hi can sombody help me? my sd card just stoped working and no matter how many times i put it in it won't show on my z-180 please help me!!! thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Does the sd card work if put in adapter and viewed via PC? Does the ZT180 notice the card is inserted or removed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OpenMinded:
Gee's, turned out I inserted the wrong AndroidID.

So it is definitely important to have the right gmail-android Id pair :).

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Glad it's working now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OpenMinded:
me too!

I noticed that this darned mic is still not functioning!

so no soundhound, voice recorder etc etc.

Sigh. Does anyone know if this can be fixed and if so how?

The software seems to work pretty ok now, now for the hardware to work and we actually have a usable device :)

New custom system image based on 0929 firmware!

Ah, I couldn't resist! Here is my new system image based on 0929 firmware: new_system_cb.7z ("cb" would be my initials). Use 7zip to decompress it before burning.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/8bjgkyw3xesbzi8/new_system_cb.7z

Features included:

fix the blatant busybox mess (152 duplicates!) in the Zenithink image. Image size shrank by 120MB or so.

WiFi Txpower patch included (cures overheating Wifi modules)

absent Contacts/ContactsProvider.apk added (you need to get Google Maps from market!)

planted a known stable Dalvik VM (no JIT, but ARM11 optimized)

permanent US market fix in build.prop (no need for Market Enabler app)

added a working AutoMarket app, which allows editing of the Android ID (no RPMscript or adb commands needed).

replaced the Zenithink-supplied libreference-ril.so with the Android Emulator's unmodified version. This will show the reception bars correctly with my UMTS 3G stick, the Zenithink version only functions with EVDO modems on a Chinese network and crashes otherwise (NOTE: ril's TTY port is configured in /system/build.prop - modify as needed)

I recommend to set up your Google account on the device first and wait for Sync to occur before running AutoMarket. Then it's best to reboot after having planted your androidID. Run Market after reboot and let me know if it works for you (I cannot help you acquiring your own Android ID though). Do not forget to set date and time correctly, or Market downloads may not work.

It is safe to leave the IMSI number blank. I am not aware of any app using it, anyway.

TODO:

Future AutoMarket versions are supposed to pop up the dialog automatically (hence the "Auto"), but the feature is currently absent. I still have to learn some more Android programming to pull this off. Some localization of the English AutoMarket UI would also be nice. For working 3G (WCDMA) dialup you will need to create your own pppd dial scripts. I may write an app for this later on.

For anything else there's RPMscript, the ADB tool and the Android Market...

Caveat emptor: my image has been tested very little - you're the crash test dummies now. Report any inconsistencies please. No refunds. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lmemperador:
thx Christian. great work

Wow, amazing work! Wish I could check this out, but my tablet is in China for repairs. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
sheesh, stop quoting like there's no tomorrow! ;)

But you're welcome.

Hmm, AutoMarket needs a "backup to SDcard, restore from SDcard" feature. I hate typing 20 digit numbers, even on a hardware keyboard.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
I am unaware of any Arabic localization in the ZT-180. I think you'd prefer being an Apple customer this time...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Not sure if this will help you, but just ran a google search and came up with "Persian Browser" you can get in Market. Saw this here : http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=6fff6080d23b9448&hl=en.

Nevermind, just read it's for 2.2, sorry.

Any chance of fixing the AudioRecord issue? (sorry for harping on this, but I really would appreciate someone with experience fixing this!)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
android noob gets it working anyone can

Got my zt-180 today, ordered on amazon yesterday.

Received the 600 pixel version with 830 fw.

Right away updated to 929 (pretty savvy with windows mobile so i am used to fixing it right out of the box).

couldn't get the market to download (had to find out what market is first) re flashed three times, found a new system.img from my german friend CB (Austrian here) finally figured out what he meant by androidid (thought it was my gmail address for a long time)

Went and installed android sdk on mac (hackintosh of course) --> fought like a banshee to get the adb to run in terminal ---> after about an hour i figured out that i had to put ./ infront of adb so i did and it did and now everything is working like a charm.

The device definitly has room for improvement but it will do what i need (ebook, movies on planes, a little email and internet when bored)

Thank you Christian you are a wizard!

Good work Christian :D i cant wait to flash this onto my tablet! I half expect zenithink is busy as we speak ripping it up to fix there own ****ty work, its too bad they wont contribute anything to help the progress.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] <Laharl>:
I know right, My Tablet is also back in china but Merimobiles still hasn't contacted me telling me if they have it (even though usps online said it was delivered on October 1st) im getting a little worried that its lost somewhere
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kheeva:
Everything works perfectly Christian. Thanks for your work! Now zenithink will take it and break it somehow.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] robertsydbrink:
Just bought one and it shipped yesterday. Hope it will work out good and ill maby order one more (:

Looking at the specs and if it works well its just amazingly price worthy. I live in Sweden and the swedish krona is pretty strong atm so its cheap to import things.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] askalaw:
Thanks Christian, it work for my ZT-180, and now I'm very happy to download anything I need from market!!

But I find an issue when open some applications it will not follow the orientation it is and will rotated up side down, is it possible to fix that? since I found official 0929 firmware will not appear this issue.

Thanks

Aska
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
I noticed this on official 0929 (and previous versions, by the way) and it doesn't depends on the firmware but on the application it self. If an application is made specifically for portrait or landscape mode, it will always show with its up side on the same direction although you rotate the tablet.

How did you get a tracking number? I mailed mine USPS as well, but anytime I ship out of the US they say a tracking number is impossible (only within the US).

