Hi erveryone,
have anyone tried to run Googles Android rom on the Prophet device.
Is it possible to port the Android to Prophet.
That's idea for a new ROM for the Prophet.
Android looks nice.
Would be great if one of the gods culd port it to our Propets.
is it possible to start android with haret from the prophet device.
There is an Version of Android for the Kaiser device.
I want to test to start them on my Prophet.
Have erveryone has tried to port Android to Prophet.
Is anyone interrested in a change to start Android on Prophet or make a realy Rom
I have downloaded the kernel image an the android from the wizzard forum.
Then i startet all with the Haret Bootloader.
It boot to the Red Dot (Knight Rider) and after a few minutes it hangs off.
My Prophet is found by Haret as Wizard (i have the coffie Rom).
When i use an other Kernel Image then Haret Boot but Android doesn't do it.No Red Dot.
This are my first Tests but i'm a noob in Linux.
I look an test other Kernel images.
Other Android Source works as the orginal is used.
I hope somebody else tested to start Android on Prophet device.
I think it is possible. Omap 850 ofcourse isnt slow as most people think of its 195mhz and it has 100Mhz DPS + 50Mhz arm7 and it is powered by fast 2D graphics chip, so it is definetly possible. I also find on youtube the smartphone with 201Mhz omap 850 on android with qwerty and 320*240 touchLESS screen(it isnt such problem just drivers)
I also had a try with android, but it simply stayed white
Lets pray that it will work once on our prophets
Yes this problem i just have many Times for my Tests.
Then the Kernel image or the Android image is wrong. First i thought the Kernel is wrong but after some more Test it is possible that both can make problems or try another version of Haret.
But all i tried is the same problem Android stuck at the Startscreen with the Red Dot.
Here in the Forum is an big Post of Android and there is a long to a bootkit for Kaiser thats files wich works to still my problem. And there are many links to different versions of Haret just trying for a working one.
anyone has already put android on S200?
I put once the android on my prophet.It worked, but it needs almost 15 minutes to boot, the touch isnt working and its really slow.
and with the final version of android, no good news?
well when i played around with Linux i gave up with prophet as it's to slow like in the post earlier took ages to boot and needed things editing as the version i ran was intended for the wizard close to our device but different internal hardware so not much worked I think the prophet is not up to the job and that's why it was abandoned
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki/Devices
They said that Prophet is Officially Supported by the project.
Somebody try to run?
I cheer this rom

just want to share with all of u about my Atom situation and pls don't try it!
When i got my atom, it's running Windows mobile 5 then i upgrade to 6 by jiggs coz can't found 6.1 clean one.
after several days of searching, i found Atom Rom 6.1 from Helloword1 (only diskimg.nb0) then i download pc update from his threat to update. i perform all update, it complete successfully.
i want to try rom from hp witch is recommend from Helloword1 to hp user, i found that the hardware of hp and atom are the same so i want to try that rom even there is warning from other user here.
i also download the atom kitchen of atom, put diskimg.nb0 to ROM directory in the kitchen then run Build Rom.bat when rom is generate i flash it to my atom using pc update from HP. this time i forget to delete Eboot.nb0 for HP so while updating My atom boot loader become HP logo that time i dare not to disconnect it from usb coz m afraid to brick my device, i wait till it finished
after reboot my atom's boot loader become HP and 02 Welcome screen!
i can aligne screen to complete windows setup but every apps not working even sync.
i try to search forum but no solution.
try to flash from SD card as suggest from Helloworld1 still can't
Then i take out the battery and press Send and End button for a while put battery back, it goes to HP boot loader then fasten i connect to pc this time i flash with HP ROM it's finished successfully but i can't even aligne screen but when i plug to my pc, it's connected so i have some hope to flash back to atom using Jiggs ROM
everything working fine now even boot loader
Now i flash back to Helloworld1 (atom rom)

Congratulations! You saved your device from yourself! (I'm joking )
Too much interest history, man...I'm thinking, perhaps, you can SD flash bootloader only (ATOM, of course) for the next (if becomes), starting the HP's bootloader with an ATOM Eboot inside your mini SD. I don't know sure, but perhaps runs ok.
I'm totally agree with you that it's needed more info for people (specially newbies than I'm) about cooking tasks, procedures, kitchens for HP's 68xx.
Not only for customizing pourpouses, also for translations issues. Seems a lot of people are interested in to use some roms in their own language also, not only english.
If this becomes, I guess a bit more projection & bussiness for people that hardly develope these nice roms.

Thanks for ur commend man! i also tried to flash Eboot.nb0 fro SD card on that time, after place Eboot.nb0 on sd card, Enter boot loader by taking out battery Press Send + End button for a while, put battery back.
it show HP boot loader around 5 to 10 minutes, restart, every the same.

Sorry guy m not a cooker, m a user like u too. what i wrote above just a sharing with u guys. it's a mistake coz i want to use rom that is stable for HP.
I have tested all 6.5 ROM from PDAViet but bluetooth and wireless not working well, on the other hand rom from PDA Viet not a clean one.
Now day i still using 6.1 from Helloworld1, may i recommend you to use 6.1 by Helloworld1 till we can found 6.5 clean ROM like Helloworld1?
Just wondering if this is working on our devices? its working on the desire now
h t t p: / /forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772795
and if so what steps do we need to take to get it working? thanks guys.
According to a discussion on a different forum, a few people have tried this on the Eris but it fails to flash. So still waiting on our phone, sadly they don't list the Eris on their compatibility list. They do list the HTC Hero but I'm not sure if they use the same USB Controller or not. Someone far more educated in this field can help with that.
Googling around a little pulled up a few discussions that appeared to indicate that the eris is a compatible usb controller. But I tried flashing it (one KayosFroyo v32) and as mentioned I get a error during flash... Hopefully someone can get it working.
What exactly is this?

According to the PSFreedom compatibility chart development for the Eris is "In Progress." It appears that a custom kernel will have to be built to support the exploit, presumably not too difficult.

well from what i read from the github tracker @ http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom
he says: This linux kernel module should work on the N900 (RX51 machine).
It uses the musb driver to access the address of the usb and modify it.
If you want to port this, have a look at psfreedom_machine.c and implement the
missing functions for your device. Make it compile-time #ifdef and modify
the Makefile.
To compile, type 'make' inside scratchbox.
dont know how to do this just hoping this will help someone with porting it
UPDATE: just found a small how-to on how to port it if anyone understands this and/or how to do it all ps3+eris owners will forever be in your debt
Q: How can I port it to a new device.
A: Well, first, you need to figure out what controller your device uses, in the case of the N900, it’s ‘musb’..
Then go to the driver code for that controller (probably in drivers/usb/gadget) and look for ‘SET_ADDRESS’. In the case of musb, it was in drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget_ep0.c. In there it was setting the address to the USB device, so just copy that code into the psfreedom_machine.c to allow setting the address, and add a similar function to be able to retreive the address.
Then add a function to return 0 or 1 depending on whether the controller supports HIGH, FULL or LOW speed mode (go to usb_gadget_register_driver for your controller, and in the first lines, it should validate the speed argument, it will tell you which ones are acceptable), set LOW speed mode to return TRUE only if FULL speed isn’t available .
Finally, add a function to return the endpoint names.. it will usually be something like ‘epXin’ and ‘epXout’ (where X is the endpoint number), or “epXin-bulk”, etc.. look at how the driver initializes its endpoints or grep for “->name” in the file to find where it sets it…
Edit: the controller the eris uses is MSM72K
any new developments on this? i see it's now listed on the PSfreedom compatibility list as in progress.
h t t p://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
As of this morning the website psfreedom.com is not available as well as the link for the chart is broken. I did many tests with my eris, using a CM6 Froyo rom to Other roms that were ported from other phones with different pse-enable zips. The best I was able to get to was the boot screen with the 3 skateboard androids. That setup was a CM6 2.2 rom with the zip files for the HTC Wildfire. Every other setup the zip failed to flash thru recovery. Thats the best I got so far.
EDIT
cant sleep so I tried to get onto psfreedom website and it is back up. It has been ported to the motorla droid. hopefully soon we will be so lucky
posted in another thread but here it is again.
I dont think we will be seeing this on the eris for sometime as the USB driver used is actually the msm_hsusb driver. This was verified last night when i was in #psfreedom where someone was trying to get psfreedom on an eris and kept running into a problem and it turned out to be because of the msm_husb driver was in use. so until that msm_husb driver is working with psfreedom we are probably SOL.
This is now working on the Eris i tested it for the dev waiting for him to officially release it should be this afternoon.
If what your saying is true I will name my children after you and the dev LOL
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
For the love of humanity don't.
Any way you can list what you did try and where I can get the files needed to try this myself... maybe with instructions on how? I very much want to try this and have been patiently waiting for days now.
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/Device_compatibility_list
have fun guys all credit goes to the Dev rgov and the other devs working on psfreedom
I've carefully read the directions on the PSFreedom Wiki site for Droid Eris. My first question is this:
How can I achieve S-off in the bootloader? My Eris is rooted and I am currently running KaosFroyo v34. When I reboot to bootloader, it shows S-on and I cannot fastboot.
yeah i had the same exact issue that's why i made the note in the wiki. i essentially had to go through and redo the root following jcases post here.
hope it's not against the rules to link this......
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/121597-how-install-engineering-bootloader.html
Trying now... will keep you updated. Thank you.
Question: Since my phone is already rooted, do I just start at step 6 and flash PB00IMG.zip? To be honest, these directions are kinda confusing to me. I tried this method months ago and was never able to fastboot... maybe I am doing something wrong. coffindancer, I appreciate any and all help you are providing and hopefully you can assist me in getting this PSFreedom up and running.
i think you can start with PB00IMG.ZIP and it will go ahead and reflash the boot loader so it's S-OFF im not positive though. Im a freak and just followed the steps pretty much step by step maybe someone with more experience can explain it better.
So even though you were already rooted, did you still flash the engtools.zip? Or did you skip step 2?
skipped step 2 i believe.
also the dev is redoing the wiki so if you don't see the link for the files just be patient.
Alright, so I was getting bored of the HD2 and the crappy Windows 6.5, and wanted to switch over to Android. I have all the files, and go through linux, and finally get Android working. However, when I turn off my phone, its goes BACK to windows mobile, how do i fix this? Please help!

try this simple steps i always follow, this has never failed me
but if you already have the latest 3.14 Stock ROM, skip the HSPL part.
remember, whatever android build you are testing, it is always worthwhile to use
the recommended winmo ROM and radio the build creator suggested to use.
Thank you so much!
Wait, so i installed the Speed N' Boost on my Leo, NOW do i install the android OS?
of course it goes back to winmo when you restart.....
its a wm device, your running android from the sd card.....
use jmd dual boot cab to select windows or android at boot up or use EBL to autoboot into android
I now know the Allwinner A13 is a stripped down version of the Allwinner A10, to be clearer the specifications of my Tablet (from UniFlash and AnTuTu Benchmark) are as follows:
Manufacturer: None
Brand: softwinners
CPU hardware: sun5i
CPU model: ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3, NEON)
CPU frequency: 60.0 ~ 1008.0 MHz
Screen resolution: 800 x 444
GPU vendor: Mali-400 MP
GPU version (OpenGL): OpenGL ES 2.0
RAM size: 512 MB DDR2 RAM
Knowing this, I used UniFlash to make a backup of the firmware bt after using UniFlash to try and load a CM9 Rom on to the Tablet, the Tablet died. After alot of googling I discovered AllWinner based chipsets use Live Suite (sometimes called LiveSuit) to flash firmwares on to the device.
To Flash firmware on to the device you need to follow the attached instructions ((http://dragondevs.com/viewtopic.php?f=159&t=390):
Download LiveSuite (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Live-Suit-Pack.shtml)
Install Live Suite
Start Live Suite
Select the Live Suite image file (folder icon
Turn device off (to be sure hold power button for 12 - 20 seconds)
Hold "Volume Up" button down
Connect the device to your PC (while still holding "Volume Up" down)
Start pressing the power button (you may need to do this once a second for 5/6 seconds)
If you haven't installed windows will ask to install a driver for a device (Dive Id will be something like Vf73465789123465435_Id, if the device is in the right mode, A13-MID, ADB-Interface indicates the tablet has connected in anouther mode).
Once this has finished LiveSuite will detect the device and a wizard will flash the firmware for you.
I have found a working firmware which according to AnTuTU Benchmark gives my tablet a rating of 3047 (see firmware section), this is on the higher end of reported A13-MID tablets
I have found out how to install CWM on to the device via SaussageMod (http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/29916-scriptmod-for-allwinner-a1x-platforms/). This solution is untested, further more it may be unnessary futher investigation has shown this website (https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/2/topics/73) has developed a way of create Live Suite images. This is simplier than installing clockworkmod recovery,
I tried to load the following images on to my tablet and failed completely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31043317 It didn't work and forced me to do a firmware refresh.
My other step for the day was to create Ubuntu 10.10 installation then I began following this guide to construct an Xperia Play CM9 Rom/Kernel. once I have created a working ROM (I own an Xperia Play). I'm hoping to be able to modify the kernel to include the relevent A13 drivers, but one step at a time.
TODO
Create Ubuntu Partition
Follow Xperia Play CM9 Rom/Kernel Guide and create working rom (test on my Xperia Play)
Download CT repository (https://github.com/christiantroy) and compare with Xperia Play CM9 rom
Find the relevent drivers from https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner leaked source
Retrieve offical MALI 400 MP drivers (parts of it have been released) compare with leaked source
Use UniFlash backup of original Rom along with LiveSuite image creation to try and restore original firmware (see If I understand it properly)
Examine Build.prop find out why original firmware displayed ina phone layout and new one is in tablet mode (potentially reference CM supported Tablets).
Attempt to compile a A13 (Sun5i) based rom
Create a google code page to hold all of these thoughts properly.
Left blank will include rom/firmwares here for future reference

I have the same tablet and it would be very cool if you succeeded in your attempt to create a CM9 rom for it. I tried ROM made by Tragidy from this thread but there is a problem with touchscreen driver, ROM booted successfully but I could not even unlock the screen cause touchscreen did not work. I finaly flashed rom DCPAD2121.zip using livesuite which I belive is the original ROM that came with tablet and it worked.
I installed clockwordmod using sausagemod successfully, but there is a big problem - no hardware "back" key and only volume up works.
novo7tools.apk works OK for reboot, reboot to recovery or shutdown.
syncing
Thanks, it's slow going at the moment, I only spending ~1 hour each day on it and at the moment trying to sync the CM9 source is painful (it keeps timing out, due to "remote side corruption").
I figure I would start there as all the firmware images I can find are ICS roms (meaning the drivers must be ICS).
Hi, I have the same tablet but I cannot find the firwmare DCPAD2121.zip

I tried that ROM, on my tablet after flashing the ROM it got stuck in a boot loop. It might be an idea to steal the config he created. The ROM is pre CM9 release. The A10 Flash kitchen software seems to work. I was hoping on producing a complete Live Suit image that people could flash (figuring our what CT has done on the A10 took a while).
Still having fun trying to sync the repositories, given up on trying to use a Debian VM, I'll will install full Ubuntu on a drive tomorrow, hopefully that will help fix things. It doesn't help most of the guides I can find are out of date and I keep having to make corrections.
I've also uploading all firmware I can find to my dropbox (at 200mb each they will take a while), I won't with tools simply because others ask you not too.
The Dropbox firmware was out of date when I tried to download it sun5i_android_a13-pfdq88_en_D06 firmware worked well for me, the firmwares are located at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bzjt7mzuftwz79f/nt7mRMPDj1
Cyanogenmod 9 in not working for you. Did you made data and cache wipe? Can you send me logcat and dmesg output?
You can`t steal my config, you have to remember about credits, and other stuff.
Creating a wiki is useless, there is already wiki for allwinner products, so better update info on it.
Github is better than google code to keep sources.
Using Livesuit=Windows, I hate dual booting just for flashing, Clockwork Recovery or modified SDcard with uboot is better solution.
Current kernel is not working well, with sun5i.
Using VM is stupid, because building rom takes a lot of time on quad core pc without it.

