Has anyone tried to install Android x86 build next to Windows 10? I have tried Android x86 Lollipop 5.1 build with Intel Atom N270 1,6Ghz laptop (1,5Gb ram) and it was working very well. What I have been googling is that Intel Bay Trail should be supported with Android x86.
Hello...i think i made a mistake and i will pay it!
I made the procedure from page 56 android/windows without making "c" and "d" steps because i have Viva i10g and after i have installed windows i run fptw android flash..and know i get only intel inside!!!
any solution?!

I tried to put Windows on the tablet and for this, I have put first rom 1.12.
After I installed the BIOS and I have been brick tablet.
I do not normally detected by the computer or picking, or by pressing volume +, volume- and power.
Now I always get what I put in the picture.
The Windows Device Manager does not detect the tablet in any way and therefore neither FlashTools or Adb not work.
Someone has gone through something similar or have an idea of how to recover the tablet?

How to make 3G connection working in Windows 10 on Teclast X98 3G:
First check out the Windows 10 info. You need a Teclast BIOS 11.09.2014. (Onda 911 doesn't have 3G support).
If you want a 3G connection strenght bar you can use this software:

Working Dual Boot (Win 10 and Android 4.4)
UPDATED 24.5.2016
Now we have working Marshmallow 6.0.1 and CM13 builds. You can find it from HERE.
No Lollipop yet but finally a working dual boot (Android x86 4.4.4)! I believe that we are now able to run Lollipop 5.1 also but there is some work to do.

has anyone the problem with extreme battery drain with windows 10? i have to power off the tablet to charge. with Windows running, even in power save, the charging current is to lower than what the tablet needs.
I did have that problem but this fixed it. Have you done this yet?
BTW I found fix for upside down accelerometer on Android x86. Still need to figure out how to implent. I have also tried to collect needed drivers for Lollipop build and I have found some:
WiFi: https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs
Touchscreen: https://github.com/hadess/gt9xx
Accelometer: https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy
Sound: https://github.com/AdamWill/baytrail-m/blob/master/alsa/t100_B.state
Battery patch: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=179931&action=diff
Since I don't have much spare time I can't rebuild Lollipop right now. Actually I don't even have proper skills for development yet. However I'm planning to do it later. Now I'm trying to get Lollipop 5.0.2 build to work on our tablet.
My plan is to swap needed files from working 4.4.4 build. I already have WiFi file: r8723bs.ko. Still looking for sound. Then we could have Lollipop 5.0.2 with working Touch, Wifi, Sound and Video Acceleration. Not perfect but something.

i already changed the driver. didnt help... maybe i need to install the wifi driver also?
edut: or is bios update necessary?

thank you i will try this.
one question to dualboot. android x86 uses grub loader?
do i need a keyboard to choose the OS? Or is it possible with touch/buttons?
Currently I'm using Android-x86 Installer UEFI Version for installation. It makes the needed Grub entry automatically. With this method we are able to boot from Windows to Android without using external keyboard:
- Open Settings, and click on the Update & security icon.
- Click on Recovery on the left side, and click on Restart now under Advanced startup on the right side.
- Select "Use a device"
- Select "Android-OS"
Now your tablet will reboot to Android
I have made a shotcut to the desktop which leads me directly to the step 3. Select "Use a device". You can download Advanced_Startup_shortcut.zip from HERE.
If you have keyboard then you can boot from BIOS to Android or use this method from Windows:

Thanks for your work Flash-A-Holic. It looks great already. Hope you have luck with the accelerometer and the Lollipop build. Just a couple of questions:
- You have installed Windows 10 first. Have you followed any specific guide or is there any step we absolutely need to follow?
- How is performance in KitKat? Does it go to Deep Sleep? (any comment on battery life would be great)
- Any major issue with app compatibility?
Thanks!

I have installed Windows 10 but it is not necessary. Android x86 should work with Windows 8.1 also. Althought I have only tested it with Windows 10 on Teclast x98 3G and with Windows 7 on my laptop. When I installed Windows 10 I followed this guide:
Then you just need to make FAT32 partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard and follow guide that I wrote earlier:
The performance on Android x86 is better than the "native Android" I think. However battery life is not very good. I believe that the deep sleep is not working
. The stock internet browser will crash sometimes but Chrome is working perfectly. Also Play Store had some issues once but reinstall solved those problems. I haven’t noticed any other problems (excluding hardware issues: 3G, bluetooth, cameras, volume buttons and upside down accelerometer).I already managed to fix accelerometer once but then I lost touch. I need to figure out what happaned. No luck with Lollipop yet. I have the last exam for this season next week so I'm little bit busy right now but after that I will try to fix everything that I can.

