[Q] [HELP] Android instead of Windows Mobile - XPERIA X1 Android Development

Hi,
I've got a xperia x1 and i want to have android instead of windows mobile.
But if i run android by the tuts it doesnt start when i boot the device.
so i want to delete windows mobile fully and want only android
how can i do this?
Thanks Wipped
PS srry for bad english

You can't replace WM with Android yet but you can do so Haret autostarts, use the search function and you will find how to do it.
I don't think that they have solve how to boot from internal memory so you have to have Android on the SD-card.

use dual boot & select android as the default OS

how do i do that? (dual boot)

entering bootloader

hi, I'm new in the forum,
my xperia x1 has a little problem, it hasn't got the power button , I want to try installing android OS but my problem is entering the bootloader without the power button...is it possible?
thanks
to run android you mustn't enter bootloader because you run anroid out of winmo by pressing haret.exe so you don't need to enter bootloader
but installing android will delete winmo? if I install android and I wants to return to winmo what I have to do?
and if I do a complete backup with spb backup and then I install android how can I restore everything from the backup?
at the moment you are not able to put android on your phone instead of winmo, you run windows mobile and run haret.exe then it will launch android, it boots into android (and don't touch your windows mobile, it run in the background) if you restart your phone it will boot windows and then you have to click haret.exe if you want to run android. It doesn't erease your winmo. Android is installed on the SD card not on the phone
Sorry for my bad English, and if I have to open a new thread cause I'm a little off-topic just say me
by the way I've tried installing and now I understand
another question...why some Android versions have some files with the same name in the same folder of the package I download?
the files that in the other versions are in the folder "npkinstall" are in the root folder and when I try copying the files in the SDcard it says that there are some files with the same name and I can't keep them both (startup and zImage)

New windows 10 update solves a lot of problems!

Just a general remark:
The new Win10 update from microsoft wich is rolling out as of today solves a lot of issues on the x98 tablets.
For example networking issues on mobile plans are solved, battery indicator fixed, no more flashing of notification shade, overall response much faster. And that's just at first glance.
This looks pretty cool!

Thanks ! it is workable when remove SD card . they could upgrade to 586 successful .
What about the orientation problem with the new update!
Orientation is all messed up again and the reg file from the drivers pack does not work any more!
No problems on both x98s. Came from original bing 8.1, upgraded to 10 and now to the new build without issues. C5j6 and c8j6.
On c8j6 cameras not working
3g, wifi, screen rotation, gps all ok
on c5j6 all is working: camera, gps, 3g, wifi, screen rotation, sd card etc.

I'm having the same issue. Had to lock the screen into the correct position. Have not found a solution. I think I will need to mess around with the registry to fix it.
I tried the update twice on my dual with no success. I had removed the SD as I'd been warned about it : the first time it shut down, maybe because the battery was low (despite of the power supply being plugged). When I rebooted it said I needed 14Gb to start the update, so I plugged a OTG USB Key and gave its path. Then it started and downloaded the update again, and failed (I don't know when). Now I'm confused about how to do this update.

You need the SD and USB drives removed for it to update. Delete stuff to make room or go the reinstall route.
I still have issues with touch screen rotation after the update...
Thank you for your help. My windows partition is almost mint, I just installed the Window 10 pro from this forum, office, Kodi. There is 3gb of free space, afaik I can't do much better. I'll check wether there is to clean files from windows update, and I'll try again without SD/USB
Did you delete the previous Windows installs?
Old versions of Windows will be left on the drive in case you want to revert back and they take up a lot of space.
You can do drive clean and use the advanced or admin only option and check how much is in the old windows file.
I don't have my tablet with me or I could give you the exact path
With a 32 Gb partition you should have close to 16 Gb free... at least... I'm sporting windows 10 November update...
It failed again and again, I give up.
Questions to those who succeeded :
- how much free space did you have?
- did you have Windows 10 normal or PRO?

my teclast is original partitioned and the windows partition is 37.5GB in size.
at the moment I have over 16GB free space, this is with libreoffice, adobe première elements, utorrent and several small tools installed. all these were also installed before the november update.
I am using windows 10 home as official upgrade from 8.1bing
Hi,
I'm wondering: On Win10 (pre1511) my x98 (c5j6) always tries to install a new graphics driver - but always fails. ALso, I can manually start this process in the device manager, same result.
What else can I do?
Best wishes

