Could you comment more on HOWTO: 'Flash the Boot Dual Kernel & both kernel' ? Please...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Steppenwolf23:
Oh yes please. I didn't get it to. When I tried, sometimes it seems to work but then the screen was frozen. Please write an easy How to for people with less intelligence like me. :eek:

Hmmm, do you know which zImage it's included in? There are several with the beta - ftdi.rar, mass_only_sd.rar, cp210.rar (5.75 MB), cp210.rar (5.88 MB), or in all of them?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
Hey Hal:

What is the usb adb and is there a way to flash it without destroying everything that I have already done to the os?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i have research the 1126 and found out that once you flash it you cannot revert back to 1030 because it is just a test firmware. is there a way to flash the mass storage kernel and use the 1030 firmware. my machine is taking forever to boot and i was thinking about changing everything anyway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
also i was wondering if there is a way to free up the ram overall. the very best i can get with everything shut down is 84 and I am suppose to have 256! Surely the OS isn't using all of that extra ram!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Well any official ROM that comes out after the 1030 won't be able to revert back because they changed the layout of the nand partitions.

Well 64 is reserved for video, so out of the 192 left, having 44% free is pretty good in my opinion, and on my tablet things usually only slow down when the cpu is too busy or the free memory goes below 28 mb. BTW, did you remove AmazonMP3? A lot of people say removing that improves the 1030 a lot....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i was finally able to get it to uninstall just now, for some reason it wouldn't show up in any of my removal programs or in the root manager. but i finally got it gone now hopefully. i also purchased startup manager and am trying that out right now. it does seem to boot up faster. One thing I have noticed is that I cannot reboot the system in any way without having to reboot it a second time to get android to load. it is weird. i will use shut down or any of the root reboot options and when it comes back on it will never get past the dot matrix android screen. it will freeze before the android animation. then i have to manually shut down and reboot. then it will come back up fine and startup manager is helping a lot as far a booting up the os.

as far as the 1126, is it better performance wise than 1030. i know it is just a beta but is it worth installing? and how do i get the mass storage kernel seeing that I don't use emulatation so there is no real need for adb.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
In my opinion, the 1126 beta is a lot better, especially having the screen totally shut off in screen timeout, but flashing the boot and spl can be dangerous if not flashed correctly. I am using the original overclocked boot and spl (from 1008 to 1056 Mhz) on my Ruby 1.2 board tablet and things seem much more responsive, but many other people (specificall ones with 1.3 boards) says the overclocked one messes up their tablet and had to use the double_boot_kernel boot and spl to get it working correctly again.

ZT 180 10.2" Android 2.1

Hi guys, my first post here & I hope I've come to the right place. I recently purchased a couple of the ZT 180 10.2" Android 2.1 tablets on eBay & I'd like to know how to delete the user data. Facebook, email accounts etc.. I've tried dragging them to the trash can, but it doesn't work. Reset button does nothing & I've looked at every option available on the epad.

Do I need a certain program? Do I need to manage the ePad from FB and my email..disable it from there?

You would think it would be an easy task to simply remove user data, but I've been trying now for a few hours & can't get anywhere. Please help?

Thanks FTANL
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
tun was included in the cp210_v2.rar (I flashed the x576 one).

edit: fyi -

To check if it is included in your zImage - from command line you can do:

ls -l /dev/tun

and you should see:

# ls -l /dev/tun

ls -l /dev/tun

I think your best bet is to flash the firmware, its the only way I know to do a factory reset. go here for the laetest official firmware and how to do it: http://zenithink.us/blog/

i thought zenithink.nu is a fake site. all roms development within this site is kinda trick.

isn't it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Hmmm, I never heard that, JiongTang has it as a link on the bottom of his ZT-180 Thread as Chinse Zenithink Unofficial Forum - http://www.zenithink.com.nu/forum.php. First time I went to the site was after getting an email from the Zenithink engineer asking me to go there and test the 1126 beta for GPS functionality...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prscott1:
Hey jtbnet - I flashed the dual kernel.

You need to put the ZT_Bx.spl and .boot from the dual kernel download into the burntool directory along with the system.pack.img and userdata.pack.img with the zImage of your choice (e.g., from the cp210 download). Then burn as usual.

Normal reboots will launch that kernel.

If you boot up and hold down the left volume button then it will scan for alternative kernels and flash them on the "fly" and then boot. This is the part I'm a little fuzzy on because I haven't got this to work yet.

Could someone else clarify for us?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
all I know is what the Zenithink Engineer said here http://www.epad.com.nu/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=1270&pid=5914
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
Dirty,

another way that you can do it without having to reflash is to root your phone with z4root or univeralandroot and purchase of download root manager. From that program you can delete data (which will be files that come standard with os) and data (files that you have put on the device.) Look through previous couple of pages for download links for z4root and universalandroot. omarahum has given me some great links. one thing that you need to remember is to follow the steps i did in a previous reply to bypass the parsing errors. if you need me to put them out again just let me know. Everything that you will need is on the within the past 3 pages as long as you have your settings set to 50 posts her page. all posts that i am referring to have happened between now and december 8..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
Omarahum:

Can the massonlysd work with a reflash of 1030? i dont' use adb for anything unless there is something going on with my device that would require it. and it is getting really annoying having to shut down my system remove the sd and then do everything i need to and put it back in and reboot. for some odd reason that I can't figure out, my sd will not unmount via settings nor root manager.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I really don't know for sure, but I don't think it would be compatible with the 1030. I usually just adb pull or push /sdcard now instead of removing it from the tablet these days, I also use Dropbox to transfer files quickly, but I think there are many other FTP/wifi type of programs out there that other people use.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
so you are telling me that is will just be better for me to use homepipe until the official 1126 comes out which will be a different number?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i am actually kind of worried about putting the 1126 on there because of the overclocking since i have read it creates problems with the zt 180.

i do know that startup manager really helped a lot with my boot up, that and a bunch of restarts to make everything connect better.

another thing that I was wondering if there will be an advancements in regards to the ram with the new release they are working on. i know 44% of left over is good but I cannot run any and I mean ANY of my video game emulators on this thing. Even when I kill ALL tasks, they love to lag and jump around on me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Either that, or try the beta, who knows when the official version will come out, seems the Zenithink engineer is taking each suggestion and making a different kernel for each, don't know when or if they'll be able to combine all into one for the official version....

If you don't want to try the overclocked boot and spl, replace it with the doube_boot_kernel boot and spl, that one is not overclocked and seemed to solve the people with overclocked problems. Or again, you can just wait. I've only tried the original overclocked boot and spl with the ftdi kernel, and have had no problems whatsoever, so I don't have any first hand experience with any of the others...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
well you said that you used the overclock on a ruby 1.2 is that a zt180?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
and another thing that I was wondering is the ability to sideload apps utilizing AndroidCentral. will this be available using the mass only sd kernel?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
:D That's the type of board i have inside my Zenithink tablet, as far as I know there is the 1.2, 1.2b, 1.3 and 1.4 (pics of the 1.4 - http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/post9193.html#p9193). Seems like 1.3 boards have trouble with the overclocked version......

(The ZT-180 is my only Android device.)

I don't know what sideloading is, sorry.....

OK, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideloading, still not sure what it means, LOL, hopefuly someone else can advise you.....

(You should be able to install any app by just tapping the apk file stored on your sdcard using any file browsing program, if that's what you mean, just go to settings/application settings, and make sure the Unknown sources is checked.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
sideloading is using a program to load install packages and install them on anroid devices that will not allow you to install non-market apps. i use it to install apk files to my samsung captivate. with my phone you cannot just put the apk file on sd and install, you have to sideload it.

how do i figure out what type board I have inside my zt180, i can tell you that I recently purchased it and it came to me with the 1030 on it already.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
Yeah, you should be able to install any apk from your sdcard, just go to settings/application settings, and make sure the Unknown sources is checked. You would need to open your tablet to know what board you have, it really doesn't matter when you got it, the stock could be old from the supplier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
could you send me a link on how to open it up. and about the ram? is there a way to upgrade it since we can take it apart. the reason I am wondering about that is i just downloaded a program that tell me that my max ram is 184 and i cannot access 100 mb of it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
jtbnet wrote up a good overview of the process on slatedroid here http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=4709.0, I also posted another members youtube video in that thread, but the embed code doesn't work anymore on slatedroid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEB-RqaE3_Q

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEB-RqaE3_Q[/YOUTUBE]

When you open it up, you will see that everything but the wifi is pretty much onboard, cannot remove and install more/different RAM....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
so there isn't a way to sauter more ram onto the current onboard ram?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
all i can find for xda is superpower xda beta.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
When I do a search with "XDA-Developers", it's the 11th search item found....

Or you can type in pub:xda-developers and it should be the only one found....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
might there be some reason att took it off their market bc the pub:xda-developers didn't work either. i guess i will just have to try and find a download online
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
I finally found it by scanning the bar code from website
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
Hey thanks...now I just need to get it on my zt180
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I still don't understand why you don't just use the android market that's on the tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
the reason that i didn't use the android market on my tablet is because A: the market will not show all the items under a search (117 items for "xda") B: Typing in the whole name will not work C: Typing in the pname wouldn't work on tablet or cell phone D: Tablet doesn't have camera so I couldn't scan the barcode that I found on xda main site on computer.

Scanned the barcode with my cell phone then then moved the apk to my computer and downloaded it via homepipe to my tablet and installed.

Tried to run it on my tablet and after 8 to 15 seconds of the busy wheel moving the application force shutdowns.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i jsut downloaded the one that you put on mediafire and downloaded it to the tablet and manually installed and this will run but will force shutdown immediately after inputting username and password.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
hey thank you for that tutorial on how to take it apart, it worked great! I figured out that I have a ruby 1.4. is that one of the boards having problems with the 1126 firmware or is it a great board for the overclocking?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
I usually don't have problems when running a search in Market, but I mainly browse the Top Free tab unless I want a specific app, but you are right about the scanning barcode thing, that would be cool if the ZT-180 had a camera buit in, hopefully one of us members will figure out how to get a usb camera working.

I also had trouble logging in the first time, but then I rebooted the tablet and the XDA app was the first thing I ran after boot, and things went a lot smoother.....

Well the person whose pictures were of the 1.4 board (in that previous link) said he flashed his tablet with the 1126 beta with no problems, so far only people with 1.3 boards have reported problems, from what I have read....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DjoeN:
Is there a way to get the Gingerbread Keyboard running on the tablet or the new Android Market?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
Camera: as far as this goes, i know there are tablets out there that support usb wecbams and I know that linux has a lot of drivers and since android is linux i would assume that someone could take the drivers that come standard with ubuntu or knoppix and somehow redevelop them to be compatible with android. There are really cheap webcams on ebay that could clip onto the tablet which would be pretty cool. I HONESTLY FEEL THAT OTHER LINUX DISTROS WILL BE THE ANSWER. I MEAN HECK GOOGLE CHROME (LINUX) HAS BUILT IN USB CAM DRIVERS)

XDA APP: I have restarted it 4 times and the same thing happens. the app will let me login and then i get an error code and it will not bring up the posts. i will try to go into my profile to access my posts and it force shutdowns. every other way to access post gives me error codes and different ones each time. but i am also running the 1030 and you said you are running the 1126 so i think since no one with 1.4 boards is having problems that i will upgrade, hopefully it will help it run a lot better. would you mind sending me a link for the instructions on how to mass only usb the device since I have no use for the adb? And do I need to download a different burntool than the one that I used for the 1030 flash?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
There has to be a way to develop an app that has the driver for a webcam in it and also utilizes the onboard usb and forces the tablet to recognize the device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
DJoeN:

Honestly i feel that the slideit keyboard is one of the best out there, it is similar to samsungs swype but it has a larger keyboard and spaces in between the letters so there is less chance to make a mistake. if you want to download the apk here is the link

http://www.mediafire.com/?z8wqe4iq998ri

There are also a few other apps in there that will help you root your device as well as utilize the root features.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
Will the HTC driver for mass only usb override the drivers for the flash on my computer or will they stay there and I still be able to put the device into bootloader mode and reflash.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DjoeN:
Thanks, i have slide-it, i use it on my HTC Hero and HTC Wildfire :)

Just wondering how the Gingerbread keyboard would be on a tablet :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:
As far as I understand, the secbulk drivers are only used when the tablet is in flash mode and connected to your computer via usb, the HTC driver will allow you to mount the sdcard in the tablet on your computer as a disk drive when the tablet is in normal mode and connected via usb.

Update: Stupid me, I should have also added that after you flash the 1126 beta, you can flash the tablet from your sdcard by placing the files in the /sdcard/zt-update folder and clicking the left(?-not sure, i know the info is posted somewhere) toggle key at boot....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omarahum:

Think that may be the 1126betaROMv2.zip I uploaded to mediafire, but could be wrong, I also uploaded a 1126betaROMv3.zip, but then the Zenithink engineer kept adding and removing kernels and boot&spls, so I created the 1126 Beta ROM RAR Files Folder, LOL.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
yeah i think it was from one of your links. my main worry is the boot. what files do i use for the spl and bootimg? when i am in my burntool there is already a path inserted but when i look at the final access point is just the folder that everything is in.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rdnckreaper:
i don't know what files to use for the spl and boot img, none of the links say what needs to go in there and i dont really know what the spl is. i was basically asking if you wouldn't mind breaking down which file needs to go in which place, i mean i know the kernel needs to be the mass usb image, the system data is the system dat and the userdata is the userdata. when i flashed the 1030 all the names were what they needed to be, that isn't the case for the 1126. i dont know what needs to go into the uboot-spl, uboot-img and wince-img sections.
