where can I find the 2.02 bios file? Is it the same as for the 3G version?

Also how can I update the bios? via android or via windows?

It's 5.6.5, but it always says that. I don't know how to/if it's possible to check BIOS version under Android.

Hi There,

i am looking for a ROM withou chinese app for Air II HG8N (everybody writes here about HG6M or HG9M, but I have as a last letter N, not M).

Thanks

Kchrz
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
It seems that the N variants only come with android installed and not dual boot with Windows/Android, is this true for your device?.

In any case, mirek's ROM is a great Lollipop ROM with no Chinese anything, you can find it here It works with Air II and Air 3G variants, The cameras don't work at least on my HG9M.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] kchrz:

I've seen over on the Techtablets forum (http://techtablets.com/forums/topic/x98-air-ii-ota-doesnt-work/) that some people including myself are having issues with doing an OTA update on the x98 air II (HG9m). I was wondering if anyone experienced this and how to get around it with using the stock ROM orginally on the tablet? I really did not want to fool around with flashing other ROMs.

If you flash remix OS system only it will not touch windows

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

The OTA on stock ROMs are not really supported.....so in other words you will have to flash another ROM....flashing other ROMs are quite simple
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Okluzhion:
You have to flash dual boot bios. Head over to the Air 3G thread and read the first page.

I agree, after reading every single page about bricks and flashing of different ROMs its a bit like Chinese wrispers - in which one person whispers a message to another, which is passed through a line of people until the last player announces the message to the entire group. Errors typically accumulate in the retellings, so the statement announced by the last player differs significantly, and often amusingly, from the one uttered by the first. Reasons for changes include anxiousness or impatience, erroneous corrections, and that some players may deliberately alter what is being said to guarantee a changed message by the end of the line.

A sub forum is a must and I don't understand why a mod has not yet done so
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MrRimmer:
Same situation for a lot of other threads. It's a nonsense that threads should be allowed to grow to over 1000 pages but not much can be done about it without the mods.

issues with root apps / iptables / firewall

Hi guys

Teclast x 98 AIR 2

HG8N

IFWI version 5.6.5

Kernel version 3.10.2

compilation mumber V1.01_20150211

dual boot

I`m having some problems with stock Teclast Android ROM 4.4.4 (OTA updated through Teclast Autoupdate utility)

I rooted the device using root toolbox developed by kostyamat from 4pda.ru forums,and everything seems ok:

I checked that all proper binaries were installed with root checker.

su found [/system/xbin/]

version 2.00:SUPERSU

UID=0(root)

GID=0(root)

context=u:r:init:s0

busybox

[/system/xbin/,/system/bin/]

I've been able to install apps like supersu pro or linnk2SD+ and they work perfectly.

I've also been able to install droidwall last version, but I get this error:

Error applying iptables rules. Exit code: 2

iptables v1.4.10

iptables v1.4.10: can't initialize

iptables table 'filter': Invalid argument

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded

And I've also tried to install other root / iptables related apps, but I always get the same error ("Not enough space available") but if I try to install any other kind of app, no problem. (this issue appears in google play and trying to install the downloaded apk, in both cases. Obviously I've got enough space in all partitions, cache, RAM, ROM...because I can install many other apps).

The apps I've tested so far:

AFWall+

DroFireWall (Firewall for All)

any other firewall apps which needed ROOT access (except droidwall, which doesnt work)

Root Logger

all of them with the Not enough space available issue.

Is this related to the Teclast Android ROM?

Is this related to this device being an x86 (and not ARM) android?

Is this related to a bad ROOT install? (even until now other root apps are runing OK)

I apreciate any help, thanks in advance

i thought i can just flash remix and voila i have dualboot. but i guess it's a complex process.

i'm not an expert in this.

OTA Update

Hello everybody,

I just got a X98 air II (HG9N) and started by rooting it and deleting all chinese apps.

Unfortunately, I uninstalled the teclast update app which allows to have OTA updates.

Does anyone know how to reinstall it ?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
Most people flash 3rd party ROMs because the ones being pushed out OTA aren't that good. I would recommend you flash mirek's ROM, he's about to release V4, but V3 on lollipop works great, he also released a kitkat ROM, it's on version 3.1.

It works on the whole x98 Air series, both II and 3G
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] neojoe666:
Thanks for the answer.

Reading previous posts I saw that cameras didn't work with this ROM.

Do this ROM have OTA updates ?

Can it be configured in french ?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
Yeah, the ROM maker is working on fixing the camera problem with the V4 release He's about to release it this week, maybe today, we''l have to wait and see, although he communicates with the community through this thread.

His ROMs don't have OTA updates, so you have to flash them with the Intel Tool, it's a bit of a hassle, and I do wish we could get custom recovery for this tablet so no PC was needed for flashing.

Yes the ROM has all the languages Android has, I personally only care about English, even being from Mexico, but It does have French and you can use that with no problem.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] neojoe666:
Are there other Roms working on this tablet ? As cyanogenmod ?

Is there a list somewhere ?

Do you have the link to download the actual ROM in case of problems ?

What software do you recommend for flashing ?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
There are no Cyanogenmod ROMs for this tablet sadly mirek190 said he will start work on it soon, we can only hope. There isn't so much support for this tablet so, we either have to work ourselves or wait for someone to do the work.

The sad thing about this tablet is that most of its documentation is in chinese, so we have to use a translator when visiting the official forums in http://bbs.teclast.com

I do have a repository in MEGA where I try to keep most of the stuff needed for this tablet, also I created the /r/teclast subreddit in order to have a more organized system for useful information regarding our tablet.

