That rom wont work for me............Freezes at 10% install / booting to droidboot.img. Any reason why? I have MFT with that custom config / setting from the techtabletes flash video. What settings are u using to flash it?

I have flashed other roms just fine, but the touchscreen has issues with them. So I am trying to get back to a working rom. Specific HG9M rom

My settings

The 4.4 rom? I get the booting to droidboot stuck at 12% and tablet saying 'waiting for fastboot command' with the 5.0 rom. I got it with the 4.4 when I had a PID of 0FFF but when I changed it to 09EF it kicked into life. Other settings as techtablets. I did reinstall the drivers a second time, taking care to switch the device off/on at the right times but still don't see anything in device manager.

Before that I did use a custom rom, and various combinations of things to overcome the touchscreen, but the 4.4 didn't have any trouble in flashing or working. The biggest problem was downloading it - took 10 attempts. It is the HG9M one though so I guess you just got to keep on trying...

Just saw your settings - yes same as mine *but* somewhere I read that the chinese characters in the folder names cause a problem... I think I renamed mine and it got beyond the droidboot bit (that was a lot of flashes ago though!)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
That was it. Thanks soooooo much. Dam Chinese characters.

This default 4.4.4 rom is the ONLY rom that works with HG9M so far. At least that I have found. Others will flash, but they have major touch screen issues. Just FYI.

Hoping for 5.0 android soon.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Gloomba:
Does anyone else get a lot of random reboots under android? I have been having 2 to 3 every day with it. Very annoying. Also, are you not able to get to the boot option of changing the os if it is plugged in? This only works for me if i unplug the tablet from a power source. If i could get it to stop freezing and rebooting i would be very happy with this tablet. (also not freezing during games would be good....)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
I have not yet. HG9M model. Anyway the 4.4.4 rom stock rom is pretty bad. Hopefully android 5 will be much better.

I don't seem to have ifwi.apk to update bios on andriod. Why would that be? stock rom.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Need to root android is my guess.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Can't update my bios. HG9M. Using Updateifwi. Just stays at upgrading this may take a few min. I am rooted..........

WTF could be causing this issue? Android 4.4.4 stock.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
Can someone clarify. Are the windows drivers on techtablets.com the latest drivers AND are they perfect for the X98 air II? they are listed as being for the 3G model.

There seems to be newer drivers on the telecast forums, but since its all chinese and need an account to download, i can't get them. :(
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] intruduh:
It's a good feeling, isn't it :) After all the roms that fail and you eventually get a stock rom back. I noticed you used flash.xml - have you got the final partition table on the device? I can't get one from fdisk and haven't found an android equivalent app yet (a windows partition download helps but I'm not really familiar with it), but I'm interested in your data partition size after a stock partition.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] xanderluck:
Thanks, finally i have succesfully flashed my tab, the problem was that every time i tried to flash with IMF it stop to droidboot.img with this prompt:

fastboot cmd waiting

So, after a lot of attempts i have completed flash from cli with the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot continue

Now all is ok, thanks for your help.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mullepol:
Which did you use of the 2 Baidu files? Dual boot or Android?

And the commands you gave, does it do a clean install? I'm looking to just flash Android without losing my current Windows installation.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] xanderluck:
Dual with clean install, later i will try to install windows 8.1 with .NET.

I'm not an expert but if you have windows that take all space, i think that you will have to clean, install android with partition.tpl 5000 and then reinstall windows.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] xxLeoxx93:
I used the dualboot bios for my x98 air 2 https://mega.co.nz/#!xIMBkTrY!jts_oUbhMvJ8Fnhn1YYCVwxbNU6gmhkQ_EE2NnclPl0

I installed only windows and it works fine ;)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
It seemed to give me 20GB android install. Rest is left for windows. I want to re-install windows as well, but am waiting to get andriod 5.0 working.

I have HG9M aka 64GB dual boot.

In all honesty Android works better than windows on a tablet period. WIndows 10 may change that.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Gloomba:
I don't know that I would say android is better period. Both operating systems have their pros and cons. I really like the ability to use both, though i have been using android more so far, that is mainly for the games.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
Yeah I agree. Having both is really the point of this tablet after all. :)

And if you have an external monitor setup / keyboard / mouse, windows is of course the better option.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] bboy521:
Last week I bought the Teclast X98 Air II 32gb with android on it?

How are the experiences with it?

Because mine isn't here yet.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
Mine has no issues with android at all. Just make sure you root it and remove the chinese apps with titanium.

Actually my tablet wont read an SD card. Any idea why that is? It wont mount on android!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] deepmenace:
is the card formatted at FAT? try that...

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

i seem to swap between the two at the moment. i like windows because it feels snappier and faster....android lags a bit for me. BUT! Android has much better battery life and i own and use many more google apps....

its a difficult decision....32gb isnt really enough to use both OS properly.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] SUPERC0C0:
Hello family! I'm waiting to get my teclast x98 air 2 64gb dualboot. Important something to do When you have it? I'm looking roms, how to root, etc... and only I got for the model 3g.It is the same for both models (with 3g and without 3g) ?.thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] kinhvanhoa:
Hi, all,

I've been away from this forum for a while. A couple of days ago, I updated my Android with C6J6 but this one cause the problem of the camera upside-down.

As I remembered, the android rom modified directly from the stock android available on Telcalst website does not cause any problem for AIR II.

Does anyone point out the most recent android rom I could flash ?

I am using DUAL BOOT (Android/Windows8.1) system by the way.

Many thanks in advance. :)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Davercade:
I can't remember but I'm sure I had that issue although it was a while ago and may have been my phone :confused: sorry but either way this sorted me out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] dagrim1:
Hmmm, is it formatted as NTFS? With some roms I had issues with NTFS formatted cards, try formatting it as FAT and check again.

Real close to pulling the trigger on a Teclast X98 II 64gb dual boot for $209 from Aliexpress. I can see that I am a broken record here but man this thread is a mess of information almost to the point of being dangerous. So many different versions and models, I can see how someone could end up killing their tab flashing the wrong things.

Just looking for advice, is this tab worth it, coming form a Nook HD+ running Kit kat

what is best way to root android?

are there any must do things to get optimal performance on new unit out of the box?

thanks in advance I have tried to read but not knowing what model I end up with till purchased makes it hard to gather info

Help a noob pls

I bought this version: http://www.tinydeal.com/-p-142141.html

I have no idea what the model number is.

I want to install the Lollipop, but I

1. don't know the model number

2. don't know how to

Please help a noob out
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
I bought this same setup and same price. Its is nice / rooting is easy. Just need 2 pc programs and roots in 5 min. I have no complains other than the actual size 8.9 inches is a little tough to hold and use. I am coming from a 7 inch though so this makes sense.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Gloomba:
I bought that same model from the same people. Like the previous poster said, rooting is easy. Do be warned that the emmc drive is ****tily slow on this one. 110 read speeds max. And of course the one I got I'm pretty sure is defective as it crashed several times a day in both operating systems. Besides that it works as well as I would expect. The touchscreen isn't perfect, it does have problems telling if I am swiping in from the bezel for a gesture. Besides that it works as well as I would expect.

Does anyone know where I can get the stock HG9M rom? I have tried downloading it from the dl.vmall site, but it is so slow it always fails after downloading less than half of it. The seller is a moron and thinks if I reinstall android that my crashing problems (in both windows and android) will be fixed. So I want to reinstall the rom and then tell them they are morons and please refund my money or replace my faulty tablet.

Lollipop Root

I successfully got lollipop on mine, but has anyone been able to root their tab? I attempted Kingo Root, Kingroot and iRoot, but none of them really works.

They all say that the root was successful, but when I check with root checker it still says that my Teclast does not have root access. Anyone have an advice?

Also thanks to dagrim1 for his tutorial. Helped a lot.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Leader2light:
Is it out of beta yet?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] ayyyyylmao:
no, but does it matter?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] dagrim1:
I believe I rooted it using this:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096

And then flashing a supersu from there...

But as I bricked my x98 atm I can not say for sure. THink I had the same issue btw, also with x98toolbox. Said it was rooted, but it was not. Managed to root it in the end, as I said using the thread above to get a temp cwm working an flashing from there.

And ehm, can;t even recall making a tutorial but no problem! :p
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] zijin_cheng:
Does anyone here know the maximum brightness of this tablet in cd/m2 or nits? I've been searching on google and I've found 300nits, is that true?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] ayyyyylmao:
Haha thank you will give it a try once I get home.

