[FAILURE] OS flash failure ADB ENUM failed

Hi this is my first flash ever. It looked easy from the tute. I got a failure with '[FAILURE] OS flash failure ADB ENUM failed' at 28%. I tried some Chinese forums which respond to this search but Google translations are well... not useful.

Can anyone tell me what to do? Have I bricked my bran new X98?

[MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION] I'm experiencing two problems on lollipop v5:

1. Connection to cellular network is dropped randomly and can be restored only after reboot

2. Power button doesn't wake up the screen once battery drops below 15%. Only remedy seems to be power off by hard pressing it & power on again.

Looking for your help.

Could you switch on your tablet using "POWER Vol+ Vol-"?

If yes, you can retry.

Please, use Intel MFT procedure.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
You're

not right

saying this, it can happen depending on the version of FPT you use but usually it work fine.

Also there is so many way you can flash safely X98 that it's not a real problem: From the DOS with a USB key or from the EFI shell from the tablet, with those two option it's a lot safer to flash since you don't have any process that run in the background that can mess with the flashing process. :cowboy:

Use Chrome with the Internal translation on Chinese forums it's perfect ;)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Maxximo88:
Hi, just in case, do you have link to correct GUIDE/Procedure for both?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
It's very easy:

:)

First we need to crate a bootable USB key http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1869892/making-bootable-dos-usb-drive.html

Second we need to have FPT utility from Intel for the DOS (The archive has ALL latest version) https://mega.nz/#!4hBDRYCS!oJeL15719bdy5ikNwq44Izsc3_93Xjk_31kbtcHjXIc

Third We copy the FPT.exe (DOS VERSION) to the USB key.

Fourth Boot your X98 from the USB key and at the prompt it's the usual procedure:

fptw.exe -f Your_Bios.bin

Let is complete 100%

IMPORTANT:

Hold the power button down for 15 seconds to reboot. For some reason it can corrupts the BIOS if you don't do that.

From the UEFI shell:

Same thing except you boot to UEFI shell and you use the EFI64 version for FPT.exe ;)

I'd really like if

someone could tell me if the Front Camera work in Windows on HG6N HG5N

and others.

This way I will know if I have to fix the DSDT table in the BIOS or NOT

Front Camera did not work under Windows with HG6N HG5N like the 2.02 BIOS

It's confirmed !

In few days I will post an Updated BIOS to Fix the Front Camera bug under Windows with HG6N HG5N and others.

Other than the Win Bug it work fine so let's test it ! ;)

Perhaps a ROM for X89?

Bit of an off topic question Mirek but I dont suppose you would be up for trying to port your great ROM to an X89? HW wise they are very similar, though as the screen is smaller (but res. is same) the digitizer is smaller and may be a different make...

The X89 seems like a really neat little tab but totally lacks ROM options... Not even Teclast has released anything as far as I know.

BTW this is the programmer you are looking for I suppose? This guy successfully flashed his brick with one of these

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
I can say since I know for sure it's the latest BIOS that Teclast Done for X98 it was finished in May 2015 I think it will be the latest release for X98 Air II/3G IMO.

Maybe it drain even less battery... if they have build it it's because there was something to do better... In between there was 2.03 2.04 also but just for internal use.

so for the c6j6, any upgrade ? cameras on windows or android ? ... any idea ? and how to flash it
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rofejo:
You need the version 2 of the BIOS to directly switch from android to WIndows (and vice versa) but, with your tablet model.... flashing that BIOS version, the cameras will not work for you.

And, no matter if you upgrade your BIOS or no, with Lollipop the cameras will not work.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
Actually the Windows/DOS method is known to be more prone to bricking X98's compared to using Android.

Roughly twice as likely as using Android, based on a detailed review of posts to XDA developers and Techtablets.com that I did.

This is why my BIOS flashing tutorial uses Android.

However, if your X98 doesn't have Android installed and you wish to update your BIOS, you will have to use one of the other methods
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] iphone4toy:
Thanks. I restored 4.4.4. I don't know what went wrong, I did everything by the book.

Won't be flashing lollipop just yet. Too many bugs listed on other forums.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
Actually, I researched the viability of Windows/DOS vs Android BIOS flashing before I created my BIOS flasing tutorial. At that time, there were many different sets of instructions on how to flash BIOS. Some used Android and some used Windows/DOS. Most were very basic and left a lot to the discretion of the person flashing the BIOS.

