Yeah, doing the thing with the battery wires did not work for me as well.

If you want to charge your tablet only once, you can use this trick I used:

Open up the tablet

Find the BIOS-chip

Remove the metal heat sink around the chip (it comes off easy)

Now unsolder pin 1. Heat the pin until the solder melts and then push the pin loose with a very small screwdriver

Now charge the tablet. The battery will probably get warm (not hot), and so might some of the chips. The heat will get less when the tablet has been charging for a couple of hours

Solder pin 1 back again

This is the location of the BIOS chip. It is the chip at the bottom of the picture below.

[IMG="location of the Bios chip"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60718505/XDA-images/location-of-bios-chip.jpg[/IMG]

In the picture below the heat sink has been removed. Pin 1 is indicated with a grey dot on the bottom right corner of the BIOS chip.

Another solution, if your tablet does not charge at all when powered on. I did manage to get my tablet charging again with a custom USB cable. This is the video from 1KeNnY1KeNnY1 descibing the solution:

[YOUTUBE]1i7h64CXbu0[/YOUTUBE]

I bought these USB connectors from China on eBay (adafruit sells one too) and these resitors also from eBay. If you need the components fast I'm sure you can find them in a local electronics shop.

You will also need a very stable hand and a lot of patience to solder the USB connector. Make sure you get a few of them because you will probably ruin the first one. :)

Then:

Find a USB cable that charges with a decent charge. Make sure the wire is not too thick for the new USB connector.

Cut off the mico-usb connector and strip the wires

Solder the red wire to pin 1, and the black wire to pin 5

Solder the 2.2 kOhm resistor between pin 1 and pin 4

Do not connect the green and the white wire. If you do, Windows will think you connected a malfunctioning device when you use the custom cable.

Here's an image showing which colour goes where.

And this image shows you all the pin numbers:

Wow! Great tutorial, man. Thanks a lot!! Wish more people have your kind spirit and help others with less knowledge.

If I understood it right, first option gives me one full charge but I will have to open tablet again when battery is empty, and the bootloop error isn't gone. The second will let me charge it normally but only using the new modified cable and the anoying error is gone forever... Is that right?

I will try these methods asap this week and reply to you.

Many thanks!

Have a nice day.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] .oOOo.:
You can still charge the tablet when it is off, and it won't charge when the tablet is on, right? I've searched through your posts but gave up after a couple of them. So I'm not really sure if your problem is exactly the same as mine. Could you copy-paste your initial problem report here in this thread?

I'm using Windows on my Teclast x98 so I used to hibernate my tablet automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity. When the tablet is off, it will start charging. And because the power off was triggered in Windows, the tablet will not boot automatically when the charging starts.

If you use Android, you're out of luck. You will have to boot into Windows and then shutdown the tablet from there to get it to charge. That's a major hassle. And if you forget it once and Android keeps running until the battery is too low, you will end up with the same problem you have now.

The custom cable is the best solution if your tablet does not charge when powered on. Other solutions will kill you tablet pretty fast. Doing too many hibernations will ruin the SSD. Desoldering the BIOS chip will also fail after 10 times or so. In both cases the tablet is ruined.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rafabrasil85:
Thanks again for your help!!

No, I can't charge because when I plug it to energy, this bootloop starts and battery seems not to charge at all! When it enters in this bootloop state, pressing the power button does nothing. Pressing it for 10 seconds does nothing. Pressing power plus volume does nothing too. When I unpplug tablet from power, I get no response from it, just a black screen.

Before this happens, charging was working ok, I could charge it from both OS and didn't matter if it was on or completely shutted down. One day I was using it (don't remember in which system) and battery started to deplete itself from nowhere, so I plugged the original charger with original cable, as always. But they stopped working, battery discharged and then it was gone...

Ok, thanks for your patience and all information. I will try modding the cable, then I post here the results.

Have a nice day.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] .oOOo.:
That sounds a lot like my problem.

I do not think the custom cable will get you out of this situation. My cable doesn't provide a lot of power (about 0.6A or 3W). When I use the tablet with the cable connected, the battery still drains slowly. So the cable does not provide enough power for the tablet to run. Booting the tablet uses even more power.

I think you will have to jump start your tablet and charge the battery once like I did. After that you can use the cable to prevent the tablet from losing all its power again. This works for me in Windows where I can put the tablet to sleep. During sleep it will charge slowly. I haven't tried Android yet. I will do some tests in the next couple of days.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rafabrasil85:
Nice! I'm waiting for your tests then. By the way, what do you mean with jump start?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] .oOOo.:
I've done some tests today:

If the tablet boots it uses more power and the battery discharges, even with the custom USB cable connected

Charging under Android is very slow (approximately 10% / hour) if you are just browsing some websites. If you run a game or set the brightness of the screen higher I'm sure the battery will discharge

It is possible to power off the tablet from Android with the custom USB cable connected

The tablet needs more power then the USB cable supplies while booting. So you will not be able to revive your dead tablet with the USB cable alone. You will need to do the trick with desoldering pin 1 of the BIOS chip. I called that "jump start" in my previous post, but the comparison to jump starting a car is totally not obvious or correct. :)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rafabrasil85:
Now I got it! Lol

What a pain to have bought this tablet. I thought it was a great choice, but one year later I'm dealing with BIOS and battery wires and modded USB cables.

Thanks for all the good info. You are great!

X98 Saga

Friend,

Sorry for the long delay, but I had other problems with this tablet (the flex power cable broke) and for a long moment I gave up using it.

So here is the situation: I've fixed the charger and the other problems, and now I can turn it on but there are no OS anymore, it goes directly to a shell. I can access the UEFI settings and tried installing Windows via pen drive, but when it gets to the screen which allows me to choose the drive to install, it is empty. System is not recognizing eMMC anymore... Do you have any hint on this?

I think it's been a year or more since I use this device for the las time, and it will be great to get it back working.

Thanks for your time again! =)
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] sunshine76:
hi, can I ask how did you solve your charging problem?. I have similar situation like yours, my tablet wouldn't hold the charge and it boot loops to shell prompt when connected to power source. I was not able to do the windows installation because once I remove from the power source, the tablet wouldn't bootup.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] rafabrasil85:
First you build a custom charging cable with the instructions on this thread. Then you connect a UEFI Windows installation (prepared by Rufus) via pen drive. Make sure you have a HUB to also connect mouse and keyboard. In all my trials so far I ended only being able to boot RemixOS and ChromeOS via live boot with pen drives, but they miss touch input and some drivers. I'm still trying to reinstall Android directly to eMMC, but I don't have much hope left that it will work... I guess this memory is gone with this error.

[General Questions and Answers] sadsadsadsa:
I just found this thread. I know vodafone got out of its relationship with google play in many countries like UK, Germany. If I try this will it work? and if it still does work, will it work for any carrier?

From a thread back in 2012 and it goes as follows:

Buy apps and games from Play store using sim cards credit is now possible with Vodafone and vodafone branded phones, but with a little changing in /system/build.prop is possible to everyone who has vodafone sim

[ROOT NEEDED]

install a root explorer, go to system (you must have system in r/w mode),

open build.prop with text editor,

find ro.com.google.clientidbase=XXXXX where instead of XXXXX you should have android-htc, or android-google or something like this, and you must change it in

android-vf-XX

where XX stays for "it" if you use vodafone italy, "de" if you're in germany, "uk" if you're in uk and so on,

then clear cache and data of play store and Google Services Framework, and then reboot the phone, it should work, only with 3g, not wifi

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikjonno:
Hello I am hoping someone can help me out, just recently my S5 developed a couple of faults. First it shut down on its own and would not get past the Samsung logo, while booting back up it would keep shutting down and restarting again. I put the phone in recovery mode, cleared the cache and did a full reset, this did not fix the problem. I then replaced the battery and things got a little better, the phone booted up and I thought it was fixed. The next day however, the screen started to jump especially whilst typing. This gradually got worse throughout day and the phone is pretty much unusable now. Also after the phone has been in standby, it will not wake up when I press the power button, and only the menu lights will light up, the only way to get it back on is to pull the battery out. The phone has stock firmware and I have tried to take some photos of the problem.

TIA
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3sse32:
Hello, guys!

First of all, I am new here and I am not as good as most of you Devs are, so please bear with a beginner here.

I am looking for a way to downgrade my Sony Xperia Z3 D6653 from Android Lollipop 5.1.1 build number 23.4.A.1.232, to Android KitKat 4.4.4. I have no clue whatsoever on what to do. So, if any of you Devs please help me.

I also have another concern. I don't know whether this is from my update on 5.1.1 or after I dropped my phone when I was on the toilet. ( Don't ask why I did :D ) Anyway, my concern is that whenever my phone boots up, or whenever I use a dark wallpaper, or simply any dark color, there's a small purple and a little smudge of pink on the upper left of my unit. It looks like the design brand of Nike to be honest. On light colors, especially white, there are no signs of the said color. Only on dark and boot up. For example, when you're opening a YouTube video and the video is still black due to buffering, you can see the purple or pink smudge, Nike like design color. It's really irritating as I am a huge fan of dark colors. It is quite noticeable whenever I set the brightness to maximum. On 50% to lowest, it it not. But since I'm quite the meticulous person, I can see it pretty well especially on low light. How do I fix this? I've searched on common defects on Sony handsets such as dead pixels. And mine is different to a dead pixel. I also searched photos of devices that were dropped and there were colors such as blue, purple, pink, etc that form a huge line. But the difference between mine and theirs is that mine is only visible on dark colors. On light, none. Theirs, may it be light or dark, it is prominent. My friend also told me about this that IT COULD BE because of the update as to why it only appears on dark colors. And just to remind you, my floor was wet and my phone fell face down on the rubber matting of the floor. Could it be that the motherboard was affected of the impact that it produced such colors on dark colors? I have no clue. Just theories that I mentioned based on my researches. I LOVE THIS PHONE and I plan to repair it in any way possible ( except for opening it ). So, please, if any kindhearted Devs out there who are willing to help me. I WILL BE MOST GRATEFUL. I do not have money yet to upgrade to the new Xperia Z5. And even if I do have it, I'd love to keep my Z3. Pls do help. I can't send you a picture of my concern, but if it helps, imagine a black color and there's a small Nike Logo colored in purple and pink on the upper left corner.

There is two different types of Rom's and kernels. There is those that are based on AOSP and those who are based on CAF.

You can't mix different types of Rom's and kernels. So to you can't use a AOSP kernel on a CAF Rom and vice verca.

CM is a CAF based Rom and Franco kernel is an AOSP based kernel. So you can't use those together.

It works - JETware Mobile Software

Upon suggestion from 'Diaftia' in this thread (THANK YOU!) I downloaded Hands-free Extension from JETware and installed it on my HTC TyTN. I then sat in my car and through the phonebook 'send' mode of the applet, I chose to send all 354 contact records to my car's phonebook via the bluetooth pairing. The car immediate showed 'downloading' at the appropriate time and viola! They were there.

I need to play with it some more to see if I can get more than the first phone number field to download. The Hands-free Extension app does allow you to pick only certain categorized phone records to be sent.

I've since purchased the utility and will explore more of its features! So far, so great! I've been looking for this solution for quite sometime!

In the Extension software from the menu, go to phonebook options. In phonebook options select the categories that you wish to send to the phone. Press the 'menu' soft key option again. You will see 5 options, of which 'send contacts' is one of them. You will then get another set of options and finally a confirmation before it sends the records. Make sure your car or receiving device is set to receive before you finalize the send process.
