I'm looking to buy one of these, can someone give me a link as where to buy one from?? ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csbert:
Well, it is confirmed that it is not a Cortex, which is Arm v7, but is an Arm 11, which is Arm V6. So it is like a superfast iPhone 2G.

http://www.slatedroid.com/showthrea...180-Specifications-Faking-Not-ARMv7-A8-Cortex!

It is still a nice platform to develop on though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
but not for $300...

[EDIT]

might as well cash in on a $150 GT78, and develop on that...

spam 5m delay is utterly moronic...

You're doing a great job!

I have one, but I can't use it because of the chinese firmware which I doesn't understand....

hope some of you can post an firmware vesion soon so I can start using my device.

respect for the ones who can make the roms!

This Package includes:

-Usb_Driver

-WinCE

-Android2.1

-burntool

http://www.multiupload.com/BV5BEUWJ1K

Again I need to say, that is (so far as i know) not the Official Firmware.

This Android really sucks, i dont like it, only use it for informationfinding.

Do somebody already have a SDK Connection to the pad (PC<-SDK->PAD)

I need to know howto make a adb connection possible.

Thanks

I bought mine at vostrostone.com (and got it in 3 days from China!) but there are alot of sites out there...

check out slatedroid.com and look at the non-listed devices under the forum...

Is this Android 2.1 v1 (that came with the ZT-180) or something else?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xaueious:
I was curious as to what the device actually was.

From Hinagiku's prompting on QQ, I made threads on Slatedroid about the spec faking.

I am still unable to retrieve system files to actually further prove that thsiis indeed an ARM11 based processor. I have tried to use unyaffs on the system.img from my Linux partition. The system.img should be some variant of yaffs, as there's a file in the firmware pack that indicates that.

I was hoping to find out where and how JIT has been enabled, and possibly perform readelf on the libs.

Anyhow I really want a system dump.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sigson:
Tell me how to do a system dump and I will gladly help, I am used to WM devices so please bear with me until I "catch up" to Android.

How to flash the android onto zt-180?

Hi,

Have downloaded the firmware including the burntool but don't know what to do now.. above all, its in chinese..:(

Any help please.. btw the zt-180 is not recorgnized on otg or usb port with windows 7.. any ideas?

eric
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaiza1:
First:

Shutdown the Pad.

Then Press The Button on the Right site in front of the pad (there is only one?) and the Power Button at the Same Time. Then the device will be flashable and the light will be blue i think.

Then you Put the USB-Cable in, install the driver which is also in the package.

Now you can open burntool.

Device10 should be green.

Now jo goto Settings, and set uboot, kernel,sys-dat, udat

uboot: u-boot.img

linux-kernel:zImage_cui

linux-sys:system.img

linux-udat:userdata.img

Press the FIRST button from the left site to confirm the settings

Now press Start and the device should be starting to flash....

However sometimes the board hangs after flashing and will not start directly dont worry. If everything doesnt help, do a reset.

So iam not responsible again, this was the way i used and it worked.

I thinks its impossible to brick the pad, because you can flash it every time again. (throu ENTER+Power button mode).

I'll hope now you understand it

My Problem is now to get the SDK working, which usb port i have to use, to make a usb-sdk connection with the pad. The OTG Port isnt recognized in windows while Android is running, and i dont have a Cable to test USB to USB directly. Could that be possible? If anyone have the resources please test it, i need this information thanks

From all I can find related to similar devices this is what SHOULD be needed... But though 'Wifi Analyzer' sees my Adhoc Pegged at max signal the normal Wifi Scan still fails to see Adhoc/AndroidTether as available...

RT2870STA TxPower + Adhoc support Patch

=====================================================================

For the TxPower + Adhoc Patch...;

- Edit the /etc/Wireless/RT2870/RT2870STA.dat file..

- Make Change to lower TxPower to 20% + Change NetworkType to Adhoc...

adb connect Tablet-IPADDR:5555

adb -s Tablet-IPADDR:5555 shell

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

# Edit file for TxPower as below..

#The word of "Default" must not be removed

Default

CountryRegion=5

CountryRegionABand=7

CountryCode=

ChannelGeography=1

SSID=AndroidTether

#NetworkType=Infra

NetworkType=Adhoc

WirelessMode=5

Channel=0

BeaconPeriod=100

# Full 100% Power

#TxPower=100

# 20% TX Power Runs Much Cooler and better perf

TxPower=20

#

BGProtection=0

TxPreamble=0

...

- Edit /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to to contain ONLY

# Globals

ctrl_interface=ra0

update_config=1

eapol_version=1

ap_scan=2

fast_reauth=1

# ad-hoc network with None.

mode=1

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=1

}

# Wildcard No Security Network

network={

scan_ssid=0

mode=0

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=2

}

But maybe a good start for the next guy trying... or maybe for someone else it will just work as expected... Please keep us in the loop on any progress...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
I have tried to Tether to my G1 as well with no luck. I too see my AndroidTether in WiFi monitor programs, but not in settings, and the WiFi programs try to connect to it but never succeed.

