You have a half bricked bootloader. You will probably have to build a GoldCard to fix the SPL to a version that can be HSPLed.
You need to check this thread on how to build a GoldCard. Normally you'd build a GoldCard setup to debrand your device, but it can also be used to fix bootloader issues like this.

Ok, where can i find the ROM update package to install. Also can you tell me the process. Thanks.
Alright, the first question I have is, does the phone still boot into WP7? I have seen half-bricked bootloaders that still boot the OS. If you have data on your phone, you will want to back it up now(please don’t ask me how that works, since I STILL haven’t been able to perform a backup on my own phone) as any method of fixing this will most likely wipe the phone clean.
Now, I will explain WHAT a GoldCard is (since none of the guides explain WHAT it is). A GoldCard is a specially formatted SDCard with a bootloader installed that allows WP7’s (at least HTC ones) to read a rom image from it directly to your WP7 phone. This method can be used to Debrand your phone, so it will act like a generic HTC Trophy.
Okay, I’ve done a bit of research, and you have two options in your GoldCard method. I will describe the basics idea of each option (#2 is my preferred option to maintain your hardware warranty):
#1) [I would ONLY do this if you have voided your phone warranty] you make a GoldCard SDCard using another phone, and then put that phone card INTO your Trophy’s SD card slot by tearing it apart and inserting it. If you have already upgraded your internal SD card to have more space (a 16GB or 32GB card), then this option is probably the easiest.
#2) [Do this to maintain warranty; this is probably the most common method]. You build a USB-Y cable. One part plugs into a PC (to the power providing device you choose), and the two data ends plug into your WP7, and the other into another phone such as an Android or WM6.5 phone (personally, I used a WM6.5 phone because it was much simpler and required less software installed on the PC).
You create a GoldCard SDCard and then put in into “the host phone” and set that “host phone” into “Mass Storage Mode” so it will act like a disk drive (others have said a regular USB thumb drive can be used for this too instead of an Android/WM6.5 phone). Your WP7 will see this plugged in because you start it in a special bootloader mode (my holding camera AND vol-down + power), and the phone will detect the disk drive and read the rom image from the “host phone” and flash a rom image.
There is no method that can be used to turn your computer into an emulated SD/GoldCard setup. The reason for this is that most PC USB controllers cannot be set to act as anything other than a host device. I read up on it... it’s simply not likely and impossible, so don’t bother fretting over it like I did for two days. Lol
Link to #1 method
Link to #2 method (Diagram to build USB Y-Cable)
I know that in method #2, the diagram link links to set of instructions, but I found the alternate set MUCH easier to follow (but still not clear). I’m sure someday I will write my own guide to making a GoldCard, but probably not until this weekend.
Now, as for rom choice… since you appear to be in Australia, I’m not sure. You might want to ask around, but I wouldn’t unbrand your Trophy (as some people get this weird issue with their CID id going from PC410000 to PC41****), but use another Vodafone rom. I don’t know if the UK rom is the same as what your phone would use (as I said, I’d ask around or hope someone else will post that info in this thread).
Downloadable OEM roms can be found here in Football’s thread.
Hope this will help you get back on track.

Thanks for this. My phone booting ok in WP7 and works. I will try to build a Y cable and try. Thanks again.
Do you know where i can buy a usb Y-cable??? Or how can i search it????
You build/make the Y-cable using the diagram (that's what the 2nd link is for in method #2). I'd recommend buying two new regular cables for the operation, and cutting them apart. If you haven't wired anything before, its not very difficult.
The idea of the y-cable is to give both devices power from PC (so red and black are wired to all cables- This is so the phones detect they are connected) and they transfer data between each other using the data part of the cables (so green and white are connected to only the two phones).

Do i need to have an HTC android phone to make the gold card???
Only to read serial number
Now that is a problem. Where will i find one....
I recommend a WM6.5 phone if you can.. Less crap required to be installed.

The way I understand it, you can use ANY android phone, but you need to install all the debugging stuff.
You can't use a Trophy, but you can use any Windows Mobile 6.5 phone.

Hi dear
Thanks for answer
with this cable my phone is charge in 301 test Usb/ac adapter,If I can find a one of other cables I've tested this solution
Why not change the ROM with sd card and the phone is not able to find it,i chang 4 sd card but not solved
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Helloooo
Any body there???????????
Hi Reza,
Could be a number of things. Take one of your SD cads that you've already tried, do a 'full' (not quick) format on it, setting block size to 'default' and file system to FAT or FAT32. Put an update.pkg on that and see if it works.
Also as mentioned, see if you can find another cable, that may work.
But it seems your biggest problem is that the ADB interface isn't being detected on your PC. Do you have the Android SDK and the Google USB Driver installed? There are no specific drivers available for the Dell ADB, they use the generic Google ones. These are available as a package through the SDK.
Let me know how you get on mate!
Justin
Few things you need to do one by one.
1. Calm down
2. Change the usb cable
3. change the microsd card
4.
a) Take off the back plate (rub /clean the copper connectors)
b) Take out the battery
c) see / check the streak connection / connector point (clean it)
d) connect the streak to pc (then place battery back in, then back plate and restart)
5. Report back
Good Luck

Yes, possibly. But in order to determine what it is, we need to try everything we can.
Also, the 'SD card not recognised' when trying to flash an update.pkg worries me. That sounds like damage to the SD slot.
So if our only option is to flash via fastboot, we need to try everything

I need the MTP driver for Windows XP. I've gotten the other 2 drivers up & running, but not the MTP. Anyone able to provide a link for a working MTP driver for my Nexus 7?
I guess you have to install Windows Media Player (this is only possible with a genuine Windows).
Personally I use AirDroid to transfer files. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid )

I already have Media Player 11 on there. No go.
AirDroid isn't an option as we only have WiFi at work on our outside LAN and our computers are all behind the firewall.

Yes, I turn USB debugging off and try re-installing the driver again and it is working fine now. Many thanks.:good:
After ages trying to root my Nexus 7 and repeatedly un/re-installing of drivers using various 'toolkits' and then finally succeeding, I was upset to see this problem in Device Manager.
Seeing mrhomiec's excellent solution in the first thread I looked at was a great relief. Many thanks!
Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit

MTP working with XP
Here is what I had to do to get MTP working with XP SP3:
1: Download and install MTPPK12
2: Download and intall Media Player 11
3: Connect the N7 to the PC via the USB cable and set USB to MTP instead of "Camera".
4: Open "Settings" and turn off "USB debugging".
5pen "Device Manager" on the PC and look for "Android Device". If you find and entry for an "ADB" device, uninstall the driver. Unplug the N7 and plug it back in. The PC should now find a device titled "Nexus 7" and install the driver. Open "My Computer" and "Nexus 7" should now be listed and ready to transfer files.
A little something to get USB-Debugging working
Hey guys,
for those who want to use their precious Android with enabled USB-debugging at a Win XP system:
1. get some drivers that work fine without enabled debugging (for HTC disciples: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191279 ) and install them.
2. switch your device to usb-debugging and look up the exact hardware-ID @ your device manager (device manager -> android device -> details -> hardware ID) - keep that window open for you'll need the exact key
3. Search the installed drivers (for me it was C:\Programme\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\XP_x86) and edit the 'androidusb.inf'.
4. In the file, look for the 'Device Section' and scroll way down to the 'For XP and later' section. Here you copy the first entry and paste in your hardwareID.
For me, I took:
%USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01&MI_01.DeviceDescRelease%=HTCAND32.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01&MI_01
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and changed it to:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Next scroll down until you find the '[Strings]' section. Here you do the same thing as before:
Copy the first entry and edit it according to your hardwareID.
For me, I took:
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and changed it to:
USB\VID_18D1&PID_2D02.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC ONE"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(you are free to name it what ever you want )
Next you'll need to scroll down until the patten changes from
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01&MI_01.DeviceDescRelease="My HTC"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
here you'll need to copy the first entry again and edit it to match your needs. Just copy the device name you have entered before.
6. Finally you can install the drivers manually via your device manager. Just choose your pimped androidusb.inf as driver and you should be able to work with your android phone at usb-debugging (for example for MyPhoneExplorer).
Of cause I am not responsible if you wreck your Win XP / your drivers so don't overdo it. If you don't know what you are doing, do it like the Beatles and 'let it be'

