    Hi Guys,

    I’m not sure what has happened to my X98 Air 3g. I have made some mistakes while playing around with deleting android. I did something wrong with the partition manager and deleted everything, I think. The only thing that’s installed is the Windows Bios. When I’m starting my device I only see the “EFI Shell”, you see on the picture I did. I have no option to start anything from a USB-Drive, so I can reinstall Windows.

    At the moment the device is completely useless and I would love to reinstall Windows, or if it isn’t possible at least Android, so the device is usable again. Did anyone of you came across the same problem and has a solution for me?

    Thank you!

    I’ve made a pretty good step. I’ve made a Windows Boot Stick which wasn’t working. But I’ve installed Android x86 as a boot image and now I can start the tablet from Android at least. Very slow, but it works. Now I need a way to recover Windows from Android.. But I think that should be doable.

    I have used a usb hub, keyboard and a usb stick with Android X86. It runs pretty slow on my tablet, but it works.
    You can enter the bios when you type in “exit” in the EFI Shell. For me it starts up the Bios then.