That file greatly confuses me though. All of those setting are typically found on a WiFi router, and typically not found on a WiFi adapter. An adapter shouldn't have to chose between AdHoc or Infra, it should be able to connect on any channel, and AFAIK an adapter doesn't have a preamble, a beacon, or an SSID. Even TXPower is typically set for a router not an adapter, but that one does at least make sense both ways.

I'm just not sure that file does anything at all. I might even try deleting it and seeing if WiFi still works. Can't we check last-access date or something to see if the system ever even reads from that file?

EDIT: No time to try this tonight, but maybe someone else can and report back...

you can connect your android device to a known ad-hoc network.

edit /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = <your_network_ssid>
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0

edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2

if that is too simplistic, see these instructions.

hi all, i'm considering buying one of these. but i'm only going to do so if someone other than the 'manufacturer' is going to be making roms for them since it looks like they are doing a piss-poor job at doing it themselves.

has anyone managed to make a custom rom for this? is it possible? would love to have a cyanogenmod running on it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
Thanks for the input here...It is interesting to look at all the suggested configurations of teh wpa_supplicant.conf file and the config for the wifi board and they are many for sure.

In my wpa_supplicant.conf file on the Enso ZT180 and on my Odroid T, there are a hundred lines of "examples" of various settings but the only active lines of code are only a couple with small variances between the two devices (The Odroid T uses a Broadcom combo wifi bluetooth chip). Here are the only lines in my ZT180 file that are not commented out with the '#"

update_config=1

ctrl_interface=ra0

eapol_version=1

ap_scan=1

fast_reauth=1

Also, the "Tiwlan" ideas I understand come from certain android devices (phones) that use the Texas Instruments (ie "ti") wifi chip.

What are we missing here???? Mi wifi Buddy program also sees my adhoc MightyRom wifi full strenght but of course can not connect.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SonicPLD:
Is there a way to mount/unmount devices, do hardware reconfigurations, etc like in linux console inside android ?

or .. is there a way to run above it linux applications, and how ?

because so far Adnroid look not bad, but above a tablet - it look like phone OS. nothing more.

If there is someone to install Linux with working X console this would be more than greath.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
I don't understand how the Odroid-T could be a "ZT-180"... the CPU board looks nothing like the one in our device (http://www.hardkernel.com/productsodroidt.php) ...but welcome ;)

Custom Firmware: Yes, people are making custom firmware. So far no body has been able to create an actual firmware file for newbs to flash (can't figure out the .bin file structure), but we have done a ton of work by moding existing firmware through ADB commands. I believe I could adb pull my /system dir, then others could asb push it after a remount. I am going to try this on my friends Tablet this after noon and will post my current "firmware" if it works.

The last post isn't that bad an idea really. I always thought I wanted and Android tablet (or a Win7) but I would definitely be willing to give a Linux build a shot on this. Can someone make Debian for it or something? (I'm really not a linux guy, so I wouldn't know where to start). Maybe we could all run Ubuntu on this eventually.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
Rpm....sorry for the confusion....not similar at all. I was only comparing the wpa_supplicant files and how short they both were and similar with hundred lines of comments. Otherwise, the T is light yesrs away.

hi guys

i have a htc fuze and i been tring to conect my zt-180 to it , i mean

get internet true it

i try with wifi shairing and usb from the same wm6.5 and

with wmwifirouter still not able to make it work

am i doing something wong or just cant be done...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SonicPLD:
I'm more than happy that someone voting about my idea :D

So far my researches drop me up to this

http://arm-netbook.alioth.debian.org/

where actually have a pre-builded distor of Debian for arm 11 tablet.

anyway it's not out touch=screen and so-on, and maybe it wont work as u expecting, but

look deeple and u will find this archive : ct-pc89e-firmware.tgz

where for sure have a treasures to be used.

Now it's time for Linux minds to work i think, this is not my area for sure, but i really would like to see Debian runnin on this, and this would be so cool, because noone else have it. ( at least ) and noone else tried it ( again at least ) :D

How did you guys get GMail and Market and Accounts/Google Sync working?

I pushed the CM5 GApps add-on over, and was stuck at the setup like others. I removed SetupWizard.apk to solve that problem. When I try to open Market, or add a Google Sync account through settings, or open GMail, or open GTalk... I get an FC on the GoogleApps process. How did Drew and Willo (and others?) fix this?

