dual boot

Hello. I Chuwi vi8 only with win 8. You can do dual boot OS? thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] lucasroamaral:
Guys, I dind't got any answer for my problem, can anyone help me please? I installed the W10 on my chuwi vi8 (not the clean mode, i kind of "updated") and I managed to get the Insyde folder from windows.old and put is on the place it should be on the new windows, but I can't use it to change to android. I already tried to use the "DualOSInstaller" on the folder but nothing happens, I tried to use de "DualOSService" and again, nothing happens, the same with the "DualOSSwitcher". Do I need to download and install anything?
[Device Reviews and Information] BlueFlame:
looks like it needs the service "Insyde Dual OS WMI Service".

Could you check if it was installed by executing DualOSInstaller?

Maybe you first need to reboot or start it manually if it's there.

Edit:

If it's not created, you could try to create the service via the following command in an ms-dos prompt: "sc create pathtotheexe\DualOSService.exe"

I also upgraded my Chuwi Vi8 Dual boot to Windows 10 home (no clean install, kept all apps and settings). Everything works fine out of the box. I didn't notice any inaccuracys with the touchscreen. Android does still work and Insyde OS switch works fine too.

Very happy :)

NEED HELP!

Sorry for my bad English, this is my second language.

Luckily my tablet (or me?) reseted the partitions on the eMMC card, so no windows, neither android :( i tried to made a clean install winth the bootable win 8.1 pro x86, but the tablet said: need some drivers, so i downloaded it and copy to the usb drive, but i wont fine for the tablet.

So my question is, somebody has a eMMC full backup for my tablet (s/n: 22150112273), so i can fix my tablet with it.

Thank you for your help.

Hey, I entered on my services and find the insyde service and clicked on "Start" and my computed booted on android. I went back to windows and changed the service from "Manual" to "Automatic", but still not working the Boot button. Maybe my service is with the worng name and the programming isn't finding the service that way. Could somebody look on services and tell me how the name of it is writen? Mine is: "Insyde Dual OS WMI Service"

Also on de DUALOSLOG I found this: Fail to open WMI Script Server

Hi Chuwi owners, i noticed that on my recently received Chuwi Vi8 if i use the touchscreen with the stock power adapter connected i got lot of false input readings in multiple zones far from where i actually touched. Is this normal? Hardware or software issue?

If its a feature of less expensive touchscreen i can live with it (it reminds me of my samsung wave s8500 touchscreen reading correctly inputs only when hold in hands).

You were doing it right. You do need to install the drivers for this device. Download them from here:

How did you enabled the tray icon for the graphics video board? I used them, but it wouldn't appear. I tried to download them from intel's website, but it wasn't available.

Please all be aware that there is Malware on the android part of the Chuwi Vi8.

I used the Chuwi file explorer and after that "Speed booster" was installed automatically on this tablet.

Start page of the default browser is changed (it says its still the same, but as soon as you open a new tab, it goes to "gotoamazing. com" instead of your startpage).

It's a real shame that this junk is on a lot of Chinese tablets...

Hello roykatz9,

Have you read the last four pages of this thread? There are some solutions for your problem mentioned there.

If you did, please indicate that they did not work for you and what exactly you have already done to resolve the problem so we can better help you :)
[Device Reviews and Information] roykatz9:
I tried doing everything, I installed the windows 10 drivers, then I installed the windows 8.1 drivers and after that I have installed the dualos switcher which gave me back the ability to switch between the os's. But still no good with the touch screen :/

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

you have to deinstall the intel graphics and the kmf mini-driver first, the reinstall intel graphics, reboot and reinstall mini-driver, that fixed touch-issue for me
[Device Reviews and Information] BlueFlame:
So, upgraded today to win 10.

If you use any other language as installation media than "English (United States)" it will NOT keep your drivers and applications (like the touch driver and OS Switch app).

So if you want to keep those and save some time in configuring afterwards, make sure to install the English US version of Win 10.

Your old windows is saved as Windows.old. For me this directory was 11GB in size. If you remove it, you get 11GB back :)

Windows partition is indeed larger than before (from +-13 GB to 18,76GB). This is because the recovery partition (before +- 5 GB? after 449 MB) is smaller and the space recovered is added to the windows partition.

I'm having tons of troubles with W10.

First of all, my tablet is unable to boot from USB, there's no option to do it. USB Booting is enabled in BIOS, but there's no USB element in the BOOT Device Menu. Tried with different pendrives, HUBs, and directly, but there's no way.

Finally, I updated to W10 with no file conservation.

I don't have audio, either camera, but in Device Manager, it appears to be all correct, with drivers.

Any idea?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] axistr:
Yes, first I upgraded via Windows Update to activate it. But you may need to install some drivers such as touch driver to work properly.

[MENTION=2459585]Vancete[/MENTION], I can boot from my USB but I cannot access to BIOS and boot menu in standard way. Volume down + Power doesn't work. Pressing Esc via USB keyboard also doesn't work on my device. However I can access to boot menu from Windows 10 startup setting menu like below(UEFI Firmware Settings).

http://cdn5.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/access-uefi-firmware-settings.jpg

Then, I did a clean install from my USB flash created with Rufus from Windows 10 iso with below settings. No need to do extra things like WinPE or other methods.

