[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryula:
firstly I do install TWRP according to your guide over there using fastboot tools

the one with this command

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

then it shows message like this

http://www.iforce.co.nz/View.aspx?i=ivkcgknl.fyl.png

I then restart my device normally and it boots into recovery mode, in which then I make backup by selecting all the option to my external card, and proceed to reboot after it's done

it returns me to TWRP once again, and I reboot using "reboot system", it shows sony logo and then black screen for a few minutes, and I got sent back to TWRP once more, I've tried "reboot bootloader" menu too and the same result, I've repeat this for a lot of times and still same result pops out

sorry to bother you this late night and have a nice sleep
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Oh i thought you were ready for flashing Stryflex!

Anyway the reason why it booted to the TWRP repeatedly is because of the reason that you flashed a recovery into the boot partition. Please re-read carefully the page that I linked you to ;)

Anyway to boot back to your stock ROM, get yourself a "boot" stock component from this page: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62447987&postcount=3

Flash it in the TWRP

sorry for the trouble.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryula:

thanks again for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] pwnurlife:
Happy Holidays to those who celebrate.

I have a AT&T Note 5 SM-N920W8 and I am looking for assistance in getting my device to connect as a COM PORT for use with QXDM, QPST, JDSU, ect. Also the GSM variant code for the IOT Hidden menu.

I have tried the CDMA/Verizon method of ##366633# for DM and ##433346# for IOT, but no luck. Any ideas XDA?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] pwnurlife:
Any Help?

XDA,

I would appreciate an answer on this. Yes/No. Any help is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
You aren't getting an answer because your question doesn't make sense. There is no AT&T device with a model of SM-N920W8.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] quordandis:
He's asking for the hidden menu dialer code that will work on the Note 5. I think the problem he's experiencing is that sometimes these hidden codes are carrier specific, but he's using an unofficial model of the phone on the ATT network. I would suggest he reach out directly to Samsung for the dialer code - you can even do so through their Samsung+ app :)

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

Have you tried:

*#0*# - Hardware Test Menu

*#*#4636#*#* - Phone Info/test Menu

*#9090# - Service Mode

I can confirm all those work and provide different functions on the SM-N920A on the AT&T Carrier network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] pwnurlife:
Thank you for the help. I was told it was an AT&T variant, after looking at the information I can see that it is not. I have tried those codes, but they are not the ones I am after. The IOT hidden menu is the one I have been searching for. The usual code I use for my samsung products is ##433346#, but I usually have to go into a PST tool to unlock the hidden menus first because most carriers lock these menus down unless you have a test device.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kent1146:
I recently upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow on my Moto X Pure (by flashing a rooted stock ROM).

I noticed that my external SD card (microSD) is now mounted in /storage/ABCD-123/. I want to use this external SD card as just dumb storage (for movies). The problem is that a lot of old apps from Android 5.1 and earlier expect to find the content

Is there any rhyme or reason why Android 6.0 now mounts it as /ABCD-123/? Any way to put some kind of friendly alias / pointer / link, so that I can reference it as /storage/extSD/ or a similar friendly name?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aftab_khatri:
same here..

now i am not able to save downloaded file to specific folder in SD card for Apps Like Uc browser or tubemate
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcdruck1117:
I'm hoping to figure this out, too. I just installed Mashmallow on my HTC One M8 and can't get the external sd to be writable either. I tried the old KitKat/Lollipop Xposed module fix but that didn't work. Looking for other solutions now without having to resort to 'format as internal'.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibichuba:
This might be a long shot but have you properly formatted the card with ext4 or NTFS (or your choice)?

[Windows 8 General] ariadnejro:
Thank you for creating this new thread.

I'm still waiting for my X16 Power to arrive, it's going to be my first dual boot device. Happy to see that the X98 Pro rooting method works and worried to hear that there is a wakelock issue that seems difficult to fix.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Android is easily customizable and partially pre-rooted. (adb runs already as root and you can push files to system without having to manually root the system). I had to uninstall it due to some reasons such as buggy Stylus recognition, annoying otg wakelock and disk space hungry.

