Hi....i was going to format my shift and since i never used the vista recovery option from the bios i downloaded gparted and made a live cd usb and booted it up, deleted every single partition uncluding the hidden one that i could see and in total i had one big unallocated partitionless harddrive which i saved the changes and rebooted.
I then inserted a usb stick with windows 7 on it and proceeded to install, i created a new partititon and windows asked to create that 100mb system reserved and i then proceeded with the installation which took more than twice as long as it has ever done before.
Is this due to my gparted fiddling? Because at the second stage of installation, the unpacking of files it went quick and smooth up to 38% and after that slow as hell, unlike ever before during any version install...
And now that i finally had that part of the installation behind me it proceeded to automatically reboot for the final stage and when it did reboot after the RAM and basic BIOS tests it reported bad SMART status and i pressed F1 to continue and everything resumed as it should...
But I cannot find any settings in the BIOS to turn of the SMART checking so what can I do now?
Did i not delete the MBR? as I thought it would have gone with the partitions...
And why did the installation go so incredibly slow this time?
now I just got a Blue Screen & Ataport.sys message.
Could it really be such bad timing that the computers HDD has started to fail at the same time i deleted the partition or is this a software issue and not a hardware one?
What version of Windows 7?
I accidentally downloaded a RC/ Checked Debug version which had the same problems on an original untouched HDD.
If you are using correct version, then try repartitioning woth another tool liek acronis disk director. Format completely. Reboot, then re-partition , install windows 7 (RTM available tomorrow)
oh you sound a bit more optimistic than over at hd guru forum, check what they wrote when i published my thread over there:
http://forum.hddguru.com/htc-shift-recovery-partition-gives-false-smart-bios-error-t12907.html
If there are other owners of TF810 here, perhaps we could exchange our experiences about this device.
As awesome as it is it has its weak points, mainly (IMHO) due to bugs in the system itself and poor support form Asus.
My issues:
1. Sleep/hibernate - most of the time 9 out of 10 time - my TF810 just hangs and does not want to wake up.
If I pres Win button on tablet I do get vibration but nothing else happens. I have to press & hold power button for few seconds. After that I got to do it again, but this time it vibrates and starts to boot from scratch.
2. Dock does not seem to be actually charging tablet. I left the two connected for 1 night (unplugged) with tablet and when I woke up in the morning (TF810 was not shut down prev. evening) what I found is this:
http://sdrv.ms/123sQCx so it seems that during night nothing happened
3. Few times so far when dock and station were connected I have lost ability to use cursor and touch pad.
4. one time so far (I had to use restore point) I have lost touch gestures on the tablet. Touch itself was working - I could move Modern UI screen, start apps. But I could not close any of them with touch or get Charm bar up swiping from the right.
Did anyone else had similar problems?
One more thing:
If I would have to reinstall Windows 8 on this device from scratch - how do I do it?
I have not noticed any Win8 activation/serial key.
I have noticed that there is a hidden partition (actually there is few of them) on the C: drive - if I would have to start W8 from one of them - how?
Lastly...
I suppose that with limited space on this device it would be best if I could backup (what is important from those hidden partitions on cloud/nas drive) in case I will need it in future. This way I could get this space back and if needed lod backed up stuff to USB stick/micro sd card and restore form there,
Does any one knows step by step guide - since it is expensive device and Asus support is shy (to say the least) I would love to make sure I do not f..up something...
The key might be printed on a sticker in the battery compartment.
Right click on My computer > properties. Does it show "Windows 8 Pro 64bit" ? If not What is the operating system?
The recovery that you are talking is a separate partition or a folder on C drive?. Does it have a single file named RefreshImage.wim?

There is no such thing as battery compartment on TF810 + if you would read title of my post you would not ask about the system (especially that TF810 runs Atom Z2760).
Anyway, on your main question and my issue - this is how 64GB drive built in this system looks like:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=9B14B7F8CBC1A2BE!16032&authkey=!ACGHuYfKHyZ5fpM
So there is few GB that I could get back...
Just how?
Thing is you want to delete that partition and do a clean install
Whenever I have tried the clean install or Reset option Under settings > general, Win8 asks for a product key

