Flashing my X98

[Julyfish]

Hi Giuliano,

1. So I have a Teclast X98 Air3G 64GB dual boot, so it should be the C5J6 harware, correct? Not necessary. I have it too but my ID is C8J6.  The ID is shown on the back of your tablet.
2. To check your Bios version, search for Advanced Option or, if you have a OTG keyboard, shut down your tablet and power back on and press the ESC key when you start to see something on screen after power on.  The Project version is your bios version.
3. The C56J folder in Teclast cloud indicates the files are for single language, which presumably Chinese.
4. My X98 Air 3G 64GB came with Windows 10 and Android 5.0.  But I found Windows 10 is laggy after I change the UI language to English, so I did a clean English Windows 10 install, with a very satisfactory result.  The Teclast Android is full of Chinese bloatware, so I flashed it with Mirek190 V.5 ROM instead.  That is, you may like me not liking the Teclast official Windows 10 + Android 5.
5. Yes you need to install a downloader – actually you need to open an account in Baidu, which is a cloud service provider in China.  I would recommend you do the same as I what I did in (4), if you do not understand Chinese language.  Google Translate does a good job in translating Chinese words, but not full website / document.

Hope this helps.

Hello, this is my first post but it’s a quiet long time i follow techtablets;

I’m trying to flash my C5J6 arrived with Win 10 and lollipop 5.0.2 stock but i still can not flash the 2.02 bios and i’m not able to find out what bios i’m a running.

I’d like to flash Mirek190 rom to cancel all the chinese app and keep my tablet smooth but i don’t know what rom is better for my tablet (and if i need to flash the bios 2.02): V4 android 5 or V5 android 5, or V5 android 5 ultralight?

Flashing that rom i will lose Windows 10 or windows 10 activation?

I’d like to keep both partition: win 10 and Android

Someone can please clearly describe step by step the procedure and the right file (to download) to avoid the tablet’s brick?

When i tried to flash bios 2.02 i receis the follow log (the adb drivers were installed):

adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe

FLASH.bat

Hello there, first of all thanks for the answer!

 

1.  The ID is shown on the back of your tablet. OK so I’ve checked and I have a C5J6
2. To check your Bios version, search for Advanced Option or, if you have a OTG keyboard, shut down your tablet and power back on and press the ESC key when you start to see something on screen after power on.  The Project version is your bios version.
3. The C56J folder in Teclast cloud indicates the files are for single language, which presumably Chinese. <b>So if the version from the Teclast cloud are in chinese (Are you sure?) can’t you change the language after installing? </b>
4. My X98 Air 3G 64GB came with Windows 10 and Android 5.0.  But I found Windows 10 is laggy after I change the UI language to English, so I did a clean English Windows 10 install, with a very satisfactory result.  The Teclast Android is full of Chinese bloatware, so I flashed it with Mirek190 V.5 ROM instead.  That is, you may like me not liking the Teclast official Windows 10 + Android 5. I can surely follow your advice, but I still can’t understand well. You wrote about a clean English Windows 10 install. Where to find it? And above all, how to clean install Windows 10, Marek190 V.5 and keep the dual boot? Is there any tutorial I can follow?
5. Yes you need to install a downloader – actually you need to open an account in Baidu, which is a cloud service provider in China.  I would recommend you do the same as I what I did in (4), if you do not understand Chinese language.  Google Translate does a good job in translating Chinese words, but not full website / document.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Regarding your question about “So if the version from the Teclast cloud are in Chinese (Are you sure?)”, I am 99% sure because the wording used t0 describe single language is Chinese, but I have not tried installing it.

I wrote a guide as attached.

Please note it is basically a collection of others’ works posted in this Forum, so those guys are real heroes, not me.

Hope this helps.
