I just wrote a little review of this procedure but my post disappeared, don’t really understand why… Not going to write it again, all I’m going to say is that I can confirm that Giovanni’s tutorial worked for me and that I managed to clone emmc to ssd successfully with the Jumper Ezbook 3 pro v6 (July, 2018 from Gearbest) once the bios was unlocked. I even formated the emmc drive to use it as slow storage with no issues at all. I used Mini Tool Partition to do the whole cloning and had absolutely no problems with it.

Hello guys, for what’s worth I thought maybe I should post my very recent experience with Giovanni’s tutorial and how everything worked out for me with my Jumper Ezbook 3 pro v6 (bought on July, 2018 from Gearbest).

First of all, what I intended to do really was clone the emmc drive to the 240gb m.2 ssd I bought from eBay (brand name called “Oscoo”, been using it for about a year now, got it recognized straight away without any issues whatsoever). I was really afraid to do this cloning on the Jumper specifically because, after extended search and reading thoroughly in this forum and other places, I found out that lots of people were having cloning problems with the locked bios that caused Windows 10 to not work properly anymore. So in order to do a proper clone, the first step is to flash the unlocked bios Giovanni posted to us.

I found out what version of the bios I was using in the bios menu itself, using the date as reference. Mine was the Date 02/01/2018 16:10:57 Ver 3BANS010 Jumper10x.P8.WP3132.NHNAUHL02 one.

Second of all, indeed Giovannis tutorial is, at this point, a bit messy for someone with poor technical background in TI, like myself. Some of the instructions were really confusing, specially because as of now you don’t really have to do anything other that flash the provided unlocked bios our good friend provided.

That being said, once you find out what version of the bios you’re using, all you really have to do is download the correct one, along with the flashing tools (password = techtablets) and skip to step 2.5, called “Flash”.

The only tool you’ll really need is inside the AFU folder, and that is the AFUEFI one (AfuEfix64.efi archive inside the AFUEFI folder specifically). Just ignore all the other programs and tools. Also, be sure to have a usb drive with the original bios and the custom bios plugged in at all times during the process. Giovanni states that in the tutorial, but this is crucial, absolutely pay attention to this critical detail.

From that part on, instructions are understandable, although a little messy and oversimplified, but worked fine for me.

Bottom line is, once I flashed the unlocked bios (be absolutely sure to pick the correct one or you might lose your laptop forever), I can confirm that cloning went as smoothly as possible (I used MiniTool Partition Wizard, the very BEST free program for this in my humble opinion), I managed to start Windows 10 from the SSD after tweaking the boot order in the bios and even removed the emmc from the boot priority list altogether. Not a single problem occurred. (On a side note, it’s worth noting that the AOMEI Backupper program did not recognize my ssd for cloning, but the Mini Tools Partition did, keep that in mind).

When I was sure that Windows 10 was fully functional, up and running from the m.2 ssd (no Control Panel meddling was needed, just set the boot order properly with the ssd as number 1 and remove the emmc from the priority list), I then used again the MiniTool Partition Wizard to wipe the emmc and set it up as slow storage. After restart, everything was fine, wi-fi card was working properly, trackpad and Windows 10 in general were doing great, even with the newly created emmc storage drive being used solely for backups!

Power limits are unlocked and TDP is set to 9w by default with the unlocked bios, processor runs at 2099mhz on all four cores mainly. The Jumper logo is removed from the initialization screen and I have absolutely no problems with it, definitely recommend it for anyone who want to do a proper cloning to ssd with the Jumper Ezbook 3 pro!

I hope this little “review” of the process can help those who are afraid to do this procedure on their own and would like to thank and congratulate Giovanni for taking the time and effort to make this available to all of us, since support from Jumper is virtually non-existent.

Cheers from Brazil!

what is password?

I tried “techtablets” and it worked.

I’ve provided them a video with the problem, and they’re telling me that is invalid…They asking pictures also… Is there any difference between the 3.7v and 3.8v? Which is the right to choose? I’m attaching a pic of the battery inside.

 

I bought the 3.7V one, even though I still don’t have my Ezbook 3 pro with me (It’s coming late september), just to be safe.

Was wondering the same thing. Is there any difference between 3.7V and 3.8V? Would be nice to hear from Euplio about how his Ezbook 3 pro is doing with the new batteries.

Questi SSD sono compatibili? https://ssd.toshiba-memory.com/en-amer/ssd/rc100#ocz-nav

Not compatible. This one is NVMe, will not fit sata 3 ports, even m.2 ones.

Edit:

Or maybe they will? But Ezbook 3 pro doesn’t read NVMe, it seems.

I still don’t have the Ezbook 3 Pro with me, but it’s on the way. Since people seem to be having trouble with SSD, I decided to get one that was cheap, but not from Kingspec. Instead, I bought from a brand called OSCOO, model N800 m.2, from eBay.

Anyone heard of them before? Any thoughts? It’s been hard to find information about them on google, already searched a lot but only seem to find links from shops.

They have an official website though, with some pics of the factory and reception. Seems to be organized, maybe even trustable?
I’ll post some thoughts once I have the chance to run some tests.

Very glad I saw this post. Already ordered the batteries described (and I don’t even have the Ezbook 3 Pro with me yet! Better safe than sorry, right?)
I just wanted a macbook air like computer with windows, on the cheap. This Jumper seemed like the best bet, since everybody on YouTube was talking so keenly about it, but I guess you can’t be perfect.

@euplio

How many hours of use are you getting with the new batteries? Do they charge up to 100%?

@Chupa

Big fan here! Thanks for all the help on other posts, I never participated really but have looked them all up, especially the SSD ones. Decided that I’m not going to flash Windows 10 to m.2 ssd, I guess it’s better to wait a little longer for the system to boot from the emmc than to have all the trouble with bios and s**t. Can always install programs to the SSD anyway, and use them from there 🙂

Thanks a lot, guys.
