Chuwi HI10 X64 Update

[Laura]

if you don’t have an idea where to start, don’t try doing it, trust me. it’s something for power users only and the chance of you bricking your tablet is really high

I’d love to try, how can I become good at something if I don’t try? won’t it always be fixable?

No – it may not be.
That’s why there are all the warnings – it’s easily possible to get the thing into a state where it loses all communication with disks and ports and button inputs. Once you have reached that point then there’s no way to change/update/reset the software/settings any further, and you are left with … a brick. You might as well use it as an expensive chopping board from then on.

This is why it’s a very bad idea to experiment with low level functionality like this unless there are well documented and well tested utilities & procedures in place.

Bear in mind, that unless you have a good amount of existing experience at understanding and dealing with situations that arise that aren’t mentioned or are different from the published information guides, then the odds of you reaching “brick” state increase dramatically.

If you are willing to take the gamble and don’t mind potentially writing off the tablet entirely – by all means go ahead – it’s *your* device after all, and who are we to tell you how to treat it ? Just be aware of the risk potential 🙂

As kurai said, never try this if you’re not experienced unless there’s a huge community behind the product that is willing to put in the man hours to provide fixes. That’s why iPhones and iPad can be fixed from being bricked, huge community. Hi10, however, is not.

Alright, thanks guys! 🙂

You could always wait until Chuwi officially release the update files. I’m sure they’ll include tutorials.

Also in that other thread the poster (Alvaro) of the files said not to update.

I’d wait until they are out of testing phase to play around with them. ( once again when Chuwi officially releases them to the public)
