@ All : Uploaded new version, now sets chmod 755 for hw_config.sh, and uses a sh script to mount and unmount rw, seems to be better this way , also need testers from other devices
i have problems :/ i press pull and sucessfully pulled then i press edit and i got message java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\temp.sh and then opens empty editor. backup map is empty. do i have to unzip to a particular place?

Did you press pull first right ?, so it's really weird, try with the new one, and be sure that your device it's connected with debugging mode on, try open adb, and write adb start-server
yes i did.i have debugging mode on and usb storage on.i tried the new one with sleep 3. just one think where do i need to unzip those files? in Android SDK/tools or i can have it on my desktop.

EDIT: Wait what's your OS?
ok i tried with usb storage off, unzipet on desktop in xxxx folder. i start the Hw_Config Editor.jar press pull wait for message press ok. check in C:\ for those 2 files and they arent there. then press edit en same message for mising file. i dont know what is wrong maybe im too dumy for this hehe

o just for those who have antivirus protection turn it off before unpack zip an using the program.
D4rKn3sSyS, you really are making things easier for us.

Category: Trojan
Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.

I ignored it and allowed your awesome program to run. You might want to edit the first post to say that antivirus may give a false positive.
EDIT: For the extremely paranoid out there (D4rKn3sSyS is the man! Why doubt his program?), I ran the program through VirusTotal. RESULT: 5/ 42 (11.9%) returned "infected".
Works fine on mine, win 7 x64/x10 mini pro, using Avast free, no virus warning.

I downloaded release_Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016020201_Alpha_EFI.zip from the Official Website. Opened the tool inside, and copied the files into my USB 3.0 flash drive using it. Write speeds are higher than 20MB/s. I have a UEFI BIOS. I get the same thing on both Resilient mode and Guest mode. I selected Resilient mode on first launch and the system went through the first launch steps.
When you get to the boot choice of RemixOS remove 'quiet' from the line when TAB and then 'e' for editing it, to show what's going on @ boot time.
most time we solve this by deleting recreating data.img
I hope that helps you

I dont know how to do that. I cant seem to be able to open the ISO that was in the zip file I downloaded. However, I formatted my flashdrive and used the included tool to reinstall Remix OS. It didnt help.
on the edit line you removed 'quiet' from, put 'DEBUG=1' or just put the '1' on the DEBUG= if it's showing ? I forget if it is but it will go through like before but this time will stop twice where you have to type 'exit' for it to proceed (twice-I repeat!) maybe that'll help? or @imadlatch is more than likely correct?

Its look like its because of your nvdia GPU isssue , don't worry we have solution for this
Select resident mode , don't press enter , press tab you will get into edit mode.
At the end after space write this line - " nomodeset vga = 0x34C "

Thank you, It definitely did help. However the resolution is all wonky now. I have a 1080p screen. The images are all grainy and stretched out. Also, i can see the linux prompt blinking in the background. Anything I type on the keyboard will be entered there. Hence, if i type "reboot" and hit enter, the system will reboot.
I also tried the workarounds in this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemixOS/comments/42wylw/any_way_to_run_with_nvidia_gpu/czenutg
But none of them helped either. I get the same issues; the poor resolution and the blinking prompt.

