I’ll give a basic guide a shot:

You will need: X98 plus dualboot tablet, micro usb to usb cable (the one that comes with the tablet), a windows pc with a usb port

Make sure your tablet is fully charged before starting

download Mirek’s zip file on your windows pc and extract to the C: folder (use 7zip, as you can see above not all extraction programs are equal)

install the two application files (FIRST_INSTALL_IT and SECOND_INSTALL_IT) by double clicking on them and following the instructions

with the tablet fully powered off hold down the power button and both volume up and volume down to boot into DnX mode

the screen should turn on and display the Teclast logo with DnX fastboot above in yellow

plug the tablet into your pc using the usb cable

on your pc in the extracted folder double click on the FLASHER_v1.0 batch file and follow the instructions (press 1 to keep android apps and data, 2 for clean install, e to exit)

when it finishes unplug and reboot your tablet, the first boot will take some time sitting at a screen saying android

Hope that helps

Turns out my issue was with using Alzip to unpack the files, it couldn’t extract everything, who knew? Anyway, 7zip did the job just fine and it flashed as expected from there.

Holding the power and  volume + buttons when turning on should show you a boot selection screen.

Thanks for the replies, I’m not running as admin, just double clicking the bat file. I just extracted the zip to c: do folders need moving after that? Also does the extras zip need extracting as well?

[Richard Steel]

I’m getting a lot of errors running the bat file. Specifically data\chgcolor.exe is not a recognised command and more importantly data\fastboot.exe isn’t either. I’m probably doing something trivially wrong, any ideas?

[Richard Steel]

If you press power and the volume buttons they function as screenshot and ctrl-alt-del. I wonder if the power button is jammed slightly, I don’t know why it wouldn’t just turn off though.

What sort of issues? I was unable to install any apps on my main user but could on a second I created. Since then I have done a windows reset keeping nothing and its fixed. Nothing else I came across on the internet worked.

I have 2 64gb Samsung cards. One works, the other doesn’t, at least they both work in my phone so not a massive deal.

[Richard Steel]

Right clicking on the search bar also gives an options menu, including task manager.

[Richard Steel]

The bios update? That needs to be run from the tablet, make sure the file is unzipped to C: first. This thread is discussing the return of the issue after updating windows.

[Richard Steel]

Also having this issue. 64gb card was working after bios update, now it back to code 10 cannot start in device manager.

Thanks for the touchscreen tip. It certainly seems more responsive now.

[Richard Steel]

Update. BIOS fix works (use at your own risk etc.) you need to put the unzipped folder into the root directory (C:) and run from there. The tablet will reboot then bring you back to the updater which will want you to reboot again. I can confirm my 64gb samsung sd now works fine.

@Gal did OKQI provide any other info? The instructions are very clear but perhaps we are missing something. I noticed they were running from the root directory but that didn’t fix it. I’ll plug in a keyboard later and see if I can screenshot the install to see what is happening. If only this was Linux and we could run in a shell!

I asked Gal to edit his post but he may be sleeping or doesn’t care for my advice. Don’t flash this, wtf are you people thinking….a file posted by some random dude on the internet that can brick your tablet. Max

As one of those who tried the flash I’d like to respond with wtf I was thinking. This is a forum for enthusiasts not random Joe public, if you don’t know what you are doing flashing a BIOS then you shouldn’t be trying it, insulting others who do is not acceptable behavior. What we are trying to do is fix a problem with the tablet, if you have nothing to contribute please go elsewhere.
