Flash a custom Android image (ROM) to your X98 Air device, leaving Windows untouched

Procedure: Flash a custom Android image (ROM) to your X98 Air device, leaving Windows untouched
Required:
1. A Windows Host PC with the Manufacturing Flash Tool (MFT) installed and configured.
If you have a Windows PC, but need to install and configure the MFT, Try This Tutorial first.
2. Teclast X98 Air device with at least 50% battery charge
3. USB A to Micro USB cable
4. A downloaded Android ROM image that you intend to flash to your device. I would recommend downloading one of Mirek190’s fine ROMs from here:
[INDENT]https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8BF9-TGlz-FfkhLa21GSFJtMFV5b3luNXBjZlcwUzZTUHlIaGtBalJOWHBaZEdMcTYtUTA&usp=sharing#list[/INDENT]

Step by Step instructions:
1. Extract the ROM you will be installing to a folder on your Windows Host PC. I have selected Mirek’s V3 Lollipop image.
2. Launch the MFT using the desktop shortcut that looks like this:
The MFT Application looks like this:

3 Within the MFT, select the File menu, then Open. This brings up the XML selector dialog, which looks like this:

4. Using the MFT‘s XML selector dialog, browse to the folder containing your extracted ROM.
You should see the following options (wording may vary):
[INDENT]flash-full_with_partitioning
flash-system_only_and_format_data
flash-system_only_no_data_formating[/INDENT]
We cannot select flash-full_with_partitioning, as this option deletes all existing partitions before repartitioning and flashing. This would not leave the Windows installation untouched. Both remaining options will leave Windows untouched, but have slightly different behavior.
flash-system_only_and_format_data is the recommended option for the cleanest Android install, but it does wipe any user settings and Apps you had installed before the flash. I’m used to starting from scratch and I want my Lollipop to be as clean of an install as possible, so I select this option using the XML selector dialog of the MFT. If I wanted to keep my settings and installed user apps, I could select flash-system_only_no_data_formating
MFT is now ready to flash. The flash will be triggered by the detection of a Baytrail device on the Host PC’s USB bus.

5. Connect the USB cable to the Host PC, but not to the tablet just yet.
6. Power up your X98 Air device by holding down the power button, volume+ and volume- until your device enters DnX mode. If you do it right, you will see:
[INDENT]Entering DnX mode
Waiting for Fastboot command [/INDENT]
in small letters in the center of the display.
7. Find a stable place to set down your X98 Air device, then connect the MicroUSB end of the USB cable to your device.
8. MFT should now detect your X98 Air device and immediately begin the flashing process. MFT will display a progress bar indicating the percentage completed, like this:

The progress bar might seem to hang at about 80%, but give it some time and it will complete.
9. Once the MFT indicates flashing is complete:

disconnect the USB cable from the tablet and Host PC.
10. Power up your tablet and boot into your new Android ROM !!

[Peter]

Thumbs up Randy

[Rob]

New here. Everytime I try and use the IMT flash tool everything seems font till 12% then just stops? Any ideas? Thank

[TecKnight]

I personally like V3 better. It’s faster and the UI is smoother.

Sweet guide – thanks.

I’m trying to flash an HG9M, with the Mirek v4.0 ROM
But the ManufacturingFlashTool.exe keeps crashing at 5 or 12%
(Last Log entry: Disabling xFSTK Misc DnX)
Im trying to flash from win8.1 64bit.

Any suggestions?

[TecKnight]

Rob, try uninstalling then reinstall the MFT using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61847947&postcount=10126
I have created a batch file that installs and preconfigures MFT with all needed changes.

Make sure you let the driver installers unonstall any existing drivers before they install the new one

Nope won’t work. Still stops at 12%. What about making a update.zip file and flashing it with the recovery?

[Rob]

I keep getting error. (E:no valid installer median found) then nothing happens. I can reboot fine and go into windows and android but just can’t update anything. Its been rooted and USB debug is on. Any idea’s? Thank for the help.

[Lasse]

Thanks for the update.
I have tried that, but still same error.
It might be my laptop that needs a reinstall, I will create a HDD with a fresh installed win7 – and retry.
I will report back.

[Lasse]

OK – it seems like my windows installation was the issue.
I installed a fresh copy for Win7 and installed the drivers and tool.

The flash was progressing, but at 6% it gave “[FAILURE] IFWI flash failure”
I have repeated the process and same issue.

Now the tablet will not boot, I can still enter DnX mode (and the bios by pressing ESC on a Keyboard)

Just a note – I wanted to remove Windows, so I used “flash-full_with_REPARTITION” – was that a very bad idea?

Am I lost – or are the hope for my quest for a cleaner Android on my China-Tablet 🙂

Your problem is your drivers.
It appears that your iSOC drivers are not working correctly
It is an iSOC command that tells DnX to go to droidboot mode and that is what is not happening for you
See if fastboot works.
Boot the tablet into DnX mode then go to a command prompt
type fastboot devices + Enter
Does it show your tablet ?
