It's not a Forum, it's just a tag.

We have had the tag for a while.

This thread is located within the x98-air tag.

The problem is that without a real forum, there is no way to organize stuff.

It's just 1 to x ever growing chronological threads

This is a forum:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4

It's organized into sections, has moderators, DEVDB projects, etc.

What we have is a folder where we can start threads with no ability to organize, moderate or differentiate between threads.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] GermainZ:
I realize the difference between a tag and a forum, and you can use this tag in a way that comes pretty close to a "real" subforum for the moment. Moderators still moderate those threads normally (having a separate parent forum would make absolutely no difference), and even DevDB can be used if started in the Misc Android Development forum (though that should be reserved to ROMs made by XDA users, not shares which belong in Android General instead). It's not perfect, but it's definitely not as useless as you're making it out to be.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
Sorry if I appear to be making it out to be useless, it just feels like there must be a better way.

I don't think there is a person on this thread that hasn't been frustrated by it's apparent chaos.

It's hard not to feel like the redheaded stepchild sometimes. It seems like the "Motorola X98 Air 3G" would get it's own forum.

Thanks for the info on DevDB, I was not aware.

It's quite possible that this megathread developed because nobody took it upon themselves to try to organise this thread into separate logical sections at the beginning.

I'm not sure what, if anything, could be done at this point, however.

I really appreciate you responding directly to my comments.

Most of the users on this thread are used to posting to the new forum request thread and never seeing any responses. You may have noticed that we have quite a number of posts on that thread.

Hi,

Trying to install by means of Mirek's bat file.

If I try via the update by the android option it hangs as described previously. If I try via the recovery option it hangs with "waiting for device".

The other thing I noted is that the PC recognises the tablet as a media device. I don't remember this happening on previous updates?

Hi [MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION]

I have a problem on the rom downloaded and installed that works perfectly :). . .

I am sure that you have used script for "DATA_1_GB_SYSTEM_1_GB_CACHE_100_MB", but with Link2SD app, I read a /cache of 1 GB . . .

Whi ?

It's normal ? If not, how to solve? A new installation? And if the problem reoccurs ?

[EDIT] I have used Intel MFT . . .

Somehow you can use Gparted and redistribute the GB on another partition? eg. / date or / system, without deleting the data?

Thanks for all :)

Copy the "MyNewBios.bin" file to whatever folder you extracted the FTPW.exe flash software

Run "fptw -f MyNewBios.bin" flasher software

from admin cmd prompt

Let is complete 100%

IMPORTANT: Hold the power button down for 15 seconds and reboot. For some reason the software reboot corrupts the BIOS per many people on the 3g threads.

lawyer237,

This is how the X98 should appear in Windows Device Manager:

and this is what the details of the Intel Android ADB composite device should show under Hardware IDs

My first suggestion is to install the latest Intel ADB drivers 1.10.0. These drivers came out less than 2 weeks ago and the installer appears to have an enhanced uninstall/cleanup old drivers routine. I changed this tutorial yesterday to point to the new driver install package. Make sure you allow the installer to uninstall your old drivers before installing. Reboot your system after the new drivers are installed, then try Mirek's script again. If it still doesn't work, we will troubleshoot further.

MFT on Baytrail and iSoC drivers

This post is intended specifically for those having issues with the MFT correctly identifying your X98 when you connect it to the USB bus.

I was reading the MFT User guide (a PDF stored within the MFT install folder) and I came across this page:

Note the section and words I have highlighted.

This intrigued me, since all the instructions I have ever seen regarding MFT include the installation of the iSoC drivers and mention that MFT will not run without them.

However, I decided to test the theory and I can confirm that, yes, the X98 in DnX mode is identified correctly and MFT is functioning properly with the iSoC drivers uninstalled. I even went so far as to run a few tests and by installing the iSoC drivers,

I was actually able to get my system into a state where:

Device Manager appeared to correctly detect and identify my X98 in DnX mode

[*]MFT was NOT detecting my X98 at all and therefore was not flashing the X98

I was then able to fix the problem by uninstalling the iSoC drivers and re-installing the Intel Android drivers.

I have already updated my Install and configure MFT tutorial here:

Install and Configure the Intel Manufacturing Flash Tool on a Windows Host PC

However, for anyone who currently is having MFT problems, I recommend you try the following:

Go to Control Panel-> Programs and Features , find the Intel iSoC drivers and uninstall them.

Then re-install the Intel Android drivers ver 1.10.0,

The procedure for reinstalling the android drivers is here:

Install the latest Intel adb drivers for your Teclast X98 Air device

At that point, give MFT another go and see if it works for you.

