I have a CHUWI Hi10 Air CWI529 (Hi10 AirQ64G1911XXXX),
and I haven’t found any corresponding Windows images (files) on the forum.
I tried this one, and other ones too -> [Hi10 Air] [Official Version] Chuwi Hi10 Air Windows, driver, Bios download
RS4 and RS6 too, totally following everything that’s been said.
So far, I can F7 into the bootmenu, but when selecting the flashdrive (yes, named WINPE, NTFS, 4096 etc), only thing I see is a black screen. Thought it takes some time to load, but no.
Could someone (management maybe ?) please help, how I might be able to proceed installing Windows on it ?
If you are doing everything right and the installation of the system does not progress, you should try another pendrive, since some contain hidden directories that prevent the progress of the installation
Although I’ve read your recommendation earlier in other threads too, and understand why that could be an issue, I specifically chose a flashdrive when I bought it, to parry any issues like this.
For good luck, I will try the Media Creation Tool method once again with a different flashdrive in an hour, and share the results here afterwards.
Alright guys, nothing worked and service@chuwi.com didn’t get back to me.
Tried with Linux, FreeDOS, Hiren’s boot CD, etc…
Looks like whatever I’m trying to boot from, it’s kind of like in a bootloop, and doesnt want to do anything except showing me either only the logo, or a black screen. Any other ideas ?
Are you using usb hub? Try another one. Also check in bios chipset->south bridge->lpss&scc configuration there must be EMMC name at the top. If it’s unknown you may have hardware problem.
I’m pretty sure it is not a hardware problem, as the device is basically 3 weeks old (out of which it worked for the first two days), it worked fine before, until someone tried to fresh reinstall Windows on it. Of course formatted everything, hence nothing boots up, but that doesnt explain why the flashdrive, or external ssd, or anything is not being recognized as a bootdevice, and why it doesnt boot just hangs on the American Megatrends BIOS POST screen. It’s definitely not a hardware problem.
To some people in Russia the tablet came with an already faulty memory and it worked until the system was updated or reinstalled. They either had a logo or a blue screen of death. Also, some laptops hang on the logo with a faulty hard drive.
I’m in Hungary, so relatively close to Russia.
What is the solution in these scenarios ? aftersale@chuwi.com ?
Sideinfo : The BIOS randomly keeps freezing, and the boot order sometimes can’t be changed, as well as it doesnt do anything for the option of opening an EFI shell.
And probably if you disassembly the laptop you will find painted dot on memory, I’m not sure what does it mean but all tablets with “unknown” memory has it.
Oh well for warranty reasons I won’t open the tablet. But it’s a bit weird for me, because even if I just try to boot from a flash drive into a Live Linux distro, it doesn’t boot, and that has nothing to do with the eMMC on the motherboard. But quite interesting.