12KitKat update guide (HKC1 ONLY)
So let me do the tutorial real quick. This is a translation from this tutorial: http://hispatablets.com/teclast-x98/tutorial-para-instalar-kitkat-teclast-x98-hkc1-t1790.html
Requirements:
- Teclast X98 3G (HKC1, firmware version 1.11)
- Files from here: https://mega.co.nz/#F!UFdilCpK!tNOmz1msDRKu3tF16oFjdQ
- MicroUSB cable
- Computer with Windows (I've installed it in Windows 8.1, so I guess 7 and 8 should work)
Steps:
1. Installl Drivers
First of all, let's install the necessary files. Install in the following order:
- iSocUSB-Driver-Setup
- IntelAndroidDrvSetup
- ManufacturingFlashToolSetup
Unzip the big firmware file (KK-HKC1.zip) and check for a file called flash.xml.
2. Extracting VID/PID
We open Manufacturing Flash Tool, we click on File-Settings, and the following appears:
We have to input the VID and PID values for our device so MFT recognizes it. We'll have to put it in Flash mode and Droidboot mode so we get the 2 VID and 2 PID values necessary. We get the reading of the VID and PID values from the Device Manager in the following fashion:
2.1 Extract VID and PID from Flash Mode (SOC Devices)
- Turn device off
- Hold both volume buttons AND the power button until the Teclast logo appears
- Connect the tablet with the MicroUSB cable
- Once connected, go to Control Panel-Device Manager
- Seek the Intel Android Phone category, just over Intel SOC. Expand it and right-click on Android ADB-Interface. Click on Properties
- In the Properties Menu, click on the Details tab (third one) and then on the scrollable list. Check Hardware ID.
- You'll see two alphanumeric codes, one for VID and the other for PID. Take note of them,
- Unplug the USB cable and leave the tablet alone for a bit. It'll turn off on its own.
2.2 Extract VID and PID from Droidboot (Android Devices)
- Turn device off
- Hold both the Volume+ AND the power button until the Teclast logo appears, and then the Droidboot screen (similar to Fastboot)
- Connect the tablet with the MicroUSB cable
- Once connected, go to Control Panel-Device Manager
- Seek the Intel Android Phone category, just over Intel SOC. Expand it and right-click on Android ADB-Interface. Click on Properties
- In the Properties Menu, click on the Details tab (third one) and then on the scrollable list. Check Hardware ID.
- You'll see two alphanumeric codes, one for VID and the other for PID. Take note of them,
- Unplug the USB cable.
- Browse with the volume buttons until you get to the Power Off option. Confirm with the Power button and the tablet will turn off
Once we have the VID and PID values, we input them on the Manufacturing Flash Tool in this specific way:
In my case, the values were:
Soc Devices: VID 8087, PID 0A65
Android Devices: VID 8087, PID 09EF
3. Installing the firmware
Now we have MFT open, so we close the Settings menu with "OK" so the VID/PID values are confirmed. Now the good part comes: installing the firmware. We click on File-Open and we browse for the folder with the unzipped firmware. Look for the flash.xml file and select it,
It's time to put the device on flash mode. With the device turned off, we hold both volume buttons and the power button until the Teclast logo appears. Connect the tablet right after that and let it be. As you see from my log, the flashing takes at least 8 minutes, so be patient and FOR THE LOVE OF ALL WHAT'S HOLY DON'T DISCONNECT THE TABLET WHILE IT'S FLASHING. It'll do everything on its own, including the reboot.
4. Fixing the audio
If we stop there, we'll notice quickly that there's no sound input (mic won't work) or output (no sounds come from the speakers). We need to inject a couple of files.
- Download Audio_Update.zip and unzip it
- Turn on the tablet and activate ADB debugging mode in the settings
- Open the folder where you've unzipped it and open a shell (command window)
- Plug the tablet to your computer
- Run the following commands:
Code:[B]adb devices[/B] [this is so we check that the tablet is correctly seen by the computer, it should say "BayTrail something"] [B]fpt-setup.bat[/B] [ignore the error that comes out] [B]update.bat[/B]
Once you've ran the three you'll be prompted to press a key. The tablet will be rebooted and you'll get to say "OK Google" in peace.

And that's it. Enjoy the chucklet!
Thanks have to be given to leroys who provided the firmware. Also dukito from HispaTablets provided the driver files that I link in the Mega folder. I hope you enjoy it, Remember that no success is guaranteed and that any result is your and only your responsibility. Which is fine.6TECLAST X98 3G, Allview Viva/Impera i10G Windows - Final version!

