Update Bios Firmware / Updated drivers ?

[Jorge Gomez Gutierrez]

Robert,  the bios dump that you attached is for the Hi8 pro dual version?  I have the dual version and I need to flash the bios with a valid one, I have the problem of usb disabled too and I have no possiblity to use a keyboard inside the bios…. this is a long history with my brand new chuwi hi8 pro (one day of use,  I think that I received the one with the latest 64bit problematic bios)…

please tell me something!

cheers.

I have received my CH341a, soic8 clip a logic level converter but I didn’t know at the time I needed a 1.8v voltage reference, can I use two depleted AA batteries?

From which pins do I pull 3.3v from the CH341a?

Are Engineers working on the sleep of death issue that is plaguing our Chuwi Hi 8 Pro Dual boot – Android ?

Shame on you Chuwi!

After waiting 3 weeks for my new tablet to arrive, only to learn that you shipped it with what you *must have known* to be a shitty usability problem.

Are profits more important than this?  I ask you, is giving yourself a bad name worth releasing a product before you ironed out the issues???

How many Chuwi products do you think I will recommend to my 1800 followers on my blog?

FIX IT!!!!!!

i have the dualboot version.
When i try to update i get following message:
Image type X64 is not supported by this IA32 shell

I am confused. In Bios Settings it clearly states boot Architectuire x64.
Also, i cant launch EFI Shell from filesystem device, only when i choose the uefi usb drive in boot override.
When i escape the statup script, i am in EFI shell.
Any suggestions?

Current bios version:
uefi 2.4 pi 1.3
d2d3_hi8pro.221

Ok.  Previosuly having same error as jay.

However, after a few times trying, i managed to update the latest bios. It is the same as some people posted, 64 bits.

D2D3_Hi8pro221 x64.

I think the tablet must be fully charged, connect to usb hub. Take off external power (maybe of that, error). then click on the boot option with yr usb thumb drive.

Press esc  to stop the startup script. then flash with “fpt64.efi -f BIOS.BIN”

 

After flashing, the android and windows 10 still working as normal.  However, not sure it will help you to solve your problem.

Hi jeff,  the bios files you requested.

Those getting error, try a few times.

Flashed the bios without knowing how the error solved. Just try different hub slot, then suddenly i was able to use the fpt64.efi to flahs the BIOS.BIN.

strange.

Yeah, I shutdown the tablet and booting from the BIOS after powering it on.  Suddenly, fpt64 worked and upgraded the BIOS.  I am still having issues install a x64 Windows 10 though.  I’ve removed all partitions and clean installed a Windows 10 x86, but would like to see if a x64 version works.  Also, since I deleted the Android partition, my Chuwi Boot Menu only shows a Windows 10 logo and an “OK” button, is that the same for other folks?

I didn’t install the x64 win10. However, someone has posted the  drivers for the x64 win10.

Not sure is it worth the time to do the x64. This tablet is kinda of disappointing.

I also downloaded the android 6 test image from intel android and boot it up on the usb.  It was able to run quite smoothly, but the touch screen, wifi, screen resolution are all out.
