+1 on the failing to get into fastboot mode :(

EDIT: Scrap that. Got into fastboot mode by holding volume up + down, then pressing power button for three seconds while keep pressing both volume buttons. Release power after 3 seconds
[Android General] roberts8:
ok, my current problem is flashing the gpt. gpt.bin contains only partition info and not whole gpt. Any ideas how to load partition info from gpt.bin and write it to emmc gpt?
[Android General] MisiekFoxx:
Been looking through the flash.json file. I see that they're flashing boot and system img twice. Don't really know why they're doing that... Would love to hear from somebody with an K9C6 model if he/she is successful in flashing. I have the K9C3 myself
[Android General] roberts8:
confirming that both volume buttons and power button works to get to fastboot. Chris@techtablets bricked his K9C3 while flashing the android rom, but it boots to loader, so I think it still should be able to get to the bios using keyboard. I will wait for his verification before I try to flash using fastboot.

I'm not sure wheter there are any hw differences between K9C3 and K9C6, it has the same temperature problems and even the bios version is the same
[Android General] MisiekFoxx:
Yes , exactly. I think i'm going to hold off as well for now. On techtablets I saw TecKnight commented in the comments of some post. He provided a great rom for the X98 Air. He might be able to help out here

So do you recommend this tablet?, I use Windows for remote control to my desktop, and Android for play some games

[Android General] camilion:
I own the older x98 air 3g model and I was wondering why the dual boot bios is still used with the x98 Pro.

As I understand, the need for the dual boot bios came from the fact that 32bit Windows can only boot using 32bit UEFI bios and Android can boot only using 64bit UEFI.

blogs.intel.com/evangelists/2015/07/22/why-cheap-systems-run-32-bit-uefi-on-x64-systems/

mjg59.dreamwidth.org/26734.html

Now that the x98 Pro has 64bit windows, which needs 64bit UEFI ( just as Android does), there should be no need for different bios for Android and Windows. You should be able to create dual boot system using regular dual boot bootloader, just as with regular linux installations. In my opinion the dual boot bios is really ugly hack to make things work and complicates system configuration and management enormously.

It would be nice if some brave soul could test if the Windows 10 only version of x98 Pro can boot the standard Android-x86. They just recently released Lollipop 5.1 release candidate. (use the 64bit EFI image). However, don't try this if you are not absolultely sure what you are doing (it can mess your system).

[Android General] roberts8:
it boots to black screen, I don't think that cherry trail platform is supported
[Android General] camilion:
Thanks roberts8 for testing this. It's a shame it didn't work, a completely open source android on this tablet would have been amazing.

I don't think that it's necessarily a cherry trail platform issue. Android-x86 ships with the linux kernel 4.0.9, which has support for the platform. Linux kernel 4.1 is supposed to have huge power efficiency improvements for cherry trail and bay trail platforms, but kernel 4.0 should work also. At least there should not be an issue preventing the basic boot system. Touch, gravity and other sensors may have issues though.

...

Based on little Googling I think that you may have stumbled on a same bug as Android-x86 developer with a Surface 3 tablet (Cherry trail also). Looks like it may be a display driver issue in the kernel that is being worked.

[Android General] tjeder01:
I like to share some of my experience of the x98:

I had to send my x98 pro because of an loop booting to bios. It's seems that my eMMC broke down. Before that I'll mostly tried android and what I found was a software fault that lower than 35% of volume the sound started flickering. So no low clean sound - super annoying. When inserting a 64 gb sd card the android version didn't let 3rd party applications use the SD card. So no bittorrent direct to the SD nor loading any movies directly from the SD card. Only the system apps was allowed to read and write. I also had to remove a system app called MusicFX which made the sound sound very echoing. Some sort of equaliser..

But I don't own x98 pro no more and I sorry to say this tablet is far from finished both software related and hardware...
[Android General] black_mambo:
Wow :) Thank you so much! I'm very happy that you enjoyed my review :)

(( How To root your X98 Pro device ))

Gents .. Just to share with you how to root the X98 pro .. I found it in Youtube ..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVZEkrVbm2I

here you can download the root files ..

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUOEKnPRz9genJDamc3WF9hSjQ/view

just extract it and connect your device in safe mode with usb debugging enabled .. and press root.bat .. after that, follow the screen instructions.

I rooted my device successfully .. but you should know that after rooting, you cannot update your x98 pro using OTA ( Teclast Auto update ) .. it will fail during updating in recovery ..

sdcard issues

Hi,

On mine sdcard (up to 128gb sdxc) have R/w access with windows 10, but android only up to 64gb and exfat produces card not formatted error so using fat32. However apps have no access to the sdcard, except esfile manager. No option to move data to Ext sd, and mapping programs report no sdcard.

This is pretty useless!

[Android General] lisek84:
yes, but you will also loose windows, since it formats internal flash to clear one.

The problem might be with Phone Tool Recognition.

As i wrote - My PC didn't saw Tablet PC connected, when I connected it dnx fastboot download mode.

I had to run Android, and then - when windows detects it, and installs adb drivers - this was necessary to flash.

You can't run Android so i'm not sure will your PC detects Tablet - Maybe it's problem with my Tablet Only, since roberts and official manual doesn't talk about running Android before flashing.

Just try - If Tablet will be detected in DNX Fastboot download mode on your PC - you are free to go to flash.

I was wondering the same, all I want is a great Android tablet without partitions and other compromises (like specific Win+Android ROM updates) but I would also want it to be updated to Marshmallow... if we could flash the stock Android on this tablet would it still be updated OTA?

And aren't we paying a windows 10 licence in this tablet price? I would rather give this money to Android development...

And being a x86 (PC like arquitecture) wouldn't it mean easier to get 3rd party ROM development (for X86 computers)?

When I connect an USB stick over OTG it will light up, when I press the power button. And it will light off when I hold the power button for 5 or more seconds to force turn the tablet off. It seems that the tablet do anything, but it does not really turn on.

Immediately, release power and press both vol- and vol+

3a. If you see yellow letters with DNX mode (or either) UPPER red T logo, disconnect the USB. You can restore to factory default with Intel software to flash android first and after install windows. Sorry, you lost all info, but work.
