Hi everyone.

So i have made some big progress but the road has been quite long.

You can’t boot a USB Key that you created with Rufus or even the Windows software because of the Bios which is UEFI 32 bits for some reasons (that’s weird because we have a 64 bits proc and architecture). You need to put a file in the folder EFI/BOOT which is called bootia32.efi

Then, just go in your bios by pressing ESC at very startup and going in the last tab section and selecting your usb key in the section “boot override” (you can also change the boot order in the boot section).

My goal was to try Ubuntu Live. I could now get the grub menu and select “Try Ubuntu Live”. It seemed to load and then i got a black screen. From this point i tried all kinds of things in the bios until i made the BIGGEST mistake you could make on such devices. I DEACTIVATED the USB in the bios hence i couldn’t plug anything on the tablet or it would crash, i couldn’t reset the bios either because i couldn’t plug ANY keyboard as they are USB. The tablet was lost. I searched heavily on the web but this tablet is really recent so there’s not that much stuff on it on the web.

Long story short, after a lot of refection i downloaded the official rom from Needrom hoping that the bios would be in there and it was! I flashed it from the Windows and Voilà !!!

I decided to continue my researches to finally boot that usb key. I found a way to arrive at the login page of the Live Session!!

So i think that it will be soon possible to install Ubuntu (or any linux distrib) on this machine. After i try to login there an error and it goes back to the login screen so i think there are still a lot of things to do for it to work (wifi card doesn’t seem to be recognized for example, no touch screen etc…). I’m happy i managed to do it anyway and it opens doors for other ideas like Booting in “Remix OS” which is a desktop version of Android.

Let me know what you think about this, if it gives you ideas and if you want to help.

A bientôt.

Hi!

Use at your own risk. I’m not responsible for any damage this method may do to your tablet.

So the guide:

Charge full the tablet! Then you can leave it on the charger if you want! Dont turn it off when its flash the bios! Read the other topics about bios flashing!

First you need to decide if the serial number higher than 42151103000 than its okay<strong>. </strong>If its smaller then you need other files.

There is an other forum topic Chuwi H10 32to64bit upgrade v200 hardware. There is the first post is Przemo`s post about the files. Head over to the Google drive link and download the P02-C106_B101UAN_607_RealTek_wifi_20151224.zip file.

When you unzip it you will see some files and an other zip file. <strong>So now you will flash the bios!!! </strong>You have 2 options: unzip the P02-C106_B101UAN_607_RealTek_wifi_20151224.zip file and put it on a USB flash drive. When the tablet start booting you can press F7 to get the boot menu or go to the bios and set the boot order to boot from your flash drive. Then it will boot from it and it will flash the bios <strong>or</strong> if you can get the tablet to Windows then unzip the zip file inside the P02-C106_B101UAN_607_RealTek_wifi_20151224.zip file and run the flashing program. <strong>WARNING!!! I repeat that it will flash your bios! Dont turn it off when its flashing! 

After that may you need to set back the boot order to boot from Windows Boot Manager. Now, if everything is good, it will boot to windows.

If you screwd something then you may will have a new cutting board or may you can repair it. For more info read the ChuwiH10 32to64bit upgrade v200 hardware topic.

I hope that everybody can understand it.

Greetings from Hungary!

Avoid this company at all costs.

I bought an Onda oBook 11 from them, it arrived quickly but within a week developed some major problems –

Power adapter died

USB ports don’t always work.

32bit OS on 64bit hardware.

Internal WIFI stopped working.

 

I contact GeekBuying about these issues who offered me $25 if i took the laptop to a repair shop, this is when we found out that the power adapter was dead. the guy in the repair shop didn’t charge me anything.

Geekbuying then ask me to find another adapter on ebay, which i did although it took ages to find one with the correct voltage, and amps. the cost of the new adapter was $22. Geek buying said this was too much and they would only refund me $10 even though they said they would refund me $25 to have the laptop repaired in the fist place!!

this still wasn’t addressing the other issues which they ignored.

they then asked me to return the laptop to china even though I paid extra to be able to return the item to spain if there was a problem.

I will never use GeekBuying again.

looking in trustpilot there are alot of bad reviews for this company.

Hi!

I managed to get working Remix OS 2.0 on Hi10. I putted it to a USB 2.0 pendrive but It’s working okay, just you cannot ‘install’ it because it’s slow. You can use USB 3.0 drive but I doesn’t have one laying around now. You can only use guest mode and you need to connect a screen with HDMI and when you select guest mode you need to wait for around 5 to 10 minutes. After that you will see the Remix OS logo on the external screen. I have the V300 model and it’s seems that the Remix OS doesn’t support the Realtek wifi. I don’t remember if it’s support the touch screen or not.

