Howto Flash the device:
Shutdown the Pad.
Then Press The Button on the Right site in front of the pad (there is only one?) and the Power Button at the Same Time.
Then the device will be flashable and the light will be blue i think.
Then you Put the USB-Cable in, install the driver which is also in the package.
Now you can open burntool.
Device10 should be green.
Now jo goto Settings, and set uboot, kernel,sys-dat, udat
uboot: u-boot.img
linux-kernel:zImage_cui
linux-sys:system.img
linux-udat:userdata.img
Press the FIRST button from the left site to confirm the settings
Now press Start and the device should be starting to flash....
However sometimes the board hangs after flashing and will not start directly dont worry. If everything doesnt help, do a reset.
So iam not responsible again, this was the way i used and it worked.
I thinks its impossible to brick the pad, because you can flash it every time again. (throu ENTER+Power button mode).

This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.

I am wondering the same thing too. I have vogue and I am very impress with the work of Myth Donut build. I just ordered a ZT180. I familiar with building linux kernel, mostly for servers and desktops, maybe if I can hack some stuffs if the original build is out somewhere. Is there a place where I can pickup some clues about this here?

Hi People,
This week i've received the zt-180 10 inch ipad clone. As i could not found another thread about this device it's good to start one and gather information about this device. Of course it would be great to see some news about the device.
I am trying to get my hands on the software from the developer, with the correct settings
and drivers for this device. Please comment below if you got anything new on this!
If i have some news or results i will be back!
Another discussion on this device is going on:

I am interested in the ZT180, but I think I will hold out for the tegra 2 based android tablets I keep hearing about.

Thanks for the image. I tried to find the data sheets online but fail to find the main processors. I think they relabeled the chip. It is most likely from south korea. Same for the memory chip.
The RTL8201CT is the LAN chip:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsview.aspx?langid=1&pfid=13&level=5&conn=4&prodid=25
The two NAND flash chips are: HY5PS1G1631C FP-Y5
http://www.hynix.com/datasheet/pdf/dram/HY5PS1G4(8.16)31C(L)FP(Rev0.3).pdf

csbert, would you please answer me in PM.
I have 2 Interesting Firmwares for the 180:
-Android
-WinCE.
Flashsoftware + uboot is included.
My firsttry will be run a little linux with usb + tft support to see the full hardware .....
Could we work together ?

Sry i dont get this Forumsoftware, sorry...

Sry for Douplepost:
Now i got this :
LCD == MD101-001TDAN
LAN == RTL8201CT
WLAN == RT3070L (Ralink)
NAND == HY5PS1G1631C FP-Y5.
We need more information
The Cortex-A8 Processor is ARMv7.
csbert: Do you got my PM with Downloadlink? Please answer.

Yes. I got it thanks you for sharing.
When I get my machine, I will starting building a linux kernel for it.
However, should we do android instead? When done right, it is pretty good.

I'm looking to buy one of these, can someone give me a link as where to buy one from??

Well, it is confirmed that it is not a Cortex, which is Arm v7, but is an Arm 11, which is Arm V6. So it is like a superfast iPhone 2G.
http://www.slatedroid.com/showthrea...180-Specifications-Faking-Not-ARMv7-A8-Cortex!
It is still a nice platform to develop on though.

but not for $300...
[EDIT]
might as well cash in on a $150 GT78, and develop on that...
spam 5m delay is utterly moronic...
[/EDIT]

You're doing a great job!
I have one, but I can't use it because of the chinese firmware which I doesn't understand....
hope some of you can post an firmware vesion soon so I can start using my device.
respect for the ones who can make the roms!

This Package includes:
-Usb_Driver
-WinCE
-Android2.1
-burntool
http://www.multiupload.com/BV5BEUWJ1K
Again I need to say, that is (so far as i know) not the Official Firmware.
This Android really sucks, i dont like it, only use it for informationfinding.
Do somebody already have a SDK Connection to the pad (PC<-SDK->PAD)
I need to know howto make a adb connection possible.
Thanks

Is this Android 2.1 v1 (that came with the ZT-180) or something else?

I was curious as to what the device actually was.
From Hinagiku's prompting on QQ, I made threads on Slatedroid about the spec faking.
I am still unable to retrieve system files to actually further prove that thsiis indeed an ARM11 based processor. I have tried to use unyaffs on the system.img from my Linux partition. The system.img should be some variant of yaffs, as there's a file in the firmware pack that indicates that.
I was hoping to find out where and how JIT has been enabled, and possibly perform readelf on the libs.
Anyhow I really want a system dump.

