This GUIDE was originally made for those with a 64-bit processor but 32-bit UEFI Windows installation. But it didn't work for any of them. However, those who don't like to make changes to their Windows Bootloader may follow this guide now, since this method enables you to use a CD or DVD too!
This guide is divided into two parts -
1. grub4dos guide using EasyBCD
2. Super GRUB2 Disk Guide
Using Super Grub2 Disk-
*Create a folder named "RemixOS" in the root directory of any of your partitions. If you had used the Official RemixOS Installation Tool before this guide, the directory may already be created. Important: Backup your data.img by moving to some other directory. Use UninstallRemixOS.exe to remove the current installtion.
1. Copy and paste the folder efi and the the following files from your RemixOS ISO to "RemixOS" folder you created earlier-
-initrd.img
-install.img
-kernel
-ramdisk.img
-system.img
*data.img, if you had installed RemixOS previously.
2. Now in the root of any of your partition, create a folder named grub2. Download the appropriate zip file from my this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/dual-boot-remixos-windows-usb-drive-t3324359/
3. Now, extract grub.cfg inside this zip to the grub2 you just created.
4. Download Super Grub2 Disk (CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 (ISO). If that doesn't work for you, you may try Super Grub2 Disk (Floppy, CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 [x86_64-efi] (ISO). Make a bootable USB of the ISO you downloaded or if you have a CD-Drive, you may burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it too!
*See second post for downloads and How to make bootable USB and boot RemixOS.
Recommended download (Floppy, CD & USB in one) (Valid for i386, x86_64, and x86_64-efi):
Super Grub2 Disk (CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 (ISO)
CD & USB version, (valid for x86_64-efi only):
Super Grub2 Disk (Floppy, CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 [x86_64-efi] (ISO)
How to make bootable USB:
1. Download Rufus. Rufus 2.7
2. Run it.
3. Select Device as your USB drive. Partition scheme and target system type as MBR partition scheme for UEFI. File system as FAT32. Under Format Options, create a bootable disk using ISO Image. Click the CD-ROM icon to browse the ISO file. Select ISO image as the one you downloaded. (If it changes to DD Image, don't worry. Proceed anyway). Click on Start.
4. Close application and restart Windows after your USB is ready. Boot from USB. (Key to enter Boot Options Menu is usually Esc or F12)
5. In boot menu, select Detect and show boot methods.
6. After you enter, choose RemixOS - Resident Mode.

When trying to flash the ISO image it won't let me change it to mbr for uefi. Instead it changes the image type from ISO to DD. After flashing it that way the drive won't boot. I went to the super grub website and redownloaded the image from there, but it was indeed the same ISO and it did the same thing.

Try using another pendrive. Or if your bios supports booting efi files, try that.

Post Updated. Check first post-
1. Hybrid ISO link added.
2. EFI file link removed.
I have tried with 2 different USB/Pen Drives either way it will not boot to the the grub/USB/device when selected. Would we not need a x86_32-efi grub or equivalent to make this work? not the x86_64-efi version?

I have the same problem as you... Last I tried was trying to format the USB with different partition scheme etc.. ended up with a non-working USB stick that won't format anymore. Guess RemixOS on 32bit UEFI is a lost case.. maybe I'll try cloudready instead.

The same here. Tested with 2 different usb sticks and different combinations, they just don't boot.
For the guy with the corrupted usb stick, try this:
winkey + r
cmd
diskpart
list disk
select disk * ('*' as the number of your pendrive)
list partition
clean
list partition
create partition primary
list partition
format fs=fat32 quick
list partition
exit
In the OP, I've mentioned URL to a new thread by @TP4LG (maybe he has been able to achieve something)
You may try that
Update : Thread title changed. It is confirmed that this guide doesn't work for 32-bit UEFI users.

Ok i used the installer to install Remix OS for PC beta and it installed fine but keeps freezing. But the question is now how to uninstall it and restore my boot menu to stop showing remix os?
Running windows 10 pro
thanks
Look inside the RemixOS folder (on the drive where you installed it)
There is a filed called....guess what...."UninstallRemixOS.exe"
Play around with that....
Thank you Good Sir
Same question here.... unfortunately when I boot into Windows and click on the Remix Folder I get "Remix OS is not accessible. Directory is corrupted and unreadible".
I tried installing the OS again using the tools provided but with no luck. Grateful for any help!
FYI, I managed to boot my pc into safe mode and it allowed me to delete the Remix OS folder. It's still showing as an option at boot but I'm sure I'll be able to get rid of that with a bit of research.