By tutorial I meant your instructions on changing the droidboot.img and flash.xml. helped a lot.

I have opted to purchase this tablet and hopefully it will arrive on Monday. I have read some post about Ipad Air cases working with this tablet but i am reluctant to order something sight unseen in case it does not match up well with the buttons. I am ideally looking for a case with a bluetooth keyboard. What has worked for those of you who have the tablet already
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] k9castro:
If you do get an iPad cover, let us know if it fits (it most likely will but port holes, etc... May be off) In addition, I recommend you only Root the thing for now, until someone comes up with a recognized recovery like Twrp or CWM because it does seem to work just fine out of the box, sans Chinese apps on the Android side and Chinese language on the Win side...
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MrRimmer:
I've had 2 ipad Air covers on mine and they both fit superbly. The rear camera is blocked and ports are a problem but you just have to get something like a Belkin that holds the tablet at the corners.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] k9castro:
Thanks for the info, I may get a belkin cover as the cheap Chinese one I got w/ my Tablet is crap.

Is 64 to slow?

So... I really want to get the 64 GB versions but I've seen several people claim that the 32 GB version has a much faster emmc. Is there a specific model/seller that maybe has a faster emmc that is also 64 GB? Otherwise, I suppose I could just get the 3G version which I think does have a faster drive, but I really don't care about the 3G portion so would rather save some money.

3d update.zip after lollipop

Hey guys, another question.

After updating to 5.0, I constantly get error when trying to flash the 3d update.zip on teclastupdatetool. Anyone know a solution? Or am I stuck with this lag 3d gameplay?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mcord11758:
Maybe I miss read but I think it is reverse. The 32gb has the slower Emmc and the 64 has the faster one. I could be wrong
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] paulbram:
I've only seen a few reports about the emmc drive being slow. Does anyone have a 64GB version that has a good emmc drive?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] RyanDre:
I have had a x98 for quite a few month now

And I think it's great. Mine is 64gb dual boot 3g. Battery lasts well in both win and Android. I have a cheap I pad air leather case with the velcro flap. It hides the camera and earphone jack but I punched a hole in it for the earphone. I rooted it watching you tube videos which I think involved using both king root and Iroot. Only problem noticed so far is sometimes in Android the WiFi drops off and it has to reconnect. Battery life in both OS has been good. I got rid of all the Chinese apps and use Nova launcher.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Gloomba:
I have a 64gb one and it is the slowest I have seen. And it is a hynix which I had read is usually fast. I know at least one other person that tested an HG9M also has the same ****ty slow speeds.

If you flashed the wrong bios I'm afraid you bricked it and can only fix it using external tools to connect the chip to the computer... You'd need these afaik:

Received my programmer yesterday and finally managed to revive my tablet!

I have no idea how in the end, I tried many times erasing the winbond chip and reflashing but it seemed to fail all the time. But suddenly the tablet booted again. I am now doubting if I should try reflashing the bios again, just to figure out the how and why but first I'm gonna do some more reading.

Apparently there is a risk using the programmer I mentioned in an earlier post as the winbond chip operates at 1.75-1.9v while the programmer works at 3.3v (or something like that). This means there is a risk of frying the chip, but others mentioned they succeeded and in my case it also seemed to have worked.

Also there are people saying the battery must be desoldered (disconnected) in order for things to work, but I didn't remove the battery and it worked fine...

All in all, success but I'm not sure if I could do it again ;)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mcord11758:
has anyone who has the 64gb fual boot manage to increase windows partition without having to reflash everything? Ideally I would like to reduce android down to around 16gb and use the remainder of the space for windows. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated

Is android 5.0 out of beta yet????
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] dagrim1:
Don't think so, still beta...

Btw, apparently I flashed the bios from the android 5.0 beta teclast thread and I am now no longer suffering from the sleep battery drain it seems! No decrease after 2-3 hrs sleep.

Btw, flashing the bios from windows on the tablet bricked my tablet. Flashing it using the extrernal programmer seems to have worked :)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HunterX7:
Do you mean you managed to root the lollipop rom?

I tried using the same method but when it comes to boot the cwm recovery nothing happens.

