Guide to upgrading Universal with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method
1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)
2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder
3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)
4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”
5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD
6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode
7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub
8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.
9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next
10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!
Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.
I hope this post helps someone as looking around the forum Im amazed by the amount of people asking “how do I upgrade my rom” or “I only get a “country id error” when trying to update”

No you should be ok using the orginal package, however this way will still work

I installed the ROM but after the installation is finished and I reset the device I only get a blank screen.

Blank screen but do you have the USB or SERIAL written on the Screen?
Rat didn't mention in his post but it comes out in the last screen that it is supposed to be a HARD RESET which will bring about a menu where you have to press 0 (Zero) to ahrd reset the device. hope this helps

Yip, sorry, That's correct. I get the screen that says I have to press 0 to reset or X to exit.
If I press 0 the screen goes blank and stays like that.
I've installed the previous ROM now and it is working perfectly. It's just the new ROM on this page doesn't want to work on my Jasjar.

I downloaded it straight from the first post and it installed flawlessly...
Have you tried installing it from bootloader mode instead of direct update? And without SD card in the PDA? This might work.
BTW, I have returned to the older ROM.... advantages don't outweigh the disadvantages.
My phone keeps on hanging (for the 1st time ever after 5 months use and different ROMs) on the screen where it shows whose calling. I havent answered the call yet but it stops ringing. When i open the PDA it has ANSWER on the left softkey and pressing this doesn't do anything. Will wait for the release..
It is a lot faster thought (the test ROM)

Thanks for the info. I'm not gonna bother upgrading now. I'll wait for a decent ROM later.
Thanks m8

umm - stupid question I know.....
But what does this actually DO??
I understand that this will upgrade the radio stack and thus produce better reception etc - but what else will it do??
If I have an Orange M5000 will I still be able to use it on Orange's network?? Do i need to fill in any settings? Do I need to make notes of certain stuff beforehand? If so - what settings?
I assume this will totally rewrite the registry and what programs are on teh device - or will it??
I suppose a lot of this information is available on the forum - but tracking it down can take a lot of time for someone who's not necessarily that 'au fait' with the working of the device.

I also have an orange M5000 which I would like to get off Orange to use my Vodafone SIM - would installing this new ROM be the way to go ?

not if your phone is simlocked (or network locked). new rom is only the software.

Yeah, sorry
Just reading the other thread on this - sorry , am a relative newby.
It looks like MachineGod and Buzz are on the case though - and with their track record........

I wanted to confirm that Ratcom's file he linked to is good (not corrupt) and his method for upgrade works. Nice work, Ratcom.

Some Questions about the TP2

Goodevening,
I'm a proud user from the TP2 from the first day it came in holland. Just got everything with SPB Backup from my old HTC Herald to my TP2 and everything works fine! Fast GPS, no extra mouse anymore... eaven de sound when I call sounds perfect!!!! TomTom takes the Mapshare updates automaticly come on my phone with the new update of tomtom home! I Like it!!! I did modify the phone to my hand, but with the original stock ROM.
But still I have a few questions about the phone, I did try everything, searcht but no resulst... Because i've got the most of the tweaks for my TP2 from here, I thaught I will ask it here!
1. My brother said there was a new Opera browser availble, this is true. 9.7 beta (running on 9.5 stable) my quistion is how I can update the build in opera in TF3D2.
2. Are there updates for TF3D2, when yes... where can I download these?
3. When I try to run Windows Update, I get the following message:
Code:
Error
The Connection with the updateserver isn't availble. Check your dataconnectionsettings and check if the date and time of the device are setted right.
NOTE: Translated from Dutch language.
So I sync my time with my PC, so my device time is right, but stil id doesn't work. The strange thing, a few days before I did buy the phone they did update windows on 17-04-09 23:09 says my screen on the last check. How can I update?
4. How do I get the battery info (and maybe other information) in my notification screen? (Seems like the screen I added)
Now only my provider is standing there, and the message: "no new notifications". And some time from my messenger. I think thats waist of space, so I want more there (like BT on and making of or that kind of stuf!)
5. How can I delete 1 entry in my call history from TF3D2? I know you can delete the entire call history from 1 contact by your contact, but some time I want to delete 1 entry in there. A long press doesn't work, then it's going to call the contact back.
That was it for now I think!
Wainting for the beautifull answers to make my TP2 really mine
Hope you guys can read my crapy English!
Already thanks!

1) Yep you can install it as normal
2) Dont know...
3) I also get that, and would like to know how to fix.
4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530281&highlight=monx install MONX_RHODIUM_LARGE_TITLEBAR.ZIP
5) You tried holding your finger on the entry for the options to come up?

[Q] Who provides a professional service to upgrade my Kaiser

Hey all,
I own an unlocked ATT Tilt 1 (Kaiser 8925). It is currently running windows mobile which is extremely slow. I have read all over the internet that you can put the Android 2.2 OS on this phone and have seen youtube videos on this topic also.
Ideally I need to be able to buy apps from the android marketplace.
Since I'm not a phone hacker I'd like to find a professional cel phone service company that can do this for me.
I searched extensively on Google and can't seem to find one. So who can do this and what is the normal charge for something like this.
Just trying make my old phone useful in wifi mode.
Any advice would be great.
Regards Henry

I don't think there is a company that provides such a service especially if we take in to account that kaiser/tilt is a 3 year old device and the android port is not official. There are plenty of topics in the forum describing how to replace winmo with Android. You don't have to be a hacker to run Android on your phone. Just read the stickies and you wil be able to flash ityourself in no time

There are phone dealers out there (in the USA anyway), that will do this for a fee on the Kaiser, but trust me, with what has gone into the development of this, almost anyone can do it. Save yourself the money and try it yourself. The worst I've heard about is a mis-flashed phone needing some master reset.

The question is who?
I live here in the Orlando area and have called a number of cel phone companies.
I was treated like King Gidorah Three Headed Space Monster. They didn't have a clue this could be done.

Listen HenrykJR there are about dozens of android builds on this forum + many different versions of two kernels, not all of those will work correctly for you. You might experience different issues with one setup but the other will work correctly for you. So even if there was a company that could flash it for you, you might end up with an unstable device. Also how could a company gain knowledge on flashing android builds to a phone that was originally shipped with windows mobile??? You seem to be looking for Nessy....in woods.
Your best bet now is to find someone in the forums to help you flash your device....maybe even use skype to show you how to do it. It really isn't that hard.