MTP and ADB come hand in hand so if anyone wants to use the ADB-interface, he or she can do so by following this little tutorial and don't even need to spam their system with unnecessary bloatware.. sorry, but I don't see the problem you've got with that ?
And I'm very sorry, I don't understand the problem you've got with a useful tutorial but that doesn't mean that I've got any problem with you oO
So, no offense

My problem is that most people searching a thread like this aren't going to read every post. They go to the "last page" to see what the latest solution is. Your post was on the last page by itself and I was concerned that noobs reading it would think it was "the best" solution. I wanted to point out that the post previous to yours actually had an easier solution. And, IMO, Media Center takes a miniscule amount of disk space compared to what the vast majority of people have available.

Well I have found this thread because I was looking for a solution for the MTP / ADB-problem and thought that other users might find this missing information useful. Your problem with my post would mean that you disagree any discussion or even better solutions to problems (threats) as soon as you posted your solution .. which truly isn't the way a community works.
And sorry, but I won't discuss the cancer-like spreading of MS products to any system with you in this threat. It's not as simple as disk space.
I suggest we now stop bloating up this topic, unless you've got more useful information concerning the problem.

Here is what I had to do to get MTP working with XP SP3:
1: Download and install MTPPK12
2: Download and intall Media Player 11
3: Connect the N7 to the PC via the USB cable and set USB to MTP instead of "Camera".
4: Open "Settings" and turn off "USB debugging".
5pen "Device Manager" on the PC and look for "Android Device". If you find and entry for an "ADB" device, uninstall the driver. Unplug the N7 and plug it back in. The PC should now find a device titled "Nexus 7" and install the driver. Open "My Computer" and "Nexus 7" should now be listed and ready to transfer files.

I'm trying to download LiLi. I click on the download link here but it takes me here. Clicking the "Download LinuxLive USB Creator" in the second link takes me back to the first.

Beta 4 runs on my amd Asus machine but my wifi adapter doesnt. can anyone help me compile a recovery for computers
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
The WiFi is kinda weird but I haven't really looked into it too deep. It will not connect to my home WiFi network but it will to my neighbors and my cell phone. Go figure. I have been trying out different iso images from the many downloads but I can't fins one yet that will boot on my old dell dimensions 2400 desktop. One of the error messages that pops up is for the computer model check and of course it fails, among other things. If anyone knows of a download for an iso that will work on at least dell desktop computers, let me know.
If it's broken...beat it into submission until it works!

It wont let me repair, since repair requires reboot, but then GRUB kicks in everytime i reboot, therefore stuck. I popped in the cd and reinstalled Windows.... but lost every program,
this is a bit off topic, but how can i restore everything from my old win7 to my new win7? I tried using the comand prompt in the recovery page, but the programs are still missing, tried just copy and pasting from windows.old folder to current windows folder, no luck.
Hi community,
I own a Toshiba Encore 8 and I am very happy with this machine, as it has a very powerful GPU. It runs games better than my notebook which has a Intel Core i5 (CPU)...

