Bricked? Help!!!! :'-(

I looked at the thread titles and this is the only one I saw that might be able to help. About a week ago, my x16 pro stopped taking a charge in both windows and android. I noticed that the charger would heat up really badly whenever I was charging, so I assumed that the charger burned out. Naturally, I went out and got a new charger from the local Micro Center. The amps were a little weak, but the voltage was right. I had read a few other articles where some people had used weaker chargers with success, so I figured, what the heck, give it a shot.

Plugged it in, no charge. Reversed polarity, no charge. Reduced the voltage from 5v to 3v..... black screen. Now the device will not power on or take a charge, and at the time, the battery was at about 49%. I was in android when this happened. Does anyone have any ideas, any clue, leads, links to articles, a tear down guide, a magical newt? I'll take anything at this point. lol.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows 8 General] wangiles:
Tried charging while off? Maybe can check if its charging slowly instead. Having it dissipating more than it charges might be it. If not are there any alternative charger around?
[Windows 8 General] nathanaelp:
I've tried all of the above without success. Different chargers and all. And I cannot make it power on at all. Not even for a second.

Hi,

I was fooling around with bios/uefi settings, I even don't remember which settings I have changed and now I get only a black screen after pressing power button. The tablet keeps restarting after every 5-6 seconds with a black screen so I cannot get back to bios in order to set defaults.

Do you know how deal with this in some way?

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] wangiles:
I have that before. Solution: reinstall windows then android.

Usb Boot Tutorial please

HELLO, i have same tablet, i want to remove android but i couldn,t ever manage booting from usb. my tabler does not recognise it. please can somebody show me a tutorial for dumb version ? o am trying for about 10 days, currently i can@t use my tablet i am waiting for a solution.

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] wangiles:
Remove android?same way. Just reinstall windows. Repartition when doing the installation to eliminate android storage ( or you could do it later). The option at the start will be there, maybe because of the bios, but set it default to windows then.
[Windows 8 General] Quayron:
i couldn't remove anything because i can't manage to boot into usb bootable stick.
[Windows 8 General] kstephens98:
Use a usb 3.0 stick, not usb 2.0.
[Windows 8 General] Quayron:
hmm i was using usb 2.0 . i will try it with usb 3.0 and let you know thank you.

Are you pressing the F8 key (it might be F2 or F12 I just can't remember) when booting to get to the bios so you can set the tablet to boot off of the usb?
[Windows 8 General] Quayron:
when i press "del" button when booting ,it take me to bios menu so i have setup about usb in bios already, it did not work.
[Windows 8 General] wrc123:
when i execute these commands "diskpart", "select disk 0", "clean", "exit". I think it cleans my usb stick and not the harddisk in the tablet. Can i use an other command to clean the partitions. Is it safe to delete all the partitions with the windows installer ????
[Windows 8 General] dezinerdude:
Hi guys, please please can someone help me. I have been struggling for 2 weeks trying to figure out why the touch screen's touch input is completely reversed on my Teclast.

- I have a made a clean Windows 10 64bit Pro install

- Tried all the drivers at the beginning of the thead

- Tried different TouchSetting.gt configurations

- Different Goodix Touchscreen drivers

- Installed all other drivers including the Kionix rotation driver

It seems that the TouchSetting.gt file is not being read by the driver. SendCFG is 1 and I also did try all combinations of X & Y flips in the config. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong. Please advise, I am completely lost now :)

[Windows 8 General] CrEdge:
I accidentally disabled the white dual-boot menu where I can select Android or Windows on startup... Now it just boots straight to the last OS I was on, and I don't know how to re-enable that menu.

I tried holding the Volume Up + Power buttons on cold boot, restoring a disk image, etc. But nothing works! Damn it, I didn't know pressing the top left options of the boot menu would do this...

Please help me recover that menu. Or a shortcut to boot to Android on Windows would suffice. Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] CrEdge:
Yes, I've finally found the solution! With SwitchNOW.exe, I can configure the boot menu within Windows and directly switch to Android.

You can download it from here (requires account): https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/boot-to-android-exe-please/#post-38299

[Windows 8 General] CrEdge:
Has anyone noticed that sometimes you get a black unresponsive screen after you unlock the device on Android? Then when you lock it with the power button, and try unlocking again, the issue persists until reboot? I've had problem for a while now, and it seems random.

Also, does anyone know how to make the physical Windows soft button work as a Home button in Android? It may help with the above issue, or at least be more useful than doing nothing.

Lastly, how do I reduce the amount of home screens on this device? I only really need 1, as this is a secondary device.
[Windows 8 General] paveltrufi:
Hello. Has anyone tried to install Ubuntu on this tablet? I'm interested to buy it, quit Android and Windows and put Ubuntu on it, so if anyone has tried it and it didn't give him/her any problem (this is important) please let me know it.
[Windows 8 General] CrEdge:
Seriously, nobody can bother to check their "About tablet" for me?

The black unresponsive screen seems to be caused by having TextNow installed, even if I disable its "Screen Lock" setting (put screen to sleep during calls).

I still want the Windows soft button to work in Android though. And less home screens would be nice.

*Nevermind, black screen happened again. And yeah, thanks for all the help guys!
[Windows 8 General] kstephens98:
That update is for the tbook, not the x16. AFAIK, they have never updated the x16.
[Windows 8 General] CrEdge:
Guess I'm in the wrong thread then... Failed to spot the difference.
[Windows 8 General] PabloSSJ:
Could anybody upload the drivers for the Tbook 16 Power (M5F8 version) ?

I guess the uploaded ones are for the M5F6.

Thank you!
[Windows 8 General] articsilverfox:
My MS Windows 10 install was getting a bit slow and dodgey so I tried installing Ubuntu 17.04.

It installed without a hitch, I used rufus USB stick creator to install the ISO https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1

But once installed the built in wifi and bluetooth didnt work. I tried a few times to load up chromium to test out sound via youtube but it would totally freeze/lockup before I could even try. (was using an external usb wifi device for internet)

I then decided to try the latest Android-x86 of 7.1-RC1, I downloaded the 64bit ISO and created the bootable USB just like I did with Ubuntu. (tip hit del/esc on the keyboard on first boot to get into the bios and chose the USB boot option in the menu.

http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-7-1-rc1

Well so far I have only used the "Live-USB" mode but and the Wifi and Bluetooth both work great. I plugged in a mouse and browsed some websites and it was incredibly fast. I was able to mouse wheel up and down long large web pages as fast as my main desktop PC and a lot faster than I ever could on the Teclast when using Windows 10.

The official X16 teclast keyboard/touch pad works really well as well. Infact the touch pad is smoother and nicer on this than I ever thought possible

Unfortunately, so far the sound doesn't appear to be working for me.
[Windows 8 General] articsilverfox:
Just an update on x86 Android.

I decided to try the X86 Android 6.0-r3 release and its not nearly as good as the 7.0, it seems to be unresponsive at times. 7.0 seems to be smoother and faster all around.

I tried installing 6.0-r3 and it never boots once installed on builtin storage.

Both of these releases don't seem to boot into the GUI when installed on the built-in storage, they only seem to work in "live-cd" mode.

When booting off built-in storage they just sit there for ever with the big "ANDROID' logo and nothing else.
[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:
Hi, did you tried android 7.0???? On teclast x16
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Take a look at this ROM, should include patches for the sound card too: https://xdaforums.com/android/software/x86-bliss-x86-pc-s-t3534657
[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:
Thanks a lot, i thought everybody left from this tablet,

Did you tried on x16 everythings worked???
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Nope, I'm still using it. The only issue I'm facing is with the power connector, not stable anymore after more than 1 year and 7 months of usage.
[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:

Anyone knows how to falsh android the latest Android-x86 of 7.1-RC1
[Windows 8 General] articsilverfox:
OK new update.

I tried this rom from Bliss-v7.2-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20170705-1012_k4.12-sp3_01.iso from the bleeding edge directory https://downloads.blissroms.com/Bliss/Official/x86/bleeding_edge/

And sound works! Loaded up youtube and got some sound..

Also checked memory and got the full 4GB ram back (well Android says 3.8GB specifically but what ever, much better than the 1GB being reported on the other rom.)

Last note. Don't underestimate the value of the information in the post above, well I would have loved to know what I discovered my self if someone else had said it. Particularly the corrupted MMC storage issue and just creating two or more partitions to avoid the worn out flash.

Update 1)

While youtube app works with sound it does appear to struggle with video. Using youtube inside Chrome web browser seems to be the best work around, I was able to watch 1080p videos on youtube with inside the Chrome browser.

Reliability of the Teclast touchpad seems to be in and out, never know if its going to work well or be kind of nuts. Wireless mouse seems to be the best solution for that.

I am now curious about trying Bliss-v7.2-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20170712-1941_k4.12-SP3_m17.2.0_01.iso

The main difference I am assuming is it includes "m17.2.0" but I have no idea exactly what that is.

Thanks again for telling me about these Roms Alberto96, this has injected new life into my Teclast X16. I never would have found out about them otherwise.
[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:
I tried to install bliss rom with rufus but after install tablet boot only on recovery??
[Windows 8 General] articsilverfox:
You can try the install instructions from Bliss, they are mostly around installing from with in ms windows https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70462761&postcount=2

If your stuck on the starting animated "Bliss" logo like I was when I was installing on a single large 60GB partition, then it sounds like you got the same problem I have, where some first couple of gb of the eMMC flash storage is corrupt in some way and causes any Android to fail to boot into full GUI.

You have to split your eMMC storage into 2 or 3 linux partitions and choose to install on the second or last partition, which is away from the corrupted initial eMMC storage area.

Basically when in the installer partition manager it says there were about 120,000,00 million sectors so I hit "n" to create the first one of 30million and the second of 40million and just hit enter both times to use the rest for the 3rd.

I then installed on mmcblk0p2 or mmcblk0p3.

Each one has about 20gb.

After I tried installing on the second and third partitions and they booted into GUI of the Android install just fine I new the last 2/3rd of the storage is fine.

If storage space is important to you you can just try 2 partitions and make the first one 15million sectors and let the other partition use the rest.

Maybe read this howto on how to create multiple partitions https://www.howtogeek.com/106873/how-to-use-fdisk-to-manage-partitions-on-linux/

Also shows how to create them in normal terminology instead of millions of sectors so you can create partitions in this order.

+10G

+50G

and then install on the mmcblk0p2 partition that has 50GB on it.

Hope that helps.
[Windows 8 General] articsilverfox:
With the last reported ROM I used the next day youtube in web chrome browser or youtube app stopped working. I just couldn't get any video up, tried rebooting etc nothing worked.

I then tried this rom https://downloads.blissroms.com/Bli...FICIAL-20170712-1941_k4.12-SP3_m17.2.0_01.iso

Which at least appears to have a very similar file name aside from a newer build date and "M17.2.0" in the file name.

But this ROM has been the very best for me yet. I just installed it and everything works including the Youtube App! not just youtube in Chrome.

With this rom install I partitioned my emmc storage into 2 partitions the first partition was +15G and the second was the rest of the space. I then installed this rom into the second partition.

I am now wondering if the last rom I used before failed to offer anyworking youtube after 24 hours of it being installed and initially at least working in Chrome and then not was due to some kind of on going emmc storage corruption. Maybe the whole emmc is slowly going bad. It might be the better roms but so far it seems the larger I make the first partition and then choose to install in the second less used/worn out partition area space the better things seem to work.

So far I am now considering this rom gold and as long as it stays like it is I will use this for ever.

One other note that I think helps performance with these Bliss roms is once it finishes the initial setup of Android the first boot up will ask you if you want to use the "Pixel C launcher" or the regular "Taskbar" (worded something like that) I highly recommend choosing the "Pixel C launcher" only and then choose "Always use" as it will ask you that right after.

This seems to be a faster interface all around and it seems if you don't choose it this way initially and want to go back it keeps both running at the same time which is just going to be more of a CPU burden and annoying.
[Windows 8 General] Palm Trees:
Interesting, any idea how to boot this on pure Android with no access to BIOS? Many tablets were shipped with the Atom chipset and AFAIK Android 7 wasn't supposed to be a possibility/never going to work 100% for this chipset due to Intel not stopping development for this particular chipset. But your reports seem to suggest otherwise.

Hello all! I bought the Tbook Power 16 a year or two ago and have only used it on trips with the bugs. Is this thread pertaining to that model as well? I've been somewhat confused. [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] i've downloaded all your files from the first page to update the drivers already on it, but im wondering if that will make it run smoother or if I should just re-install everything or just the windows OS. I'd personally like to keep Android OS for certain games and streaming apps. Is there an issue with the OTA update? Can it be updated past the standard i think 6.00 that came on it (or was it 5?)

I turned off driver verification by running "bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" and "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON" from cmd.exe as an administrator and rebooted the system. Afterwards, I was able to install some more drivers, but some Intel drivers still fail to install.

I also tried to uninstall the missing devices from device manager, rebooted the system and tried to install them via DD again - no success. When I try to update the drivers for the devices missing their drivers from device manager manually by defining the DD drivers directory as a source, Windows will try to install the appropriate driver but finally fails stating that the "driver is not intended for this platform" (my own translation...). The following devices fail to have their drivers installed:

* Intel(R) Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Processor Participant Driver

* Intel(R) Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Generic Participant Driver (two devices)

* Intel(R) Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Power Participant Driver

* Intel(R) Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Ambient Participant Driver

* Intel(R) Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Driver

* Intel(R) Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Display Participant Driver
