I have solved this problem http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...ipo-x7s-w8-etc

Here is the solution to reinstall or upgrade dual boot

[dinosauria]

I dumped my W8 (American Megatrend bios) before it bricked. I think it is W8_DOS_2.2B.

I Spoke with one of Chinese re seller today and they confirmed that W8 will be getting a new firmware update by end of this week. Once I get more information I will definitely share with you guys.

Methanoid - I tried to recover with mini tool but was unsuccessful. But I am trying some of other methods to be back on dual boot again.

dinosauria - I didn't try that as I know both are different Bios. My W8 says the current version of bios are W8_DOS_2.2B. (picture attached) do someone has copy of these bios?

[dinosauria]

Don't update 64bit bios (Insyde) if your W8 use American Megatrend bios. It will bricked.

I asked Geekbuying to release American Megatrend bios but still does not now.

[Methanoid]

Undelete the partition or do you mean you were silly enough to write shedloads of extra data over it afterwards ????

I have bought W8 dual boot but have accidentally deleted Android partition hence android is not booting up. I would be grateful if some body will help me on my these queries

1. Can I flash that with 64bit Bios as currently it is American Megatrend bios 32bit for windows and 64bit for android (I guess)?
2. Does any one have instructions on how to reinstall both windows and android as dual boot. Kind of fresh installation with instructions?
3. I tried couple of x86 android 4.4.2 to run and install from usb. it work somehow but doesn't support wifi, bluetooth, google play store so did anybody tried anything like this?

many thanks for help

Thank you, Zirowe.

I can not success because my BIOS already updated to 64bit.

Please tell me for 64bit key combination.

I try to install OS X and I bought new W8 but it does not have 64bit BIOS.

Same structure.



Any news on any openelec ports in progress?
I installed it today on the w8, but there was no sound, no wifi, no 24p, etc..

Geekbuying released Windows 8.1 activation method for W8.

How to reset bios ? Please tell me.
I also set HDMI wrong, nothing on the monitor but PC is alive.
I already update 64bit bios.

As I said, I looked at pictures of the bios found online and counted to it.
You should use a flash drive with a status led, so you know when ypu are in the boot menu.
This is for the 32 bios.
Start up the pc, start pushing ESC button till the led on the flash drive is always on (about 1-2 secs after the boot).
Then 1 down, 2 times to the right, then hit enter, so now you should be in the bios.
4 times to the right will get you to the exit option, then 3 times down to be on the load optimal defaults option, hit enter twice to load this option, then 3 time up, twice enter to save and exit settings, and you should be done.



Other question: my bios, the 32 bit one, does not have an overclock option, turbo is on.
My cpu is set to 1333mhz, and the max it goes on full operation is 1.59ghz.
How overclock it to 1.89ghz, to achieve 2.10ghz, if there is no option for it in the bios?

Hi, I just received today my wintel w8 mini pc.
I've tried to change the gpu settings in the bios, but unfortunately I made some wrong moves and now the device does not have any video over hdmi on my lcd tv..

Ok, after fiddling around with it for a half day I was able to reset bio by going into it blindly and reloading the presets, now my w8 is operational again.
I felt lucky, so why not try the 64 bios?!
It installed normaly, then I was able to go back to 32 bios with no problem.
Then I have repartitioned the drive and fresh installed a windows 8.1 pro.

Has anyone tried to install openelec?