I don't know the blinking error solution , my friend also have that same problem , but there is a easy solution for resolution -
Root remix os , open any rooted browser , go to system folder , then open build.prop , edit the file , just add a line at the end
"ro.sf.lcd_density=150"
Write that line without quote , save build.prop , and change the number between 140 to 210 , see which one looks better on your monitor , have fun exploring remix ☺
I recently ordered an Onda obook10 dual booting tablet (Android 5.1 +Win10) from GearBest, and received it a week (and a half) ago. It is the V5 version (9th and 10th digits of S/N). Booted into Android at first, swiped around a little, and then left it alone for when I was free. Day before, I booted into Windows, and seeing that an account was already set up, hit the factory reset option (Options: remove all personal files, normal wipe (not thorough)). It rebooted, said it was resetting, then got stuck at 5% for a half hour. I then did a hard reboot, and it starting resetting again. I repeated this a few times, with different waiting periods, but it always got stuck at 5%. I wanted to see what was going on, so I opened the OS selector menu and tried to boot into Android, but that put the device into a bootloop, and it's stayed that way since. I downloaded the recovery WinPE from their website, and tried running it; all went well until the last step (installing the install.wim file), which succeeded, but when the batch file tried to set the boot options/flags, it threw an error about not being able to access D:, and failed. Tried making the recovery USB and installing multiple times, but it failed every time. I then tried Gandalf's WinPE image, which booted, and tried using imagex to install the .wim file to C: manually, as detailed here. This failed too.
I'm at my wits' end, honestly. I have no idea what else to try. There's another WinPE file available for download, but it's dated only a couple of weeks after the one I already have, so I'm hesitant to download it if there's any other option (I have very low bandwidth, it would take me at least two days). Also, it's hosted on Baidu, and the download times out after about an hour, and cannot resume. If anyone could give me any ideas, or point me towards a guide I haven't found yet (I've read all the relevant ones I could find on the Onda forums, but please post them anyway if you think they would be helpful), that would be great.
What would be perfect is if someone could upload, or point me toward a system dump/partition clone of at least the Windows partition and boot partition; I have the tools needed to flash those.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I managed to fix this a while ago, and have put the procedure somewhere in this thread, but since people keep popping up every now and then asking for it, I'm going to put this here so it's easier to find. Copied from later in the thread, here, and modified to be more general:
This uses slightly modified commands from the Onda firmware install script, and will result in a COMPLETE WIPE and reinstall of Windows - all the files on the Windows partition will be lost. This SHOULD work for anyone whose Android is working but Windows isn't, but I can't guarantee that. I can't even guarantee that this will work (though I am pretty sure it will) - I have not tested it completely. If you can, you should make a backup of anything files on the internal storage, just in case. As always, read the whole procedure before starting.
NOTE: If your Android isn't working, you need to install that first - get the Android file from the Onda Baidu page (look for the one for OBOOK 10 (not SE), with the appropriate V1, V2, V3, V5, or V7 code - you can find your code by checking the serial no. on the back of your device, the 9th and 10th characters), and follow the instructions in the document included in the zip - they are pretty straightforward, but you'll have to use Google Translate, as they're in Chinese. This MUST be done before the Windows procedure, because the Android installer wipes the entire disk.
If you want, you can make the procedure easier for yourself and save all the commands below to a text file, put it in the root folder of the USB before booting, and open it in Notepad by using:
Code:
notepad D:\textfile.txt
Or whatever name you give it. That way, you can copy paste them all easily.
Boot into the Windows installer, and when the command window appears, press Ctrl-C. After a few seconds, it will ask you if you want to terminate batch job, type 'y' and press enter. You now have a command prompt to work with.
You have to delete your Windows partitions first. The below partition numbers should be correct, but you should make sure first by running "list partition" and checking if it corresponds with the last 3 partitions, which should be your Windows partitions - their sizes are usually 128 MB, 35 GB, and around 800-1024 MB, and their types are Reserved, Primary, and Recovery (DO NOT delete the Primary partition at the beginning of the disk). DO NOT delete the Unknown partitions - those are Android's.
Code:
diskpart
sel disk 0
sel partition 14
delete partition
sel partition 13
delete partition
sel partition 12
delete partition
Your Windows partitions are now completely gone, so you'll have to recreate them first.
Change directory to the images folder.
Code:
cd D:\images
Get filesizes of .wim files to create partitions accordingly:
Code:
for %I in (Install.wim) do set INSTALL_SIZE=%~zI
set /a INSTALL_SIZE_MB=%INSTALL_SIZE:~0,-6%
for %I in (Winre.wim) do set RE_SIZE=%~zI
set /a RE_SIZE_MB=%RE_SIZE:~0,-6%
if %RE_SIZE_MB% LSS 430 (set /a RE_SIZE_MB=480
) else (
if %RE_SIZE_MB% GEQ 430 (
if %RE_SIZE_MB% LSS 680 (
set /a RE_SIZE_MB=%RE_SIZE_MB%+320
) else (
set /a RE_SIZE_MB=%RE_SIZE_MB%+1024
)
) )
Make sure to preserve all the spaces and brackets in the above code.
Enter diskpart, run the following:
Code:
sel disk 0
create partition msr size=128
create partition primary
shrink minimum=%RE_SIZE_MB%
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows"
assign letter="W"
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
assign letter="R"
set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
You should now have 14 partitions when you do "list partition".
Exit diskpart.
Now for the actual installation:
Code:
md w:\recycler
md R:\recovery\windowsre
DISM /Apply-Image /ImageFile:"D:\images\Install.wim" /ApplyDir:w: /Index:1 /Compact /ScratchDir:w:\recycler
xcopy D:\images\Winre.wim r:\recovery\windowsre /y
Create boot entry:
Code:
bcdboot w:\WINDOWS
If that doesn't work, then:
w:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\BCDBOOT w:\WINDOWS
Set recovery environment:
Code:
w:\windows\system32\reagentc.exe /SetREImage /Path R:\recovery\windowsre /target w:\windows
And that's it! You should have both OSes operational now.
Update: I've managed to fix this problem. However, since the procedure is lengthy, and there doesn't seem to be anybody who needs a solution, I'm not going to the trouble of typing it out. If anyone does need to know how to save it, post here, and I'd be happy to help out.