Google Street view requires an ARM Cortex A8 for the 3D rendering it seems and hence it refuses installation on the ZT-180. Same problem as with Google Earth actually.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
the one major risk is that customs confiscates, returns or destroys your device because it does not have the CE mark on it. and of course the unsolved warranty issue: what happens when the device is dead on arrival, or breaks later on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] msward3380:
Hi,

Firstly many thanks for posting this update, i was just about to give up on the Zenthink, errors, crashing, just not working properly.

Flashed with this one and NOT ONE error !

One small problem i am having maybe you can help me with, I goto acocunts and add a google account, put in my email and password and it says syncing may take 5 minutes then after a minute or so says it could nto get a proper data connection.

I have it plugged in using the hard wired cable, i can access my normal pop3 email and browse the internet perfectly, i did have it set up with this account before flashing so dont think its a device problem.

Any ideas much appreciated.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
And the problem did not go away when rebooting the tablet? Hmm, strange...

Occasionally some of Google's servers have hickups (market dowloads not starting or failing) which is not limited to our device - this could also have happened to some of the synchronization servers. After a reboot you will usually get assigned a different server (the tablet will issue a new DNS query). To make sure it's a really different server, you can also reboot your home router to flush its DNS cache.

Manny
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
I am not taking donations or money, mostly because I am aware of the iffy legal situation of including the Google apps. My motivation is to learn some Android programming and to tinker with a new OS.

Street view seems to work on my tablet ok, when i click on an address in Maps and then click on street view. I did have to try CB's img last night (got stuck on Android_) but for some reason it didn't seem to run smoothly on my tablet, and the About Device would auto close. It could be my tablet, it's very tempermental. I also told it not to flash my userdata partition, but I seemed to have lost all my programs and files anyway. So had to start from scratch, again, but everything is up and running again, unfortunately with all 4 of Zenithinks ROM files.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] big_hkkid:
I tried to flash with the firmware 0929 with CB's system.img. However, I got stuck at system.img loading in the burntool. After attempting for a few times, I gave up.

I don't know what happened to my ZT-180 because there are some people in the XDA successfully flashing with CB's file. I need to figure out tonite but if you have any idea, please let me know. Thanks.

P.S: I flashed from 0827 and used 1024x576 0929firmware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patmtp35:
be carefull the first i flash it i have same pb as you , you have to unpack the complete 929 firmware and replace the system img by the one from CB after set burntool and after flash it

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaligola:
so resuming newbie procedure must flash uboot, zimage, sistem image cb, and userdata image.

i did fresh and did not used any backup, than with market enabler added my google id, after half a day of using hard and a recharge i had only some issues limited to wifi.

about cpu speed and free ram do i need some options using 1.1 script?

Dalvik , rpm's DUM to ARM or other suff or it is ok without?

just to resume all procedure from first page.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] froggymike911:
I would make sure that it is unzipped, as I burned CB's image, no issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] froggymike911:
I had this as well... reflashed, when it asked how to complete the setup, i picked top, then one choice disappeared (i think the one i picked). I picked the top one again, went through setup with out setting up an account (set date/time). then settings, setup wifi, then setup the account and it worked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntah'ngoh:
After renaming CB's image to system.img, I flashed successfully. My tablet seems to respond faster with CB's image. Great piece of work CB for someone simply trying to learn Android programming.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] msward3380:
thanks for all the replys, tried rebooting, rebooted the router, still would not work.

Left it a while came back and just tried it and went straight in, must have been as you said a hiccup at Google.

Luv this firmware, i can finally use this thing, not a waste fo £150 after all
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] msward3380:
im gonna be a real pain here, sorry but one last problem

Run Auto market after i got the sync to work, sync definatly working ok as my contacts have come across but it gives an error.

'andriod.database.sqliteexception:cant start a transaction within a transaction"

am i being stupid and missing something ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] msward3380:
I was trying for over an hour with no lick, left it for a couple of hours and tried again then worked fine.

maybe Google are having some serious issues today.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patmtp35:
yes you could do like that , or just replace in the 929 the img by the one of CB
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
> andriod.database.sqliteexception:cant start a transaction within a transaction

argh, it's that error again. Hmm try rotating the tablet from landscape to portrait or vice versa. This will re-initialize the dialog, maybe the 2nd time over it will work.

should i try the and set up the the market the old way ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
Sure, RPMscript is still an option - it has a few extra options that my image does not provide.

Would anyone have an idea how we could get the provided Provisioning.apk to generate an Android ID? I got stuck at the "slide keyboard open" message - maybe we can somehow fake the event that this app is waiting for?

Hmm has anyone tried rotating the device that message is shown? In the emulator one is supposed to press Ctrl-F11 which is the equivalent of changing screen rotation. And on the early developer phone sliding the keyboard open would put the device in landscape mode.

I restarted the process from scratch and followed the instructions carefully. This time it worked as expected! I must have made a mistake somewhere. Thank you CB. You've sold a lot of Zenithink tablets.

************************************************************************************

I wish I could say I was successfully using CB's special system image to get the Market to finally work - it doesn't for me. :confused: I did have some trouble getting my google account in place because I didn't know how to get past the request to "slide open the keyboard". I finally managed to get all three of my gmail accounts in and synced up. My Android ID is based on one of those gmail accounts, and CB's AutoMarket tool worked great. When I run Market, it acts like it's just fine and shows me lots of things to download. But alas, the downloads start and never end. I may try burning it again and pray.

Bye. :cool:
