can't get it to start

It loads up but then enters a cmd type area and it's blank. Whenever I enter anything a location appears temporarily showing I'm in ssh and I have no idea where to go from here.

Got it working on a GPT UEFI Win 10

Code: 
Got it working. Beautifully. Except a problem of sleep which, of course, is an android-x86 problem.

Hi !
I've got news about installing Android x86 on my T100HA.
I just tried the V2.4 beta, and I found out that the black screen I had was cause by the tablet switching on its external HDMI port !
I connected my TV on the HDMI port of my T100HA, and it boot successfuly !
Unfortunately, trackpad and tactile don't work. I can only navigate by keyboard, which is not user-friendly at all.
Maybe these informations can help you to find out what's the problem with the T100HA :)

Thanks !

I was able to get Remix OS (latest 64-bit UEFI version) to boot on the T100HA without an external display. After you select Android-OS from boot menu, choose Android-x86 (nomodeset) from the next menu. You can get into Remix OS, but unfortunately the touch screen and screen rotation don't work. I have to use the touchpad to navigate. It also seems like Wifi doesn't work since the remix setup just kept showing "turn on your wifi" and I had to skip it.

I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable can get these other things (rotation, touchscreen, wifi) working!

Hello everyone and first of all thanks for creating this OP. It's pretty much my last hope to get android to boot on my netbook haha. Before I start installing I wanted to ask: Do I really have to use a .img file? r4 und r5 of 4.4 are .iso files, but still bootable with UEFI. Could I use those too or should I just stick to r3? Thanks already!

Edit: I figured I should just try it. Installing with the .iso file of r5 didn't work (I attached the log for good measure, but I mean it was to be expected), but the .img of r3 worked just fine (same computer as in the log). Everything's working just as it should now, so that's really neat. Thank you again!

Anyway to get it to work with the android-x86-6.0_20160129.iso ? This is the log for it. Tried all other android builds (4.x rc/r upto 5.x) and none of them boots. Remix OS boots, but is flakey with the wifi and has restrictions on apps making certain apps features non-working (Facebook Messenger Chat heads for one, even with the Draw-On-Top fix). 6.0 boots both as live and installed on a USB, but when installed on a partition on the ssd, it won't show up in the bootmenu at all, so this is my best bet in getting it to work.

edit grub entry

cabalio83 said:
I managed to have a working system to rw, you just need system to be in .img format instead of .sfs, then edit grub entry to search for system.img instead of system.sfs
Be warned: system.img is uncompressed and you're going to lose ~400 mb on your EMMC mb because system.img in about 400 mb bigger than system.sfs

@ExtremeGTX just a suggestion: maybe you could make this optional in the installer by asking "system read only" or "system rw", to make this automatic during installation. If I recall correctly if you try to install Android X86 in a VM via .iso file you are asked by the setup about having /system as rw.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I need help finding this grub entry, I've already installed android so I don't know if this should be edited from within windows or do I have to install it again, do I just delete the ,sfs in the android folder?? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

I tested it on my Toshiba Encore 8 (32GB), the setup works, but during selecting Android I get the message :

error: no such device /AndroidOS/android.boo
error: file /AndroidOS/kernel not found
error: you need to load the kernel first

You have to disable secure boot control and trusted platform module to be able to boot other kernels on UEFI machines . You do that as decribed here at section : Booting Ubuntu on the Asus Transformer Book T100 at steps 1 through 15 . The rest you can ignore as long as you just want to disable those things stopping you from booting .

Installing all Android images as long as they contain EFI folder

I Posted something of a guide here : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/D85Jq02cLrE/overview (dont know if the post is up yet , i just posted it ) on how to install Android to your disk using a bootable Android flash drive and an utility called grub2win . I managed to boot 4 different androids from the ssd using this method . I used 5.1 and 6.0 images . Im writing this because with the tool provided by OP i could successfully install just the images in .img format and not .iso (more common as I can see)

Hi everybody! First i really want to say THANK YOU to @ExtremeGTX for the huge work he's done. The tool is really straightforward and useful. I managed to install Android 5.1 x86 from androidx86.org, and i corrected che grub.cfg file as explained in this thread. I also read that i'm not the only one with the screen not turning off when pressing the power button, it only dims. Is there any solution to this on 5.1? Does it happen in previous versions?

ok, I had drive encryption enabled (Win8.1 does this by default). Now the boot starts, but Android 5.1.1 hangs at blackscreen and I have no idea what fails. I'll try now latest RemixOS. Btw, why does it require IMG files?

    black screen with blinking cursor fix

    @ExtremeGTX

    I would like to share a fix for those having booting issues - device stuck before Android boot, black screen with blinking cursor after selecting android x86 in grub
    This applies at the Asus T100 tablet that I own, I don't know if other devices can be fixed the same way

    Installation logs are clean, but grub.cfg is set like this

    Code: 
    menuentry 'Android-x86' --class android-x86 {
	search --file --no-floppy --set=root /AndroidOS/system.sfs
	linux /AndroidOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=[B]android_x86_64[/B] quiet DATA=/AndroidOS
	initrd /AndroidOS/initrd.img

    The issue lies in "android_x86_64", you need to mount the efi partition in windows and edit grub.cfg: remove "_64" and make it look like this

    Code: 
    menuentry 'Android-x86' --class android-x86 {
	search --file --no-floppy --set=root /AndroidOS/system.sfs
	linux /AndroidOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=[B]android_x86[/B] quiet DATA=/AndroidOS
	initrd /AndroidOS/initrd.img

    Save the file, reboot and enjoy :D

    This in happening with the latest .img (6.0 or 5.1) that you can get on http://www.android-x86.net/, or the one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64318024&postcount=87
    Note: I didn't try with 2.3 installer, I had set up my 5.1 installation with 2.2 tool and I'm running it, so no further testing on my end with 2.3 installer.

    So to make it clear,
    1. I don't have to re partition the SSD, right?
    2. The android will be installed in c:/androidos?
    3. What you mean about "create user data partition"? Is it going to change disk partition and create dedicated one for it?

    Thanks

    I am not the creator of this app, but since I used it succesfully, I can definitely answer these questions:

    1. No, you don't need to worry about that.
    2. Yes, exactly - all data will be in this folder (as it is on my TF100)
    3. It creates "data.img" file inside the "C:\androidos" folder and you can select how big that .img file should be (for storing your Android data). No partitioning - basically everything happens inside the "androidos" folder.

    I tested on Asus transformer t100 using android 5.1.1
    The device booted and the system was smooth but there is some bugs
    1- system crash when rotating the tab
    2- system crashcrash opening the Bluetooth
    3- some apps don't have Internet access "Facebook, messenger.."
    4- power button don't turn off display it only dims it

    Yeah, 5.1.1 x86 on T100 is indeed pretty unstable, I recommend using KitKat - works great.

    Well yeah, you can, but AFAIK you would have to do repartitioning as if you were installing regular dualboot system - that's something you don't have to do here.

    Performance is great as expected, very snappy, I've been running KitKat 4.4-r3, Lollipop 5.1 was very unstable for me. Battery life seems great, too, not exactly sure though, since I've been playing with it for two days now :D