With a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro the tablet works absolutely great without any issue, even better than how it was with the original Windows installation.
[Windows 8 General] ariadnejro:
Sorry to hear that you have uninstalled Android, I was hoping that you could provide info about its implementation on the X16. I really love Android and I think I can't live without it...

Now that you have made a clean installation of Windows 10, does the system still have the thermal throttling issues described in TechTablets.com?

Looking forward to learning interesting stuff from you.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I don't have enough time to support Android also on this device (as you can see, i'm already supporting other devices) so it was useless for me.

About the throttling issue, it seems that CPU doesn't throttle a lot now. Unfortunately on Windows (it should be Driver related) CPU gets throttled at just 85C, while on Android at 90C. That's what makes Windows a bit slower while running CPU/GPU Hungry software.

[Windows 8 General] ariadnejro:
Do you know how to enter the UEFI? Is a USB keyboard needed? I would like to be able to boot from a pendrive and backup the system with Clonezilla
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
You just need to press (multiple times is better) the DEL key as soon as the Tablet turns on. You can use the Keyboard Cover if you have one or a USB Keyboard to get into it.
[Windows 8 General] EGM92:
Hey thanks for this thread I picked up one of these tablets early on Dec. I was wondering if you know howhow, if all possible, to resize the windows / android partition ?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
It is possible but i have removed Android so i won't be able to help you for now.
[Windows 8 General] EGM92:
Thanks for the reply. If I could run an Android emulator to run the few apps I use I'd use the tablet exclusively with Win10. Do you have a guide on how to remove android and just windows 10?

Also have you experienced graphics drivers crashing on a fresh install of win10? I get it nearly every boot where when windows boots up to the desktop the screen goes black then after a couple of seconds it tells me the graphics drivers have recovered from a crash.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
How-To Remove Android:

- Prepare a bootable USB Stick using your preferred Windows 10 distribution. (Rufus works fine on UEFI systems)

- Boot from USB (you can use built-in Windows Settings to do so - UEFI Firmware Settings - or you can manually switch to the BIOS menu by pressing the DEL button immediately after you turn on the tablet)

- When you reach the "Install" screen do not proceed. Press SHIFT + F10. A command prompt window will be opened.

- Execute these commands "diskpart", "select disk 0", "clean", "exit".

- Close the command prompt window.

- Well Done! You have successfully wiped your eMMC :) You can now proceed the installation. You won't see any partition now and the installation process will create new windows partitions for you.

I'm experiencing some crashes too, but not on every boot. It happens so rarely that sometimes i forget about it. Current BIOS isn't completely stable, so we have to deal with it and wait for Teclast's "magic".
[Windows 8 General] EGM92:
Thanks for the help I'll try it this evening. About the firmware updates I only see the teclast app on the Android side, is there a Windows equivilant for updating the firmware?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Unfortunately no.
[Windows 8 General] EGM92:
Damn. This is my first Chinese tablet. Have you dealt with teclast much? Are they good at releasing fixes / updates or even kernel sources?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
This is my first Teclast (and Chinese) tablet too.
[Windows 8 General] toniq1:
Hi, how can windows clean install ? I have delete windows Partitions include the MSR Partition.

now i got an error after start install like wrong format ? it is possible to install windows new without delete android ?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
You can't. I have already tried.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
New driver package is up! Enjoy :)
[Windows 8 General] toniq1:
Thats wrong.

After i have delete all windows system ,Recovery partitons and the MSR.

then its possible to install windows 10 cleanly from USB Stick without a error.

but after that, the Tablet boot only in Windows.

I go into Bios, Change OS typ to Android, and voila, the dualbootask open.

it works great by me. :)
[Windows 8 General] maurolm:
step 2, after running the setup, goes unattended , when finished, teclast installer displays the msg those usb drivers were not installed

Stylus under Android

Hi eveybody,

I'm not sure it's the corect place to post this. If not, please excuse-me for that...

