I can download it. Do you have the link?

I could then try to get it to Chris so he could upload it to the downloads section.

Apparently this will leave your tab dual boot, but with no operating system on either partition

Thanks, I’m looking into it now. But it seems we are missing the Dual OS bios? Looks like it’s just for the X98 K9C6 until they release the bios.

Edit: I think our bios is already dual boot as I can enter the DNX FASTBOOT MODE on mine (power on hold and vol-). Looks like we might be able to flash? But the whole procedure is different from the X98 Air. I’ll need some time to figure this out then give it a go.

Okay looks like we can flash it I think. I’m goingto try at the risk of bricking my X98 Pro (hope not!)

Looks like we do this:

Install all 3 tool apps in this order:
1. iSocUSB Driver
2. IntelAndroidDriver
3. PhoneFlashTool
Download and extract the Android Rom.

Run the PhoneFlashTool and browse to flash.json in the extracted Android X98 Pro Rom.

Set the configuration to blank.

Enter DNX FASTBOOT mode by holding power on and vol down (works on mine)

Connect USB cable to your PC and X98 Pro

Click start to flash

Wait to 100% and then hope it’s not bricked!

I’m trying it now!

Well I got as far as 20% into the flash and it failed 🙁 My X98 Pro is showing an Android Recovery? Or fast boot screen. So it looks like it was starting to work, but maybe only for the K9C6? My X98 Pro says OEMI ACPI tablet parse error 🙁

Edit: Crashed at 43% bootloader flashed

Looks like I’m bricked 🙁 I can still get into the fastboot DNX mode. But not the bios..

Got as far as 56% and then the factory format command failed on me.

Ugh! That’s terrible.

I cannot get to fastboot, maybe because I upgraded my win10 to pro and then to insider preview

@chris, does it looks like this? And you are unable to get to bios even using keyboard? I didn’t brick mine, since I cannot get to fastboot, so I’m figuring a way how to flash it from linux booted from usb. Right now I just tried to copy the android efi loader to efi partition and load it, with this result. I can still get to bios or boot original windows.

I cannot get to fastboot even after I restored original win10 installation… Anyone has some experience with flashing android image using dd? Looking at the flash scripts it should be pretty straightforward, just flash gpt table to internal flash and then flash partitions… Are there any caveats?
