I still have not gotten TWRP to work at all. I followed some guide and flashed it but when I tried to get back to recovery I would just get the andriod with the ! in the triangle.

Can’t remember the link either, a little help would be appreciated.

I used the ROM from this thread by Spzjulien and I decided to trust it. He was one of the people who got TWRP working on the X98 Plus, baked an X98 Plus ROM as well as this Remix OS one and I have seen the name on XDa as well.

From what I can make out, the offical download of Remix OS is designed so you use TWRP (or another recovery) to install the ROM, not the Intel flash tool. I have been unable to get TWRP to work though.

litte update, I got it working and it runs sweet.

I’m starting to get an idea of how it works but its still a learning curve.

This is what I did.

1. Extract the zip from the first post on this thread to a folder.
2. Install the intel flash tool light 5.5.2 from https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
3. Install Mireks ROM V3 but dont setup the tablet, just allow it to boot to the setup screen and leave it a second.
4. Open the flash tool, click the browes button, navigate to the folder where you extracted the zip fie from setup 1. It should auto select the flash.json file. Make sure update is selected.
5. Connect the tablet with USB to the computer and it should show it connected.
6. Press the update button and the tool will reboot the device, flash the ROM and reboot the device again. Now you just need to leave it, mine took about 10 minutes to boot the first time.

That was it, once it booted and I did the setup it has been friggin brilliant. Smoother than Mireks ROM, really good battery life, especially on standby. You might see an android appear on the screen the first time it boots after the device has been flashed. Its the android with a spinning cube. Just leave it, Remix OS takes a while to get going but it will get going. Seems like Remix does not like a dirty flash so doing this means your user data has been cleared.

Fat,

How did you install Remix OS?

I just got mine recently from Gearbest and it did not come with a charger, just the cables you have received.

Hi All,

I’m new to the X98 Plus and only had mine 4 days so I’m still trying to figure out how everything works. I have been reading loads of stuff on forums and being honest, I’m burnt out and no closer to figuring things out. My google-fu is usually good but I’m stuggling trying to figure a few things out.

I did manage to update the tablet to Miriks ROM which is bloody awesome but I really want to try out Remix OS and I’m stuck.

So I have downloaded the zip file for the X98 Plus from jide.com and now they have a specific X98 Plus version. I also grabbed the Intel Flash tool but adding the zip to the tool down not allow me to flash. It upzips the file but I get ‘ERROR : There is no flash file in the archive’. No idea how to proceed being honest, hence me asking for some help.

Anyone able to give me some pointers? How do I install TWRP (I’m going to assume that yo can use TWRP and just flash from the zip?) Will it still keep the dual boot (I need Windows for work purposes)?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Mo
