Access UEFI

Hello

Sorry for my English, it's google translate......

I managed to install windows 10 on the tablet. But I can't access UEFI to disable secure boot.

I want to boot from a usb key to install rapsbian desktop.

Can someone help me ? I tried a lot of methods but impossible to do it alone.

thanks a lot for your help

Sarah
[Windows RT General] alexenferman:
The sad truth is, you can't access the UEFI menu like on a PC or Surface Pro...

We would have loved to have a menu, but there is none, unlike some new ARM Windows laptops if I am not mistaking.

Disabling SecureBoot is done by downgrading to w8.0 or removing Jailbreak killing updates, and then turning on Test Mode.

If you have Windows 10, SecureBoot is "disabled" (actually only bypassed but still allows unsigned OSes to run), but running Linux on this is a bit more complicated, it requires the proper display drivers and device tree, and for some reason, Linux still does not boot, only Grub does.

Try this:

Make sure you run this from the desktop and not from your USB drive

If still unsuccessful, try this:

From that APPX1 folder, remove all of the files, and leave only the files called "microsoftdesktopappinstaller" and "appxbundle.ps1". Run appxbundle.ps1. Then unzip a "fresh" APPX1 folder, then run all of the files with ".appx" and "appxbundle", follow the steps on the screen to install each one.

Hi

I followed the steps, but at some point (in one of replies) it said that I had to delete EFI files the copy the new one to S drive, then restart, so I deleted old files, then restarted my tablet before copying the new ones, now my Surface RT shows ONLY the logo, and then turn off, I tried boot using recovery USB key (downloaded image from Microsoft) but after pressing volume-down key + power button, as I mentioned, the Surface logo appears for seconds then disappears.

Please help me I don't know what to do next, and how I can open my tablet, at least to install the recovery image and start again

thanks

Unable to activate my surface RT running Windows 10 RT enterprise trial

I've installed this on my surface RT and I love it so far! Unfortunately, I get an error upon activating saying "This kms server isn't available and to try a different one" or something like that. Also, How would I go back to rt 8.1 if I don't like windows 10 rt anymore?

Problems with drivers

I have successfully installed Windows 10 on surface 1, but the network drivers seem to be missing. actually all drivers seem to be missing. I can't use the internet. Some solution?
[Windows RT General] semaionetiberiu:
I've managed to install win10 on my surfaceRT1 in 2-3 tries. got errors, bootloops, crashes, even dead device, but finally managed after 3 days to finish.

Next thing i did, was i set the paging file, got rid of test mode, disabled a few features, installed some fixes and missing suff. hardest thing i ever done. like being to hell and back.

My personal opinion on results: 1) it's considerably slower than win rt 8.1 .... 2) both Edge and Iexplore11 are slow as hell .... 3) windows store does not install anything .... 4) youtube is not working. both edge and iexplore11 load a page with blank gray squares instead of video thumbnails. and then i get (application not responding due to failed script) it looks just like there was no flash installed or no video plugin. .... 5) some command lines in that appx1 and appxbundle gave me RED errors. not all of them, can't remember wich. however things seem almost normal. windows is activated, camera works, office is good

What i would really appreciate now: 1) making win10 a bit faster, ram seems enough but CPU keeps working hard. maybe some debloating? how to deactivate cortana and other junk features and processes? .... 2) how to actually load youtube videos ? neither edge nor iexplore11 will work on youtube page. they crash due to failed script. .... 3) the ARM store 2 link is broken. i want to install it but cannot manage to get a download link or mirror. .... 4) even with x86 emulator, i still can't run several .exe and get "cannot work on your pc". .... 5) also in power plan, i get only balanced mode. could really use "energy save" and "performance" modes. .... 6) does anyone have better surface 1 drivers for win10 ? i suspect Tegra3 is powerfull enough but doesn't run correctly.

Chinese Language Problem after installing patched Windows RT Image

I'm having an impossible time changing the display language from chinese to english. I'm not given an option to change teh display language from anything other than simple chinese. I have changed the entry language to english. but can't read anything. I've got a surface 2 windows 8.1. I've disabled the bitlocker and can't get past the language issue. Any help here? Thanks!