How to flash the android onto zt-180?
Hi,
Have downloaded the firmware including the burntool but don't know what to do now.. above all, its in chinese..
Any help please.. btw the zt-180 is not recorgnized on otg or usb port with windows 7.. any ideas?

I'll hope now you understand it
My Problem is now to get the SDK working, which usb port i have to use, to make a usb-sdk connection with the pad. The OTG Port isnt recognized in windows while Android is running, and i dont have a Cable to test USB to USB directly. Could that be possible? If anyone have the resources please test it, i need this information thanks

Star X26i - 4 Inch Screen 1GHz CPU 5MP Camera Android 4.0

Hi, I have just bought the phone called Star X26i from Android-Sale: Star X26i
It is quite a good phone with beautiful screen and buttons.
UPDATE 1: How to root Star X26i by using TPSparkyroot: Thanks to admonish & Ferny_77
1. ( Optional ) Download Android SDK and install from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Download TPSparkyroot OR ROOT v5 Eng By Canerpense
3. Run adb.exe.
4. Run TPSparkyRoot.exe and follow instructions.
UPDATE 2: Original Firmware 19th June ( Not tested ) : Many thanks to AshleyJackson94 for the firmware. Instruction is brought to you by zBeYuz
0. Download Original Firmware 19th June
1. MTK 6575 Driver must be installed ( Turn off the phone, take out the battery and plug into the PC, it will ask for installing a new device ):
2. Download MTK 6575 Flash Tool
3. a) Go to Flash tool folder and run SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe
b) Choose Factory Database --> Setup data source file: "MTK_DATABASE.mdb"
c) Choose File --> Open download agent file: "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"
d) Choose Scatter File: "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" in Firmware folder.
e) Choose the figure same as the picture here: Setting For SmartPhone MPD
f) After that turn off your phone and take out the battery and then hit the "Start all" button to start the process.
g) Quickly plug in your phone into the computer and the tool should begin to flash the firmware in less than 60 seconds if the driver is installed correctly.
h) You will see the green bar which indicates " Write Ok " means you are safe to remove the phone and the process has been completed.
P/s: Good Luck and Fighting !!!
Tips & Tricks:
1. For those who have Wifi issue, can try out this code in build.prop to see whether it makes any differences:
a) Change:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150
b) Add below this code:
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960
2-a. To reduce CPU speed in order to save the battery:
1. Install Setcpu in Google Play
2. Set Cpu to on demand instead of performance.
3. Save and monitor the battery life again.
2-b. A few profiles in setcpu to help manage the power ( Thanks to lansi23 )
There are 4 speeds for the phone:
166 250 500 1000
-When screen off
166-250
-In call
166-250
-Screen on
166-1000
3. Thanks angelobiz: For remove old, hidden driver you can see this: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/504/how-to-uninstall-hidden-devices-drivers-and-services/
4. Thanks caviar44: This is a tool to remove old drivers: USBDeview v2.11. Just right click on driver instance and then choose "uninstall selected devices".
5. Moborobo - The Android Smartphone PC Manager ( You can use it to install apps, make a backup, blah blah ) : Moborobo
P/s: If anyone comes across a custom recovery for the phone, please also post it here.
Fighting !!! :good:

Anyone ?

Sorry, I have no idea who was the manufacturer

Up for this topic

I was very sad when I saw the reviews (talkingmobi. com/?p=3015).
So, those are the differences between REAL and FAKE. With millions of eyes, the truth will always come out. I would like to show u the REAL details and tested 5 times about LT26 on FCT:
Star Xperia S LT26 LT26i XT26 MTK6575 Hot Spot
4 inch WVGA screen, 800*480 pixel
MTK6575 1GHz processor + GPU: PowerVR SGX531(Cheap version by MTK6573 CPU 640MHZ + GPU 460MHZ)

He wrote - x26i have MTK6573 processor (Freq: 640MHz), but at the price specified android-sale = 1GHz. I do not know who to believe.

Ok, I got it. Since there are two versions of this phone, one with MTK6575, which is 1Ghz processor, is my phone and the cheaper version runs MTK6573 which is 640MHz.
I think you should get MTK6575 version as it will make a big difference.

could be similar to the Star N8000, same specs, there is a root procedure for the N8000 in the Star N8000 thread but don't know if it will work for this phone...