Sorry but I do not follow...
I do want to get rid of this partition - it is 8GB. |Considering my drive is only 64GB - it is a lot of space I could use.
I need to be sure (before I do that) that I will be able to get W8 back on TF810 if I need to.
DVD I got is with W8 Pro (both 32/64bits) and key has been used so it will not work.
With Asus I have not seen key anywhere
I did some research and according to it Windows 8 comes with OEM Activation 3.0. It means that your product key is embedded in bios. Problem solved
Also MS has provided its own tutorial to copy recovery partition to USB drive for Surface pro.It should not work for you
http://www.microsoft.com/Surface/en-US/support/storage-files-and-folders/create-a-recovery-drive
After this you can format the 8GB partition and label it so it will show up as a new partition.
If you want to merge it with C, you will have to "Delete everything and re-install Windows" under settings > general and delete both partitions during re installation
There are a number of tools that can merge partitions without re installing but I haven't used them on Win8 so not sure about their compatibility

Thanks for the link - I'll read it now.
Merging without re installation is the most tempting option...
Aomei Partition manager is the one that I used on Win7 for this. It is pretty good. However I haven't tried it on 8 yet.
to be sure this article confirms that you will not need a product key http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33642_7-57554240-292/windows-8-moves-to-bios-based-product-keys/

I have a WinBook TW800 from Micro Center. I wanted to load Windows 10 on it, has anyone on here done this? Maybe you can give me tips\pointers on how to go about doing this; is the update method better or would a clean install be the ideal way? Thanks for your help in advanced.
Well I got my answer today while trying to do it via the update way. I got an error that my tablet wasn't able to upgrade because the OS is compressed something about Boot WIM. SMH.

I'm having issues too. I don't think the 800 has enough space to do the install. The 801 seems like a better option due to the 16gb of storage, vs the 8gb on the 800.

Apparently I can't because the memory is full so I basically can't do anything with this POS. I can't back it up or restore it or add anything to it, it actually runs out of disk space when uninstalling stuff.
I successfully installed Windows 10 on my TW-801 I first installed internally (internal installation failed) and then installed again via the sdcard (so you have to burn the win image to the sdcard for the second install in addition to doing the download for the first install). The second time Windows 10 was activated. I am also running Ubuntu with VMWare on a virtual machine on this tablet. Windows 10 is alot better than 8.1 on this tablet. I think even though the internal installation fails it saves the Windows 10 activation code and the second install works because it is not a download and is directly from the cd or in this case the sd. Also, during the first download (that fails) two files are created on the c drive that I copied to the sdcard that I had already burned the win image on it - I don't know if that did anything or not.
I recently bought a generic android head unit from Ali Express. It actually works well but I really need to connect it to a CAN bus and write some additional software (background: I want to replace the factory unit in a Nissan Leaf, so it needs to display some vehicle info, show the heater settings and set up the charge timer). I have experience in Android app development and embedded Linux, but I'm still a 'noob' when it comes to Android hacking (root access etc).
I'm pretty sure I will need root access to do what I want. It has 'CAN tx / rx' pins on the back, and I am pretty sure they are wired to one of the serial interfaces internally (I will need an adapter to convert UART to CAN as well). I played around with an app to access the serial ports (i.e. ttyxxx) but I didn't have permission to use many of them - probably the ones I wanted!
I don't want to re-write the existing music player, amp control and radio; I just want to add a new app to carry out my vehicle-specific functions.
I tried the root process given here but it didn't work.
Here are the device details:
Model: S07
MCU Version: MTCB-HA-V2.60
Android Version: 4.4.4_01062015
Kernel Version: 3.0.36+ [email protected] #278
CPU: ARM7 1.6G x 2
CPU/SOC is an RK3066 on a modular board. Pictures attached.
It doesn't have any physical buttons except reset - there are touch sensitive buttons for power, back and volume. It has one SD card slot for map data and no USB on the front (several on the back).
I haven't figured out how to get to the recovery console, or connect it to a PC via USB.
Any suggestions for how to root? Or get to recovery console?
Anyone else with a similar device?
Check out the Huefi thread above. It has everything you need. first page covers root. basically, download the rom you want, put it on the GPS SD card, insert it, and wait for it to ask you to update. Once you do that, it will be rooted. there is no other way to root it if it has 4.4.4. DO NOT INSTALL A MCU file for it unless it is for HA devices. HA is the manufacture of the unit, and if you use an MCU file for a different device, you run the risk of loosing the physical buttons on the unit. This can be repaired by going into recovery and flashing the HA MCU, but that is a lot of extra work
Hi! Thanks for your reply.
I was wary about installing a new image because I don't want to lose the existing radio app and amplifier controls (which are specific to the device rather than the RK3066 SOC module, if I have understood the structure correctly).
* Would a new image replace these apps, or are they actually in the MCU firmware anyway?
* Can I back up my current image first? I looked at some backup tools, but they all needed root access... =Catch 22.
Sorry for noob questions... I'm getting the hang of Linux but still new to messing with Android at a low level. I'd love to play around with a stripped Ubuntu or similar on the device, but I don't want to have to write my own software for the radio parts - at least not yet.
BTW do you know how the bootloader system works? Is it possible to boot from SD card or USB (therefore allowing some other OS to be booted without replacing the onboard image)?

