Surface Pro 4 won't get to registration menu

[sarge_212]

@Sebastian-Roth UPDATE:

So, I successfully pxe booted off the surface dock. Then it prompted for a USB adatper, so I unplugged the ethernet cable from the surface dock and plugged in the USB>ethernet adapter and it started to capture the image. However, I have the image set to single disk - Resizable and it started to do a whole RAW image copy. of 254G. Is there anyway to make the image smaller? I am going to try multiple partition single disk now. However, on the raw transfer, it appeared to hang after about 3.1G of transfer. Let me know your thoughts.

@sarge_212 Why would it do RAW? I have no idea. Could you please post a picture of the messages on screen just before partclone (that blue “capture” screen) comes up?

FOG should be able to read the data in your partitions if they are FAT, NTFS, EXT2/3/4 and many other formats - in NON RAW mode!

[sarge_212]

@Sebastian-Roth Well, crap. I already am letting it upload the image as raw. I switched to Multiple partitions single disk and let it upload the 254 GB image. That’s almost done. I can create a second image definition and upload that once I’m done with this one here which should be done in about 4 minutes. I’ll try and get a solid video of the process but that may not be until tomorrow.

Okay, so we’ve made some progress so far. We were able to get a win10 upload working on an amazon usb 2.0 adapter. However, we wanted to try a 3.0 adapter for faster speeds, but that isn’t working. Also, another issue, when the upload appears to be done, I get a database error (of which I’ll post a picture should it happen again). The USB 3.0 adapter model is a Linksys usb 3.0 gig ethernet adapter, USB 3GIGv1 as found here: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Ethernet-Chromebook-Ultrabook-USB3GIG/dp/B00LIW8TBG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456499881&sr=8-2&keywords=linksys+3.0+usb+ethernet+adapter

Yeah. That’s where we’re at now. I’m doing an upload now and if it fails with that database error I’ll let you know. I’m pretty certain it’s not FTP creds, because other images are able to be uploaded.

[sarge_212]

@Sebastian-Roth Also, I forgot to mention, we did single disk resizable and it no longer is doing it as a RAW upload. That is good.

@sarge_212 can you update and try again? I’m pretty sure all handleErrors also pass the Args Passed now, even if no args were passed.

[sarge_212]

@Tom-Elliott Sure. Thanks for keeping on this one, Tom!

[sarge_212]

@Tom-Elliott Updated and uploading an image now from the Surface Pro 4 on the amazon basics usb 2.0 Ethernet adapter. I’ll let you know what it does in 10 minutes or so. Thanks for all your help, Tom and FOG team, you guys rock!!

[sarge_212]

Now I’m questioning credentials, grrr! Does updating change any of the credentials? I looked in all the spots and it seems that they are correct…

[Wayne Workman]

@sarge_212 lately there’s been some stuff going on with DB and FTP credentials… I’d check both. If you need help, just ask. but there are details in the wiki on this. Troubleshoot MySQL and Troubleshoot FTP.

[Sebastian Roth]

I am finally marking this solved as PXE boot and upload seam to work! Please open a new thread if you have further questions. Hope people will find this whole thread useful when trying to image their tablet devices…

[sarge_212]

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks!!

I was also facing the same problem from a long time and I was not getting any solution for this.
But after visiting this forum, I get my questions solved, answers shared in this forum are very good and very easy to implement.
