Unfortunately it didn't work here. (and i have tried more than 10 times, strange)

Nope, you don't have to. All drivers are genuine and signed.

The OTG/Micro USB port won't work as a charging port.

Has anyone done this yet?

I will (hopefully) receive my x16 next week and I would want to resize the Android partition to 16 GB and Windows to 48 GB.

I am planning to resize the partitions with MiniTool Partition Wizard in Windows, however I wonder if anyone has done it successfully or if there are any alternative ways to do it?

I make an update of windows this week and now my windows doesn't run.

This week, I try to install windows 10 in french with utils of microsoft with USB but the tablet doesn't run on my USB and I can't install it.

I go to the setup with a keyboard and press clear touch, I change the Boot to my USB in first but It doesn't matter.

I would like to install a new windows 10. Who can give me, with details, the plan to do that?

PS: I'm french and my english is not good. Sorry
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
You need to create a bootable usb stick using Rufus. Google will help you.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
New Driver Pack is up. Changelog has been added too.
[Windows 8 General] tstones:
Thank you! I have two questions:

When trying to import the drivers on a X16 Pro via the doubledrivers application (driver package of today), not all of the drivers have been installed. Seems the Intel drivers are missing? How can i get them working?

And, how can you remove the bootloader? I wiped the eMMC according to your instructions and installed Windows 10 to the whole drive, but the bootloader still shows up when starting the device.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
1) If some drivers don't get updated it means that they are already updated. To be sure reboot your device and retry to restore the package. Remember to run dd.exe as Administrator.

2) You can't remove the bootloader. It is BIOS dependent.
[Windows 8 General] tstones:
I unextracted the contents of Teclast_CherryTrail_DriverPack_Win10x64_20160106.rar to a USB stick and transferred them to the tablet, to C:\dd. Afterwards, I installed the certificates as an admin first and then I ran the dd.exe as an admin. I went to restore, locate backup, and selected the 2_... folder containing the driver files. Then I made sure that all of the drivers' checkboxes are activated and proceeded. Finally, the Windows driver installation utility says that some drivers have been installed and some were not, mainly Intel drivers. When I go to the device manager, there are lots of missing drivers. When I manually try to install a driver to one of those entries (selecting the 2_... folder as a source destination), I will end up with a failed Intel driver installation, e.g.: Intel Serial IO GPIO Controller. The installer says that driver software has been found, but that the hash values in the catalogue file aren't present and that the file may be corrupted or changed illicitly.

I also did a reboot and tried the installation again, same errors. I also recopied the files to another USB drive to make sure that the files have been transferred properly... Same errors.

Thanks for your great support, maybe you can help me out with that one?
[Windows 8 General] EGM92:
Thank you for all the driver updates really helped solve a bunch of problems I was having with the touchscreen

after geekbuying refuse to sell

Telcast X98 PRO as the supplayer stop the producing

am looking for a powerfull tablet

can anybody tells me the main difference between

X98 pro and X16 PRO ??

which one is better ???

X16 needs an modded rom (mireks) like x98 to work ??

what about battery and responce ???
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Could you please provide me a list with all drivers that fail to install? Thank you.

It depends on your requirements. (Screen, Stylus Support, Size, etc...)

Battery lasts a lot on my X16 Power. I managed to reach nearly 7 hours with normal usage. (Windows)

With "Response" i don't understand what you mean.

Next time don't use multiple "?" while asking something. Thank you.
[Windows 8 General] phoenix10:
First of all

Sorry about multiple question marks...

As about the tablet imagine that my target was x98 pro but with mireks rom

I don't need and care about stylus..

I need the tablet for the following

HD movies

Android/win games

Windows office work (like documents etc)

And fast surfing.

I read some reviews, that users had serious problems with touch response

And screen under any angle

Its that true?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Touch Response isn't the best, but i'm pretty sure that it is BIOS related so we have just to wait an update from Teclast's labs. Sensitivity and precision are extremely good, probably perfect.