1 - Run Command Prompt as an Admin.
2- Type bcdedit and press Enter.
3- Look for the section that has Remix OS listed (most likely under Real-mode Boot Sector).
4- Copy the Identifier for the Remix OS listing including the brackets.
5- Type bcdedit /delete, paste the Identifier and press Enter.
6- If you want, type bcdedit again to confirm that it's gone.
7- Reboot your PC.
I hope this helps. Enjoy!

I had a similar problem when I installed on my hard drive and it got corrupted somehow. I had to boot into safe mode, navigate to the Remix OS feet and manually delete. So if you can see he folder on your thumb drive, that might work.

Download something called "USB Disk Storage Format Tool", run as administrator, specify name, file system etc. and click Format. It will detect maximum storage of your thumbdrive and format it to (in your case) 16GB.

Hi, I just tried, hope it might help me with my stupid mixed arch 32bit uefi/64bit system laptop. the install process went well, on the partition of the internal drive i reserved for remix os, (D or gpt4, win is on C, gpt3) i see the files (data, initrd, kernel, ramdisk, RemixOS.boot, system, TRANS.TBL) but my computer still directly boot into winwin when i restart it... any idea? where are the efi files? especially the bootia32.efi, because i need to validate it from the uefi setup to let it boot . thanks
It seems like a big work from you, if i manage to make my remix install boot, i'll donate for your work. but right now it doesn't
to give you more info, i managed to make it boot from hdd on a fat32 partition, i had to ass the bootia32.efi file from efi/boot of remix os install to my trusted list, put that but file on the top bootable file and disabling secure boot. it started, but with fat32 i had only 4gb data.
what's missing to your installer that make my remix install not boot up?
where are the EFI, isolinux and .android_secure folders?
power up you laptop
at the first boot screen hit F12 or whatever your laptop boot menu key
you will see RemixOS boot menu

ok. so on this Acer Switch i need to do one more thing before i can hit f12, i need to go on the efi setup look on the trusted uefi files and add the remix32.efi file in the android folder of the boot partition.
Thanks for that...
Now remix won't boot i get stuck on the loading screen glowing remix os, i'm gonna check if i can have verbose boot si i can check why...

Ok i found my mistake. I had to take the 64bit remix os. Up until now i have tried with the 32 bit version. I realized that editing the grub conf.
All works well as on usb stick. You can add that on acer switch you have to access efi setup and add the remix32.efi file to the trusted list then put it at the top of the boot list then disable secure boot.

Works on a tablet Asus Vivotab 8 (M80TA)
Great work and thank y!
The Vivotab is another 64bit CPU device in a 32efi env.. Created at 1st another volume next to Win10, give it disk letter to d:, let run the installer. Finally added keyboard, to be able to switch between Win and Remix. First run of RemOS needs some min. WIFI, on-screen keyboard and touch works fine, but NOT autorotate screen, GPS or the other sensors.
Best regards to Austria
Nic
PS: Maybe y can change this installer that it is possible to install any Linux Distro on a 32bit UEFI machine, there is a big lack of 32bit UEFi compatible Linux.
I'm glad to hear that
Doesn`t work anymore
Unfortunately after several successful boots to RemOS, I am stuck now on grub menu with the messages
Code:
error: no such device: /Remix-OS/RemixOS.boot.
error: file `/Remix-OS/kernel' not found.
...
No chance anymore to boot into RemOS or Windows or BIOS! The connected keyboard via USB isnt recognized, so no chance to use cursor down to select Win-Partition or hit F2 to go into BIOS.
Maybe you add in grub menu loading additional driver that helps at least to support the touchscreen because the Vivotab is a tablet w/o keyb. And as additional fallback switch autom. to 2nd menu item in case 1st item isnt working.
Could be my fault, because I was able to switch into BIOS all the time, before(!) I (assume) enabled Fast-Boot

Currently not, it seems to be not possible to load BIOS first. I think it is caused by missing driver controlling the keyboard.
I assume it will be a case for the Asus Support.

I assume no chance, that could be a bug in Beta, I had the same situation with the Asus Vivotab. Also in case Win was started it seems that its normally oriented in portrait mode on such a tablet.
WIFI and attached keyboard were recognized in my RemixOS session but none of the sensors, that one is needed for screen rotation.

