Air III won't boot on USB drive - Teclast X98 Air 3G

Hi!
I'm trying to install Windows 10 on a M5C5 Air III running Guznos rom, I can't get it to boot on the USB drive.... Check the video, the sceen flashes and goes back to the bios
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csAi7mh-g1Q
I've tried:
- making the USB bootable with Iso2Disc and Rufus, using GPT uefi
- on 2 different tablets
- with 2 different USB drives
- with 2 different ISO files of Windows 10 x86
- flashing bios with 2.05 version found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65166671&postcount=87
- using OTG hub and OTG cable
Anybody have an idea what I could try?
Thanks!

After a little research, I figured my UEFI is in x64, so it couldn't boot on the usb drive because there was only the bootia32.efi in the Fs1:\EFI\BOOT\ folder. So I download Windows x64 and coppied the bootia64.efi file to efi\boot folder and it booted!!
But now I'm getting the following message.... I guess it expected the rest of the files to be x64 too. But I read on many threads that installing x64 Windows on the Air III M5C5 would brick the device.... So I'm kinda confused now :/
Anybody has an idea??

Or more simply: did anyone install x86 Windows on a x64 uefi Air III ?

I realise this is a dead thread, but for posterity's sake :
do NOT try flashing an x64 iso (or an AIO windows iso), it will hard brick your device without exception.
Before installing Win10 x86 and Android, you need the M5C5 dual boot bios v1.00, there is no decent step-by-step on how to do this.
This should get you started : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63984637&postcount=18

I know this is old but do you remember how did you solve the problem? I can't install the dual boot either.

i followed the instructions to which i linked in my previous post.
But, tbh, Win10 on this device isn't worth it.
I reverted back to Android-only.

Hey ! Need help

Hey ! as this is off topic forum i need help of pc not phones
So here's d problem
I have 2 motherboards
1 is on XP sp2
Another one has Xp sp 3
rite now i m running on motherboard with sp2
So i wanna switch motherboard from sp2 to sp3
Both of the motherboards have diffrent chip sets and all
So any way to Switch motherboards without changing windows ???
Wut?
Windows in on the Hard Drive. Sometimes when you boot windows on a different HD it will work, other times it won't. Try it. If it does boot up, install the drivers and register windows. But to tell you the troth, I really don't understand your OP

OP meanS?
I wanted to switch motherboards !
I have 2 boards
Other one was of office nd i brought home coz dad took new motherboard
If i switch board it will boot ? Nd how to update drivers nd register windows ?
I think I'm starting to understand now. And OP stands for original post in this case.
Go to the manufacturer's website, go to support, type model name, download the necessary ones.
Put in the new mother board. Try booting up, if it doesn't try Safe Mode by pressing F8 when you boot. If one of those works, install the drivers from a USB stick. If they don't work, take a windows CD and try doing a repair, or reformat the whole system. Also, if you have no idea how to do any of that, give it to a professional.
i was going to call profesnal but he is out of stations ! Nd i dont noe model no. nd even winows inside is of duplicate cd
Every thing is of dublicate cd
Windows is not stored on the motherboard.
But what about drivers and all ??

You should be asking this question on a Microsoft forum.

I think I bricked my Tab?

It is showing a small round mobile phone, 2 dots, a ! inside an orange triangle, 2 more dots, and a computer.
This is the first time I'm seeing this screen.
Edit: Just to give some insight as to what I was doing...
I was using a SGT7 build of CM9, and I noticed USB Tethering wasn't working (native nor Wired Tether 1.4 worked). I had to run to a friends house for the night real fast, so I figured I'd just go back to Stock firmware and use that for a few hours just so my desktop could get Internet.
I am also using Windows 8 Release Preview. Odin could see my device fine, but upon pressing Start to start the flashing process, it did nothing (I'm guessing Odin or Samsung's drivers don't work well on W8RP). No progress was made on either Odin or my tab for about 5 minutes. Since nothing was done, I figured I could close Odin, and restart my Tab. Now I only get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I immediately went to the "How To Unbrick Your Galaxy Tab!" thread, but didn't find mention of the screen I described in this post, and then I made this post in panic.
When I went back to Windows 7, Odin was able to reflash my tab successfully, and USB Tethering was working fine. So perhaps Windows 8 has some weird incompatibility with Samsung Drivers? In any case, this might serve as a warning to anyone trying to use Odin in Windows 8.
I think it was mentioned in a few threads.
Many confirmed that it is another download mode.
You just have to make sure it is fully charged, and keep trying Odin restocking. It will go through.
(I never experienced it myself)
Edit: many reference, just search in here fore "phone exclamation pc"
Yea it would seem it's another download mode. I was able to flash with Odin just fine in Windows 7, so all is well again
i have said this in many threads. this is the result of faulty flashing. just use the latest version of odin
please thank me if you found this helpful

Remove Ubuntu on XP Dual Boot Problems

Hi folks,
I've been trying out Ubuntu lately which I installed on my laptop which came with Windows 7 installed but had the downgrade to XP option (which I had to have done as some of my work systems are not compatible with Windows 7 yet).
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and used the partition tool to take 100GB off my Windows and reallocate it to Ubuntu.
Everything has been running fine as I got to grips with how to use Ubuntu to build android ROM's.
Now comes the time I have done what I wanted with Ubuntu and I want to remove it from the dual boot. I have read about 5 different guides how to do this and nothing is working.
As I understand it I need to fix/rebuild my MBR after I remove the Ubuntu partitions, but anything I have tried; including XP installation disc, XP Recovery Console disc, Windows 7 disc.....does not let me press 'R' to repair the system as the guides illustrate.
All the discs designed for XP result in a blue screen of death after it does an initial setup of hardware.
The Windows 7 disc gets further than that and asks me if I want to install 32 or 64 bit and gives me the partition/format options but there is no option to 'Repair'.
When I deleted the Ubuntu partition I was left with the GRUB error and my XP would not boot. After trying about 5 different things to repair the MBR (and failed) I decided re-installing Ubuntu would bring back the GRUB and allow me to dual boot XP again (which worked). But now I have 4 different partitions and I just want to merge them all back to my XP and have a working MBR.
Any ideas guys?
Screenshot of my partitions is attached.