Hehe, i don´t think you´ll find a Company that will do it for you. Maybe you find some guys that do it for Money (me to ). But if you spend a little time with reading through this forum you could do it yourself and save the money.
Preparing:
1.) You need a SD card (mandatory for android on Kaiser). And you need a Google Mail Account for syncing your contacts etc. and access the android market.
2.) You have to "unlock" your Phone (with HSPL/HardSPL). Only after that you are able to flash things (Cusom WinMo ROMs, Radio, Android) to your Kaiser. So read through this guide and follow step 1-4.
3.) Now you have an unlocked phone an you should be able to flash everything. And the first thing you flash should be the latest "radio". The "radio" for Kaiser is similar to the BIOS for your PC. Like the subsystem and responsible for GSM chipset etc... So look & read in this Radio-Thread, download the latest Radio (it is 1.71.09.01) an follow the guide "Flashing Radio from microSD"
4.) Now your Phone is up-to-date and ready for flashing Android (or WinMo custom roms). YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO THE STEPS 1-3 AGAIN! Your Phone is now completely prepared!
Flashing Android:
For Android on Kaiser you always need 2 Parts. The Kernel (this part initialize the hardware so its similar to "driver" on PC) and the Built (the Android OS itself). But Both should work together so you´ll may find in some kernel suggestions in Built-threads because not ever kernel work with every built. For your beginning i whould suggest you some things:
First the kernel:
DZO is the most popular (the father of android on Kaiser) Kernel-Developer for Kaiser. So go to his repository and download "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh". Because Vouge and kaiser have almost the same hardware we all could use this kernel. But everyone have to modify this kernel to make phone related optimizations. You can do thy by hand (not recommended for you) or with a tool called "Atools". This tool is writthen in "Python" so mac and linux user could use it too. But you need to install Python. But that is all described in the Atools thread. Read through it and follow the guide.
Modifing Kernel:
We will only modify the madatory things. Not more at the moment...
So run Atools, klick on the "folder" Button and load the "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh".
Device: "Kaiser" should be checked
Resolution: 240x320 should be checked (native resolution of Kaiser display). Everything else will give blurry optic.
Version: "Froyo" should be checked, because we will flash a Froyo built (thats android 2.2). If you want to flash an older built like a Donut one (1.6) you have to modify & flash your kernel again.
Panel Type: Try "auto" or "1" first. But if you have a fuzzy screen or artifacts you have to try out which paneltype fits best for your device. HTC has built in 3 different displays in the Kaiser and the only way to find out which one is builtin is trial & error.
Keymap: Depends on which hardware keyboard layout you have. Here in Germeny i have to use "qwertz".
We leave the other options as they are an klick on the "Disk" button to save our modificated kernel now. it save it as "KAISIMG.nbh".
Now we need the Built:
I suggest "Fat Free Froyo" at the moment. Fast, stable, an looks good. So go to this thread and download "ODEX DOWNLOAD RLS5 ALL LANG-ODEX" on the bottom of the post.
then unzip/unrar this file...
Flashing your first Android:
1.) You should have a fat32 formatted SD card
2.) put the Kernel (the modified KAISIMG.nbh) to the root of SD card
3.) Create a folder named "andboot" on SD card
4.) Put the unzipped file (androidinstall.tar or .tgz) in the folder "andboot"
5.) Remove SIMcard and any cables from phone and put the SD card in your phone. Battery should be 50% carged or more...
6.) go to bootloader-mode (press and hold camera button and powerbutton). the KAISIMG should be loaded and it will show you "press powerbutton to update" or something similar. Do that... Now a progressbar will appear. When it is at 100% wait a few seconds an then pull the battery. Wait 10 seconds an insert it again. Voila! You flashed your first android kernel!
7.) Now we have to install android itself. So Power on the phone. In the moment when you see small white text on black background you have to press and hold the d-pad button. This one in the middle. Now you get in the install menu.
8.) Leave the options "System on nand" and "DATA on nand" as it is. Navigate to "install system" an press dpad. It ask "format system" and "format data". Both "YES". after this procedure you enter the menu again. navigate to "quit".
9.) Yeah! The first Bootup of Android! The first bootup takes longer as the following ones because now the system prepares for bootup and do a lot of optimisations. Even if you enter the lockscreen you should give it 10 minutes time to finish this optimization process in backround.
10.) Finish! You have flashed your first android completely! Now you can play around and make your settings. Remember: You have to sign in to your google account befor you can access the market or syncronize your contacts etc.!
Sounds more complicated as it is. Try it!
And if you´ll dig in deeper in this stuff you have to read here! Especially the Stickies/Refs/Tutorials! We´ve all done that!
have fun!

Brother, You can do it yourself, I can assure you. Regarding any ambiguity, you can contact me through PM. (I can guide you complete on voice over skype / msn). Its a TIDEOUS job but EASY to do since there is no MEANS OF BRICKING your kaiser (unless you flash something else than what u have do to install android).
I am here to help you in this community. And you can do this thing yourself.
Your device is At&t Tilt. The bad thing about installing android is getting a RIGHT kernel that suits your LCD type and enables wifi in the android build u install. (maybe in 1st try, maybe takes almost 10 tries like it happened for me)

P800 chinese dual sim Android - upgrade to 2.2.1

I have this P800 dual sim that runs on Android 2.2 (which in fact I think it is 2.1) and a Chinese Ingenic JZ4760 CPU (600 mhz), 256 RAM, 256 ROM. It has capacitive screen, GPS and Wi-fi. I'm desperate to install Android 2.2.1 on it for some tweaks and I don't know how because I'm new at this. I contacted the supplier but he couldn't help me with this.
Main problems:
1. Where can I find a working ROM for this so I`ll still have the dual sim option? Can't I just install a ROM from any other chinese dual sim or it has something to do with the drivers, CPU on the phone? I saw the hero H6 modding thread here on xda..
2. How do I make a full back up of the phone so I can go back to the original settings if something goes wrong?
3. How do I install new ROM without bricking it?
4. Is it absolutely necessary to root before I install the new Android?
If you want more information about kernel, hardware or anything else I can tell you from "Android system info" application that I installed on it. I might be a noob but I can learn really fast.
Please help! I just need you people to point me into the right direction.
To see the phone just search "P800 Android" on google

this files was taken from russian forum (forum .china-iphone .ru / viewtopic .php?f=22&t=11424)

Thank you for this. I will try it. I just have some questions: who made this firmware? and why don`t they talk in english so everybody can understand? I need to know if anyone used this firmware and if there will be updated firmwares in the future.

This firmware is made by manufacturer of p800, "rooted" system.img repacked by enthusiast from Israel. I'm and other users from topic about p800 of forum china-iphone.ru use this firmware. Reseller in China promise to send newer firmware on this week. As soon as it happen, link will be available at that topic.
On that forum everybody talk in Russian and foreign-speaking peoples uses Google-translate service to understand us.
For me, for example, English is not comfortable. (I think you can see it in my posts because my grammar).

When the new firmware is available can you please post a link in this topic too?
And since you use this firmware can you tell me if some of the problems I have, are solved? For example:
-Android market working?
-proximity senzor
-microphone
-did you get rid of all those useless chinese applications?
-is it Android version 2.2 or 2.2.1?
-wireless working?
-bluetooth working (sending/receiving)
-both cameras working?
-GPS navigation with iGO working?
-if you reset the phone at factory settings do you lose the IMEIs?
what did you do to install this firmware?

Is adobe Flash and adobe reader working? what about yahoo messenger?

Ok, I'll post link to new firmware, when it will exist.
Mic on my phone working excellent, Android 2.2, proximity sensor worked on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B11, but on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16 it is not working, both cameras taking photos, but not video. GPS works with (download .osmand .net /latest-night-build/OsmAnd-stable.apk). Wifi is ok. I didn't here about loosing IMEI by this device. I didn't use Andr. market. Now when you have root access you may uninstall everything yourself.

would you please see if the bluetooth, android market, flash player and yahoo messenger is working? Do I need offline maps for OsmAnd to work?

Just now I send a *.docx file to Nokia phone by bluetooth without any problem. OsmAnd as i know will ask you to download offline maps at first run (You need just select Country/region you want to download) BUT i don't know is it free or not. My phone have no internet connection now, thats why i can't help you with flash and yahoo

Hi,
I've questions about this phone. I've see this chinese model with new processor and dual sim support. On the paper it seems a very nice product:
http://www.shanzai.com/index.php/ma...00-phone-running-on-a-chinese-made-jz4760-cpu
but the problem is when i want to find to buy this product
1. is only in english or chinese (french is my mother tongue)
2. i had 3 p/n z800 or p800 or pz800 (in russia)
3. in some site it claims it's a MTK6515 cpu inside and is only a fake on the system properties for the p800
4. in all site it claims 256 ram and 512 rom, but in this topic you say 256/256
for exemple here for P800:
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-5...droid+22+os+GPS+Dual+sim+card+phone+wifi.html
and here for z800:
http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/s...iFi_JAVA_GPS_Qaud_Band_GSM_Smart_Phone_-37579
Where is the truth?
Finally if it's really the new Ingenic CPU, it's really better than a MTK6516?
Thanks for you advice

Hello.
1. Android on this phone (like on other) is multilingual (French exist exactly)
2. As i know p800 = z800 = pz800.
3. If it will be useful to you I can say that i owned Toshiba portege g810 for 1.5 years, p800 is really better. It is not so fast as HTC HD2, but not so slow as Toshiba Portege g810.
4. I don't know about it's ROM and RAM, beside it is enough for me.
Now some useful application are not installable on p800, but i believe that new firmware will made progress in this.
Some users said, that old versions of firmware had problems with low sensitive mic, now it is ok.
Till now the preamp level of speaker are too high, that is why not comfortable to use it on max volume.
And the 3rd difficulty us in setting up navigation software, people says, that it is impossible to install iGo or navitel (OsmAnd is workable).
The next problem is inability of setting max ringer alert volume, when speaking volume is not on the max level.
The quality of materials and manufacturing are high.
Oh, i forgot to say about excellent touch and bright (suppose AMOLED) screen.
The CPU model is jz4760
P. S. In store where i bought it the details are mistaken too ( www .aliexpress .com /fm-store/403972/210660520-441180847/Hot-Selling-2011-Android-2-2-Phones-P800-phones-with-gps-wifi-java-dual-sim-dual.html)

I tried to root with SuperOne Click to make a full backup in case something goes wrong but it didn`t work and I opened USBbootTool.exe but it`s in chinese and I don`t know what to do. A video tutorial would be really nice..

Step 1. Installing the driver loader.
0. Unpack the archive with the firmware.
1. Turn off the phone, remove battery.
2. Hold down the "volume up" button and connect to the cable.
3. Remove your finger from button. =)
4. PC will find new device and ask the driver (is sited in the "uboot_driver" folder).
5. after installing the driver to turn off the phone from cable.
Step2. prepearing Root
1. Replace file "system.img" in "img" folder with "system.img" from dedicated archive.
Step 3. Flashing:
1. Run USBBootTool.
2. Turn off the phone, detach battery.
3. Hold down the "volume up" button on the phone and connect USB-cable.
3 1/2. remove your finger from button.
4. The process will start automatically.
5. After flashing you'll see Chinese dialog window - it ask you to enter the serial number of 14 digits that has no matter.
6. After that, just insert the batteries, and power on your phone.
Warnings
1. This oeration will DELETE all your custom files, thats why backup phonebook to SD-card or to PC
2. Connect USB-cable to backplate of your PC and use original cable or better if possible.
3. Win 7 x64 didn't install that driver. You must use x86 (32bit) windows versions.

Thank you for the reply. Where can I get that serial number? And what do you mean it doesn't matter? What settings did you had in USBbootTool? Mine is in chinese.

Hi!
I didn't fill serial number at all, somebody fill this with random digits.
USBbootTool is in Chinese, all settings are correct, you do not need to change anything there. Just follow the instruction.
Good luck!

Thank you very much. It works.
1. After you unpack the archive the Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16_生产版本 folder must be renamed to Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16
2. The steps were correct but I don`t know how to verify that it`s rooted
3. Like you said it didn`t work on my Win 7 x64 so I went to my neighbor who had Win XP
4. I put 11111111111111 when it asked for serial number and it worked so it doesn`t matter indeed
5. Proximity senzor not working at all
6. Android keyboard missing (Sogou Input instead)
7. The name of the operators still doesn`t appear in notifications just like before. There are just some numbers: 22610 for Orange and 22603 for Cosmote
8. USSD code for Cosmote still not working. *123*2# - This is for showing me how many messages I have left on Cosmote.
I will test different applications so I can see what's working and I`m waiting for updated firmwares from you. Thanks again. You`ve been very helpful. There should be more people like you.

Thank you for comment.
I'm just translating information from Russian topic. And giving my experience of using this phone.
2. To verify rooting i'd install Root Explorer and now it is possible to set RW parametr on system folders. Some application start workig after changing firmware, before this apps said that root permission missed.
5. Yes, proximity sensor is not used by interface in this firmware.
6. Android keyboard are able to be selected. For example, open messages and choose creating of new SMS then made long press on text field and tap "select input method" appeared, you need to choose "Guboi alphabetic..."
7th & 8th problems are nod fixed yet

Hello everyone, I have the same phone and when I was trying to root it start making problems and then it's not booting anymore, so this firmware is very important to me, I'm in United Arab Emirates and it's almost impossible to download from Rapidshare. So can anyone be kind and upload both of the firmware to any other site midiafire will be great if possible

http://www.mediafire.com/?ptgu7rdps2gjd22
http://www.mediafire.com/?5j53v5x0zg6zc1c
At the end just wait until it doesn`t do anything anymore(just be patient), then unplug the cable, put the battery and power it on(don`t put the battery with the cable pluged, you could distroy the battery). The booting will take a little longer than before.
If you can root it, please tell me how you did it..

[REVIEW] Teclast X89 Baytrail Tablet Dual OS (Windows & Android)

Hi all!
i wrote reviews for two devices that are very interesting on checking together.
iPega 9023 rev2 -> Telescopic bluetooth controller for smartphones/phablets/tablets and standalone usage.
Teclast X89
There is a summary of the Teclast X89 Device. (sorry, but i can´t post complete article here, due the limitations of the characters by message on this forum)
_______________________________________________________________________________
[REVIEW] Teclast X89 Baytrail Tablet Dual OS (Windows & Android)
​
Acknowledgments
To Geekbuyingstore for send me a sample of their product Teclast X89 to test it and write this review.
Note about this review
This article is the first part of the main review of the device. Currently i get bricked the device when trying to update/install a clean windows version, and i can´t keep testing for now, until i found the way to recover it
When i get the device unbricked (if i get this), i will post a second part with steps for recovery, firmware update, tips and tricks for this device.
This article is based on general usage of the device, and for windows get many videos of games running directly on the device itself, for showing what you can expect of this.
For technical info and benchmarking on windows, when i get this device operative again, i will update this article with these sections.
Apologize if the article is not enough informative as you can expect. I'll do my best to bring a second part with more info about this device.
Product showcase(Checking of the external view of the package)
First of all, i never mention about packaging of the store that sent to me their articles, because usually i don´t consider interesting to mention, but this time i will do an exception because i get so pleased about this point.
For this review, Geekbuying sent to me two devices (but i wrote in different articles) that correspond to a suggested (by me) combo for use together:
Tablet Teclast X89
iPega 9023 controller
Both of them come in the same package, but fully protected, first with the typical plastic with bubbles, covering all the content:
​
Then, there is a bag with protective system for avoiding shocking of the devices.
​
The package arrives without any kind of problems, with the original packaging of the devices in perfect condition.
I wanted to remark this because is not usual that stores give this attention on the devices they send.
Now, back to the device itself. the packaging of it is simple, but all main texts are in chinese.
​
In the front we found the name of the product (Teclast tPad), and the Intel logo, that give to us a main clue about what is inside.
​
Back part is the description of the product in chinese
Note that there is no info about the specific model of the tablet (Teclast X89)
Inside we found the basic distribution of the package
​
Product information
​
According with the manufacturer, or searching info on web pages, we can found many sources of information about the device and sometimes these information may be not consistent (may be different from one web page to other), and this may cause some confusion for anybody that wants to get info about this product.
On this section i will post the info i get from the manufacturer (or is not possible, the web page that i consider more reliable), listing only the relevant points for a tech analysis of the product, and omit these points that don´t get any relevant info about the device (as many time we found on many pages, things such video capabilities, mail capabilities, etc, that really are software based features that we can install on the device, and not a real feature of the device itself)
I did not found the official specs on Teclast webpage. There is the specs of the previous version (X89HD), but not for this specific device (Teclast X89, or Teclast X89 Retina Display)

Hi.
The rooting method will not affect to booting selectiong of OS.
of select, power on the device, and after release the power button, press VOL- & VOL+ at the same time.
the device will ask you to select an Operating System.
another way is connect any USB keyboard (via USB OTG cable), and when turning on the device hit quickly and repeat the "supr" key, for entering to BIOS.
once you get on BIOS interface, go to second screen and select "OS Selection" (or something this way, sorry i can´t check now) as first booting method.
This will enable the OS selection screen
check my review (on my blog) and follow the instructions for configuring the bios for select OS, and add more time for pressing Supr (by default is 1 or 2 seconds, i don´t remember. i suggest 4 or 6 seconds)
Greetings!

First, i select power on the device, and after release the power button, press VOL- & VOL+ at the same time. It goes in "dmx" fastboot mode,
Second,
When i enter in bios (supr-del key), in boot manu i have 3 options:
1. UEFI OS (it boots directly to android)
2. Windows boot manager (it boots directly to win)
3. UEFI: built in EFI shell( it opens shell)
can you please check in your tablet what option you have at boot manu?, are they same with mine, what did you select?
What ever i try, i can only boot to android or windows, i cant get screen where i can choose what os to start. Before it was screen this screen
with Operating System selection, but now is gone..

Should i open this program and select something, or is it enough thaat i installed it?
ANd it will be very good if someone who knows to make a tutorial in english to flash new firmware from scratch (instaling dual boot, android, windows) like x98, that is good tutorial.

I use google translate, but it is awful, i downlod tutorial pdf file, and translated, but i am afraid that i can make mistake because translation is awful.
If someone who knows chinese and english can translate it right it will be good.
Or someone can confirm that tutorial for x98 3g is the same as this only the files are different, that is also good think to do.

currently, i'm writting a second part of the review, with instructions for flashing the device, installing android and windows (both)
for now, i'm a little bit busy and i can´t give so much time, but let me some days and i will publish this part of the review, for helping flashing the device.

Thanks everybody.

Hibernat does not work
Hello X89 owners,
i also have the newest dual boot retina display version and i am really impressed by the tablet. All works fine and great performance. Only one thing does not work that worked fine for all my other windows tablets i use before. I am not a big fan of connected standby because it still drains battery, so i use "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" command to hibernate the devices (because default button is not visible).
Unfortunately it does not work with the teclast x89. If i run "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" hibernate command it shuts down the tablet but after reboot it does not restore the hibernate state, it simply boots up normally. I also checked event log having error:
error: Windows failed to resume from hibernate with error status 0xC000000D.
I also tried recreating hiberfil.sys and checking disc consistence. But nothing helped. So can you try this on your devices? I simply want to know if its a general Teclast X89 problem...
Thx and br
Arangato

Hi Arangato.
I'm doing some testings with MeegoPad T01 (similar baytrail than Teclast), and as you i can´t get this thing to hibernate by command line
messing with the device, in some moment i get an effective hibernate state, but i'm not sure how i get.
in some testings, after unplug the power and connect again, the device boot windows (quick than normal) from scratch, and show me the application i get running previous the sleep (burnout paradise)
i will keep doing tests, but i really don´t know how to replicate for now. This messages really is for confirme that there is some way to do a sleep on this device, but of course, is not the standard way.
i'm thinking now... may be when i sleep the device, i think i keep the power button pressed to shutdown... for long time, after this unplug power source, wait few seconds and plug again. (something like this i did, i think)
keep testing...

"powercfg -h on" should enable hibernate mode
But the difference between a cold boot and hibernate resume is not that long

i tried but did not enabled.
yeah, may be on timing is the same, but there is a good difference. With Hibernating, when you get back, get all the tasks you're doing in the same status (games, work, etc). i really prefer hibernate than complete turn off for this reason.
but thanks anyway.
i recovered the tablet and doing some testings (but for now i´m centered on other devices i must release reviews).
meanwhile, i published the guide for flashing and recover the device, translating the original in chinese, and adding some other stuff that may be useful.
http://manguiro.blogspot.com/2015/03/guide-teclast-x89-installation-guide.html
Note: if your device cannot recover (like mine) with normal steps, or there is some message about corrupt partition table, invalid disk, etc, you must do some manual steps (the flashing tool can´t handle this)
i will put my steps on other article (really, i need to publish another reviews first), but basically i opened the flashing xml file, and check that there are some commented lines that, if you uncomment, the flashing tool will omit anyway, then you must do these steps manually, from fastboot command.
with this, i be able to 100% recover the device. Now i get android and windows working without problems.
hope you found useful.

Hey my touch stopped working in windows too.
Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I have only had this for 1 hour and now it is useless for what I got it for...
I need to find out how to restore the touch capabilities to windows. I tried refreshing, it happened after I went to android for the first time.

I've got the Atom Z3736 Win 8.1 version of this but does anyone know if it's possible to install dual boot because this version uses the Z3735?
Because just about all the forums for this device are in Chinese and using Google translate is a nightmare to even find the right people to ask.

com.android.systemui keeps crashing when charging level at 100%
Hello,
recently I get my Teclast X89 tablet, but unfortunately it appeares to have a problem. When the battery charging level comes to 100% (at 99% everything is OK) tablet becomes totally unusable. When the screen is switched off it cannot be waken up and when I use the tablet a window pops up telling that "Process com.android.systemui has stopped", like here:
imgur.com/hjWI1lP
After restart everything is OK, but it really grinds my gears. Maybe someone know how to fix this problem?
Please halp!
Bogusz

Hello Deen0X, thanks for your reply and explanation. Now i know it seems to be a general problem. If you have a tablet like this connected standby is activated and with this hibernate is also enabled by default (you should find a hiberfil.sys file in C root, its used for fast boot option) so you normally can hibernate with the command i mentioned before: "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" this works fine for my other acer win 8.1 tablet (OOTB system) directly after install. But not for the Teclast x89. Of course having a normal boot and restore from hibernate is pretty same time, also fast boot does not have that big impact. I like hibernate because it "freezes" actual system status without draining battery after that.. i often have several browser windows opened, some other metro apps and i like to resume to that state and not to have a clean boot.
@Deen0X: could you check your event log? Is there also the message that device could not restore from hibernation?
So keep me updated, or maybe anybody else can try the "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" command to hibernate the teclast x89 dual boot. It will not harm the device. I have the experience if hibernation is disabled and you run this command it simply locks the screen..
Thx and br