I deleted the drivers and install again, but not working. There is a red x on the left side of the wifi sign. But the usb wifi dongle is good. What can I do more?

[Anonymous]

I opened the rar file and in the device manager click to every line to refresh the driver. And it become good. I can make a screenshot, tell me where can i find this version number you need.

So I need te reinstall the windows? What I have to do? Could you tell me step by step? I connected an USB wifi stick it is working.

I got v200 release with Win10 32bit (2 black USB and Broadcom as WiFi adapter). I’ve tried to upgrade to 64-bit release (BIOS and Win10) but WiFi is shown with yellow triangle.  I’ve re-install drivers from Win10 and BIOS for Chuwi Hi10 but… no luck.

[stéphane]

We first need a USB key that is formatted in FAT32, after just copy the files to the root of the key.
Please note there are 2 versions with the driver realtek wifi or not a check.
Then restart the tablet with a keyboard plugged in and press the F7 key and then select the USB key.
It takes about 2 minutes.

I am of the same opinion about the dual boot Jay. This tablet is perfect as a Windows 10 portable, low cost, desktop replacement.

The past stock Teclast roms have not been the best as far as bloat goes. The X98 pro dual boot bios and the problems average users have with the convoluted host drivers etc, more trouble than it’s worth IMHO. Simple Uefi windows bootloader = Less problems

I tried to boot that Remix 2.0 several times. No go…Reset. I have only seen one mention of it working on cherry trail, and that was here, on a X98 plus with a second monitor on the HDMI jack. I can believe that, as I noticed that the thing seemed to boot, but the native screen does not work. Any testers??

Edit: I gave the previous Usb drive (latest official uefi release) that seemed to install, a try. No bios changes….it flags one or two errors but it boots up on the HDMI jack. The tablet screen is completely black. No WiFi  for me. Seems fairly smooth with a 2.4 mouse/keyboard. WiFi usb adapter worked right away when plugged into the hub.

Hi, I got to run Linux Mint the other day, I could pass the black screen.

You need to chage the order boot in  te bios, you connect a keyboard and press del while you turn on the tablet. In the bios changes the boot order and put the first the usb. Download the iso, mount and copy the files to an USB stick, reboot with this USB and a keyboard connect. When the tablet starts, you can see a boot selection, you need to select safe mode, in the normal mode you’ll get a black screen. When you select safe mode you’ll see a lot of words, and you have to wait a long time to linux load. When linux finishes load, you’ll see a error, press enter until the error dissapear, then, you have linux, but in command line mode (whithout X). If you want to run X mode, you need to chage a littel configuration. Write in the console “sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf” and press enter, this will open a text editor and you need to find the line with the driver. In this line you have to change “vesa” by “intel”, press CTRL + O to save the changes and CTRL + X to exit. Now, only need to execute “sudo service mdm restart” and the X server will start.

EDIT: I forgot it, you need the 64 bits iso, and dont working nothing (touchscreen, wifi, sdcard…)

Sorry for my english, I’m spanish and I’m studing english now.

Thanks Diego, I hope to find a external wifi USB dongle that works with Android.

After trying to merge together the various partitions to make some space on my VI10/32gb and it crashed after applying the changes in EASEUS, afterwards windows 8.1 was no longer bootable. I didn’t panic and I grabbed a copy of Win8.1 pro (32 bit). It seemed to install fine from USB (the UEFI partition was spared) and it booted up after the install. I then grabbed double driver and the driver pack here on TechTablet for windows 8.1. I run it with administrator privileges and select the backup and it starts doing its thing. It gets to the first driver or so asking permission to install (unsigned I think it said) then after selecting install anyway it continues on. However now it sits on Please wait while the drivers install. This may take some time to complete…

Well it’s been on this screen for about 20 minutes now and hasn’t prompted me for anything. This is now my second time installing windows fresh and trying to use this driver pack (the first time after about 10 minutes I shut down and when I tried to bring it up windows wouldn’t boot).

Any ideas? Could it be the version of Windows 8.1 I put on? I see there is a 8.1 image on here should I try that? does that take out the hassle of the driver install afterwards?

I was thinking of just installing the wifi driver next time around and using Driver Solution to see if it could get everything up and going.

