Oh that’s cool, shrinking it down… Thank you for that.. i just may consider that.. if anything, i’d want more with it… I was able to download the v1.06 firmware (using tampermonkey and a script to bypass login info on baidu)… so i’ll have to give this a shot. How difficult was it for you to reapply the bootloader OS chooser? Thanks.

Here you go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1aujfdH5b4EWk5qam1Dajlvd0U The OS chooser was easy to restore once you find this: https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/tbook-16-power-no-os-selection-screen-on-boot/#post-68352

Thank you for those… Hopefully i can get back to that point. Right now, i’m trying to restore the tablet so that i can get into android… unfortunately the bios just continues to come back up. The only Boot Option i have is the UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell. I don’t see the internal hard drive anywhere as a choice… Any ideas?

Unfortunately, no. I don’t think you can flash the firmware without at least booting into Android recovery. In your case, it could be a BIOS problem, but I think the internal drive or flash memory may be corrupted. Could even be hardware failure. Looking at your thread, it’s over my head… So I cannot help you there. Sorry.

I too thought the same thing with the internal drive or flash memory… I’m not getting any help from teclast or gearbest (as i’ve had a lot of issues with this device since i got it)…

Looks like i may have to open it up myself and figure it out.

No problem, thank you for your thoughts…

Hello, i am looking for the firmware too… Has anyone been able to download the one from teclast’s website (through dropbox, which is now a 404 page)?

Thanks.

As a follow up, when the system tries to boot from the bootloader, this is what happens when it times out.

When the device loads up, this is what i see..

Bootloader Error code 2
