[Q] I cant update or use my zt-180

Could somebody help me?
I have a problem with my tablet. When i try to use any app, even the launcher, an error pops up and it closes the launcher, so i cant operate the tablet.
I've tried to update the tablet, but SPL always fails to burn, and that's killing me.
Ive used burntool 7.2 and 7.4.1, I've tried a lot of firmwares (2.1, 2.2), I have tried upgrading with the SD in and out, and even from the SD, but I cant, I could once, when the tablet couldnt by USB, I had access to the SD 'Download' mode.
I dont know what else to do.
I think that the epad hasnt been updated, so it has the default firmware.
Firmware version:
2.1 -update 1
Kernel Version:
2.6.32.9
#1702
Compilation number:
p7901a-eng 2.1 -update 1 ERE27 eng.wwang.20100826.112720 test-keys
Thanks
I've posted the same on the zt-180 official thread, but I think that I'll get a faster anwser opening a new thread.

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1010 "Out of space"

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I recently bought my first Android device (yes, yes, I'm a 100% noob). BTW, I also did the search (google and xda) for this problem, without results.
This is the story:
- I few weeks ago I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi (p1010), with Android 2.2 Froyo, and it is not rooted or flashed with some rom.
- Search on the market for an official version of Skype, but no, at this time there was no one.
- Then, I find one on getjar, works ok, but only audio.
- A few days ago I uninstalled the getjar version an install another one, version 2.0.0.45-signed, from villanrom, announced with video support, but at the moment of accepted a video-call the application always fails and closed.
- After that, I uninstalled it, and wait for a new and better one.
- Here is the problem: I have tried with another versions (villanrom 2.0.0.47sig, xda-Froyo-droidrx, the first one from getjar, and others, even the "official one" 2.0.0.47 from the market) but always I got the same error "Out of space: Skype could not be installed. Free up space and try again"
- I can instal other apps (apk and market) without any problem.
- My Summary is: Program 438MB/1.87GB, Personal data 10.00MB/69.77MB, Internal memory 4.38GB/12.74GB", with NO External SD card.
Please, I need some help to resolve this problem, before doing anything drastic, like an hard-reset
Best regards and thanks

You can try to run Titanium Backup, to see whether there still is some kind of skype installation on your tablet. If Titanium Backup can find something, then try to uninstall/wipe data/force remove app (all in Titanium Backup).
Another thing u could try is to use Root Explorer, and browse to data/app/ and see if there is still some skype in there (com.skype.raider-1.apk?). If there is, delete it. Also go to data/data/ and see if there is still something from skype there (perhaps com.skype.raider?). If there is, delete it.
Finally you could try to clear your dalvik cache. Usually that's done in clockworkmod, but as I'm not sure if you have that on your tablet, check here.
If none of that helps, I would backup some important stuff and then do a factory reset. Or better yet, put a nice new rom on there (either official or unofficial, no idea what's out there for the galaxy tab). At least go to gingerbread (android 2.3.x), or honeycomb (android 3.x) if that's available for your tab.
good luck!
PS; as for skype, i would recommend to use droidrx's mod. He's making great progress and most likely very soon there will be some kind of "final" and bug-free version.

Many many thanks.
My tab it´s not rooted yet (I think if I do that then lose guaranty)... I will try to do a factory reset or firmware update first... Only if that fail, then I will apply the root solution... BTW, wich one it is the better method/app for root a g-tab (with the un-root option included)??

Just did a 5 minute research, and apparently for some people there is already an official gingerbread update available. I would rather do that then a factory reset at this point. Gingerbread is a much better version of android than you have at the moment.
Rooting your galaxy tab is dead easy apparently, read here.
If you're thinking about installing a custom rom, see the Galaxy tab android development section.

Yep, but the update it's not available for everyone... I got installed the lastest version of Kies (2.0.1.11053_99), and it's shows "Current fw version = Latest = PDA:KB4 / CSC:KB4 (CHO)".. May be because my country (Chile).
SuperOnceClick looks fine, but with this issue
Note:
I have tried unrooting the device and rooting it again and this is not working. so this is to let you know that you will have to reflash the firmware to root the device if you unroot it again using this software and try to root until some one finds a solution

Thanks again, I hope that's Gingerbread will be available soon for me.

Yea, that means that you can still get your tablet back to the factory state (including root), in case you wanna bring it back for warranty. Which is probably never going to happen anyway.
So my advice would be just to flash a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom, as i've noticed you don't even need to have root to do this. Who knows how long chile will wait with distributing a new android version?
no te preocupes!
EDIT: just be careful with one thing, i've noticed not all customs roms will work on your tablet since you have a wifi only tablet. keep that in mind when looking for a rom and make sure that the rom will be compatible.

