not know what else to try. I think it came defective battery from day one. I talked with a SAT of my country and a battery change cost 60'00 euros. And I'm not sure if this would solve the problem. My uncle says it's too expensive. But I feel sad because the tablet is pristine and spectacular works. It's amazing how smooth running kitkat.

You think that I try to put him W10? Can you think of any way to fix this? If you want I can upload Beterbatterystats capture for you, or some other program that you tell me.

A greeting and thanks in advance :S

Boot UBUNTU from usb disk using tablet with UEFI 32 bits

I tested running Ubuntu x86 from external usb disk on my Viva i10g (Teclast X98 3G clone)

3g modem seems to work, I didn’t test internet but Ubuntu asks pin.

Wifi works after installing driver ( stops working some times)

Sound, touch, Bluetooth,cameras don’t work.

I used the following:

Viva i10g with windows BIOS (uefi32)

usb hub, usb mouse, usb keyboard, small usb stick fat formatted, usb disk with ubuntu 15.10 on it copied from a desktop pc.(or any other linux distribution probably). Android-x86-4.4-r2 iso image ( EFI folder needed) downloaded from

oldfoss.com/Android-x86/download/android-x86-4.4-r2.iso

Before you copy Ubuntu to usb install the wifi driver (instructions from

askubuntu.com/questions/623001/how-to-install-realtek-rtl8723be-wifi-pcie-wireless-network-adapter )

sudo apt-get install git

git clone h.ttps://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git

cd rtlwifi_new

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe rtl8723be

(remove the dot from the h.ttps)

I used “a small linux distribution on cd” and copied the ubuntu files with “mc” file manager to usb disk after formatting it to ext3

Format the usb stick with FAT filesystem

Extract and copy the EFI directory from the Android-x86-4.4-r2 iso image to usb stick.

Replace the grub.cfg file in the /efi/boot/ directory with another grub.cfg with

the following in it:

root=(hd0,msdos1)

linuxefi /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 rw

initrdefi /initrd.img

boot

Connect everything to usb hub.

Change the boot order in bios to boot from the usb stick

If you only get to the grub prompt, type ls to view disks and partitions.

Change in the grub.cfg file hd0 to hd1 or hd2 and change sda1 to sdb1 or sdc1

If you want to multi boot, I used “rEFInd” boot manager

and I can boot “windows 10 ” from the internal eMMC and UBUNTU x86 from the usb disk.

We can customize the grub.cfg and add many “Menu entries”

Probably Ubuntu 64 bit is ok but I didn’t test it. Debian 6 x86 booted ok.
