I seem to have 2.2 beta then but it is not the exact same?

Built number: zt-180-eng ASOP OPENMASTER eng.root.20101207.134903 test-keys.

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

root@android #2553

Should I try the beta that is available here as it seems a little newer?

Can I make a back up on the one I have to a usb stick or on to my computer?

Can I root Android 2.2 with "universalandroot" from iBeau dot net?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andreas7:
Hey guys!

I've just upgraded the fw from the official 1030 to 1126beta.

Everything works like a charm, but there's one thing I don't understand:

when the screen locks down and turns off I cannot wake up the tablet again, neither of the buttons work - just a blank, dark screen.

Did you experience this problem? Do you have a solution for that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tsukaza:
You can root the device using "universal and root" Z4 will hang, but there is a bug in the kernel so SU is generating a link_image error and preventing root explorer and terminal to work correctly. Other then that the Epad runs nicely, so far I am not going back to 2.1.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] islammanjurul:
can anyone please help me with one strange problem?

I cannot root my zt-180.

my first firmware was 101012 which rooted well using universal androot 1.6.1. after that I flashed to 101204 which did not root. so did a flash on 1126 beta mass storage one, but can't root. universal androot and z4root, nothing seems to work. I burnt the spl too. do you think burning spl is causing the trouble? is there any way to root the device? i know there is adb method but i think it will not work for me still. i need to find out the problem why my tablet is not rooting in any method. I also tried Shortfuse Superoneclick 1.5.5 which showed me a msg that my device was rooted but actually it did not, i tried rootexplorer but failed. i am in a big trouble!!! please help me out!!!!

tried the z4root, did not show any force close error, but the app remained in running exploit mode and no completion of rooting process, the app remained idle , so went back to the desktop, open root explorer, and found that rooting was not done.

also need some adb help, the device is showing using the "adb devices" command but i cant connect to the device using "adb connect ip:port", i double checked the wifi ip address and placed the right command, but get the msg "unable to connect" . now my firmware is 1204.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
Are they even making them anymore?

I see that Slatedroid no-longer has them in stock. I believe that anyone selling them is selling existing stock. If they are no longer being manufactured, then there is no financial benefit to them to continue support. You could say that they have a moral obligation to support their product, but this is China, and morals seem to be scarce in that area of the world.

ZT-180+(512mb, 4gb, hdmi, camera.....)

Tried updating the SU Binary but didn't work? says I have to go into recovery mode?

I tried rooting yesterday, says rooting OK but opening root explorer doesn't work, something with superuser?

Android market only works a couple of hours then I have to make a factory reset to make it work again!?

I am seriously thinking of installing the latest 2.1 rom which I think is 1204 or installing the Froyo 2.2Beta, would that work on my device?

Can I make a backup/copy of my Android 2.2 if I fail with the other roms?

Where can I download 1204 or Froyo 2.2 if I decide to try?

Cheers!

Has anyone experienced problems with TitaniumBackup on the ZT-180? It works fine on my Eken M001 and HSG X5A but is flaky on the ZT-180 to say the least.

I've been struggling for weeks with the issue of TitaniumBackup (TBPro) failing to backup apps, dispite being able to verify previous backups, install apps from a previous backup and copy backed up apps to dropbox. TitaniumBackup sometimes works when you first install it, but stops working on reboot. Occasionally after removing TitaniumBackup and reinstalling it backups are again possible.

I decided to install the latest ZT-180 1204 firmware updating just zImage and system.pack.img. This resulted in me loosing the TBPro key although it was installed TitaniumBackup would not recognize that it was present. Removing and re-installing the TBPro key app screwed up root -- not for the first time I might add. Once I'd re-established root using UniversalAndroot and rebooted a few time, TitaniumBackup allowed me to take a complete backup, verify it and copy it Dropbox. I updated a couple of apps and when I tried to get TitaniumBackup to back them up it hung.

