Dear community,
there's a serious problem with my Nokia Lumia 800 which I've bought September last year in China mainland (currently I'm in Germany). The device itself is beautiful and awesome , everything works flawless, EXCEPT:
In the language settings I can only select between English, Simplified and traditional chinese. Even when I click on English, there are still controls that are completely shown in chinese. There doesn't seem to be any other language available. Even the keyboard layout is uncustomizable - and that's a problem for me because I'm used to the German keyboard layout etc.
I googled for a long time and end up with the result that it isn't possible. But a few days ago I've discovered this forum and found a thread showing how to flash the firmware with different region firmwares. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735874)
So I followed the steps. Everything goes the right way until it begins to flash. It starts to check (checking mode) and then it comes..... An error message that says that the Nokia Care could not establish a connection to my Lumia. I tried the same procedure on many other computers I have with various operating systems (Windows x64, x86 and Vista x86), always getting the same error message.
I followed these steps (of course all required drivers were installed successfully):
Disconnect the USB cable from the device (I did)
Turn off the phone (Yes, has already been turned off when I started flashing!!)
Reconnect while pressing the VOL up button (Also did)
Click Retry
Pray that it works
Hopeless... I click cancel, the program shows a Message box with an error caused by clicking cancel and when I disconnect my Lumia and press the power off/on button, it just boot normally... (dafuu??)
I've REALLY tried everything I could and I'm really close to despair. Is there an easier way to do change the language? Is there anything I did wrong?
:angel: Help is greeeeeeeeatly appreciated, pleeeeease help me with my problem, thank you sooooooo much in advance!!!! :good:
BTW: Sorry for my bad English, even if I tried to do my best I know there are some serious grammar mistakes

Hi Frank,
so, first of all you could check if you have a Lumia 800 with qualcomm or DLOAD bootloader.
To do this:
1) turn off you phone
2) push VOL-Up button (and keep it pushing)
3)push power button (and keep it pushing) until you feel a short vibration
4) connect your phone to your computer
it should now show the installation of qualcomm or dload lumia
but be careful: If you have qualcomm Lumia 800, you will get a message of formating your drive. DO NOT DO THAT!!! Klick cancel!! otherwise, you'll brick your phone.
If you have qualcomm, you're damn lucky and you can flash custom roms!
I'll recommend my custom rom FunkyROM v1.0 :good:
if you like, you can also write a pm to me, i'm also german
but usually, we should discuss this here in the thread, that other people with the same problem are getting a solution
oh, btw: grammer doesn't matter at all

Hi, thank you veeery much for your quick reply. Hope you didn't became inpatient - I had to complete a physics project and a presentation (Präsentationsprüfung). They had more priority
I also prefer discussing on the thread
Maybe I'm one of those damn lucky people because when I wanted to procced the firmware flash, Windows began to install a Qualcomm whatever driver and failed to install because it's missing? And what does the "lucky" really means?
I took a deeper look at your custom ROM. First of all I just want to thank you and let you know how awesome you and your work is. Now is there a manual with steps for beginners? (Even I'm a hacker on iOS, I'm a super noob on Windows Phone -> the perfect German word: "[email protected]" )
Thaaaanks alot in advance,
Frank
Sorry, I've another question:
What should I do with the *.nb file?
Thanks!!!

Hi there,
i've attached Dewe's Nokia Lumia Downloader 0.5 in the second post of this thread:
[CustomROM] FunkyROM v2.0 - Lumia 900 RM-823 - All official lang [updated 20.03.2013]
Just open the tool and klick the "download" button, to flash the .nb file to your phone.
If your phone doesn't actually have wp7.8, it might be possible that your phone is not booting without updated amss & adsp files, which are on partition 3 of the phone. If this happens, flash these files to partition 3 of your phone using "dd" in ubuntu: wp7.8 amss & adsp
But before doing anything: make a backup of all 9 partitions of the phone!! see this thread for information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27120180&postcount=1

Okay, my phone is on WP7.8 so it doesn't sound like a problem. Thanks alot, I'll try it now!
hmm I have just been nosy and tested the check that lordmaxey suggested for which loader I have, the lappy flashed up it was installing a couple of things, and now my lumia 800 is completely dead, doesn't charge either now what the hell went wrong

that's no good... You probably clicked "OK" to format the drive by mistake... If you had qualcomm and clicked OK to format, your phone is dead.
Sorry.
You can also try to push the power button for more than 10 seconds. If you're lucky, you can switch on your device after that again...
hi lordmaxey,
no I was very careful on that score there was no indication to ask for a format, there were only two flashes of loading something suggesting it was loading a driver or something, and I did also try the long press restart to no avail, and as I said I even put it on charge to see if it was alive in that direction but no.
however I am now breathing a sigh of relief, as I reverted to the old ploy of if all else fails pull the battery, and almost jumping up and down with glee it restarted, I was not looking forward to telling my wife it was dead I can tell you.