I wiped the caches I couldn't send a logcat or dmesg as the device simply boot looped.
I've been providing links to threads whenever I come across others work, I'm new to android rom development for me this is a research effort which will hopefully produce something cool for my £50 tablet. Basically my day job has switched to developing UI's and I am looking for something new to learn (instead of why is Vaadin, Guice, SWT, Javascript, etc... is putting that button there).
Said dev career has also made me hate Git with a passion (not as bad as perforce but still) since Git integrates poorly with Visual Studio and Eclipse and you end up getting everyone overwriting each others changes. The idea of google code is simply because it makes a good platform for projects and you can use things like git with it. I didn't know about an Allwinner wiki, with all of my Googling I haven't come across it, where is it?
I don't care about build times I'm just researching, alas Debian has caused me enough problems so I've installed ubuntu on to a old disk I had lying around. Considering I've just tried to install Ubuntu via a Net install CD and it has screwed up the GRUB installation (nicely taking out my windows partition as well) can you blame me?
The reason for nabbing the config (and the Xperia Play and Christian Troys) is to understand how they work. Over the years I've found most Open Source software documentation is poor unless you have a set level of knowledge about it already.
Lastly I like automation, I want things to just work. Livesuit does that since I am normally a windows user, I as hoping in the distant future once I understand the build process to set up a Jenkins server to do it and create the whole lot automatically (via the Allwinner flash kitchen). In the even longer term I would like to update FlashTool to do what LiveSuit does. In the near term (next couple of months) I just want to be able to build a CM9 image.
All android and kernel source are keep on git, so changing it is stupid.
This is allwinner wiki: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10 you can also update http://elinux.org/Hack_A10_devices
Everyone use CWM and it's standard for unofficial firmware/ROMS

Hi all,
So I've tried compiling from 4.1.2 source for my A13 Emgeton Consul 3
It boots up and gets to the CM10 boot animation but it doesn't get past it.
I can adb at first boot until adb stops.
logcat from boot attempt:

My build.prop:
http://pastebin.com/Ap9M1tjW
Any pointers as to why it doesn't get past the boot animation?
Hello guys! I know it's not he proper place here to pose my question, but I am definitely at loss!
Do you happen to know if there is a way of rooting this tablet? And if so, does everything work properly after that?

I've gone a bit quiet on the development front, setting up a file/media server & samba domain server to power my home network is eating up my time.
My dropbox contains every image I could find for the tablet, as mentioned previously you can root the device using saussage mod, although my device and every one of those images is already rooted. You can prove this by installing super user.
Sassage mod's clockworkmod recovery doesn't work for me and I was looking at the backup tool in order to generate my own one. If you are aimed at any development, let me know and I will update the main thread
Many have said that they have "lost" "forget" to take backup from original rom. So, i'd like to have backup from my original to go back if/when something goes wrong. How do i do that? What software i need. Do i need to root?
This is from my info sheet:

android version 6.0.1 ?????
Baseband 1.5

I just installed OpenVPN installer and installed the OpenVPN binary in the system/xbin
After that I tried to connect to my university's VPN but when it tried to connect, the tablet lost wifi connection and ever since it doesnt connect to any available wifi network!! I manually deleted the OpenVPN binary, but problem remains!
Do you know where could I find the stock ROM for this tablet in order to re-flash it?
Do you have any other proposals? Anything will help!
Thank you very much!!
Welcome to my tutorial !
You can find others tutorials related to the Cube i6 :
Install windows 10
Install Android 4.4.4 (Stock & RemixOS)
I received the magnificent AllDoCube i6 Air 3G last week, and i've been struggling since to get updates,
firmware flashing and all of that working, I searched the whole web and the drivers/Firmwares are nowhere to find,
but on some chinese proxy-needed sites sometimes, or baidu which is a pain in the a** to download from.
So I decided to share the ways to update this tablet at all costs (heh, no worries, -NORMALLY- it wont brick)
Disclamer: This process might contain ROM hacking, this is for advanced users.
THIS TUTORIAL HAS BEEN TESTED ON i632GB1537XXXXXXX MODEL, AND WORKS ON IT,
WHEREAS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT i632GB1522XXXXXXX MODEL BRICKED UPON DOING IT,
SO PLASE DO IT CAREFULLY, IF THE INSTALL VERSION IS 202 YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE TRIYING AS IT COULD BRICK!
Software included may be subject to copyright.
Flash your device at your own risk. Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
What you need:
Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)
Flash Drive (256Mo +)
OTG cable
USB Hub (3 Ports recommended)
EFI BIOS Firmware
DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE BEFORE STARTING SO EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE WHEN YOU DO IT
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8YPw4HjmqNCZktOZy1OTEN2ZVE&usp=sharing
Get on the drive, go to your device folder, select the wanted version inside BIOS folder
What to do :
1.) Start by plugging the usb drive into your computer, and format it to FAT32 using any formatting tool
2.) Now you need to uncompress the downloaded firmware :
you will find a "Firmware_X.X.X" folder inside, take all of its content, and extract it to your freshly formatted drive.
here's what looks like the root of your usb:
3.) Your USB Drive is ready, now just plug the OTG cable to your tablet, plug your HUB onto that OTG
and fill it with your keyboard and the USB Drive just created.
4.) Press power button until you see the screen backlight, when you see it repeatidely smash "Esc" key on the connected keyboard.
You will see the bios 6 square configuration screen.
Hit "Boot Manager" and select your USB in the list.
5.) The tablet should now boot from your USB, booting to a UEFI Shell. Depending on your device, it might be either 64 or IA32.
Now you just let startup.nsh script do the firmware flashing init, it should drive you to a flashing BIOS screen.
6.) Follow instructions on screen and let the tool flash your BIOS automatically.
Once done, the tablet will shut down.
Congrats! You successfully updated your BIOS !
It is my first tutorial, i will post some photos of steps in the future so come back, the guide will be better soon !
Regards,
Max.
Hi,
I have bought the Cube i6 Air 3G a week ago and i'm still waiting for it to arrive.
Have you update the win 8.1 to win 10?
Does everything works correctly?
Regards
re
Hi, I successfully updated the BIOS as of now,
I changed the bootloader animation to nexus one on Cube ROM.
I also manager to boot on Android x86 but it had too many drivers issues.
Still, 4.4.4 stock cube is working and i reflashed to a new partition scheme of 9Go
and i'm currently testing some win10 pen drives for install, will keep you updated.
Édit: oh you were asking about thé tablet? Weil jack has default, charging takes hours, glass is plastic, firmware is pain but hell this is a goodamn good tablet for its price !
regards,
Max

I achieved installing Win10 x32 Pro on Cube i6 Through hacking WinPE installation environnement, but now i'm struggling finding the drivers. touchscreen, battery and vital things like hd graphics are not working as of now. Will post a tutorial on how to install Win10 in given time when i'll get out of this mess!
My tablet has arrived yesterday.
From what the little i've used it, it has good performance especially in android.
A lot faster compared to my last android tablet (Cube U39GT).
Something i didn't like was the size of the icons and text in android, my next step is to root and change the dpi.
Regarding windows 10, i found in a chinese tablets blog with win 8 and 10 drivers.
I haven't tested it, but as soon as i find it again, i will let you know where to download them from.
You haven't tried the normal win 10 upgrade? From the microsoft icon?

I did not try anything as i like "stock" versions of my windows, but tonight i got it working all the way !
My cube i6 is running perfectly windows 10 and oh my god what a paradise it is ! The tablet experience got way better onto that version.
Can you try to update from the icon you are talking about ? i'd be curious if it works. anyway, i'm currently writing+uploading for the win10
tutorial for this tablet, so you'll be able to flash it late tonight, or tomorrow.
EDIT: The dpi is correct in android, only the status bar icons and some other are not in correct dpi but that is KitKat issue I guess. still interested in resolving that though. I'm currently hacking android lollipop ROM also, i'll keep you tuned on that. For rooting, i used KingRoot, it worked, but after a reboot, it tells me "root" is wrecked, so i guess there is some investigation to do there, but I was mainly focused on getting windows 10 ENGLISH STOCK version running to share it with you guys.
EDIT2: Still uploading, but tutorial is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-how-to-install-windows-10-t3252042 and it should work on any Z37xx powered device. Enjoy !
Hello,
I'm using this tablet from 2 days now. great !
But, i got wifi problem after sleep : wifi chip cut and never found network anymore.
has to reboot, and all goes right.
same in win and android.
Did you hear about this ? many poeple complain about this.
Any trick or advice ? Is this bios correct this ? Is your bios work on i6 3g dual-boot ? (there is 2 bios for dual boot ?...)
Thanks !
Hi,
I've also have the same problem with the wifi.
I usualy disconnect the wifi and reconnect it, but sometimes it doesnt work and have to reboot the tablet.
I've not noticed it in windows but maybe it's because i'm using the tablet a lot more in android.
I've tryed to update to win 10 using the microsoft icon, but i got an error and was unable to complete the upgrade.