I bought the official Teclast (active) stylus with my X16 Pro tablet running stock (official Teclast) Android and W10 firmware. The stylus works very well under W10 but with Android, the behaviour is strange : with a drawing app for example, you can draw a line, but when you put the stylus up then down somewhere else on the tablet, a line is drawn from the point you left to the new location. So it's not really usable...

Does some of you notice this also ? Any chance this could work better with another android release (seems to have some problem with android stylus' driver) ? Some suggestion to correct this (I really need the stylus under Android because I mainly use the tablet running this OS for musical stuff).

Thanls for your help.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Android isn't compatible with Stylus yet, i have already reported this bug to Teclast.

Switch to Windows, Android isn't pretty useful as-is.
[Windows 8 General] fazer666:
Thanks for your response Alberto96. So no reason for me to investigate more on this subject :(

Well, I could switch to W10 but I can't find the corresponding android app I use for music under Windows...
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
Sorry, but i do not want do it. It will be clone my Product Code of Win10 a lot times. :(
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
It is the same for all devices. OEM serial key is universal. Don't worry. You can post it safely :)
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
I did`t knew it. Here is full flash 8mb readed from X16Power BIOS chip by SPI flasher. This file was verified by me on my briked tablet.

After flash bios you must wait about 1-5 minutes and then try to power on.

I hope this file will help someone to recover tablet after failed bios update.

p.s. sorry, me and my bear know english lanuage not so good as russian :)
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Thank you.

First post has been updated with proper BIOS Backup and proper update tool that won't brick your tablet. :)
[Windows 8 General] maurolm:
yes, in any case I disabled Driver Signature Verification, uninstalled microsoft USB drivers that were actuaally installed and manually installed the ones in your pack, but after reboot, micrsoft divers were back??!
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
That's pretty strange. Maybe USB Drivers Certificate doesn't get installed properly. Could you please retry to install the certificate?
[Windows 8 General] denut:
have you photos from how you open the device ?
[Windows 8 General] kstephens98:
I'm trying to duplicate your method and am having difficulties copying the persistent partition. GParted will not give me the option to copy it and it shows up as an unknown file system. Also, did you delete the all of the Windows partitions (including EFI?) prior to installing Windows? Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
Tablet opens like x98 by plastic card without any problems, you must start from usb3 slot place. I have no photos from how to open, but it easy.

[MENTION=7259338]Flintyk[/MENTION] : Do you have some high-res photos?
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
Thanks for the photos.

Do you see on the motherboard the charge controller?

I see it in i2c bus, but I'm not sure witch version it is, a BQ24297 or a BQ24192.

If we can confirm it's a BQ24192, he can tolerate 17V max in input, there where the BQ24297 only accept 6V max.

If we can supply 12V to the tablet, with only 1A we can charge at same rate than 5V@2.5A.

And the BQ24192 can supply 4.5A to the battery, where the BQ24297 only 3A.

This can upgrade charge rate from 4.25V@2.5A->10.625W (this is the actually charge rate of X16 (read from i2c bus)) to 4.25V@4A->17W (all tension and current here are from LiPo side of charge-controller not wall-charger)

And no, it's not dangerous for battery to charge at this current, even cheap LiPo can charge at 1C (1x capacity -> i.e. here 8A), with this configuration the charge current not exceed 1/2C.

PS: Official page of charge-controller www .ti.com/product/BQ24192 (remove space)
[Windows 8 General] styropian:
You have to copy and paste then change the name to exact name and also change the file system by right muse click on the line and change to exact extension if it's not automatically done.

Also if I remember you want be able to copy persistent you just create 1 mb partition renamed to persistent and use black dot.

If you do not see the "unknown" then look for black dot (every single file system has own dot color ) look for black dot and us it.

After reboot you will see that name will change automatically to unknown.

Send me your screen from gparted.
[Windows 8 General] pang2000:
Styropian,

Can you do a step by step guide (literally for noobs) how you changed the partitions and reinstalled things. That would be really helpful and much appreciated.

Thanks

[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
Sorry, but I do not have high-resolution pictures.
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
Thanks for information but bad news.
[Windows 8 General] styropian:
Complete guide is already here.

Please follow same post:

My advice is that you have to either keep both android and windows and delete last in the bottom partitions including windows and recovery or load only original android from telcast using Intel phone flash tool resize and load windows10 from the iso image link attached.

Do this:

1.Change design space for your android ( you going to chopp 20 gig in two)

2.Unallocated space created from 20 gig you going to use to create "android persistent" --(copy paste) and delete old one, (This is addition: if android_persistent want copy then follow: post #197) :

"You have to copy and paste then change the name to exact name and also change the file system by right muse click on the line and change to exact extension if it's not automatically done.

Also if I good remember you want be able to copy persistent you just create 1 mb partition renamed to persistent and use black dot.

If you do not see the "unknown" then look for black dot (every single file system has own dot color ) look for black dot and us it.

After reboot you will see that name will change automatically to unknown.

Send me your screen from gparted.

next you do the same with android config and android_factory(same time after creating (copy paste) delete old one.

3.Now delete the rest of partition and format as NTFC.

4.Download win 10 from Microsoft and create bootable usb. wccftech.com/download-windows-10-iso/

5.In boot option f7 choose usb and you ready to go.You have to choose the last large partition to be use for windows 10.

Do not worry about activation will by automatically done and you will have at the end fully functional windows.

5.Do not use original windows 10 from teclast you will get back to old partition configuration by doing that.

If I've help in any way, I would greatly appreciate a thanks.

How can I resize the android partition?
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
Flintyk you motivate me to disassemble my tab and boom

I made a thermal mod of my X16Power.

This is not as good as I thought, but i have a improvement.

Here the album with description and result: imgur.com/a/LI0kt

Actually the mod is made with old recovery thermal pad.

Later in the week, I will improve the mod with plate of copper at the right thickness and thermal paste like the famous Arctic Silver.

Edit:

I made a short video of how i open the tab, it's a bit dirty record but you see how i open it the first time. you need to do this step all around the tab.

youtu.be/dzpV_wN541c

PS: i will make another (better) video next time i open my tab, normally in 2 or 3 days.

a few issues

hi guys

just got the tablet and eager to unlock its full potential. installed the touchscreen patch and feeling the difference.

Now with the issues :

first about the supply unit I have found here in some shops some things called "stabilized supply unit 5v range from 2A to 6A and look like a laptop supply unit should i go for one of those? If the jack don't fit are there adapters or can i just cut/patch the cable from the original supply unit?

second I got a serious issue with updating windows to the new version 1511. it stops at 40% and does not go further. I have waited for about 4 hours.

third I have downloaded the drivers package but I don't know exactly how to install them and I am afraid not to f**k something up.

Thank you very much for the support
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
Socket on the bottom of tablet is just a simple USB. This is pinout of socket from the keyboard side:

You can check your keyboard by this method

1. Take 5 pins SIP socket, like this:

2. Take some unnecessary or bad USB cable and solder it to SIP socket. 4 and 5 pins GND, just solder them together.

3. Check all pins, put SIP socket on the pins of keyboard and then attach usb cable to PC.

If the keyboard is working, then PC must detect new keyboard and touchpad.

My PC detected tablet keyboard very well and it works.

So we can't flash your dump using AMI Firmware Update utility or Intel Flash Programming tool. We need a proper BIOS file, maybe it should be backupped with an AMI utility (like my first package) and then flashed with AMIEFI.
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
My flash file is proper and works well.

And all errors means "we can not flash full flash 8mb by official tools"

Although I read all posts in the forum, there are things that I have not understood very well Here are my main questions .

1- Is it possible to partition reduced the Android / Increase the Windows partition without losing the factory facilities and the dual boot ?

2- Were you able to install .Net Framework 3.5 on Windows factory ? I can not , I tested several options online and offline
