[Teclast X98 Air 3G] intruduh:
I had this problem (page 71) with chrome (stops at 159M), firefox and downloading utilities got it all but each time unzipping said it was corrupt... The solution was to use IE - something I never use but it worked first time. Of course it could have been luck in which case my solution was to keep on trying until it worked :)

When I flashed it I was confused as to why I only had 16Gb available (HG9M 64G dual) and it's dawned on me that the recovery boot I first tried is for a 32G dual boot version. I've left it at 16Gb for now, at least until there is a CWM/TWRP rom manager available.

I downloaded and flashed it. Worked fine. Don't have it no more though sorry.

Just wait for full andriod 5.0 I

I am currently running a custom Lollipop Rom and it's running really well. Funnily enough the 4.4.4 Rom downloaded fine after I didn't need it urgently, so it must have known!
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Mattycee:
Has anyone been game enough to flash the updated BIOS at all? I've heard that Version 2.02 allows fastbooting between Android and Windows but I'm worried I'll brick my unit if I flash it. I've got a 64gb model HG9M.

Hoping to see some positive information on flashing it on the Air ii 64gb.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] bodybag77:
Hello everybody,

I own a Teclast X98 Air II hg9n model Android Only. I went thru all the thread but i can't seem to find an answer. Is there a custom rom that works on my specific model? The original rom it quite lacking in options and the default launcher is horrible. I'd like to have a near stock looking rom without using 3d party launchers (currently i'm using nova). Is the lollipop beta suitable for my model? it is stable enough?

thank you for your help.

Having a battery drain problem on Win8 with AIR II too, changing SD controller driver or checking a plane mode does not help. Android has no such issues, but on Win8 battery simply dies. Any patch available for HG7N?

Hi teclast users

I have an issue with the HG9M [64Gb] android : i'm not able to root the sh*t out of it, fails to install binaries [root apk] even after i use root tools like the root.bat file ["device rooted" or "device already rooted"] from the toolbox or kingo root [downloading files but nothing else].

HG8N [32Gb] did it without troubles [until i got empty battery issue and then killed bios chip with usb flash] and worked.

Can someone help me?

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] eltigroUK:
I have the original air and the air ii and the original air feels much better. <br />

<br />

They are both smooth but the swiping I'd much better one the original air. You can fling right thru the modern ui left to right with on small swipe. <br />

<br />

The air ii take a swipe of the full screen for the same effect. <br />

<br />

The original air has the smooth smooth ui similar to Ipad in back to back tests. <br />

<br />

I think they must have changed the touch digitizer between models. <br />

<br />

I've got three more air ii's so I can compare so see if it's a one off.<br/>
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
Please let us know! I have the Air II & can confirm that the digitizer is terrible. I have to try several times to click things on the screen & touch is not very accurate. It's very frustrating. :(

As for the upside-down cameras, Teclast is aware of the problem & still working on it. I'll share it as soon as they post a fix.

Inverted Camera Fix for Stock Camera

As you know I have been kicking around on the Teclast X98 Air 3G thread and ro11er had posted a fix that they found on the Teclast forum (http://bbs.teclast.com/thread-258210-1-1.html). Well anyways I signed up and downloaded the drivers and with a bit of translation and guess work have got the stock camera working in the correct orientation!

What you have to do is;

1. Download and extract X98 Air II Inverted Camera Fix Drivers.zip from (https://mega.co.nz/#!JI4RCBqZ!drC8UQxJRaHtrfCUs-pqseMv7qNGnOYBobmHTcaJhkw).

2. Uninstall the drivers for the following devices (in the order listed as Intel driver uninstall requires a reboot) in Device Manager making sure you check the delete files option;

i. Kionix KXCJ9 Accelerometer SPB

ii. Goodix Touch HID

iii. Intel Graphics.

3. Reboot your tablet making sure you have a keyboard and mouse attached because you have uninstalled the touch input driver.

4. After reboot the you need to go back into Device Manger and install the drivers (from the attached file by browsing to the specific folder) in the specific order below;

i. Intel Graphics Driver

ii. Goodix Touch Driver

5. To activate the accelerometer go to the GSensor folder and run kxaccel-win8-x86-dbg-intel.exe then execute the reg file.

6. Finally copy the TouchSetting.gt to C:\Windows\inf folder and reboot.

Your camera should now work properly.

EDIT: Don't use the Intel Update Utility I posted earlier to update your video drivers as it will undo everything.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] bluessonny:
This is with the driver fixes but no activation right?

Hi [MENTION=6163269]JonMichaels[/MENTION]. Thank you once again for your efforts to make things easier for us newbs with your easier downloads and more automated "mouseless/keyboardless" install. It really does make it more viable for the "technically challenged" to keep up with the evolving improvements here. Thanks to everyone else for making the updates available.

Can i please check my understanding of your latest files before re-installing?

If I am understanding correctly your update:

* Uses the latest HG6N instal from teclast which is the same as if you had waited for a teclast pre-installed model?

* Has the driver updates rectifying camera orientation, and screen refresh bugs.

* whilst some are still commenting on relative performance / clunkiness of use, the actual bugs are pretty much all gone now?

* This does not yet resolve activation as to activate you would need a bios with the activation code embedded from an actual HG6N owner? (i'm curious if installing that actual HG6N bios would enable activation? and if that would have any consequence for the bios "donor" - i.e. would I be right in guess it would be just one common code, not a separate bios file with separate code like a volume license?). I saw some $15 W8.1 license on ebay a few days ago but they all disappeared before I acted... Now they are $60+ (AUD)

Thanks once again Jon - is the above accurate? Many thanks.

PS If anyone has moved beyond the smooth running of windows and started to front into other windows based opportunities... ...such as virtual gamepads to run full windows games (minecraft for the kids) and things would love to hear which of these is working well on the x98 also. If anyone has done that and started a new thread on the topic it would be great of you could post a link to that thread here for all the new W8.1 X98 owners to follow...
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
Answers are in bold.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] scrawl78:
I messed around with the HG6N bios today. Sure enough, the Windows 8.1 serial code is embedded inside it (found using this guide).

So unfortunately, I'm not too keen on releasing my Tablet's bios dump into the wild. Tried opening up bios dump in a hex editor, hoping the ACPI Tables might be stored in a plain text format, alas this is not the case.

Some application which I have been running on the tablet:

- NodeJS - No issues

- Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Playable at 1024x768. Requires keyboard to enter Character's name. Fully touch-enabled after that.

- Sam and Max Culture Shock (Telltale version) - Playable at 1024x768

It requires a bit of a mind reset when approaching these low-powered Windows tablets. It looks and behaves like my desktop PC and overall is quite smooth...until you throw something at it that requires some RAM or GPU. At the end of the day, it'a a low-power processor coupled with a very high resolution screen and you need to set your expectations accordingly.

I'm still finding it a novelty seeing the Windows desktop on a tablet. But the overall user experience isn't great. Finding myself mis-touching in the desktop view (Empty recycle bin for example) and the switch between full-screen and desktop is disruptive.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] vgiozo:
I am glad to hear actually that the Product Key is embedded in the BIOS...because that means that Teclast has come up with a final version of BIOS and drivers with WHQL certification.

[MENTION=3161714]scrawl78[/MENTION], so you are the only one right now with the proper HG6N version of this tablet, with preinstalled WIndows?

Could you please tell me, does it suffer from aforementioned problems like:

- screen refresh rate locked at 48hz?

- inverted capera issue?

- screen responsiveness delays?

[MENTION=6163269]JonMichaels[/MENTION]

Where did the bios file for Air II come from in your software package?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] scrawl78:
Screen refresh rate is 60khz. Both cameras are correctly orientated.

The touchscreen does feel like it has some has sort of delay. It doesn't feel as feel as sensitive when compared to other touchscreen devices I have used.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] eltigroUK:
I have a preinstalled version and concur.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] JonMichaels:
-Screen refresh is at 60hz.

-Camera is still inverted in latest update but not in the factory pre-installed version.

