dd of course not to sound like a wanker but i'm astounded i didn't i think of trying that earlier. i use it every day on a hackintosh project.

dd'ing the internal rom to usbdsk by a simple commandline would be the most thorough way of creating an exact image you couldn't f**k up.

1 line produces 1 exact file, job done.

if you have su rights you could probably do this via a terminal emulator and not have to use adb, am i right?

Many have noticed there is a bit of a pain to getting adb to connect after the 0818 update.

Since going to 0818 I plug mine in to my winxp vmware, drop to prompt, type adb devices

it reports connected to 0123456789acbd or whatever i type

adb -d tcpip 5555

that disconnects the usb and reinitializes the tablet to listen in tcpip (wifi mode) and then i reconnect on

adb connect 10.20.30.13:5555

I found the rather round abut way on another forum but i like it because it works every time on 0818 and i'm paranoid i'm going to kick the cable out mid firmware.

At first I though it was the yaffs2 image as well. But after looking at the hex dump, I saw lots of plain text in it. It looks a lot like a tar file. So I did a dd on the flashed system and they look the same :-)

adb is part of the ramdisk comes with the kernel. So I think if you want to change it, you need to recompile the kernel and the ramdisk. This is at the linux layer. It is trickier that monkey with stuff on the android layer.

Fully Working Market!

EDIT: Get v1.0 now.

I finally did it. Market is working. I used it to download many apps including Maps update, and my only paid app (from my phone). All is working perfectly. Talk works. YouTube works. No warnings of any type and it runs fast (download AutoKiller and set to 'Moderate' to keep it fast).

EDIT: Updated version here.

RPMScript v0.5 for ZT-180 ePad devices.

STEP 1

------

Follow This Guide to get a Google ID (one from an existing device may not work):

http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fix_Market_For_Slates

Basically you create an Android 1.6 'avd' in the Emulator on 1.6 and copy the system.img file in to the 'avd' folder. Then you run it, click market, setup your Google Account, and exit. Finally you run this command to get your new Google ID:

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db "select * from meta";

Make note of your Google ID

STEP 2

------

Flash the 0818 image.

Boot up device, connect OTG port, run 'adb -d tcpip 5555'

Make note of your device IP (after connecting via WiFi or Ethernet dongle)

Place my script in a sub-folder of 'adb.exe'.

Run my script as follows:

RPMScript {device-ip} {Emu-GoogleID}

After it is done, hold Power for 10 seconds and release to hard-reset.

STEP 3

------

Boot up. Do not touch the Android. Wait for at least 60 seconds.

If you are ever asked to grant super permissions, allow it. Click 'Wait' for anything.

Touch the 4 corners of the black box (from upper-left, clockwise).

Wait another 60 seconds.

Run Market, and setup your Google Account.

Wait until it is done syncing (5-min).

Run Market Enabler. Hold: (us) T-Mobile. Click "Fake Provider".

Reboot. All should be working!

Go in to Market and Download AutoKiller, Startup Manager, TasKiller, and/or something else to keep your system running fast. Devs should download adbWireless too. Facebook from Market works with photo-sync (add account under settings just like Google). Download whatever you want... finally!

DOWNLOAD

-----------

http://www.mediafire.com/file/s0t0y2ba90ghaas/RPMScript0.5.zip

NOTE: After reboot, before making your google account, you will have to give it your key again with the command below (In the next version I will have to make 2 scripts I guess, you must reboot with GApps installed before installing the key. Maybe I can do 'sh' scripts that run from adb shell instead of .bat, all off of sdcard).

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "update meta set intvalue='YOUR-ID-HERE' where name='androidId';"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Great! Thanks. :)

Could you explain the steps to have the Market working without using the script? I really appreciate your work, but I don't want to end with a desktop full of non-working icons and I rather prefer to select what to add or what to delete. ;)

Thanks again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
If you do not want my ADWLauncher desktop, just delete the /data/data directory. You don't really need anything in DATA at all. Open the .bat file and it is pretty obvious what the script does. (You could also use ADW Settings to backup before running my script, then restore after.)

NOTE: It may sit at 0% for a while especially over WiFi (I was just about to say it only worked when using the Ethernet dongle, but while typing it downloaded 2 queued apps over WiFi, so this is really working for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
Ok.

I've been reading the .bat file and, as you said, every step is obvious. I think that, in addition to not copy the desktop data, I'll make some more modifications, like change the part "[2/3] About to remove extra apps that should not be part of SYSTEM..." to not delete the applications (or not all of them at least) but instead move them to "/data/app".

I have a 7" upad zt-180 having flashing issues. It was apparently flashed to latest 0613 FW, but it sticks at "Android..." and does nothing.

I've used several SD cards (all freshly partitioned [primary] formatted [fat32]) with zt-update folder. The flashing moves along & I get no prompts (I read that user can select "1").

The screen moves too fast to read everything, but I see errors involving "inand" and "mounting" something to sdcard failing.

So...do I need to repartition/format internal memory??