Since a long time ago I am searching for a way to run Android on it, because I want it mainly for gaming, and not work.
And before you post something like: "Put Bluestacks on it", here's my answer: Bluestacks EMULATES Android and so it runs slower than normal and it eats a huge amount of battery in a short period of time. And beside that, it doesn't want to go in fullscreen on my tablet. So please, don't post that.
I have found on the Internet, that the tablet IS capable of running android (In x86 mode)...
The tablet has an Inte Atom processor and therefore are much images on the Intel Website that I could download (https://01.org/android-ia/downloads). That's not the problem.
The problem is that when I flash a image to a stick, it won't recognize it when in UEFI BIOS.
I have tried many many sticks and external drives and no one worked. 4GB (3x), 8GB, 32GB (2x), 500GB, 1TB....
I also have tried many programs to flash those images and normal ISO files, like RUFUS, YUMI, WIN32IMAGER, UNETBOOTIN, etc...
(I've tried DD-Images from Android, X86 Android ISO Images, Ubuntu 14....)
The problem is that when I turn on the tablet and hold VOL+UP + PWR, it doesn't recognize the stick at all. When I select the stick (that has a empty description), it normally boots Windows 8.
I already have disabled Secure Boot, I already have toggled EHCI and XHCI mode, I already have turned BitLocker off, I already have upgraded the BIOS... Nothing helps...
Aaand, I already tried in Windows to select to boot from a drive... It restarts the machine, pops a UEFI message up saying that there are no drives and then it boots Widnwos 8...
Here are some pics of the problem:
Any solution will be very greatly appreciated. I'm sure that I am not the unique that want to put Android on that machine
Thanks in advance
I have the same tablet (WT8-A-102). I have tried many images from Android-X86 and have not had any problems to boot them from USB. You must use an UEFI image to be able to boot from USB. I have used different USB sticks and usually Rufus to create a UFEI bootable USB stick.
Most of the images I have tried (both Android 4 and Android 5) boot correctly but dont have support for WiFi and only shows image on external monitor. The image for T100 works best for me with image on tablet, sound, touch etc working but WiFi and physcal buttons are not working.
I have also tried AmiDUOS on the Encore. It emulates Android but is quite fast. The amout of free memory is a limitation with this solution.

How have you done this? I will greatly appreciate any instructions
I have already tried to toggle between GPT/MBR layout on Rufus and it won't recognize.
It would be very cool, if you could say which image on which site to download and which configurations that I should use on Rufus.
Thanks
I compared your screenshots with my Encore.
Boot menu Picture: If I don´t have an USB stick or an USB stick that is not UEFI bootable, my Encore looks like your screenshot. If I have an UEFI bootable USB stick, it will display name after (USB Memory: KingstonData Traveler 2.0).
BIOS settings Picture: Identical (I also have turned BitLocker off but I dont know if it is necessary.
Software that I have used to make bootable USB sticks:
sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager
I use version 0.9.5 for writing .IMG files to USB stick. No settings, just select image file, USB stick and write.
rufus.akeo.ie
I used Version 1.4.12 (Build 535) to write .ISO files to USB stick. Settings are "MBR for BIOS or UEFI", "FAT32", "4096".
I think the best image for Encore is the one for Asus T100 "android-x86-t100.img" from Android-X86 discussion group. Most of the images work, like "android-x86-4.4-r2.iso" but after boot, the image is sent to external monitor.
I have NOT found any image with working WiFi in Android yet, if anyone knows one, please post a link.
The images that you download must be 32 bit UEFI to be bootable on the Encore.

If this works, I will compile my own Android Image to work with Wi-Fi... And, of course, post a link here (If it worked)
(I already have done stuff like this before...)
I will try with this instruction that you gave me. If it works, I will post here more detailed instructions (with printscreens)...
PS: I have just seen that you are freshly new in the forum. Welcome to XDA
Hi,
I have tried to put that IMG File with Win32DiskImager and IT WORKED! ( Thanks )
But, it won't boot complete...
Here some images what happened:
And then, the screen went black... And nothing happens.... nothing at all....
Have you found a image that runs the image on the internal dispay? If yes, which?
It might have the same issue Venue 8 Pros have. KMS doesn't initialize properly if it's not booted through the boot menu (if it is, GRUB will be run at the wrong resolution, and KMS is then fine).
I'm reading some (complex) tutorials to discover how to build a own Android Image based on a existing one...
First I am trying to find the image that works best for that tablet, after that I will try to modify the image...
If anyone already know which image works best, let me know... (Maybe T100?)
EDIT: I already have "disassembled" the squashfs in the img...
Wish me luck now
EDIT2: Seems that I am looking on the wrong side. Maybe @AntaresOne can help me.... Maybe...... Or just point me in the right direction....
I think the problems with no output on screen is related to the display driver. I get the same with many images (they boot and show text based information). When they switch to graphical information (the Android logo) the screen turns black. If you have an external monitor attached to your Encore (connected before you boot the USB stick), you will see Android boot and can control it from touchscreen (dfficult) or with keyboard/mouse in full HD (if your monitor supports it).
I think Asus T100 also have the option for external display and the image found here will display on Encore screen:
groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/FUiFCtrgc6I
docs.google.com/a/android-x86.org/file/d/0B5bbP1aYGPSTTTJtTjB5UWNCd3M/edit?usp=drive_web
Alternate, search for "An update image for ASUS T100" on Android-X86 diskussion group.
I have no Linux knowledge so I have not compiled or modifyed anything, just tried images other made.
@AntaresOne doesn't want to help (He was online since the last days and I believe that he have seen this thread). He is a great guy, but I don't know why he doesn't want to help....
But anyway, I think I must post other thread in the Android Section... I can't resolve this by myself.

Interested in how this works out, also have an encore 2
Hey! Have any news?
Many Baytrail builds at android-x86.org works with Toshiba Encore (I have WT8-A version) but not 100%. An example is "Asus T100-TA Magic Stick" (check the "win-8-development" in this forum). On most builds I have tried, the WiFi is not working. With the "Magic Stick" version on the Encore, you can use WiFi (and all apps I have tested works fine). The problem with "Magic Stick" on the Encore is that the image is sent to external display (you have to have an external monitor attached to HDMI on the Encore). There are builds that work with internal display but I have not found one build that have both internal display and working WiFi on the Encore.

No, sadly I couldn't find a image with all drivers. Anyone interested should build a image for this tablet. I already lost my faith on putting android on this.
I use the latest Android-x86 4.4-r5 (KitKat-x86) from Android from "www.android-x86.org".
WiFi, sound, graphics etc works. I have not tried Bluetooth (I use keyboard/mouse with USB hub) and some hardware buttons do not work (you have to control volume from "settings"). It is fast and stable and all apps I have tested worked fine.
There is one big problem with this build (and many other):
Your Encore must have an external display connected to HDMI port (I guess external display is default and I dont know how to change it). Maybe some parameter in grub?
There are other Android builds that work with Encore internal display but the ones I tried did not have working WiFi.
Hi! I have the same tablet and I want to install Android on it, Android 6.0.1 to be more specific. I tried the live version, but the image was transferred to an external monitor and the Wireless card wasn't recognized. Will it do any differece if I would install Android and not just try a live version?
I found that it's very strange that there's no thread on XDA for this superb popular tablet.
This tablet is the most talked about among the Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese tech nerd because of it cheap price.
It's the cheapest Windows Tablet at USD70 shipped to whole world, and USD48 factory price.

