Install Remix OS on Yuandao Vido M9i

Hey guys, good news for Vido M9i users. The Remix OS is officially available for our tablet. To install it, follow the instructions below.

NOTE: I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES BY FOLLOWING THE METHOD BELOW BUT I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE METHOD BELOW WORKS PERFECTLY.

First thing we will do is set up the drivers and manufacturing flash tool.
Download the following zip and extract it. (Thanks to tecknight of xda for zip)
Click to download the zip file
After you have extracted it, open the folder where you extracted the files, you will see the following files:
Now, first double click the file named '1-InstallDrivers', it will install the drivers.
Next double click the file named '2-InstallMFT', it will install the Manufacturing Flash Tool.
The last, double click on '3-RunAsAdmin-ApplyCustomConfig', it will copy the necessary files to the Manufacturing Flash Tool.

Note: Please do not change the install locations of the files.

Okay, so now lets download the ROM.
Click to download ROM
Here, in the downloads section you will see two folders, one is for the Vido M9i having the model id starting with ZN and the other is for having the id starting with ZS, you can check yours in the back bottom of the tablet. The download link is in Chinese so please use Translate if you don't understand it.
After you have downloaded the ROM, extract it in a folder.
Now, double click the  Manufacturing Flash Tool shortcut in your desktop.
Now navigate to File->Settings. Now in the VID & PID section, set the values to the ones like in the image below:

So, after it is done, navigate to File->Open, now browse to the location where you extracted the Remix OS. There open the xml file named 'flash_MFT_v2_chiphd_v2.0'.
So, now we will need to do some work on the tablet. Power off the tablet. Now, press the Power button and Volume '+' button at a time, your tablet will boot into DnX mode, and you will see a black screen, in which at the top you will see two lines of text. Now connect your tablet with your PC. As soon as you connect it, Manufacturing Flash Tool will start the flashing work and after flashing is done, your tablet will boot into Remix OS.

THE ISSUES WHICH I EXPERIENCED WHILE FLASHING IT:

  1. First, when using Windows 10, Manufacturing flash tool stuck at 10% and gave error named "ADB enum failed", so I tried doing the flashing work in Windows XP and successfully passed. It seems there are some driver issues with Windows 10.
  2. After flashing Remix, my Windows was lost. Whenever, I tried to boot into Windows, It showed up Vido and Intel Logo and turned off, to fix this, download the Windows file from the same download link above and flash it. I will create a detailed guide on how to do so soon.
