Just bought a HiBox Hero CW1531 - Any support still?

I’ve just bought a second hand HiBox Hero CW1531 (1611), is there still any support for this? It seems to work OK but I would like the user manual if possible, I can’t find one online. I would also like to re-install Windows 10, I’ve done that on my Hi10 (still got that) so I’d be looking for the right files to do this if available. I know it’s 8 years old tech but it was cheap :grin:

You need to send me the serial number, so i can provide them to you

Serial number is: Hiboxh201611260741.

I have managed to re-installed Win 10 from the internal recovery files on it, but I’d still like to have the factory files if possible. The Android partition has never been used as far as I can tell, so that’s a bonus. Initial tests seem to indicate it works as it should, I just need to fettle Win 10 into submission now. Nice bit of kit tbh.

These are the files:

Thanks for those, it’s appreciated. As a matter of fact I’m using the HiBox now, Windows has had all the bloatware removed and all the Microsoft spyware disabled so it works better now. I should’ve got one sooner I think, its a nice little machine, I’m impressed :smiley:
Thanks again for the help.

I am glad to hear that.

Hi I have the following serial number
Hiboxh201611260165
My current bios and date is BT3_64BIT_64BIT V05 - 16/11/2016
I want to access the bios advanced tab to wake on land or to be “always on” on power.

thanks in advance

Have you tried configuring it from Windows ?

There are several ways to do it without entering the BIOS.

Yes I tried but it doesn’t wake up on LAN.

I configured all settings in windows but it didn’t work, I think I need a bios option.
even I tried to get advanced using alt + F5 but it didn’t work.
Thank you for your answer.

What year is your device from, or how old is it ?

Since you tried to enter the advanced BIOS, first you enter the BIOS and then you press F5

11

10 years I ordered 2016/12/15

how is the process?

  • del → enter the bios
  • F5 → should I see something?
  • save configuration
  • reset
  • del: enter the bios again
    Expected behavior
  • I see the advanced tab in the bios

I will try later but I doubt it works

12

this doesn’t work

It’s possible that 10 years ago there was no advanced BIOS configuration.

In the past, there were indeed advanced configuration options available.