Hi! I just got my new X2 and wanted to do a clean installation. I only had a Windows 8.1 key available and wanted to update to windows 10 after the installation. Unfortunately the Wifi driver doesn’t seem to work under windows 8 and I can’t find any working driver online either. Any ideas where to get a working driver?

The Wifi is HORRIBLE on it, thought people were over exaggerating it :(……..Can’t wait till my Wifi usb comes in.

I have the version from vc lemon on aliexpress – Win 10 64 bit, with docking keyboard.

I have some minor issues with booting and turning off (described in this thread http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/startup-error-map-cannot-find-required-map-name/ ). Also, there is a small screen defect that looks a bit like an air bubble (and yes, I’m sure it’s not the screen protector, I took it off). Also would recommend to buy a better power adapter (has to be 2A or higher) – the original is not the best, and the EU adapter I got doesn’t fit at all.

But for this money I guess it’s a really nice device. I really appreciate the keyboard, it’s much better than generic usb ones, basically you get both a tablet and a fully functional netbook for the price. No problems with WiFi, bluetooth (tested with a Xiaomi portable speaker, works great), USB 3.0, micro HDMI (tested with a ECSee mini projector). Performance is okay, no problems with full hd video, of course it’s not a gaming computer, but for example Minecraft Win 10 Edition runs nice and smooth. Battery life is also good, about 6 hours of web browsing for me.

The sound quality was a bit poop at first, but then I learned about the equalizer thing so now it’s quite decent (although I still prefer using the forementioned Xiaomi speaker which is a great device itself and I would recommend it to anybody :)).

Overall, Hi10 has its flaws, but as of the 2 weeks I hve it I would say it’s perfectly fine for normal everyday use if you want a cheap, but feature rich tablet.

Teclast X98 Air III Intel Z3735F 1.83GHz 9.7″ Android 5.0 2Gb 32Gb posible DUAL BOOT

Hola, buenas.

Como siempre, espero os sirva este review de una Teclast Air III.

Aquí también tenéis una video review: VIDEO REVIEW TECLAST X98 AIR III (te pondré el link de nuevo al final de todo este texto para que no te olvides, je je)

Como sabéis, Teclast es una de las marcas de tablets chinas que saca habitualmente productos buenos y con gran calidad de acabado, y esta tablet la metería yo en dicho grupo.

NOTA: Estoy esperando que me llegue la funda con teclado oficial, con lo cual, podréis ver en breve una segunda review de la funda.

<h2>1. Especificaciones (comentadas)</h2>
CPU Intel Z3735F Quad Core 64-bit, 1.83GHz (CPU con menos “turbo” quela Z3736F pero suficiente para navegar, ver peliculas, ..)
GPU Intel HD Graphics Gen7
Android 5.0 —> En los foros ya hay un metodo para hacerla DUAL BOOT con WINDOWS 10 y que funciona a la perfeccción
RAM 2GB DDR3L
Almacenamiento 32GB eMMC
Pantalla 9.7″ IPS Retina
Resolución 2048 x 1536

Cámara delantera: 2 Mp
Cámara trasera: 5 Mp

Ya hablaremos, pero malas

WIFI Wi-Fi 802.11n/b/g
Bluetooth Support BT 4.0
Acelerometro

Puertos:
micro USB OTG
Micro HDMI
Micro SD
3.5mm para auriculares.

Bateria 8000mAh
Peso 550g
Medidas 242 x 175 x 8 mm

Paquete: tablet, cable usb, cable OTG, cargador y adaptador europeo para el cargador

GPS y 3G no

<h2>2. Aspecto Exterior, Construcción, Acabados, etc</h2>
Esta tablet tiene 9.7″ y un formato de 4:3 el cual es el mismo que el del iPad y que se le presupone mejor para leer y navegar por internet que el 16:9 que se adapta mejor para ver películas. En 4:3, como veras en la siguiente imagen, la pantalla no se aprovecha entera para las películas

El acabado es excelente y de buena calidad, tanto los materiales como la terminación que asemeja a metálica. Los botones tienen un acabado y taco muy bueno, parece que nunca van a fallar, no como en otras tablets chinas

Es BONITA, y eso hay muchas veces que hace una compra imprescindible. Sus laterales son más “cuadrados” que en la Teclast X98 Pro (más redondeados) pero la imagen global de la tablets es qeu estamos ante algo que vale el doble que los 130€ que cuesta si la traes desde China.

Puede rivalizar perfectamente con tablets de samsung, apple, etc…

La funda que compré a la vez (7 USD) le queda como un guante, aunque no sirve como soporte salvo en una única posición.