C5j6 win 10 drivers

Hi,

I have just extracted with double driver all the driver that comes with the last release of win 10 from TECLAST. Those drivers should be compatible with all the version of the table. Only the camera drivers might be different, since they have changed the camera module.

You can download the drivers from there.

DRIVERS

You can restore this drivers with Double Drivers, once you have installed a clean copy of windows.

I have also created a custom windows 10 iso with the last updates from microsoft and with the drivers integrated. I can not upload it right know (wooooooden line, here in Italy.). I will upload it tomorrow from the University.

To Mikha 777 , message 12713.

Thank you for your prompt reaction! (I had to remove the URL references, as Im too new for this forum....)

But I am not an expert and some details are still unclair for me.

First my Unit is a 3G version and not an Air without 3G. To be complete a C9J8 type.

It has still a working windows 8.1 pro on it. Your instructions are to be carried out on this windows installed on the tablet?

Or on another PC , and than via an USB cable to the tablet.

I did not yet tested the DnX mode as I don't even know how to cancel this operation without a cable and MFG computer connected....

And up to now I had to go trough many Chinese trouble shooting steps , reactivation manipulations and so on.

So I am in for a " Grandmother like" instruction....

Can you spend some more time un this ? Thanks ! Pedralpi

Apps to SD

[/COLOR]

Crazy_Oni,

Mirek's ROM supports moving apps to SD, within the normal android limitations.

This means that the apps themselves can be moved to SD as long as the developer has not marked the app as unmovable.

However, an application's DATA is often 2 or 3 times the size of the app itself and the data cannot be moved to SD under normal circumstances.

For moving the data or for moving apps that are marked as unmovable, I recommend a program called Folder Mount. It is free, as long as you don't move too many folders.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en

It works well on Mireks ROM

Bios update
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] .oOOo.:
I've been having a lot of crashes (random BSOD) on my Teclast X98 Air 3G 64GB / C5J6 / Bios 1.07.

I was easily reproducible. After booting to Windows 10, all I had to do was swipe in the action centre from the right a couple of times. The first sign of trouble would be the graphics driver reporting it had crashed. After the fourth of fifth crash of the graphics driver, I would get a BSOD. The reason for the crash would be different every time. The last three messages were: "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT", "FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE", "BAD_POOL_HEADER".

I use my tablet connected to my TV using HDMI. Both the TV and the tablet show the same, mirrored, 1920 x 1080 desktop. I noticed that my TV and the tablet would display slightly different images every time the tablet crashed. It seems that the tablet has two screen buffers that are drawn independently. After disconnecting the TV the tablet would be very stable.

After tweaking the display settings a bit, I discovered that running the TV at 24Hz instead of 60Hz solved my problems.

Things I tried and which did not help:

Reset Windows 10

Going back to Windows 8.1

Install different video drivers

My problem is solved for now. Running the TV at 24 Hz is not a problem.

Some questions though:

Is this a known problem? I couldn't find any reports while googling

There are no graphics options in the bios. Is this the same for all bios versions?

The device might get a full forum if it gets some development on XDA, but in its current state the only two forums that would actually be used are the "General" and "Questions & Answers" forum. "Development" forums are reserved to ROMs made by XDA users (not shares), so those sections would be empty if a forum was created. If there are ROMs by XDA users with threads on XDA, let me know and I'll get in touch with the admins -- they might reconsider.

No problem at all. :) I don't think there's a real solution to migrating the information in this thread, but the OP seems to be doing a good job by keeping the important bits in the first few posts. (If more posts are ever required after post #5, us mods can add them for you.)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tecknight:
What about Mirek190's ROMs ? He is an XDA user and he is very active in developing ROMs for the X98.

Without his ROMs, we would be stuck with the stock Android 4.4 that comes on the X98, and that is not pretty.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mikha777:
You just do it from the same computer in Windows no cable or another computer involved :cyclops:

Just

DON'T forget

at the end of the process/flashing to shutdown the tablet by pressing the Power button for 15 seconds ;)

There is an another way to flash the BIOS via the UEFI shell:

You connect a USB hub to your tablet and connect a Keyboard to the hub and a USB key with the

BIOS file

+

FPT.efi

command and the

fparts.txt

on the USB Drive.

Important:

To be recognized by the UEFI SHELL BIOS the USB must be formatted with GPT AND in Fat32, the more EZ is to use the RUFUS utility to format the USB drive. So don't forget to format the USB drive before copying the files ;)

You power up the tablet and press "ESC" key to enter in the BIOS.

In the BIOS you go to the Boot selection and choose "UEFI Shell"

You will see a screen like this:

You press any key to have the SHELL prompt (There is not Startup.nsh on tablet it's a generic message in UEFI bios)

You are now in the UEFI shell, it's a littel bit like the old DOS shell.

We now need to know where is the USB drive so you will type "map -r" (Without the quotes)

It will list all the devices available:

You try to find your USB drive, usually you will see "Removable Hardrive" in the name somewhere.

To be sure you have the good device you type at the prompt:

"ls FS1:" (Without the quotes) and press "enter"

It will list the files so if you see the BIOS file and the fpt.efi file you are at the right place if not try another device FS1 FS2 etc...

Once you are in the right device it's EZ:

First we will do a back-up of the BIOS, so Type:

"fpt.efi -D MyOriginalBios.bin" (Without the quotes) and press "enter"

It will do a backup of your bios named "MyOriginalBios.bin" saved on the USB drive.

Now we will Flash the BIOS so type:

"fpt.efi -f MyNewBios.bin" (Without the quotes) and replace MyNewBios with the name of the bios file) and press "enter"

The process will begin you wait few minutes till it end and you should receive a message that the process was successful.

IMPORTANT:

At this point you shutdown the tablet by pressing the Power button for 15 seconds ;)

That's it ! Enjoy ! :laugh:

ATTENTION:

I join a file attached to this message with all the files you need (Bios file is named 205.bin)

N.B.:

You can use one drive via RUFUS.

Here is a image of the RUFUS settings you need. I highlighted the key area's in red. What this does is create a very small fat32 (with ntfs driver) partition. You boot from the fat32 partition and it will load the ntfs drive via the driver. It does this automagically with no interaction.

2: teclast_x98_win10_wim.7z - Copy the "images" folder to the drive.

3: teclast_x98_winpe.7z - Copy the contents of the folder "WINPE" to the drive.

4: In the bios select the drive to boot from.

Please do your research before answering. TV's do not have to be run at 24Hz. It's just recommended when viewing a movie because these are shot at 24Hz. Modern LCD TV's run just fine at almost any frequency.

I've been using a laptop, a Nexus 5 phone and a Chuwi Vi8 tablet to connect to this TV. All display content at 60Hz without any problems. It's only the Teclast X98 wich crashes badly when displaying certain kind of content.

The Teclast does not crash when displaying a movie. It does not crash either when displaying a full screen remote desktop session at 60Hz. So bitmap graphics do not crash at all.

It's when some of the interface elements like the action centre or start menu are being animated, that's when the Teclast is very likely to crash.

My personal theory is that displaying two HD screens at 60Hz is just to demanding for the graphics or memory hardware. By lowering the refresh frequency of one of the displays, the hardware is able to keep up with demand.

But I would like to have that theory confirmed or denied. I might be looking at faulty hardware after all. It's hard to say when you have just one tablet. :)

Try Link2SD. It works for me. You need to create 2 primary partitions on your SD card (one for data and/or windows, and one for Apps). Then you can move the apps to the 2nd SD partition; and if you buy a license (I recommend it) then you can even move your OBB files.

I do see that, at least in Windows. I plug it into my 42" smart LG via HDMI, then I get a blue screen of death and before I can even read it the tablet crashes. The screen of tablet goes black and unresponsive, and I always get stuck to dualboot option screen (see it on tv but cannot choose). Then I just boot the device on and off as many times as needed with the hdmi unplugged. Eventually the screen comes back.

I've tried this a few times with W8.1 and once with W10. The result is always the same. In android the tablet does not crash but does not work well either. Screen is unresponsive, and apps and os are laggy and eventually crash.

Ai! This sounds worse then what I've been seeing. I usually connect the tablet to my Samsung TV, but after your report I connected the tablet to my LG TV for the first time. It crashes very quickly (one swipe of action centre was enough), but if I set the refresh rate to 24Hz again it seems stable.

You don't have a lot of time to switch to 24Hz though. The steps below worked for me:

Start Intel HD graphics control panel (right click Desktop -> Graphics properties)

Click Display

Connect TV using HDMI cable (for me resolution changed to 1920 x 1080 x 59Hz)

Make sure the correct display is selected (top left)

Switch to 24Hz

Click Apply

Click Yes

A quick test running Android does not produce any crashes. I haven't rooted yet, so I can not use "Screen Shift" or "Secondscreen" yet. I will look into that in a couple of days.
