Need firmware for a X7 MP5 handheld game console - General Questions and Answers

Hello peeps I'm looking for the firmware package for my X7 Game Player MP5. I can flash the console using "Actions Multimedia Product Tool v.2.07" which you can download from the internet. I also know how to start up in the boot-modus to flash the device. Please help me with the right firmware package.

Hi folks, unfortunely my X7 Portable Multimedia Player MP5 is still bricked. When I insert a Micro-SD-card the
console freezes and from that point I can't navigate with the directional buttons anymore...
So the cursor doesn't react. Ofcourse I had formatted the external storage card in a xeFAT file system.
Also tried a few other Micro-SD-card's, still with the same result sadly.
Hopefully some of you peeps can help me out with the right firmware package for the X7 Portable
Multimedia Player MP5 in a "*.fw" extension file format

Hello sir, did you manage to get the firmware? I have the same device.

No sadly not have found the proper firmware for this gaming device...
So now I'm done with it, I'll opening up the console and will use most parts like the buttons
and directional buttons and the screen which works fine. With a Ras[berry Pi Zero as base console,
I'll connect the parts of the X7 Portable Multimedia Player MP5 and will let make a 3D printed case
for it. Hopefully it works fine with Emulation station software

Can i restart the console? It stays on the first image and does not advance.
I need your help, thanks

it's like powkiddy j6 if i see how it looks

I had the same issue. I loaded stuff onto the microsd and it would lock up on the very first screen. However when I take the sd card out and power it on the handheld would go through the whole flash and go to the main screen. It seems silly to have to load the sd card in after you are already on. I'm gifting this to a kid and I don't see him doing all those steps.

Did some fooling around with the handheld. When you format the card through the system it turns the whole card to a 2gb FAT and I assume the card being a 32gb don't like that so when you reboot it freezes on boot up. But when I take the card and partition it to 4gb FAT the damn thing boots up fine.

Hey guys it so happens that I have one normal console (no problem with the firmware) but it's the x7 plus. It may still work, but i don't know how to extract the firmware.

Hello, can someone make an image for me in the sd card file from inside the X12 / X12 Plus 5 inch Classic Games Handheld console? it would be great. Regards.

it came to my hands a goclever android netbook I102 used from one of my cousins thats stuck on a never ending loop with the android/goclever logo when it starts. I tried to do the option this post gives ( and ty in advance for that ) because i couldnt find anything else out there on the internet. But my problem still persists, i tried to use both an sd card and a usb pen and nothing changed. Does anyone know what else can be done to boot the netbook? or reinstall the android system? It doesnt allow the netbook to even start so theres nothing much i can do, im not an expert on the matter but i wanted to at least see if there was a way to salvage the device. If not is going on a one way trip to the trash.
I've also tried to look for the download of the android system for the goclever netbook but couldnt find any.
Any help would be much apreciated Thanks.

do you use an usb hub to connect your keyboard and mouse? strange try another keyboard or mouse . try to plug before you power on your tablet
Hello, I'm in need of the drivers of this model. I tried to click the site you have given here but it won't connect. It seems the web site is no more. Could you please share another site where I can get these drivers. I can no longer find the drivers on the official site. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. This is a great help for a backup driver. On the other hand I did found another way to backup my drivers. the software name is "double driver". It works well, backing up and restoring pc drivers. I have just a clean install of Windows 10 and restoring the drivers with this software. Thanks again.
Two questions
Hi and thanks. I have two very important questions:
1-does this tablet have bios setup? In other words, can I setup a legacy boot to install windows 10 from USB?
2- when formatting to install new windows, will Android be removed too? If no, is there any way to completely format the disk and install only a new windows?