Thats fine, I was using mostly a wireless keyb from Logitech, that was always working fine in BIOS and boot menu of RemixOS etc.
My ASUS seems to be now in a endless boot loop (see my posting #12 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65793962&postcount=12 ) without any chance to go into BIOS or selecting the WIN entry in grub menu. The keyb isnt recognized anymore, maybe through FAST-Boot enabling afterwards as RemixOS was installed and running.
Also through a passiv or active USB hub with wired or wireless keyboard or a mouse isnt recognized in system anymore.
I have a Asus t100 I'm trying to install remix os on without a windows os. I used pmagic since I'm not that good at coding, I tried coping all the files from release_Remix_OS_for_PC_32-bit_Beta_Version_Package
to a new partition then when I try to boot from it my computer just goes straight to bios because theres nothing to boot.

Asus T100 uses Intel Atom Z3740, a 64bit processor. So use the 64-bit version of Remix OS. The 64-bit version of Remix OS also has UEFI, which makes making the drive easier, and booting faster. Make the bootable USB as per instructions, and disable secure boot in your BIOS. You should then be able to boot from the USB.
it won't work. T100 has 64bit processor but a 32bit system

Ok I just did it so, here is how I did it. Use gparted, from gparted.org, booted up, partitioned, small 500MB FAT32 formated partition, second partition EXT4 the rest, 58GB+. Then took 32bit beta using JIDE's tool to put on a USB stick. Booted the stick and when it came up, entered e, to enter grub boot config. On the second line removed the part after and put INSTALL=1. Installed android to the larger partition, then installed grub, grub efi, formated, then rebooted. Side loaded google services from this forum and it works. Bugs, biggest issue is no audio. Let me know if you have any luck.

If I use that to put it on the USB when I put the USB in and boot it will it install to the HDD or is it going to run from USB?

From windows:
1) Dowmload and unpack RMX installer everywere you want (you will have a folder called RMX installer).
2) enter on RMX installer folder and execute the .EXE file.
3) Browse for the Remix OS .ISO file (use the 64 bits one, works like a charm for me )and choose the Data size (will create the data.img file).
4) disable secure boot and fast boot in your BIOS.
5) Boot and you will see the grub menu with Remix OS and Windows options.

OK but Asus t100 only uses 32bit which isn't a problem. And I don't have windows on it I have anot her computer that has windows on it but the Asus t100 has no OS at the moment I'm trying to install remix on it without installing windows so if the RMX Installer only works with a Windows installed then I have no use for it
Yes I'm having the same problem, with the new T100 that has both OS and CPU 64 bit.
The thing is, whatever you do grub won't detect either an external SD card or the keyboard dock's HDD as a boot option. They don't even show up in BIOS ! The only possibility seems to be booting from internal storage, which is too limited to dual boot Windows + Remix OS.
Anyone has tips for this ?
Thanks

When installing Ubuntu on a Surface Pro I had to use a USB-keyboard as the BIOS didn't recognise the original one. If you have one laying around you should try.

GRUB
libergm said:
Ok I just did it so, here is how I did it. Use gparted, from gparted.org, booted up, partitioned, small 500MB FAT32 formated partition, second partition EXT4 the rest, 58GB+. Then took 32bit beta using JIDE's tool to put on a USB stick. Booted the stick and when it came up, entered e, to enter grub boot config. On the second line removed the part after and put INSTALL=1. Installed android to the larger partition, then installed grub, grub efi, formated, then rebooted. Side loaded google services from this forum and it works. Bugs, biggest issue is no audio. Let me know if you have any luck.
V/R,
Gary

how can i install grub? i tried every method found in the internet but non of them worked.
please help
You can install a clean copy of windows in your Yoga Book using the ISO from Microsoft and these drivers.
You will need a USB OTG cable and a USB hub to connect a keyboard, a mouse and a USB drive to your Yoga Book.
You will need three USB drives. One for creating a rcovery drive (16GB), one for windows Installation (8GB), and one to hold the drivers.
- Make a recovery pen drive before you modify anything. This will allow you to restore the device to its factory state, in case you need to return it or are not happy with the results of your modifications:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/instantanswers/3a747883-b706-43a5-a286-9e98f886d490/create-a-recovery-drive
Keep this drive safe and use it if you want to restore your Yoga Book to a Factory state.
- Download a copy of windows and make a USB bootable drive:
https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/software-download/windows10ISO
- Download the drivers and put all the files in a pen Drive. These drivers are from september 2016, posted by UweThelen63 at the Lenovo Forums, looks they deleted the post, here is a copy I made:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxTLcy78OveNUW1KVk9iN3lBS2s/view?usp=sharing
To install windows, put in the USB with the ISO, boot the Yoga with VOLUME UP + POWER button, choose boot manager and select USB UEFI.
Follow the windows 10 installation to the end, you'll get a couple of black screens, just wait. The display will be rotated, use the USB mouse to navigate.
When windows is installed, use the Drivers USB, extract everything and start an Administrator command line ("windows key" + "X", "m"). Go to the folder where you extracted the drivers and run "startmodule" for each driver. Start with the Intel Cherry trail drivers.
I haven't installed the LenovoShutDownHelper yet. I don't know what it does.
You'll have to go into the display settings and rotate it to 270º when the Intel graphics drivers are installed.
For me, everything works except the haptic feedback for the keyboard. If you find ahow to make it work, please, let me know.
I don't know how to install the Dolby programs. Any idea?
thats all great but how do we install it if we have the android version of the yoga book?
Need unlocked bootloader.

