If what was revealed at CES holds true, there's probably over 70 tablets coming. I bought a nephew the Viewsonic G tablet for Christmas. He discovered the Cynaogen mod and can't stop bragging about the tablet. I have an eye on Toshiba's Honeycomb tablet. Will probably be outside my price range, but I can dream. I like the zt-180+, but can't get past that identical (and short!) battery charge of the zt-180.

Reflashed 2.2 with all files and wi-fi came into game. my 1st flashing of 2.2 didn't include userdata, just wanted to save all my existed data, but instead of it i got wi-fi not working.still have some problems with su.

iam not adb user, tried to remove su in terminal emulation, no success.

still researching....

Question:

I've been using Android Commander since adb over USB started working, and primarily backup and restore/install my apps with it. Now with the 0120 Froyo ROM, anything I can't install straight from the Market, I need to use Android Commander to install, and out of the three options Regular Private and Update, I need to use Private to get a successful install (like Angry Birds and Aldiko 2.0). Can someone explain to me what a private install is, and why that works to install certain programs?

TIA

changing hardware keys funtions

im sorry to bring up some old posts. I was wondering if anybody figured out how to change the functions of the hardware keys? i saw that one user was trying to figure it out but i dont think i saw the solution in the hundreds of pages i scanned through. I am running the 1204 firmware. it would be nice to have the power button to work as a lock screen/sleep funtion. any help is appreciated.

for those having trouble with rooting, i think this may be of help:

http://209.250.2.82/index.php?topic=15250.75

i tried with the path "/system/xbin/su" more than fifteen times, but still would not root. the instructions in the froyo beta should be modified to "bin" and NOT "xbin" for this official release, as i later found in the above post. :-)

it worked for me several times, and i'm quite sure it will work with everyone else.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] karlonicolas:
also, just fyi, i was able to install the overclocked SPL from omarahum's files. i flashed both boot and spl of the overclocked 1126(?) rom AFTER i flashed all the froyo files.

speed in dmesg displays 1056, and no hangs or errors to date.

any one here brave enough to try the dual boot kernels with froyo, or won't they work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] karlonicolas:
i have a similar experience with productivity software, which won't install as a regular install in android commander but works perfectly as a private install.

my guess is compatibility issue, but i'd love to know the real reason behind it.

usb to hdmi

i have been looking around and i have come across a usb to hdmi converter. do you guys think it will work for our zt-180?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I doubt it... typically the way this works is you Parent OS has a USB Video card driver that formats and sends data to the USB based Video card which then has a VGA,DVI,HDMI hardware adapter... so hardware wise it would be possible But we don't have a USB Video Driver ported to our version of Linux/Android to work with the USB Video Card...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I'd suspect that it's just the case of some Paid/Private Apps that expect to be installed /data/app-private vs. Typical Apps that get installed in /data/app and other System Apps (Like Gapps etc.) that need to be installed in /system/app...

For guy having problems with SU, use universal androot, it will say you have allready rooted, then select "dont install superuser", and select "root again"

boom you now have all root rights.

try it, i have done mine with it, no need to copy any su file to anywhere.

I'm currently running 1204 and although it works OK I have a couple of problems that look to be fixed in Froyo. Kindle seems to allows you to read ebooks. Hopefully the more recent versions of Kobo also work as the last few versions don't work properly.

Whilst I can upgrade to Froyo using the sdcard I'm a bit concerned about subsequently rooting the ZT-180. I've singularly failed to get adb to work over usb as my two Vista machines are both 64bit. Whilst I can see the ZT-180 using Ubuntu 10.4 and probably fiddle around and get adb to work, it is bit of pain. Does anyone know if the ADB over WiFi widget works on Froyo? It looks like it can enable adb over wifi without using root, but I'd like to be sure before I update to Froyo,

To revert to 1204 from Froyo is it just necessary flash system.pack, userdata.pack and zImage or do we need to flash ZT_Bx.boot as well?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] quakernbq:
Hi all.

I have tried everithing using this post`s replys with no success for rooting and fixing the Superuser "su".Maybe someone could help me.

Before writing things i have tried:

-Mi ZT180 is the 256mb original which came with 1030(board ruby 1.4) and have been upgraded,rooted and su`ed with succes until 1204(didnt tried froyo beta 0113,i went directly to 0120)

-For me adb works on linux,mac and windows,so i can acces zt180 with success and enter as "root user" to the pad using adb.

