Zenithink ZT-180 - New Firmware thread

Have also posted latest 0809 fw and files here - http://www.ibeau.net

 

G-Sensor seems to be fixed Working well for me now. I've had a few app crashes but nothing too serious. Firmware also available on my site below.

 

having bother trying to get my pc to pick up the tablet in win7 64 when its plugged in to usb, any clues?

 

Pretty sure there aren't any x64 drivers yet. Try it under XP in Virtual PC mode.

 

ok thanks, this must also mean it doesnt pick up the usb to pc connection under 64bit windows, i.e. plug the zenithink into pc, no new hardware install, right?

 

For flashing you still need to hold down the front button and then press the power button, to put the tablet into flashing mode and get the green device indicator in the flash tool.

Can anyone tall me how I discover which firmware I have for by zenithink zt-180

 

From the home screen find the settings icon.

Click Settings > About Device > Build Number

Find the string starting eng.2010 and the next four characters are the build number.

 

Just put up the latest 0827 firmware @ iBeau dot net

Changelog:
Improved 1080p video support
Added support for evdo 3G device

I've found that this fw runs a fair bit faster. Haven't tried playing videos yet. The Market (when installed) also runs alot smoother, no lockups.

 

I've put step by step instructions on my site for how to flash new firmware for those who are getting stuck

Edit: I have also added step by step instructions for installing RPMScript 1.2

 

Hi, new owner here, just feeling my way around.

I see that support for 3G modems has been mentioned in the 0827 release notes, but there does not appear to be any way to configure anything.

Can any of the gurus here shed any light?

 

must be time for a new firmware soon eh? being serious and all, what would be your ideal next consist of, mine would at least be the + and - button on the top to be volume.

 

this might be a silly question, but if my apad already says it's version 2.1, and I've had it since the beginning of august, does this firmware update apply to me??

 

All firmwares (0708,0804,0809,0818,0826,0830) are 2.1 update1 based... to know whether your firmware versions maps to what you read you need to look in Settings- About Device- Build Number, which will be something like

p7901a-eng-2.1-update1 ERE27 eng.wwang.20100826.112720 test-keys

The embedded built on date i.e. 20100826 matches you to the firmware... all the dates listed above match the firmware version except 0826 which was distributed 0827 and thus named 0827...

Hi all!!!

I bought a few days ago the zenithink zt-180 AMR11, I'm happy with it, but my opinion...is missing many hardware arrangements, warm enough, the wifi should no longer function due to temperature, but it works pretty well for what I think it is a beta yet!, but come on! We can fix it, how many of you changed the firmware?, until now it works perfect with a 16GB SDHC memory, usb seems to work for all, I've installed a few things that work much better, Astro File Manager / Firefox (Fennec) and Skyfire to play FLV (flash) and some gadgets and games.

Greetings!

I give you some interesting links:
