No dice on reinstalling the iSocUSB file from your OP. However, I do not have a custom_config.ini in that directory. I copied yours to it, but the log shows it's loading from another path:

Can you have a look at this initial log (above) and compare it to yours? Specifically the xfstk version?

Son of a b**** that was it... I never had a custom_config.ini. Self inflicted pain, as usual. It's flashing now. WHEW! Oh, and you're a hero again :)

Is there a comparison between this ROM and the so popular Mirek ROM? Besides the camera drivers thing, I would like to know, if the Mirek ROM just adds some relatively unimportant stuff (visuals, equalizer etc.) or if it fixes memory leaks that are not fixed in this ROM?

In other words sikke1's ROM seems to work fine for me and I appreciate it is not filled with non-essential stuff by the dev, but I wonder if there are any real problems in stock/sikke1 ROM that have been fixed in the Mirek ROM?

Where is this rom. I have not seen new rom from Teclast. There is no new rom in Teclast baidu accounts. There is only new dual-boot for new cherry trails. Maybe they mix that.

Teclast X98 could be considered final. I doubt Teclast will release updates for old end of line soc. You cant magically press more raw power from it. Its final for Android 5.0 rest is just govenor optimizations and memory management.

Only time will tell will there be code for Android 6. Still you cant get more speed from it. It is what it is.

Teclast is using their own TOS launcher. It updates. But not the Intel base Android below it. Its from july/2015.

This rom is nothing more than stock rom stripped naked from Teclast stuff +x89 gapps +GoogleNow

Teclast X98 Air III - Help guide to install an 'european' rom

Good afternoon.

I’ve received my new tablet Teclast X98 Air III (Android 5.0).

I change the language to Portuguese, but most of apps are in Chinese, and they are running automatically in backgroud and draining my battery.

Does anyone have a “manual” in English for this new Teclast X98 Air III to explore better this tablet?

Since it comes with many applications in Chinese , can you please help me about if I can uninstall them or replace them with applications in European language?

Thank you for your attention and sorry about my english.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Axxess:
If you flash this ROM there will be no Chinese bloatware and you can select your own language.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] Petepe10:
If you do not want to flash, you can remove chinese apps or switch them off (if they are system apps), just go to the app section of the settings menu. To fully remove system apps you need a rooted tablet, but really it makes little difference other than saving some space.

Before you do this, first install a new launcher from the app store. I use Nova Launcher.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] kayakxu:
Thanks for your response.

As you can see in the image attached, these are the apps that are always running. Another thing that quickly drains the battery is wifi. When i turn on wifi to check some emails (only for this), the battery goes from 83% to 12% in less than one hour !!

I always check if exists some firmware updates from TECLAST site, but nothing appears.

If there is any rom that works better and a guide that explains step by step how to install it please tell me . I'm not very familiar with these procedures.

Your flash memory has died. Flash chip fail seems to be possible with Teclast tabs.

You can edit out the partitioning part of the flash process .xml and see if it will format any partition. But it should fail there next.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] verbage:
Gosh, that's a real bummer!!! I will edit out the formatting part of script, and see if that makes any difference. But overall, if the flash has indeed gone bad, that really stinks. Of course, the tab is out of its warranty period, too, so that would make it complete loss. I would consider opening it, and try to find somebody skilled in SMD soldering to replace the silly flash chip. Ugggh, I don't know, just frustrating to confirm that this is probably a hardware error, and thus, there is no flashing fix.

Anyway, thanks, sikke1, for your input. I'll respond back here to let folks know how it goes.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

Ok, so, unfortunately, no go. Via fastboot on the command line, I tried manually erasing/formatting the partitions, flashing images directly, etc., but, of course, it all failed because there are no recognizable partitions since the flash has died. I guess I knew it wouldn't work, but was hoping for a miracle.

Some thoughts about not completely scrapping this thing.

1.) I guess opening it up, and doing some SMD work to replace the flash would always be an option, but I do not have a hot air rework station that would make this so much easier. Maybe it's time to invest in one? :) If I do that, I would replace the 32GB with 64GB while I'm at it...

2.) Maybe there is a solution to put an OS image on MicroSD, and force the machine to boot from that? Has anybody thought about such an option? By hooking up a keyboard, one could get into the BIOS, and perhaps indicate the boot drive.

I also have an interesting observation, and I do not know what provoked it, and have seen it only once. But during a boot, while still in text mode, a virtual keyboard (text-based, not graphical) appeared at the bottom of my Air III screen. I was not paying attention closely, and by the time I saw it, and went to look, it disappeared, and the machine continued booting. But I'm wondering if anybody knows how to get to this virtual keyboard to appear for those who do not have a MicroUSB OTG adapter to plug in a regular keyboard.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] sikke1:
Virtual keyboard is standard feature of Teclast bios. You may hit the ESC button in this keyboard to access bios settings. You need to learn the location of this keyboard and ESC on it and you will have 1-2 seconds timeframe hit the correct spot 3 times. 1 to activate keybaord, 2 to hit the esc key. It is possible to repeat it this by gently hittin exactly the right spot while booting. Your finger might be too big to hit correct position as the ESC button is quite small in this keyboard. And you only have second to hit it.

Virtual keyboard has nothing to do with OTG. It's feature of Teclast bios. with OTG cable hitting ESC from hardware keyboard you may access the bios too.

X98 Air III has dual-boot bios out there which has windows bios too and it's capable of booting 32bit OS from USB but thats pretty much useless.

Better give up with the unit it's dead or buy secondhand mainboard somewhere. You simply cannot randomly desolder the emmc chip and randomly choose another one for it. Or extended capacity. You need to have compatible chip with bios/drivers. I know how it is done so SMD soldering with proper machine is 5minutes job. But you need to have compatible chips.

Good luck. But give up and spend the time earning more $$ to buy new tablet.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] verbage:
Thanks, sikke1, for the info about the virtual keyboard. I have now hunted down details, and know how to activate it.

Regarding replacing the eMMC chip, no, I definitely would not solder in just any old random eMMC!!! Of course, I would look for something identical. I have not opened the Air III yet, but from this thread of another disassembled Air III, https://xdaforums.com/x98-air/help/teclast-x98-air-iii-32-gb-m5c5-t3300747, the eMMC seems to be a FORESEE NCEMBSF9-32G chip. When I was hunting around earlier, I saw this chip for just $3, but can't find the link anymore. Whatever the case, there are also 16GB, 64GB, and even 128GB capacity eMMCs in this exact same Foresee "NCEMBSF9" series (see http://www.foresee.cc/en/Business/index.asp?itemid=93). I bet by plopping in one of those eMMCs from the same series, the Air III would recognize it and be able to use it no problem.

Anyway, as I don't actually have a hot air rework station, I have no immediate plans to try to fix this, and yes, I'll just opt for a new tablet for my folks. But if I do run across the correct soldering equipment one day, I might give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point!

Thanks again for your comments, and thanks so much for taking the time to package up and share your debloated Air III ROM!

So i've flashed this firmware and am very please with it.

My Teclast X98 Air III (M5C5) had a dead battery; but since it was already meant to be a wall tablet, I removed the battery and it is now 24/7 on dc power. I've disabled all powersaving options, set "keep wifi on during sleep" and set the cpu min/max at maximum.

But when my screen turns off, wifi instanly becomes very unstable. Every other ping i see 800ms plus. This results in not, or very slowly picking up changes in my home automation system.

Common playstore wifi apps dont seem to work. Is there a way to turn off this wifi power saving?

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] knuppel:
Found this page and checked: /sys/module/8723bs/parameters/rtw_power_mgn

The number in here is 2, which means it's configured on maximum power saving.

Adding the .conf file does not work, probably because the Realtek driver is part of the kernel. Can someone help me change this setting and make Teclast wifi problems a thing of the past?

You need to setup flastool with custom_config.ini and change VID and PID values like in first post. Root is not needed.

Use MFT 6.0.51

Log says tablet didnt respond before timeout. Your MFT is too old or configured incorrectly or drivers are missing. Try again. You can see PID values from Intel windows drivers at windows device manager. Only while tablet is connected and dnx mode enabled.
