Flash ROM problems - it refuses to flash

Ok, I am having a difficulty in flashing ROM using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and/or BaUpgradeUt.exe
Using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
I have the system rom (Aku's version) and a radio rom (1.5). Next, I run MaUpgrade tool; it detects the device flash as follows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Okay, you might have questioned why is the device v5; that's because it worked before with baupgradeut tool, but right now, it doesn't work anymore and I wasn't sure how I managed to get it to work in the first place. The main reason I wanted to upgrade again was the radio rom (the connection is really bad) and the transcriber failed to function properly as an extended rom but that was like months after I did this. I often had to reset the device to fix those issues.)
Then after pressing Next, ActiveSync (I tried final version 4.5 as well as an older version 4.2 - both failed) would then get disconnected and ma utility will give me a Connection problem error as follows. I have to reset the PDA device to get activesync reconnected.
Using BaUpgradeUt.exe
Now this is the annoying part. I loaded the GetDeviceData.exe on the PDA and obtained the following:
Code:
P H 2 0 B 1 W W E AT%CID? 5 . 0 4 . 1 0 . 1.02.10 % 4
Removing all of the spaces, I get something like this:
Code:
PH20B1 WWE AT%CID? 5.04.10. 1.02.10 % 4
I wasn't able to find the device operator. So I just edited EditFix.bat like this (and of course, I run this batch - both files are modified (nk and radio_ ones)):
Code:
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B1 -sl WWE -so "" ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B1 -sl WWE -so "" nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B1 -sl WWE -so "" radio_.nba
where I also tried to replace "" with T-MOB101, XGULB001, and XGULA001. (since the device is a Siemens SX66 purchased on ebay) All failed and returned a model error.
Is there anything I should do?

Your operator code seems to be deleted (should be sth like T-MOB101 - read here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GetDeviceData ). Now you can only use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe untill you repair it (anyway operator code is not needed after all) by installing ROM with correct Operator code for your device (if you know/remeber it) set by operator or you using xda3nbftool.
Apart from this, you seem not to follow the procedure: you should put BA in Bootloader mode, not leave ActiveSync mode when you initiate upgrade.
Please post your results here, when you finish.

Hello,
I've the same 101 error...
I don't really understand how to find a solution to upgrade without that problem...could you help me ?

Once I had a problem like this one and I figured out that I could not flash my device + radio at the same time.
Try removing the radio.nbf from the folder where MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and then try to flash your device.
If it works, then remove the nk.nbf from the folder, put back the radio.nbf and try to flash it.

Tks.
I've put a topic for that.
It seems to be a Vista OS problem...

I confirm everything. Same problem for me with Vista. Upgrade is possible only under Xp. Maupgrade is not compatible with Vista. Someone should make a Vista version of it.

Nope not only vista. my xp home is having excatly the same problem. Completely stuck now and getting PreSetUSB along with other error msgs now on the device.

hi all of you
how can I fix sam problem

I'm having the exact same problem as you guys. anyone managed to find a work around to it ?

try this workaround...
1. avoid Vista... use XP
2. flash in BOOTLOADER mode. (press and hold Record+Powerbutton then softreset) then just ignore if the Device info FROM is missing... just click upgrade.

Hi Silver Samurai,
I am flashing in Winxp using bootloader mode and Maupgrade. Doesn't seem to work. I have followed everything in the wiki step by step. Such as disabling activesync.
Really don't know where i have gone wrong.

what error numbers are you getting?
when does it fail?

Well i make a hard reset (No for the first option and yes to the 2nd and 3rd options.) After that leaving it in bootloader mode - showing serial and bootloader version number v2.08.
I make sure that activesync (usb connection is disabled). Close wcecomm.exe and other files related to activesync in taskmanager. Connected the usb cable and it changes from serial to usb. Invoked the Maupgrade noid.exe. It hangs there indefinately for more than 30 mins showing the screen that it is checking the xda. If i pull the cable out, it immediately shows device error.
I know that there is nothing wrong with the cradle as i can connect to activesync in normal mode and install programs / files.
I can still boot up after that with wm2005 helmi. Cannot seem to erase the rom. Funny thing is that with wm2005 my sd card cannot be detected. Previously with wm2003 it can be detected. However when the screen is off, and when i insert the sdcard, it does turn on. Likewise when i remove the card and the screen is off, it would also come on. But that is a total different aspect altogether. Anyway i figured that if i can reflash to the official wm2003 rom, it would solve that problem.
Sorry for the wall of text, but i just wanted to fully describe the problem i am facing. Could it be that the DiskOnChip is already corrupted ? Don't think that it's the Intel SRAM/Nand Flash chip as it's only 128Mbits. which only stores the bootloader.

is there an SD Card inserted when you are trying these procedures?
can you try both with or without it?
try without an SD first
please post your result.

