Hi Im kinda new here though I have rooted a few phones using directions from XDA Ive always found any help I needed here. I just purchased 2 of the X10 7P Airpads. These airpads were advertised as having Android Gingerbread v 2.3.4 and it had Android Marketplace. Well unfortunately it has been modded to not include the ability to register your google account so you cant use the Android Market. The Account & Sync section under settings is completely missing. I copied the android marketplace apk file from another device and installed it, but when I try to use it - it ask me if I want to add my google account so I click yes and it just jumps to the tablets homepage. I am forced to use Amazon marketplace and it sucks! Ive searched high and low to find out if I can root the tablet or something so I can get access to the regular android marketplace. I searched on here and cant find anything as of yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I dont even know if I posted this in the right place - so any help will be greatly appreciated. Bad thing is I bought these primarily for the marketplace and now cant use it.
root the airpad 7p
I was able root my airpad 7p following these instructions
I guess due to policy even though I have been a memeber since 2008, I can't post the links but if you go to my blog
then I have all of the liks. my blog is
www-pathfindertech-net/how-to-root-the-air-pad-and-then-install-ice-cream-sandwich/
STEP 1 Download the Firmware:
STEP 2 Download and install LiveSuitPack
Guide:
Prepare the files
1. Extract the firmware so you can see the image named “MOMO9C-4-Kevin”
2. Install LiveSuitPack 1.07
2. After running the exe go to the folder and run the application (LiveSuit.exe approx. 2mb)
3. Browse to the folder where the image MOMO9C-4-Kevin
4. The tablet should be off
Prepare the Momo9
5. Whilst keep volume+ button pressed, plug it in via USB
6. Keep pressing the volume+ button and also press the power button time for 10 times
7. After several presses on the power button there will be a “sound” it connects as Windows recognises new USB hardware
8. Windows 7 will install drivers automatically, in Windows XP you need to point windows to the directory where you extracted software
9. When all the drivers are installed, the firmware will start to install automatically
Finishing the Installation
10. There will be no sign of loading on the Momo9 – don’t worry
11. On the PC, LiveSuit shows a bar graph – it takes about 2 mins to go onto the Momo9
12. After the yellow bar on Livesuite is completed action (about 2 mins) nothing happens.
13. You will see an exclamation mark (using Windows 7) with no text. Click OK.
14. Then wait a few seconds. Unplug the momo9 from the USB. You will see a green battery symbol. Ignore it. Restart the tablet manually (as normal using the on/off button).
15. After this, you will be given two options, click start using android wizard (or something similar).
Everything should be included (Market, Navigation, Maps etc) Enjoy it!
TOTAL TIME INCLUDING DOWNLOADS 20 minutes maximum
Anyone else try one of these airpads and root it?

Hello Friends..............
You Should Know First that
"What is rooting on Android? The Advantages and Disadvantages"
“Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software.
With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes,
Increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money
(ex: Wi-Fi tethering).
Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device.

First of all.. thanks for this post.
I was trying to find a way to root my is701c, but couldn't find it in the internet. Will definitely try the method u have mentioned here.
But while reading your post I had some questions in mind.. How to make usb dubbing on? where can I find this option?
Now u have written "After Connecting The Device Will Install Needed Drivers.................. (Maybe needed Internet Connection)"
I really dont understand this.. can u please explain this step?
One more question I want to ask you..
My is701c shows only 280mb of ram. I have asked some people about this who own the same model.
And every one of them told that they also have total 280mb ram in their device.. instead of 512mb!!!!!!!!!
Is the ram usage restricted by penta? Can I increase the amount of available ram after rooting the device?
Please reply...
Thanks

You have not mentioned your model. I am supposing you are using IS701C.. If not, then you have to download some other update file for your model. You can check here.. pantel.in/Techforum
Anyway, I also faced the same problem while doing some incorrect operations.. Here's the solution..
Go to this link.. [if u r using IS701C model]
pantel.in/download/IS701C_penta_20120918.rar
download the software upgrade (size is nearly 230mb)
then you have to flash your device.. internal memory will be formatted and operating system will get installed
Dont worry.. the steps are simple & instructions can be found within the downloaded .rar file.
But keep in mind, that the data in your internal memory will be erased.
Another advantage of doing this is.. if you have an old build of IS701C, then dongle connectivity issues will be fixed.
Cheers!