Known Problems/bugs
This "Tutorial" was compiled in my free time, take it as it is, it worked for me, I've inspired from 4PDA thread and want to thank those guys for their great help, from techtablets and from the x98 Air thread here on XDA (that is pretty similar hardware).
Converting back to android (simple version, don't have time to make a complete tutorial):
24.06.2016: Hi guys, this is my last update to this thread, I upgraded to an Teclast X98 Plus 3G.
Try to read the original 4PDA post first, but using the toolbox is pretty easy!5Rooting 4.4.2 KitKat
SuperSU doesn't work too well, or the way I did it didn't work (i.e. You could get root prompts, but SuperSU app would be in an endless wait when you opened it to manage your apps, which was bad). So I decided to try Clockworkmod (Koush's) Superuser app, and it works nicely. I blundered my way through it, but the following should be a nice distilled version.
Prerequisites:
- A computer with the necessary drivers
- Developer mode enabled and ADB enabled
1) Download APK of Koush's (Clockworkmod) Superuser (Zip file)
2) Locate x86 su binary and extract
3) Enable ADB over USB in developer's options
4) Install CWM Superuser from playstore but don't open it just yet
5) Here we will prepare a partially rooted system
Code:# Remount /system as RW adb root adb remount adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system exitCode:# Get the su binary across adb push su /system/xbin/ adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su exit
Code:adb reboot
Code:# Temporary root adb root adb remount adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system su --daemon
6) We have a temporary rooted system, install Stericson Busybox from playstore
7) Install busybox without smart install, you should get a superuser prompt
8) We will imitate a (SuperSU) rooted system by using ES file manager to make the following files:
[/system/etc/.installed_su_daemon]
Code:1
[/system/etc/install-recovery.sh]
Code:#!/system/bin/sh /system/xbin/su --daemon & /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
<ADB Root Shell>
Code:chmod 666 /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Get term-init.sh from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32716412&postcount=2
Thanks to Ryuinferno!
9) Enable init.d support, upload term-init.sh to sdcard
or download from the link and then from adbCode:adb push term-init.sh /sdcard/
<ADB Root Shell>
Code:sh /sdcard/term-init.sh
10) To make su load its daemon every boot, we will need some init.d scripts
[/system/etc/init.d/99SuperuserDaemon]
Code:#!/system/bin/sh /system/xbin/su --daemon &
11) That should be it! Reboot and make sure init.d works in /data/Test.log
<ADB Root Shell>
Code:exit adb reboot3I could not find this tablet mentioned anywhere on XDA, so I've decided to create this thread for sharing impressions and useful information between owners and anyone interested.

First impressions
Fast, responsive, light, crisp and bright
Several Chinese apps. Some of them installing other Chinese apps. (removed/disabled, except for tUI and TeclastAutoUpdater)
No Apps drawer. no widgets - Apple-like UI. (Apex Launcher installed)
Overall feeling of money well spent
Current problems
I've found two things that I don't like about the tablet:
First, the speakers. I can't complain about sound - there's some bass, highs are clear, overall quality is good. But it eludes me why would someone place two speakers on the same side?
Second, and hopefully, temporary one, is the battery meter. From 0% it goes to 100% in about 20 minutes (BTW, the tablet pulls 2A out of the bundled PSU), says "charging 100%", for few hours more the current is still 2A, then 1.5A for some time, then 1A (somewhere here its starts to say "Charged"), and after 8 hours, when the current was 0.2A, I've disconnected the cord. "Bleep! Connect the charger! 10%" After an hour of use, I turned it of, then on... 77%! Went down to 8% after an hour more, then to 7% in another hour... :silly: A firmware update is definitely needed here. BTW, in 2 days I own the thing, I've had 2 updates, so the manufacturer's developers are doing something.
--- Update 2014-08-01
I've got the POWER!
The bad news are - (1) technical support does not answer emails, at least in my experience.. Probably because of language difficulties, maybe they have some other reasons. (2) replacement batteries are hard to find - on ali express I found only one seller who claims his batteries are 12Ah. The good news is - I did not need all of that. Finally, I've decided to open the thing up and check all accessible connection points.
Disassembly
You'll need a sharp tool (there are special plastic tools, but I used regular small knife to start, and a plastic one from ikea to widen and crack on the initial opening). Back cover is snapped on over the screen base on small latches, and all you need to do is slit the groove that goes around the screen a little, then go on unlatching until it comes apart. The groove is just around the screen, between two plastic parts, not around the metal cover.
All I needed to do was tracking the battery wire, lifting black tape, and re-plugging the wire in its place. Full battery power is now restored. Feeling are mixed -- or ?2[Guide] Teclast X98 3G - Dual Boot Windows/Android X86 [Marshmallow/KitKat]
