Hi, I have a problem with booting Windows 8.
I installed it yesterday and it was working fine, I switched it off and on a few times throughout the whole day. But then I tried to turn it on again. So I turned my computer on, and chose Windows 8 in its new bootloader-thingy, and this happened: My screen and keyboard keep turning on and off after a few seconds. It lasts forever and I tried many things to fix it: using the bootloader-thing's recovery options - it didn't find any errors - and the safe mode doesn't start either.
I think it could be caused by installing the newest (beta) drivers from Nvidia (i have a Gigabyte GTX 460 OC) but i don't think it's possible as the keyboard switches off together with the screen.
I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed on another partition.
I tried rebuilding bcd / fixing mbr / fixing boot using Bootrec.exe in recovery options' cmd.
Any help?

Dude, I fixed it a long while ago!
I only had to install an older version of the drivers, as the ones i had downloaded before were somewhat unstable and caused the problem I described in the first post.
@amiththyagaraj: Please do not necropost. It clogs up the forum with useless garbage.
Hi, I've a 7" tablet "TESCO CONNECT 7" with windows 10 installed on.
I've installed android (remix os 64bit) on it.
When I've rebooted the tablet after I've modified the uefi bios to boot android and not windows the screen is always black.
I don't see the logo at the boot.... Any help???
Thank you

Hi there,
Have you managed to solve the issue ?
if you manged to boot remix:
what does/doesn't work ? ( wifi/BT/audio/touch/sound 3.5mm/speaker etc.. ).
did you manage to get a "recovery" onto the device like TWRP or CWM ?
what about root/magisk/xposed ?
which remix version and source link did you used ?
Thanks.
Hi,
I downloaded Phoenix OS 64 bit exe. Ran the app, and installed the OS on the same partition "C" on which I have Win 10. As the installation gets done, I restarted the laptop. It asks to boot in to Win 10 or Phoenix OS. I chose Phoenix, but the system rebooted to the same options to choose from Win or Phoenix.
Is there any fix
Hello?
Does grub give any errors after selecting Phoenix? Does any white on black text appear after selecting? Which version do you use and what kind of hardware (CPU/GPU)? Next time give more information from the beginning, maybe you could have gotten more help.

No!
As the Phoenix OS installer finishes the installation, I restarted the Windows. It showed me a screen to select from Win 10 or Phoenix. I chose Phoenix, a white text appear with a black background. Screen kept flashing for 3 to 4 times, without any text. I kept waiting for the Phoenix OS, but it booted me again to the first step to choose from Win or Phoenix.
My BIOS setting is Legacy. I tried to change it to UEFI, it showed me some error that device missing or something.
Laptop Specs:
AMD A8 series APU, 6 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Radeon Mobility R5.
BUMP!
I downloaded the ISO file and made a bootable USB with Rufus and it does the same thing just reboots after installation no errors even if I try to boot without installation from the USB it just keeps rebooting I'll try to find a different version tomorrow maybe it'll work
Same, I never got it to work with NTSF...
same thing happened to me.
in my case it shows language selection window and then agreement window, then right after it freezes and computer reboots.
same as me. my laptop is restarting into windows while choosing prime os or phoenix os( i tried both methods with exe file installation or iso for prime os)
the pheonix os i downloaded is the best it boots into the os then the caps lock starts blinking and it reboots back in the selection screen.. i looked online for fixes and everyones saying to turn off the wifi adaptor and use a lan cable. but whats the point of doing this. like honestly remix os does the job but it dosent have the proper keymapper for gaming other then that its great. lets just face it pheonic os is a piece of ****
Hey man, I just faced this issue and can't seem to find any solution so far, so if you've figured a solution for this can you please share it with me ... Thanks.
Android 9.0 on Your MiPad2!
We all hate that Xiaomi didn't update their MiPad 2 to latest Android. Or at least Marshmallow.. but! Today I found a way to get Android 9.0 to boot on our devices . As You know MiPad 2 uses x86_64 CPU which gives us HUGE possibilities. But it's not perfect. It's pretty buggy and booting most OS's is simply impossible. But today, I found a way to boot most likely any OS, INCLUDING ANDROID X86!
Guide:
1. Prepare: At least 8GB USB drive, USB Hub, Keyboard & Mouse, OTG Type C adapter. And make sure that You have at least 50% battery.
2. Download Rufus 2.18 or latest version.
3. Download Android x86_64 7.1 rc2.iso from android-x86.org UPDATE: Use this link for Pie! BlissOS 11.x Pie
4. Open Rufus and plug in Your USB drive.
5. Inside Rufus choose: Partition type GPT for UEFI.
Make sure that Quick Format is selected.
6. Change FreeDOS to ISO Image and choose Your ISO file.
7. Tap start.
8. Plug Your USB drive and keyboard & mouse into Your USB hub and then plug it into Your MiPad 2 through OTG adapter.
9. Turn off Your MiPad 2.
10. Quickly tap F2 button on Your keyboard multiple times and turn on Your MiPad 2.
11. Tap the F2 until You see bios.
12. Inside bios go to Device Management> Security/boot > Change GMIN to Windows and disable secure boot.
13. Tap F10 to save and then go to main BIOS menu and choose boot device.
14. Choose EFI USB drive.
15. When You see Android x86 GRUB menu tap "e" on Your keyboard and find androidboot.hardware=androidx86_64 edit it to make sure it looks like this androidboot.hardware=androidx86_64 nomodeset and then tap F10 to boot.
16. Wait for Android to boot. It will take around 5-15 minutes depending on Your USB drive speed.
17. Enjoy Your MiPad 2 running Latest Android!
Touch works. Yes! WiFi too.
Bugs:
Sound doesn't work in live mode(maybe after installing the Android it would fix the sound.)
Video playback is broken.
Brightness control is broken.
Probably other stuff too. But maybe installing it or trying Bliss OS or Remix OS would help .
Can confirm that Bliss OS with 4.9 kernel boots and works fine too.
Also tried Remix OS 3.0 and it works fine, as well as Ubuntu 17.10. Touch works in all OS's.

