Hello,
I was searching the forums, but didn't find anything about this tablet...
Recently I have bought a broken Tablet: Leader Tab R70
CPU: Rockchip 2818A 600MHz
RAM memory: 256MB
ROM memory: 2GB
Screen: 7' 800x480 (WVGA)
OS: Android 2.1 Eclair .
I was hoping I would be able to revive it, but it seems it's not that simple.
The tablet turns on, I can see the droid icon on the left top side of the screen, and then a sign saying "Android_", and that's it.
When I plug it to the PC nothing happens, the PC doesn't see the tablet (I have tried it on two Windows 7 x64 machines), though it seems it does get the charge, as it turns on (same thing on both USB ports). Since the PC won't see it I am unable to flash it by RKAndroidBatchUpgrade (or anything else)
Is there any other way (like by booting a ROM/flash image from SD card) to flash it? Is there a hardware way? (I was able to open the case, didn't find anything magical inside). Is there a way to reset it? Is there a CM somewhere capable of running on this tablet?
I'd appreciate ANY help
Regards
I've been messing with the new ASUS T100 Transformer T100TA and found a few boot key combinations through trial and error. I hope someone else can make use of them.
Hold the listed key while powering on the tablet.
ESC: Boot device selection menu
DEL: Boot into BIOS Setup (same as F2)
F2: Boot into BIOS Setup
F9: Boot into windows recovery mode
F12: Not sure what this is, it briefly flashes "Launching FFU.efi" then print "Main Start" and sits there
Vol Down: Boot Device Selection Menu
I tried each button on the top row of the keyboard plus: tab, alt, ctrl,fn, windows. In case anyone want to try other stuff.
blank..
not sure why but im drawing a blank here.
I cant get any bios options regardless of holding escape or f2 or delete while powering up my t100
cant figure out why?
And a question - does the bios look like any other or is it just like the "additional options page" you get when booting into recovery options, kinda like a win8 boot screen with efi option or restore etc.
i assumed i would see a proper bios but i just cant seem to get any key to do a thing - it just boots normally, i do have the latest 220 bios.
Thanks.

With F2 you should see a normal bios screen.
My guess is that you are doing a shutdown from in win 8, then turning on with the F2 key pressed.
Try doing a restart from in Win 8 and start holding F2 as soon as the screen goes blank.
By default win8 has "fast boot" enabled, which means it doesn't do a proper boot from bios when you turn of after a "shutdown" from in win8
Hope that helps.

Very useful. Thanks for those.
Holding Vol Up with power can help when it doesn't want to boot too IIRC.
Solving problem
Faced with the same problem after regular Windows 8.1 update.
Really thanks for advise given above.
To finally solve the problem just reset bios settings to default.
T100 Windows 10 Evaluation
In my zeal to explore the capabilities of my new T100TAF, I tried to install the Windows 10 Evaluation 10041. It kind of installed OK at first but now I have no WiFi and it will not allow me to do anything as the screen flashes and never settles down. I have tried to boot into retsore and reset it but I get errors. Any ideas?
boot from USB Asus t100ta
Hi everyone
A few days ago I was trying to install the preview of windows 10 on my Asus t100ta but looks like that system wasn't compatible with some software of the PC and I wanted to do the factory reset by pressing F9, when it was trying to restore I got a message saying "winload.efi is missing" then I tried to boot with a USB but doesn't work, I tried disabling the security boot. And nothing works. If someone please can help I have 4 days trying with none results :crying:
That is because the Asus T100 Tablet has an android based Windows 8/8.1 installed. I know that somewhere I had found information on downloading the Android based Windows as well as creating an installation USB of the Android based Windows. The Asus T100TA I have came with the x86 (32-bit) but, has an x64 based architecture allowing for the Android Windows x64 (64-bit) to be installed. To add, the tablet can have Android Apps installed in it as well. Think of it as a big Android phone (of course, you can't make calls unless you have something like Skype LOL!). I hope this helps.
UEFI allows 32 bit O.S's ONLY.

android or not, this is windows 8.1, it is NOT possible to (at this writing) to install a 64 bit based O.S. on this t100ta. while it does contain the architecture, the killer is the UEFI which is only 32 bit capable.
On my Asus Transformer T100 Chi, I have found that Volume Up plus power key boots you into the recovery menu. This also works on Lenovo tablets.
BTW, I have never heard of "Android based Windows". That seems like an oxymoron to me

Agrred, Android based windows, like wut. One is made by google and the other by microsoft. Not to mention all C++, c# and DOS code is directly incompatible with arm (what andorid uses). I mean yes some android phones are 64 bit and stuff but thats arm64 NOT the AMD64 standard that desktops and laptops use. The 32 bit x86 standard that laptops use is called i386 and was developed by intel. amd64 was developed by amd then purchased by intel who license amd to still use it. This is exactly why only Intel and AMD make desktop and laptop processors.
Companies like snapdragon simply take ARM chip designs and change them into their own processor, but its still an ARM based processor.
Two entirely different architectures, one designed for low power, standby , small screens and apps, the other for MAJOR general purpose use.
Take my word on this, the two will never merge
It's a true that ARM chip is an essentially simplified AMD CPU chip developed for portable devices such as smart phones, tablets etc. where performance requirements aren't so high and lower power consumption is important. I also understand, that apps and executable or install files for Windows PC are not compatibile for Windows ARM platform because of insufficient capability.
But how is possible, that ASUS T100TA with (supposedly) "ARM" CPU chip is seamlessly able to run with full featured Windows 10 PRO (for PC)... ?