Hello, i recently updated my x10 mini pro ato 2.1 on the sony app for pc, it has been very buggy, when im on messaging and go to slide the keyboard it will take ages to turn the screen then sometimes split the screen or jusr crash and go to a black screen and i have to pull the battery, i mamanged to get cwm on there but cant find a 1.6 stoock rom zip to install with after spending hours searching i dont know what to do thanks
Try the repair option in PC Companion for a fresh install of 2.1, that might solve your problems, make sure to backup your data first
I tried that it still has exactly the same problem, I want it back to the stock 1.6 Luke firmware it was on before but can find it anyway, I looked in the mini pro roms and it didn't seem to have it and its all very confusing with the keyboard lay outs aswell I'm not sure to ignore them or do they get installed with a new rom? Stressed! Lol
Or if possible you knew what was causing the phone to crash? It works fine untilled I slide out the keyboard then it crashes, if there is a fox for this? Or any other uses are experienceing this?
I guess, since it's an official update from SE.. you could take your phone back to the shop if you still have warranty and see if they can fix it

I would but its old now and i dont think its covered under warrenty, is there any easy way to fix this issue or downgrade back to 1.6?
well... i would have one suggestion maybe try upgrading it, if it's quite old and not covered by warranty you might have some luck with a 2.2 or 2.3 rom from the mini pro development forum Unfortunately downgrading isn't usually something people do here, although there is one thread in the mini pro development section that deals with that, I'll see if i can find it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8981453&postcount=1
There it is, i hope it's of use to you. provided you have a u20i, if your model is diffferent (u20a) it might fail, but you can still repair it from PC Companion if it does.
I saw this before but thought since its nl version would it be differnt to the uk version? and i couldnt find envirmental setting on windows 7 and yes it is a u20i
As long as the basebands are the same it should work ok, you can change the language at first boot and i think NL and UK have compatible networks, so no problem there either.
I didn't download the Java Development Kit (JDK) in order to flash my phone, just the JRE and the latest version of flashtool will do, and you already have the usb drivers, via PC Companion, so forget about the JDK bit, just push the downloaded firmware into the flashtool\firmwares folder and flash it to your phone. Hope it works out for you that way
Okay thankyou for your ime i will try this when i get home
You're welcome
If i flash this sotware to my phone, if there is some compatibility issues can i use the repair tool to put it back to the uk stock software im on now or will it put it to the NL software?
you can change the build.prop to resemble your model i guess...
find the line in your current build.prop that says something like this: (build.prop is in the system folder)
ro.product.name=U20i_1238-0199
and make a note of the numbers (in this case 1238-0199, but yours will probably be different)
Then, after you flash the new firmware, replace all instances of that number to what is in yours now (you need to root your phone to achieve this, using root-explorer to find and edit your build.prop is the easiest way).
After that, run SEUS or PC Companion to repair your phone and you will get your native firmware again.
But you only need to do this if the firmware doesn't work for you 'as is'. I hope for you it will be ok.
Okay thanks trying this method now (fingerscrossed)
which JRE file do i download? heres the list ;
Linux x86 (32-bit) 20.46 MB jre-7u4-linux-i586.rpm
Linux x86 (32-bit) 32.77 MB jre-7u4-linux-i586.tar.gz

Solaris SPARC (64-bit) 12.38 MB jre-7u4-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz
Solaris x64 (64-bit) 9.38 MB jre-7u4-solaris-x64.tar.gz
Windows x86 Online (32-bit) 0.85 MB jre-7u4-windows-i586-iftw.exe
Windows x86 Offline (32-bit) 20.08 MB jre-7u4-windows-i586.exe
Windows x64 (64-bit) 20.85 MB jre-7u4-windows-x64.exe
i downloade the 20.85 mb file for windows 32bit i skippe dthe envimental bit like you said now i cant find the .bat file where i press one for flashing my phone?
Did you download flashtool? the latest version? should be 0.7.1.0
Download from Here
Install
Put the firmware in the flashtool\firmwares folder
Run Flashtool.exe
Push the Leftmost button (that looks like a thunderbolt)
Choose flashmode
Select the right firmware (don't know if there's anything else in there, you could have a few options)
Follow the instructions onscreen (unplug phone, turn off phone, press back-button on phone, plug phone in, you know the drill)
It will flash...
Flashtool was updated from when the guide was written and is much easier to use now
Yes I did this, the phone kept turning on after about ten secounds after I pressed flash, it said check mpt mode is off? I don't know how to do that
MTP Mode is only for 2011 and later devices, ours is 2010, it doesn't have that option so don't worry about that
You are holding the backbutton while plugging the phone in right? the dialog telling you to do that should disappear almost immediately and flashtool should start flashing...
Yes I am holding it, do I have to hold it through the whole process?
hello everybody,
The phone in question:
K-Touch U86 owns a 4.5-inch QHD screen with 960*540 pixel display, and QRD MSM8625Q SKUD Quad Core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM, and 4GB storage. K-Touch U86 installs Android 4.1 OS.

You can use EMMC_DownLoad_V1.2.3 to redownload the bootloader.

Also this Baseband:
593115_8654_WCDMA_V2011.zip
1. Extract EMMC_DownLoad_V1.2.3.rar and 593115_8654_WCDMA_V2011.zip
2. Go to EMMC_DownLoad_V1.2.3 folder ad run EMMC_DownLoad_V1.2.3.exe

4. Tick the DownLoad Bootloader options
5. Above the Download buuton enter the COMPORT number. In your case is COM11, so just write down "11".
6. Connect the phote to PC, and Press Download Button.
7. When the download process is finish, just continue to flashing the system with QUALFAST.
sorry for the delay but i am getting the following errors:
5x FastDownLoad Fail-11-time:26s
not sure why & does not provide a reason why, just repeats the same error in the following style path + error code
any other strategies tools out there?

yes it is the right number, however after that fail code the COM11 port changes status from qdloader to none, after removing and re-inserting the cable re-displays COM11 qdloader.
not sure why that happens looks like it is unrecoverable at present, well i shll wait until next mobile phone in the mean time back to the huawei ascend Y100 for now

[ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED! - Download and use "ROOT Genius" to root this particular brand of tablet. I have personally tested it and can confirm it works on Firmware revisions: v1.0.07 and v1.0.9! Thanks to "brugos" for finding the fix and bringing it to my attention!]
Hey guys
I do hope I have posted this question in the correct forum, if not I do apologise.
As you can probably tell from the title, I am looking for a way to root my 9.7 inch Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7 tablet (Model: PMP5297C_QUAD).
I have been looking for a way to root this since December, and even though I have found several articles (non English) explaining how to root this device (and have been through all the relevant threads I could find regarding my device on XDA), all of the guides have been for firmware v1.0.3 - my tablet is v1.0.7. I went ahead and tried it anyway, and although CWM installed and launched fine, installing the SuperSU binary via CWM did nothing. It installs, but nothing appears in Android when I reboot, and installing SuperSU from Play Store alerts me that the SuperSU binaries are not installed.
I tried "Kingo Android ROOT" and that wouldn't even detect the device, which isn't surprising as it isn't listed on their website. However somebody on a similar thread (on XDA) suggested that the OP (who has the same tablet as myself) at least try it. I did try it, and sadly it doesn't work.
Device information:
Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum 9.7" Tablet
Model Number: PMP5297C_QUAD
Firmware: v1.0.7 (December 2013)
FW Build Number: PMP5297C_QUAD_20131204_V1.0.7
Android Version: 4.2.2
If there is anybody out there who has any idea what to try, then I am willing to listen. If anybody needs any other information, I am more than willing to give it
Cheers guys
Prestigio multipad 4 quantum 9.7
The same here..trying to find a way to root for the new firmware...still haven't got anything...
Yeah... doesn't seem to be a very popular brand of tablet :/ Which is a shame as its pretty damn snappy with the v1.0.7 firmware. I wanna get a resolution changer to work, but none I have tried will work without rooting. Only wanna drop the res for better gaming framerates lol
yeah agree...doesn't seem very popular... I guess we should wait some time more.... did you try rooting with the old firmware and then updating to the new firmware? I guess it wouldn't work anyway....
Nope... from past experience rooting phones updating the firmware breaks the root as v1.0.7 replaced the entire OS if I remember...
Tried the root for v1.0.3 while using v1.0.7... ClockWorkMod installed and works fine, but the SuperSU binary doesn't work/install It was a gamble incase it screwed anything up but luckily it didn't - however, it also didn't work
And yeah, looks like we will need to wait a while longer... I do hope someone out there somewhere knows what to do lol Just gotta find them or wait for them to find us lol
Hey dude...you still haven't find root? If not try with root genious... I got root now on my tablet...running the latest firmware 1.0.9
Regards!
Ah man! You are AMAZING! lol
I almost gave up trying to find a root - until now!
I had no idea that there was a new FW released a few weeks back, just updated it and downloaded "ROOT Genius" - worked first time!
Excellent work there dude, thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to share it with me, and the rest of the people out there who have been in the same situation as us who are still looking for a fix!
Now we have it! Excellent work!
You welcome!
Just curious what are you going to do to your tablet having root now?
Do you know if there is any posibility to install any rom or something like that?
Also knowing Prestigio I guess would be hard to find some updates hmmm
Hey man
Well the main reason I wanted to root first of all was to adjust the resolution of the display, it has a beautiful high resolution display as you know but some games... the FPS leave a lot to be desired. After doing some reading, some posts suggested lowering the display resolution to increase FPS - and the only way to do that was to root the device.
I did try one app, but it went a bit wrong lol. I was hoping it would readjust the resolution and resize the interface accordingly... instead it ended up changing the resolution, but the interface stayed MASSIVE. The device was inoperable and keep getting a "UI Error" constantly popping up making it unusable at all lol. Had to reflash and re-root so I am looking for another option
Beyond that, I have used custom ROMs in the past on my Android phones, but as far as I know, I believe there is only one ROM out there for our tablet and its based on CyanogenMOD I think... I may be wrong, but I thought I read something somewhere about it. Apart from that though, I am not really sure what else I will do now it is rooted Will open the door to some other apps for certain, but the OS itself seems fine and since the new firmware (v1.0.9) - it feels even faster than before!
What do you have in mind?
Yeah I noticed the issue of FPS in some games.... Well I didn't do many things yet I instaled Xposed and some modules.... and also I removed the navingation bar...is just that I dont like the way the navigation bar and status bar are together... thats why I was searching for another rom also which could have not the Ice cream sandwich bar.
I've found this: crewrktablets.arctablet.com where there are some roms with kit kat that may be work for our tablet but nothing confirmed yet...so I'm not sure if I'm gonna try it
and yeah with the new firmware is much faster thats cool.... but I'm almost sure will be forever in 4.2.2
It worked with MULTIPAD 4 QUANTUM 10.1PMP5101C-QUAD with last firmware too.
Hello,

You've got some drivers here: http://storage29-free.uloz.to/Ps;Hs...7c-cwm-v6-0-3-zip?bD&c=1822785863&De&redirs=1
It's also root and cwm. But there is driver folder too. Even for windows 8. It might work.
Here are some instructions maybe you did something wrong
1. On tablet set the usb-connection-style to 'mass storage'. Settings, Memory-3 dots in the upper right corner- choose Mass storage
2. Turn off the tablet.
3. Connect the usb cable with PC and tablet.
4. HOLD DOWN the (volume +) key and turn the device on(still holding the vol.+) until you get a notice(driver not successfuly installed) on your PC.
5. Use the Manual(found in the downloaded folder) to install a proper driver. Or.: Go to Start-My Computer-Right click on it-Properties-Device Manager-Other devices-Unknown device-Update Driver- In the window browse the computer for the specific driver(that's why you need to know your systems pc)
Good luck.

Ok, i tried those drivers too but no success. I think maybe i need other OS.
I have developers options ON and USB debugging turned ON. (I think that should be turned ON)
P.S. I changed to mass storage and program did recognize the tablet but when i clciked switch (tablet turned OFF) and then it did not recognize anymore - i think problems with drivers.
Update to 1.0.9
Hello again,
I finally made it
Here is the thing:
1) Download this update (1.0.9): http://de05.dl.prestigio.com/Service_Files/TabletPC/PMP5297C_QUAD/PMP5297C_20140425_v1.0.9.zip from @yoyo97 (thanks)
2) Dont use drivers in folder /Drivers_x32 or /Drivers_x64
Instead go to /tools/Driver (and use this one x86 or x64 - depends on your OS)
3) Follow instructions in manual:
start RKBatchTool.exe and if icon is not green click Switch. Wait for tablet to shutdown and you should get green icon. (if this doesnt help turn off your tablet manualy and press AND hold volume + button for about 6-7 seconds DONT release and plug in USB cable then you should get notification on windows and green icon in RKBatchTool.exe)
4) Choose the firmware image and click upgrade.
5) let the software do the trick
6) profit
7) for rooting i used an android app called kingo root https://www.kingoapp.com/ just download the app on tablet. When you start it just click root and let the app do the trick.
After around 2-4min your tablet should be rooted.
I was using windows 7 (x86)
If you need any information please let me know and I will be glad to help
Have a nice day,
DyXen
Hi DyXen
Tried it all, but cannot get rockusb.inf to work on Windows 10 64-bit. I see two devices in my device manager after connecting the tablet, POrtable Device PMP5297C_QUAD and Android Composite ADB Interface. Have tried forcing the bundled Win8 x64 rockusb.inf on to both devices but keep getting "The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems."
I have also tried DriverAssistant v4.4 and it installed the drivers OK.
Even tried copying the IMG and ZIP files to SD card and applying via recovery. Nothing works. My tablet is still stuck on 1.0.3 and is sluggish as a snail. Some help will be greatly appreciated.

Could you solve it? Cause I have the same problem
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 !

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".

Follow this and created it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/development/windows-phone-internals-unlock-t3257483
question
Does this build have project astoria in it ?
Didn't work for me, all went through but the phone got stuck in the Nokia Logo, I had to do emergency recovery and flash stock rom again. Do you still have the 10.0.10586.36 ffu?
Why do we need this? Is it not just possible to follow the instructions on WPinternals?
flash 8.1 FFU
run windows update to latest version 8.10.14219.341
unlock bootloader with engineering SBL3
run windows insider, update to win10
enable root

Now that Microsoft does not update +- 35% of their phones to windows 10

But doesn't 920 have 1 Gig of RAM? So it should get the upgrade, maybe later on, like these germans say: http://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-Tipps-Handy-Windows-10-mobile-Lumias-Update-14148579.html

I really hope that the 1GB phones will get WM 10, it is running fine on my 920. But I would like to make a statement to Microsoft, they promised WM10 and now...
When I look at the official website, (microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows/windows-10-specifications) (Select the mobile tab)
This is being told:
Phones and devices compatible for WM10:
Lumia 1520, 930, 640, 640XL, 730, 735, 830, 532, 535, 540, 635 1GB, 636 1GB, 638 1GB, 430, 435, BLU Win HD w510u, BLU Win HD LTE x150q, MCJ Madosma Q501
So if it is true, can we port any other up-to date OS to the not supported phones? Sailfish would be the ultimate payback.
I can't seem to download the file, it just jams. I can download any other file from Mega but not this one. Do you possibly have another file, maybe the 1 you posted is corrupt.
Thanks
I know w10m is the latest and all the goodies it has, but on my 920 and in my father's 820 doesn't work too good. I'm thinking we could get the wp8.1 update 2 to get the keyboard support, but I can't get it through the insider program. Could we get it from a phone that has is and create a rom for our phone?

I have that one installed in my 920 and in my father's 820. Battery life sucks and sometimes you have to reset the phone by pressing power + vol-, and calendar doesn't allow you to see more than one month at the same time. I don't see any advantage in w10m to make me move from wp8.1 other than the bluetooth keyboard (and selfiestick) support. That's why I was asking for the wp8.1 u2 since that one introduced the bt kb support. I've seen your post at htcmania, I might try your rom, wiping everything and doing a clean install, but from what I heard, battery life would be worse than wp8.1
Sadly bootloop no way to get this installed! :/ tried both roms! SUCKS all that time I spend extracting those files....

Can someone upload a W10 ROM for the Lumia 920, with unlocked loader and root access. The one on this thread flashes on the phone without any errors using windows phone internals, but goes into a boot loop with the Nokia logo..
I retried the flash and did a hard reset using the details below, after it went into the Nokia Boot loop. The phone reset in about 10-15 minutes with TWO reloads and started working with Windows 10 Great. Updates downloading.....
Factory reset
With the phone turned off press and hold the Volume DOWN key and then connect the charger.
An exclamation mark should now appear.
Now press the following buttons in the exact order: Volume UP, Volume DOWN, POWER then Volume DOWN
This will now fully reset the device and restore it to factory defaults........
