Ok i used the installer to install Remix OS for PC beta and it installed fine but keeps freezing. But the question is now how to uninstall it and restore my boot menu to stop showing remix os?
Running windows 10 pro
thanks
Look inside the RemixOS folder (on the drive where you installed it)
There is a filed called....guess what...."UninstallRemixOS.exe"
Play around with that....
Thank you Good Sir
Same question here.... unfortunately when I boot into Windows and click on the Remix Folder I get "Remix OS is not accessible. Directory is corrupted and unreadible".
I tried installing the OS again using the tools provided but with no luck. Grateful for any help!
FYI, I managed to boot my pc into safe mode and it allowed me to delete the Remix OS folder. It's still showing as an option at boot but I'm sure I'll be able to get rid of that with a bit of research.

1 - Run Command Prompt as an Admin.
2- Type bcdedit and press Enter.
3- Look for the section that has Remix OS listed (most likely under Real-mode Boot Sector).
4- Copy the Identifier for the Remix OS listing including the brackets.
5- Type bcdedit /delete, paste the Identifier and press Enter.
6- If you want, type bcdedit again to confirm that it's gone.
7- Reboot your PC.
I hope this helps. Enjoy!
In the command prompt, there was not the remixos written up. But if i start the computer, there are 2 choices: Windows 10 or Remix os. Please help me. (Sorry for my bad English.)

I had a similar problem when I installed on my hard drive and it got corrupted somehow. I had to boot into safe mode, navigate to the Remix OS feet and manually delete. So if you can see he folder on your thumb drive, that might work.

Download something called "USB Disk Storage Format Tool", run as administrator, specify name, file system etc. and click Format. It will detect maximum storage of your thumbdrive and format it to (in your case) 16GB.

I think I've made a huge mistake.
I just wiped my device in TWRP because the last CM Nightly I installed was acting up.
I went into TWRP, wiped and factory reset. I then rebooted and went into TWRP again.
I wanted to install CM 9.1, which I copied onto my 64GB SanDisk Ultra, and I was thinking to just flash it from the external sd.
I read somewhere on xda that I needed to maybe use a smaller SD card and have the format in FAT32, which I did, but TWRP still does not recognize them.
I am currently stuck with TWRP v2.3.1.0, no way to flash a new rom from a blank internal memory or an external memory.
I tried updating SDK and the most updated drivers for the device through the Device Manager and use "adb push" or "adb sideload" but the device is not recognized.
Can someone give me some kind of suggestion to solve this situation.
I’d suggest using a linux install to do the adb stuff if you’re not doing so already, no need for crazy windows drivers to see a connected device.

Windows 8 is a bugger to get drivers working properly.
Try and use a windows 7 machine or a friends laptop or try the following instructions.
Windows 8 Instructions
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
Ubuntu is a linux based Operating System, and can be used to do most things Windows 8 does, sometimes worse, sometimes better. So in this case, it's less trouble to connect an android device to a linux OS such as Ubuntu, as it can recognize a telephone without having to install drivers.
If you want to give it a go, you can install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tired-of-windows-8-how-to-dual-boot-windows-ubuntu/
And then install Fastboot and ADB:
http://putokaz.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools-in-ubuntu-via-ppa/
But, I'd stick to Windows and follow the advice of Flumpster if you're not too confident installing a second operating system.
I can and have knowledge of installing another OS to run alongside Windows.
I use VirtualBox to run Mac OSX and Android. Can I run Linux on VirtualBox and do the process through that?
I am not quite sure what I should do after disabling Driver Signature Enforcement on Windows 8...
Yes, you can install Linux in a virtual machine - give it a try. If the device is still not recognized via OS running in the virtual machine, you can then always install to your hard disk and try that route.
The other option is to run Ubuntu as a live cd eg from the disk in memory (not install) and do it that way. I first unlocked and rooted my mobile this way. I can give more info on this if you like.

I think I'll give a multi-boot option a try. I've been wanting to install a different OS anyway since upgrading to Windows 8. Now I just have incentive.

Just a quick thought after re-reading your first post, I'd try a smaller sd card (16 or 32GB). I have heard of the larger faster cards giving some people problems.
Solved!
After trying to install Linux using Ubuntu 13.04 and getting more errors (something with the UEFI vs Legacy Boot installation), I decided to retry and find the original Windows drivers for the TF201.
I found one through Softpedia, downloaded it, used the "Have Disk" option when installing the yielded "Transformer" device in the Device Manager and sideloading the new CM 10.1 Nightly onto it.
Works like a charm!
Thanks everyone for the support!
I have a Asus t100 I'm trying to install remix os on without a windows os. I used pmagic since I'm not that good at coding, I tried coping all the files from release_Remix_OS_for_PC_32-bit_Beta_Version_Package
to a new partition then when I try to boot from it my computer just goes straight to bios because theres nothing to boot. I also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/how-to-install-remix-os-virtualbox-to-t3301160 with no luck can someone help me I just want remix os installed on this computer with no other OS
Asus T100 uses Intel Atom Z3740, a 64bit processor. So use the 64-bit version of Remix OS. The 64-bit version of Remix OS also has UEFI, which makes making the drive easier, and booting faster. Make the bootable USB as per instructions, and disable secure boot in your BIOS. You should then be able to boot from the USB.
it won't work. T100 has 64bit processor but a 32bit system

Ok I just did it so, here is how I did it. Use gparted, from gparted.org, booted up, partitioned, small 500MB FAT32 formated partition, second partition EXT4 the rest, 58GB+. Then took 32bit beta using JIDE's tool to put on a USB stick. Booted the stick and when it came up, entered e, to enter grub boot config. On the second line removed the part after and put INSTALL=1. Installed android to the larger partition, then installed grub, grub efi, formated, then rebooted. Side loaded google services from this forum and it works. Bugs, biggest issue is no audio. Let me know if you have any luck.
V/R,
Gary

From windows:
1) Dowmload and unpack RMX installer everywere you want (you will have a folder called RMX installer).
2) enter on RMX installer folder and execute the .EXE file.
3) Browse for the Remix OS .ISO file (use the 64 bits one, works like a charm for me )and choose the Data size (will create the data.img file).
4) disable secure boot and fast boot in your BIOS.
5) Boot and you will see the grub menu with Remix OS and Windows options.

OK but Asus t100 only uses 32bit which isn't a problem. And I don't have windows on it I have anot her computer that has windows on it but the Asus t100 has no OS at the moment I'm trying to install remix on it without installing windows so if the RMX Installer only works with a Windows installed then I have no use for it
Yes I'm having the same problem, with the new T100 that has both OS and CPU 64 bit.
The thing is, whatever you do grub won't detect either an external SD card or the keyboard dock's HDD as a boot option. They don't even show up in BIOS ! The only possibility seems to be booting from internal storage, which is too limited to dual boot Windows + Remix OS.
Anyone has tips for this ?
Thanks

your boot configuration is messed up. easy way to fix it is to tell windows to make a new one or the hard way is to find the file manual edit it.

Try the following steps:

Step 2, Under System Recovery/Repair, select Advanced Options
Step 3, Under Advanced Options, choose Command Prompt
Step 4, When you are at the Command Prompt run these commands:

He hasn't told us what his system/bios is based on, so I assumed it would be a legacy device.

Congratulations! Have fun!
You can install a clean copy of windows in your Yoga Book using the ISO from Microsoft and these drivers.
You will need a USB OTG cable and a USB hub to connect a keyboard, a mouse and a USB drive to your Yoga Book.
You will need three USB drives. One for creating a rcovery drive (16GB), one for windows Installation (8GB), and one to hold the drivers.
- Make a recovery pen drive before you modify anything. This will allow you to restore the device to its factory state, in case you need to return it or are not happy with the results of your modifications:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/instantanswers/3a747883-b706-43a5-a286-9e98f886d490/create-a-recovery-drive
Keep this drive safe and use it if you want to restore your Yoga Book to a Factory state.
- Download a copy of windows and make a USB bootable drive:
https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/software-download/windows10ISO
- Download the drivers and put all the files in a pen Drive. These drivers are from september 2016, posted by UweThelen63 at the Lenovo Forums, looks they deleted the post, here is a copy I made:

To install windows, put in the USB with the ISO, boot the Yoga with VOLUME UP + POWER button, choose boot manager and select USB UEFI.
Follow the windows 10 installation to the end, you'll get a couple of black screens, just wait. The display will be rotated, use the USB mouse to navigate.
When windows is installed, use the Drivers USB, extract everything and start an Administrator command line ("windows key" + "X", "m"). Go to the folder where you extracted the drivers and run "startmodule" for each driver. Start with the Intel Cherry trail drivers.
I haven't installed the LenovoShutDownHelper yet. I don't know what it does.
You'll have to go into the display settings and rotate it to 270º when the Intel graphics drivers are installed.
For me, everything works except the haptic feedback for the keyboard. If you find ahow to make it work, please, let me know.
I don't know how to install the Dolby programs. Any idea?
thats all great but how do we install it if we have the android version of the yoga book?
Need unlocked bootloader.

We need unlocked bootloader, however, I think its not developed yet.
Anyway,when bootloader unlocked, android users can install windows because of dproldan's contribution!
I'm going mad because of android's humble multitasking interface! I really really hope Nougat releases ASAP!

Sorry. I don't know... I tried to unlock but, at that time, I recognized there is no custom rom or bios and I can't build that. So I gave up to trying...
I believe some hero will lead us...T^T
First, let me thank you for those drivers... I can't believe Lenovo is removing the drivers from their support site and forums. Mind-boggling.

I'd like to know how to install the Dolby programs as well.
That said, to enable the haptic feedback you have to either fix the startmodule.cmd in the immersion vibrator driver folder or manually install it. The .cmd file doesn't set the paths right for the files it needs to copy.
To manually install it:
copy to %windir%\system32 :
Code:
touchsense.dll
touchsensed.exe
(maybe vcruntime140.dll... on my windows 10 it already existed)
then make the folder touchsensed (still in system32, so after it will be %windir%\system32\touchsensed)
copy to this new folder %windir%\system32\touchsensed :
Code:
license.param
tuning.param
then open an admin command prompt and do:
Code:
sc create TSSvc binpath= %windir%\system32\touchsensed.exe start= auto DisplayName= "TouchSense Service"
sc start TSSvc
sc failure TSSvc reset= 0 actions= restart/1000/restart/1000/restart/1000
After that, reboot... and on next boot you should have haptic feedback.
thank you. I reinstalled everything again and did that. Haptic is working now.
Dolby also installed by itself. Probably has something to do with the order of installation. i did the cherry trail drivers first and then the rest, with a few reboots between them.
How did you get the product key or did you have to get a new one?
In my case, Windows activated itself if I connected to WiFi just after the language selection display. I guess the key is stored in the BIOS/UEFI/Mother board.
I don't have a Microsoft account.

I heard win 10's activation is related to M/B.(Maybe from win 8's tablet edition?)

Just loaded a fresh install of Win 10 and it activated on its own. Thanks for the info.
Has anyone got the Automatic System update to work? On Lenovo's website I click 'Start Scan' -> Install the Lenovo Support Bridge -> Then it starts to scan but never gets past 0%
can anyone explain how to install windows 10 on an android version of Yoga book?
who has the ROM of Android version within Google service ? Plz send me one, thank you so much !
hello all...
i have a trouble to clean install my windows yoga book (YB1-91F). Basically i have done all the preparation, driver, windows on usb. Even i make sure i've created bootable usb flashdrive. But everytime i go to boot menu there are no UEFI usb option, there are only greyed boot EFI and boot windows option. i have try to load from advance startup option inside the windows, but in the end it only show "the system doesn't have boot to EFI". so it kind of stuck for me. Even if i choose reset my pc, it always says there are trouble reseting my pc, no change were made.
i want to reset my yoga book, because i've been infected by some malware, and i think my internal storage and windows registry is somewhat junked.
Ups, sorry... i've solved the problem. Eventually I use MBR for the bootable flashdisk where it shoud GPT format... now, i'm clean installing my yoga book. Crossing finger, hope all goin well.

you should start command prompt as an administrator.
- click start
- type cmd
- right click cmd, select run as administrator
- continue to each driver folder
- run startmodule.cmd

you should type command completely with the extension... it's should be "startmodule.cmd" inside each folder of the driver
When I installed Windows 10 again, Windows Update did most of the hard work with installing drivers. So as long as you can get an internet connection by installing the wireless drivers (try using the Device Manager > Search for drivers on this PC) you should be good.