Also... I posted this before: Has anyone tried this ARM 11 Optimized stuff: http://www.slatedroid.com/pandigital...dvm-w-jit.html

...but now people are saying we have an ARM5 Rev 6, so we probably shouldn't use that... right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
I downloaded the goolgeaps.zip.... when you say "push it over" can you explain? Are you pushing each app and file or the entire zip? In either case, then what directories do they go in... Sorry for the silly question. I do understand adb and push / pull etc. Also, I have been using ddms after connecting and using the file manager in that interface. Do you use that to move files back and forth or just the command line actions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jtbnet:
I've tried a few of the different firmwares... the latest 0809 lost out due to touch accuracy being poor... memory usage up... perf suffering from the 0804...

I'm currently running with the 0804 firmware + the Samsung ARM11 optimized libdvm and it's been the best for me so far...

Once rooted we can all clean up the useless apps by ourselves... but currently we are still locked to the original provider for the basic built functionality till we reverse engineer the build as they don't want to make it available it seems...then we can build it from scratch ourselves...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] <Laharl>:
I ordered my Tablet from merimobiles do you think they could get the files we need to root this thing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
That's what I'm running too. I just installed 0809 on my friends. I pulled my system and data and tried to push it over 0809 and it would not boot. I tried the same thing again but first removed any file I did not update from the pulled system and it still wouldn't reboot. I guess the FlatComputing guys were right... there seems no easy way to clone a tablet once you configure one. The best part about 0809 is that there is no Cell-Strength=0 icon on the top all the time :) I plan to upgrade my unit and re-do all my mods, then try to save/reflash/restore it until I can figure out a way. Then I will upload my files and instructions here.

To newbs: You unzip it and push all the files. You can do the whole dir in one command line. We already have root, we don't have a way to dis/re-assemble the 4 .bin files that make up the firmware.

few questions

Hi guys,

Ive using my TC desire now and love the android system. Therefore after some research on the ZT-180 i just ordered one.

But i have some additional questions;

Which firmware is be advised to use? The CB one or the new 1014 from zenythink or a combination?

Is there a list of compatible 3G modules, im looking at a qualcom unit on dealextreme.

DId someone get a webcam working and the MIC, because i read there where lots of troubles to get this working.

Last question, or remark, I kknow bluetooth isnt working yet, My guess is taht the necessary Android libs arent packaged in the zenythink rom to use buetooth? But i will test this as soon as my tablet arrives.

Thanks in advance

support of market is already inside 1013, google maps can be downloaded from market.

touchscreen works fine, why to calibrate it, calendar_clock is not important.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] game #1:
dear friend!

when i got my zt-180 i had 0826 firmware, i flashed 0929 and market ain't worked, then 1013 came in and i got it flashed my zt and now i'm happy, market works perfect, i did some magic to enable flash 9.0 playback in browser, but it seeems like a bad idea, coz only ads are on 9.0, other thngs like movies and music use 10.1 flash, so it's fully yourr decision to install flash.

os, in sum we got next: flash your new arrived zt with 1013 or greater rom, dont forget to check wht resolution zt180 screen is.

Hi game,

I think i also go fo the 1013 or 1014 firmware. But do you have problems using wifi with those firmwares?

reagrding your flash issue, you could use skyfire browser. Flash should be integrated with it. Im not for sure if this works for you.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manimore:
I have to say i tried both new ones and they are much buggier and slower then 0929 with cb custom image so i am sticking to that. Most notable i watched a video on bloomberg with skyfire (sorta flash) and it went fine 0929 and kept hanging on 1013 and 1014.

Also the memory usage for some reason is terrible in 1013

no wi-fi issues, for me, everything works perfect.

screen

I noticed that there seems to be a gap between my screen and what ever the plastic cover that makes up the surface of the tablet. I don't know how it is "layered" with the lcd etc. My question is, it seems like the sensitivity is inhibited by the plastic cover and what ever is underneath (the lcd?).

Has anyone taken that part of it apart, and if so is the "screen" more sensitive if you touch directly on it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insight3fl:
Another interesting thought about this bluetooth keyboard donge thing, is the fact that as soon as you plug it in, a "mouse" arrow appears just like plugging in a keyboard. This happens even before activating the bluetooth keyboard device. How does the tablet know that this "usb device" you just plugged in is going to be used with an HID?

It seems then, there must be some type of communication with the dongle and the tablet in nothing else but that it will only be used for an HID.... does that make any sense?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wasserkapf:
I have been looking into how Bluetooth works in Linux. And since Android runs on Linux, this should be applicable.

When inserting a Bluetooth dongle, the default mode is HID. That is when it thinks it is a mouse. There is a Linux tool named hid2hci that switches it to/from HID to HCI mode. Although it can be run manually, most Linux distros have udev scripts to automatically perform this function. This tool seems to be missing.

It appears that each Linux distro has different scripts to perform this. Since Android is a beast all it's own, I'm not sure how it would would be done on Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Llewellyn_ll:
My tablet got this gap too. The touchscreen is a resistive on. So I think this layer is a part of the touchscreen technology and should not be removed. I havent got any other experiences with this kind of touchscreen so I dont know if this gap usually exists but I guess it does.
