Sunchip CX-W8 (Z3735F)

[ravideep]

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

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

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.

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?

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

Any word on the new bios ?

It would be also great if the new bios for W8 (dual boot one) would bring more settings, just like cx-w8 has.

I think there is quite a danger of people flashing Suntech bIOS on Artway box and vice versa.. that MIGHT brick them


Can someone with EITHER box tell me how it is for Steam streaming.. I sold my box and now might want a couple of them if they stream well.

Thanks. dinosauria. after I will try it. But the bios in my cx-w8 is 64bit bios (updated). Is it ok to do same operation?

Anyone has any ideas what that microUSB port is for ??
I tried powering up with a powersupply and using an otg cable. Nothing works..


Also, is anyone experiencing video skipping when watching youtube ? I get it while having hardware acceleration on, but when i turn it off, it plays perfectly fine.
I'm using opera 29

i can use the otg cable to connect the keyboard and mouse under win 8.1 pro x86

Thanks a lot!

I installed 64bit bios but now I can't get Windows installed. 32bit wont boot and 64bit gives me ACPI_BOOT_ERROR bluescreen, what am I doing wrong.