-I don't notice any screen delays but the touch accuracy sucks!

The file came from the Teclast website. It's the latest version.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Frontier:
This PK is not related to YOUR tablet, it's a generic PK for the Air II.

Another user with the same tablet as yours, has exactly the same PK in the BIOS as you do; it's not a SPECIFIC product key to a particular retail product, just a "master unlock" key for the particular tablet (SKU).

There are no legal consequences for you releasing the BIOS but I cannot tell you what to do, it's up to you.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] vgiozo:
But there is no separate BIOS file in the Teclast website. There is one however in your cloud folder. Is it from the Teclast forum?

I see, thank you.

Is the touch response problematic, however, as shown in the following video (compares Air II with Air 3G)

By the way, there is a lot of confusion going around by people not stating their specific model and if they got it with pre-installed windows or Android.

Might be a good idea to clarify this via the user signature in the forums
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] hectorox:
status

hello,

I wanted to inform everybody that the win8 image for"HG6N" has also still the same issues: camera still upside down, the activation is not working.

between:

Yesterday, the left speaker of my tablet got broken. The sound is noisy\scratchy.... . Something like that usually happens when the membrane is not a good quality...

I wonder what to do now about that.

edit.

by the way, maybe someone also got this problem:

Today, my tablet dont wanted to power on. I clicked the power button several times, but nothing happened.

solution:

reset your tablet by holding the power button for 10 second and start it again.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rwanek:
Finally managed to activate this bing version of windows with toolkit and specific key. I don't know if anyone would be interested but if there is let me know and I will make short tutorial. Disclaimer: yes, this is the 180 days activation method which auto renews every time you reboot.

Btw. I installed hg6n windows version onto my android ver hg5n, camera is inverted but the screen frequency is 60hz and that's completely fine for me as I don't use camera on tablet. I'm satisfied with this tablet.

I rooted with the FB Recovery launcher, but first I downloaded the Super SU 2.46 update to my download folder. Then I ran the bat file, chose T3, then got into CWM and flashed from there, now I have root running.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

I'm using the Lollipop ROM by mirek190 It works perfectly, It uses Apex launcher, I prefer Nova. It's very lean and comes with ROOT. The only detail I see is that it flashes your tablet as if it were the x98 Air 3G, so the name and some other things won't match, It'll have the no cell signal icon in the notification bar and that's mostly it, it works very well.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Neo Polonais:
what is "FB Recovery launcher" all i found is facebook launcher

i don't think that cwm is installed, i'm not even able to boot recovery, and fun fact i have no efi shell to boot for flash tool, even the bios looks cheap with only -setup prompt timeout - bootup numlock state - quiet boot - boot count - and 2 boot options for os selection

---- EDIT ----

I just had an update of the superuser app, binaries installed with success, i don't understand. Maybe chainfire did some minor changes
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
Sorry, that's the name of the uncompressed folder, the file is: Fastboot Tethered Recovery Launcher

As for the BIOS, it sucks big time, I wish it were more robust as well as the UEFI OS manager, but alas this is what we bought into.

To enter Fastboot you have to press the volume + and power at the same time, or something like that, but the program I linked takes you through the process. Also it might "reboot" your tablet and only turn it off, don't worry and just turn it on manually.

Also the CWM recovery will be upside down, but you'll get the hang of it very quickly.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Neo Polonais:
TY but i just had an update for superuser app, managed to obtain root.

Sad that cmw is just a temp recovery, there is no way to install a custom recovery?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
I haven't found a way, if I were more knowledgeable, I would make it so, but sadly I know very little of the intricacies of Android.

I do with there was a dedicated forum for this tablet, of for the brand at least, a thread with 780 pages just sucks. Maybe even a subreddit being as how i favor the reddit threads than regular forum threads.

EDIT: So I just created /r/teclast for a more dedicated forum
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] bodybag77:
Thank you, could you point me to the instructions to flash it? I'm afraid to made mistakes, because it seems that this tablet is quite unforgiving in case of bricks. Also, is there a way to reflash the original rom in case flashing this custom rom goes bad?

