extract zImage from mass_only_sd.rar to burntool dir not from adb.rar, adb works only via tcpip, gps doesn't work, screen goes completely then locked, looks like system is running faster. More software like office, twiter, facebook etc. comes preinstalled into new rom.

It is slow but tolerable (for me at least). Boot takes less than a minute - opening a command prompt or opening leafpad takes about 10 seconds.

Other devs have put arm versions of their linux flavor and it works too. I don't know how fast.

Hi All!

Mine ZT-180 has arrrived today! :-D

But when I tried to to flash it I have a bad surprise: I can't open the .img files.

Now a days I am ruming windows 7 64 bits. I think this is the problem. What is the best SO to flash it? win xp 32 bits?

Thanks All!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Yeah, to flash the 1030 ROM, or previous ones, win XP 32 seems to have the least problems associated with the burn process.

Hi omarahum,

Thank you very much for replying!!

What is the diference between the 100827 avaible here and the 1030 rom?

And, what really changes when it is flashed?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Easiest answer is 1030 is best as fixes most of the nagging things like missing market in 0827 automagically... you do still need to manaully fix the wifi with TXPower hack to have it run cooler and more reliabely...

No need to purchase a copy of WinXP just to flash. You can download and install 32-bit Ubuntu for free, and it will co-exist with windows.

Then you can use the Linux tool for flashing ROM images:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I'm not sure about "working", but seems to be functional using the FTDI zImage with the 1126 beta ROM from my tests yesterday. I'm not sure how GPS is supposed to work correctly on these tablets though, because it seems I can't get those GPS icons to appear on the status bar since it first initialized, but MapDroyd seems to find my location correctly with wifi off.....

Update: So GPS should work with any zimage and the 1126 beta, think they only enabled ttyUSB9 to get it to work....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I flashed the 1126 beta rom last night, and everything set up quickly and without issue. Powered down the unit - and when I attempted to start it up again, it hung on the small android_ screen, and would not start up.

I reflashed the 1126 beta rom, and once again everything set up nice and quick. Again powered down, etc and had the same problem - hangs on the small android_ screen and does not start up

I went back to the 1030 rom and have no issues starting and shutting down.

Any ideas - must be doing something wrong with the new burntool or something.

Any feedback greatly appreciated

I've been running a few days fine on 1126 with 576 mass-storage kernel and I can shutoff nd turn back on just fine... in fact bootup seems faster at 70sec. from touch power to 3 homescreens populated with widgets and usable...

Which kernel did you flash as I believe the little android is uboot and the moving one is kernel so seems it never loaded/started the kernel...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Sitting here at the office with a big grin on my face - have no idea as to what you mean by the little android and the moving one ? I do not have the tablet or the burntool app here at the office so will have to check when I get home.

I'm guessing that I might have been lucky with this as whatever I did wrong, it still allowed me to go back to the 1030 version.

I'll get back to you later - hopefully can figure it out

Regards,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I think little android is the text with the flashing cursor, and moving android is the bootanimation, so he is trying to figure where it's stalling, during uboot or during the kernel boot, but I may be wrong....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Okay - that makes sense, based on your terms - then it stalls during the text with the flashing cursor

I used the following files

boot - I used ZT_Bx Boot ( uboot-img checked, not spl )

User data - I used userdata.pack.img

System I used - system.pack.img

kernel - I used the zimage 576 file from the mass_only_sd file

I also tried using all the same files but replacing the kernel with the zimage 576 file from the ftdi folder

Both flashes gave me the same results.

First I would like to say you are awesome for all the work you have gone through to get your 3G USB modem working on the ZT-180. :)

Now I have a question for you. This output was from connecting a USB 3G Modem to a GTablet, a device that I own which has a growing sub-forum here at xda developers. http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=841

For testing usb gps:

1 burn ftdi kernel

2 connect usb host with gps module

3 boot up

4 connect to adb

5 run adb shell

6 ls /dev/ttyUSB* and see if there is ttyUSB9 is appear

7 test gps in google map

The first time I booted with the gps stick plugged in, boot took a little longer than usual, and then after it fully booted, it rebooted itself, on the next boot after enabling GPS for my location and openning up google maps, saw the GPS receiving icon on top, but was indoors next to my router because I had to use the internal wifi which doesn't connect to my router from outside, so it always gave my location at 0 lat, 0 long, till jtbnet suggested I use MapDroyd which doesn't need wifi, and that found my location correctly outside while not connected to wifi, but the GPS icon no longer appears after the initialization of the USB GPS Stick the first time I used it with google Maps, but it still seems to work.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] victim70:
If I change the permisions on boot with

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DavidJBrown:
Yeah the partition structures have changed in 1126, gone is /nand (at least on mine) and in comes a bigger userdata and space for the spl (recovery partition).

Does this mean I can dual boot between WinCE and Android? Anyone got any instructions?

Never used WinCE, put Android on as soon as I got it.

With the new (beta) firmware can anyone confirm EXT USB drive work? It used to break and USB HDD I put in there and I am weary of trying it again.............
