They have stopped making this device now.

My one broke after 1 month use.

It's been back at the factory for 2 months being fixed.

I think the processor is to powerful and as a result makes to much heat.

My advice is buy the Air or cap the CPU frequency and replace thermal paste.

P.s even if you limit the cpu and mod it to you still won't know if it's going to fry until its to late.

Is it the old one that had windows only (K9C3) or the new dual boot one (K9C6)? I have had my K9C6 one for some days now and havent had any problems, however I removed Windows 10 and only use Mireks Android ROM. I think many people mostly have been having problems using windows 10. I also ordered some copper heat sinks + silicone pads. Gonna open it up and improve the cooling transfer.
[Android General] agaryt:
Exact opposite in my case... deleted Android, set one partition and installed windows 10. Works like a dream and never had any heating issues...

It get warm sometimes even my mobile phone getting more hot...
[Android General] djgholum:
Hi,

I want to do this and delete Android,

Could you kindly give me an idiot guide ? for deleting Android?
[Android General] vhamv53:
Hello ! and as you have made such happiness? tell me please, my machine is dead (is charged for days and could not fully charged, does not run) as much as possible back to life my teclast x98 pro !!!???
[Android General] Blandroid:
I'd also be interested to know how to go about deleting android. I have Nox installed on the Windows side so haven't used the android side for weeks now - it's a bit redundant.

I probably won't go ahead with obliterating android - I'd like to leave it there for when I eventually sell the tablet. I'm interested in the process though.

Thanks in advance :cool:
[Android General] mdrodge:
The new one. I left with android and windows. I used it for a bit in windows then i tried to boot to android and it died.
[Android General] Blandroid:
No, people have tried but the one that's released for the X98 Air is not compatible with this version of Teclast X98 and I doubt if the one for the X98 Plus will be either.

IIRC, the guys on Tech Tablets who tried the X98 Air version couldn't use the touchscreen.

They do seem to be releasing roms for different tablets and requests have been made to them about ours (one of them by me :laugh: ) so hopefully we'll get something soon :good:
[Android General] rhimezz:
I actually mailed one of the devs and he said the Plus version should work for Pro but they havent tested it because the dev team dosent own a pro. Just wanted to check if someone have here.
[Android General] Blandroid:
That sounds promising - are you going to go for it? :highfive:

I might have a go tomorrow - I'll dig out my backup first though ;)
[Android General] rhimezz:
im worried i will brick it, im really not good at repairing stuff.
[Android General] Blandroid:
It shouldn't brick - the worst that will happen is that it won't be 100% compatible and the tablet won't be fully functional after flashing.

I'll try it either tomorrow or maybe Friday and post my results/findings here.

Why are you asking about Remix if you're scared of flashing/bricking your tab? :confused:

The only way to overcome your concerns is to try - we all had to. Just make sure you follow decent guides from places like this, do a backup beforehand, ask questions if you need to and take your time.
[Android General] rhimezz:
Im just not very comfortable using fastboot for flashing, i perfer recovery zip file in TWRP, but I guess I should do what this guide says in here:

http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us/articles/218081838-How-to-flash-Remix-OS-2-0-onto-Nexus-9-and-10-

right? Without flashing recovery so TWRP dosent get removed.
[Android General] Blandroid:
That's not the method I'd use. I'll flash it using the Intel Flash Tool which is what's recommended for this tablet.

Why don't you join Tech Tablets? There's a dedicated X98 Pro forum there - I think you'd benefit from having a good read and learning more.

The members there are cool - you'll get help if you need it :)
[Android General] rhimezz:
Ok I just tested out the X98 Plus RemixOS ROM in X98 Pro.

I get some small "error text" when I boot the tablet, says something about that "rom isnt compatible" or something.

But then it boots into RemixOS and everything runs great, except ONE big problem....the rom dosent seem to recognise the battery, the battery meter in the rom is always 0% and it never goes up, you have to have a usb connected to run the rom because if you disconnect the cable it will instantly power off. But the rom ran great on it, I could open everything flawlessly, didnt get crashes, or errors messages inside the rom.

I think there is very little to be done to make this version run in X98 Pro, just remove those error messages in boot and make the rom recognise the tablets battery.

I mailed this to the RemixOS devs, hopefully they can get an official X98 Pro version up for download soon :D
[Android General] agaryt:
I can prepare description how I did it. In my case it was a bit way round because my teclast has no usb boot option in bios and had to use console to fire windows setup (otherwise windows installation omitted disk partition option and the upshot was clean system with old partitions and android aside).

Anyway, let me know if you still interested and I could make description this afternoon.
[Android General] djgholum:
It will be very kind, because, as I wrote, I am not interested in Android and 30gb capacity for C drive in not enough for Windows. So I am sure it is better to delete Android and add the space to Windows.

But I am looking for a simple way just to deleting Android and adding the space without reinstall the windows. If it is not possible then with reimbursing the windows.

Dual boot option by start must be also delete.

Thanks in advance for your feedback and help.
[Android General] agaryt:
There is very easy way to get rid of android without reinstalling windows.

You need start tablet in windows mode then put in search “computer management”.

You’ll get program called as above and there is option “storage” on the left side, click on this to get Disk management option. Click on Disk Management and you’ll see all your partitions in the right window( there will be a lot of them… android like any linux/unix needs them…). You need to find partition with android ( between 20 and 30 GB) then right click on it and choose delete partition. Then in order: create partition, format it, and change drive letter eg: e:

Up to this point I did it myself as well and it worked with no problem at all.

However, you’ll get two partitions, if you prefer one big partition try to google : “merging partitions” and you’ll get some hints how to do it. There are programs like: Easyus, AOMEI Partition Assistant which allegedly have such possibility. ( I don’t know them and never used them)

You have to remember that there will be still few other partitions in your tablet left which be invisible for windows that is why I personally preferred to make clean installation which allowed me to clean whole disk and use it with windows entirely.

Clean windows installation needs more work and more preparations. If you decide to make it I’ll make description for you however you need USB hub with external power supply, memory stick minimum 1GB, micro SD card minimum 8GB, external usb keyboard and mouse. If you have access to other computer you don’t need Memory stick but usb micro SD adapter instead.

No gapps, no browser

Hello guys,

After one month in the Spanish customs I received my X98 Pro (K9C6) today. I'm Swedish but live in Spain and without being registered in the Spanish customs it's not a good idea to use TNT or DHL for deliveries from China to here. :eek:

Anyway, much to my surprice, my X98 doesn't have any gapps in Android except the Google Settings app, and worse, there's no browser. But, it was set to English language in both Android and Windows. Very strange. I bought it from Geekbuing.

Is there a way to get the gapps and a browser in it without flashing a complete new Android to it?

Also, the camera app crash on startup. No camera in other words.

Am I the only one who received a X98 Pro in this state?
[Android General] Blandroid:
I never use DHL for exactly the reason you've unfortunately discovered. Other methods take longer but usually no more than 2 weeks so I'd rather wait than pay import tax.

Re Gapps, try this which is an installer that I got on another site, that helped me get Gapps on my old Onda tablet when I installed Remix on it.

Re the browser, have you tried sideloading one? By installing an APK Extractor app on your phone, you'll be able to get a browser onto your tablet quite easily and if the installer works, get one from the Play Store. You can get a camera app there too if that's all that's wrong and it's not a hardware issue.

If you buy your devices from places like TinyDeal, AliExpress and Geekbuying, they will set the tablet up for you in advance but you have to read all the description properly to ensure they've got Play Store etc presinstalled.
[Android General] agaryt:

[MENTION=1602768]agaryt[/MENTION]

Thanks for your help. I was thinking today that I have been using Aptoide before in other devices and there you usually find everything. Therefore I sideloaded Aptoide and from there I was able to download and install Play Store and Play services. Case solved!

It's all very strange because I bought the tab from Geekbuying and their devices usually comes with gapps installed, unless something else is stated in the product description. Something must have gone wrong at the factory with my X98 Pro, but now it's solved anyway. :)

Time to root Android and install Greenify and some tweaks. Maybe xposed? Maybe Then it's time to slim Windows 10 and shut of all built in privacy violating things there (telemetry etc.).

I guess this model overheats a lot too and throttle the SoC like all other Intel based Teclast tabs. Therefor I will open it later and do the same cooling mod that I did with my X80 HD.

[Android General] djgholum:
Thank you very much, I'll do it and report here.

My issue is the getting more capacity for Windows.

Is it also possible to make Android partition to minium size and merge the rest to Windows parrition too?

If yes, then could you kindly say which size is the smallest possible size for Android partition, with it Android can be still active?

Thanks again
[Android General] Blandroid:
Yay!! Good for you - I'm so glad you got it sorted :good:

I've never been successful sideloading Gapps and I've tried many times over the years :crying: I've always either had to flash it through recovery, use that installer I linked or go without if the device didn't have a custom recovery available.
[Android General] MacArthur67:
I also tried to sideload Play before in Chinese devices bought in street stores in China, and it's been a nightmare. Now since there are trusted stores in Aptoide that have the latest version of Play (mark8 for example) it was really easy.

However, the camera problem remains. It doesn't work with other camera apps too. It seems like the camera driver is missing. If I could get it separately I might be able to push it into the right directory after root.

Geekbuying replied about the missing apps that the apps "may deleted by our warehouse by mistake", whatever that means. I think they have a person employed to start all devices and change to English settings before they ship them to the west. But how would you be able to delete a system app by mistake in a device without root access? :eek:
[Android General] Blandroid:
TBH, I've never tried doing it through Aptoide - that's a great approach and one I will remember, although I do try to only buy devices from people who I trust to have them set up correctly to begin with. I know you did too - this is just unfortunate I guess.

Did you ask Geekbuying if they could provide you with a copy? Or maybe ask on this thread if anyone can help? I'd be happy to extract it and link it here if you can tell me what to look for and signpost me to where it is - I wouldn't have a clue.

You wouldn't be able to - it can't have been in the rom to begin with. I wouldn't take too much notice of excuses made by Chinese sellers/dealers - some of them wouldn't know the truth if it slapped them upside the head :rolleyes:
[Android General] agaryt:
quite interesting what you did with X80 HD. If you do the same with X98 PRO let us know here please :)
[Android General] agaryt:
Never had needs to do so, for me Android on tablet is useless so never thought about tinker with it. However I don't think it is impossible .;)
[Android General] djgholum:
You mean: it is not possible?

Even with some partition managers?
[Android General] agaryt:
on the contrary, I mean it is possible
[Android General] djgholum:
Thanks, any suggestion?
[Android General] agaryt:
Sorry I have no experience with mixed systems on tablet.
[Android General] Novakingwai:
would you mind explaining how to install the rom? I see it talkinb about installing adb.exe first or something.

I figured it out.
[Android General] Novakingwai:
I got a 64gb Sandisk microsd. I stuck it in the Android version. I formatted it, the tablet rebooted, but it still says the sd is unrecognizable. Help?
[Android General] A.N.Droid:
I have a 128 gb sandisk card, formatted in ntfs. I use paragon ntfs to mount it in android. Works perfect, full size.
[Android General] djgholum:
Paragon NTFS in Android or Windows?
[Android General] A.N.Droid:
Format with ntfs in windows. In android, install paragon ntfs from playstore to be able to mount the ntfs formated card. Its free and can be setup to mount the card on boot or manual if you prefer. It will also mount all ntfs (windows) partitions on the emmc, so you may want to configure it to only mount the sdcard.

I use it on my phone (more than a year, no problems at all) with a 64gb and on my x98 pro with a 128gb sandisk card.
[Android General] djgholum:
Thanks, vielen Dank
[Android General] mdrodge:
That's good advice. I've just switched to ntfs. Many thanks.

Got my x98 pro back from China after nearly 3 months. I think they just reflowed the cpu but I'll never know.

I've just flashed v6 or the mirek190 rom and set about redownloading all my files from my nas.

After 3 hours it got very hot and started crashing.

I used a cpu overclocking app to reduce the clock to 1000mhz in Android, this made it much cooler but different things crashed.

I've just pushed it to 1440mhz and so far so good.

I'll probably run it at 1600 or 1800 for every day use.

Has anyone done any real thermal testing to see at what speeds it gets hot?

Has anyone done a heat sink or thermal paste mod?

This will be my next step but as I've already cooked my unit at least once i would love some info because I don't think it'll take to much more to kill it.

I was told the reason it took so long to fix was because they don't make them anymore and so no longer had spares or the tooling required to just simply rework the board I'm guessing it was hard work to mend my unit so i really want to avoid it breaking.
[Android General] mdrodge:
Dose any one else have problems with Windows not being activated. I think i might have to try and switch to Win 10 home if i can get the drivers etc.
[Android General] shaunydub:
Anyone had issues with the tablet not waking up and needing a button press reboot?

Three times now I have tried to resume an Android session from the previous day and nothing happens.

Never had any issues with Windows 10, just Android.

I am running the mirek rom.
[Android General] mdrodge:
The K9C6 Windows Image Links are broken.

I really need this file and can't find it anywhere.

Can anyone help me out??? Please?

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I was also having the same problem.

I guess there's a bug in the Mirek190 Rom
[Android General] YechiamTK:
Hi guys, I have a few questions I wanted to check before buying this tablet:

1. Is the dual boot version only a software update or a different model?

2. Are there any ROMs ported for this tablet?

3. Is there a marshmallow update? And what about Windows updates?

4. Is the heat issue still an issue or was it solved?

5. Is there root method for this tablet? (actually should come before no. 2)

6. Does this tablet have constant support from the company or from xda?

Thanks in advance!
[Android General] mdrodge:
So hears what they did with my k9c9 at the factory.

1* reflowed it to make it work again.

2* limit it to dual core @1.44ghz

I really want to try to unlock the other two cores.

It dose run well and I've managed to open the clock up but it got hot so i normally leave it down.

If I can unlock the cores I'd do a heat sink mod.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

1 different model

2 mirik190 is only custom ROM

3 no

4 heat issues is why they don't make this anymore.

5 root or use rooted firmware

6 factory just "mended" my unit

I ordered my on at Gearbest, hopefully it will be delivered until the end of next week. My first China tablet.
[Android General] MisiekFoxx:
I already got mine about a week ago. Seems like a pretty good tablet. Do HATE Windows on tablets though. So currently I am anxious for the Android rom release which should come out pretty soon. Having Windows in dual boot is just for some casual gaming and steam streaming.
[Android General] TMG1961:
i also hope that it will be soon possible to install adroid on the tablet. Havent been using windows for some years now..laptop runs linux and phone android
[Android General] albertocp5:
Hello, I have a problem. I made a clean install of windows and now I can't use the camera, I tried to install the drivers but they can't be installed, they give an error.
[Android General] TMG1961:
Got the tablet, all working fine. Its windows 10 only. Only thing that is a problem is the power adapter, it doesnt want to stay in the eu adapter for it, so cant load the tablet, only can load it through usb port laptop. Looking for a normal power adapter that will work in The Netherlands.
[Android General] Cyvillian:
I recently took receipt of this tablet and have done some work to port Android to it, but lack the post count to share the links with what I've done. Will report back when I've done that.
[Android General] Cyvillian:
I've had my X98 Pro for quite a few weeks now. Plugging a USB hub in and connecting USB storage and a keyboard allowed me to start Linux up on the device. Getting a framebuffer was easy, although the kernel threw tracebacks related to the i915 drm and the SoC's audio throws tracebacks as well, even using a custom-built 4.3.0-rc1 kernel.

Wifi isn't working yet. The card is a Realtek 8723BS SDIO 802.11n card. See this post for more details. https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs/issues/20

Compiling with more than -j1 hardlocks the tablet. Running X also hardlocks the tablet. I haven't been able to get kernel or X logs to give me more information.

I might have more luck if I cracked the tablet open and soldered myself a UART/serial interface. Several appear as serial devices.

It would be nice, although I have no reason to suspect that there is a serial port hidden in the headphone jack like some devices.

To note, there are some Windows driver updated available here: http://bbs.teclast.com/thread-510533-1-1.html

I am working on an AOSP build for this device, although Teclast has recently released their "X98 Pro Dual" which should be dual-booting Android 5.1. If you'd like to contribute or fork my code, check out here. https://github.com/bkero/android_device_teclast_x98pro. A kernel tree (with defconfig) is available at https://github.com/bkero/android_kernel_teclast_x98pro

EDIT: I was also able to create an image of the filesystem by booting Linux off a USB drive, then using 'dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M | gzip > /mnt/x98pro.dd.gz'. In case I b0rk the whole thing I can reliably restore the device using this.
[Android General] fetto666:
Just ordered the tablet and am hoping that it will eventually run Linux.

When i have an image of the file-system, how do i restore it back again?
[Android General] huggy2008:
Hey Cyvillian,

sounds interesting. Unfortunately Im still waiting for my one.

Please keep us updated about the serial interface.

What about the heat and the turbo mode ? Anybody get problems with to hoot CPU core?

Best regards huggy

[Android General] Mattthev:
Anybody who could port Cyanogenmod for dual boot? Or make custom rom? I want buy this tablet. But waiting if they can fix overheating and battery life.
[Android General] 09294:
Hi everybody,

This week, I knew Teclast has a new X98 PRO international version different to the sold one from China. They closed a new International version for EU specially. So, it looks like, they will have 2 international versions. They will launch the new one on Sept 27Th and this new version has not Chinese apks, it has new apks, several new free accesories what I do not know yet, European warranty,…. I work in a media in EU and we received it. They will sell from Spain to EU (teclast.es) as I can see on teclast.com. Upon my point of view, this step from Teclast is very, very interesting for EU people. I will pay attention to teclast.es in order to see the new presale.
[Android General] Mattthev:
Hi guys, does anybody have this tablet? I was curious if you can overclock GPU, it should be like intel HD 5200 or 5300 I'm not sure, so it could have more power. I have HD 4600 and in XTU I can overclock around 1400MHz from 1150MHz. I'm not sure if Intel XTU work with Atoms... Or maybe you can try MSI Afterburner or another apps. Thanks.
[Android General] me.home:
Thank u for the info !

I did reserve one, well it's € 349.- although you get some more goodies I still think it's the same tablet.
[Android General] huggy2008:
349 sounds expensive comparing to 215 for current international version. Are there big differents in hardware ? Thinking about cancel my order at Gearbest for this. Where did you order it ?
[Android General] me.home:
I'll get one from Aliexpress from the 229 US $ sell off. They shipped it today.

Looking forward for customs fee...:D

And maybe I'll buy the one from Spain for my working college who would also like one.
[Android General] zijin_cheng:
I don't know how advisable it is to overclock a bay trail GPU in a tablet, but even if you could performance increase wouldn't be that much.
[Android General] Mattthev:
Like on laptop, it could help a lot. At least 10% it matter how high we can go stable.

BTW it's a Cherry Trail
[Android General] TMG1961:
Got mine for almosta week now. Having some problems, the tablet shut down a few times as if someone pulled the battery out of it. After starting up again somethings werent working ok and had to do a reset. During reset the tablet shut down again. Mailed the shop were i bought it and as soon as they got the new delivery in i can send it back and get a replacement..might even be the dual boot tablet. Got the windows only now.
[Android General] huggy2008:
There are some overheating issues known. On gaming and 4k or Full HD videos some cores heating up to 86 degrees and the clock speed of them throttle down. You can check this on techtablets. Chris from them post a mod to improvecooling.
[Android General] TMG1961:
I did send the tablet back after checking with the shop, its in The netherlands as well so will be there tomorrow. They are going to send me a new one as they get the new stock in.
[Android General] YechiamTK:
So basically a big "STAY AWAY FROM THIS TABLET" statement. Thanks for the heads up.
