i noticed that the os much more faster than before, but i have a strange issue with the battery. my zt180 v2 say that connect to the charger, and when i plug the battery level jump up to around 70-80% from 10% instantly. the device charge up to 100% and i unplug the charger, the battery level dropped down to 86%. i plug in the charger again and the level up to 100% again. i wait an our and disconnect the charger the battery level is 92-95%, but i never manage to 100%.

i really dont understand this... i try to delete batterystats.bin but no help.

Hello again.

As I said 2 pages before, i cant operate my epad.

Everytime I try to run an app the same error appears "the application has stopped unexpectedly" so i cant do anything.

I tried to flash the epad following the guides omarahum told me, but I couldnt.

It seems that the epad isnt rooted, that's the reason why I cant flash a new firm?

Please, help :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
You need to be a little more specific, give all the details that you can, what isn't working and when (when you try flashing the firmware)? Which ROM are you trying to flash? How are you flashing the tablet?

You don't need to be rooted to flash firmware.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adladl:
Firmware version:

2.1 -update 1

Kernel Version:

You told me that I should use burntool 7.41 first to burn the spl, but is impossible. I've tried in 2 different computers with different USB because they didnt work. I dont know what to do now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starfighter1948:
You might want to make sure you have the right zImage and zImage_adb files installed. As Gianluca points out on the Slatedroid ZT-180 0524 rom board "zImage and zImage_adb: from the folder corresponding to your device and battery type (the files with "batt35" for devices where you leave battery IC untouched, and the files without "batt35" for devices which you opened and removed the battery IC." If you did flash the wrong files just re-flash with the replacements.

starfighter1948
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Ok, so you are having trouble with the burntool.

What is impossible? Again, you give no details. What goes wrong? And which ROM are you flashing to?

Did you put your tablet into flashmode (holding the round button in front and then the power button for 2-5 seconds) to turn it on (screen should be dark), then attach it to the computer via the OTG USB and then install the secbulk driver when your 32 bit windows computer prompts you to? After the secbulk is installed, the next time you attach your tablet in flashmode to the computer, device10 in burntool should be green allowing you to flash the tablet, but first you should go into settings and link all the downloaded ROM files to the correct locations in settings.... Again, burntool v 7.41 should be used to flash a ROM that came out between the 1126 Beta and the 0324....

hi

i flashed with the no F version, because my model type is H, i downloaded from the zenithink.com download page. the F version is not suitable for my tablet, so the only option the no F version ROM and this is contained batt35. i dont know my tablet have a battery IC or not, i cant open it because i lost the guarantee.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I could be wrong, but I think all boards have the reset IC, so you should use the batt35 kernel by default. It's only if you opened up the tablet, and removed the reset IC yourself, then you use the other version of the kernel.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adladl:
I've done that multiple times, but everytime that tries to flash SPL, it fails, then it gives me the option of installing it from SD card, I plug in the SD card with the files, it start flashing, and fails again with SPL.

By the way, what does SPL stand for?

I have been working on a custom rom based on the 5-3-11 release from this link, and I will say that the performance has been drastically increased.

On a different note, I don't want to say "TLDR", but 355 pages is a bit to read to try and get caught up. Is there anyone currently working on a custom rom for this tablet at this site? I have a few things I've done that I would like to contribute as well as a couple questions someone might be able to answer.

slooooow

I just got the v2 (512/4GB). Wow, this thing is slow.

I got it mainly for browsing web. Wi-Fi on. It takes forever just to start loading a page, not to mention loading a page. So I thought setting static ip and DNS to OpenDNS might help. Nope. I tried stock Browser and Opera Mini. Same slowness.

Mine is stock, but I did root it.

Here is what I get from "About device:"

Android version

android_2.2

Baseband version

unknown

Kernel version

2.6.32.9

root@android #3477

Build number

zt180-eng AOSP OPENMASTER eng.root.20110425.120935 test-keys.

Is there another ROM older or newer that is faster? My rooted motorola droid smokes this thing.

Also, found the Flash .apk as per their instructions, installed it, but when I go to a page with flash, the epad freezes and I have to reset it with a paper clip...

Thank you,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bracca:
ok, flashed the latest zenithink.com ROM for non-F model numbers and it is much better as far as browsing speed. Youtube app works great and fast.

It now says kernel #4011 and in the build number it has 20110503.

The thing is UniversalAndroot_1.6.1 can't root it anymore. I was going to do the Txpower tweak.

Anyway, much happier with the device now.

Hopefully root will be done soon and hopefully the smart people can make nandroid or clockworkmod recovery and custom roms so backing up ROMs and testing new ones will be easy.

Netflix

I recently purchased the V2 version of ZT-180. I've been trying to get Netflix to work but I have not had much luck. Anybody here been able to get it to work? Please let me know if you did. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bracca:
Panikos, thank you! That worked.

For the total beginner, change the busybox command mentioned in the link from Panikos so that the location points to the su you copied to the USB stick. For example, for me, when I stick the USB stick into ZT-180, its root is /mnt/sdcard/sda/sda1 and since I copied the 3 provided files to the root of the USB stick, the two busybox commands should like this:

busybox cp /mnt/sdcard/sda/sda1/su /system/xbin/su

busybox cp /mnt/sdcard/sda/sda1/su /system/bin/su

Is it possible to install HTC

sense on the ZT-180 V2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Banyon:
Short answer, No.