Anyone got this tab yet? I received my Auxus CoreX2 couple of days back. Trying to find ways to root the device. Currently stuck at finding USB drivers for the tab. When you connect the Tab to PC, it allows mounting storage as USB drive (which means no ADB access). If anyone has any inputs on things I should try, please share.
Update: Root successful. Apologies for the delay, but the tutorial is coming very soon. Stay tuned.
Update 2: Tutorial will go live on 1st February by the end of the day. In the meanwhile another rooting method posted by someone else seems to be working on both CoreX2 as well as CoreX4
Update 3: Firmware update instructions added
Update 4: Firmware update instructions for CoreX4 added
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Rooting Options:
Method 1: Courtesy user @Kudremukh. It seems to be working on CoreX4 as well (CoreX2 is confirmed).
Finally I am able to root my Auxus Core X2 3G Tab. For this I first checked the chipset details of tab. I found It is Rock Chip. After searching on net I found 2 links on the web on rooting rockchip based tab rooting
1. forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=84374.0
2. tabletrepublic.com/forum/teclast-a10-dual-core/how-root-teclast-a10-dual-core-2491.html
Please check this out
Procedure of rooting:-
1. go to first link and download the App ( it is a chinees app) mentioned in the link
2. Enable USB debug mode on your tab
3. Lauch the application you just downloaded and connect tab to pc
4. if your device not recognised when connected to PC, then you download and install "chinees android manager" application from the second link.
5. If your device recognised then click on " ROOT" button ( actually it is not button, it is a link with chinees language). You can see the image in the second link.
6. Thats it YOUR DEVICE IS NOW ROOTED.
7. In my case I tried twice the same procedure to get root acces.
8. sorry I forgot to mention that, after process is over a Supervu icon will be created in your tab.
9. click it and get access
10. I am not very fluent in english. So if there is any problems in my writing, please excuse
thank you

Method 2: Rooting using ADB
Posted by user skv_vlr_mech
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37410666
This is almost the same method I used for rooting. I can confirm that this will work 100%.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Instructions to update firmware on CoreX2 3G (Tested on Windows 7, not working on Windows 8)
1. Switch-off the tablet and make sure the tablet sufficiently charged (I would suggest 50% charge as minimum)
2. Connect the USB cable to tablet (But don't connect it to PC)
3. Press and hold the HOME button (triangular) on the tablet and simultaneously connect the other end of USB cable to PC.
4. Your PC will show "Found new hardware" and it will search for driver. Drivers are located in the folder "Drivers". Let windows search for drivers in the "Drivers" folder and allow it is install drivers even if it complains about the drivers not being digitally signed.
5. If you don't get "new hardware" notification on your PC, try the following:
a. Shutdown the tablet by pressing and holding power button for 10 seconds.
b. Connect the USB cable to PC (don't connect the other end of the cable to tablet yet).
c. Press and Hold the Home button on tablet and simultaneously insert cable in the tablet.
d. You should now see "new hardware found" wizard on Windows.
4. Open the file "CoreX2-3G-Tool.exe". If the drivers were successfully installed, a green box will appear under "Connected Devices". If no green box comes up, restart your PC and follow the entire procedure to install drivers again.
6. Click "Upgrade" button and the process will start automatically.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT press Cancel or Disconnect the Tablet from PC during the upgrade process as it will render your tablet un-bootable and useless.

Hello,
In your update 4 on first post, I noticed you have provide a quote as to how to correct if things go wrong. I request you to kindly add a line about how to turn the tab off.
I did the following,
1. Tried by inserting the sd card with the stock firmware and then pressing the hidden button b/w the sd card and sim card slots and the power and volume down ("V-") button simultaneously prompting it to re-install my firmware.
2. This was the only way by which I could re-install as you cant switch off this tab when its stuck in boot loop.

Anyone got this tab yet? I received my Auxus CoreX2 couple of days back. Trying to find ways to root the device. Currently stuck at finding USB drivers for the tab. When you connect the Tab to PC, it allows mounting storage as USB drive (which means no ADB access). If anyone has any inputs on things I should try, please share.