The logcat (taken with alogcat) suggested that when backing up a list of apps TBPro uses ps to get a list of running apps so that it can kill/skip any that are running prior to backup. The ps command worked fine when TBPro took a complete backup, but did not complete when TBPro hung backing up a couple of new apps. I didn't reboot the ZT-180 during this process, so what is screwing up ps? I tried issuing ps from the terminal and it lists the processes but does not return control back to the terminal. I suspect that TBPro is hanging because the ps command that it issues never completes. This situation is permanent, i.e. rebooting does not change the situation, ps fails to complete and as a result TBPro hangs.

Anyone got a clue as to what might be going on, and how to fix it? Any help gratefully received.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmdaily:
Would like to say thank you to all of the devs on this sight. I have learned so much from here and I truly appreciate it. However the sight as a whole I just had a question. Why can this device not have a sub-forum? I cringe when ever i get on and need to find something that I remember reading in the 300 page thread. I try not to post since so not to exasterbate the issue but at the almost 300 page and 7 month old thread.... I just had to ask.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhood:
Endlessly. I've ended up with problems in every firmware release. When I flashed to 1030, and it worked flawlessly, and I was quite happy. Yesterday, I tried to restore a backup (that I had restored before without issues) and Titanium is locking up whenever I press "Restore". This is the behavior that I always end up with eventually with this software -- whether or not I use the system busybox, or the one that Titanium wants to download.

It's very disappointing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
That's what we all are wondering? It depends on the forum administrators to create a sub-forum. There's nothing we can do, except ask for it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] karlonicolas:
thanks so much for this.

just when i figured out last night that the adhoc mod in the thread applies also to 1204, by editing wpa_supplicant.conf in BOTH /etc/misc/wifi and /data/wifi (??),which will allow you to tether the zt180, without affecting the ability to detect and connect to other wifi networks (not at the same time of course), then this update comes along saying that ad hoc networking is already included. I hope that ad hoc is not the only thing new here.

does this have dual boot (it says eclair and or WinCE)?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atp_uestc:
And,and you can also flash other republish version only need flash xxx.boot files,even you won't flash any img(if it's from 1127 or older) and only flash the xxx.boot to support CE.CE it's stored at sdcard.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
In my previous post I outlined what appears to be wrong when TitaniumBackup (TB) either hangs at the start of a backup job or breaks down part way through a backup, which is what happened to me. The symptoms are that ps (list running tasks) fails to return control when issued from terminal. TB does have root priviledges so could posssibly overflow a buffer and corrupt part of busy box or some other system function. I've experienced this issue several times and been unable to recover without re-flashing the firmware. Armed with my new found knowledge that the ps command fails to complete, I decided to try re-installing busybox. The first problem I struck was that TB didn't recognise the presence of the Pro key, at this stage I usually uninstall TB and try again. However, this time I decided to check if the ZT-180 was still rooted. Superuser had granted TB root prviledges because it was in its list of approved apps, but when I removed the terminal emulator from Superuser, it could not get root priviledges. It looks like TB not only broke the ps command but broke root. This did not surprise me as I've often had trouble with root when TB hangs or is uninstalled and re-installed.

Re rooting proved a pain Z4 Root (1.3) took ages to attempt to root the ZT-180 before it rebooted the ZT-180, and even then it had failed to root the tablet. I knew that Unversal Androot would do the job but installs an old version of busybox that TB complains about. After rebooting, TB recognised the Pro key and terminal emulator got root priviledges OK, and the ps command terminated OK. Prior to trying a backup with TBPro I wanted to update the native busybox from 1.15.2 to 1.17.1 or higher. I used busybox installer (just busybox in Market) which worked fine on the ZT-180. Running TBPro I elected to let it install its preferred busybox (1.16.0), then tried to backup some new/updated apps and it worked. Conclusion: if ps does not terminate and hand control back to TB it hangs. Joel does not seem to be online at present perhaps he has exams or is sking but I'll email him an update and hopefully he can correct the problem in a future release.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wwilde:
use this:

adb devices (gives you device number)

then use as normal without TCP/IP cmd

though still wired..

