Kris : can you please provide the link for the download so that other members can also find the update file(s) ?

Have you downloaded and installed this package ? And if yes : can you please tell us how much free disk space there is available in Windows 10 and Android (5???) after installing ?

I have the Cube iWORK 10 with the keyboard, stylus (3x stylus are shipped Friday from Gearbest) and I´m very satisfied. Now with dual OS it will be even better!

My only problem is the VERY slow download from BAIDO for the above file. It´s always interupting after minutes and even downloading with download manager it´s a pain as Baido is always asking for a new password once the transfer is interupted.

If someone has successfully downloaded the file maybe you could upload the file to one of the known file hoster? I think everybody outside China will have similar problems getting this download done from Baido.

Enjoy your Cube!

God dammit, bricked it… FFS Another bricked tablet, I must have the record 🙁

DON’T FLASH THE BIOS, Wait for a new STABLE version.

End in an error: Error 7 Hardware sequencing failed Make sure that you have access to target flash area!

The eprom is a W25q64DW

@moonboom @evil-e @luka-stemberger I need your help now guys & gals. Can someone please make a dump of their bios so I can try to use a programmer and save my tablet.

Please download this: FPTW

And in the Command Prompt in as admin run:

fptw64 -d biosbackup.bin

Or if that fails

fptw -d biosbackup.bin

This will dump your Cube i10 Ultimate bios file. Please zip it and upload it for me, I’ll be super thankful. 😀 🙂

did you have to open the tablet ? got any pictures?

[Laura]

well, looking at cube’s forum it seems you’re not the only one that ended up with a bricked tablet Chris…

google translate:

We care! iwork10 Ultimate single system dual system brush, wood tutorial! Refresh bios becomes brick it!

bing translate: (which is far superior for chinese atleast)

Everyone be careful! Iwork10 ultimate system brushless system, wood has the tutorial! Refresh BIOS bricks!

[Chris G]

Thanks. Wish I knew this before I flashed it. Okay to report back. I managed to flash mine to the dual boot bios. What I did was open it up and use my hardware USB programmer to flash it with my clip, as far as I can tell the bios is fine. Just flashing it is bricking most or some units with the software flasher. So hold off until Cube sort this out. 

I do have a dual boot start menu if I power it on with the vol+ button pushed.  Took some photos of the internals, great build quality I think for the price. The battery is a branded unit locally made, it’s held in place with screws and plastic clips. Most MFG’s just use glue or double sided tape which runs the risk of it coming loose, moving around and damaging the internal ribbon connectors.

The plastic frame inside is solid and well built, motherboard screwed in place, tape to keep things in order. The SoC, RAM and eMMC are shielded and have a metal shield/heat spreader over them. Cube used thermal pads under it for the Atom X5, RAM and eMMC. And also tiny thermal pads ones on top to transfer a small amount of heat to the metal outer shell of the tablet. There is an internal metal frame too. Overall it’s all very well done.

I’m impressed with the build, it’s as good as know Western brands hold at your local tech shop. If only the flashing process wasn’t bricking units!