We need unlocked bootloader, however, I think its not developed yet.
Anyway,when bootloader unlocked, android users can install windows because of dproldan's contribution!
I'm going mad because of android's humble multitasking interface! I really really hope Nougat releases ASAP!

Sorry. I don't know... I tried to unlock but, at that time, I recognized there is no custom rom or bios and I can't build that. So I gave up to trying...
I believe some hero will lead us...T^T
First, let me thank you for those drivers... I can't believe Lenovo is removing the drivers from their support site and forums. Mind-boggling.

I'd like to know how to install the Dolby programs as well.
That said, to enable the haptic feedback you have to either fix the startmodule.cmd in the immersion vibrator driver folder or manually install it. The .cmd file doesn't set the paths right for the files it needs to copy.
To manually install it:
copy to %windir%\system32 :
Code:
touchsense.dll
touchsensed.exe
(maybe vcruntime140.dll... on my windows 10 it already existed)
then make the folder touchsensed (still in system32, so after it will be %windir%\system32\touchsensed)
copy to this new folder %windir%\system32\touchsensed :
Code:
license.param
tuning.param
then open an admin command prompt and do:
Code:
sc create TSSvc binpath= %windir%\system32\touchsensed.exe start= auto DisplayName= "TouchSense Service"
sc start TSSvc
sc failure TSSvc reset= 0 actions= restart/1000/restart/1000/restart/1000
After that, reboot... and on next boot you should have haptic feedback.
thank you. I reinstalled everything again and did that. Haptic is working now.
Dolby also installed by itself. Probably has something to do with the order of installation. i did the cherry trail drivers first and then the rest, with a few reboots between them.
How did you get the product key or did you have to get a new one?
In my case, Windows activated itself if I connected to WiFi just after the language selection display. I guess the key is stored in the BIOS/UEFI/Mother board.
I don't have a Microsoft account.

I heard win 10's activation is related to M/B.(Maybe from win 8's tablet edition?)

Just loaded a fresh install of Win 10 and it activated on its own. Thanks for the info.
Has anyone got the Automatic System update to work? On Lenovo's website I click 'Start Scan' -> Install the Lenovo Support Bridge -> Then it starts to scan but never gets past 0%
can anyone explain how to install windows 10 on an android version of Yoga book?
who has the ROM of Android version within Google service ? Plz send me one, thank you so much !
hello all...
i have a trouble to clean install my windows yoga book (YB1-91F). Basically i have done all the preparation, driver, windows on usb. Even i make sure i've created bootable usb flashdrive. But everytime i go to boot menu there are no UEFI usb option, there are only greyed boot EFI and boot windows option. i have try to load from advance startup option inside the windows, but in the end it only show "the system doesn't have boot to EFI". so it kind of stuck for me. Even if i choose reset my pc, it always says there are trouble reseting my pc, no change were made.
i want to reset my yoga book, because i've been infected by some malware, and i think my internal storage and windows registry is somewhat junked.
Ups, sorry... i've solved the problem. Eventually I use MBR for the bootable flashdisk where it shoud GPT format... now, i'm clean installing my yoga book. Crossing finger, hope all goin well.

you should start command prompt as an administrator.
- click start
- type cmd
- right click cmd, select run as administrator
- continue to each driver folder
- run startmodule.cmd

you should type command completely with the extension... it's should be "startmodule.cmd" inside each folder of the driver
When I installed Windows 10 again, Windows Update did most of the hard work with installing drivers. So as long as you can get an internet connection by installing the wireless drivers (try using the Device Manager > Search for drivers on this PC) you should be good.
