Chuwi Hi10 GO Megathread (W10/11)

[briani_davide]

Since there isn’t a subforum for this device and the Chuwi support is lacking, i choose to write this megathread just to share my findings on how to get the best out of the Hi 10 GO.

Prepare to completely format your device (just to eliminate every chinese bloatware)

• Create Windows 10/11 Installation Media (USB pen with at least 8GB) with the Media Creation Tool (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209 / https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295);
• Delete all the disks (you should see just the volume) and proceede with installation;
• after the boot, search for all the updates (even those optional);
• download latest Snappy Driver Installer Lite ( Download (sdi-tool.org) and, when promped, choose “download only Indexes”), wait, press “select all”, then “install”.

Now, the fixes.

TOURCHSCREEN FIX (Thanks to @Devint ):

1. • Download this configuration files (HID Fix Hi10 Go.zip — Yandex.Disk);
2. • run ConfigUpdate from folder 2 OR if it swears and gives an error, first from folder 1, then from folder 2;
3. • reboot.
     If someone should have the H7 updated diver, please feel free to create a download link for everyone else

GYROSCOPE FIX and other unkown peripherals (thix to @iuwu871 )

1. • Download the official driver pack (is for W10 but it will work also on W11) here 456.62 MB file on MEGA
2. • Unpack the zip;
3. • go to Device Manager, select just the unrecognised devices and go to “search for drivers inside this devices” (or something like that, i’m going by memory);
4. • select the path where you’ve unzip the downloaded archive and select “search also in subfolder”.
5. • reboot.

Improve EMMC

1. • Go to BIOS - Chipset - SCS Configuration;
2. • Enable eMMC 5.1 HS400 Mode;

FIX MICROPHONE (Thanks to @Devint )

1. • go to microphone properties - advanced;
2. • uncheck “enable enhancement audio feature”.

[Devint]

I think you can also add to the fixes: If the microphone does not work on win 11, go to the sound settings, additional sound settings (the “Sound” panel should open). Next, go to the recording tab, go to the microphone properties, the “Advanced” tab. Uncheck the box next to “Enable additional sound tools”. It is Google translate text (My native lang is Rus).

download latest Snappy Driver Installer Lite ( Download (sdi-tool.org) and, when promped, choose “download only Indexes”), wait, press “select all”, then “install”.

And true site of Snappy right now is https://www.snappy-driver-installer.org/

Actually, this is a fork of the main project.

Nice tip.
I’m adding it

[FabioRPereira]

Nice work briani_davide and Devint. It seems you care more about clients than Chuwi.
I´m strugling to get the bios version to N5100 model.
Whan I succeed, I´ll post the link here.

[briani_davide]

Thanks Fabio.
Well, an updated version of BIOS would be gold.

I hope you can get it

[FabioRPereira]

@briani_davide , I tried but didn’t succeed in get the BIOS file. So I have to open the tablet to check connections and get more information to try some fix.
Here’s what I found:

¡BEWARE! ¡NEWER MODELS DON’T HAVE PEN SUPPORT! I bought my tablet for drawing, and now I am stuck with a device that does not support the pen.

More people are having the same problem, and the only reply from Chuwi support is “your model does not support the pen”. They must have supply problems, or whatever.

[briani_davide]

Damn, you’re right.
They removed all the commercial infos about digitizer in the official website and store.

Probably because they didn’t figure out how to made the pen work properly.

[craftsman1234]

I got my Hi10Go in Aug 2021 and this last week have seen that the battery has bloated. I’ve sent off e-mails to Chuwi with no response. It should be under warranty still and would like to get one from them.

It works great for my needs as a portable device for Ham Radio.

Does anyone know where you can get a battery for it? It would be good to have a choice if Chuwi does not come through.

[Naced]

Hi, does theses files work on the N5100 model ?
Thanks in advance

[foxty]

me too… this is so trash

[guka90]

I am currently having a touch screen problem (inputs are inverted) and the fix in this thread doesn’t work (N5100 model).

[drizzle_mizzle]

More, pen on widows tablet is the only alternative for mouse or trackpad, and without it you can’t even surf internet normaly, you always lack of possibility to hover elements.

[drizzle_mizzle]

I’ll double my answer from your thread here for others:
Here’s correct driver and some more overall useful info about device

[guka90]

That worked, I’m also doubling my reply from here Chuwi Hi10 Go N5100 Touch Screen problem - #5 by guka90

Here’s the correct driver: 149.1 KB file on MEGA (I’m hosting this, please mirror it)

As a bonus I managed to get the N5100 restore image from service@chuwi.com, but it came with the inverted touch driver: 10.1-S102JWR120-JC86B-070-G(N5100) - just copy the content into an USB pendrive or something and rename the disk to “WINPE” (you have to rename it or else it won’t restore the image correctly)

Para os brasileiros: só instalar o driver com o link do mega que vai corrigir o problema do touch invertido, deixei também um pacote de restauração de imagem da versão N5100 que recebi do email de suporte oficial (mas que veio com driver de touch errado, é só jogar os arquivos dentro de um pendrive e renomear o disco para “WINPE”, depois instalar o driver do mega e clicar em “clean up” no Windows que vai chegar na tela de instalação zerado). Abraços!

[dj.ti]

Hello. Can I add SSD or emmc drive on Chuwi Hi10 Go ? I know that we have emmc 5.1 128 GB nand drive but maybe on motherboard we have pads or connector to do this ? What does it do bellow connector ?

[TimTru]

Hello.
By the way, someone put Android x86 ??
Tried to put it, but after choosing which version to put a black screen :((

[TimTru]

Hi. download the source code. The developer sent me an image. there is an instruction in the word file. During installation, everything is erased
