No I am not saying this, It sounds to be you want to install the APK into your current rom, which does not have it...........you would have to install the apk and then make it a system file as well, I have no idea if you even know how to do this so Hense my comment and the fact its just a another shortcut that could brick your device. stay with what works. better safe than sorry I say
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] T3rry1:
i have the stock rom right now, how is this a shortcut?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Chur2Much:
Because your stock ROM does not have the APK installed....... it would just be safe and smarter to Flash a stock rom with the APK already installed but do as you wish

here is the APK

my rom is right from the factory, i got this tablet 2 weeks ago and did not do anything to it, so i dont understand how flashing to a different rom would be "stock".... matbe HG8N did not come with this app installed?

This thread seems much more active than the Air ii thread so thought I would ask here if anyone has been game enough to flash the updated BIOS at all on a Air ii 64gb model HG9M.? I want to try Version 2.02 that allows fastbooting between Android and Windows but I'm worried I'll brick my unit if I flash it.

Hoping to see some positive information on flashing it on the Air ii 64gb.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] T3rry1:
i have the air ii hg8n 32gb, i am trying to do the same, but also receiving conflicting information..
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Chur2Much:
First of all HG9M is not a 3G model, if my understanding is correct 2.0.2 is for 3G models and 2.0.1 is for Non 3G. So before doing anything do some research before flashing anything

I can not Help you on your matter as you have a HG9M Model
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] T3rry1:
correct that it is non 3G, but i am not sure when i ever said it was HG9M, i have repeated several times, mine is HG8N

Hi I have c6j6 version with mirek190 rom and win 8.1pro. Generally I am satisfied with it just sometimes I have thermal throttling when I am playing some games like world of tanks. Will new bios 2.02 or Android 5 solve my problem or not? Sorry for my bad English. Thanks.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] insertvodkahere:
You can try to flash bios with that apk (updateifwi.apk) but wont do anything if its not a system app. I didnt tried making it system with link2sd but could work

Edit: i see you have air ii model, then you shouldnt try, you would brick it.

I flashed new bios on my C9J8 through android. It works correctly and it flashed without any problems

Now im testing windows battery drain, i hope this is fixed
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] c0manche:
Does your front camera work as I flashed the latest bios a few weeks ago and notice the front camera now has the wrong pci id in bios so no longer works on my C9J8 3g

same on the bios for the Air II non 3g fixes battery drain but front camera borked
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] jakep_82:
His accidental reference to the HG9M mentioned by the poster just before you makes no difference to the point of his post. The 2.02 BIOS is for Air 3G tablets. You do not have an Air 3G tablet. End of conversation.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rudnik8:
Okay i noticed very weird problem on windows after flashing newest bios

Brightness settings does not work. I tried sliding it up and down and nothing happens. Also if i press power button and put tablet in connected standby mode, the screen remains slightly lighted. I didn't have this problem on previous bios

Any way to fix it? Android is perfectly fine

edit: installing gfx drivers helped
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Chur2Much:
I recommend downloading driver booster 2 and update outdated drivers for windows that could be causing problems inside windows

Sorry guys I not added rom v2 today .

I have problem with unit. d .

Everything works fine until I flashed rom then persimisions for those files inside folder init. d are changed to 644 and not working until you change persimisions to 755. Then all mods work fine . ..

I'm trying solve that .

Or you change those persimisions manually after flashing [emoji12]

I'm happy to report that the 2.02 BIOS has solved my Windows standby battery issue. I was seeing about 3% per hour before, but I'm now seeing about 1% every 7 hours. That equates to a jump from 33 hours of standby to 700 hours of standby. This is on a C8J6 unit.

BIOS 2.02 question

Hello,

I would like to install BIOS 2.02. I am on Mirek's 190 rom v 3.1 and on Windows 8.1 Pro (my own installation).

I hope, that it is safe flash BIOS in Android (if I will fournd apk for update) or is it better to flash in Windows (I think it is possible, isn't it ?)

My device is C9J7.