And yes, I am sure some people made mistakes when flashing, but on average the same ratio of people made mistakes when flashing with Android as they did when flashing under Windows/DOS.

But the facts are, the brick : success ratio under DOS/windows was twice as high as it was under Android.

and yes, I have refined the script continually with the aim of getting the brick : success ratio even lower under android---

I am confident that it is lower at this point, I just don't know by how much.

My MicroSD works fine after a boot to Windows from Android and after a boot to Android from Windows.

I am using a Sandisk Ultra 64GB formatted as NTFS.

Under Android, I am using Root Explorer and browsing to /storage/sdcard1, where I can view and/or edit the contents of the MicroSD freely
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
Explanation of Flashing BIOS Rumors to clear confusion.

No t really true and moreover not based on nothing technically speaking. I will explain to shut of the urban Rumor about flashing.

The only 2 reasons why in Windows it's more prone to brick the tablet:

1 It's because when you flash in Windows run with many other process that can conflict with FPT.exe or any others program.

2 Also peoples that don't shut down the tablet right after the flash will mostly brick their tablet but this apply to any method.

The DOS with EFI Shell methods are THE SAFER to flash a BIOS

, since you are in a PURE environment without any other programs, services, drivers running in the background

BUT

you have again to shutdown the tablet right after the flashing progress.

The

only reason why peoples don't mess with Android method is

because your script shutdown the tablet automatically at the end, it use the very same FPT tool than other method but it's automated. You have make a damn good job with this script and saved tablet users lot of time IMO. :good::good::good:

I hope this will clear any confusion about flashing BIOS,

there is nothing mysterious or esoteric about flashing a BIOS

it's a binary operation ;)

Correlation does not imply causation. :angel:

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

I just use Windows, I don't use Android BUT since the the DSDT file is NOT correct for the Front Camera on some models (Including HG6N and others) with BIOS after 1.03 Version it's relatively safe to assume that

if your camera was fine with BIOS 1.03 it should be fine with my fix over 2.05 BIOS

.

Linux also use the DSDT file, so

maybe

Android will be more compatible with my fix ;)

Regards !

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

On Windows :cowboy:

To flash it I suggest whatever you feel confident DOS/EFI SHELL or TechKnight Andro method BUT

don't forget to shut down the tablet once the flash is done.

:cool:
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
The DOS with EFI Shell methods are THE SAFER to flash a BIOS

,

Unfortunately, stating it does not make it true, no matter how many times you type it.

By the way, I have no "confusion" to clear up.

I happen to disagree with that statement and I think several other experienced people here would agree with me based upon the results when people used to attempt to flash using the DOS method.

Now, I do agree that BIOS flashing is a binary operation and there is no mysticism that should be inferred about the process.

However, the simple truth is, when people were using DOS to flash their BIOS, more of those using DOS ended up with bricked tablets than did those using Android. It may not have been due to the utility itself, but something was causing it. I would also say that the chances of bricking your tablet during the BIOS flashing process are the lowest they have been since people started flashing their BIOS, if they use the current script.

By the way, I applaud the work you are doing to modify the BIOS image to make it as "universal" as possible. We have been needing this for a long time.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
If you say something like that you must be able to explain it, there is nothing special the script does except killing process and shutting down tha tablet at the end.

echo **running "cd /data/local/tmp/ && ./FPT -F X98_Air_3G_Dual.bin -Y" output= >> log6.txt
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/ && ./FPT -F X98_Air_3G_Dual.bin -Y" > fptlog.txt

The script mainly do: FPT -F MyBIOS.bin -Y from a script nothing more.

Unless you can explain me:

WHY the script is safer ?

It's just like saying "Red cars are more dangerous than black cars cause more peoples die in Red cars each year""

If I'm not right I will be happy to say I was wrong and I learn something new but you have to explain over just saying "cause more users don't brick their tablet with the script".

Best Regards

BTW:

Have you tried 2.05 under Android ? I don't know if changes specific to 2.05 were to improve Android side.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] h0t1ce:
I just installed bios 2.05 and I still have no camera in Mirek's LP v5.0 Rom with an X98 Air II HG6M. The good news is I had no problem using Tecknight's bios flasher and it was as easy as 1-2-3
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
Clearly you are not reading what I am saying.