Most of the tutorials and fixes are in the 3G thread, not all will work with the Air II variant, but most will.

For the flashing procedure read post #2 on the last link, there you can see the steps you need to take for flashing ROMs.

Mirek's repository has all his ROMs and a few tools needed for our tablets.

I have a Teclast x98 Air II (HG7N) with dual boot from factory.

I want to update the bios to bypass the battery drain problem. However it's not being easy to find the correct bios and not brick the tablet.

I think it is one of these:

-Dualboot Bios Tested C6J6 And C8J7

-X98 Air 3G Air II Dual Boot Bios Flasher bat

Both files are from techtablets.

Someone can help?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Robo11111:
You only need bios file from those, then flash it in original android rom. Just don't forget to backup your Windows key first otherwise you'll loose it. I did it this way on mine (HG7N)

Do you have a link for the original android 4.4.x ROM? Because i could only find a app called IFWI updater. Ore is the IWFFlasher hidden somewhere?

If you'r going to buy a teclast with only android it is not possible to install windows on it :). Now if you flash the bios to a dualboot bios you could install windows on it (with ore without android, thats your choice).

The advantages of flashing (for instants) bios 2.02 fixes a few problems, like the batterydrain when windows is in sleepmode.

Sweet just flashed 2.02 on my HG9M without problems :) :victory::victory::victory::victory:

Only i've encountered a problem using the flash.bat. when I reached step 10 I've couldn't choose any options. The solution was to rename the folder (were the flash.bat is located) to "x98" ore something else, after this everything worked fine :cool:

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

So far we have confirmed HG6M and HG9M are working. Since 2.02 is designed to work on all Air 3G variants and it also is known to work on the newest and oldest Air II model, I would expect it to work on the remaining models as well.

However, there is always a chance something might go wrong and brick a tablet, even when flashing the correct BIOS.

If you are concerned you might brick your tablet, you probably shouldn't flash it.

The only immediate benefit I see with the new BIOS is I can actually switch from Windows and Android with the apps, previously they only reboot the device. Other than that I don't know if there's a benefit.

No,nothing happened.maybe I installed the adb wrong?

When I type adb Version I get confirmation that it's active though.

1. Installed adb on my Windows 7 Laptop

2. Booted to android and enabled debugging.

3. Downloaded and unzipped the bios to c:\flash

4. Entered the bios,located the folder and typed flash.bat

I got the script opened,pressed enter to continue,pressed 2+enter to start flashing and got the Picture I posted above

I know I will be yelled at but I promise I search several hours about how I can just flash a new android ROM and leave windows alone. I want to use one of Mireks LP ROMs but the 3g thread is HUGE! Do I just flash with intel MFT? If someone can please link the tutorial I will appreciate it a lot! I know someone wil tell me to look at air 3g post #2 but I'm not sure if any of that guide is for what I want to do which is just flash a new android ROM and maintain my same windows dual boot configuration.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
mirek's ROM includes 3 xml files one of them wipes everything, the other to leave windows alone, one of them wipes android, the other doesn't. Mirek suggests you wipe android when updating but you could try without wiping.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] nafrench:
But is that from Intel mfg tools that you must flash that XML?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
Yes, sorry to insist with this topic, but when you follow the instructions in post #2 you'll see when you need this xml file.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] nafrench:
OK so I will now report my procedure. I followed the procedure from tecknight to flash bios 2.02 and there were no changes to my existing dual boot system. Next I download Intel manufacturing flash tools and install Intel driver and iSoc driver. I also downloaded mirek lollipop v3 ROM. Firstly I forgot to copy and paste the custom configuration config.ini file to the directory of Intel manufacturing flash tool so it keep crashing. Now I use the Intel flash tool and select open and choose the XML file from mirek ROM to flash system only and format data. After get the tablet to download mode I just plug it in and the flash proceeds and now I have 2.02 BIOS (actually I can't confirm it yet) and also I have lollipop ROM working well. Hope this helps someone with hg9m

you can follow the procedure from techknight to install dual boot bios. then you can use the method of hendrickson to flash android
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Robo11111:
You can try from Windows installed on your tablet, but most of those with bricket tablet did it this way. I wouldn't recommend that, if you don't want to end up with bricked tablet. Safest way is through android.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] littld:
Brilliant, thanks for explaining. So I can backup my tablet, install a different android+windows, flash the bios and then find a way to remove android then reinstall Windows 8.1 Pro.

Thanks again, sorry if it was obvious to everyone else!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] nafrench:
So after updating bios on my HG9M to 2.02 I have let the tablet stay in connected standby overnight and I got the desired result. Battery discharge for 7h43m was only 201mW and 5%. Unfortunately I don't have any comparable samples from the last 3 days to compare in the sleepstudy report however my second longest CS session was 3h22m in which it discharged 1202mW or 13%. So it looks like just from roughly checking the sleepstudy report that pre bios update I was losing around 4%/hour in connected standby and now with bios 2.02 i am at about .6-.7%/hour. Of course I need a larger sample to figure this hourly drain but it is a vast improvement and now this device is actually usable (I do not think powering off and on a portable device like this every time I use it is acceptable for normal use). I am disappointed, although hardly surprised, that Teclast is shipping brand new devices with such a basic flaw that is so easily rectified with a simple software flash (of software that they already have!). Next I will check the drain in airplane mode to see the effect of WiFI/BT on connected standby battery drain and maybe start to increase active processes such as live tiles and notifications to see if the drain changes significantly. You can see the sleep study report from this latest CS session:
