Cool little box

I've got the Z3735F version, no USB 3.0.

Works fine. After some googling I've learned how to install "normal" Windows 8.1 from USB stick. It is definitely possible. No Chinese anything anymore.

Upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday. Wireless worked from the install. Same drivers from this thread work for everything else. Except one thing, that didn't work under Windows 8.1 either: battery gauge. It is stuck at 100%. I tried to run down the battery, and it just shuts down at some point without any warning. I start charging, and it shows "Fully charged 100%" right away.

There are no unknown devices in the Device Manager. Battery device is "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery".

Anybody sees the same issue?

How did you do your Win 10 upgrade?

Hi Mike. I've been preparing myself to do a Windows 10 upgrade on my Ainol Mini PC. I created a USB setup key using the media creation tool on my desktop machine. Is that how you did your Win 10 upgrade? How did you go about installing all the drivers? You refer to 'the same drivers from this thread' - I can't find any drivers in this thread other than the ones to some 'USB to Faster Ethernet Drivers'. Is it from the backup recovery in the OP? Any chance you can bullet point out the process you undertook to upgrade to Win 10 please?

I loaned out my machine to a friend, so I'll check the battery gauge and see if I have the same issue when I get it back.

anyone manage to find any BIOS update for the ainol? It seems to occasionally freeze and becomes unresponsive for me, need to force a power down by press and holding the power button..

i updated to windows 10 last night through windows update, you can use the intel compute stick windows driver for the gfx, wireless, and bluetooth for a slightly more update version.

Hi The Ainol can only be charged via the DC port,You should be able to buy a cheap charger for it I would of thought,,

Make sure its no more than 5v the amps don't matter that much,,,2A or more would be good though

[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] cojona2015:
Hi,

First I make the automatic update, So I had the windows 10 activated and legal.

But If you dont have enough hard disk space you may have problem, then I advice you that you use the media creation tool and make a update, then you catch the serial and make clean installation of windows 10.

Here you have some tips, it's in spanish but you can use the google translator, the tips begins after review, also if you need update drivers I advice to use drive booster it's to easy.

Sorry my english..;)

Sorry I cant help you with the Z3735D firmware,You have the same device as me with the usb 3 port iv never been able to get the firmware for it I can only find the firmware for the Z3735F Non usb3 port device..It may work it may not http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2015/06/23/ainol-windows-mini-pc-intel-z3735f-2gb-32gb-firmware-184773-20150616/#comment-2259424846
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gatoh:
Thank you for your answer! But I am looking no for the Firmware (AKA Operating System) but for the original Bios ROM (a file of only a 8 MB). Could anyone make a backup of his BIOS (for Z3735D) and send it to me?

That would be great!

Thank you very much!
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] blinkone:
Sure I will try and make a back up for you but I will need guiding as iv never backed up the bios before Not sure where to start if im honest sorry.
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gatoh:
Great! In order to make a backup, you'll need the programm "afuwin". Can be easily founded on the internet, I can't post any URL here, cause I am a junior user.

Extract files into a folder and open afuwingui.exe in afuwin32 subfolder. Click save button and it will be saved into a file (afiwin.rom)

and that's everything!

Thank you very much!

I was not expecting afuwin to work, I tried it on my VOYO V2 & it would not pick up the bios but it seemed to work fine on the Ainol
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gatoh:
Thank you very much one more time!

I'll try it this afternoon.

EDIT: It doesn't work. I think that's because the file has only 4MB and it should have 8. Could you make the backup with other tool? For example with Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0?

Thank you!
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gatoh:
How difficult will be to obtain the original BIOS file from Ainol? or a BIOS update!
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] blinkone:
I think you would have more luck walking to mars than getting any kinda response from Ainol but its worth a try I guess..I will also try to get the correct BOIS for you from Geekbuying but the same there though don't hold your breath.

Oh one more thing if you do find the correct BOIS before me please post it here thanks.

Edit: Can you try this https://mega.nz/#!RlVjxJ5Q!gWbnzlLUsAl6tarHI_XydwKvDgINW6bMLTNs-JXBN7g
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gatoh:
Thank you, really, thank you so much!

I have tried this 8MB rom file, and it didn't work. It's like the old one, but with the first 4MB empty (FF's)

I'll keep you up to date!
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] gatoh:
I have tried everything with no effect. I think that I have just two possibilities:

1) Ainol or someone uploads the 8MB correct BIOS image

2) Buy another Ainol Z3735D in order to extract myself its BIOS with my SPI programmer.

Wants anyone sell his Ainol? :D
[Android Stick & Console Intel based Computers] galaxyms:
Hi guys, I just bought one of these PCs. Got a problem with mine - the battery doesn't seem to charge. And now the keyboard and mouse (wired) doesn't seem to be recognised by the USB ports. It boots into Windows 10 but I can't do anything except turn it off via the power button (holding it down) On restart its the same. I made a backup of Windows 8.1 (recovery image and system image). Windows 10 went on without a hitch even languages were in English. How do I enter the bios? I tried delete key but I fear the USB ports have gone dead so not able to enter it??!!! Really strange!!! It was all working fine then it became unresponsive!

Edit: When plugging in an optical mouse there is no LED lighting up and plugging an android phone... it doesn't charge. Its looking like somehow the 5V on the USB port has gone? Maybe something related to the fact the battery isn't charging. I now have a choice, open it up to try and fix it or try to return it to Gearbest. Returning things to Gearbest is difficult/expensive and there isn't much hope they will replace it. From my experience their customer service is not good plus they will probably say I shouldn't have put Windows 10 on it.

Further update, now it doesn't even switch on. Its going to have to go back to gearbest. The PSU appears good, as the power on symbol appears in windows when it was plugged in when it booted. I don't have a DMM here to test it at the moment.

Xmas Present

Hi all, my friends and I purchased one of these for a friends flat that we regularly sit in. I did windows updates and then used the upgrade tool within W8.1, however the little PC seems to be struggling a bit. It has frozen a couple times, requiring a hard reset; it has failed to output to the TV requiring a hard reset; the other day the wifi stopped for no reason, fixed after restarting and this evening it wouldn't pick up the wireless kb+m. Going to go tomorrow and try sort it with Windows updates and drivers, anyone else had similar problems that they've managed to sort?

FYI it is the z3735F edition with the micro USB 2.0

Cheers

The new Device Protection features of Android 5.1 on the Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 can, in certain cases, cause you to have a bootloader which can not be unlocked.

Please have a read of the following links:

[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
i would never relock my bootloader

people unlock there bootloader for a reason

but to relock it after thats just wrong...

thats one of the things i hate about CM

they recommend you to relock your bootloader...
[Nexus 9 General] Scott:
Agreed, why would you lock your bootloader unless sending in for repairs maybe?

But Google is really messing up the flow. The nexus 6 5.1 OTA is a mess right now but I will leave that for another thread.
[Nexus 9 General] Travelawyer:
Android 5.1 for Nexus 9? You must be joking. :D
[Nexus 9 General] disturbd1:
So, I just purchased a Nexus 9 via the 4-hour online-only sale at Best Buy. It was $100 off, couldn't pass it up. My question is: is this likely going to be shipped in such a condition as to prevent me from permanently unlocking the bootloader? Or is a permanent lock something one must deliberately do?
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:
No no you can still unlock it

But if you relock it that's the problem
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
As USBhost said, you'll be able to unlock it. However, when you are first setting it up and are running through the set-up wizard, there will be an option to "Protect Device" or something like that. If you enable it, and re-lock the bootloader, it will put you in a situation where you can only unlock the booloader in certain situations -- and if you happen to have a bootloop with a locked bootloader, that's when you are in trouble.

EDIT: On Nexus devices, I personally unlock the bootloader as soon as I take it out of the box,

without

first booting into Android, and then leave it unlocked. But of course, you give up some security by doing that.
[Nexus 9 General] disturbd1:
Considering this is a tablet, hopefully I won't lose or misplace it :p

Thanks, guys! Glad I stumbled across this thread before the thing arrived.
[Nexus 9 General] doitright:
Locking the bootloader doesn't protect you from anything. If the device leaves your physical control in a potentially hostile environment, whatever is on the system or boot partition becomes suspect, regardless of whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
Example: I have a device running a stock ROM with no encryption, the stock recovery and a lock screen password. I happen to lose my phone. What happens to the photos of me dancing to Old Time Rock & Roll in my underwear that are stored on the device? If the bootloader is unlocked, someone just plugs it into a PC, boots TWRP and pulls them off. If the bootloader is locked, there is no easy way to see or get the photos off the device.

That is all I was saying about security. Nothing to do with you leaving your device somewhere or losing it, and then finding it again. Strictly about the personal content on the device.
[Nexus 9 General] bailyc:
I thought Lollipop always requires you to go in and check the Enable OEM Unlock box? Or is that not true if you never booted into Android even once?
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
If you have never booted into Android, then you don't need to check that setting. As I said, that's the way I did it on my N6: take out of box -> charge -> boot directly into bootloader -> "fastboot oem unlock". No other steps required if you don't boot into Android first.

The bootloader on my Nexus 9 Android 5.1.1 is locked forever due to my mistake

Short backstory:

- I wanted to install the Android M developer Preview for the Nexus 9 but I forgot to check "Enable OEM unlock" in developer options (worst mistake).

- I used adb command to flash the new image but failed somehow

- I carelessly type # fastboot oem lock

- I tried to factory reset from bootloader to bring it back to Stock. Now it couldn't factory reset and my Nexus 9 hangs in a nice boot loop.

- I try # fastboot oem unlock but failed with permission denied error

I tried some ways to save my device but no hopes

- I used Nexus Root Tookit to unlock bootloader or restore image with force mode but failed,

- I follow instruction in HTC dev forum to get identifier token in order to receive your unlock code binary file but failed

- Unluckily, I don't installed any custom recovery.

Please help if you know a way unlock the bootloader or flash the factory ROM to save the nexus 9
[Nexus 9 General] cam30era:
Not possible. You will have to return it to HTC for repair or replacement.
[Nexus 9 General] cobyman7035:
u mean u forgot to CHECK to box to allow oem UNLOCK? im confused lol
[Nexus 9 General] quekl84:
Yes, I forgot to check the box to allow oem UNLOCK. And now my device is locked forever.
[Nexus 9 General] smayonak:
A quick question: A lot of N9 ROMs require flashing an updated bootloader from the factory image. Aren't these bootloaders locked by default? Can we flash a factory bootloader over a custom ROM?

It seems that we might bork our Nexus 9s if we flash a locked bootloader in.
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
Bootloaders from factory images are not lock or unlocked -- the lock state of the bootloader is stored in a different partition, i.e., a partition that is NOT flashed when you flash the bootloader from the factory image. So, if you are unlocked, and flash a bootloader from a factory image, you will remain unlocked.
[Nexus 9 General] cam30era:
If your bootloader is unlocked, it stays unlocked, even when flashing a new bootloader. The only way to lock your bootloader is with the specific command, "fastboot oem lock" while device is in bootloader.
[Nexus 9 General] smayonak:
Thank you!

Where does the Android OS store information on the bootloader state? In the recovery partition? Can we wipe the system directory (without impacting the recovery or bootloader)?
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
It varies by device. I haven't looked into it for the Nexus 9, so I'm not sure where it is on that device, but I can tell you that it's NOT stored in the recovery, system, userdata or boot partitions.
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
Yes.
[Nexus 9 General] mediaman123:
Is this still the case about re-locking of the bootloader...........?

I have just got my 9 and of course unlocked it immediately.............

I would like to be able to re-lock in the event a warranty repair is required......

what would I need to do to this...........?

can and older OS build be flashed, then re-lock the bootloader......
[Nexus 9 General] kbboykin:
Hello, I purchased an unlocked N9 with Android 5.1 off eBay. It is NOT rooted. I want to relock it for security reasons. Is this safe or foolish? Also, if I retire it from daily driving, could I unlock it again? Can't quite understand from this thread. I unlocked a TF700 and was told it would be permanently unlocked. I still have it and can experiment on that, but I need this N9 to be re-locked to replace my N7 2013. Thanks in advance
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
There is a thread in the Nexus 6 forums describing how to safety re-lock your bootloader. It is also applicable to the Nexus 9.
[Nexus 9 General] kbboykin:
Thanks. One last thing. Is the warranty voided since it is unlocked or being a Nexus device, it's not affected?.
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
I've never returned anything for warranty work, but I doubt it is voided by being unlocked.
[Nexus 9 General] CerB:
Mine is being prepaired to return and get a replacement, i talked to a supporter, and he told me to revert to stock and locked, other wise they would return the tablet to me.
[Nexus 9 General] kbboykin:
I travel a lot and will be taking this currently unlocked N9 that replaces by N7 2013. I often use open WiFi, if I don't have my hotspot with me. Am I vulnerable to security breaches if I leave this unlocked? I don't do much custom ROM on my tablets, just phones in the past. TIA.
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
An unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with the security breaches you are talking about. What an unlocked bootloader allows is: if you lose your device, or leave it unattended, and someone has physical access to it, and your data is not encrypted, then someone will be able to view all your personal data.
[Nexus 9 General] kbboykin:
Thanks. I may leave it unlocked then as I'm afraid I might bork it, even though the directions seem pretty straight forward to relock it.
[Nexus 9 General] whowatchlist:
As [MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION] said, your bootloader has nothing to do with your internet security. This may be just me, but i use orbot with transparent proxying enabled to whenever i use an open wi-fi. (you must be rooted to do this)

You can download orbot on the g play store.
[Nexus 9 General] Gold Ribbed:
I have just got a Nexus 9 and updated to M 6.01. If I unlock the boot loader will I be able to lock it again after flashing stock via add?

Is it safe to re-lock boot loader at all?
[Nexus 9 General] efrant:
There's a link in post #14 to a thread in the Nexus 6 section, which has some steps to take before relocking. Steps should be the same for the M9. But yes, you can relock. The question is why you'd want to?