I also tried booting in a temporary recovery but the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command it's not recognized.

Update:

Ignore the previous underlined sentence, the command is executed but there is no compatible custom recovery to run, this is why it fails.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] dagrim1:
Yeah, I rooted the lollipop rom. I think I did using that method, as the kitkat roms could be rooted with the x98 toolbox...

Had to choose the T3 option I believe, or at least... That seemed to work for me.

I might have to check again though because it has been a little while ago and I messed around a LOT.

*edit*

Ok, so I checked and indeed I used above method. Connect the tablet in 'android' os with debugging enabled.

Run the launcher.bat, type 'ACCEPT' as instructed and choose option T3.

The tablet should reboot to fastboot mode, but for me it just turned off. I just powered it on and (after choosing android) it went on to fastboot mode and the recovery launcher would continue. You can see the commands on the tablet as well as on the command prompt. After that it will boot to recovery mode (only seen on the tablet) after which you will get into CWM (screen is upside down btw, known bug). Now you can flash SuperSU (I used 2.46) and you should get root...

Perhaps install supersu from the playstore, just in case.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HunterX7:
As I mentioned before, I did the same things but when it comes to boot in CWM recovery nothing happens, which version of the tablet you have?

Which version of the lollipop rom you flashed, the one for HG9M?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] dagrim1:
Up to what point does it work? Does it try to reboot? As I mentioned, instead of rebooting it shuts down for me after which I have to start it up manually... But dunno then, driver issue?

And yeah, the HG9M lollipop version

Anyone knows if Remix OS works on Air II (someone posted pics and link to dl in Air 3G thread)?

Sent from my eXposed C6603
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HunterX7:
It's not a driver related issue, the communication with the terminal is ok, it executes all the commands, but when it comes to boot in the new temporary recovery it just doesn't do anything, even though there are no errors on the cmd or the terminal itself.

It seems like the booting command is disabled or the recovery is not compatible with this device, this is why I asked you which version of the rom you flashed and which model of the tablet you have.

I just flashed it and it works, I will now test the rom for few days and write down the problems that I will face during the test time.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] dagrim1:
Just flashed the RemixOS myself as well and setting up as I type this. By default the play store is frozen, install an app like link2sd to unfreeze the necessary apps. Rooting can be done using x98 toolbox.

First impressions are ok, feels fluid. Theming issue with titanium backup (white text on white background) but managed to restore apps anyway.

There is no support for third party launchers! Trying to see if I can work around that...

Ok, there is a way to use 3rd party launchers: https://www.jide.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/750/

Tablet gets pretty hot all the time though, 55+ degrees. Can't really pinpoint why.

Also, playstore and all seem to get frozen at each boot. All in all too much hassle for me now, going back to Android 5.0/Lollipop
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] HunterX7:
I tried it for a few days and I can say that the RemixOS is the best rom I ever had on my Teclast x98 Air II, I didn't face any problem while testing it (except for the frozen google apps problem), it's a really stable rom.

To solve the frozen google apps problem you just have to root, install link2sd and first of all freeze the jide app that cause the freezing on the boot, JideAppPolicies (I also freezed the other app, JideAnalytics just to make sure there will be no problem) then unfreeze all the google apps and services frozen.

To enable 1080p on youtube just modify the build.prop and replace ro.build.version.release from 4.4.4 to a newer version of the android system (I replaced it with 5.0.1).

Not sure this has been mentioned but putting te tablet into hibernation while away for extended periods really minimizes any battery drain. Hibernation takes a little while to power back on but not as long as a full boot up from powering on. With about 3 hours streaming video and 2 hours browsing on windows I have a bit over 40% battery left after 27 hours from charge
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mattycee:
I tried to flash the 5.0 Lollipop rom and it will not boot up, but I can get into Fastboot and Windows no issue at all. I tried to factory reset the tablet and it didn't boot still so I was wanting to flash the 4.4.4 Rom and I cannot get it to download more than 170mb before it fails.

I used Flashget and it downloaded the whole file but corrupts the system.img. Has someone been able to download the file X98 Air II (HG9M)-双系统-Android4.4.4-V1.00版固件.rar from Vmall and been able to flash it. If so can you upload it to Mega or some other file hosting site so I can get the Android side of the tablet up and running again.

Thanks in advance.