Inside the ROM zip, there should be a Word document with instructions in Chinese on how to flash the ROM. It should basically say something like this:
1. Extract zip contents, put them in a USB drive.
2. Plug it in, and with a keyboard attached, hold down ESC and power on the device to enter BIOS.
3. Enter the Boot Manager, and select Internal EFI.
4. It should automatically start applying the ROM after a few seconds.
Be warned that this may wipe your Windows partition - this happened to me, but that may be because my partition table was somewhat messed up. Either way, be sure to take a disk image or backup of your MSR, C drive, and recovery partition (probably the last 3 partitions on the disk).

Is the partition still there, or is that just free space you're seeing? For me, the partition was gone, with unallocated space in its place. If the partition is still there, then your job is relatively simple.
1. Make a WinPE recovery drive from another Windows machine, or just use a custom one (like Gandalf's WinPE, Google it).
2. Boot into it from the BIOS menu.
3. Load a command prompt.
4. Type "diskpart" (no quotes). Wait until you get a prompt like: DISKPART>
5. Enter the following commands:
a. select disk 0
b. list partition
c. select partition xx (where xx is the number of the Windows partition. If it's not labelled, it'll be the one about 36 gigs in size.
d. assign letter=c
e. exit
6. Now just run "bcdboot C:\Windows"
7. Reboot, and you should see Windows in your BIOS menu once more, and the button should pop up on Android as well.
If the Windows partition is not there, and it's just free space, things become more complicated. You'll need to get your hands on the Windows installer image. There is an older version on the Onda website (December 2015) that should do the job - or rather, there's a link to their Baidu account. You can find the more recent version in their account as well. The issue is that Baidu doesn't allow you to download files that large without installing their crapware. I got around it by registering an account and some URL-fu, but it's a PITA, especially if you have a slow connection. There's a Yandex mirror somewhere, but I'm not at home, so I don't have the link right now. I'll post it when I get back. EDIT: Here it is.
After you get the files, DON'T install it; it might wipe your Android install (did for me). There's an issue in their install script that made the command that hides the Android partitions from getting deleted not work. What I did was terminate the automatic install, and selectively apply the relevant portions of the script manually. You could probably do the same, but it could take you a while; took me two days and a bunch of background reading. If you're used to messing with Windows installs though, it'd probably be a cakewalk for you. I'd prepare some instructions for you, or even try and write a script myself using that one as a base, but I have exams right now, and I wouldn't have time for at least a week. If you haven't figured it out by then, just ask, and I'll do it.

