I don't think there is a newer bios version than 2.02. I flashed it following the tutorial I have seen here, but some people have done it using the updateIFWI, so I guess it's ok.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

I have a HG9M.

When I try to download this OTA, the progress bar won't go on, I think it is a bug.

What can I do to download this OTA?

I can't add images, here is the link:

Hello,

Can I use this one for my hg9m air ii?

Probably cause it's bing version. With 8.1 core or pro any of the freely available keys generally work when using kms.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] scrawl78:
Thanks for the info Frontier. I've been trying to get a clearer understanding of how OA3.0 works. Your description seems to be different to other sources I'm reading online (See here and here). Anything I'm missing?

Happy to be proven wrong. If anyone else with a HG6N can dump their bios and post an MD5 checksum, would be keen to see if we get the same results.

MD5 for my bios is 9d616fc6a477541c2205ef55f5a40e8a
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] AfXv237:
Ok, you got me confused. I wanted to order Air II with Windows8.1 pre-installed but I do not know what to do now. Please clarify some details:

1. Regarding Windows8.1 OS: is it better than Air 3G? Is it running smoother? Is it more responsive etc??

2. Is there any other tablet to consider instead of Air II? I've thought about PIPO P1 because of specs, but I am not sure about quality.

P.S: I would like to have Windows8.1 OS, but if it is not worth buying, I do not mind having Android.

Note: PIPO P1, Onda v898, Air 3G, Air II have similar prices (197-250$)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Frontier:
According to the link you provided here:

The new OA system will also require OEMs to supply production reports to Microsoft, detailing their license compliance. A "Genuine Microsoft" label must also be affixed to the chassis, dumping the previous "Windows Certificate of Authenticity" sticker. Unused keys can be returned in real-time without shipping or insurance costs, according to the leaked slides.

Is there any label/hologram or otherwise distinguishing mark on your Air II chassis that denotes a "Genuine Microsoft" installation?

If not, it's not OA3.0 and certainly not genuine.

On my country, all "branded" Windows tablets (Dell, Vero and an hp that arrived today) have either a Microsoft Windows hologram on the back of the tablet or a "Genuine Microsoft" sticker (without a product key), even the Bing versions (Vero). I have seen another Greek system builder (Plaisio S.A with it's PC brand "Turbo-X") following the same pattern on cheap desktop PCs with Windows 8.1 Bing edition, so what is written in Tom' s hardware is valid. The sticker could be included on the manual or other printed material with the device; I have seen this also on a Psion Teklogix Industrial control PC running 8.1 Pro (because it's rugged, the manufacturer includes the genuine sticker sticked on the back of the operation manual).

No sticker, not genuine.

Assuming that both of you have the SAME BIOS version, the MD5 will be identical.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] AfXv237:
Ok, briefly.

I excluded all the other tablets. I only have to choose between Teclast Air 3G and Air II. Which one and why? (regardless the OS) which one is better build?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] scrawl78:
Right now, Teclast is launching a new dual-boot Android/Win8 tablet, so you might want to wait and see what that is like. I'm hoping it's not the virtualized Android version they were demonstrating a few weeks ago.

*Edit* - And now available for preorder (Taobao link)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] scrawl78:
I have now dumped the bios on two different Teclast HG6N Air II tablets. Bios reports both are:

Core version 5.008

Project version: tPAD 1.03

Build Date: 10/22/2014 19:10:03

MD5 checksums between the two are different, as is the product key located in the MSDM ACPI Table. Both tablets required activation over internet.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Frontier:
Good work scrawl78; here on both Bing-powered tablets (Dell and Vero), activation is not required. Both tablets are activated the moment installation is finished and without connecting to Internet.

On the Turbo-X desktop PC (it came with Windows 8.1 Bing, too), I've re-installed Windows 8.1 Bing from the recovery media (I can do some tests before handing it over to a customer) and I can verify that no activation is necessary: the Windows installation on that particular PC gets activated from the BIOS without even connecting the machine to the Internet.

If I use this Windows install media on a Virtualbox "machine", activation is required.

In any case, it's up to you; if I had a C6J7 device (mine is C6J6) I'd dumped and release the BIOS.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] dmandic:
I see that Teclast has announced sale of real dual-boot tablet (Android/Win 8.1) on X98 Air II platform. If i understand correctly, for now is only preorder, and estimated shipping is after 12/12.

Can someone speaking chinese confirm that?

And also, since all materials on page are images that cannot be translated online, it would be nice if someone could translate materials on Taobao page and see if there are some details regarding dual-boot. On video there is nothing about it except short segment showing choosing of OSes and booting of Win 8.1.