I cant help with the bootloader issues, but I can with some of the others:
-Radio and Amplifier apps are the same on all units, or should I say is compatible across all units. If you were to go into the settings, then factory settings and enter 126 as the password, you can see all the settings you need to make sure your unit functions after upgrading your rom image.
-You can not back up your factory image. its not possible. You can always reach out to your seller and ask them if they will send you a copy of the factory firmware.

SUCCESS! I just downloaded and installed the latest image from Malaysk (I think?) and it looks like it is working well! Radio, music player and amplifier work, and I have root access. Woo! So far so good... Thanks!

Hi, I also didn't know the screen resolution, and it is not mentioned on the "About" screen.
In the settings menus, I found some options for recording a video of the display (I don't know why!) and the maximum resolution there was 1024 x 600. I figured that you wouldn't bother to record at higher res than the screen had, so the resolution must be 1024x600. This seemed to work!
My stereo has absolutely NO branding on it anywhere so I don't know whether it's a clone of Huifei or something else, but it worked with the "Malaysk" firmware, which I downloaded from the Huifie file repository (linked from here), under firmware->Malaysk ROM->Malaysk DualCore RK3066).
I picked the bottom one (12th Jun 15, 1024x600 with different launcher).

I just installed the same unit. Only complaints are streaming music via Bluetooth only works if you open up the Bluetooth app (probably because android doesn't act as a Bluetooth sink). The other issue is, I cannot seem to change the brightness of the screen...its a touch too dim for daylight (I have a convertible) and a bit too bright for nighttime.
Glad to see you got a custom rom working.

Doesn't appear to be an img file in the context of "burn it" so I think that answers that question (just copy it) The head unit doesn't seem to do anything when I drop it in though (either with it on when I insert it or with it already inserted during a reset). Any thoughts?

The file should be "update.zip". I used a new SD card - try formatting one with FAT32.
You just copy it to the card and insert it - I think the stock Android image automatically checks for update files that look like this, and loads them. This process worked OK for me - if not then hopefully someone here knows more about the update process than me.

Instead of flashing a new image, go to the factory settings and type in *#hct#root#
This should give you root, no need to flash a new image

Bonjour.
If you would like more than root and you're still having trouble getting into recovery with your Hot Audio RK3066 1024x600 2 DIN Head Unit, the steps below have worked for me when the system does not automatically detect the mcu or update.img.
*** Prior to flashing any OEM or Custom ROM firmware, I recommend using a backup app like Titanium to save all your existing apps and data to your external micro sd card or usb memory stick.
1) Install Quick Boot or a similar apk from the play store.
2) Attach a wireless usb or usb keyboard and confirm it is working as intended. I use a Lenovo N5902 but most usb or wireless usb keyboards should work for this task.
3) Make sure you have the update and or mcu image file on your gps micro sd card or an attached usb memory stick (not the zip file).
4) Open Quick Boot, select recovery, and the system will shut down and boot into recovery.
5) Use your usb keyboard to scroll or arrow down to the update option with correct img file location, then press enter to execute the mcu or android firmware update or both.
6) After you update the android firmware, it is highly recommended that you go into the Settings > Backup & Reset, and select reset to factory and check the box to delete all data from the internal sd card. This reset to factory and internal sd card wipe should give your updated android system a clean start and help avoid system issues due to left over data from the previous firmware.
7) Delete the mcu and or update image from your external micro sd card. Done.
Hope this helps...
Best to all,