I don't remember exactly what it's called, but I think it was the second menu entry - Boot <Something>. In that menu, you should see your USB drive USB EFI device or something like that listed - it might also show the manufacturer name (it showed my USB as a Sandisk). If you don't see it, you may have made a mistake when making the bootable USB - try it again while reading the instructions on Gandalf's site carefully. If you used Rufus to make the bootable, maybe try Unetbootin this time - it worked fine for me.
P.S. In case you meant boot into the file - you can't. You have to write it to a USB drive first. Instructions are on the same site you downloaded it from.

Install? Maybe, but you wouldn't have any of the necessary drivers, so touch and WiFi and stuff wouldn't work. However, you can download the drivers and try installing them, which might work, though it probably won't since they're made for Windows 10.

Depending on certain things, you may be able to just run the installer without doing anything extra. Are you able to boot into Android? Open a CMD window, and run the following commands:
1. diskpart
2. sel disk 0
3. list partition
Post the output of these here. A screenshot will also be OK.

When you extract that, you'll get a bunch of files and a DOC in Chinese explaining the procedure to make the recovery disk. Once you've made that, a WARNING before you boot into it: it will automatically open a CMD and start a delay counter, after which it will start the install automatically. Since this might break the Android side, you'll have to cancel it with Control-C in that delay period, which will give you a normal CMD to work with. You can use this to run the commands from my last post. If you want to be extra safe, also download a different WinPE recovery file (like Gandalf - actually you should download this anyway, it has some useful tools you might need later on), and boot into that instead. Depending on the output of those commands, you may be able to just run the automatic installer without worries.

You are probably in the internal EFI shell. Power off, connect a keyboard, and hold Fn+ESC while turning it on. This will get you the BIOS menu. Select Boot Manager. Normally, you'll see Android and Windows entries, and you could select one of them to boot, but in your case, you might only see Internal EFI Shell. If this is the case, follow the instructions from my earlier posts, and post the output of those commands. Depending on the result, it might be an easy fix, or a difficult fix. Hopefully, neither of you needs the difficult one, but if you do, I'll try and make a guide when I get time. In the meantime, post the output of the commands.

Just press it down for a long time, at least 10 seconds, that'll do it. For some reason it takes a really long time to force shutdown. If that doesn't work, then there might be an issue with your hardware. Also try typing the "exit" command - it should put you into the BIOS menu directly.

Until now I was testing Remix on a flash drive, most of the stuff is running great, so I think it's time to try it on the HD.
So here's the question, it's possible to install RemixOS on HD without create partition?
I want Remix to be installed in a regular folder in my HD, with an option to select it in the OS selector when PC starts, and I want it to use data.img instead of something else... Basically just like Phoenix OS.
Is this possible?
Thx..
Cheers...

1. Download the Remix OS for PC package, which contains the Remix OS for PC ROM & Installation Tool.
2. Open the Remix OS Installation Tool and follow the instructions to install Remix OS for PC on your hard disk.
3. Reboot your PC.
NOTE for UEFI boot: press special key (F12 for Dell, F9 for HP, F12 for Lenovo, Option Key for MAC) while booting to enter boot menu and ensure that Secure Boot is disabled.
4. Select Remix OS in Windows Boot Menu.

Thanks, I already saw this...
But in this guide it's not clear what the installation tool will do, if it will create partitions, if it will format something etc... Take the USB installation as an example, I never thought it would create 3 partitions on it...
That's why I'm asking this... Besides, I saw many people unable to boot into Windows after some sort of HD installation of Remix.
Have you tried this method of installation?
If yes, how is the structure of the directory, what files are in there, is it using data.img?
Cheers...