It seems that Teclast is hoping to get rid of dual-boot bugs and issues until shipping of sual boot devices :)

I suppose that there is no hardware changes between normal Air II an dual-boot, and that some day when BIOS and images of dual-boot model should be accesible, it would be possible to make dual-boot on old Air II models, but we can not be sure.

Does someone keep an eye on Teclast BBS for news regarding dual-boot.

Dual-boot is a kind of Holy Grail of tablet enthusiasts, and i expect it to boost Teclast reputation and sales. We only need to see how does it function in real life and how much free space is left on SSD.

Teclast X98 Air 3G vs Air II [both with Windows 8.1 pre-installed]

I want to order one of these tablets but I do not know which one is better. I just want to choose the best one because I want to avoid complications and wasting time.

I do not care about 3G, nor GPS. Air II with Windows 8.1 pre-installed is 40$ cheaper, but I do not mind to pay 40$ more for the original Air 3G version with Windows 8.1 pre-installed if it is better.

I want to know if what they said is true.

P.S: I do not care about Android!!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
Did both tablets in the video you posted have Windows pre-installed? I saw a video comparing an Air 3G that was 'upgraded' from Android & an Air II that came with Windows factory installed. The 3G was stuck at 48hz instead of 60hz & therefore the screen was less responsive. It was not a fair comparison though. Were both tablets' screens at 60hz in your video? Can you please post a link? Thanks
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] IEETRYCE:
Was successfully able to get my HG5N (originally android) tablet to win 8.1 w/ Bing and ACTIVATED via KMS.

Stumbled across this guide w/ key included: h t t p : / / pan.baidu.com/s/1bncpRLP

I couldn't read it, so I kind of guestimated the instructions... but here's what I did:

1. Set the tablet into airplane mode (don't know if its necessary, kinda figured I shouldn't be on wifi for the process?)

2. Go to the control panel and select "add features to windows 8.1"

3. Select "I have a key"

4. Input the key from the guide.

5. Let windows do its thing, it'll restart twice if I remember correctly.

6. Run KMS8 ( Get it here: h t t p : / / pan.baidu.com/s/1ntDjsTF - Password: 7pvy)

7. Should say success... go ahead and turn on wifi, and enjoy

8. Wait for the crazy good folks in here to find a way to enable dual booting (shouldn't take long - looks like teclast is already doing that w/ a new "version" - hoping its just a bios + rom to flash)

8 part 2. Wait for someone to get lollipop on this :)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] valtchov:
The Air II comes in two variants, HG5N and HG6M (more recent). The HG5N has a great smooth digitizer resulting in fluid scrolling under win 8.1. HG6M has choppy/jumpy digitizer that results in a poor win 8 experience. If the original Air 3G has the same digitizer as the HG5N then that would be the one to purchase. Not sure why Teclast changed the hardware between the 5 and the 6 gen - cost cutting?

android bios

hi im searching for the teclast x98 air 2 android bios.

can someone upload it or send me a download link?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Estiui:
Is this confirmed? Will there be new versions of the digitalizer? I'm probably buying this tablet, but I don't want to have problems with touch control at all... In any case, is the problem solvable in any way, or is a hardware issue? Does the same happen with Air 3G?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] valtchov:
Just edited original post - the second batch of mine are actually HG6M
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
valtchov, what does HG6M come pre-installed with? Windows or Android? Also, are both screens running at 60hz? Because if ones only running at 48hz, that would explain your choppy experience.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Estiui:
I do not understand what you edited, and I do not understand the whole thing at all :confused::victory:

Anyway, is the experience with the new digitizer that bad? :(

I've been away from this thread for awhile and its nice to see progress on the Air 2.

I don't need duel booting, only Android will do. Currently the tablet is running Win 8.1.

Should I just flash this new 2.02 bios and install the Android rom right after?

Thanks in advance and a big thank you to developers such Mirek190 for his contributions.

no thats not your version, the only way to check i know of is actully going into the bios and checking about the 3rd or 4th line down will say teclast build version or something like that, should be 1.0x or 2.02

Also now you need a few parts to unbrick your device. Best way is to check the air 3g forum
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] siezed:
Do you know what went wrong? Was the tablet fully charged? Try plugging it in making sure its charged; then hold power button for 30 secs;if that doesn't work try holding power for 3 secs letting go waiting 3 secs then holding 5 secs and letting go; then finally try holding power and volume up for 30 secs. also when you say brick do you literally mean its not responding at all or are you getting any type of message? When you connect to comp is it recognizing it?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] minonano:
I followed the instruction as per post #935, waited till it flashed successfully, battery was at 80%, then turned off the tablet, waited 30 seconds, tried to turn it back on, single button, both with the volume + and nothing, I guess that was the wrong bios for my tablet, too bad as I have just installed Mirel 5 V3, lollipop and was working great except being able to reboot in different OS option, so there it goes, I am looking to how to unbrick instructions, any help will be appreciated, thanks

And yes the computer does not recognize it, as a brick.