-I have seen,but nobody mentions it(or i have no seen it),when you flash to 0120,theres alredy a Superuser.APK installed,and Universal Androot either Z4root shows that the device is rooted...Which could be true although superuser "su" doesnt work.

Having writed this,there we go,tried:

-Flashing 0120,Using universal androot 1.6.1/1.6.2beta5 /z4root with NOT INSTALLING Superuser,this "deletes superuser" but aparently roots the tablet again.su does not work.

-Flashing 0120,Using universal androot 1.6.1/1.6.2beta5 with INSTALLING Superuser,this deletes original superuser and changes whith androot/z4root superuser, but aparently roots the tablet again.su does not work.

-Use adb to send su to tablet,BEFORE install Androot and setting it to not install superuser.Then use Androot/Z4root,This deletes rom came original superuser.su does not work.

-Use adb to send su to tablet,AFTER install Androot and setting it to not install superuser.This deletes rom came original superuser.su does not work.

-Use adb to send su to tablet,BEFORE install Androot and setting it to install superuser.Then use Androot/Z4root,This deletes rom came original superuser and su.su does not work.

-Use adb to send su to tablet,AFTER install Androot and setting it to install superuser.This deletes rom came original superuser and su.su does not work.

-Change permissions to su to 777,4755,6755 all with rebooting, in all mentioned cases above.Su doesnt work.

As you see...i have tried almost everything with no luck.Some little help will be apreciated ;).

Thanks

Tried it omarahum with no success.

Question for all posters who own a ZT180 256mb.

¿How many of you with ZT180 ruby 1.4 board,have successfully achieved working Superuser (su),for example using androot,z4root and then making a try with Root Explorer?

Its important to know cause i think is a problem with Motherboard version, cause all people that have done successfully root and su(both) havent got ruby 1.4.

To see version,if you dont know which is,must open pad with a tiny screw driver in the to holes and push up.The motherboard version is printed on board.

Thanks to all.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] qmanager:
I have this one (1.4), no troubles at all installing Universal Androot and getting root and SU. Installing z4root, though, always ended with failure during reboot (system just hanged with white screen).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
When you use adb from linux are you using ubuntu 10.4? If you are could you post some details of how you set everything up?

Using lsusb I can identify the ZT-180 and see its vendor id and thought I just needed to create /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules e.g.

SUBSYSTEM="usb", SYSFS{idvendor}="18d1, MODE="0666"

but this does not seem to work as adb does not see the ZT-180.

Have I created the correct rule file? I've seen some posts using 51-android.rules, but when I tried this it didn't work either. I've also seen some posts adding and additional identical rule e.g. 90-android.rules. Does one need to add a group id or owner value?

Any help greatly appreciated as I don't seem to be able to connect using an XP system with the ZT-180 connected via usb. Although the driver installs correctly when in flash mode, it does not if you boot the ZT-180 normally.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Ah, you are using the paid Root Explorer, I've been using the one i got from ibeau.net (2.8.1).....

With the 0120, I don't think USB GPS functionality is enabled (at least not on ttyUSB9 which my dongle uses, looks like ttyUSB0 is enabled when I plug in my USB GPS).....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
I just rooted with Universal Androot 1.6.1 because 1.6.2 beta 5 fails to root, even though you select the Do not install Superuser option. I have an older version of Root Explorer 2.8.1 from the backup I took prior to updating from 1204 to Froyo a few days ago. This version of Root Explorer 2.8.1 works fine, obtaining root privileges and letting one switch to R/W.

starfighter1948
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
Omarahum have you thought of creating a symlink from ttyUSB9 to ttyUSB0 using a rooted terminal i.e. something like ln -s ttyUSB9 /dev/ttyUSB0. I'd suggest placing the symlink in /dev. I'm not sure how android would handle the symlink if you remove your gps dongle.

starfighter1948
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
It doesn't work, I think ttyUSB9 needs to be initialized on boot (at least once) for the tablet to recognize it and use it with apps, because the init.rc always gets recompiled from the kernel at boot and can't be permanently changed, I think it needs to be changed from the kernel in order to do that (so the init.rc initializes it on boot) .....

Or I am completely wrong and don't know what I am talking about, which could be the case, but from my experimentation, that's my finding.....

I've asked the dev for an updated "XDAers" kernel for Froyo, but he responded that he was busy with WinCE and would do it later.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
I think the init.rc script is used by the Android boot process and not actually re-created on each boot. Essentially, init.rc specifies how to set up the running android environment. The init.rc contained within the current Froyo build dates from 17-1-2011 and its date isn't being changed on boot.