Can confirm this does not work.
Step 1. CoreX2 firmware is up on iBerry website. I have downloaded it and it does have drivers for the tab. Going to try to see if I can get ADB access.
Will post an update soon.
Success. Rooted after spending so many hours. Will post a tutorial soon if anyone's interested.

It is certainly not the most responsive touch panel but I don't have any problems you mentioned. Try updating the firmware that is available on iBerry website.
I will be posting tutorial on how to root very soon.

My Dad just bought a AUXUS CoreX4 3G. Am waiting eagerly to root it and also wanted to install JB. I see some other devices of iBerry have JB installed on them but this one has ICS. Also this device CoreX4 3G is having problems with the Phone/Mobile part of it. The calls are not audible when on speaker mode even on full volume. and if we donot switch on the Data access over mobile network, strangely it doesnot connect to the mobile network.
Hoping if i Install a JB of some custom rom it will help improve the touch sensitivity and mobile network access control.
Vijay
ZhuoDaShi method works, removed all blotware not tablet is flying no lags whatever
Finally I am able to root my Auxus Core X2 3G Tab. For this I first checked the chipset details of tab. I found It is Rock Chip. After searching on net I found 2 links on the web on rooting rockchip based tab rooting
1. forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=84374.0
2. tabletrepublic.com/forum/teclast-a10-dual-core/how-root-teclast-a10-dual-core-2491.html
Please check this out
Procedure of rooting:-
1. go to first link and download the App ( it is a chinees app) mentioned in the link
2. Enable USB debug mode on your tab
3. Lauch the application you just downloaded and connect tab to pc
4. if your device not recognised when connected to PC, then you download and install "chinees android manager" application from the second link.
5. If your device recognised then click on " ROOT" button ( actually it is not button, it is a link with chinees language). You can see the image in the second link.
6. Thats it YOUR DEVICE IS NOW ROOTED.
7. In my case I tried twice the same procedure to get root acces.
8. sorry I forgot to mention that, after process is over a Supervu icon will be created in your tab.
9. click it and get access
10. I am not very fluent in english. So if there is any problems in my writing, please excuse
thank you
Kishore Kumar
^^I will add your method in the first post. I have used a different approach to rooting the device which I will share by end of day today.

Amazing, Thank you dude. I am able to root my corex4 with this method. Now I am waiting for any custom JB rom to flash.
Latest firmware
Iberry has uploaded firmware on their website, but when i check from my tab for update in settings it shows you have latest firmware. Is there any change or patch in firmware they uploaded in website or just the same copy.

It is CoreX4 right? I am going to try this method and I want to make sure it is not a spelling mistake.
BTW, I am having a strange problem with the tablet. If charging is being done, regardless of how, the screen behaves very strangely. It registers touch input at random places automatically. I tried the charger included with the tablet, usb power charging, usb system charging. All behave in the same manner. This only happens when you have the tablet flatly grounded on a surface. If you lift the tablet in your hands, the problem goes away.
Can somebody confirm? I want to know that is this an issue with only my tablet or is a problem found across the board.
Update:
I called iBerry customer care and the guy on the phone confirmed that this is indeed a problem plagueing these tablets. He was giving me all kind of lame reasons, like "the battery is huge, it needs more power", "it might be happening because of voltage fluctuations", "it has ips screen, so power surges while charging can cause the issue". I have a iPad2 too so I quelled all his excuses.
So it seems this issue is a known issue with the tablet. The only way to use your tablet while charging is to keep it in your hands. Otherwise the performance of the tablet is quite impressive.
Happy to know
FIRST SWITCH OFF AND ON YOUR DEVICE AND PLUG IN YOUR CHARGER TO electric socket and 2nd insert the charger pin into your female charging port on your tablet and check it it will slove your malfunction .

Good day!
I am posting here in the hope it helps someone. If I am posting in the wrong place or doing something else wrong please do let me know.
I am going to post some links & some text instructions but will explain the outline first.
I own a Lenovo A8-5500-H tablet, lenovo H variants according to the internet are made with the same hardware as their HV varients but a different ROM. H's have 3g data & wifi but not voice calling, HV's have 3d data & wifi & voice calling. After some googling & translating from Russian I discovered the ROM for the H but not the HV, then a few days ago the HV was posted - with the most dreadful instructions in Russian that translated poorly & still involved some faffing around. Anywho I can confirm that you can load the HV rom onto the H and get the 3g calls and all the other pre installed lenovo stuff. The phone is not rooted. The only advantage is that the H is about £50 less than the HV to purchase.
I have permission of the author to share his program and the rom. My links are to the russian lenovo forum where you may have to register.
After the links I will put my own instructions (within this post) which are much easier to follow than russian ones. Again I hope this helps someone.
http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/file/582-lenovo-a8-a5500-a5500hv-a442-000-017-140709-row-call/ this is th a8-5500-hv rom.
http://lenovo-forums.ru/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=15372 this is the lenovo driver pack - you need to use this & not windows own.

NOT FOR USE ON THE -F VARIANT.
ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS
This is not a direct translation. This provides directions for installing the Lenovo A8-5500-HV Rom onto a Lenovo A8-5500-H device for the perpose of making 3g calls. I have tested this function and method and verify that it works.
However I take no responsibility for you or you device.
Apparently with Lenovo wherever they have a H & HV variant the hardware is the same and the ROMs interchangeable. I have not verified this.
Lets go!
1. Don't Panic. If it doesn't work, you should not have bricked your device, just reload the original ROM.
2. Equipment needed - USB lead to attach device to PC / laptop, preferably the original but another powered lead will do the job ... Your tablet ... a laptop or PC ....
3. Files needed .. Original rom for if you go wrong, called A5500H_A442_000_013_140526_ROW at the time of writing. The new Rom called A5500HV_A442_000_017_140709_ROW, the drivers called LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10
4. Time, less than an hour. Maybe half that time.
Apparently 99% of lenovo phones & tablets use the same driver. If yours doesn't I may be able to help but I may not.
(Potential problems:
Windows XP can get confused. You may need to install windows media player 11.)
5. On the PC / Laptop
Unzip the driver file and run it.
6.Unzip the new rom.
7. Have device manager open. You want the tablet to show as MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM port (COM44) or some variant of this. so on Windows 7 or 8 install the divers (without the tablet plugged in).
8. Ensure your tablet is TURNED OFF (seriously this is not a typo) and plug it in. If you the the meditek stuff all well and good. If not you have to be QUICK
9. In the 2 seconds that the device manager says unknown device, right click on it and update driver (pointing the to previously unzipped driver files).
10. Remove the tablet from the laptop / PC
11. Run Flash_tool.exe which is part of the unzipped rom.
12. Click on scatter loading.
13. Go to the folder target_bin and select the file MT6582_scatter_LVP5-3G-ROW-Voice.1.017.01
14. Tick the box called DA-DL with all Checksum (again dont panic if you forget - it just wont work & you have to try again)
15. Click button called Upgrade firmware.
16. Plug in the still powered off tablet. there will be some flashing. If not check the tablet to make sure it's not doing anything, unplug phone, wait a minute and start again.
17. When you see a bright green circle it is complete.
18. You may now unplug your tablet and turn it on.
If you are using the software with another lenovo device, if the battery is removable please do so before plugging into the PC / Laptop.
All ROM & software work was by Steaven on the Lenovo Forum. Google translate, common sense, guesswork and trial and error provided by MSU in order to provide English directions that make sense.

I got stuck at this point. But I know why. Win7 x64 bit system and I can only install signed drivers! None of these drivers have a digital signature.
I shall go dig out an old XP system I have and see how it goes.
Are we absolutely certain that regular windows drivers will not do for this process?
And has anyone rooted one of theses yet? And has anyone worked out how people can move application data (Maps for Navfree I am thinking of) from the internal memory to an SD Card?
Many thanks for your info on this.
Des. . .
If you go into the settings you can select 'allow unsigned drivers' , or go through the device manager and do the driver that way, or just click 'continue anyway' I have w7x64 and this worked fine....
I've not rooted it yet. But I don't need to now I have phone calls.
It lets me install to SD card as in the settings on the lab I selected sd card as my main storage point...there are a few apps however that wont flag up the option.
I hope some of the above helps.
Hi,
I did find This topic in my travels as it seemed that all the drivers in the download you mentioned were for "Lenovo" this or that.
For the moment I have that installed and the device flashes to a point and then seems to stop...
Or maybe I'm impatient..
Des. . .
Hi,
Ahhh... Sneaky tablet..
So, when plugging in the USB I noticed that it would "semi-start and show a power/charge indicator. This would disappear after a minute and all would go dark. So whilst I thought the tablet was off, it wasn't. I thought about this for a moment and then pressed and held the power button. That did turn it off for real.
I also noticed that the ROM updated also became much more agitated and active, with a light green bar at the bottom actually seeming to do the ROM update.
And yes, with the driver I linked to and really powering off once plugged in and then clicking the "Update ROM" button all was updated.
Can I just confirm, does your Lenovo have GPS as well?

That says "What month of the year the third in a row" according to google!
Bing is less cryptic: "What month in year third". So March should be the answer.

Hi Des
I am experiencing the same problem with powering the device completely off. Could you go step by step on how you are doing this? Like, at what stage are you pressing and holding the power button and for how long are you holding it for? When I tried it, the tablet just rebooted.
Thanks.
Norman
Hi,
1) Power off the tablet: no power or USB connected to the device.
2) Fire up the firmware update software on the PC, USB cable in and ready.
3) Select the ROM to update with in the software.
4) Plug in the USB cable to the tablet. At this point you should see the green battery charging image on the tablet.
5) Press power off for a couple of seconds (2-3). Tablet should now be turned off.
6) Fire up the software/ROM update on the PC.
If you see the updater flash through the first stages of the update and then seeming pause when doing the actual ROM update the tablet is on. Press power off again. You should then see the update actually loading onto the tablet. Should take about 5-10 minutes from there.
Luck...

Hi Des!
I follow your list and the tablet is rebooting every time! :crying:
I simply can't turn it off!
Any suggestion?
Thanks, Andrew
Hi,
Power it off first. When powered up press and hold the power button. Select Power off from the menu.
Get the laptop/PC ready with the image, plug the usb cable into the laptop/pc and then the tablet.
You should see the green battery icon on screen showing charge state.
When it has gone, press and hold the power again for about 2 seconds.
Then try the firmware update.
Des. . .
Hi,
Thanks for your help, but when I "press and hold the power again for about 2 second" the tablet is rebooting!
With a shorter power press i can switch the secreen on/off, but a longer press reboot it every time!
My battery icon is a big blue one, not a green one! Maybe i have a different version?
Model number: Lenovo A5500-H
Android: 4.4.2
Build number:A5500H_A442_00_025_141027_ROW
Hm?
Andrew
Hi,
All I can suggest is trial and error. It took me a a couple of goes to get it right.
But when you see that battery icon you know the device is on. Maybe a 1 second press? If I remember, you may feel a slight vibration to indicate that the tablet goes off. Soon as you feel that let go of the power button.
Mine was an A8-50 5500H but is now HV

Welcome to my tutorial !
You can find others tutorials related to the Cube i6 :

Disclamer: This process might contain ROM hacking, this is for advanced users.
Software included may be subject to copyright.
Flash your device at your own risk. Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
What you need:
Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)
2 Flash Drives (1Gb or more, and 4Gb or more)
OTG cable

What to do :
1.) Start by plugging the first usb drive (1Gb or more) into your computer, and format it to FAT32 using any formatting tool,
MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE PARTITION TABLE STYLE TO GPT, EITHER YOU WILL END UP WITH ERROR ON WINPE INSTALL
2.) Now you need to download WinPE from the drive, go to your device folder, then go into the windows folder, and download it.
Once you downloaded it, uncompress. You will find a "WinPE_XX" folder inside, take all of its content, and extract it to your freshly formatted drive.