Comes to think of it maybe I should have flashed the 2.02 bios while still on original rom 4.4, before the lollipop.

How to Root X98 Air II (HG9N)

Hi,

I have downloaded X98 Air 3G Toolbox and run it to root my X98 Air II (HG9N). The root process seemed to work and Root Checker Basic indicated the device was rooted but once I restarted, it went back to not being rooted. I need to root to fix the problem with the tablet forgetting WiFi passwords. The tablet was working fine for about 2 months and then all of a sudden it started forgetting the WiFi passwords. From searching xda it appears that to fix it I need to root the device first.

What's the most effective way to root this device?

HG9N

Hello to everyone. Today I've received my tablet. It is HG9N with 32 GB ROM and Android only. Which BIOS should I flash to get Dual boot?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] siezed:
I had issues rooting the stock rom too with kingoroot, if you flash one of mireks roms its pre rooted and ive had no issues so far, the root works perfectly.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] paulmerrill:
Did some more work with it today and now it works, it's rooted! I'm not sure what the problem was. I ended up executing some of the commands by hand via adb and now it works. I then fixed the "forgetting the wifi passwords problem" so now all is good.

One thing I do notice with the tablet is it does freeze at least once every couple of days and reboots itself, sometime just out of the blue. Strangely as I was typing this response at work on my PC with the tablet sitting beside me it did it again. The screen was black and then I noticed it rebooted. I'm hoping that the next official version of software 5.0 will come through to fix that.

After you initially erased the corrupt bios, did you reinstall the 2.02 immediately using the programmer or you reinstalled the original dual boot bios first then the 2.02?

Thanks

Installed 2.02 immediately after erasing corrupt bios using programmer.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] minonano:
Thanks, also did you disconnect the red (+)ve terminal from the battery or your battery was drained by the time you received your programmer. In other words once your were done reinstalling the 2.02, did you have to recharge the battery before starting the tablet or it was already charged?

Updating 2.02 BIOS on HG7N for a Windows 8.1 Only System:

For those of you who don't want to have to reinstall a dual boot Android setup just to update the BIOS, you can do the following. Worked 100% for me running a Windows only 8.1 full EMMC partition. YMMV:

(a) Download the X98 Air II (HG6N) Bios File for Windows 8.1/10 from the techtablets.com/download/teclast/x98,.... (can't post lnks sorry)

(b) Download the BIOS flasher FTPW.exe from anywhere. You can get it from the same linked page above but do not run the batch file as it will flash it to whatever BIOS file the link is titled / bundled with. No doubt you will brick your tablet. Delete any .bin file other than the one downloaded in (a) above with extreme prejudice.

(c) Copy the downloaded "X98_Air_II.bin" file to whatever folder you extracted the FTPW.exe flash software

(d) Run the

fptw -f X98_Air_3G_Dual.bin

flasher software from admin cmd prompt

(e) Let is complete 100%

(f) 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.

(g) Profit!!

My tablet actually has battery life again! Let it sleep from 8am this morning until about 6pm when I got back from work and battery only went down 5%. The old BIOS would have been empty. Thanks Teclast for bringing your BIOS up to industry standard!

On an unrelated note has anyone found the battery life has been taking a massive dive after it has been used for a few months? I am only getting 2 hours of screen on time now and it is getting really hot on the back.

There are no rogue apps running as I have factory reset and not reinstalled any apps (My daughter only uses Youtube) so I am not sure what the deal is.

Also in Windows I left it on without hibernating at it went flat after about 4 hours, not sure how that rates at all??

Upgraded a H6GM to BIOS 2.02. Seems to work OK apart from the following:

1. Front camera is now recognised as OV2680 instead of GC2235, but will not work with any driver that I could find, throwing a code 10 error in device manager.

2. Intel TPM module (_SB.PCI0.SEC0) remains unregistered in sleepstudy report, so is using battery. Have tried reinstalling TXE driver to no avail.

The camera doesn't work? will have a look into that for sure, though it's not a major issue if it works in android :) (this is dual boot by the way right?)

That device not sleeping properly, again something I'd be happy to have a look at too, so with this BIOS I can install windows 8/10 as I currently have? licensed? will it wipe the current partitions? I'm guessing it would be best practice to re-install windows anyway as you say it detects the camera etc differently?