The hard drive installation will create a folder called "RemixOS" and add a boot entry for it in the Windows boot loader. In that folder is the kernel, initrd.img, system.img, menu.lst and some other files. An 8 GB data.img will be created on first boot. Those who have problems with booting are typically using a third-party method to install it.

It appears that for the issue mentioned in the link you posted the solution is to simply disable Secure Boot. I don't have much experience with UEFI myself, but on a BIOS system the installer worked perfectly, it didn't break either Windows or Linux Mint.

Thanks for the support.
Fortunately (I hope) I'm on BIOS as well, cause I heard somewhere that disabling secure boot prevents Windows to boot. I don't know if it's a Windows requirement on UEFI machines...
Now it's time to build courage to install it....

Thanks for the reply.
So trying to root it cause your PC to not be able to boot into Remix and Windows? Whoa, that's scary man...
In your screenshot everything seems fine, and I can see that you have a bigger data than standard 8GB, did you expanded it using third part tools?
Cheers.

I expanded the data.img using this tutorial (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp2/138623-how-get-bigger-data-img.html). Don't mind the fact that it was originally made for Windows Mobile devices running Android on SD card, the concept is the same (add zeros to the end of data.img, then expand the partition table in the data.img to cover the extra space).

no need to expand at all, you can choose between 8, 16 and 32GB

Hmm, interesting...
Where I can choose this, in the installation tool?
And does it take too long to boot? I'm asking this because I expanded the data.img of Phoenix OS, and since then it takes a lot more time to boot.

nope, as long as your data.img is much smaller than your actual harddisk, you will have no problems with speed.
yes, the instalation tool asks you what size you want to use, either 8, 16 or 32 GB can be chosen

I'm installed with installer download from oficial site. But after selected Remix OS from booting selection menu, i got two option:
Android
Android( Debug mode)
Them always gave me this message:
--set--root /Android/system.img
Error 15: file not found
When i came back to previous screen, then press E, i have this
--set--root /Android/system.img
/kernel /Android/kernel (many things here)
initrd /android/initrd.img
I replaced Android with RemixOS, it continue and then i stuck at

The official installer doesn't install into an Android folder; so I don't think you installed correctly.
However if you find your grub.cfg [or menu.lst] and change it to --set--root /Android/kernel you should be fine.
If you can't find the grub/menu.lst then add a file called system.img to the Android folder [copying and renaming the initrd.img is probably the simplest way to do it]
@percynguyen92 are you sure u used the official installer? Did you install Remix OS before with unofficial methods?

I downloaded from jide.com. i have checked md5sum. I searched many files with "Android" word including grub.cfg and menu.lst. Coundn't find any. My remix os use system.sfs, not system.img, what can i do?
@Vioner i have installed alpha version before with easybcd

Ah with legacy/bios it's menu.lst - not sure how to get to that. I do think you are loading the grub you used previously with easybcd rather than the one instaaled with the jide tool. So ideally boot to your bios and see is there a different boot entry you can launch. Alternatively as said before add a blank/garbage file called system.img into that folder - grub just wants to find it; it will actually use the system.sfs to run Remix [or you can press e on every boot and change system.img to system.sfs]
@percynguyen92 like HypoTurtle said - your PC instead of trying to start current Remix, starts alpha because of the old bootloader files /boot entries. It's probably just the old menu.lst file.
I don't know much about legacy booting, but you should be able to fix this with EasyBCD or by accessing the bootloader files and wiping the alpha version files.

I also had this issue, once I tried to install Android x86 on my PC and I think it fu*ked something in boot...
Today I fixed it finally....
With this command:
Code:
bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr
I'm not sure if it will work when Windows is booted, but I've used Windows install disc, booted it, and somewhere in repair PC is also command option....

You should also be able to restore the bcd [like what this does] with EasyBCD itself.
okay, i'm gonna buy a SSD, just money problem now. May be change hard drive and fresh install Windows 10 may fix this issue. Thanks guys!