Thank you very much

Does anybody know if the V20.1 Bios works with the HG6M Version?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
I'd like to know as well, but I'm not brave enough to try since I have no way to recover from a failed flash.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Neo Polonais:
I read somewhere that to flash the bios chip of x98 you have to use 3,3V.

This is so sad, because i brought a ch341a usb flasher for my x89 tab, it use 5V flashable chip, and now it's useless [i sold the x89 and took a x98 - got empty battery, unable to charge that fat cow showing empty battery boot loop for a week+ , tried to flash bios then no boot at all]

So now i have 2 x98 one with corrupted bios and battery issue still not solved [ hg8n ], and one brand new [ hg9m ]

I ordered some chips [original W25Q64FWSSIG - had to buy a 3,3V flasher] and some others [W25Q64FVSSIG - usb flasher should be good for this one ] and try to switch the chips.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
When you put it this way, I have no interest in flashing a newer BIOS on my tablet, Wasn't UEFI supposed to make flashing the BIOS a lot easier? I remember back in the day you could flash a BIOS through a boot disk or through windows even, what's this of flashing using a dedicated device?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Neo Polonais:
that is the case of a non bootable device because of a failed flash [which happend to me]

That was always the case, on your pc if you failed your flash, you could throw it by the window, or flash the chip. Unfortunately flashing teclast bios is tricky because they have a lot of different chips, so choose your bios carefully.

-edit-

It wont scare you, it's just how to do when you fail to flash bios because you said " I'm not brave enough to try since I have no way to recover from a failed flash "
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] royeiror:
Ah your description was for a failed flash, I was scared because I thought I had misunderstood the whole process.

I killed my voyo a1 with some wrong bios Settings. Since then I don't touch the bios at all. And with the current bis my hg6m runns pretty well so far.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Do you have the original android+Win 8.1 file? I think you need to start with that. Most of the info is in the x98 Air 3G thread but most of the information may be specific. Sadly this thread lacks a lot of that information. Makes me wish I had spent $50 extra just to know stuff would work on my device.

If I have already dual boot (HG8N) and I just want to update Android but keeping also the windows partition, which ones of he above steps I have to follow? I presume that only these ones:

- Turn off the tablet holding the POWER button for 10 seconds.

- Run Intel Manufacturing Tool as administrator.

- On the tablet, hold the VOL +, VOL- and POWER until you see the logo of the Teclast. The tablet will be "stuck" there, is perfectly normal. Connect the tablet to the USB port on your computer, so you will receive the following message: "Entering DnX mode. Waiting for fastboot command..."

- In the Device Manager of Windows (Device Manager), find the Android ADB Interface and right-click -> Properties (Properties). In the window that appears, go to the Details (Details) and there in the drop-down menu choose the Hardware ID (Hardware IDs). Our interest rates VID and PID, as shown in the picture Figure_2.

Transfer the VID and PID values ​​in the respective fields of Manufacturing Tool, section SoC Devices.

- Disables the tablet holding the POWER button for 10 seconds and disconnect the USB.

- We keep the tablet down the VOL- and POWER to enter the mode droidboot. Once this happens, connect the USB cable again, go to the Device Manager Windows (Device Manager) and - as before - we find the values ​​of the PID & VID Android ADB Interface (values ​​are different from the previous Figure_3

Transfer prices PID & VID Manufacturing Tool in their respective fields of unity "Android devices", so o Dialogue Manufacturing Tool will be something like shown in the picture. Press "Apply" and "OK" to save the parameters. Close the application.

- Disconnect the USB cable from the tablet and disable.

- Xanatrechoume the Intel Manufacturing Tool as managers and go to the menu File -> Open. There, choose the folder of ROM (X98_Air_3G_ (C6J6)), find the file "flash.xml" and open it.

- We keep the tablet down the VOL +, VOL- and POWER in order to display the logo of running Teclast DnX, connect the USB cable and Intel Manufacturing Tool begins the process of flashing Android ROM. Wait until the process is complete, disconnect the tablet from the USB and disable the X98 Air 3G
