Hi everybody,
I spent my time to find a solution to install Windows 10 but without success...
I followed tutorials but i'm blocked at the moment where I select my key into the Bios (2.05) -> Boot override and nothing happens it flash quickly and I can select the key indefinitely.
Someone can help me ?
Many thanks.
Hi, there are a few key things you need to do to ensure proper recognition and install:
1. Windows must be 32bit (no connection to your issue just mentioning it, because 64bit install will brick your device)
2. Use Rufus tool to create a bootable drive and in the Partition Scheme menu choose GPT
If you do all of the above and your flash drive is not faulty, you should not encounter any issues
If you still do, try to turn off your device and turn it on by keeping the power + volume up buttons together to get the dual boot screen. From there you should be able to click on the windows icon if your flash drive is prepared correctly and the setup will start.
P.S. Silly quiestion but are you sure you have the dual OS bios?
Hi,
Step 1 already did but in the second step when I keep power + volume up nothing happens only booting.
I don't think I have the DualBios but I can't find the right files with a good tutorial.
Thanks
Hi, I did flash a dual os bios form c6j8 to my m5c5 (which now works fine with Windows 10 32bit), but you must understand you do that at you own risk and may cause you to brick your device.
This is the thread that explains how to flash the bios https://forum.xda-developers.com/x98-air/help/unbrick-bios-softbrick-withouth-eeprom-t3285054 and you can find the dual bios for c5j8 around the forum. If you can't I can zip mine and post them somewhere.
Hi,
I don't want to take this risk but thank You.
Do You have an idea if we can install Android 6.0 or 7.0 on this tablet ?

Hi All.
I've had my flashed severtal times with the new ROM and never had any problems with it (apart from ROM itself not being perfect).
Yesterday I've cooked myself a plain ROM and flashed phone with it. Flash took less than a minute and my phone isn't starting any more. I've checked NBH file and it's only 6 MB!
At the moment all I can do it to is to try to turn it on, it stops on the 'Smart Mobility' screen with red info on the bottom. Info reads:
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34U
D 1.59.48753
When I start my phone with Vol Down button pressed it goes to tricolor and when I continue to hold Vol Down I get white screen with message: Loading: No Image File! showing on the screen briefly and back to tricolor.
No problem you say - flash another ROM. But at the moment my phone doesn't connect to my PC. Cable tested with another HTC - works. When I connect it I get USB on the screen but Flashing utility doesn't detect the phone.
When I try to Hard Reset the phone it just starts normally. So Vol Up + Vol Down + Power doesn't work at all. All I have is smart mobility and tricolor.
Info from Tricolor:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
and on the bottom either Serial or USB.
Question is:
is there anything I can do to revive my phone? Is there any way to flash it without USB connection? If yes, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance,
There is a way of flashing from SD card if you have HSPL (you do... OliNex).
Please do some search...
if it displays usb in tricolor you can flash a rom with CustomRUU from there. its not bricked
Put BLACIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and enter bootloader mode, it'll detect it and ask if you want to flash it - press power button to confirm.
Dont connect your phone to your computer.
Hold down the Volume down button and hit the power button.
Your entering the tricolor boot screen and at the bottom the word "Serial".
Now connect you phone to your computer with te USB cable the word serial disappear and now it says USB.
Now you can normally flash/update your phone.
Thank for all your answers.
Problem still lasts, tried everything I could, including trying another computer. I've tried SD card flashing but couldn't get past tricolor. Everytime I tried all I got was No image file! and nothing.
In desperate act of dying I've went to my neighbour and borrowed his old Win XP laptop and it worked... Currently flashing new ROM to it.
What I cannot understand is why my computer (iMac running Windows on parralels), my laptop (Win 7) and my second laptop (Win Vista) couldn't detect the phone. I've succesfully flashed it before using all three machines, including virtualized Win 7 on my mac :/
Any ideas why it stopped working? I'll try to connect it again when ROM will be fully flashed and let you know.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Cheers,
Why don't you try shipped ROM, it may do the trick.
Get the original shipped ROM from HTC site or from XDA site.
Extract the content in some directory
Rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh and copy it on root folder of your SD card.
Now start your phone holding Vol down button.
Fingers crossed to to start flashing
Hi again.
I can confirm that due to flashing my phone with that odd 6MB ROM I could not connect it to any computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7. Strangely enough - it worked with Windows XP Professional. I have managed to flash my phone again on it using custom ROM from this forum.
Cheers,

Glad you got this sorted. As your issue is now rectified I'm closing this thread
Hi Everyone, after i read a lot about rooting i'm trying to do so...
I Downgraded my legend from 2.05 to 1.31, then I followed modaco instruction, installing adb, creating a goldcard, doing step 1.
All works perfect...
After step1-windows.bat, the Legend return to the fastboot screen. I changed my SDcard(the Goldcard) with another one (Not Goldcard)and rebooting the phone in fastboot mode. Here i entered the Bootloader, and using vol down i entered recovery mode (The screen with the black phone with a triangle and a !). then i run step2-windows.bat but i'm stuck with a lot of errors... and still remaining on the recovery mode without the wipe selection (i tried the optic trackball but nothin happens still no wipe selection)... What can possibly be? I use Windows 7 64 bit, maybe is this the problem?
the problem is daemon not running (with consequence trying to restart it), and daemon still not runningerror:cannot connect to daemon....
if needed i can post the windows terminal...
Thxs a lot in advance
Had the same problem in win7x64 when I rooted my legend. I eventually did step2 in linux running in virtualbox (you could use a linux liveCD too). I suspect some driver issues, but never investigated further.
Probably driver issues, Installing HTC Sync might fix the problem.
Hi
i got same broblem then i used the "recovery-clockwork-legend"
it will do the same thing as without connecting to the USB
it is being explained under topic "Fake-flash by Koush, launching recovery without a PC" in this forum
please follow the same step in this topic
" forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698404 "
"please make sure that u have save the both the rom that u want to flash it and the update.zip files to ur micro SD card"
Thanks and best of luck
Try to go into taskmanager and kill htcUPC, and then try step2 again, that worked for me
Solved using linux ubuntu 10.10 althought i think i can solved too with buusing suggestion... i thought too that it was a conflict on some HTC driver part but didn't know what to kill...
Howewer strange things continue to happen... recovery-linux.sh (or recovery-windows.bat) didn't work... so i managed to relaunch step2 to install the new ROM... all works accordingly then... and now i have azure on my legend...
Thank you Everyone! I Mean IT!
to solve this problem, between step 1 and 2, type on a console "adb kill-server" and then write step2-windows or step2-linux, etc.
Huho, I think I bricked my Teclast X98 air 3G (C5J8) by flashing the 2.02 bios on it...
I installed the last Mirek 7.0 rom and lost my Windows boot so I tried to flash the 2.02 bios to recover it and now the tablet bootloop, I only see the red marking and it boot again....
Here is the video of the issue: https://youtu.be/8v7EM0D21rk
I tried to access to the bios, it works, but there are no boot devices recognized.
Any idea about how to recover that ? (I made a save of of my bios before the flash so I have the working bios, i just don't know how to flash it again)
Just for info, you use Mirek's flash tool for flash bios or you use another way?

i did some (custom) tool to restore the bios but only for the m5c5 mode (you can find it already as the owner wich asked me for that has an open thread here on X98 forum) and i don't know how much these models are compatible (and better not make assumptions when it comes to bios). in order to make a similar one for those who need a bios restore for the c5j8 model i need an owner to send me:
1. the bios file (it's a 8MB file)
2. the droidboot.img from the stock rom
i don't have a X98 device (mine is a Yoga Tab 2 - 13")
Here are the files: https://mega.nz/#F!AU5DkCRL!OaoPDyAlg0G4FFf1KkPc6w
If you could do something, I could be awesome !!!!

Hi.
I have the same problem.
Did you manage to fix it somehow?
Hey,
today i recieved my X98 Air III 32GB. After flashing Mirek190's rom v7 on to the tablet i tried to install windows 10. I used a 32bit/64bit .iso to create a bootable usb drive.
When I tried to boot from the device, i got an error message "ACPI_BIOS_ERROR" and the device turned itself off. Now I can't turn it on, not enter the BIOS or use the DnX mode to flash it.
Can I still rescue it or is it lost? Im not afraid to open it up, but I couldnt find anything about how to unbrick a m5c5.
External SPI EERPOM flashing - which stores the BIOS.
Whoops posted in wrong thread, mod can delete.
Hello & Help
Windows updated on my X98 Plus and now I cant boot into android, No option to choose any more.
Apparently, the 10 home was a reinstall and not a true upgrade. and it was automatic...?
I think it wiped out my boot loader
I need help recovering android thx!
To help others,
Use the OTG (short) cable that came with your tablet to connect a keyboard.
Repeatedly press F7 when it looks like its going to start.
It should bring you to the American Megatrends BIOS.
There you can change the boot OS