1. Hello, to enter in bios setup, you need a USB keyboard and a 2 or 3 ports USB hub with micro USB to be connected at the tablet. You turn on the tablet and while the display turns on with its chuwi logo, you must in time press the exit key on the keyboard. With that, it will enter on its bios mode.
2. In my case, my chuwi v10hd version, I only have the windows 8.1 installed and updated it to Windows 10. After that I decided to have a clean install to Windows 10. I made a bootable USB by using Rufus, converting iso image of Windows 10 to uefi bootable usb image. That's my case. In your question, if you're going to update windows to version 10, I think windows will overwrite the boot loader and booting to Android will not be possible. I think the android partition will remain intact if you will not format it. If you want to install only windows 10, it will be much easier. You can delete all partitions that is, windows and android and install Windows 10. Windows will take care the rest of the formatting and installation. This is done by custom install on Windows 10 installation. A suggestion, if you want a clean install, you have to backup your drivers and restore them after clean install. I used double driver for backup and restore. Another is have a copy of your serial number of Windows 10. Hope this can be a help.
desperately in search of a Bios
Hi,
may somebody has a Bios and the right tool for me to flash my Chuwi V10HD 3G.
I locked my self out of the bios configuration with disabling the USB keyboard support in the bios,
may somebody has another way to reset the bios without opening the Tablet.
I tried a lot of things already, but nothing helps.
But the Windows is still working, but indeed no USB support in Windows after I accidentally disabled it in Bios.
Thanks a lot for any help.

[GUIDE][Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)] How to install Windows 10 !

Welcome to my tutorial !
You can find others tutorials related to the Cube i6 :
Update your EFI BIOS
Install Android 4.4.4 (Stock & RemixOS)
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
USB Hub (3 Ports recommended)
WinPE for Win10 (Downloadable on my drive)
Win10 32 bits ISO (link in tutorial)
THIS IS THE LINK I'M REFFERING TO WHEN SAYING "THE DRIVE"
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8YPw4HjmqNCZktOZy1OTEN2ZVE&usp=sharing
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.
Heres what looks like the root of your key:
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?

Windows is probably the main/primary OS. If getting Android to boot is somewhat linked to the existence of Windows, then you might not be able to remove it. That's probably why no one did that yet.
Edit: I found this http://forum.chuwi.com/thread-1848-1-1.html
Maybe you can give it a try. Remember that you do it at your own risks.
Hi and thanks for your replies, no i dont want to take risks, as i am no expert.
the next question is
Can i show more space on android? the 46Gbs taken by windows? do i only get 9Gb of it on android ??

What you're trying to do is getting more space under Android.
That won't go without repartitioning. It's another task for the expert. Although you should be able to access (read) windows partition in Android if you use an app that can mount NTFS drivers in Android system.
Bigger issue. I just tried to reset from window to the if Android disappears. The tablet is stuck at some boot situation. Anyway to solve this plz?

Hi @METAL66 are you still stuck?
I don't have a guaranteed solution (I have original not "Pro") for you but the following helped me get Android working again when it got stuck at the Intel Inside logo.
This tablet is a x86-64 PC, and boots into a UEFI BIOS first.
1. If you don't have the Chuwi keyboard for this tablet, you can use an OTG (on the go) cable to connect a regular PC keyboard to it. I used a USB hub to allow me to connect a USB drive at the same time:
Code:
[Tablet] -- (OTG) -- [USB hub] -- [keyboard]
[USB storage]--------------------/
With the keyboard attached, you can press Del or Esc (a few times) during bootup to enter the BIOS config.
In there you can change things like whether to show a "quiet" boot or not. I turned it off so I see the AMI BIOS info when it first boots.
2. The official Chuwi Web site has self-contained recovery image installers (WinPE based).
This is the tutorial I used to recover Android while preserving Windows 10.
http -- forum.chuwi.com / thread-1283-1-1.html
Among the available recovery images is one that installs Android and causes Windows to be "lost"
http -- forum.chuwi.com / thread-1210-1-1.html
I'm not sure if the WinPE instance they distribute has full control over the partitions (presumably it at least has software on it to allow access to the Android partitions to repair the boot files write the image), but if so, maybe you can use it to delete the Windows Partitions and reclaim the space for use by Android.