To a person making the decision to flash the BIOS on their tablet, risking the possibility of bricking their tablet, the most important information they want to know is which method has the least risk of bricking their tablet.

The answer, based on real life data, is that using Android has the least risk. Not a theoretical "explanation", but hard numbers.

Anyway, we will have to agree to disagree as I am tired of arguing about this.

I think it is pointless and I have better things to do with my time.

Best Regards
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
"That's just hard numbers"

So based on the your explanation:

We should not buy or drive Red cars cause they have more accident and we should only drive or buy Black cars cause there have less accident. Like you said "That's just hard numbers" :p

Teclast x98 couple of problems any fixes

Hi Guys

firstly when I shutdown windows 8.1 on this tablet it stays on the screen for ages.. it initially wasnt like this

Ihave to hold down the power button until it switches off after minutes

what would cause that?

also I accidentally uninstall a kionix sensor for rotation.. as it had chinese in the name

so I found some install files online and got it working again but its 90 degrees out.. portrait goes landscape

and verse v...

I tried a reg patch but dont seem to work.

I suspect its a old driver as the original seemed to work

I did not order it yet under impression of confusing feedbacks and have asked some questions still not anwerred by them.

However I bought about 10 items there and was happy in all the cases with this shop. They were quite reliable for me so far. Another thing is that customs in my country are very picky and very often trace chinese purchases and i have to pay additional fees for VAT, etc. Up to 30% of good price sometimes .

Some bigger shops like TinyDeals have EU or US warehouses for their goods to avoid this.

Cameras will not work on lollipop for C8J7 with all bios versions.

You can have dual boot without updating the Bios.

If you update your Bios:

Hello guys,

My X98 is haunted :D

When the tablet is charging, screen wakes up by itself (after less than a minute) ? When it is not charging, there is no problem.

I have absolutely no idea when it began because I use to have my screen on for hours.

thanks

to the person about rotation issue

thanks.. I tihnk I looked at that. Ive download a collection of drivers from mega someone posted but It looks

like its the same I had and reg tweak. bought tablet a week ago.. 4.4.4 on it

for now I just stick for locking rotation.. not that I want portrait anyhow

actually when I looked the screen lock was on... so maybe they didnt fix it anyhow im not sure now

I think the slow shutting down.. I had might be cos windows updates is on? I havent checked that out yet

but when I closed this time it said apply updates and shutdown.. but I thought you normally get updating and a percentage

not saying shutting down with whirling symbol that means next to nothing.. typical microshaft :)

Problems Im getting so far...though

=thermal events even when not charging.. dimming the screen

= weird wifi drop outs.. it was totally unstable on my dlink dir-825 so I switched to another in the house

tried all channels.. more stable on 2nd router.. beats me why all the settings identical but maybe a firmware

bug that android dont like.. windows is more wifi stable though but has odd drop outs

so I suspect its hardware or poor antenna

its a C5J5

whats that mean? newbie question prob?

is C9J7 newer update?

I doubt lollipop will fix things.. but never tried rom flashing and too scared to do on a new device at least

Is the OS selection screen a part of the BIOS? I honestly thought it was a bootloader like grub. What does it do? Are the boot drives hard-coded into it? Does it employ different instructions to boot android and windows or does it just call each OS's bootloader?

Ok I understand, since I use only Windows I did not think about it, I don't think there is big cosmetic change from 2.02 to 2.05 mostly bugs fixed and maybe optimizing battery too.

When I will have some spare time I will look in Sources to see if it's part of BIOS or it's on the "disk" on the first sector. If you can take a screenshot from this screen it would be helpful to locate it if it's in the BIOS. :cyclops:

1. If I flick my finger across the screen I get very smooth scrolling. However, if I drag my finger across the screen , the scrolling is a bit laggy. Does this do the same thing too you? Other than that things are quite responsive. I have an HG9M for reference.

2. I am trying to play Speedy Ninja and the game is not working. It works on lollipop on my HTC M7 phone. Not sure what the issue is. Does anyone have the same problem with this game on the X98?

Keep up the great work. Another donation will be coming soon.
