There is a lot of work behind this post I am sure. Thanks I got a ZT-180 V2 but it did not come with WIN CE. The add on DHGATE was very misleading I thought i was buying a dual system tablet. Android 2.2 really works great on this tablet. GPS does not work no satellite com ??
Try the latest firmware it supports gps from the usb port only tho and you can get wince to dual boot with it

I hope I don't get in too much trouble for asking this question here, especially if I missed in it in my search (my apologies if that is the case). I have a Zenithink 10.2" with firmware build 20110503.120935 test-keys.

I need to know what the latest firmware build is and if I have to install any other firmware versions IN BETWEEN the latest build or can I just install the latest one and I'm all good.

Can anyone tell me if this is a yes or a no? It seems like I could just download the latest release and install it but I don't want to brick my tablet, either.

I downloaded and installed this one listed at the top of the forum, the one with the blue background and has the "ZEPAD" startup screen.

android_2.2_512_4GB_10_0613 with F.rar

No problems experienced so far.