Think it needs to be specified.

adb usb - restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB

adb tcpip <port>- restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
Someone who has tested, please clarify.

Does ADB work over WiFi in 0818 or not?

...if not, does it work over USB-OTG port instead, or is there NO adb access at all?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ateist75:
It works over OTG
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xllamas:
For me it kind of worked over OTG but hanged when doing install or push. So I connected over OTG, and changed to TCPIP by doing:

adb -d tcpip 5555

after that I could remove the cable and connect via WiFi

adb connect 10.0.0.101:5555

and then installs and pushes worked fine
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zdude2:
I can use adb devices and it works, I can adb -s deviceid shell, and it works but I can not push anything via OTG - can you? If so what are you doing to allow a adb push to occur. My unit just hangs forever. I've tried this using Mac, win xp and win7.

No sweat! Looks like this is a slight clean-up of some of the crap that was on 0804. I still can't get Market working - it is close but no cigar. It seems to be missing some app and freaks. Oh well, maybe another update in two more weeks :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I would have to call this generally the best yet of the 08xx builds... the touchscreen in the 0804 seemed a bit more accurate but as I tyically use a stylus it's hard to notice the difference... with fingers 04 is definitely less touchy :)

Overall system boots faster...

This is the first version I've been able to load Quadrant Benchmark to the point that I could actually run 'System Information' option and it does detect the GC600 video proc. but can't run Full Benchmark as hangs at 11/12 video decoding H.264 though tries to honor cancel and return but it must have been running in the weeds as the system is never the same till you reset/reboot...

They have cleaned up more than is obvious... things like autokiller that were never able to actually save their settings and have them start with them at next reboot actually do now...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
WARNING: Parts of 0818 cannot be undone!

First, did any one get Market to work? Can anyone even get Google Account to work? On 0809 I had my account fully working after pulling the ID from my G1. Market worked but would not actually download. Ever since I created RPM-Script and have been re-installing, I have never been able to get even the Google Account setup. It either says not provisioned or sometimes no network even though wifi is connected fine. Somebody please post a fool-proof way to get Google Account and Market working, in any FW.

So I went back and tried 0804 again, couldn't get Google Apps working again. Between build.prop, Market Enabler, and sqllite with my ID, I am doing something in the wrong order :(

WARNING: When I went back to 0804, I noticed the 2 things I hate most about 0818 persisted!!! How do I flash back???

1) You have to connect the OTG, then "adb tcpip 5555", then disconnect the OTG, and finally "adb connect {ip}:5555", and you have to do that EVERYTIME you reboot the tablet. This would be ok if you could just use adb via the OTG port, but file transfers do not work!

2) It seems like every time I reboot I have to turn WiFi off and back on for it to initially connect. I never had to do that before 0818, but now that I have installed it and gone back to 0804, the problem is still there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ayman07:

I'm a bit confused. Was it Z4 Root that ended up making TB work, or was it Universal Androot (which is what I use)? It looks like your TB is working, but I don't quite understand how to you got to that point.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I don't think the 1204 has mass storage, but I believe, and I could be totally wrong, if you flash the zImage from the 0113 Beta (can be found here - http://www.mediafire.com/file/dd220m1sjynwhjs/erlair_linux.rar) (place just the zImage in your /sdcard/zt-update folder, delete all other files in there and only place the zImage from 0113 in there, and then flash it on boot), you should be able to have mass storage after installing the correct driver (the HTC one or let your computer try to automatically find one). I am using the adb zImage and use Android Commander via adb over USB to view my files, but I think you want mass storage, being able to mount the tablet as an external drive in Windows explorer.

Again, I have no experience with mass storage, but from what I've read, I think that should work for you if you want to try at your own risk (risk being something goes wrong and you have to flash a complete ROM back on your tablet).....
