Hello guys ,Its possible to flash roms for the tablet with a computer using windows 10 because evertime that i tried to do it i got only a 14% at least
Obviously its a driver issue but there is any update or fix to this thanks :good:
Win 10 is not the best OS to use in order to flash ROMs at the moment..
Maybe try to use Virtual Machine with Win7 installed..

Better than with Windows:
Yes try with the UEFI method
There is no more risk to brick your X98 than with any other methods if you follow the instructions.
You do it from the same computer/tablet so no no cable and No other computers involved :cyclops:
Just DON'T forget at the end of the process/flashing to shutdown the tablet by pressing the Power button for 15 seconds
How Flash your BIOS via the UEFI shell:
You connect a USB hub to your tablet and connect a Keyboard to the hub and a USB key with the BIOS file + FPT.efi command and the fparts.txt on the USB Drive.
Important: To be recognized by the UEFI SHELL BIOS the USB must be formatted with GPT AND in Fat32, the more EZ is to use the RUFUS utility to format the USB drive. So don't forget to format the USB drive before copying the files
You power up the tablet and press "ESC" key to enter in the BIOS.
In the BIOS you go to the Boot selection and choose "UEFI Shell"
You will see a screen like this:
{
"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"
}
You press any key to have the SHELL prompt (There is not Startup.nsh on tablet it's a generic message in UEFI bios)
You are now in the UEFI shell, it's a little bit like the old DOS shell.
We now need to know where is the USB drive so you will type "map -r" (Without the quotes)
It will list all the devices available:
You try to find your USB drive, usually you will see "Removable Hardrive" in the name somewhere.
To be sure you have the good device you type at the prompt:
"ls FS1:" (Without the quotes) and press "enter"
It will list the files so if you see the BIOS file and the fpt.efi file you are at the right place if not try another device FS1 FS2 etc...
Once you are in the right device it's EZ:
First we will do a back-up of the BIOS, so Type:
"fpt.efi -D MyOriginalBios.bin" (Without the quotes) and press "enter"
It will do a backup of your bios named "MyOriginalBios.bin" saved on the USB drive.
Now we will Flash the BIOS so type:
"fpt.efi -f MyNewBios.bin" (Without the quotes) and replace MyNewBios with the name of the bios file) and press "enter"
The process will begin you wait few minutes till it end and you should receive a message that the process was successful.
IMPORTANT: At this point you shutdown the tablet by pressing the Power button for 15 seconds
That's it ! Enjoy ! :laugh:

For the BIOS you can use any BIOS from 1.03 to 2.05

This is a guide of easy installing Ubuntu on a second drive (not partitioning) or a pen drive which you can carry around your system.
First of all we need VmWare : VMware Workstation 9
Ubuntu CD: Ubuntu Download
First we download VmWare and Ubuntu CD (I used 12.10)…
After successful setup of VmWare create a new VM.
Using New VM Wizard we choose Custom (Advanced).
Hardware Compability --> Vmware 9.0
We select the Ubuntu CD to the Installer Disc Image File.

}
Enter desired username and password
Give VM a name and select the place for config files
(as we will use physical disk to install,
only a small amount of data will written to this folder)
Select the number of cores you will spend for this VM
Select the Memory you will spend for this VM
Select the Network type you desire
Select I/O Controller Type
When in Select Disk screen Select Use a physical disk (for advanced users).
In Vista/7/8 Admin Rights needed for this operation
Select the Second Drive (separate disk or Usb stick) and select Use Entire Disk
ATTENTION: YOU WILL LOOSE ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS PARTITION SO BE CAREFUL WHEN SELECTING. AND DON’T BLAME ME FOR LOOSING YOUR PRECIOUS DATA.
Just hit next
Select Customize Hardware. Remove Floppy and close. Hit Finish
When VM restarts it will repartition your drive removing old one and creating Ubuntu partitions
Wait for Ubuntu Setup to copy system Files
You can enter your system with the username and password you have selected while creating VM.
If no problem occurs you can now browse your favorite forum.
And if you install your Ubuntu to a Pen Drive, you can use it on any computer by selecting your pen drive as Primary Boot Drive from BIOS.
Multiboot Selection from Windows
There is a magic tool called EasyBCD which we can take control of the Windows Boot menu easily.
We can easily download a non commercial one from its site: EasyBCD Download
After setup, open the program. Select Add New Entry from left menu. And on the right panel select Linux/BSD.
Select:
Type: GRUB 2
Name: Whatever you want
Drive: Automatically locate and load
Click Add Entry. And all done now we have multi boot menu which can load windows or ubuntu on choice.
If you install Ubuntu on a Pen Drive or a removable drive, dont forget to plugin before starting your computer.
Reserved for something but cant remember now....
This would be better suited in another, more general forum, considering it's not related to Android devices.
I also don't think such an easy thing needs yet another guide (plenty of tutorials all over the Internet), but that's just my opinion. Good effort nevertheless.

Ok send a PM to one of the moderator. is it enough?
I will be needing this! Thanks alot!
Hello, I have tried to follow the AIO guide that has a sticky, but I had no luck there. I ended up installing "adb-setup-1.4.2" by snoop05 on my windows PC and that got me started in the right direction (I think). I've unlocked my bootloader, it says device is UNLOCKED: status code 3. Awesome.
Now to use CF-Auto-Root. I have my phone in bootloader mode. I run "root-windows" batch file and the cmd prompt comes up (ran as admin), I press any key to continue and this happens:

I then press any key again, and nothing changes. No red android, no change.
What the f*** am I doing wrong?!
Please halp!
Thank you.
What I did was shift right click in the explorer window and you should see a option to open cmd window here. Then type in root-windows.bat and hit enter.
Basically the cmd prompt is not at the right directory. Which is causing the failure
Wow ok, I figured it out. Don't run as administrator, just run the batch file normally.
/facepalm.

