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.

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

When installing Ubuntu on a Surface Pro I had to use a USB-keyboard as the BIOS didn't recognise the original one. If you have one laying around you should try.

how can i install grub? i tried every method found in the internet but non of them worked.
please help
My idea is to install the Remix OS on a USB stick or a SD card, so i can use it on PC and on my Tablet.
Is that possible? Or are the versions very different?
My Tablet is the Chuwi HI8 with dual os, but i want a thrid OS, which could be booted by USB oder SD Card.
I tried a little, but can you tell me how to start from USB oder SD Card? Is it only possible to start from BIOS or is there any other solution?
Or is it even possible to boot from Chuwi HI8 tablet on sd card? I know that there is OTG function, but i dont know if it is possible to boot from SD card.
The same on PC, do i have to start from BIOS or are there settings to from a operating system like Windows 10?
I'm on teclast x98 plus. Would also like to know thanks!

Two ways, 1. You can add an entry to windows bootloader
2. Use EasyUEFI, which you can use to change the boot order like you would in BIOS/UEFI.
Booting from sdcard woukd be conditional on the device; from usb should be fine. My i7 stylus for example won't boot from sdcard.
All that being said the hi8 is baytrail right? I think support and drivers for baytrail isn't 100% with Androidx86/RemixOS

Ok thank you, and how to add an entry to windows bootloader?
i am not so familiar with BIOS settings.
So i can use the same Remix Os on tablet and on PC? I only have to install it on the USB?
And because my tablet is 32bit i have to use the 32bit version of Remix OS right?

Personally it's easier just using EasyUefi especially with a usb install, and yea 1 usb should work on both, but what hardware works will depend on support for it...
Ok thanks, what does it mean EasyUefi? It is the 64bit version right?
Does the 64bit version work on a 32bit Tablet?

EasyUEFI it's a windows exe to change boot order etc. so you don't have to go into bios.
Ok thank you, i will try
but can i take the 64bit version on my 32bit tablet?
My problem:
So i have a 64 Bit PC but a 32 Bit Tablet. But i want to use the Stick with Remix os on both. so which should i take? The 32bit or?
And can i use easyUEFI with the 32bit version too?
Ok, i cant install EasyUEFI on my Windows PC. It gives an error.
So what are my options than?
And should i take 64bit or 32bit? See previous post

32bit should work on both. I guess your PC is using legacy bios; so EasyBCD might be what you need. But I don't know too much about legacy bios.
Yes you are right. it is a legacy bios.
But i switched the boot options, so it will boot from usb at first. So perfect for me. If USB is in it will boot Remix OS, if not, Windows.
Thank you very much.
Another question about Remix OS. Does it have a automatic update function?

Yes there's an OTA update that works as long as you don't alter system.img, initrd.img, ramdisk.img and kernel.
I dont know if you know anything about Chuwi HI8, but du you know how to boot from USB?
I was in the BIOS Menu but i could not find how to boot from USB.

Try EasyUefi on that; I have a vi10 -- I think they're similar.

I think I know what you mean...
i.e. when you remove the usb it gets taken of the list and re-added to the bottom?
I don't think UEFI keeps the device if it's removed; I had the same issue, unfortunately no real way around it.
There is a sort of workaround; but takes a bit of work. i.e. install grub onto tablet harddrive and have that as primary bootloader
Ok thank you, but than it will be the best way to do the setting every boot again. That is ok for me.

My thinking was something like copying the attached to C:/efi/... ; rebooting and checking EasyUEFI picks up the .efi's. One of which should load fine.
It should boot RemixOS if usb is installed and fallback to Windows if it isn't.
You will probably have to change the path= in grub.cfg or remove it. Depending on how your usb is setup...
I have a few PCs and Laptops with no OS currently installed plus the HD has limited space so I don't want to waste time and HD space by first installing Windows or Linux and then installing Remix in dual-boot configuration.

Thanks for the info, I tried this and it installed and booted from the installer menu however when I reboot the PC I find that the Android-x86 installer fails to create a boot partition.
I tried all possible combinations, Grub without EFI, Grub with EFI, both varitions on MBR and GPT, etc. nothing works. Even tried x86 and x64 installations

Try hitting tab
then the spacebar, then put INSTALL=1 press enter it will bring up Android X86 installer for you to format the hard drive and install on to it. This will allow it to boot without the USB drive
When I hit TAB, nothing happens. ;-/
Hi,
I had the previous version of RemixOS for PC on a USB version 3.0.206 and tried updating but crashed and would not work so I downloaded the latest version and tried to install via the install tool onto the USB drive. It runs through the process and says it has installed but when I view the drive there is nothing copied to it, same if I try to boot from USB the system reports not OS on the drive.
The process has created a REMIXOSSYS partition and a REMIX_OS partition but both are empty folders
The ISO has downloaded fine and I have tried this on three different machines. Anybody have an idea why it is not actually installing and is there another way to get it to install on a USB drive please?
Thanks