Ok, but now I want to try your method just to avoid any sort of risk... But i have a problem: I install iSocUSB, IntelAndroidDrvSetup and ManufacturingFlashTool and copied the CUSTOM_CONFIG file in this right order, with administrator privilegies, but in device manager, where i should check for the VID and PID, i see Intel Android AD with a yellow question mark when i plug the device in DnX mode, instead of the right Android ADB Interface shown in the pdf guide to flash a ROM... It seems like the drivers haven't been installed successfully, but even if i try to reinstall the programs in the right succession, seems like not working... Why is that?

Maybe this is the step i'm not doing correctly:

iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-xxxexe: At some point during the installation, you will know that you have to connect the X98 with USB cable to the computer to install the NAND drivers. H connection is necessary otherwise you can install to see and shape the NAND memory of tablet.

If someone could help...

Hello all,

it is really hard to follow this thread if you don't read daily! I have been able to load new BIOS version 2.02 after installing Supercowz ROM with IFWIupdate integrated on it. I tried with before with stock rom provided in [MENTION=6223290]TamatiG[/MENTION] instructions, but I wasn't able to load the ROM because it failed in 77% with "No space left error".

Now, with new Bios, i am trying to install remix OS provided in previous links. But I am getting same error:

FLASH System....

FLASH COMPLETE!

RECEIVE DATA.....

FLASH System....

E: fwrite failure for chunk type Raw

failed: No space left on device

E: System flash failed

I am trying the flash-system_only.xml file from Mireks ROM and also the flash_nopartition.xml coming in remix OS ROM.

Do you know what is this error? Table partition not valid? I am able to load jcespi2005's, Mirek190's and SuperCowz's ROM. But it fails for stock and remix OS. MAybe parition tables valid for some ROMs are not valids for others? Any hint?

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

I made different and worked for me....

When installing iSOC drivers, I did the other way, with tablet already connected. At some point during installlation, it asks you to disconnect any soc device, so I disconnected the tablet then and installed completelly. After that, and setting the correct VID and PID values in tool, it works normally for me (first load tool and set DnX mode in tablet, and then connect tablet to PC).

Try this other way just in case.

Hello Jakep_82

Im also running a Dualboot C8J6 unit. Can you please tell me how you did do update bios?

Can I just use the tutorial in this thread telling me to Install Stock ROM 2.00 official firmware ROM and then Download Bios 2.0.2 and install? Is this how you did it?

The 2.00 rom at techtablets is for C8J7, can I use it for my C8J6?

What I notice on bios 2.02 on air 3g with android 5 :

- after 12 hours sleep the battery drop only 1-2 %. Not like ealier 5 - 6 % like on 4.4 . This I think not related to bios - only to android [emoji2]

- battery % work properly now on older bios and android 5 from 100 % to 10 % was dropping very fast with old bios ...3 hours of screen.

Now I have now more than 3 hours of ccreen and 50 % .

- swith in to windows works

- no drain battery in windows in sleep.

Sorry for my noob questions but I really wanna use Mireks Lollipop rom and flash the new bios.

My device is a C8J6 and running stock teclast 4.4.4 Android and Windows 8.1.

In what steps should I flash this files to do everything right?

I have downloaded Mireks flashtool for Bios, will use that.

Then whats the next step, install Mirek Lollipop System_Only?

How to install Mirek, should I flash with adb ?

Thanks in advance
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] juaaslo:
Hello!

I had before Mirek's ROM and I set ifwiupdate to system app using Titanium backuck, but same result, updating bios process did nothing.

But in SuperCOWZ ROM, it is a system application and it worked for me.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] lrobberl:
Well I tried multiple times like this, tell me if i'm wrong:

1- entered DnX mode

2- plugged the tablet and launched the SoCDriver program

3- unplugged it when asked

4- let the program finish, and then it askes me this:

In order to complete driver installation there are additional steps:

1) An Intel® SoC device must be attached to this computer via USB

2) The device must be power-cycled

a) hold the power button down for 10s to shutdown

b) press the power button for 1s to turn on

Please complete these steps before proceding to install/use the xfstk-downloader application.

BUT I DONT GET IT! I tried to plug again the tablet and turn it off and turn it on, but nothing happens, and i can press NEXT whenever I want. But after i installed it, in device manager it gives me the yellow question mark...

I'm running Win 8.1 64bit version... May that be the reason of my failures?

Cause i'd like to add that when i try to flash via manufaturingtool, it gets stuck at 5% and doesn't even get in droidboot mode, cause it says that it fails entering it.

I tried the solutions for the 5% complete problem in the third post, but didn't work (i think my problem is cause by the bad installing of the drivers!!)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mirek190:
Today if I add proper persimisions for ini.d after flash..

After flash now init.d files ( 2 ) have 644 persimisions and not working 50 % mods I added then you have to change them to 755.....then works everything OK.

If I won't be able repair that today I just relate v2 beta [emoji12] and after flash you have to change in /systrm/etc/init.d 2 files persimisions to 755 to work all mods .

And you have to format data because I moded virtual machine and some mods won't be working without format data .

Just make copy your apps via titanium and later recover
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] juaaslo:
I don't know what could be wrong with those steps, maybe there are several driver version in your windows and it gets crazy. Try to uninstall everything and start from scratch.

I just did:

1. Install IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0 with tablet already connected. It asked me several times to install non signed driver and I accepted.

2. Install iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0 with tablet connected, until it asks me to disconnect it. It also asks several times to accept unsigned drivers, I always allow.

3. Install ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.43. After that, I modify in settings the values and when connecting the tablet in DnX mode, it starts directly to flash.

This is all I had to do, so don't know what can be wrong from what you did, since it seems correct.

I am running stock 4.4.4, V1.00 and had originally had updateifwi.apk installed as a system apk, but I wasn't able to launch it through file explorer or app drawer (it wasn't showing up but did show up in Titanium Backup). I installed the .apk through the provided download link on here, it was a system app, ran the update but as people before it doesn't update, just sits there with the updating screen and nothing happens. No brick or anything. Also the .apk disappears when rebooting the android, still in Titanium Backup but not app drawer.

did someone try to install bios 2.02 on the c9j6 with the Mirek X98 Air 3G Flasher bios 2.02 ?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tulpenhaus:
I Wonder wether it is Safe to install 2.02 on a C5J5. Because thats what i got.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] benbraun322:
It worked on my C8J7 And it's worked on C6J6s even though it was only supposed to be meant for the C5J6.

Because all the hardware is practically identical on the different versions I would assume that it would work on any of the versions.

I think it depends on the way you do it.

I did it using Mirek190's adb sideload method and it worked really well.

Very simple installation.

The thing is that i have installed Windows only. Can i Flash through Windows? I just Keep reading about flashing through Android.

Btw. has anyone seen improvements in connected standby battery life?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] ZeAuReLiEn:
I think most of the bricked tablet while upgrading bios were upgraded from Windows so I wouldn't recommend it.

On my C8J6 the connected standby battery drain is gone under Windows, I still have standby battery issues under Android (stock, no upgrade through OTA ever available)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] tulpenhaus:
Thanks.

I just checked in my BIOS and it says Version 1.04 from Nov 2014 so I definitely consider updating.

I'm just afraid of having to install Android again just in order to Flash the BIOS. But that's what you'd recommend, right?

Apart from that, I'm experiencing the frequent issue that short swipes are recognized as taps, especially when scrolling horizontally in Windows. It gets annoying when I use the device with one Hand and want to scroll by doing short flicks with my thumb, but it keeps openings website links or apps and so on. I never saw this on other tablets, so there might be a fix? Anyone else having this problem?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] juaaslo:
Hello,

you don't need to repartition*, you can copy the installer-system_only.cmd and flash-system_only.xml files from Mirek's ROM and paste in the folder of stock ROM. BUT I had partitioned my Android for only 1Gb system partition, and stock ROM doesn't fit in there, it needs more space. So you can try to update withput loosing Windows, but you will be able to successfully install stock ROM if your system partition is bigger than 1 gb.

If you need stock only for BIOS upgrade, you can use SuperCowz ROM to update BIOS and then go back to your current ROM, or you can use Mireks tool (I think it is better option) to upgrade BIOS. IF you need stock for something else, then check before which is the size of your system partition.