<h2>3. Conexiones externas y botones</h2>
La tablet cuenta con un conector micro usb que hace de puerto de carga y puerto micro usb que con el cable que se incluye en el paquete permite conectar un pendrive usb. Es USB 2.0. Lo malo es que no tiene ningún puerto USB de tamaño normal, y el hecho que el puerto OTG se comparte con el puerto de carga …. pues no es muy útil. No les hubiera costado mucho añadir otro.

Dispone de puerto para auriculares y otro puerto con salida Micro HDMI que funciona perfectamente.

A parte de éstas, dispone de botón de encendido y teclas de volumen.

Por supuesto, también trae una ranura para micro SD.

Las fotos de los conectores las habéis visto con anterioridad, aunque la de la tarjeta micro SD faltaba.

<h2>4. Conexiones inalámbricas</h2>
Tiene un wifi que va muy bien y bluetooth 4.0. Nada que decir o destacar en estos aspectos (cuando me llegue la funda teclado oficial por bluetooth podremos investigar más sobre si responde adecuadamente.

Si parece que hay algunos modelos que están dando fallos con el wifi, se cree que es un modelo de tarjeta wifi que salió defectuoso.
<h2>5. Software</h2>
Es una tablet que trae de serie solo ANDROID 5.0.

La verdad es que funciona bastante fluido y en ningún momento se me ha bloqueado la tablet ni he notado lags raros. La verdad es que el software y el hardware están bien coordinados, y eso con una CPU no es nada fácil en Android.

Eso si, espero que la actualicen a Android 5.1 que creo mejora bastante con respecto a la 5.0

Pero, BUENAS NOTICIAS, existen tutoriales para ponerle Windows 10 y DUAL BOOT a la tablet, con lo que tendríamos los dos sistemas operativos. Windows 10 puede ser para “trabajo” y Android para navegar, leer, jugar, etc..

Android trae un montón de aplicaciones chinas instaladas, pero en las imágenes que os muestro a continuación, veréis el listado de apps ANTES y DESPUÉS de desinstalarlas y que no he tenido ningún problema. No hace falta root ni nada de eso para desinstalarlas.

<h2>6. Pantalla</h2>
Como la X98 PRO trae un PANTALLÓN !!! Con el brillo al mínimo va muy bien y con él al máximo la verdad es que vas sobrado.

Es una pantalla con gran calidad y de 3 megapixeles. Si habría algo que destacar de esta tablet, es la pantalla y la calidad de acabo general.

Es IPS y RETINA, y el táctil funciona muy bien.
<h2>7. Audio y Camaras</h2>
El audio no es malo, pero tampoco es el mejor, cumple perfectamente con el cometido y para una tablet de estos precios ,quizás el volumen es algo bajo.

Las cámaras mejor no usarlas, son malas. Casi no valen ni para emergencias.

Aquí tenéis algunos ejemplos:

<h2>8. Bateria</h2>
Creo que con sus 8000 mAh y unas 6 horas de uso en Android si no te pasas con el brillo, está bien.

La CPU no es potente, precisamente, lo cual ayuda a que las batería haga durar al equipo y las temperaturas de la propio CPU se mantienen contenidas.

Tiene 2 Gb de ram, luego cumple bien salvo que instales algun juego muy pesado. Ojito con el Chrome que consume muchas RAM, no te pases con las pestañas abiertas. Repito que aquí el precio cuenta, si quieres 4Gb ve preparando más dinero.
<h2>9. Facilidad de uso, lags, etc.</h2>
Android 5.0, como ya he comentado se mueve muy bien y con agilidad, si ningún lag.

Yo creo que la ROM está muy bien integrada con el hardware

He probado a reproducir películas con bitrates de 55 Mb (equivalente a Full Hd) y 140 Mb, que viene a ser 4K, y en ningún caso la tablet se atragante, luego creo que la CPU es suficiente. (igual juegos con muchos render o 3D, se le atragantarán)

<h2>10. Antutu</h2>
A mi particularmente no me gustan este tipo de programas pues los fabricantes los conocen y cada vez más hacen CPUs que los detectan y “engañan” en cierto modo.

Antutu: 46.500
GFBench (supuestamente un test más adecuado para saber el comportamiento antes juegos):





<h2>11. Conclusiones</h2>
Me parece una tablet que en el entorno de los 130€ está muy bien.

Buen diseño, bonita, tamaño iPAD, muy buena pantalla, color blanco, …..