3.) Your USB Install Drive is ready. You can plug it off and save it for later.
You now need to download a 32Bits ISO version of windows, if you already have one, it should work, if you don't, you can download it from Microsoft Website
4.) Now take your downloaded ISO, and mount it with either windows, daemon tools, PowerISO, or any Disk Image Manager.
Once mounted, you need to navigate to the X:\sources\ folder, and extract "Install.wim" anywhere on your PC. Thats the windows system we will install.
5.) Go to the drive, into your device folder, go to windows folder, and download the "Image_Recovery_Extra.zip" you can find there.
It contains recovery + Files mandatory for install (because the Windows PE we're using is hacked from Cube).
6.) Take your second USB Drive (of 4Go minimum, it needs to hold windows), and format it to NTFS Filesystem with any formatting tool.
Now you can extract the "images" folder of the previously "Image_Recovery_Extra.zip" downloaded (KEEP THE IMAGES FOLDER THIS TIME)
And also copy inside that "images" folder your previously extracted Install.wim image file.
7.) You're good to go ! You can unplug the keys from your PC, and start working on the tablet as of now !
You need to boot to BIOS settings, using "ESC" key at startup of tablet. Once there, go to SCU Settings, the bottom right square.
You need to set your primary boot to "Windows" in the boot tab, or the key won't boot. If it is already, you can exit SCU and start step 8.
If it is not, just select it, then press F10. Tablet should reboot. Press ESC again at startup, and start step 8.
8.) Now everything is straightforward: Just select "Boot from EFI File", select your USB key in the list, and go to EFI folder, then go inside BOOT folder, and select "Bootia32.efi"
The tablet should boot to a command prompt (it lags much, but we will install drivers later) and it should install windows automatically then shut down.
If install fails, update your BIOS and try again or post here for some help.
Preparation looks like this:
Working device looks like this:
9.) Now you can get rid of the installation USB keys, you only need mouse and keyboard. Fire up your tablet freshly flashed, it should boot to a chinese logo with a circle under it. it might reboot a few times, it is actually expanding filesystem and populating your win10 install. Wait until you end up in language screen. if it shuts down, put it on again if it does not automatically.
10.) Windows is ready, now follow the instructions, language, set your name, until you end up on the windows desktop. When you are here, you need to download from the drive the Driver Package for windows 10, which is located inside the driver folder, inside the windows folder of your devices folder. It sould be named "Z37XX_CPU_Chipset.zip"
Extract it on the tablet, and run the included "Setup.exe". When finished, reboot your tablet.
you can also find various driver i added for os switch and gyrometer
Congrats! You successfully Installed Windows 10!
I do not guarantee it works on every device, nor with every windows version, but it works in my installation with a regular Win10 x86 Pro.
There might be some upgrades to do, as I personnally hacked the WinPE that is available on Cube's site, with Windows 10 ADK WinPE,
so feel free to report bugs, enhancements to this method. and report cube for not doing this so far !!!
Regards,
Max.
Top! Thank you!
I had exactly the same issue and want to fix it this weekend. My I6 arrived on Thursday. Now I follow your instructions to update to Windows 10.
Hi, glad it is helping! tell me if you are having issues, or if some steps aren't detailed! i'll upload some photos later. if you need something for this tablet feel free to ask

Hey Max,
now I have the first problem.
On my Windows 10 Image I do not have any install.wim file. There is only a install.esd (about 2GB) file in the \sources\ folder. But this file is not possible to extract with 7zip. The only *.wim file in the directory is the boot.wim. What have I to do?

Alright, i don't know what ISO of windows 10 you have, but i found a tutorial on how to convert esd to WIM, so no worries (http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-easily-convert-install-esd-to-install-wim/) furthermore, i would recommend using PowerISO for extracting the file, as i'm not aware of how to extract from ISO with 7zip
Okay, thank you. With this it works
But I have some error when I boot the WinPE on step 8. I get the message: "The boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors" File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD Error code: 0xc000000f""
On this point the tablet do not recognize any keyboard command.

What is that \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD you are trying to boot from ?
You should select \EFI\Boot\bootia32.efi. If it does not work make sure your BIOS is at version 206 (its my case, so i guess it can be this) and if not, upgrade it with the provided tutorial, maybe you'll have more luck with that ? You can check its version on android by going to device info in settings and check IFW Version.
EDIT: The WinPE media might be trying to access your hard drive EFI folder to use its BCD configuration, check that too, maybe you can format that EFI partition before booting to winpe ?*
EDIT2: Check BCD integrity maybe, 262 144 bits is what it weights on my side

I do not know, why it says \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD. I selected the correct .efi-file.
But I think my tab is now gone. I have try the bios update from 203 to your 206. It have flash completed to 100% and turns the tablet off. I wait a few minutes and then I try to turn it on again for another try to install Windows 10. But it will not turn on again. It does also not recognize the charger anymore. I think I brick the i6 with the 206 Bios. What a bother!