ARM is essentially not a simplified AMD cpu, other than both starting with the letter 'A' the similarity stops. One is CISC architecture the other is RISC. There's no single intersection between the two, AMD has not been involved with the development of the architecture.
The ASUS T100 uses an Intel atom cpu. which is an 64 bit x86 core from Intel. (but since the T100 only has a 32bit UEFI, it's impossible to run a 64bit OS).
The T100 is not a PC, since it's using SDIO for internal communication instead of PCIE, making it more a tablet than a PC, this is why it's a bother getting linux to work on the device, since SDIO support is rather experimental and immature.
Windows 10 (and 8) is suited to run on x86 cpu's with SDIO connecting everything else.
Android on the other hand is running a modified Linux kernel making it having to do exactly nothing with windows, and the other way around.
Windows 10 is able to run on the arm architecture btw, look at the surface rt with the tegra, and there should also be a port able to run on the raspberry pi.
(Addressing a few incorrect statements found in this thread.)
The T100TA is not Android based. It will accept a Windows 10 32 bit upgrade. Don't try and boot from Windows 10 media. Run 8.1 and run the setup.exe program to start the upgrade. I upgraded my 32 GB system to 10 without problems.
It will run a 64 bit OS, but requires bootia32.efi putting in the \EFI\boot folder. There are various versions of bootia32.efi, some of which do not work.
i have asus t100ta ang i change my hardisk ang i want to install windows 10 can some help

were you able to instal windows 10 64bit on T100-TAF successfully ?
because when I try to install it says my CPU does not support 64 bit although when I checked on intel website its 64bit CPU but I guess the EFI for boot loader is only 32 bit !
can you explain how I can install 64bit on mine ?
Thank you!
I was trying to boot my ASUS T101HA from a USB disk, but all I found said to press F2 for the BIOS, which didn't work (probably because secure boot). Windows 10 64-bit was not starting up, so I could not start the restore from there.
Nobody said I could use the Esc key to choose the boot disk, but it worked!
ASUS T100 TA (Recovery or Reset) F9/Power
If anyone is interested... For ASUS Transformer T100 TA Win 10: While holding down F9 key, Press & Hold down the Power key until "Wait a minute" shows up: This Boots into Windows recovery mode with options to completely Reset to factory or Refresh. Do not need Password. I had forgotten mine & so had my daughter on hers...or more likely it's a flaw in the system or crap update...I do see a lot of requests on line looking for ways to reset the password on this "Laplet", & F9/Power was the only method that worked on both. In 20 years of using computers; I had never forgotten my passwords or had she. I spent hours searching for a work-around, hence the reason for me posting this here to help out anyone else. Sláinte :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for sharing! The volume down + power also works with Surface Pro 4 tablet.
Thank you, Hold power and volume up then go to Enter BIOS, then disable the Boot Priority, and re-install your windows 10 again, if you want.
OK...First I have a surface RT.. It is a colleges tablet as I am a network admin at a telecom company..
I have never seen anything other than the surface logo with no "spinning wheel"
I have tried the 3 reboots, booting normally on the 4th...volume up and power for days .....the keyboard boot options (backspace, win key +everything, F8, F11 for the hell of it..) I tried holding down in different sequences every possible combination with power, volume up/down and the windows soft key (onthe tablet)
I have created USB's with a kingston 16GB, a sandisk 8GB, sandisk cruzer 16GB, a USB3 128GB, and a micro 32GB card in a USB adapter. I extrated 2 different zip files to them all after formatting fat32, using diskpart to make the part active. both oft these compressed files were from microsoft that I downloaded after registering the device.
I tried formatting the sticks with a USB format tool as opposed to win 8. I tried 2 other compressed recovery images I found elsewhere. Furthermore I I attempted 2 different ISO files and 2 different IMG fliles using rufus, usbit, and universal USB installer...both 8.0 and 8.1 recovery images/ISO's/ZIPS. At first I observed the access light on the USB Drives blink once right after booting but now no light at all...for the hell of it I even tried to connect it to a win 8.1 machine via 2 different USB-USB cables I had.
Please advise if there are any other options?? and do you want me to post the video of me smashing this POS in this thread?
thank you for your time...
Just to make sure, the bootable USB drives were GPT partition scheme formatted, right?
Go to a Microsoft store. Seems like a hardware defect if you cannot boot off of a USB stick.
Ok no expert here. I just bought a used SP2 I5-4300u and downloaded Ms recovery disk. One USB I made would not boot on the tablet.. another would only get to 70-80% quit. The last one just an old usb2 8g and it worked flawless.
I have a usb3 and it works on 3 computers at home.. it will NOT boot on this tablet where others will. So it might just be your usb nothing else.. maybe

Am in the same boat, although mine is the surface pro 2. wont boot from any usb device I have tested the usb stick on other surfaces and it boots those. when the surface is working it see the usb stick and allows me to select it to boot from but once it reboots it just skips the usb stick and boots the int hdd
Same Thing

I have a Surface RT running both 8 & 8.1 and it does the same as yours with the ignoring of the boot selection.
Has anyone found a fix to this yet?
-FU
Bootloader, secure boot violation?