I need some help again. Since my dual boot button isn't working, I was using only the windows OS. So the other day I decided to go to the android OS and went to services and started the dual OS service, changing to android. Since then I can't go back to windows, I use the dual OS button on the android and the windows starts, but I am not able to put my password because the Windows shuts down and the Android starts again. It's like the service is starting with the windows and changing the OS. How do I start the windows with the services stoped?

[Device Reviews and Information] tiagao_extremo:
Same here. Seems that everyone is excited about windows 10, but aren't comparing performance. Windows 10 also consumes more ram. I'm not so sure about a real benefit in comparison to windows 8.1, if there's any.

What about a clean install from windows 10?
[Device Reviews and Information] lucasroamaral:

"Activation error

A networking problem has occurred while activating your copy of Windows. (Error code: 0xC004FC03)

What it means and how to fix it

You might see this error if you're not connected to the Internet or your firewall settings are preventing Windows from completing the activation process online. Check to make sure you're connected to the Internet and your firewall isn't blocking Windows from activating. If you're still having problems, you can try activating Windows by phone."

My question is.. How to unblock the activation from firewall?

Only option is to boot from recovery drive (see option 3 from this link )

Shift + F8 do not work anymore (tested this multiple times and indeed does not work).

P.s.

Make sure your keyboard is directly connected to your tablet if you want to enter BIOS by pressing Esc. if it's connected through a hub, it might not work (in my case).

Win 8.1 to Win 10 Auto upgrade and my android intact still ??

HI:confused:

Im getting the tablet with win 8.1 and android 4.4 dual boot.

My Question, if I let windows 8.1 do the upgrade automatically, will the tablet become win 10 and still

Would I need to do anything, before letting the upgrade to happen automatically, like change UEFI settings etc

USB Boot is not working

Hi,

I want to fresh install windows 10 on my Chuwi vi8 tablet but USB boot option is not working. When i go to Boot Manager, it's showing 3 options.

Windows Boot Manager

Android

EFI Shell

I checked Setup > Boot > USB Boot and it's enabled.

Also checked Advanced > USB options and they look fine but if you guys see any issue. Please let me know.

I tried to boot with USB from Windows restart (shift + restart) option and got this message.

System doesn't have any USB Boot option...

Here are the 4 screenshots. I'm not allowed to post links yet. Please copy-paste in browser.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi (thanks for previous response) (upgrade for dummies way):confused:

I just want to let windows do the update to win 10 automatically, not install myself via usb stick etc. When I get the tablet next week, Im just adding a memory card to make upto 64gb. (not add any apps extra yet etc) Im adding extra memory as Microsoft said that systems with 32gb might need extra disk space while downloading and installing win 10. If I see the windows ICON down in the corner asking me to reserve or upgrade to win 10 (letting microsoft do update) that the way I want to do. (I do have the files of the win 10 device drives and was thinking about storing on system and changing path for device drives to locate it if needed) Good or bad idea?? Furthermore,

1. Do I need to update win 8.1 to win 8.1 update (or should this happen automatically with win auto updates)... I mention in last email about UEFI and I see people had issues with updates if this was enabled???

2. You talk about u remove raw partition.... Was that the automatic update doing that or telling u to do that etc???? or that because u installed win10 yourself via a USB stick?? What do I need to avoid this ???

3. Why Do I need to do win sys reinstall of setting (are u talking about System Restore Function in Windows)??? as this is new machine.. If it something I must do, can u explain exactly what I must do?

4. If everything auto installed I dont need to fix the boot up seq so I can select win or android...

Thanks again for your help and other community members. ( I dont want to make a electronic brick or trying reflash etc) :)

I dont have this tablet but am interested in purchasing it.. I have another chinese tablet with a similar chipset and it allowed me to boot from usb only from within the bios.. To clarify, insert your usb stick which contains a bootable OS, boot into bios, then somewhere in the boot tab or close by there is a restart option which allows you to boot from a connected device, in this case your usb stick..

Sorry, this is only from memory as my tablet wont boot any more.
[Device Reviews and Information] kwongwt:
Its a problem with the OS switching software.

You can delete the InsydeQ2S folder in program files in safe mode - the problem is it is difficult to get into safe mode for Win10 because the F8 key doesn't work any more.

The way I do it is to hold the on/off switch 4-5 sec after boot up and keep holding it so that it will turn itself off right before the Win10 log in page finish loading. That will trick Windows to believe that it has a bootup failure and will load diagnostic when it restarts. You might have to try a few times to get it working because if you start holding the on/off switch too soon it will just turn off without loading Windows and if you hold it too late it'll reboot into Android.

Once you are able to get into the diagnostic page you can use command prompt to delete InsydeQ2S. Once you get into Windows you can reinstall InsydeQ2S using Q25_x86.msi.