@ProtoDeVNan0 Sounds very interesting but I have a few questions:
- what I understand is the MI PAD2 boots from USB and runs in Live mode. So does the USB need to be connected al the time?
- does it affect your current MI PAD2 ROM?
- same procedure every time you need to reboot?
- Can from live mode do an install on your tablet (confirmed to work)?
- how is the performance?
But thanks for sharing, sound prommissing

It runs from live mode but can be installed as main OS. But then You will lose Android/MIUI.
If You run any of these OS's in Live mode then Your current rom won't be affected.
Depends on what You have installed. Android x86 aftet reboot will boot back to Android x86. And If You reboot from Live mode, it will boot back into GRUB or if You remove Your USB drive it will boot back to MIUI.
Yes. It can be installed. Haven't tried that yet because I was testing all Linux Distros and Android x86 versions but it should work just fine. Just make sure to edit grub to boot every time with nomodeset.
Performance.. it's a bit slower than MIUI. But then again. I used Live mode + extremely slow usb hub which is really bad and installing anything with it takes hours. Even on a high end desktop. But since the general stuff works quite decently. I'd say that if You installed it on Your tablet, then it would run pretty smoothly. And You would get similar Antutu score to MIUI(+/- 5-7k).
Also I tried a lot of linux distros and all of them had touch working. Native resolution worked too.
I might later try different kernels and install Android x86 on my MiPad 2 as default OS to see how it runs.
Do you try to install bliss os or remix os ?
Sounds Sweeeeet!
I am going to try it.
So I wondering now...
- If I try this with INSTALLING, not LIVE MODE, what happens to Recovery Mode and Fastboot Mode? Will they still exist? So that I can backup and restore with TWRP?
-Did you have any bugs with Remix OS 3.0? It would be cool if I can fully use it.

I have tried installing Android x86 but messed up recovery and fastboot partitions really badly. But! Thanks to DNX Fastboot Mode I was able to
fastboot boot loader.efi
fastboot flash gpt gpt.bin
(And then flash all files inside images folder, including oemvars battery disabled or else Your battery will get stuck at 42%)
And my tablet was good again .
Bugs on all OS's are pretty much identical. Like a week ago Bliss OS released Oreo update but it's alpha and it didn't boot on my MP2. And there are bugs like: no sound, rotation not working, brightness doesn't work, etc.
I think some of these could be fixed but these x86 Android OS's are stuck inside .sfs files and repacking them usually makes the rom not boot anymore.
And if You want to try to install Android x86 then I'd recommend to first install Win10 on Your tablet(so that partitions will be changed from Android ones to Windows ones) and then format "C partition/windows partition" and try to install Ax86 into that partition.
Not sure how installation looks like on RemixOS though. It might be easier or the same.
And if You won't remove/format Fastboot or TWRP partition then it should stay there. But installing Win10 will remove them. So You can try manually installing Ax86 and see how it works. Just don't delete partitions that are called: ANDROID_BOOTLOADER or ANDROID_RECOVERY. These most likely contain Fastboot and TWRP.
And if You delete any of these and Your tablet will be dead, then just remove USB cable from Your tablet, hold vol up, vol down, power until You see DNX Fastboot and follow my guide above. And don't worry. MiPad 2 seems to be unbrickable.
Hey guys!
Maybe I'm the noob but anywhere I tried to find bliss rom or remix os 3.0 for mi pad 2 I had no luck with it. Can anyone help me with a link for these roms and a proper gude how to install them? I'm really interested in remix os 3.0 but curious about bliss os as well, cause I've not heard of it yet.
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day you all
Hi all, I tried almost all recent distros and it works fine to boot in Live mode. All flavours of Mint, ubuntu. I booted up with "nomodeset" option. I did install and now, when I call grub with "Shift" and edit the installed system with nomodeset option, all I got is black screen. If someone installed any distro on MiPad 2, can someone tell me what should be done to boot into installed system? Thanks so much
is this work on Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 16gb variant?
Can I do this for Mi Pad 2 16 GB variant?
Are there any news? With Bliss Rom you can make daily use?

But for this time I need several tools (like USB C OTG Y cable, also USB Hub) to help me installing another OS like Remix or Ubuntu.
By the way anyone succeed install Remix OS 3.0 in mi pad 2 tablet?

I tried to install in my Mi Pad 2 16gb Phoenix Os, Android x86 and Bliss Os but none boot in live mode. I wait almost 30 minutes for each.
Anyone success installing Another OS to our Mi Pad 2?

You can boot to installed system by going to Advanced Option in Grub -> Recovery-> Resume boot
Good News! Today I found out that BlissOS 10.0 Oreo 8.1 works on Mi Pad 2!
Bugs are identical to earlier Android versions. But as You can see, Mi Pad 2 HW is capable of running Oreo
may throw my nexus in the bin...
was already having trouble with trying to connect to windows using usb but kept reconnecting
connected to mint successfully and flashed with twrp
however any twrp flo were giving mounting errors and rebooting, i did try few other versions but was having same issue
so i tried 2.8, now my nexus boots to recovery mode
twrp logo sits still for 5 seconds and then screen flashes black and then shows the logo again, looping
(it surely is still having mounting problems)
adb devices show nothing neither does fastboot
anyway never experienced a device with various problems
like sensors stopping out of nowhere and also taking ages to fully charge
Did it run fine on the original firmware?
