Getac T800 Tablet - Switch From Win 10 OS to Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
So I am experienced in rooting and flashing / rooting phones (originally did this with the Samsung fascinate and B&N NookHD). The company I work for recently bought several Getac T800 tablets. These tablets come with Win10 preloaded. For the work I want our field staff to do, there are several apps that are way better, but run on Android. I am hoping that I will be able to load Android onto these machines (I do not want to do a dual boot situation - The staff using them are not tech savvy).
Specs for the machine can be found here: http://us.getac.com/tablets/t800/specs.html
Intel® Atom Processor x7-Z8750 1.6GHz (up to 2.56GHz); 2MB Cache
8GB LPDDR3
128 GB EMMC
This company makes a similar machine that runs android
Specs for ZX70: http://us.getac.com/tablets/zx70/specs.html
Intel® Atom™ x5-Z8350 Processor 1.44GHz, burst up to 1.92 GHz 2MB Cache
2GB LPDDR3 expandable to 4GB
32GB eMMc
I can download the BIOS and the android 6.0 ISO (for the ZX70) from the company here: http://us.getac.com/support/drivers.html (type in ZX70 and submit)
My question is could I use this image on our T800s and what would be the steps to load the image onto the machine? Are there any pitfalls / drawbacks?

Hi, I know this post is years old, but I'm trying to do the same thing. Did anyone reply to you, or did you figure it out? I want to try to install their Getac android image on one of their windows tablets.
I have successfully installed a different android OS on it, but I can't install the Getac OEMConfig app on the current android OS. I believe it is because it isn't showing up as a Getac device or the android OS version is too new. I would love to find this app, but I can't find an APK for it anywhere, either.

[Q] How to install newer os on this tablet

Hi everyone
I have the following tablet made by Mach Speed Technologies:
Trio Stealth G2 7" display
1GB RAM
CPU: Dual Cortex-A9 Dual 1.5GHz Multi-Core (its a dual core with a total of 1.5GHz)
its not rooted yet, I don't know how. If it needs to be rooted for this can someone quick explain that?
It came with Android 4.0 and has never updated through the settings, and the factories website does not even mention this tablet. The guy at Radioshack said I could install the update myself so here I am trying to figure out how.
If possible my original plan was to just instal the newest Android release. But today I just found out about ROM's.
So how do I install the newest Android release or if that's not possible a very secure custom ROM?
On one website it just said to put the rom image on a sd card (or in my case a microsd card) and put it in the tablet, then the tablet would use it as an update after asking you with a pop up. Is that true?
I have a bit of experience with Linux and coding but none with Android
with that update through sd card is true but most of times you need to have specific app or recovery as it may be treated as a rom and in that case you need to be rooted and have recovery. if you have experience u good with android as it is based on unix core
Well, I guess the first step is to be rooted then? How do I go about doing that?
I have the "Root with Restore by Bin4ry" downloaded on my computer and the usb driver installed from the google sdk manager.
But my computer does not see my tablet at all.
I have the same tab I have got adb to somewhat pick it up an it has aml flashtool and safe mode this shows u how to get into all those all but for safe mode copy this an past after youtube.com

[Q] Need help with Cube U25GT RK3168

I have been away from Android for a good many years now, over in iOS land.
Recently I picked up a Cube U25GT Dual Core with the Rockchip RK3168 A9 processor.
Out of the box the developer menu is available, but I would like to do a full root on the device so I can use this as a development platform where I can run strace or something if necessary.
The problem is there is so much information out there and much of it is device specific that being pretty much new all over again I have no idea where to start. I read through some topics here but none that I read were to the point and I quickly found myself in a tangle of threads.
The stock firmware is available but I was unable to mount the image to extract anything. I am guessing it's not a standard disk img file.
Could you try this and let me know if it works? Im gettin my tablet in a day or two

Ram upgrade allwinner cpu

Hi guys,
The story goes like this: i have an old chinese navigation unit that has an allwinner cpu T3 with external Ram of 1Gb. I found an 4Gb ic on a PX5 Rockchip board and decided to do the swap. All went well, the device boots up normally but only sees 1Gb of Ram. Question is where is the ammont of Ram written in the OS or how do I make the OS see the newly installed Ram? The device is running Android 6 or so i think( api 23) but it reports android 7.1 in about screen. I managed to get it rooted. I know it is weird to waste my time on such an old device but since i'm in quarantine there's nothing better to do.
sounds like a kernel issue to me

Upgrade from KitKat 4.4 to Marshmallow 6 - Intel tablet

Hi. I am having a hard time trying to understand how to upgrade my tablet from kitkat 4.4 to at least marshmallow 6.
This are the facts:
Tablet: Philco TP7A1I - Assembled in Argentina by Newsan
Android: 4.4.4
CPU: Intel Atom Z3735G - 1.33Ghz - X86_64
GPU: Intel HD Graphics for BayTrail
RAM: 1GB
Flash Size: 8GB
The problem that I have is that all the info that I found related to upgrades is pointing to OTA upgrades using adb or, if we talk about Intel devices, upgrades via UEFI boot.
Well, I have neither of those posibilites. Or I least I dont know how to get in in UEFI boot.
If a navigate to Settings -> Backups & reset -> System Upgrade and then reboot the system into Recovery Mode, I finally get the Android menu with "reboot system now" "apply update from sdcard" and so on.
I think I need to install Android-x86, but I can't found the correct way to do it.
Iam trying to use adb to get some info from tablet, but no luck until now.
Any tip or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Daniel.
@Danielalk
Updating/upgrading Android OS requires the Android device to be booted into Recovery Mode: thats a minimal 2nd Android OS ( with restricted ADB version ) from what you can install a so-called update.zip, means overwrite the existing Android OS in parts or at whole - this is possible because the existing ( full ) Android OS actually is not running.
So you have to find an update.zip that contains the x86_64 Android OS version of your choice. If found then you put the ZIP on device's external SD-card and finally apply it by means of adb apply update from sd card command.
In case you can't find a ready-to-go update.zip then you can try to create it by yourself.
BTW: Don't think it makes sense to invest time in this because Android M requires a device with 2+GB RAM to sucessfully work.
Thanks jwoegerbauer
@jwoegerbauer
Thanks for your time jwoegerbauer.
Well, I guess I need a new device and thats all.
Anyway the technical puzzle is interesting, so I will try to found a update.zip that matches my device and try to upgrade to Lollipop at least.
Just to learn about Android.
Thanks Again.