My Linux skills are limited to mucking around with Unix in the early 90s, so I really need some help if command prompt action's needed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Edit: Just watched a video of a correct FW Flash, and see that my Flashing is not copying over files to the System Partition/Memory portion. Suggestions/help please?

can any1 write the understandable manual how to upgrade firmware from sdcard.

when i try to upgrade i don't know what to do with system.tar.bz.

i put ztx.boot, zimage, zimage_adb, system.tar.bz, clear_data_part, zImage_update files in zt-update directory and it only flashes zimage, after that i got not working wi-fi and lock screen (becomes all white).

drivers work for windows x86, not 64 bit.

spl: C:\Documents and Settings\Kat\Desktop\Neville Epad Firmware\u-boot.img

spl should be zt_Bx.spl

all u need to flash new firware via burntool is ZT_Bx.spl, ZT_Bx.boot, zImage, userdata.pack.img, system.pack.img, boot.logo.

it's for 0503 version, for newer with zimage_update files, u need flash new spl,

it's all in readme.doc file.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
The burntool v7.41 should be set up like this -

Burntool Settings

uboot-spl - ZT_Bx.spl

uboot-img - ZT_Bx.boot

linux-kernel - zImage

linux-sys - system.pack.img

linux-udat - userdata.pack.img

You should rename your zImage to just zImage (not zImage_1024x600).....

yes i did reflash a rom.

the internal storage was blank but i was trying to reflash it the wrong way,i was copy and pasting the files into the zt-update folder but that is wrong you have to unzip the files into the zt-update folder on your sd card then put it in the tablet and that works so i updated it to the latest firmware it is a lot quicker.:):):)

Seems you have the 0803 ROM from last year on your tablet, which was made for the original 10" ZT-180 (Ruby/B0 board).....

So anything for the 256MB RAM/2GB nand tablet on the Zenithink web site or anything B0 & nand on the FTP should work for your tablet......
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RavenZwei:
I've been shopping around for a 10" Android Tablet to play around with. Didn't want to spend much, because quite frankly, I've got too many gadgets as it is. Decided on the ZT-180, mainly because I could get it quite cheap. Here's the specs on the one I bought...

Processor: High-performance 1 GHZ CPU

OS: Google Android 2.2

Memory RAM: 512MB

Flash Memory: 4GB (3GB available to user) (Expandable by Micro SD card up to 32GB)

WiFi: 802.11 b / g

Got it for 150. Looking forward to dredging through this thread to find good info, lol. Any particular posts I should pay attention too? Also, anything I should pay particular attention too or anything in particular I should do when I receive it?

What does it mean B0 & nand??? And on what FTP?

Thanks a lot again for your great help...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
There are several versions of the ZT-180 tablets out with (the same CPU but) different boards inside. The main ones are:

ZT180_B0 10 inch v1 256MB RAM/2GB Nand storage (green pcb)

ZT180_E3 7 inch v2 256MB RAM/2GB or 4GB Inand storage (green pcb)

ZT180_G0 10 inch v2 512MB RAM/2GB or 4GB Inand storage (blue pcb)

ZT180_G1 10 inch v2 256MB RAM/2GB or 4GB Inand storage(cost down)

ZT180_G2 10 inch v2 512MB RAM/2GB or 4GB Inand storage (green pcb)

Zenithink's ZT-180 FTP site is ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180

All the beta ROMs are there, but the files are scattered in different folders. You can find the system image in the android folder, the one in the nand folder is for the B0 (Ruby) boards, and the one in the inand folder is for the 7" & 10" v2's (E3, G0, G1, G2) (7" is a Cameo board, 10" v2s are Jade). Ruby, Cameo, and Jade is what's written on the board inside the tablet for identification. Then there are the boot / kernel / update folders that contains the other files you would need. There is also a readme folder for instructions, NK folder for WinCE system image, and then recently they released part of the source code in the source folder, which contains the tools you would need and a txt file of where to download the actual source code files (https://github.com/atpboy444/ZT-180). You should download all the files you would need by the folder name/date, for the B0 boards, the latest is 0603. The code just recently got released, so there aren't many custom ROMs out for the ZT-180 tablets...

Since you have such an old ROM on your 10" Original ZT-180 tablet, you will first need to use the burntool v7.41 to flash a complete ROM (1126 Beta - 0324/0328) to allow for sdcard flashing ability, then you can flash the latest 0603 ROM via the sdcard.

These SlateDroid threads may help you:

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/18741-new-zt-180-v1-256mb2gb-22-rom-0603/

and of course you can check out the ZT-180 Original 10" wiki I've been trying to keep somewhat up-to-date:

http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wiki:ZT-180_FAQ

The 0613 ROM is the latest on the Zenithink Download page (http://www.zenithink.com/Enews_92.html). There is a updated 0618 kernel and update on the FTP, which only changes the filesystem from ext2 to ext4.

What does the model number on your 7" say? If it has a number lower than the 0613 that is installed on your tablet, your vendor may have updated it without flashing the ZT_E3.spl file which is necessary for ROMs above 0603 to function properly (you can get it in the 0603 folder on the ftp). Many people say their 7" works a lot better after flashing the spl file, but the free RAM issue does slow things down a bit. Many people use a swap file or partition to make more free RAM available and use a Startup Manager to block apps from starting up at boot which is not needed.....

Hope some of that helps.......... :)