From looking at other threads and forums, it looks like a lot of us are having the "0x0000000f - A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" error on first reboot after Win10 dism. Anyone have any ideas on how to address?
[Windows RT General] alexenferman:
Yes! I have tried to show people the solution, but it seems like many people did not see it. The solution is: Re-apply the Windows 10 image again. It should boot. If not, try a reset (not a Wim apply!), and it should not ask you for a external device.
[Windows RT General] xnexus:
Thanks Alex, I've tried that solution. I've followed your instructions from scratch twice now. There's no difference after reapplying the image, still the same error. I've also tried a reset, and I get just a blue screen with " There was a problem resetting your PC". The one thing I've noticed is bootrec does not detect a valid Windows install, so I'm wondering if there is anything that we have missed in the steps. I know I'm not the only one with this issue. Thanks again for all your work on this.
[Windows RT General] sermayoral:
Hi Alex. Thanks for your work and your patience.

Same here. I have tried to install it yesterday with no success. What are we doing wrong? I will try to explain the process in order to help detecting the issue:

After cheking SecureBoot was disabled, I followed the part 4 of the manual. After applying Windows 10 image, in the first boot, i always get the 0xc000000f error:

https://ibb.co/sJ0bsXZ

If I press the Windows Key to try again, I get the 0xc0000428 error:

https://ibb.co/VYz0nyg

Note: In the "Help Section" image, the problematic file is \windows\system32\winload.exe. In my case the problematic file is \windows\system32\winload.efi

So I go to the Recovery Menu, but it is a bit different than the one described in https://www.alexenferman.com/articles/SurfaceRT/W10-OA-SurfaceRT/install-issues.html#w10notstarting

I select "Troubleshooting", then I select "Reset this PC". After that, the menu ask me to select an Operative System, with the only available option "Windows RT 8.1". After selecting it, the menu says that my personal files and apps will be deleted and my PC settings will be reset. I press "Next" and the menu show me two options: "Just remove my files" and "Clean all the unit". I select the first one and I get the blue screen that says "There was a problem resetting your PC".

I have re-apply the image (several times) and always, in the first boot, i get the 0xc000000f error. If i try to reset the system, i always get the "There was a problem resetting your PC". I don't know what else I can try.

I hope my experience could help.
[Windows RT General] alexenferman:
You guys are not doing anything wrong! It basically is a Bootloader/Operating system Label issue. So basically, even if you booted the Surface, it does not go to the desktop, and the operating system ID or label does not change, because Windows did not boot enough to change the ID, hence it still says [Windows 8.1]. The idea to reset the Surface if you get this error came from someone who had this problem, and resetting the OS did work for him, for some reason.

I have found the possible cause of this.

Source: https://www.windowstechit.com/18373/bootmgr-0xc0000428-error-fix-in-windows-10/

They say that bootrec /fixboot will fix it, however it will wipe the EFI partition and Secureboot patch, so don't try it.

For now, try rebooting the device, press the Windows key toy try again a few times. Try automatic repair as well, it should change the label to Windows 10, so you can at least reset it. I cannot diagnose the problem either, because I don't have a Surface RT with such a problem, so I cannot tell you exactly what to do. Maybe the best thing I can do is take a dump of my EFI partition, and you guys can copy it to yours and then it should work, but I am not sure. If you guys want me to give you my EFI files, ask me.

Try to also make a research, as I don't have much free time these days, sorry.
[Windows RT General] lrnbrad:
After applying script.cmd, surface rt won't turn on anymore :'(

Whatever I try to reset the device by USB stick, it just say insert your windows installation or recovery media to continue

The current situation is that I couldn't boot into system. I can only boot on USB stick, if I don't, it just a blink on surface(start up screen) about 3 second and turn off.
[Windows RT General] xnexus:
Thanks for your insight Alex. I don't mind trying your EFI partition, if you'd like to send it to me. If there are some things I could do to help diagnose, let me know as well.
[Windows RT General] sermayoral:
Thanks [MENTION=10365003]alexenferman[/MENTION].