Ok, if the process went 100%, then there is a high probability it is not bricked.
Remember that still, you can boot using DnX mode holding power and volume +.
What do you mean by "it does not recognize the charger" ? when you plug it, the charging led does not light up ?
Thats very odd. because its not controlled by bios but only hardware derivation I guess.
please keep me tuned in on that !!
Edit: FYI I used the exact same BIOS on my model, which is a i632GB15378650186.

DnX mode does also not work. And yes i mean, that the LED does not light up at all.
My model is i632GB15224920293. I think it is an older one.

Wow. You mean there are older model with other BIOS System ?
I'm so unhappy to hear your story. I hope i can help to fix it !
Whatsoever, how can any BIOS accept flashing itself if its not corresponding ?
Good thing you point out there, but c'mon, how can your tablet be bricked if the process went OK...
Maybe you can contact cube about it ? Maybe if you hold power long enough it will turn off ?
Once the tablet did this to me, had to hold power 10s to get it back off !
EDIT: good thing I remember is that i had it shipped with 205 BIOS, so i guess you're right and its an older model you have. Still, I have spare BIOS Firmware 204 that I flashed for testing purposes that also worked flawlessly !
EDIT2: found that there might be tons of differents models like raspberry pi, look this one does not match with any of ours : http://winphonetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/cube.jpg or maybe it is just a serial number generated from the # produced or the current date of prod ?

Yes, I think you are right, that the last numbers are any kind of a serial number. Do you have another Bios file? On the web I found only the 201. I can try to buy an ISP programmer and reflash the tablet.
And I have tried different buttons combinations on hold in hope that the tablet wake up again. But still nothing

Thats some freaking bad news ...
I uploaded 204 BIOS to the drive... cheers, fingers crossed.
It's a great news that the I6 Air is possible to upgrade to Win10 now. But before taking action, I have one question to clarify. After the upgrading, is the Android system still there and can switch over freely as before?

Yeah, windows fill the partition space that is already configured, it means even if you resized your android to a 8 Gigs partition, the windows will not erase it !
For the switching process, it is even better because YOU install the switcher, and configure it the way you want (dektop shortcut, taskbar button, ...)
I can bring windows screenshots on purpose if needed

Thanks for clarification, another question, how about the system activation? Will the system become activated automatically?
And moreover, the drive folder you provided has no more WinPE available. Please check.
Thanks again.

Hi, bad manipulation yesterday led me to delete archive from drive, but its uploading again !
I tried again the tutorial because of the problem of " scharrrfi" to check if its not broken in any manner, and it worked flawlessly !
Furthermore, the system is yours, and therefore, is not activated by default, it asks for a serial key !
Files should be on the drive later today
EDIT: The files are up on the cloud !
Now I wait for my ISP programmer. But I know, why I get first the message "The boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors" File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD Error code: 0xc000000f"". I found the solution in another forum. There was a problem with the formatting of my USB stick. I have to format it with an partitioning tool to GPT. And then it should work.
If I know this before, I have not to try to flash the bios...

Yeah, I admit that was kind of my fault telling you that upgrading your bios would change anything in your boot configuration, i'm so sorry
Let's hope this will work, still hope, windows 10 will make its way to your tablet no worries !
After some days of using it i report some glitches though:
Orientation sometimes get rekt, i dont know why but you have to set it manually...
Also the tablet is not as responsive as it is on android, but I guess power consumption is higher on windows, as it heats much more !
Sometimes i touch the part near the lens and it feels really hot !
Btw when on low battery, the power saver settings got me doubling my battery time, which is nice !
And on idle, locked, the battery charge way faster than on android.
Hi I have an other error - if I boot with the bootia file I got short 4 error messages: UEFILINUX ERROR [uefi_get_battery_status:121] Failed to get battery status - und error 160, 121 again and 149, all error with the battery. I haved update the firmware from 201 to 206. The battery is over 90% full in windows. Have you an idea whats wrong?
