[SOLVED] Question: How to upgrade Android *only*

[kurr]

The Android of my Teclast X80 pro E3E7 is using the 1.06 version, while in the teclast website the version 1.07 can be downloaded and installed. I’ve read that flashing it will remove Windows and the user needs to install it again, so I’d like to know if someone else has tried to upgrade Android via flashing while leaving the Windows partitions intact.

The update has a flash_update.json, but I don’t know how exactly should I use it.

Thanks.

i had tried to install the Andriod version on my X80 Plus too but somehow it failed and i almost bricked my tablet. Lucky i can still reinstall Windows OS back. I suggest you dun try unless you know what you are doing.

That’s why I asked.

Anyways I just did and I upgraded just the Android part successfully without touching the Windows partition. It turns out that it’s really easy. Just install the Intel phone tool, enable USB debugging in your tablet (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging), load the flash.json file in the Intel Phone Tool, (*important*) select “update” in the configuration, connect the tablet to the computer and “Start flash”. After a few restarts, it finishes flashing.

I didn’t put WiFi to the tablet till today and surprisingly, a new OTA update appeared and now my table is running this build number: v1.08_20160628