Hey, I succeeded to get it to work on air II. I had to do the following:
- change the battery mode to never turn screen / power off when plugged
- cleaned c: drive - deleted system files (including windows updates to force redownload)
- ran the update and this time it worked
The other alternative is download the Microsoft Media Creation tool, create a new USB installation media (include updates), and then do a "clean" install (reinstall windows 10). This will install windows 10 with the 1151 build.
It's worth it as it now allows us to use the SD card to install apps!
Thank you for your feedback.
As I can't get more free space, I'll wait the next W10 big update. At this time, I'll format all partitions to get more space for windows, by reducing the android one.
I tried the media creation tool but not chosing a fresh install, only update. Failed.

same here on a C9J8 ?
would love to have a working camera for video calls. Any way to fix that?
oh, and the CPU seems limited to 1.6GHz?
Last night I installed an update for Windows 10 version 1511 (KB3124200) and everthing seems to be smoother. The only problem I have is that the battery stays at 7% for a long time. Tried to completely discharge it but doesn't work...

Teclast X80 Pro (E3E6) Dual OS (Win10/Android 5.0): Remove Windows

Hey guys. Sorry to bother you in the X98 section, but since there's no section for the X80 yet and maybe the devices have some similarities, I hope it's ok.
The tablet worked fine, but to remove any possible bloatware under Windows or Android, I reset Windows. Somehow the device must have crashed (low battery?) and now I can't boot to Windows anymore (black screen and / or boot loop). Of course I made no backup / recovery disk. Android still works fine and I still get into BIOS / UEFI.
I tried reinstalling Windows via OTG with USB stick. I got to the point where I can choose a partition. Problem is, there are lots of partitions (Android, recovery, System and so on). I located the Windows partition, formatted / deleted it and tried to reinstall Windows on this partition. Just the exact way I would do it on a PC. Somehow it won't install on this partition. The error message says something about "the partitions are not in the recommended order. Further information for installation on GPT-volumes..." (I don't know the exact English phrasing because everything is in German). I chose "continue anyway". Then I get the message that "the EFI-system is not formatted in NTFS. Format the partition to FAT32 and start install procedure again". I press ok and get back to Windows Setup (Install now).
I also tried different repair and recovery options. One time I got error code 0xC0000034. Funny thing is, Windows still seems to be there because while trying to repair / recover I tried to load some drivers and could see the hard drives and folders under Windows.
I tried downloading the original roms here: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qYEa8gc
You need a Baidu account for the larger files and after days and days I gave up to create such an account as it seems to work only with a mainland China number. There's an option for oversea mobiles but that's not working. I tried a QQ-account, but Baidu wants to link with it and you need that telephone number again. So apparently there's no way to get the original files that way.
I found some stuff here: http://www.needrom.com/download/teclast-x80-pro-dualboot/ but that's only a tutorial file in Chinese and some flash programms / drivers (also got them from Baidu - smaller files are possible to download without an account).
Long story short: I guess recovering Windows 10 is too much effort, so I want to make the tablet Android only and of course want to use the whole capacity for Android. I found a thread on reddit about removing Windows on the X98: https://www.reddit.com/r/teclast/comments/479eua/teclast_x89_how_to_remove_windows_10/
But I have no idea which partitions are definitely needed for Android and which ones I can safely delete. I found a partition map here: http://wheresmykeyboard.com/2015/08/teclast-x98-air-64gb-dual-boot-default-partition-map/ but that doesn't help me that much because they look different.
Attached you will find a photo of all the partitions on my device. I guess there are some which were created during the failed Windows installation because I had about 20 GB free space and now only 17.7 GB.
So is there anybody out there who knows if it's possible to remove Windows completely and which partitions I have to delete?
Did you ever figure this out? I just bought an X80 Pro and was thinking of doing something similar since I plan on making it an android-only tablet.

Hi. Sorry for the late replay. Yes, I figured it out and my X80 Pro is now running Android-only with 32 GB. In the end, it wasn't that hard but a long way to success.

Ok, guys. Since some of you are asking how I did it, I'm going to try to explain it. It's kinda embarrassing that I don't remember the exact way but I hope it helps somehow. I used the tutorial from this site: http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/x80-plus-android-os-only/#login
Even though it's supposed to be for the Plus model, it also worked on the Pro. Btw, the guy Alex in that thread is me .
You can download all the files from my Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxEFqy4Rt9w_cnh3VG9ySk5sOHM
You need
- Android5.1 Upgrade Tool.rar
- X80 Pro (E3E6)- Dual OS - Android5.1-V1.04 Firmware.rar
- gpt.rar (Credit goes to Allember @techtablets-forum; hope it's ok to spread the file)
First you have to install the flash tool. Unrar the firmware and replace the gpt.bin. Then flash the firmware by checking BLANK.
Problem is that when I did all that, my Windows was already crushed and wasn't working anymore. I can't remember anymore if I erased the Windows partitions or any others beforehand. If you're not interested in Windows anymore, just flash it without changing or erasing any of the partitions. I guess by replacing the gpt-file, you do all that automatically.
I hope this somehow helps you. Feel free to ask for more help.
Have a good night!

Hi @metalaxi. Do you think its possible to like "reverse" and use the same files to remove Android instead and maintain the Windows 10? Appreciate to hear from you. Thanks!
Do we have to change the gpt before doing what you said in your PDF? Or I have just to follow your PDF?
Hi guys, got mine a few months and want to get rid of the Windows part, but the instructions are insufficient for a joker like me.....
1. Download the firmware, its 4 parts of rar being zipped together
2. flash the firmware HOW?!?!?! I have no Idea...... please give us some closer instructions.

Sorry, I can't answer that sufficent enough. As far as I know, you can just delete all partitions except the ones from Windows. Then format the unallocated space and merge it with the one from Windows. No guarantee!

1. Which 4 parts do you mean?
2. To flash any firmware, you need to install all the upgrade tools:
IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0
iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0
PhoneFlashTool_5.3.4.0_internal_win32

Please help. I can not download from Baidu
* If I use phoneFlasTool and flash a blank disc - Create Flash partition and dual boot and replace recovery?
What to do with an empty disc?
Thanks for any advice
It is not so hard. By mine it was only trial and error. Installiert all drivers an go in the bootloader with three Finger method. Go two levels up and go into bootloader. Then connect to PC and look in Intel flashing tool if connection is reconiced correctly. Select the downloaded file and select flash. Thats it. Device will reboot and you are ready to go.

Thank you for the advice. That's right, I did it was marked. I found a reason. rom file was saved on desktop, and had a long name (as I downloaded it) It must copy the file to C've renamed the firmware. Everything went alright. I downloaded and used the GPT files for resizing disk and now goes all right. Thank you for responding to my question.

Straightforward if you can obtain a USB stick capable of storing over 7GB (some 8GB sticks may not); USB hub (ideally a powered hub); USB keyboard; OTG cable.
1) Obtain the Windows files of the correct firmware. The procedure outlined here is for E6E9 firmware, but other firmware will be similar. Download the circa 6.5GB E6E9 firmware Windows files from https://yadi.sk/d/XEvRsoiD3Q4vKX or https://mega.nz/#F!I0AXGR5C!YiNFkZL9DIvzepH28qAjEQ (or from appropriate source for your firmware version).
Decompress the downloads as required to obtain six folders and two files.
2) Format the stick to FAT32.
3) Name the stick WINPE (five uppercase characters).
4) Copy the previously mentioned folders and files to the USB stick.
5) Plug USB stick and USB keyboard into hub; plug hub into OTG cable; plug OTG cable into tablet whilst the tablet is off.
6) Turn on tablet and immediately start tapping << Delete >> key on USB keyboard. This should open the UEFI config section prior to Android boot option. If the tablet displays the Android boot option, turn off the tablet, wait a few seconds, then turn on and start tapping << Delete >> key on USB keyboard again.
7) When in UEFI, touch the title menu option of << Save and Exit >> and look in the << Boot Override >> section for the name of your USB stick, then touch the name of your USB stick. The screen will immediately go blank as the tablet starts to boot from the USB stick.
8) After a few minutes, a numerically display of progress will be displayed in a CMD window.
9) After reaching 100% and nearing completion of the overall installation, the tablet will prompt for acceptance, so accept that prompt.
10) The setup will run a few final operations for a few seconds, then automatically reboot.
11) Done.
You will be prompted to complete the OOBE on each Windows boot until you complete OOBE.

Switch from Windows to Android

Hi, My tablet always starts in Windows. and I could not find the app to switch from windows to android. Could I download it anywhere?
With a new start there ist no boot choise more, I don't know why

Please help me and bring Windows back on my Teclast X98 Air 3G (C5J6)

Hi,
a few months ago, I had the "great" idea to delete Windows and use my Tablet on Android only. I have 64 GB for Android now. But now I realy need Windows back again. Is there anybody who can help me step by step to install Windows on the tablet again? Instantly the dual-boot screen apears, but there is only the Android logo to select.
Thank you so much for your help.
Greetings from Germany
Markus
1.- Install Mirek v7 with full partition (option only Android)
2.- Boot with usb (using rufus an selecting mode "GPT" on type of booting) Win10 (I recommend you win10 ltsb)
3.- In the instalation, when you stay in partition screen scroll down and select unlocated space partition and install..
END
