    Wow cool, thanks. Does this mean a pure Android is possible?

    yeah i guess so. probably have to delete win partitions, resize android userdata and flash modified bootimage to bypass dm-verity

    Hi

    Tanks for this topic.

    I have a Cube iworks 10 flagship dual os (i15-tl)
    Just to Be sure…do you have the link to the official images for Windows and android….i saw them on the cube site but i cant read Chinese and the translater doesnt translate the images that explain How to do It.
    Could you explain ?
    There is nothing wrong but i want to know if It does go wrong.

    Hope you can help

    Greetings

    the link on the cube site is for a zip that contains a link for a baidu share that no longer exists. i believe somebody around here made a mirror of that, but can’t remember which post had it inside

    as for the guide to restore the system from the images, look at my other thread for tips about restoring, its linked there

    Does reflashing the android partition requires me to also reflash windows? Or is there a workaround for that?

    I plan to root mine, but I’m afraid if it get’s an update I’ll have to reflash the whole tablet to update it, I wouldn’t mind reflashing just the android partition because I mostly use windows.

    can’t know for sure but there is a very high chance that in order to get the OTA you’ll have to re-flash using the intel phone tool which erases the whole disk including the windows partitions.

    let’s say that atleast you can backup the windows partitions and restore them after, that you can do

    yeah that’s a good idea

     

    Edit: tried to flash the modified boot image and got an error! Even though the last thing I did is flash the official images!!

     

    Do I need to restore the partitions? And which ones are they? I have “bootloader2” and “bootloader” -100mb each-, and “boot” which is 30mb. Are those the ones I need to restore?

    Edit 2:
    Nevermind, just restored them and rooted successfully.

    Thanks.

    Now that’s a good bit of useful info, appreciate the effort!

    Will have to see about trying out the root sometime soon.

    So… in order to get a working custom boot image, you unpack it, make the changes to default.prop and init.rc and repack right?

    Hi Laura,

    thanks for all the really great info.

    I’ve just a question regarding “General guidelines to install your own windows and mantain proper dual boot” – what happens if you just install Windows and don’t do the messing around restoring original partitions and so on? What parts of the dual boot system don’t work properly without this?

    i guess android bootloader and possibly recovery will get damaged in the process. android should still boot but you won’t be able to use fastboot to flash the rom and maybe there could be problems with OTAs too.

    vice versa, an OTA could make windows non bootable since windows bootloader will be placed in the 2nd partition, which is android stuff