About screen viewing angles, they are absolutely fine. Brightness isn't extremely high compared to an Air 3G, but it is good enough for daily usage.

Considering your usage then the X16 Pro or X16 Power is the best alternative, probably better than the X98 Pro.

EDIT: Android is good enough without any mod but, due to a Kernel bug, the tablet won't sleep at all when the screen is off. Again, this is something that only Teclast can fix. Custom ROMs won't help you, due to missing sources.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Exactly.

[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
It is just soft-bricked, you need to wipe your eMMC and reinstall all, nothing special.

You'll find a mini-tutorial on my first post, but it removes also Android.

[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Keep pressing multiple times the DEL button (without killing it though) while on the TECLAST splash screen, you need to enter into BIOS in order to reset the Tablet.
[Windows 8 General] unamuno500:
I do not detect a keyboard or any USB. You can reset the bios?

Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 3 mediante Tapatalk
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
No you can't, you would need to re-flash the whole BIOS chip using an external programmer.

I can just tell you to try something. Open your Tablet, disconnect the Battery (be careful, cables are soldered), leave the Tablet without battery for 1 day more or less, then reconnect the battery and check if BIOS settings are still there.
[Windows 8 General] unamuno500:

I opened X16 Pro

Where is the bios chipset?

Using CH341A program?
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
This little chip with 8 pin.
[Windows 8 General] mkmkwong:
Thanks.

In the tutorial I need to disconnect the power first.

Which power cables should be disconnected?
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
You can desoldering the red wire (the big one, + from LiPo) to right in photo, but take care to not make a short-circuit.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I forgot to say you that i made a Thermal Mod to my X16 Power.

I have removed the CPU/RAM/eMMC Aluminium cover, insulated the whole motherboard using Kapton Tape (leaving only the CPU uncovered, RAM and eMMC don't need to be cooled-down), and then i have used 2x Thermal Pads (Arctic Thermal Pad 1.5 mm, 3 mm total then) in order to get maximum heat dissipation to the back cover.

Result?

CPU doesn't throttle anymore even on high-load, but it still reaches high temps. Why? Because the back cover isn't real aluminum, it has been 3D Printed. 3D Printed Aluminum isn't as good as Standard Aluminum (it is a sort of compound made with Nylon, if it isn't well-made it is rubbish), so this is why it won't be so helpful as regards heat dissipation.

I'll take some photos as soon as i open my tablet again :)

I'm now thinking to replace built-in speakers with other ones, i have 2x Harman-Kardon Laptop Slim speakers that i could use...
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
I made a V2 of my thermal mod, and like you I insulated the motherboard using Kapton Tape, and use copper piece and thermal compound, one under the RF shield and another one to back aluminum.

The back is "real" aluminum i just sand down to remove paint. -> first image

Now i can full burn (CPU Prime95 + GPU FurMark) and CPU never throttle and remain at 2.4 GHz on all cores and GPU at 600 MHz. -> second image

Now you see the CPU consume up to 11W plus the screen (100% brightness) and other component the battery controller report a consummation of about 28W in full load.

But the charge controller (bq24297) deliver only 4.25V@2.5A->10.625W to the battery and on heavy load (gaming) the battery drain faster than they charge...

PS: Sorry for crappy screen, i extracted from a video in 720p.
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
I take a look at the kernel of Android ROM and i found the internal name of the tablet. (Camellia-Power11-dev)

With some research on internet i found this baidu repo https://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJnAc5d.

In this repo i found a newer version of the android ROM with functional DeepSleep.

I use this file for my X16 Power -> 11_Camellia_Android>IMG>IMG-11'6>Power-1218>Camellia-Power11-dev-#9>DUAL_OS>cht_ffd-flashfiles-Power11-dev_20151218.zip

I use mirek190_flash_tool_x98_pro_v1.1 and place the file in rom folder.

This ROM have a different kernel (Linux localhost 3.14.37-x86_64-g0c7929c #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 18 13:36:22 CST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

For now the ROM seem to be stable but it's need more testing.

I think just the kernel (boot.img) is needed for use with the modded ROM made by Pedro on TECHTablets. (not tested)

UPDATE: add screenshot after long sleep, the deep sleep work and augment autonomy.

PS: Baidu is very slow in Europe, i made a mirror if someone want to test.

[MENTION=727665]zorlak[/MENTION] : so my friend was wrong, I'm not a Metal specialist unlike him, I didn't even know that 3D Printed Aluminum ever existed.

Thank you, I'll retry by removing the painting in order to get maximum access to the aluminum.
[Windows 8 General] nevermind3:
[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]

can you pleas make photos, from pads on cpu ?

and how much is the space to back-cover.
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
I'm not metal specialist, it's possible that is a 3D printed aluminum. Just the clearer square in the back cover is granular and very hard to sand down, for me it's not aluminum and that why you have bad thermal conductivity.
[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:
great news for x16 power user, but how to use with pedro's rom because i would like to test?
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
Extract pedro's rom file in "rom" folder of mirek190_flash_tool_x98_pro_v1.1 and replace boot.img with one come from archive i post.

And launch the "FLASHER_v1.1" for launch flash.

Make backup before testing.

I not tested this method yet but i think it would work.

PS: i post mirror link for Pro/Power ROM, but the Power is in rev 1218 and Pro in 1214.

Hi to all,

I'm working to make a functional android-x86 MM6 and 4.4.8 kernel work on my X16 PRO.

Currently, the tablet is booting, Wifi works like a charm, touchscreen also works when in debug mode (there is a race condition when loading the goodix module I didn't solve yet...)

What doesn't work so far : bluetooth and audio

I'm currently struggling to make bluetooth working. I succeeded loading firmware and put the hci0 UP using hciconfig in command line (DEBUG mode). This way, I can scan and see other devices. But bluetoothd service always crashes (segfault) and I don't understand why.

Any idea ?

PS: I also installed debian sid with kernel 4.5 and all work but audio (yes, bluetooth works flawlessly with debian!).
[Windows 8 General] fazer666:
Hi,

Does audio really work with Ubuntu?

I installed Debian and audio doesn't but I succeeded making Bluetooth work...
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
On Archlinux i made a custom kernel, i get working touchscreen (without debug), WiFi, Audio.

I not tested bluetooth yet.

For the audio it recognize by default (on Archlinux not tested Debian/Ubuntu) but you need to do some virtual cabling in ALSA to have sound on speakers/headphone (only left speaker work yet, headphone is good).

Actually i test Android deepsleep but next objective is to make linux perfect with stereo speakers and load the modified firmware for touchscreen at start with optimized responsiveness.

For audio on Linux it's use module "snd_soc_rt5640" and "snd_soc_rt5645" and for virtual cabling this help me alot http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2015-November/100552.html

[MENTION=7354867]sdevaux[/MENTION] yes i'm French
[Windows 8 General] fazer666:
Thanks for the pointers, I'll check that for sound.

Actually, touchscreen works without debug under Debian, but not under android-x86 (Marshmallow / kernel 4.4.x all compiled from source).
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
[MENTION=883236]zarloc[/MENTION] : are you able to reboot/shutdown the tablet properly with your custom kernel?
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
With an older version i have this behavior but with the 4.5.4 no problem for rebot/shutdown.

I can share my kernel config if you want.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I'll try with that Kernel version then. Thank you.
[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:
Great, maybe we will have a custom android rom with marshmallow without battery drainer on sleep mode and a better responsive touchscreen

[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:
Hi, the battery is still drained on sleep mode with the bootloder file with pedro's rom
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] For the kernel 4.5.4 I use the attached config with 5 patches in folder "patches_4.5" from hadess/rtl8723bs github.

Take care of CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS by default on Archlinux is config at 8 and cannot enumerate all partition on eMMC with Android because it's use 12 partitions plus 2 for my Linux, i have 14 partition on my eMMC.