Apparently I'm not the only one with this specific problem... It's look like some bad install/uninstall process with the "VillainRom" version on the GTab.
Google search:
villainrom Skype with Video Support for Various Devices... #55
(Sorry, but the system says that I'm too noob to publish external links.. )
Sadly, they have not released a solution yet

OK, I´m not the first one with this specific problem, but some says even with root they can´t delete skype directory from system.

Solution:
Run terminal and type:
"rm_-R_/data/data/ com.skype.raider" _ = space
i failed the oparation a few times until i got it..
After that i'v downloaded Skype again, but this time it installed successfully,
Im very disappointed with Skype team failing to fix the problem and having there paying customers to Root there devices !

Jerome,
I guess you are in the same boat i am.
I went to Chile in June and bought a P1010 at Falabella store. My FW is the same as yours and there's no ROM to upgrade (official or custom).
There's no development for it here. Also the video skype is for the GB not froyo.
The only tweaks i could do was the root (z4root) and the OCLF.
Sorry for this bad news... But at least i loved to visit your country. The Piscosawer, the "CONGRO" fish and the "Cafe con Piernas" 8))

Problems installing a cfw for the first time (xperia x8)

Hello,
I recently acquired a Xperia X8 and tried to install a CFW, but i have some issues
So far, as i understood, i'm on android 2.1 root, using xrecovery, my baseband is 015, build 2.1.1.A.0.16, the cell is the international version ( not the american one ).
I tried to install FroyoBread v023b and i also tried the GingerDX v017, following closely the guides, and no matter what i try, i end up always stucked at the logo ( either froyobread or i don't remember what is written on the second one ). My x8 simply freeze at these logos, and i finally go again to the xrecovery menu, restoring my backup and am still on 2.1 root.
If anyone have an idea of where i did wrong and how to make me install finally one of these roms, it'd be really nice =)
Thanks

I tried to install a CFW too, i'm on android 2.1 Rooted and xRecovery installed , my baseband is 015, build 2.1.1.A.0.16,
I tried to install the GingerDX v017, I install rom manager and when I try to install CWM there is not X8 on phone list.
I sucesfully install Fdxperience with xrecovery and restore to 2.1...
Help me with Rom manager, CWM and GingerDX v017please!
Thanks!

Well, i tried to redownload the rom and install it in case i could have a problem with the file i downloaded ( i doubted of it but who knows u_u ), same problem. i still am freezing at the froyobread logo
- Edit -
I tried just now with another rom, installed using the recovery system, and weirdly, its the same, i freeze at the logo Hackdroid this time...

If I install GingerDX v13 with xrecovery, is it possible to upgrade it to v17 without CWM?

Updating my xperia x8

Hi, i tried to update my xperia x8 to doixanh's froyobread or ginger dx and I didn't have much success. I downloaded the latest update file, moved it to sd card, boot into xrecovery and install custom zip. When installation was completed,i reboot it,and I thought it will be good, but it wasn't, it was just your logo of froyobread and nothing was happening. I waited for like 10 minutes and still nothing. Same happened with ginger dx. I'm using the official android for my x8 (2.1 update 1) and official kernel and everything. But i have xxx015, that number he wrote we must have. I really don't see any problem, can somebody please help me? I would really like to use his roms.
Thank you a lot.

[Q] Help With Samsung Galaxy Indulge SCH-R915

Okay I've got myself into quite the predicament. Here is what happened. First of all I have been enjoying the benefits of having root access on my Indulge. When I heard there was an official Gingerbread update for this phone I decided to give it a go and install it using Kies Mini. It installed fine and everything worked great! There was but one problem...I could not root it. I searched forever for a solution, but could not find one. After awhile I decided to give up. I decided to downgrade back to 2.2.1 Froyo using this method. That was a very bad mistake. All this method does is overwrite the /system partition. Yes I am now running Froyo, however, the Gingerbread updated more than just the /system partition. In the About Phone it says my Firmware version is 2.2.1, but it says my Baseband version is EL06 when it should be EE05. I wouldn't have a problem with any of this if it weren't for the CONSTANT reboots. I am able to use my phone for ten minutes max before it reboots again...In fact it just did it again. Now I have tried to reinstall the Gingerbread upgrade, but Kies Mini says "Unregistered Device" in the "Firmware Version" and I am unable to receive the upgrade. I am guessing this is because it cannot detect which Firmware my phone has. I have also tried doing a factory reset many times with no luck. I have lost all hope. Will somebody please help me? I don't care if I end up with Froyo or Gingerbread, root or no root, I just want my phone to work!