Hi
I own a Linx 7 windows tablet. Android x86 builds have not been great due to lack of sound and other driver issues.
I want to flash the bios - the dual boot one - from the cube iwork7 tablet.
In a youtube video by "Mr Borshchuk" - i cant post links, the cube is shown here running the LINX bios, the same version as my tablet. Can I do the reverse and flash the cube dual boot bios on my Linx?
Do you think this would work?
They seem to have the same spec etc and I'm guessing the same board- the cube just has a silver back. All ports are in the same place.
UPDATE: After looking more on 4pda, the iwork seems to come in 1/16GB variants and 2/32GB variants. My linx has 1GB of ram but 32gb of storage. Would this be an issue? My search also confirmed they are hardware clones.
So, that's the BIOS flash method. My other thought is is there a way to boot the android rom from the cube tablet from the stock linx bios? I have tried using the androidx86 bootloader combined with parts of the cube image and parts of androidx86 but, as expected, it didn't work.
So: I'm currently downloading the dual-boot bios from 4pda. Should I flash to my Linx?
Thanks. I've always loved XDA.

Check my 'link' to LinxTablet forums. You have to flash both but you can just ignore Windows and have a 16GB android partition.

Done all that which was handy enough so thanks but the android partition is only showing up as:
Internal Storage
Total Space: 4.36GB
I've loaded some apps which leaves me 2 GB free.
The only other partition is the external SD. Is there something I need to do to get the rest of the 16GB? Seems to me that it hasn't mounted or partitioned the internal memory correctly. The tablet is 32GB and I'm not concerned at just using the 16GB for android but with 2 GB left it's going to be a bit tight for apps.
Thanks again, any help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure. I'll check mine tonight but I remember having more storage than that. Are you sure your tablet is a 32gb version
Try using Minitool or Easus on the Windows side to resize the android partition if you can, or even just view the layout.
KitKat lacks support for apps to extsd. Root would mean we can fix this. The device does not support USB as port is otg and charge only so root has to be done with APK on tablet or on offline android fs from Windows. Anyone know how to root?
EDIT: checked. I have 3.43 GB free. Sorry, should have checked earlier. Android system takes up 2GB not shown, storage is only 28GB after bootloader, BIOS partition huge due to touch support in menus plus unnecessary drivers, plus I imagine the EFI partition was wrongly sized. This is fine for me, but will look into when I am working on Android again.
Currently not working on Android any more (fruity-based desktop OS port instead) but will come back to it. Hoping to also create an Androidx86 build to avoid BIOS flashing, but the BIOS flash does mean you have 64bit EFI on the Android side so can boot Win7, Darwin (you know what I mean ) and Ubuntu without modification.
Still looking to root. Anyone?

I'm not sure. I'll check mine tonight but I remember having more storage than that. Are you sure your tablet is a 32gb version
Try using Minitool or Easus on the Windows side to resize the android partition if you can, or even just view the layout.

Thanks man. I'll try to resize the partition if/when I need it. Great work, well appreciated.

Any bugs to note with the *toshing?
Rooting wise I can see two options. 1. mount the android system in windows with ext2 viewer or something and root it manually using a SuperSU.zip or better yet with linux (to avoid permissions issues). 2. Is there any other stage in the android boot process that you can halt it at? Dnx mode or droidboot (I'm assuming similar setup to chuwi vi10), where perhaps the usb will work in slave mode and it is identified as a fastboot device, allowing you to flash a custom recovery/root.

Good idea. The flash is done using droidboot but I cannot get back into recovery again

If its anything like the vi10 then Dnx mode is volume up and power from device off. Volume down and power is Windows/Android switcher. Volume down once the android logo appears will boot into droidboot.
Then there is the question of if you have a working custom recovery to flash, I think any of the baytrail recoveries from Dell/Chuwi etc. devices would work - will a kernel change if needed, and if the buttons work to enter recovery.

Will try this when I next have some spare time and my Linx to hand.
Knowing the reputation if Cube it wouldn't suprise me if the stock recovery allowed custom zips but otherwise I will try and flash another recovery from a similar tablet.
I'll take another look on 4pda to see if they have achieved root there too
Thanks again
I have root if anyone is interested email me on [email protected]

Go to linxtablet.co.uk I put my work on there it does mean flashing the bios so backup your product key also the Android partition is only 4gig so you can dual boot and have both I did find a way of making it 8gig but it was messy and buggy