Automatic repair doesn't work. Please, can you share a dump of your EFI partition? It could works :)
[Windows RT General] adamisback:
can i go back to windows 8.1 and why when im at trouble shoot cmd its saying please wait and it get stuck>>
[Windows RT General] alexenferman:
Here you go! Once you extract the archive, the ROOT of the EFI partition contains an EFI folder and the Secureboot certificate.

NOTE: I am not responsible for any damages.

NOTE: there was one file called BCD which I could not copy, so keep yours.

To mount EFI:

Mounvol s: /s

To make a backup of your EFI:

XCOPY /i /S S:\* d:\path\to\your\efidump\

Make sure to include the star, the parameters and everything. Only change the d:\path\to\your\efidump\ part

To copy this, use this CMD command:

XCOPY /i /S d:\path\to\your\efidump\* S:\

Make sure to include the star, the parameters and everything. Only change the d:\path\to\your\efidump\* part

It will ask you to replace files, select "yes to all"

BEFORE YOU REBOOT, TYPE:

S:

dir

-> You must see one folder called EFI and a secureboot certificate.

cd EFI

-> You must see two folders, one called Boot and one Microsoft.

cd Microsoft\Boot

-> You must see a lot of folders. Make sure you also can see a file called BCD!!!
[Windows RT General] xnexus:
Thanks Alex. Tried it. Didn't work, but at least it's different now :)

Instead of getting a blue screen error, the machine now just sits at the Surface screen. No spinning wheel appears, and eventually the machine just turns itself off. I tried a reset to see if it would do it not, no dice. Same error - "There was a problem resetting your PC". Open to suggestions from anyone on how to further diagnose. Thanks again
[Windows RT General] alexenferman:
That's another EFI issue. Did you check if there is a file called BCD in s:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot folder? That appears to create the issue.

Install Windows 10 for ARM32 on Lumia RT

Hi guys, can anyone help to install Windows 10 for ARM32 for Nokia Lumia 2520 RT tablet?:D
[Windows RT General] xnexus:
I did, and yes, there is. TImestamp of 8/25/2013.

Edit - ok, I think I've done something wrong here. Working on it.

2nd Edit - OK, for some reason, there were 3 directories in my EFI folder, Microsoft, Boot and another EFI which looked as if it was a copy. Just for ****s and giggles, I made sure the Microsoft and Boot directories were identical in the root and efi/efi folders. There were 2 different BCD files that I found though. I've now copied the newer one to \efi\microsoft\boot, and now, I get to a blank blue screen. It hangs there and eventually turns off. The other thing is that bootrec now sees a windows installation. Trying to reset gives another new error "Unable to Reset Your PC. A Required Drive Partition Is Missing". A quick look tells me that bootrec /fixmbr or /fixboot may correct this, but of course, we can't do that without wiping out the secureboot patch. Will try to play around a little more and see if I find anything else out, let me know if you've got something to try.
[Windows RT General] sermayoral:
[MENTION=2017725]xnexus[/MENTION] any progress?
[Windows RT General] xnexus:
I guess a little. I ran out of ideas, so I tried a bootrec /rebuildbcd, even at the risk of removing the SecureBoot patch. After that, when booting off the USB, the system correctly recognizes the OS as Windows 10 Insider Preview, as opposed to thinking it's still 8.1. However, it still won't boot, and the system reset won't work. So I think we've definitely isolated the issue to the BCD file, even if I can't quite figure out how to get this going yet. Possibly get a working BCD from someone? Seems like it might be an issue to copy (from Alex's previous post).
[Windows RT General] devinpatterson:
I'd like to see that too, since the 2520 seems about the same price on ebay but packs a snapdragon 800. The benchmarks I glanced at show it doubling or more the tegra x3 scores the original surface RT has.
[Windows RT General] sermayoral:
In the disqus forum someone post this:

"Hello friends, I was finally able to find the reason why windows 10 did not install on my surface 1 rt. The problem is that when you create the usb with the windows recovery remove the check from the first page of the wizard. and they do the whole process again from 0"