My goal here is to totally clean the 16GB emmc and clean / fresh install it with Windows 10 Home with compression to save space.
I will post my progress on the second post (SUCCESS!).
If any of you guys have this tablet and wanna try, I have attached the working drivers for this tablet that you can download below
Steps to repeat what I've accomplished:
- Charge full the tablet.
- Full reset existing Windows 8.1 with Bing x86
- Connect to internet, make sure the tablet is activated.
- Charge full the tablet again.
- While connected to the internet, do an in-place upgrade of it's existing Windows 8.1 with Bing x86 to Windows 10 Home x86 (from an iso in a thumbdrive) (This step is important! It make sure your Windows stay activated)
- Make sure all hardware is working and have correct driver and Windows 10 is activated
(connected standby seems not working very well)
- Charge full the tablet again.
- Insert Thumbdrive, Keyboard, Mouse into USB hub then insert to the tablet.
- Restart the tablet while holding down the shift key / or open Settings, and click/tap on the Update & security icon, then click/tap on Recovery on the left side, and click/tap on Restart now under Advanced startup on the right side.
- The tablet will reboot and you will see the Advanced Startup Options screen.
- From here click Troubleshoot then Advance Options then click Command Prompt.
- From command prompt, type d:/setup.exe (where d:/ is your thumbdrive letter).
- You should then be in the Windows Installer setup screen. This should be exactly the same as booting from USB.
- Follow the setup wizard to do clean install, you will see 5 partitions.
- First 2 partitions (System , EFI) you should LEAVE it, do not delete it.
- Delete the last 3 partitions (C:, Recovery and another Recovery)
- Choose to install Windows on the free space that you got after deleting the last 3 partitions. (No need to manually create a partition).
- Let it install normally, once done you will have C:/ or around 14.45GB.
- It will detect as a normal desktop, but once you install all the drivers on the first post, you will have a fully working tablet again.
Tips to save more space:
1) Use CompactOS:
From an administrative command prompt, simply use the commands:
Compact.exe /CompactOS:query This will query Windows to see if CompactOS is enabled or not
Compact.exe /CompactOS:always This will enable CompactOS
Compact.exe /CompactOS:never This will disable CompactOS
2) Disable hibernation.
3) Decrease pagefile size.
I have around 7GB free space on a fully updated Windows 10 Home installation even with default pagefile and hibernation turned on.
bro what software do you use to restore and backup the driver?
Nice Thread. Just what i was looking for!
How did you Update?
I tried via .iso on a USB drive.... did not work...
Great Job M$ did there -.- can't even see the full installation window.
(Attachment 1+2)
But well.... that's not the main problem here... it needs 6.27gb free space on C to install Windows 10 ~.~
(Attachment 3)
i still have my 4gb image partition....
Now trying the inplace Upgrade....
P.S About Drivers....
http://woshub.com/how-to-export-drivers-using-powershell-in-windows-8-1-u1/
Here are mine on Google Drive:
drivers_Momo7W.zip
drive.google.com
Also made a Macrium Reflect Free Recovery Disk and saved the img on a USB drive... you never know.
Btw, i also got that error about USB not activated via BIOS. Did you also use a USB 3.0 stick? Heard that there are some driver problems with Windows10 installation and USB3.0
Edit:
Well... inplace upgrade also fails -.- needs 5gb more space.
(Attachment 4)
Edit 24.11.2021.
****ing Google drive changed the link.
Replaced it. Got about 2-4 emails per Week askig for the file. Should work again now.
i did it.... phew....
Skipped the 6.67gb limitation by selecting a USB drive as backup for the old windows... though didn't even use it in the end -.-
So i have now 6.6gb Free of 14gb.... oh yeah... and the 4gb image partition got deleted during installation.
The worst thing was the Touchscreen driver, because i did not update but delete all i also deleted Touchscreen drivers.
Touchscreen readme.txt insider the driver package said:
- Copy "SileadTouch.fw" to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers"
- Update the driver "KMDF HID Minidriver for Touch I2C Device_15.46.55.386_6.2_x86"

Make sure you have a USB Keyboard or Mouse for the initial Setup and to install the drivers.
I installed VNC really fast and did all via PC ^^

Strange, I only have 2.5GB of free space doing exactly what you doing when I upgrade.
But the 4GB recovery partition is not deleted.
I'm still trying to find a way to boot from USB to do a clean install.
i used the .iso on a USB stick, mounted in windows and started the setup.
Btw, i can see your problems with Connected Standby....

Tough it was already horrible in windows8.1 so i never used that, and always turned off my device
Anyone else here has Stats from W8.1 times ?
Unfortunately I have no way of downgrading because I cannot boot from USB...
Tried the Windows 10 recovery menu to boot from EFI USB device also cannot.
shouldn't there be a "Restore Windows to previous state" ? or did you already clean the disk and deleted "old windows installations" ?

Yes, it restored back to Windows 10 Home.
My C:/Windows.old is less than 1MB.
I have no idea why this happened to my upgrade.
I'm trying to download the 5.7GB recovery file from Ployer website since a week ago but the speed to me is only around 5kb...
I believe this recovery file should be able to restore the tablet back to the original Chinese Windows 8.1 with Bing.
Linux
I dont know about you guys, but Personally, I would like to install linux on mine, but i still dont know whether it will support it. i have downloaded the iso for Kali linux and i plan to install it soon, but sadly, i cant seem to even reach the boot menu.
I think it would be nice for me to have a portable linux wireless tool, well if i can install it.
if anybody hass managed to install any linux distro on the ployer momo7w, please i would like to know how you got past the very fast boot screen, and into the bios.
How are you getting on with this?
I am just preparing to do the same upgrade... Amongst other things, the chinese writing, mid English Windows is driving me mad!!!
Have you managed to get everything up and running yet?
I have managed to get a few things sorted on this... Since you can only get it wrong once and its all over (and I nearly did!) I have managed to get USB booting, and I have also backed up the existing drivers on Windows 8.1, with a hope that in the worst case scenario (and I cant find the drivers for the touch screen!) I am hoping that I can send it looking through the backed up drivers and put it to use with windows 10!
So I am currently biting my fingernails, as I have been backing up for about 2.5 hours, and I have 18 minutes left, and I am hoping the battery holds out for the complete backup (Using Macrium on a live USB to do the backup!)
I will see how it goes, but happy to help you guys get your devices booting to USB if you want!
Running into issues! I can get a USB disk bootable, as I managed to back up from a UEFI USB, but now, I cannot build for love nor money - a Windows 10 installer UEFI USB! RUFUS, SARDU, none of them seem to be able to make it work
Got a bit more work to get done! I might event get a solution, but the way the ployer UEFI is setup, its missing some key settings in the UEFI, which without (CSM) we may not be able to clean install!
managed to get the new installation done, you will need a mostly charged tablet, a USB adapter cable, I would recommend a four port hub - one for a mouse, and one for your USB drive with the windows installer on it.
I am happy to share my BIOS settings so you guys can reproduce it! I am waiting for the install to finish and I will run all the drivers installations through, then I can try get the touch screen up and running with my backed up drivers! Hopefully a nice, clean (all English!) installation! I get driven mad by the recurrent chinese words throughout my OS, even though its set to English!!!
tell us about the storage used and free
I ran into another hurdle!
Got the install completed, but now, it doesnt recognise its a tablet! there are no unknown devices, so I cant install the drivers, the start button and the volume buttons do not work

I will take a look in an hour or so and let you know!

4.88GB of free space out of 14GB drive, but there are so many problems with drivers missing, cant see the accelerometer, touch screen, soft or hard keys, I am thinking I might just wipe it and start again...
Right, I am going for a new approach!
I am using the inbuilt UEFI recovery function, and have just reinstalled the OS, looks like its probably Windows 8.1, but what I will then do, is try reinstall, telling it to leave my files. This may sound crazy, and isnt strictly speaking a "Clean install", however, after a clean install of windows 8.1 and an upgrade to windows 10, this should be the best that can be accomplished, without having driver issues everywhere!
I will keep trying and let you know how I get on!
....EDIT... seems its just reinstalled windows 10! looks like I will have to pull out my backups and reload the tablet!
help
Hi
I also bought one of these tablet.
I would like on Windows 10 were installed, but no way to succeed.
I read the forum, but unfortunately I do not know English well.
I live in Hungary.
I can not enter BIOS. I connected a wireless keyboard + mouse pressed esc, but not having been in the BIOS.
If I bought the írásotokból, USB can not be reinstalled?
Or, if you do not clean installation somehow manages to put even works with touch screen, volume keys, gyrosensor?
There are very few places on the device ... In practice, in addition to other Windows programs can not be installed. It would be nice if bootlna USB cancel the recovery partition!
It is very annoying that some Chinese characters in the windows, and do not even like 8 system
Thank you!
PS: I wrote google translator, I hope you understand

I am still working on the clean install... Read on for more details.... Unfortunately it's all not going to work very well....
So I reinstated windows 8.1, tried to boot and it failed, as such I reinstalled windows 8 through its recovery tool, though I probably won't be able to do that again.
Anyway, I'm stuck now, got 5.3gb of free space and that's it. I can't progress as I can't claim more disk space. The recovery partition is more than just recovery it is actively used by windows... So if you delete that partition, Windows dies. If you try to move windows folder it will die.
The next challenge is to try move the users directory and hope it works it won't thought. Even compressing the disk space does nothing...
Lipothp, I would suggest you get a wired keyboard and connect to your tablet, go to settings, recovery, advanced and reboot. When it comes up go to troubleshoot and then the option is there for bios.
Seriously it's taken me a week to upgrade and still no closer to having everything working.