Perhaps you could try Parted Magic or System Rescue CD which can both be burned to either a disk or a usb via Unetbootin. Parted Magic should help you edit/fix your partitions and System Rescue CD should help you repair your system from reading their quick descriptions. I have not used either, but I have used Unetbootin and it works fine for me and those disks are at least worth a try.
Just a btw, but you didn't have to create a new thread for this... you could have posted your question in the Desktop and Laptops thread... that thread + Google should be helpful for all your future endeavors.
Good luck with your computer!

Whatever you do, do it carefully. I used to dual boot w7 and Ubuntu and I removed Ubuntu and somehow corrupted grub, which then caused a hard drive failure

[Q] Someone successfully explored files in nookhd+ cm10 with MTP mode on win8x64?

I'm using cm10.1.3 stable on my nook HD+.And I tried to connect my nook HD+ to PC(win8 x64) with MTP but falied.In device manager,there's a device 'MTP' with yellow triangle.I have tried to 'update the driver',and selected android phone 'the driver on PC',but moments after it told me can't find files.
And I tried to let it search the driver in 'usb_driver_r04-windows',but it said it can't find any files for MTP...
and I have tried to delete the unknown mtp device,and reinstall the driver,but met the same issues
I have tried to on/off the debugging,but the driver install still failed...
Anyone can tell me that how I can explore the file in my nook on PC successfully?(without cardreader)
Thx~
by the way,I have successfully explored files in my xperia phone with MTP mode before
I just solved the issue.:
Disable the Driver Signature Verification in win8,
and delete ALL the possible device that may be related to Nook HD+(I deleted a usb mass storage device,and an android ADB device) in Device manager,
and replug the usb ,
and in 'other devices'
there will appear a new 'BN Nook HD+' and a new 'MTP',
update driver for 'MTP'.
and choose the device driver from computer,
then select ‘portable device’,
from 'Standard MTP device',
select 'MTP driver'(not MTP usb driver),
Next~
All right now

Thanks, but for the ones that can't find "portable devices" like me and have Windows N or KN versions installed (I have Windows 8.1 N x64bits) it results that you must install a Windows .msu update:
Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 7/8/8.1/10
In my case i had to install latest (2014) Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1:

Hope this helps others that can't get MTP to work at all.

[GUIDE] Teclast x98 Air 3G: fresh install Windows 10 and Android with repartitioning

Hi guys,
as we know, Teclast release its tablets with Windows 10 in chinese and Android international (but with bloatware), that's why I decided to format it and reinstall all OSs..
You can apply this guide to ALL Teclast dual boot tablets with the XML repartitioning file in the ROM package.

This is how we could get a native Windows 10 installation in your language:
1) Install Android custom roms made by Mirek190 (thanks a lot for your work man) using Intel MFT by selectiong full repartitioning XML (it erases all partitions and leave an unallocated space to install Win10):
- Teclast x98 Air II & Air 3G KitKat by Mirek190;
- Teclast x98 Air II & Air 3G Lollipop by Mirek190;
2) With a PC, download Microsoft Media Creation Tool and create a bootable Pendrive;
3) Change your tablet to 100% (it is not a joke);
4) Using an HUB USB plug to your tablet:
- USB Pendrive with Windows 10;
- Keyboard;
- Mouse;
5) Switch on your tablet and press ESC to enter Bios, go to the last TAB and select the pendrive as BOOT Override;
6) The installation of Windows 10 in your local language will start;
7) When asked, select Expert Mode and install Windows 10 the the unallocated space by creating a Primary Partition;
8) Ok, you are on the right way...Installation will take some minutes..
At the end, you need to download drivers and install ALL "*.inf" files available on Double Driver Backup zip you can find here:
- Driver Pack by Maxximo88
I made a video (Italian language) about this procedure, it is a low quality video guys:
Click THANKS and have a nice day!
Thank you Maxximo88 for taking the time to write this up!!
There is some other good guides out there but a little outdated like TecKnight's Teclast Tutorials and sadly I've not seen much activity on the Windows front...YES Mirek has done a excellent job on the Android side and I am hoping there will be more progress and maybe a jump to 6.0 Marshmallow?? I'm no coder so I do not know what's invloved but hats off to these guys!! :good:
I am waiting on mt OTG hub so I can reflash and use my own windows 10, see here for more ways to customise your windows 10 iso build and add in all the drivers for Teclast installs which I am trying to do
As for me I recently only discovered these units and will have an X98 Air 3G and a X98 Pro hopefullt by the end of the week :victory:
Looking forward to more developers and the XDA team to contributing making this a real Ipad killer :laugh:
PEACE
Kosti
