Update: I wiped the whole SSD with Ubuntu, removed all entries in the EFI with efibootmgr.

Then I installed Android, then Windows. Same error with Windows (0xc0000225) BUT!

I have two “Windows Boot Manager” in my boot list. I had two before too: one that would give me error 0xc0000225, and another that would show Windows logo with spinning icon, then black screen, Windows dialog telling me there is an error with boot stuffs. Doesn’t remember the exact message.

BUT! This time, first “Windows Boot Manager” still gives me error 0xc0000225, but the other one actually boot Windows and it works!

The problem is that even if I try to change the boot priority to the working one, it still boot to the non-working one (the one giving error 0xc0000225)

So I don’t think I need any of the above. If someone want to help, please open a CMD (admin) and paste me the result of bcdedit /v

Any idea how to fix this?

I escalated to AliExpress 10 days ago and still no update … I contacted support yesterday on live chat and they said I should have an update this week. Lol.

Règle #1: ne jamais s’attendre à avoir une garantie quand on achète directement de la Chine. La majorité des vendeurs n’en ont rien à foutre.

Lorsque tu démarres ta tablette, tu vois bien le logo American Megatrends? Suffit alors de peser sur “DEL” pour accéder au BIOS. Tu essaies avec quoi? Essaie avec un bon vieux clavier USB avec câble.

[Keven L]

Did you try it?

Edit: I tried the live install. No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth. Touchscreen seems to work well. Audio too.

Found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2265190

Will let you know if I find something…

[Keven L]

Je me rappelle l’avoir fait sur ma PiPo W3F, c’était très simple.

Une recherche rapide sur google pour “american megatrends boot menu” me donne ça: http://www.wimware.com/how-to/boot-from-usb.html

Edit:

Je viens de tester. Suffit d’appuyer sur DEL lorsque le logo American Megatrends apparaît. Ensuite:

Guys I’m gonna help Sylvain in french, it will be faster for both of us. Please feel free to continue the discussion in english. If it annoys anyone I’ll stop writing in french.

Salut Sylvain. D’après moi la solution serait de faire une fresh install de Windows 10. Va télécharger l’ISO 64 bits de Windows 10 ici: http://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10ISO

Ensuite suis les étapes suivantes pour te faire une clé USB bootable: http://forums.cnetfrance.fr/topic/1234837-comment-installer-l-iso-de-windows-10-depuis-une-cle-usb-bootable/

Ensuite quand ta tablette décolle, faut que tu ailles dans le BIOS afin de lui dire de booter sur ta clé USB. Tu peux trouver facilement de l’info là-dessus sur Google.

À noter qu’il se pourrait également que ta tablette manque de batterie comme Andy Riley le dit!

I escalated my dispute 5 days ago and still waiting for AliExpress team to answer….

Just wanted to update about my dispute (of 250$ CAD) for my cracked Windows 8.1. Seller answered:

Hi friend.

Good day,

Because official windows8.1 just supports chinese, so we change them to multi language,

If you indeed don’t like the tablet, you can return back to us as our warranty.

Then I said:

I do like the tablet, and I want to stay with Windows 8.1, I don’t want Windows 10. I don’t understand why you’re telling me Windows 8.1 just support chinese, this is not true. I bought several others products from AliExpress and they all came with Windows 8.1 for Bing in english. I was always able to change the langage to french afterward if needed. Now the problem is not the langage, it is that the Windows you provided is cracked, hacked, not genuine. And by the way, yes I could upgrade to Windows 10, but it would activate using a VOLUME license which is against Microsoft’s own term, which mean that my Windows 10 could stop working at any moment as all the others persons using KMSpico. This is why I want a valid, genuine license of Windows 8.1 and this is why I’m asking a refund to go to the store and buy it. Thanks.

Then escalated the dispute to AliExpress. Nothing to lose.

Clear explanation, perfect answer, merci!

Ça fait plaisir Sylvain 😉

Sylvain wrote:

Do you need to remove the KMS activation before upgrading? How do you know the KMS tool is not there anymore once the upgrade is done? Thanks!

When upgrading, select option to “Not keep anything”. It will put all your things in “C:\Windows.old”. The new install won’t use KMSpico, and Windows 10 will be activated as Windows 10 Pro. No need for KMSpico, you get a full working license.

You can then remove the Windows.old folder and voila 🙂

The WiFi is perfect. Stylus is not working automatically, you need to download the official driver here: http://us.wacom.com/en/feeldriver/. It takes 1 minute to download & install. No reboot required. Very nice.

The orientation sensor doesn’t seem to work automatically too. Need a driver for that. I used this driver to make it works, but it’s inverted. Waiting for an answer to that.

I love this tablet & Windows 10. Only bad thing so far is that it gets hot so fast!!!! By the way the keyboard, I repeat it, is really nice. Just discovered that it has a place to put the pen in. Useful! 🙂

[Keven L]

Yes. This the good page ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO )

1. Download Windows 10 ISO
   1. Using your tablet (Windows 8.1) or another Windows PC
      1. Download the software they suggest you to, named something like windows 10 media creation
      2. Open it, at step 1 choose “Create installation media for another PC”, choose your lang, select Windows 10 as Edition and 64 bits as Architecture.
      3. Wait for download to complete. Click the text when it says where the ISO is located. It will open the folder in Explorer. You can click finish to close the download manager. Mount your ISO.
   2. Using a Mac
      1. Go to the link above, select Windows 10 as Edition. Click Confirm. Select the lang you want. Start the download. Transfer the ISO to your tablet and mount it.
2. Open setup.exe
3. Follow the steps and install Windows 10. I have chosen to delete everything from the hard drive. Keeping no programs etc. So no more KVM. I got a fully activated Windows 10 Pro doing that.

Let us know if it works, I have a kmspico activated unit now to that I got for someone, if they find it’s not legit I’m in the poop. I vouched for the tablet as mine in the review had Windows 8.1 Bing. Not a cracked version. This must be how Cube lowered the price to $299, because they aren’t having to pay for legitimate keys from MS, very naughty! I highly suggest getting one from Banggood.com now, if people are looking where to get one as my second unit i got from Banggood had 8.1 bing and no cracks, fully valid license and all. Still no news on when the keyboard will ship. Has anyone got the keyboard yet?

It worked very well. Download the ISO from Microsoft Website, mount it, install and voila! Windows 10 Pro installed & activated: http://imgur.com/n79rtcV

 

I got the keyboard, yes. Seller kept his words! Very happy about they keyboard. Here: http://techtablets.com/forums/topic/cube-i7-stylus-first-impression/page/17/#post-8650

+1 Craig. I’m upgrading right now. The “Get Windows 10 app” never showed up but I simply downloaded the ISO straight from Microsoft website. The installer is still “getting updates” but pretty everything will works fine. Maybe I’ll have to re-crack it….