I'm not sure if this is our problem, but anyway I cant create the USB with the Windows Recovery because the Surface does not boot up.
[Windows RT General] sermayoral:
It works guys!! These are the steps i have follow (found in disqus):

"Hello how are you, what you have to do is the following:

First you have to restore windows 8. For that we must repeat the entire process of part 2. After starting windows 8, you have to re-create the USB with the recovery window and you have to avoid having the empty check of "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive. ", and then you follow all the parts from 1. Greetings"

Problem solved. Now i have Windows 10 installed on my Surface 1 RT :)

Surface RT Upgrade

Hi, so I am having some trouble here, the attachment seems to only have part of the files I need. I found another tutorial and used that.

Hi Guys,

i used my surface 2 for a long time and now i found this thread.

Is it worth to upgrade from win 8.1?

Hi at all, I just installed windows 10 RT on my "brand new" surface RT, I recently bought it as used. I'm facing those little issues:

- I can't install italian language pack, from control panel - region and languege it shows "checking for availability" since two days inside the italian options;

- I can't turn on windows defender due to error 0x800b0101 when I try to click on "Turn on windows defender" update and security settings

- At least but it'not really important I was trying to remove the text in the bottom right corner of the screen that reports

"Test mode

Windows RT Enterprise insider preview.."

Anyone else has managed and resolved those issues? Thanks a lot to all who will try to help
[Windows RT General] nicholaswallace:
So I have very carefully followed this tutorial 5 times or so: https://www.alexenferman.com/articles/SurfaceRT/W10-OA-SurfaceRT.html

I have verified that I made a usb recovery drive without the "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive" twice but I still get the 0xc0000428 error on the winload.efi file when trying to boot Windows 10 for the first time. The solution for this error listed in the tutorial of using the "Reset your PC" option does not work. It lists Windows RT 8.1 as the target operating system and also does not complete. It says "There was a problem resetting your PC" and fails.

If anyone is willing to help I would appreciate it. I can take it back to 8.1 using step 2 of the tutorial but I would really like to get some more life out of this device. Windows 8.1 won't work for me so it would just end up gathering dust followed by a trip to the dump.
[Windows RT General] ricky4695:
this error occurs if you skip those instructions BEFORE installing win 10 (with the dism /apply-image... command): inside diskpart you have to do

- sel dis 0

- sel par 4

- for quick fs = ntfs override
[Windows RT General] nicholaswallace:
Thanks for the reply. I did follow those instructions and formatted partition 4 on disk 0 as NTFS before applying the Windows 10 image.
[Windows RT General] ricky4695:
In this case I think some partitions on your surface are missed or damaged. I'll suggest you to follow the procedure that restores your surface with the official windows 8.1 image from microsoft's download center, then restart all the procedure again, following it without missing literally nothing. You can find the guide in the same site of alexferman
[Windows RT General] nicholaswallace:
Thanks for the help. I'll try that out.
[Windows RT General] ricky4695:
let me know if you need something, I'll try to help :)
[Windows RT General] ricky4695:
Guys I'm running win 10 rt insider preview as you can see on my surface rt. Which browser do you suggest to use that you think is the best in balancing performance and modern sites compatibility? I'm using operatic web browser, and it looks good and working quiete quickly, except on youtube: it tooks at least a minute or two to load the homepage with all the videos. Edge also is very laggy on youtube, only i.e. works well on youtube. Do you know any other web browser arm compatible?
[Windows RT General] nicholaswallace:
So now I no longer get a blue screen when booting W10 for the first time. Instead, I get an automatic repair that fails to work. It then gives me the option to restart or go to the recovery options menu. Restart just repeats the process and I have not tried anything else yet.
[Windows RT General] htchd7_tmob:
Fantastic. I got W10 on my Surface 2. Took a little of rigging. For those that are having issues trying to get windows activated ,add in the port so slmgr /skms kms.03k.org :1688

It's supposed to be default but in my case adding the port did the trick.

I have really only 2 issues.

Web browsing since IE11 is ancient and edge doesn't work. Solutions?

Everytime the system boots, I get a page file problem. I found lots of troubleshooting methods but none seem to work. Any ideas on either?
