Although Windows in tablet mode offers a very nice touchscreen experience, the low specification of the Hi10 Air makes it quite slow by today&#8217;s standards. For this reason, I started searching for alternative operating systems to improve the performance. After successfully testing several Linux versions, I found a guide about installing Android and I thought to give it a go, thus I got the suggested bios file and flashed it on my Chuwi, and then&#8230; nothing&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I searched on the Chuwi forum and found a little information on what to use to flash new bios to unbrick my device. Since the bios chip was on the motherboard, I planned to use the CAMP bios flash method. The first thing to do was to buy a USB programmer for the bios chip. I found an &#8220;<em>EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter Kit<\/em>&#8221; on eBay for $12 with free shipping which seemed exactly what I needed. I bought one and waited for it to arrive. Additionally, I found the appropriate Chuwi Hi10 Air BIOS for my model number (found at the back of the device) at the Chuwi forum and saved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer.jpg 1821w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>You shall now be called the &#8220;Jenga BIOS programmer<\/em>&#8220;!<br>The CH341A programmer with the needed adapters is attached.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few months later (it takes 1-2 months for me to get my orders from China) I received the programmer, I assembled it based on some images I found on a Chuwi flash guide and I was ready. Since the proposed guides used some questionable untrusted signed programs on Windows, I thought to give myself a break and just use Linux instead. I booted by Ubuntu and installed `flashrom`:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code lang-shell\"><code>sudo apt install flashrom<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the guide I saw the BIOS flashing steps were simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Buy an appropriate chip programmer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the appropriate BIOS file<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disassemble the tablet (be careful not to break the screen)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unplug the battery from the motherboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clamp programmer on the BIOS chip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Program the BIOS chip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detach the programmer &amp; connect the battery cable back to the motherboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(optionally) Try to power on the tablet and see if it boots up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assemble the tablet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install the OS of your preference<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I disassembled the tablet and unplugged the battery cable. Now it was time to connect the programmer on the chip. Be sure to clamp it correctly, it may take some tries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-clamped-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-clamped-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-clamped-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-clamped-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-clamped-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dinodevs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/chuwi-bios-programmer-clamped.jpg 1821w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Clamp dat chip!<\/em><br>The CH341A programmer attached to the Chuwi&#8217;s BIOS chip.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To be sure that the clamp is attached correctly, first try to read the BIOS already flashed on the chip.