I don't know that administrator mode was the problem. Like Elevate08 wrote, just opening the batch file probably didn't work because adb wasn't in the same directory. I added adb/fastboot to the PATH variable so I can run it from anywhere. I don't use the explorer for this sort of thing though. I just open a command prompt.
He wasnt in the correct place to do what he did.....the files are in a folder called root and the batch file called cmd.exe from windows\system32
Open a command prompt in the root folder as administrator, then run the batch file from the command line. Or open the command prompt and then run the batch file as administrator which is the same difference

Hey thanks everyone for the replies. I didn't do anything different other than running the windows batch file normally, instead of running as administrator. I'm sure it was cringe worthy to a lot of people on here but at least I got it done. I installed TWRP and did a backup, which I then transferred to my PC. downloading a custom ROM now, and going to give that a try too
Hi there,
I have a E6335, isn't there released adb drivers for windows 10 pro x64?
I've used the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" pack from here, and i can get it to reboot through ADB, but after that it isn't recognized, so i have to perform a hard reboot throug the button beside the sim.
Im not that familiar with adb and fastboot, so if anyone could guide me, i'll be very thankful.
Kind regards.
driver signed in Windows 10
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/minitut-installing-adb-drivers-sony-t3185585
... and tell us if it works (should with the proper drivers from SONY's developer site).
Hi there,
It dosn't work.
Genuine drivers was installed, but i did a reinstall, same problem, the S1 Fastboot driver is not installed.
Drivers works fine, until i perform the "adb reboot bootloader" command in adb, after that, the fastboot driver is unknown in device manager.
I've tried to perform the unlock command afterwards, but it keeps hanging on the "waiting for device".
Performing the "fastboot devices" dosn't work.

I see the wrong command in your screenshot.
You know how to get into fastboot mode?
Power off the device. Hold "Volume up" (until the LED turns blue) and plug in USB cable.
I do not know, what you are up to with unlocking the bootloader but if these first steps go so badly you better stop here before attempting to root the device or doing something else. You could end up with a brick.
reboot w10 with advanced startup > advanced options > disable driver signature enforcement.
then install S1 driver from flashtools package. this issue has been covered since win8.
I'm not a newb in droid phones, just the adb. And i've just used the commands from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/general/bootloader-unlock-tip-t3165018
And if thats wrong, i think that it should be corrected.
And same issue as the before mentioned, when i use the vol up option.
@monx
I'll try that right away. I've just updated all 6 machines to win10 from 7, so im not that familiar with it yet

Type fastboot devices and see if a device name tag gets listed. If not, it means you haven't installed the usb drivers correctly.
Are you on Windows 8 or 10?
To install ADB and Fastboot drivers on Windows 8 and 10, a forum member posted the following solution:
1. Uninstall all drivers for HTC phone
2. Install latest HTC Sync Manager
3. Connect phone in normal mode
4. Connect phone in fastboot mode (system reports unrecognized device)
5. Run regedit as administrator
6. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\usbflags
7. Right-click on usbflags, click new > key, name it 0BB40FF00100
8. Select 0BB40FF00100 and in the right window right click > new > binary value
9. Rename created binary value to SkipBOSDescriptorQuery
10. Right click SkipBOSDescriptorQuery > modify binary data, type 01 00 00 00 , click ok
11. Unplug usb cable and plug again.
12. In fastboot cmd window type fastboot devices, press enter and see if your device is listed
You can also try WinDroid, it works with Desire 500

Can i use disable driver signature enforcement in windows 8.1 to use adb for this device?Without modifying registry only allow unsigned driver.
Hey guys,
First time trying to flash a rom (using Windows 11). At first the Razer phone 2 showed up in my device manager as 'Android' with a yellow warning sign. I managed sort that by installing the latest android_winusb.inf drivers, and it shows up in the device manager As oculus Device>Andriod Composite ADB interface (not sure why it's under the Oculus tab, I didn't use the Oculus driver).
I've tried all three drivers (ADB Interface, Bootloader interface and Composite ADB interface) and the results are the same. When I send the 'fastboot devices' command, it will report
''???????????? fastboot'' and then it switches to the razer logo with 'Powered by Android' and 'Press any key to shutdown' text and is no longer in fastboot mode.
I assume the question marks are supposed to be a serial number.
Anyone have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?
FYI, I've also tried 2 usb 2 ports, a usb 3, and two different Type A to C cables.
This happened to me. You need to run Powershell/Terminal in the path of the folder containing the Platform Tools. See example photo.

Thank you so much for your help, I will give this a try.
There is some sort of issue with Windows 11 and arter97-r12 and -r13. I was going to do a fresh install of SMR3 because of a few software issues and Google Play app updates. When booted into Recovery and making backups and moving files, I ended the session and rebooted "System" from TWRP boot menu. Upon execution, TWRP warned me there was no OS installed.. WORST NIGHTMARES. I've finally gotten it recovered, but what a MESS. Download platform-tools v33.0.1 from google and follow the directions from Razer to properly install ADB Fastboot drivers. See links below:
Platform-Tools: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Razer Driver installation: PDF attached
UPDATE: I found the issue was NOT necessarily my version of platform tools, It was my USB port. I am using a Surface Pro7 and tried multiple different cable and both the USB-C and -A ports to no avail. Would not communicate in fastboot mode, BUT, I then used a 4-port USB 3.0 hub, connected the phone, and all ADB/fastboot commands and communication functioned normally. once I figured this out, I was able to reinstall the proper drivers on Windows.
Same problem, u PC AMD?
