    How hard/challenging it is to repartition disc size?

    if you have any experience with gparted and use livecds it’s easy. Download gparted iso and put in a pen with rufus in fat32 and select “GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer”. When it boot,  Android data partition must be reduced to the desired space and erase Android_persistent partition. Apply changes and then create a new partition of 1mib unformatted and put the name and the label Android_persistent. Apply changes. And resize Android_config to have the continuous space and leave the 8mib it had. Always give the button to ignore the message asking all the time.

    That’s a summary sorry for my English

    If anyone convert it. Can test this? Is the mirek190 rom for the pro but with the kernel and bootloader of x98 plus. No risk of brick. If don’t work reflash the stock rom with intel phone flash tool.

    Boot in DnX mode connect it to the PC and double click in Flasher.bat

    David, interesting you were able to repartition it. Did you do a trial and error or is there any instructions anywhere?

    Bricked mine too (A5C6). Bios flashed successfully, but did not boot. Will try to reflash with arduino soon.

    Bricked mine too (A5C6). Bios flashed successfully, but did not boot. Will try to reflash with arduino soon.

    How did you flash Dual-Boot BIOS? It’s not possible to enter BIOS menu?

    Anybody knows the working solution to flash Dual boot BIOS without bricking the tablet?

    First time I flashed it like all tutorials says – from C:\ and with administrators rights, it said passed, but after reboot tablet was dead, no logo, no bios, no nothing.

    Yesterday reflashed with arduino and flashrom, it works now!

    I already have Android installed, but I had a problem with Windows reset and had to completely delete the 32gb Windows partition. My question is if i have the Windows files on a 16gb Flash drive and follow the instructions with how to flash the Windows files in this thread, ( using the Intel phone flash tool) would it install Windows back onto the unallocated 32gb disk space ?

    The 16gb files need to be in a NTFS partiton, and the boot files in FAT32, that’s the reason you need two flash drives to do it.

    You guys are great, putting so much effort in it. I was really interested in converting my A5C6 in dual boot, but it sounds a little tricky… Maybe running android on an emulator is a better solution overall?

    Hi again. I started the procedure (following the guide in spanish) and I installed the dual-boot BIOS successfully. I have set the parameters in order to enter DNX fastboot, but when I try to flash, nothing happens. The Phone Flash Tool doesn’t seem to see the tablet… Any ideas? Thank you.
