How to flash new firmware on Zenithink ZT-180

September 2nd, 2010

Step 1: Download the latest firmware (Check my other posts for the Android fw)

Step 2: With the tablet turned off, connect it to your computer using the mini-USB port.

Step 3: On the tablet, hold down the Menu button and then press the Power button. You will now see a Found New Hardware popup on your computer. From the New Hardware screen you need to locate the USB driver which is located in my latest firmware download.

Note: If the device fails to install, go to device manager, click on Unknown Device, click on reinstall drivers, browse to where the USB drivers are and reinstall them.

Note 2: These drivers will only work on 32bit systems.

CyanogenMod-6 for Nexus One (6.0.0-N1)

August 31st, 2010

Finally a stable release of CM6 has been released! Instructions for first time flashers or current CM-users as well as download links are available direct from the Cyanogen forums.

So far, this release has been very stable for me with no FC’s. There are a heap of new UI options plus system enhancements such as true 720P encoding and FLAC playback support. See the complete changelog here

On a side note, I’m not sure if this is a problem with 6.0.0-N1 but I flashed Wildmonks latest 2.6.35.4_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_082710 kernel and had major problems with boot and had to do a nandroid restore. I will have a look into this and try flashing again.

Screen calibration issues on ZT-180

August 30th, 2010

There has been alot of talk about the calibration problems on the zt-180 and everyone seems to be giving different results. I’d like to compare different units and firmware to see exactly what the problem is. There are 2 apps you can load to test your screen calibration, MultiTouch Visualizer 2 & Multitouch Visible Test. Please post your findings!

As you can see below, both of the apps give the same result on mine. I’m currently running 0818 w/ RPMScript.

At this point there is no way to calibrate the screen so I highly recommend using a stylus until this issue is resolved.

Easy Root & txPower fix on Zenithink ZT-180

August 25th, 2010

There are a lot of people who are unfamiliar with Android and the SDK so I thought I would show you the easy way to gain root access and apply the txpower fix. If you don’t already know, the txpower fix changes the txpower value from 100 to 20 which gives you better wifi performance plus helps with temperature problems. It should also slightly increase battery life.

Follow these steps below
