Windows 10 upgrade to "1511" and now isn't activated any more

[Martynas]

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way to activate now, but there is possibility to rollback to previous version.

Or use kmspico to hack activation.

Do you have win 10 home? As KMS cannot be used on home version only on pro, from where you have bought this tablet, maybe seller installed and hacked win10 for you.

Thanks for your reply.

It had Windows 10 activated from the beginning. I bought it here in Germany at geekvida.de. But maybe you are right that the seller installed and maybe hacked Win10. Contacted them already, but got no answer so far. I remember having seen windows defender complaining about a OEM8.exe or something the like and erasing that one back in November. It states and stated being Windows 10 Home Edition.

So maybe this is the problem now, that the 1511 build is basically a Windows 10 re-install and now that hack is no more around ?

What do you mean by roll back to previous version ? I thought this is no longer possible once on 1511. The pitty is I a have an unused Windows 7 key, but cannot use that on a Windows 10, that already once had been activated I assume to now reactivate it. That would only work starting from new (?). I would even not know how to start from new on this tablet. Is this feasible at all now that once by whatever trick it had been on Windows 10 and activated ?

 

Any ideas or links on what I could look at in addition.

Seems you have got tablet with hacked windows…

Check system settings, after major updates you can rollback to earlier windows version, check for path in C drive for windows_old this is yours old windows.

Other that you can do is to install win7 with legal key and upgrade to win10 to keep legal key.

Martynas,

 

thanks. Yeah, think now it is crystal clear. I assume Teclast is only having licenses for a pure Chinese Windows 10 not a mutlilanguage W10.

This is presumable were sellers in Europe come in with grey ideas how to activate English or mutlilangual W10 by means of some KMS fake. Haven’t found kmspico files on the tablet which would be a huge hack after all as it hacks anything ! But I remember having seen Windows defender erasing an OEM8.exe back in November nearly some hours after starting the tablet the first time. I also found Chris here writing when testing an X98 Pro he found that thing, too. I assume it is a KMS faking service, faking a KMS host in the net that’s just mimicked on the local machine. Being deleted by Defender and therefore not in place when the 1511 build rolled-out (which is in effect a new installation), kicked (the only hacked) activation away.

No way, for me to support that kind of grey to black ideas of seller as I want to use that tablet for real work also. Fortunately (for me, only), I found an unused second Window 10 key, I got on top in a special bundle when purchasing another laptop recently. I used that one now to legitimate the W10 on my X98 Air 3G.

Thank you for help in proper understanding what was going on. Really curious if I’ll be getting an answer from geekvida …

Anyway, I am legal now.

 

But I am now having another problem with G sensor. When tilting the tablet in W10 screen is no longer autorotating. Neither a “rotation lock” field is present in the information center popping up from right side, nor do I see in settings-> screen any more a tick mark to check autorotation or not. I can see however Kionix driver being properly installed. Did not touch anything. W10 was just updating automatically to 1511 as I said. And before this did work. Also G-sensor is fully functional in Android (Mirek 5.0 v6). Maybe I should take this to another Topic not to cross subjects …

For rotation issues get older Kionix driver, thats all.

Just in case somebody comes over this one and picks up the rotation issue.

I downloaded newest Kionix driver from kionix. Then made a binary registry ‘Orientation’ entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion

For my X98 Air 3G C5J6 I set to hex  01,00,00,01,01,00,02  to have the mounting orientation of Kionix chip properly cared for.

After having figured out (via other forums) and done that I found somebody here in our forum back in August had already that very same solution and even got a full turnkey solution by Kionix directly 😎