Long answer, I've seen sense ported to many different roms, but this tablet has very little custom rom development going on for it right now. It isn't something you just "install".

Some times it's not the hardware but the software or ROM that works well the zt 180 is good on paper but not a galaxy tab and my zt180 v1 put me right off it because you need proper support like cm to do a ROM and not release time that are only half finished ( wo sounds like my HTC desire hd but hey leedroids there to fix it) , we need some kind of support, and proper ROM managment system. But as we are a few we won't , still it makes a great coffee mat

Hi there,

Am I right that V1 (or all the others) does not charge via USB?

Is ADB the best or the only way to see its nand or the flash card from windows?

Yes, simply use another SD card or format it on other PC or even with Linux. That's assuming you're currently using an SPL and boot able to update from SD card.

hal_9000

As I understood you have experience in programming for ZT-180, so at first I appeal to you.

My friend is buying a USB2LAN adapter to use it with ZT-180-701.

In Windows the adapter are determined as “JP1081 USB2.0 To Fast Ethernet Adapter”.

A file comes with the adapter: "jp1081_android.tar.gz" (link to fileshare - "www-multiupload-com/6VXNWG1MZ3" - sorry, I put dashes instead dots).

The archive contains next files:

jp1081_android.o.d

jp1081_android.c

jp1081_android.h

Makefile

README (in Chineese)

Please read the README and advise if it possible to compile driver for the tablet and explain how to make the adapter to work on ZT.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hal_9000:
I'm sorry, but have not many experience on programming for Linux at that level (when programming for Android you use Java at a higher level, except if you use NDK). I think that the driver could work as long as you compile it for ARM and with the correct environment. I recommend you to go to SlateDroid and ask advise from a more experienced user at this level, such as rezmus. Good luck.

I might be wrong but the fstype of these partition is yaffs2. I am not sure if the cranfsck util will work. I checked on other sections, people said the easiest thing to do is to create an emulation, flash your img, and make change, then make the image.

I am not sure if you know, you can make the /system writable by:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

On the vogue, their installation script simply take a tar of /system and /data. Then erase the two partition and copy the files over. This maybe the way to go because it is easy and simple.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
On Normal system and data images for a cell phone or emulator I can unyaffs existing images... Unfortunately I can't the flash images for the ZT-180 so seems that there is again something not so standard about the utils and .img formats used here...

I agree & cannot extract any ZT-180.img files,

I can extract any other .img but not this one, & as for "Superblock not found error" & after some research I'm lead to believe is is encrypted with Public/Private key.

So again... no body has been able to get market to download right? Has anyone got market enabler to do anything? I can't even sync with it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csbert:
The instruction I wrote is for extracting the image for flashing using the burn tool, not the utils that came with android sdk. The img for use with the burn tool is a straight bit by bit copy.

Here is the dump of /system

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wwilde:
Oh Ok im still learning, so In a sense we could modify the system via Pushing/installing via ADB then getting "Hopefully" Market working & other Mods then pull the .img out for distribution?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csbert:
Yes. It makes it easier to publish the mod.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Yes, I had pulled and posted a full system dump at one point but it wasn't a .img that could be flashed... just a .zip as an archive of files...

PS. These tablets are Sweet!... Darn near impossible if Not Impossible to Brick! I had my burning XP system crash in the middle of a flash and one of my tablets seemed bricked... but switched to another system I had and reflashed fine... I tried to flash a modified partition image leaving room for a recovery partition... I had messed up the math on sizes at the least... thought it was bricked again... flashed 0818 again and I'm back to a happily working tablet...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
Sure we could publish a bit-for-bit copy using 'dd' of our partitions but that doesn't help re-partition so we can use a recovery image to restore in future as bit-for-bit wouldn't be same size... Also have you tried flashing a bit-for-bit copy taken from a partition back to same partition using the burntool ?? Many folks would like to use the simplest method as not technical... to me that would be a single flash to repartition and then a use recovery tool to backup, restore or install a new image ???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csbert:
I am not sure what you mean. the /system folder is mount on mtdblock0. Unless the guys at zt change the size of the partition in their kernel, it will stay the same size. A 64MB block device will produce a 64MB bit by bit file.

Of course I did. That's why I wrote up that instruction.

If you don't believe me, try out this one. I changed the auto mount to mount the usb as sdcard as my sdcard is not working. You only need to flash system.img. It may hang at 95% but that is ok because the trailing bits are null anyway.

http://www.mediafire.com/?dh5c77y6owrdys5

I am not sure what do you mean by the recovery tool. If you mean the one in the HTC phones, I think it needs a working mini linux distro that can run the recover operation. That reside in uboot which is a great mystery to me. It would be nice if we can hack up something like that but I think you then need to know the boot sequence of this chip. There is no documentation for it that I am aware of. Also you need to compile the kernel which we don't have drivers for the imapx200 chip.