If you leave at 8 you can see all 14 partitions in sfdisk/fdisk/parted, but the kernel map only up to /dev/mmcblk0p7 and you cannot have access to other partitions.

For Android the rom is stable but the deepsleep is not perfect sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad.

Tablet is difficult to wakeup after a long sleep (>5min).

In the screen Sleep 1 is a good deep sleep with only few wake (look line titled "En activité" sorry for french screen).

Sleep 2 is really bad, the tablet is nearly never in sleep mode.

It's need some more testing, in Sleep 2 Firefox is open and i already see Firefox causing battery drain with WAKE_LOCK on my phone.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I know that config. with the MMC block module. I have already worked a lot with linux kernels.

ASAP i'll try Arch Linux with your kernel version.
[Windows 8 General] zarloc:
I have PKGBUILD for my modded kernel and firmware for rtl8723bs, use it as base if you want.

I bought the teclast X16 pro two months ago and installed windows only.

Yesterday, putting in charge turn off. I lift the charger and try to torn-on but nothing. after 10 min to trial it turn-on. But the batteries was low and try to charge it, but will not turn on anymore. Do you know how to fix it?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
If you have an USB device with a LED, use it to see if the tablet is powered on or not.

Press the power button until the USB device turns off, then plug in the charger and wait until it (the tablet) turns on.

After installing a clear windows 10 pro, i'd like to come back initially but i can't manage to come back by a rest factory.

Moreover, i don't manage to enable DNX Fast boot in the BIOS because it desactivate itseft to "Disabled". Is it because i don't have Android to my partition ?

How must i do to have a factory reset ?
[Windows 8 General] styropian:
Do not panic !

Make sure you set up original configuration in BIOS.

Then try till you will enter DNX mode( I experience the same problem before )the trick is to hold your volume and power and releasing sooner (different time).

Hi,

is there still using someone linux on an X16 or trying to get a useful setup on a X16 ?

This is what I found out:

Ubuntu Live CD: booting to graphic installer

installed Ubuntu 16.04.1: kernel oops during boot in snd_soc_sst_cht_bsw_rt5645, hangs some debug lines later. Even if the sound module is blacklisted: unable to boot, maybe it hangs in systemd-udev.

Arch Linux 2016 09 03 unmodified kernel 4.7.2-1

booting to KDE pretty fast, no kernel oops, touchpad, touchscreen, display brightness, battery status working

This is not working:

1. The internal soundcard is _detected_ and many channels are displayed in alsamixer. However sound output does not work. [MENTION=5185012]fazer666[/MENTION] [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] [MENTION=883236]zarloc[/MENTION] did you manage to get sound output?

If I try to play a sound cat "/sys/kernel/debug/asoc/chtrt5645/Audio Port/state" says:

[Audio Port - Playback]
State: start
Hardware Params: Format = S24_LE, Channels = 2, Rate = 48000
Backends:

State: start
Hardware Params: Format = S24_LE, Channels = 2, Rate = 48000
...

2. internal wifi not listet in /sys/bus/sdio/ - looks as if this needs the cherrytrail patches

3. at the moment I'm using an usb wifi stick, however connection is lost eventually.

Maybe someone can help me with the audio problem. thx! I will post an update regarding the wifi card.

Hi ... have been reading through this thread in preparation for ditching Android (it's just not stable enough!). I was also looking for an adaptor to use with my quality 2.5A micro USB mains charger and came up with the following (Alberto96 post #428):

Micro USB female to 5.5mm DC male adaptor - link (this is for a 4 pack...)

then you just need a 5.5 to 2.5 DC adaptor... similar to: link

This any help?

Just wonder if adaptors can handle the current?

PS - sorry not allowed to post links but if needed I'm sure I can post info somehow!
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Do not mess with different plugs, it will just reduce the current. Get that cable from FastCardTech, i guarantee you that it works great if combined with a quality-charger. Some chargers are not able to handle 2.5A without reducing the voltage below 5.00v causing the tablet to stop charging.