Yes i have tried both with sd card and no sd card. If the SD card is inserted, in bootloader mode, the serial won't change to usb until i eject the sdcard. The screen would just get stuck showing the msg, checking the xda.

Step-by-step guide for installing Windows 7

I already posted this guide in another thread, but to make sure others read it before asking questions that has been asked 10 times before I descided to repost it in a new thread. Enjoy!
As requested - here is a guide on how to install Windows 7 to the HTC Shift.
First of all you need an external DVD drive or a memory stick with 4GB minimum.
READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING WINDOWS 7.
The information contained in this guide was collected from posts in this thread and I cannot guarantee that everything will work perfect for you!
• Download the beta image
USB-install:
1 - Open Iso file with winrar, and extract all file into folder C:\WINDOWS7\
2 - Open command prompt in administrator mode (start - all programs - accessories - command prompt - right click - run as administrator)
3 - Then type this commands :
- type CD\
- type DISKPART
- type LIST DISK
- type SELECT DISK X (where X is the memory stick disk number you got from LIST DISK)
- type CLEAN (CAUTION; THIS WILL ERASE ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE SELECTED DISK)
- type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
- type SELECT PARTITION 1
- type ACTIVE
- type FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK
- type ASSIGN
- type EXIT
- type XCOPY C:\WINDOWS7\*.* /S /E /F E:\ (E: \ is the name of usb stick, if your key has an other letter, of course put your) (after *.* and after each letter preceded by / there's a space!)
Reboot, at startup push FN+F10, and choose your usb key.
This will not affect your HTC SHIFT Vista recovery partition.
Thanks killer_t
DVD-install
• Burn the image to a DVD
• If you want to dualboot Windows 7 and Vista you need to partition your harddrive before starting the installation. Use a suitable partition manager such as Paragon Partition Manager and shrink c:/ to approximately 15-17 GB. Create a new partition in the free space.
• Connect the USB DVD drive to your shift
• Press fn+0 (F10) after turning on your shift – select the DVD drive
• Follow the steps for installing Windows. Remember to select partition 2 as target partition if you want to dualboot with Vista. If not you can safely format the existing partition. This will not affect the recovery partition.
____________________________________________________________________________
• Download the shift drivers from HTC
• When you install the drivers – beware that you have to install them with Vista Compatibility mode enabled and run as Administrator. Right-click the driver setup file – click the Compatibility tab – select Windows Vista and mark “run this file as Administrator”

f. Extension Kit USBLanDriver(3[1].8.3.7) (Note: you have to install this through driver update in device manager)
g. Shagctrl_1[1].2.6.122-control center - Note that you have to disable aero to get the 1024x600 interpolated resolution working. Right click on dektop -> personalize -> and choose the first "easy of access" Theme.
h. Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1)
• - VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014 You can use Windows Update for this one.
• Now that control center is working in Win7 there is no need to liberate your snapvue (if you haven't already done it). 3G,WLAN and BT works out of the box.
Guide for removing the "Evaluation copy. Build 7057.winamin.090305-2000" watermark in Win7 build 7057:

this one is not working for me... BSOD again and again... I think that it is better to keep the default one.
what do you think?

out of curiosity - does the recovery partition still boot after this by pressing Fn+F3?
Cause the last laptop (HP) that i installed windows 7 beta to could no longer boot from the recovery partition thereafter. - I suspect that with the HP's it has to have a specific boot sector of HDD for the F12 recovery to work; same as my acer?
Thanks

haven't tried but it should yes.. because it's not part of the partition of Vista... I guess that in vista you CAN'T remove the thing to restore partition.. but in your HP laptop you could and you may have removed it.

on my hp the recovery partition is defiantly still intact and I can still recover by marking the recovery partition active from vista but when it says press F12 to recover it now does nothing - so I think it must also need its "special" boot sector

yeah maybe... I think in the shift it is not part of the HDD (not sure about it).
I will try to restore vista soon, because I want to try things today (to have Win7 and WinVista on 2HDDs working on the shift.. Win7 on main HDD and Vista in external one).
edit1 : well ... recovery done no problem for recovery after installing windows 7 !! I save everything on vista side... activate bluetooth and wifi ... and then installing back Vista on another drive and then Windows 7 on main DD
edit2 : arf.. impossible to install windows on a usb drive ... sad ^^ .. well I will feedback Microsoft about it , it would be a GREAT addition to Win7. well.. reinstalling win 7 now !

you can disable them ... but I'm not sure if it is "totally" disabled.
for bluetooth .. I have disable in the "device manager".
for wifi.. I have not disabled it again..but you can through "windows mobility center" (not windows mobile device center).
I'm working on Win7 to make everything usable.. if you need somedays... I think I will have some goods news ! the 2 buttons (shag control and resolution switcher) are responding... but I need to make them work

When windows is booting, press F8, select low resolution mode. Then disable Aero in Win7. After that 1024x600 resolution should work

It should work, but I haven't tested it myself yet

Upgrading SX66 to WM 6

Hi, I need your help. I read some of the XDA tutorial and I don't understand it.
Can someone guide me, step by step, how to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 from 2003? I don't want to mess anything up, and currently have none of the files.

read wiki there is a upgrade wizard which will guide you

"I read some of the XDA tutorial and I don't understand it."
On it it says...
"If you plan to easily revert back to WM2003 or you don't want those extra MBs (Mega Bytes) on your BA, skip the next steps."
Also it says
"In WM5 and WM6 you are not using your RAM as storage for programs or documents anymore. Instead of RAM you are using Storage - because as we said before, no data is lost when your battery runs out.
Because of this, it's a good idea to merge your ExtROM with Storage to one "BIG Storage". (You will not install anything from ExtROM. You're not using non-persistent memory for storing programs anymore. Instead of ExtROM you can use SD or MMC card (Memory card), or install the hotfixes once after the flashing)"
Is there a way I can keep 2003, and also WM6? Or can I only have one in my phone? Do I do those steps? Do I skip them?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1_WM2003SE0

I just need someone to guide me step by step, where I can ask questions, etc.
I also need tips, and information.

Do as xplode said. Follow the Wizard.
As per your question, [highlight]do not skip steps!!!![/highlight] All instructions are there for a reason!
And finally, you cannot have a dual boot on the Blue Angel. You can have either 2003 or WM6, but not both at the same time. You can always flash back and forth...
If you have questions, please search before you ask. And then, if the answer is not found, then ask someone.

I'm kind of stuck now... Not sure if I'm in bootloader mode or not, and when I run "MaUpgradeUt" it says "ERROR 150: ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR"
...What do I do now?

if you are in botloader mode on your screen thould be Serial or USB (when connected to pc) if you want i can guide you over skype or msn or icq

I would love if if you could.

Me too I did not understand the wiki when I used to be a newbie here, but I kept on reading it until my brain hurts, but what do you know I got it after reading the whole wiki for 3x.
On it it says...
"If you plan to easily revert back to WM2003 or you don't want those extra MBs (Mega Bytes) on your BA, skip the next steps."

It simply means that if you are OK with the default settings/partition of the internal storage/memory of you BA then skip the next steps which I dont recommend!!!
Also it says
"In WM5 and WM6 you are not using your RAM as storage for programs or documents anymore. Instead of RAM you are using Storage - because as we said before, no data is lost when your battery runs out.
Click to expand...

In WM2003SE BA use RAM as a storage medium hence if the BA resets itself in anyway you lost everything in it, unlike in WM5 and WM6 onwards we use SD CARDS as storage medium hence even if we SR (Soft Reset) or HR (Hard Reset) our BA nothing will be erase on the SD card, so those pics of naked girls, those asian scandals on your SD Card won't be erase..lol
Because of this, it's a good idea to merge your ExtROM with Storage to one "BIG Storage". (You will not install anything from ExtROM. You're not using non-persistent memory for storing programs anymore. Instead of ExtROM you can use SD or MMC card (Memory card), or install the hotfixes once after the flashing)"

same thing, if I were you I will follow all the steps and will not skip..not even one step!

Click to expand...

Yes there is a way you can keep your WM2003se stock ROM...you can use ROM DUMPER..BUT...I don't recommend that because...sorry to say...if you are having a hard time upgrading you BA even if WIKI is there then you'll get a very hard time with ROM DUMPER .
You can only have one OS INSTALLED at a time on a PPC. I emphasized INSTALLED because you can have android copied on you SD even if you have one OS INSTALLED on your BA...does is sound clear? Hehehe
NOW....
Before you upgrade your BA keep this is mind...it's a warning...a WARNING so you will not sue xda-dev or any BA ROM cooker if something BAD happens to your BA. But don't worry 1 out of 1000 BA owners brick their BA while upgrading. Because they upgrade their BA with 10% battery life. Where did I get the 1 out of 1000 statistics? Just a guess..a wild guess but it's near to reality
WARNING
IF YOU PROCEED, YOU MAY TOAST YOUR PHONE. THERE'S NO COMEBACK. THERE'S NO GETTING ROUND THIS. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST OTHERWISE YOU'LL PROBABLY BREAK YOUR PHONE PERMANENTLY. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? DO YOu? ANSWER ME YOU...lol

- Download unlocker.cab DOWNLOAD HERE
- Download Repart_Doc.exe DOWNLOAD HERE
- Place both of them somewhere on your Pocket PC. For example in \temp but anywhere is fine. All the command below are to be executed on your Pocket PC, not on your PC.
- Install xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB by tapping on it in filemanger (from the directory where you put it earlier)
- Then go to start -> Programs -> ExtROM tools -> then first run "unhide", then "Unlock".
- Do a soft reset. (you know how to do a SR, right?)
- Once your Pocket PC is restarted, locate the Repart_DOC.exe file with your filemanager and start it.
- Set the size of Extended ROM to 128 kb (which is already the default).
- Press "Format now!" and wait until it is done (A few seconds). You will see a message that it is done. (You will get an error message about your storage, just press yes and wait a few seconds.)
- Soft reset your Pocket PC.
NOW YOU ARE DONE WITH THE FIRST PART AND I HOPE I AM MAKING IT EASY FOR YOU AND FOR EVERYONE.
Now, I RECOMMEND you to use Windows XP and of course Active Sync 4.5.
1. Download the BA ROM that you desired. It can be WM6, WM6.1 or WM6.5 and you can find all the download links of this ROMs on our BA wiki (and I am the one who updated that and put those links.)
2. Save that ROM on your computer. (anywhere will do) If it is zipped or rar, then unzip it or unrar it.
Here are the files that should be inside that ROM folder (well this are the files that I have every time I flash my BA, just correct me guys if some of this are not really needed):
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
HTCRUU.dll
RUU.dll
BaUpgradeUt.exe
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
HTCRUU.conf
RUU.conf
vbscript.dll
nk.nbf
SetOperator.bat
3. Temporarily remove your SD Card (it may work for you with the SD card still in your BA, but you may not be able to enter USB mode when cradled).
Just remove your SD Card from you BA and the SIM card too just to make sure.
4. Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and holding the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button. Ooops before I forgot make sure you do a Hard Reset on your BA first.
Press and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button until “Serial” shows on screen.
(Some BlueAngel shows "Serial" at the top and "V2.07" at the bottom.)
NOTE: The screen will not be backlit, so it may appear the phone is not in bootloader mode.
Look carefully.
When the USB sync cable is inserted into the phone and the computer, "Serial" will change to "USB", provided that the phone detects the connection.

5. Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle.
7. Now you can execute the installer file. (BaUpgradeUt.exe or MaUpgradeUt.exe) You will see this window:
8. When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset.
When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...
Put back your SD Card and you SIM card.
And there you go...I hope this makes upgrading easy for you and for everyone else. Did I missed something guys? Let me know.
WOW this is the longest post I've ever had since I started here...hehehe...just killing some TIME.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But is awsome men! really good work this is really a clean explanaition an dmaybe a refreshed how to upgrade....! truly!

thanks thanks thanks hehehe

onto the storage card root
3. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right,
and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction
THEN IT SAY TO UPGRADE TO POWER BUTTON, I PRESS THEN PROGRESS

CONTINITY UPGRADING ROM, PLEASE WAIT, THEN GO LOADING......
HOW TO REVIVE IT????
NEED HELP SIR.

Do you have a card reader?
If so, plug into PC and check if the ROM is indeed on the card and correctly named.
Device needs a full charge, this is imperative.
It is not a good idea to interrupt a ROM flash.
Report back with answers and I'll try to get you back up and running.

hello sir,
i am new member of this forum.also i proud to be part of this forum.
i have one X1 XPERIA. BEFORE IT WAS CHINESE/JAPANESE LANGUAGE.
SO I ASK TO GSMHOSTING.
THERE I FOUND SOME SOLUTION. LIKE:
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure your micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd, and put that it your X1,
onto the storage card root
3. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right,
and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction
THEN IT SAY TO UPGRADE TO POWER BUTTON, I PRESS THEN PROGRESS
BAR COME IN SCREEN. THEN FULL UPGRADE SET LIKE RESTART....
BUT NOW ON WHITE LIGHT COME THIS WORD (LOADING.....)
TILL HERE I DO SUCESSFUL BUT NOW SET HANG ON (LOADING...)
I LEAVE 3 HOUR BUT SAME.

Hello!
Try this, then flashing again:ftp://x1:[email protected]/XperiaX1/TOOLs/X1_HardSPL_Utility.zip
Your spl is:spl-0.72.OliNex? If it is not the spl-0.72.OliNex version (check it on the tricolour boot screen ) will not succeed then the flashing.
HARD-SPL XPERIA X1 INSTRUCTIONS
Flashing Olinex Hard-SPL will not hard-reset your device
Nothing will be changed (except the SPL)
But it is recommended to backup your info first, just in case
1- Charge phone at least 50% (90-100% recommended)
2- Sync device, be sure activesync finishes syncing
3- Run "X1_HardSPL.exe
"
4
- Follow the on-screen instructions
WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
When "Loading..." bar shows in PC, check device screen
Phone goes into "bootloader mode" (tricolour screen)
Hard-SPL flashes automatically and device reboots
Done
TO CONFIRM A SUCCESSFUL HARD-SPL:
Go into bootloader mode (hold vol down key and press power)
Verify in the tricolour screen: "0.72.OliNex
"

but problem is that how to sync with pc? in this condition?

No need to sync with PC to flash via SD card.
If you have the ROM on the card and Hard_spl on the device, follow instructions listed in the thread.
DO NOT sync with PC until flash is complete.

i confused? how long will take??

not 100% as I'm very much an amateur at this , but that kovsimg file is WAY too small. What are you trying to flash on it??
If a full rom, the size will be in tens or probably a hundred and more MBs.

And a successful flash has taken me about 10 minutes in the past, but I've only done it twice.

the "kovsimg.nbh" is incomplete, it should be a lot bigger like the above poster has said, at least 70mb.
Im not sure if having a capital K has any affect.
Where did you get your rom from?
Sorry, im not familiar where the "Loading..." comes from.. is that before or after where you press the Power Button to start flashing the kovsimg?
Edit: nvm, loading is just before kovsimg.nbh is found. You will need to download the rom properly. Check the file size and make sure its big as in 100-200mb, and place it in the root of the storage card with the name "kovsimg.nbh" lower case.

That is correct.
The file you are showing is most likely the Hard_spl file which is about that size.
A full Rom runs from 130MB to 220MB depending on contents.

"Loading" is normal. It will move from 1% to 100% as the ROM is flashed.

Yeah. I just went to the bootloader to check it out again.. normally i just spam the power button till it starts flashing.. hence i dont remember such a text
But ya.. it shows up just before it confirms the location of a proper kovsimg.. but i thought it would say "invalid image file" which happened to me once.. not get stuck in "Loading.."
I usually flash my phone once every week or two.. new releases of cooked roms are just that great ;D

THANKS BRO.
U CAN GIVE ME FULL ENGLISH ROM PLEASE?(NOT RAPIDSHARE)
i search rom's but all rapidshare link,it's need premiur account.i don't have that. thatsway i need free (without account)
link.

There's a fine selection of roms on this forums.. worth checking out to see which one is for you, each has its features and specialties.
The question is.. do you want WindowsMobile 6.1 or 6.5? Want TouchFlo3D? 2.1 ("TR", faster, stable, less ram and battery usage) or 2.5? ("Leo", experimental, slightly sluggish and drains more battery than TR, but nicer looking and better "Home" screen); you can skip TF3D and opt for SBP Shell tooo...
My favorite is agent_47's Valkyrie Firestorm (Rhodium\TOPAZ) @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050
But be careful when installing your own applications as it may conflict with the rom and causes it unstable ._. if you want a lot apps you want to install, you may want to not use TF3D (you can use the rom but you can disable TF3D in home settings, which is normally defaulted to "Titanium (WinMo6.5)" home screen )
Edit: You can download from Rapidshare for free when you click the "free user" button which should be next to the "premium user" button and wait around 30-50 seconds before it allows you to download; you don't need a premium account ^_^

Well, I'd say go for Agent_47's Valkyrie Firestorm (Rhod/Topz) version 5.0.28005, download it from his FTP.. I downloaded from that on a 56k dialup speed (capped internet.. bloody Australia) which took 6 hours and it came out perfect
Check out his thread @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050; sorry i cant hotlink people's stuff.. so you'd have to visit their thread
If you have time to play around a few roms to test with, i'd recommend MrRusch & WildChild - Untamed @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568918
Also, check the other cooks' work too

thank you bro help me.
at last i want to know this files also flashing via sd card?
any others file also keep in sd card??
please add me to your massanger
id is : [email protected]
thank you.

You can flash any kovsimg straight from a SD card, just make sure it's named correctly and it's placed in the root. You can have other files/folders on the SD card as well, it wont affect it, so no need deleting everything before flashing. The only file that will be used in the flashing of the device is whatever's named kovsimg.nbh (sp?) and nothing else.
One advice after flashing is.. hard reset the device straight after. Hardreset as in pressing and holding the two silver softkeys then press and release the power button, follow the instruction (press R and then Spacebar on the hardware keyboard). You can only hardreset when the device is off first.
Hard Resetting will get rid of a lot of problems which didn't occur for other people until the applications you install on top conflicts with the system (mostly with TF3D)

Windows 10 PRO International custom installation (c5j6 tested)

Hi guys
starting from the windows international iso, I have decided to create a custom installation with already integrated the drivers that comes with the last windows 10 release from Teclast (you can find it here).
WHAT YOU GET:
Windows 10 Pro international
Latest drivers from Teclast
latest updates from Microsoft
.net framework
This iso has been tested on my device (C5J6 with 2.02 bios). Everything is working with out a problem.
INTEGRATED DRIVERS

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can download a detailed version here
WHAT YOU NEED
Windows iso (download link on 2nd post)
8GB USB key
USB Hub
USB Keyboard
USB mouse (optional)
A computer running windows
RUFUS (https://rufus.akeo.ie/)
Before you start, ensure you have everything ready. You will need an empty usb key, that will be erased during the process.
INSTRUCTIONS
The process will be divided in two stages. The first will create the usb key with the windows installer. The second will boot the tablet from the usb key and let you install windows 10.
Stage 1
Download the windows iso (link below) and Rufus
Insert your usb key
Start RUFUS
Select your USB key (BE CAREFUL!!! IT WILL BE ERASE)
Select MBR for UEFI (Fig. 1)
Select the downloaded iso and click "start"
Once the process is done, you have a bootable usb key with the Windows installation.
Before starting stage 2, you have to boot your tablet to windows. This is MANDATORY, otherwise you will not be able to boot the usb key. This is due to the nature of the dual boot bios.
Stage 2
Switch off the tablet (FROM WINDOWS! MANDATORY)
Connect everything (mouse,keyboard and usb key) to the usb hub
Connect the usb hub to the tablet
Switch on the tablet
As soon as the screen switch on, start press "ESC" for entering the bios
From the bios select "Save & Exit" (Fig. 2.1)
Select your USB key form "Boot Override" (Fig. 2.2)
Now the tablet will boot from the usb key. The process now is straightforward, just follow the instruction prompt from windows installer.
The installation process will be the usual, for installing windows.
PS: If you have rotation problem, download the Gsensor fix from there: GSensor
First install the .exe than the reg key
Hope you will enjoy :good:

Hi, I have something to ask:
1) Is it a pre-activated ISO?
2) Does this procedure touch Android partitions? (and Android system of course)
3) During installation process (windows wizard), what partition do you select to install windows?
Thanks..

Hi,
1)No. You will need a serial for activate it
2/3)No. If you start from a tablet that already has a dual boot config (== windows + android already installed), the internal disk will be already partitioned. So you will just need to select and format the partition with the old windows.
OFC, If you want, during the installation wizard you can repartition the whole internal drive.

Nono wait what do you need?

I am saying that once partitioned with the Intel manufacturing tools, I do not need to chance the partition scheme any more.
If i want to switch from win 8.1 to win 10, i just format the windows partition.
If i want to switch from lollipo to KitKat just flash with adb /data /system partitions.

Can I use this iso for upgrading from within current windows 8.1?

Greetings

Are you sure? This sound very strange to me.
During the install process you have to chose the "PRO" version.

No one told you to buy a PRO license. If you want use your Home key, just install the home version and then use the drivers pack that I have provided.
I have an original PRO key, so I have modded the pro version.
BTW I will integrate the drivers also in the home version, but you will have to w8, since I currently can not upload it.

Hope you can release International Windows 10 Home version with drivers too since most teclast tablet are shipped with Home licence key. Thanks =)

do integrated driver on the home version please. hurry up. 99%has the home version.

Here we are