Hello, i have such a tablet for now about 6 Months and it is awesome so far (i often use win8.1).
My Tablet has also DUAL Boot with Android 4 and win 8.1 Bing.
I tried to upgrade to win10 but i also got a message that the partition can not be resized by windows. So i cant upgrade to win 10 with the normal tool from microsoft.
Is there any Solution yet to get this to work?
Anyway, i tried to boot from usb (win8.1 / ubuntu / gparted) but it is not working at all. When i try to boot true windows Advanced Boot Options, the BIOS says that there is no USB device.
When i use the EFI Shell to mount the USB Stick i can see that the BIOS has recognized the USB Stick.
I think that is all very strange, but i will try to update the BIOS soon. The serialnumber is not the same as from @stalker2106 but i will try it.
I hope there is a way to get win 10 working, but Ubuntu would be even better for performance.
Greetings from Germany.

Check windows 10 Post, there is no need to update BIOS to fix this error, your USB has to be in GPT partition style, check answer on the other thread
But usually the bios update should work, as it did on my tablet. But why bother taking risk if you can get it working without it
Hi,
I have sucessfully updated to win10
I have bios 203 in my cube and serial i632gb1510xxxxxxxxxxx, does anybody have tried to update to 206 on such setup ?
What are the chances that I will brick my device ?
I have downloaded latest Cube i6 roms from cube site (may 2015) . There are two bios-es which have to be installed in chronological order.
Shall I do it first, and then try to update to 206 ?
Edit: I was not patient and tried it on my own.I have successfully updated bios and tablet has started to both android and windows
I will perform some functional tests afterwards.
Actual steps :
I have first downgraded bios to 201(provided here )
Flashed bios1 from link provided
Flashed bios2 from link provided
Flashed bios 206 from guide in first post
Edit2:
I have tested basic functionalities like : Gyro-sensors, WIFI, GPS, 3G network and yet everything works like charm.
Maybe a placebo, however I have the feel that android runs like two times faster
I do suggest to update the windows, however I take no responsibility if you will brick your device. Even if the setup is like mine, neither if it differs
Regards
Why do you first downgrade to 201?
What do you mean with bios1 and bios2?
Many thanks and question
Hello Stalker,
I am new here and i want to
thank you for the instructions!
I bought a cube i6 from china.
It is the 'i6 air remix',
So it should have only Android on it.
When it arrived. it didn't function.
The only think that happens is booting to theEFI-shell.
I could switch between Android and Windows in the boot settings.
But Android did not boot.
I have updated the bios with your instructions
now firmware 2.0.6 is installed.
But still i can not boot Android.
I found a few flash tools and android for the cube i6 .
But i don’t know what is the right version flash tool I have to use.
Maybe you have advise or the right android and flash tool in your google drive download area?
Kind regards and many thanks in advance.

The truth is, the 206 BIOS provided is hacked off i6 remix repository from cube, so i guess there is no big deal flashing it on your device as it works on regular i6.
Moreover, you can use any version of the flash tool as long as you flash a correct rom for your device, which i would suggest to download from official cube repository or geekbuying or so.
Android Geecbuying
Hello Stalker,
Ok. Thank you!
I will try Geecbuying.
Hopefully the windows drivers will function.
There isn't a way to flash from USB I suppose?
Greetings
Hi, well, actually, you should flash over USB with à windows computer. MFT by Intel is recommended. I shall make some tutorial about Android installation and partition resizing.
flash and resize partitions
That is super. When you want to do so.
I was indeed wondering or there would be one android partition on the tablet or two partitions (one for android, one for windows).
I also questioned myself how to see that there are partitions.
In earlier times when I was working with a pc, i use F-disk or partition-magic for this kind of work.
But on the tablet I do not have a clue...
So if you could make me wiser on this, I would be very thankful.
Maybe you could boot on some gparted liveusb? Or inside efi shell some commands could help

no particular reason, I just wanted to know, which version of bios is in the latest firmware provided by geekbuying
Additional condition in my decision mechanism was that my serial did not match mentioned ones in w10 thread from stalker, so somehow I have used sleepy sloopy logic and tried to minimalize the risk (I know it have no rational reason and logic behind it at all)
Therefore, I tried the ones from geekbuying repository, to be sure to have latest provided from "official source".
