Android Stuck on Intel Inside Logo after format cache

[Daniel]

Thanks Valerima

I like the way you say things

I´ll follow your indications.
I´ll wait some more time, and probably, if we don´t find something stable about android, I´ll test any of these emulators, and if they works fine for me at W10, probably I´ll do the partitions and erase Android leaving the option to recover space again and reinstall

THANKS!

Daniel

 

P.S.: For the rest of the group….I´m not giving up! I´m still looking for! Let´s go for that Android side! hahaha

Don’t know if, but maybe twrp recovery might help

Dear Daniel,

If you still can load Windows, try to live with and wait. We are wiser after every day of trying. After one month even more…

So solution should come.We have a difference in tablets- mine is k9c3- which came originally with entirely chinese windows- now it is English, but I am waiting for battery solution and then will update bios.

Yours situation is different – K9c6 had both OS and bios done correspondingly for load of both systems. I would keep direction to have both systems and restore Android.

message about TWRP – from Deni Vasabe

It’s a port of the Asus zenphone 2 and it’s working in my K9C6 model (not sure to work in the other model). If Teclast released the source, everything would be easier. But it’s not the case….

Anyway, the way of booting it is using the command fastboot and if you are using windows, I’m assuming that you have installed the intel drivers of the flashing tools, if not in this web you can find the files and intructions to install them. I use Linux and in this case is easier because you don’t have to install any driver:

Procedure:

1- Open a administrator terminal and go t the flash utility directory

2- Copy the contents of the zip file in this direcory

3- Boot into DNX fastboot mode. You have to turn on the tablet pushing Vol + and – and the power button at the same time

4- Connect the usb cable to PC.

 

5- In the terminal run:
fastboot boot loader.efi

6- Wait for the android fastboot screen and run:
fastboot boot TWRP-2.8.7.0_teclast_x98pro-b1.img

And voilà…..
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B67Q-LsaF0w0WmxPZ0YxTl9PTWc/view?usp=sharing
As I said before, once you reboot the tablet everything will come back to normal (with old and unuseful recovery).
Note: Use with your OWN Responsibility

Thanks Valerima

I think I´ll do that. Try to live with it, and wait for a solution. And then…intall the right Android. It is not good to eliminate a good option havind the dual bood mode…I´ll be patient! hahaha

I really appreciate the time you dedicate to help me and us

Thanks

[Daniel]

As always with your links and comments…we have another option!
But still sounds too tricky for me

I´ve been reading and…not safe and stable

I think I won´t try….

Keep on looking for. Today is rainy…so..hours in front of the computer! LETS GO!

There is an easy way to bring up your android again in combination with valerima´s post above. It took me 10 minutes when my K9C6 was stuck at the intel logo. You need the zip-file from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUOEKnPRz9geTNIcDRPOFBzdVE/view?usp=sharing

Extract this zip anywhere. You need two files out of it: boot.img and system.img.

But first you have to know how to set fastboot right on your operating system. Aunt google is your friend. The easiest way is to copy the two files in the same directory where your fastboot-app resides (exe in Windows, I´m a Mac-user, I can´t help you any further in this way).

Once you made this you can go to point 3 of valerima. You only need power button and Vol- to get in dnx fastboot mode. It´s shown in small yellow letters above that chinese symbols.

Connect your tablet via usb with your computer. Type in: fastboot devices .You should get back a response name in the next row if your tablet is recognized.

Then go to point 5 of valerima and type this in after you downloaded the loader.efi and copied it to your directory. The tablet should boot now into android bootloader. Type again: fastboot devices .You should get a different name responded as in dnx fastboot. If that´s the case you´re on the right path.

Then type: fastboot flash boot boot.img (or the path where the file is)

Next type: fastboot flash system system.img (see above)   This will take a few minutes as it´s a large file, so stay calm.

Once it has finished type: fastboot reboot    and you´re done.

In dual boot menu choose android and give it some time, it took a few minutes to pass the intel logo here. But your android will rise again. If not you´re having a corrupted starting app probably. You can then choose point 6 of valerima and start twrp (it works very well on K9C6) and do a backup of your data to an external sd card with the included file manager. After that wipe your data section or reformat it to ext4 (this deletes all your personnel files!!!). You can restore your data later for example with a file manager. Nothing will get lost if you do it the right way, but as you always know, be careful as you can brick your android partition. It´s all on your own risk, so don´t blame me for mistakes you eventually make.

Hope that helps anyone.

[Daniel]

Thanks Valerima for keep on helping

Thanks Dani Vasabe for the original post at XDA

Thanks G.Llark for the remake and possible an easier solution!

I´ve been all the weekend out of the system, and I´ve just read these posts.