The Froyo entries within init.rc relating to ttyUSB0-9 are from memory identical to those in the 1204 init.rc, namely:

chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB2
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB3
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB9
...
...
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB0
chown radio radio /dev/ttyUSB0
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1
chown radio radio /dev/ttyUSB1
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB2
chown radio radio /dev/ttyUSB2
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB3
chown radio radio /dev/ttyUSB3
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB4
chown radio radio /dev/ttyUSB4

It looks like there is an error in init.rc and the last two entries above should refer to ttyUSB9 rather than ttyUSB4. This could be the reason that you are seeing your GPS USB dongle showing up on ttyUSB0 rather than ttyUSB9. Essentailly the group:owner of ttyUSB9 is not being set to radio, and therefore not available for your GPS dongle to use so it falls back to ttyUSB0. Try navigating to init.rc using root explorer and changing the two spurious entries to ttyUSB9 and rebooting prior to checking if your GPS USB dongle shows up on ttyUSB9. Hope this helps.

starfighter1948
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
Omarahum: sorry buddy a really lucid explanation of what is wrong and how to put it right -- which doesn't work. You were RIGHT, the init.rc file changes with every boot. I just tried it the mod I suggested and it keeps changing it back again. Not only that the boot procedure deletes the backup copy the editor made of init.rc when I edit it.

i have a zenithink zt180 epad ans was wondering if you peeps could help me out a little.. i am wanting to get most stable firmware and most stable version of android rom possible for this tablet..

i will list all details below from tablet info...

model = zt180

firmware version = 2.1 update 1

kernal version = 2.6.32.9 usbandroid#1608

build number = zt180-eng 2.1 update 1 ere27 emg.root.20101204.113523 test-keys

also are there any custom roms available..

reason im asking is that some apps just make tablet crash to a green screen, so wantin git more stable id possible..

btw, tablet is rooted..

i got it off ebay, second hand..............
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iakinthos:
This is amazing :D

The zt-180 is rooted without adb or any other trick

I reflashed the froyo rom today

After finishing with my settings I turned on the wifi

First thing I did was to open superuser

He told me that a new su is available and to press ok to install it

I did it and said that su installed succesfully

I opened then universal androot 1.6.1 and I said not install superuser

It said that is rooted allready and I pressed root again

Then I opened root explorer and no error about su happened

I deleted some apps not needed and also from data folder (anytime tried to open data folder other times I flashed the froyo rom was not able...it said that I must be rooted to open this folder)

I did a reboot to see if its still rooted the epad and......wow...its still rooted and I can use all the fuctions of root explorer
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
OK, I have successfully TARed my data partition (adb shell, cd /data, busybox tar cvf /sdcard/data.org.tar ./) into a 520 MB data.org.tar file to the root of my SDcard.

Does anyone know if I need to turn it into an img and flash it to be able to restore (I would need to install ubuntu {and learn how to use it} and use the files with the debug files), or can I just unzip and copy the files over (using Android Commander) next time I need to flash the userdata partition? Or would that not work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I'd just turn the tar command around to extract (c=create, x=extract);

(adb shell, cd /data, busybox tar xvf /sdcard/data.org.tar ./)

But if you didn't want to merge anything already there with what you are extracting then you probably want to add an rm -r /data/* in there and reboot at the end as system will likely be all confused until a fresh start...

I do not own a ZT-180 2 (I have the original), seems you have the 1231 build aka 0112_3 ROM (ROMs are usually dated by the date they are released to the public, not the kernel or build date, so yours was released on January 12th even though the kernel was compiled on December 31st).

Just unmount your SDcard before you try to install them, should work then.....

Hi, recently i bought my 1st tablet ZT-180 (512mb. 4G, 2.2). I rooted the device by using UnversalAndroot 1.6.1 with option of "Do not install SuperUser".

I tried to modify the TxPower by: Installed Root Explorer, on the parent folder, i'm able to change the R/O <-> R/W. However when i navigate to etc/Wireless/RT2870STA, i could not change the mode from R/O to R/W. In-fact, it seems like all the folders with the small title (beside folder name) of "rwxrwxrwx", i could not change to R/W.

I installed Root Checker and it indicates that I have Root Access.

Apologies that I'm very new to android and tablets... Did i miss any steps? Do I actually have root access?

Many Thanks.