SOUNDS INTERESTING!! And….a possible final solution

But honestly…I don´t know what to do at any single step. When you talk about a port, I don´t know what port are you talking about. When you talk about TWRP…I have ever seen those letters together! (haha) when you say type in…where? Tablet? Computer? how? (hahaha) I feel like a baby, and I´m varely learning all these process….so…give me sometime, but some advices too

I´vee been looking for help on internet, and always happens the same, everybody talk about these 3 main doubts like if it was my breakfast…so..I don´t know even how to start.

If you could explain these 3 details, and with the research I´m going to do today…I´ll try this afternoon

Sorry for being such a disaster, but I insisct. THANK YOU AGAIN.

 

Now, Specifically about @G. Llark optional way:

1.- I know how to extract 2 files out in the same place

2.- I know how to SET fastboot on my tablet…

3.- …but…what mean “copy the 2 files in the same directory where the fastboot app resides? into my tablet directory? which directory? how? (my computer doesn´t recognice the tablet if it is not under windows or under android…I DONT UNDERSTAND CLEARLY THIS STEP…thanks

4.- If then I have to go to point 3 of Valerima….to connect my  tablet via USB…it was not connected before?

5.-  The response line in the next row about my tablet being recognized…where? Android? Windows? my tablet? my computer?

6.- …and so on again and again each time I have to type in something…

 

So sorry for so many questions, but is just to give you an idea about how lost I am.

 

The main thing is…this option you give us @G. Llark…is…total reinstall of Android?

PLEASE, VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW…something would happen to the Windows side? Any change or reinstall? I don´t want it to get affected…

And Finally…this option is much much heavier than the TWRP…isn´t it? 700mb? what is it? The TWRP is like recover where I was? and this one is reinstall?…..THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE and HELP in ADVANCE

Hi G. Llark and Valerima

Please, when you read my next post, don´t you think please, that I´m asking for a personal TWRP tutoring class! It is only that all these questions come to me…and maybe you could help me with some details you consider too obvious, but are not for people like me.

That´s all

 

I´m reading several guides to stay up to date…but even so, any help, would be very welcomed

 

Thanks in advance

Hello Daniel,

you have two partitions on your tablets harddisk, one for Windows and one for Android. If you follow my instructions you don´t touch the Windows-partition, so nothing can get harmed there.

TWRP stands for Team Win Recovery Project, which has an own GUI (Graphical User Interface) and is used e.g. for file transactions or data backups in case Android is not properly working. You can also flash new Android ROMs with it and the “port” just means, that this one for the X98 Pro is ported from another tablet, as the TWRP-team still don´t support Teclast. The good news is most probably you will not have to use it to get Android up and running again.

But you will have to use fastboot(.exe). This is a tiny program without an own GUI which runs on your PC (not tablet) while you have a connection to your tablet via USB. The tablet has to be in dnx fastboot mode and later in Android bootloader mode (two different modes!). To install fastboot on your PC maybe this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118 helps you to do it easyly on Windows. If your PC is on another OS you have to google the installation. I presume you are on Windows. Once you installed fastboot you have a folder where the “fastboot.exe” sits. In this folder you have to copy “loader.efi”, “boot.img” and “system.img”. Due to the fact that fastboot doesn´t have an own GUI you have to open a command prompt (yes, the black one with white letters or another terminal program) in this folder (you can google this also how to do it). Afterwards you can type in the commands I mentioned above. The tablet must be recognized in the command prompt window in Windows. If not, your fastboot installation failed or you don´t have the right drivers in Windows. But that´s the point where my help ends, because I don´t use Windows anymore since years already.

If it is properly recognized the above mentioned commands should bring you back to a booting Android without touching your Android-data-section (your music, photos, whatsapp-conversation, etc.), so normally you don´t need TWRP. But just for the case something goes wrong and Android doesn´t boot up you can boot in TWRP (see commands at valerima, copy img-file first in the “fastboot-folder”) and save your data. The GUI is self explaining, under “Advanced” you will find a file manager which you can use to save your data (on internal storage) to an external sd card.

I tried to explain these few steps as easy as I could and I hope, it´s now doable without any specific knowledge. But if that is still too complicated for you, you should really think twice whether you want to do this. The risk is to brick your Android partition, you have to be aware of that. Good Luck!

[Daniel]

OMG!…OMG!…OMG!!!…

….mmmm…I don´t know what to say!

Now I fell a “little bit” embarrased!

Well…the first of all…THANKS, BIG THANKS

I really appreciate that extra time and explanation! It is awesome!

I promise you I was doing my “homework” and I was investigating and learning some tutorials about TWRP and other details as I told you, but your detailed explanation goes much further and beyond! WHAT I REALLY APPRECIATE, because there is no tutorial to explain details I need…but yours! HAHAHA

Really thank you.

 

Now I have no excuses and I´m going to try to complete that in my X98Pro K9c6

 

I really appreciate tiny explanation like where to type in, tablet or pc, what is fastboot (tiny program running on my pc…I thought it was a mode of booting my tablet and I was going crazy!!! I was confused bwtween the exe fastboot, and the dnx fastboot…and i got totally lost with that tiny thing…thanks for the detailed explanation!!!)

About the drivers and so on…I found some help over there, and I have some downloads done (my homework)…we will see if it works!

I think that now I have it clear enough…only need some time to work on it.

I´ll tell you the results

 

But please…only a couple of extra questions.

1. Doesn´t need to be rooted the Android partition? (all the help and tutorials I found say that…)
2. And what about the difference between these boot and image you share (700mb) and the one that Valerima share from Dani Vasabe (25mb) Do they do the same?

THANKS TILL THE END OF THE EXISTENCE! AND BEYOND….

I´ll work on this asap

Daniel

[G. Llark]

Hi Daniel,

long story short: you don´t have to root anything, because your goal firstly is to restore Android. Rooting means you give yourself Superuser-rights in Android, but you don´t have a working Android, so there is nothing to root. You can do that once your Android is up again, but that´s a different story.

And you need the 3 files I mentioned, loader.efi, boot.img and system.img. The first one (from valerima/vasabe) is needed for booting into Android bootloader and the both other ones (from the large zip) are system-images of Android, because most probably one of them or both are corrupted on your tablet. That´s why Android won´t start. You will only substitute your corrupted ones with the extracted undamaged ones. And that´s why you need fastboot(.exe). It´s the tool that does it for you. But to make your tablet listen to these fastboot-commands you type in your PC you must boot your tablet into dnx fastboot mode and afterwards in Android bootloader mode. Imagine these two modes as maintenance/repair modes. Just in these you will get through with your commands. If you connect your PC with your tablet while an OS is booted on your device, you can do nothing with fastboot(.exe).

So now I guess you have enough information to bring your Android back on track. Cheers and have fun!

[Daniel]

Again and again and again…THANKS THANKS THANKS for your infinite patience and help. I really appreciate it

Thanks for the explanations and details, but…I have a small BIG problem

You are really great explaining these thing to me….but…after doing everything, preparing every  file, reading several tutorials, and following your steps…the BIG problem is that THERE IS NO WAY TO: get my tablet recognized by my computer, and there is no way to get the Universal Drivers installed too

Even followin step by step every single process several times. They do like they are installed, but nothing happens.

It is like if something is wrong in my computer (DELL XPS L702X – W7 )

Please, I´m working on it, so, if after some more attempts I get nothing, maybe (it is embarrassing…) I´ll try to ask for help, but…that´s all.
I cannot even start this wonderful explanation you showed me because of the ADB, USB Drivers, And recongnicing tablet is not possible…so…I´ll keep on working…

 

Thanks…I´ll keep you informed.

I´m downloading more Universal Drivers and others ADB….

 

Daniel

[Daniel]

Hi all!

There is no way

Each time I try…always the same problem. I cannot even try because the tablet is not recogniced by the system in anyway…

I´ve tried many different packages of drivers and adb´s…and nothing

Could somone give me an idea?

Each time I try to install Intel Android USB Driver, I receive this

x64 os
Windows version: 7
Installing drivers, please wait
drvinstall.exe intc_usbcomp.inf returned 0
drvinstall.exe intc_cdcserial.inf returned 0
drvinstall.exe intc_rndis.inf returned 0
drvinstall.exe intc_mtp.inf returned 0
drvinstall.exe intc_adb.inf returned 0
drvinstall.exe intc_dvctrace.inf returned 0

but it says INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL!

the thing is that my tablet is not recogniced by my computer when it is turned on under windows (each of the devices) or when it is in DNX Fastboot mode unde ADB….

so…what can I do? Any idea?

THANKS A LOT

Daniel

UPDATE:

I´ve tested my Teclast X98Pro K9C6 with W10 (fully updated) USB connection with 3 different Usb to MicroUSB calbles into 3 different computers running W7, W8.1 and W10, and NONE of them recognice the tablet as a device. Nothing appears. There is no way to get my tablet recogniced….so I cannot even try to start any process about TWRP or any other…
ANY IDEA?

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP

[Beto RM]

Hi Daniel, G. Llark and Valerima first of all, I would like to apologize for my english. I am very glad to find people like you. My knowledge about these stuff is very poor (yes Daniel, you are an expert for me, hahaha!!) I received the tablet yesterday . I turned on and started on windows without any problem. Then, I tried change to Android OS using the changing command or app from windows desktop. The tablet restarted and the died droid, with the red signal on his chest, appeared. After that, I was not able to start the tablet, even on windows, until I read this thread. I learned to use of pressing buttons. Now, I have got windows again.

I have set a claim to gerabest through Pay Pal and I am waiting for the answer. I am writing firstly to let you know my gratefully for meeting people like you. Then, I would like to know your opinion about what to do. Accept a device change? Thinking that they do it…. Or keep this and try to fix it following your instructions?

Finally, I congratulate you on your excellent attitude

Alberto