Thanks drmosh, I will try it out

Hi, i've bought one that i should receive next week.
Any root procedure or rom to update it ?
TBH

I'v had this phone for a couple of days now and Im loving it. There is only one small downside, wifi SUCKS the battery out of this one. So I hope a future rom or modification can remedy this.
I managed to root it today using TPSparkyroot
Someone let me know if I should post the build.prop file for modification possibilites. Maybe there is something that can be edited to lower wifi battery drain

Hi and thanks
I hope that there will have enought user to build a kind if "community" here as this phone is new.
But i also think that the hardware is quite similar as lot of other china droid phone...
Does the two sims cards work well ?

Hi admonish, I also used TPSparkyroot to root but not successful. Can you upload your root files through Mediafire for me so that I can post it on the first page for people who owned this phone and wanted to root. Thanks a lot.
Btw, I am also in love with this phone and about wifi issue, you can try this code out in build.prop to see whether it makes any differences:

iView 756TPC and Unofficial CM9 mod for A10s

Yeah yeah, noob question! Prepare to verbally pants me.
Just bought a iView 756TPC tablet from the egg. Works pretty well some issues and chinese bloatware. Anyhow, want to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760929
Only problem is I don't know whether to try the MOMO9 compatibility patch or the LY-F1 patch. Only differences I can find are I have 1GB DDR3 not 512MB DDR2. Both are almost identical hardware. I am leaning towards the LY-F1 b/c my buildprop shows Broncho which is listed as a clone of the LY-F1. I have googled a ton but it seems this thing is pretty new. You'll prolly find a few of my threads when you search and not much else! There is some info on the 760TPC which is from the same manufacturer. So basically I am confused as possible. I pasted some specs I exported from the systeminfo app. Hope that's enough to go on. Go ahead and rip me a new one.

Why yes, yes you can!
Got ClockworkMod Recovery working. Only issue is my buttons don't work. I have to use adb to initialize the recovery as well. Cannot hit the "back" key while in recovery mode but as long as you do everything right that's ok! I just flashed the LY-F1 version and it is SWEET so much faster than the stock ICS rom that came with the 756 from iView. However, my back, menu and home buttons don't work. They are not hard buttons but rather on the touchscreen part, probably related to why I can't use them to boot into CWM recovery too. The screen flickers a bit as well, but looks like with some tweaking I can get this baby running CyanogenMod9 :victory: Any other iView 756TPC users need some help getting going, it was not easy... let me know!

I'll just keep talking to myself!
OK, well neither of the compatibility patches will work with this tab so I guess I'm on my own. Oh well, I think I have the key mapping figured out and know i can easily change the lcd density so I can fix those no problem. It's including all the modules in the system/vendor/modules/ folder I am concerned about. There are a ton of those and I guess I am just not sure how they work and if I will have to customize the install script to include them in the existing patch. A lil' help would be splendid. I modified the existing Momo9 patch to include the updated key mapping and modified the script that changes the default cm9 lcd density, but I cannot get clockwork to execute my zip. Do i have to zip it up a certain way? I also added the vendor modules in the appropriate location inside the new zip, but I was not sure if I needed to add some scripting to copy them since there is no vendor folder in the existing patch i am modifying?? again if anyone is reading this I would really appreciate some kind of response!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks!

any update? how's it working?

Yeah, I had bought 2 of them.One of them suddenly had a pixel die, then the screen became unresponsive so I RMA'd them and bought a Samsung Galaxy 2. I could not figure out how to get the extra buttons on the touchscreen to work. I successfully remapped the volume buttons to serve as menu and back until I figured out the touch buttons. It must have something to do with a module for the touchscreen itself. I was going to try and insmod some modules (there are a zillion of them in the vendor module folder in the stock rom) and see what happened, then the pixel died and I said forget it. One thing I wanted to try was using a gingerbread rom for the 760TPC and see if it improved performance, but obviously never got around to it. The stock ICS Rom from iview was sluggish, especially compared to CM9 which the tablet ran admirably I must say. Anyways good luck!
One more note, to answer my own question just in case anyone else had it....
For some reason CWM did not like my winRAR zip files. Zipping them with 7zip default zip settings seemed to remedy the situation. I was able unzip the patch modify files using Notepad ++ and re zip with 7zip. CWM then would execute my patch just fine.

@RedForestStudios. Thanked you for each of your posts. You have given me some hope that I will be able to get CM9 on this little tablet. I didn't need it. I only bought it because I couldn't say no to the price. Any chance of detailing how you got CWM and CM9 on this? Did you use the method for the 760TPC?
I see you said you didn't get the buttons working. I'm assuming that was in CM9, correct? If I can get CWM on it I would be happy using ADB or QuickBoot to initiate it.

Does anyone happen to have a backup of the stock rom? i have searched the corners of the internet trying to find it as mine died on my second day of owning it but could be fixed with a flash of the stock rom. If anyone could help i would be very thankful

Iview has posted this full update on their site. Although I have yet to make it work. If you can get it to work let me know.
Their website is www<dot>iviewus<dot>com. Go to the dowloads page. Replace my <dot> with .

Spoke too soon
It looks like IviewUS has pulled the image. That may have explained the problem I was having after getting LiveSuit 1.09 to work.

From Iview
Iview says they are rebuilding their image file and the rewriting the instructions to the CyPad 756TPC. It should be posted in a few days.
---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

Good to see some activity here in this thread. In case anybody wants/needs it RedForestStudios kindly gave me what he had before he returned his tablet. Sadly, I am too busy/lazy to learn what to do with it. If anybody wants it let me know. Meanwhile I'll reach out to him and make sure its ok.
What his zip included:
• cm9 – CyanogemMod 9 from XDA for AllWinner A10s
• CWM Recovery 5 ICS – CWM for AllWinner A10s (I think there might be some stray .ko and .kl files in their you can just delete)
• iview ICS – The stock rom from iView
• momo9_compatibility_1.2.0 – Don’t know if this is my modded version or not, cannot recall, you can easily find out by comparing to the original

I contacted the OP a while back and he provided me with some stuff he had and accomplished. Perhaps somebody who has one of these could use this to aid in dev? I am to busy/lazy to learn how to do this at this time.
I contacted him again today and he has agreed to allow me to pass it on should someone want it.
Included in zip:
• cm9 – CyanogemMod 9 from XDA for AllWinner A10s
• CWM Recovery 5 ICS – CWM for AllWinner A10s (I think there might be some stray .ko and .kl files in their you can just delete)
• iview ICS – The stock rom from iView
• momo9_compatibility_1.2.0 – Don’t know if this is my modded version or not, cannot recall, you can easily find out by comparing to the original
Also some notes from RedForestStudios:
Couple of notes, first make sure to use a text editor like notepad++ to edit the files unix/linux do not like the extra linebreaks or spaces windows typically inserts. If you happen to be using a program like dreamweaver to edit these make sure to turn on the unix compatibility mode in preferences, default is windows I believe. I think I was about to start insmod’ing modules via adb since I could not get the softkeys to work via mapping the the sun4i files. The key must be in one of the many vendor modules included in the stock iView rom.

Do you know if that stock image from Iview is the one they pulled?

Okay, Iview has posted the new image. I am still getting the same error. I am guessing these things are going to have to go back to the seller.

756TPC Firmware
I downloaded the firmware image and LiveSuite with instructions but was unable to get it to work. LiveSuite would come up with a box with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. The instructions include a step to press the "back" button which doesn't exist on the 756. I had flashed a 760 to ICS a while back so I tried that version of LiveSuite. It included button captions in English. It also came up with the yellow triangle but the caption said "Invalid image file". I sent this info to one of the IView techs and am waiting for a reply. If anyone has any updated info I'd be grateful to hear it. Thanks to all for all the info.

That is what I am getting. Iview had posted they were updating the intructions. I have yet to see them.

I think I am giving up. I had sent in an RMA to 'nova unhatched chickens' when the thing originally died. They peeled off part of the serial number on the back of the tablet and broke the charger dongle. Then they shipped the broken thing back saying they could not verify the serial number on the tablet even though the serial number was also on the back of the glossy Iview box. After that, I contacted the credit card company to cancel the transaction.

Hey, I have this tablet also and it runs so horribly slow. I was looking for a way to get cm10 on it but after reading this thread it seems like that won't happen, let alone cm9. Most of these chinese tablets are clones. Does anyone know what 756 is a clone of?

I found that this tablet may be similar but I can't find any files for it on the web.

Edit:
Actually I discovered that it is a clone of a tablet called LY-F1.
Don't have time to look it up now but apparently there are several roms for it.

I actually got cm10 running on my 756tpc! But then I bricked it trying to fix the auto rotation lol. Everything worked except auto rotation and the touch buttons. I'll post how I got it running if someone asks.

im making this post for those that have 756tpc issues, and cant yet find much support. ( like me)
around 34(4 days out of warantee) days ago, i purchased 2 756tpc. they worked great, however one day, while my tablet was just plugged in to charge, i held the power button to power it down. After it came back up, the 1g of internal memory appeared totally full, and it said 0%. Also it said the apps on this space were like 80 megs or so. i must add that at one point i used system tuner to freeze a few apps, prevented a few user installed apps from auto firing, and moved a few apps to sd. as a final circumstance, the tablet appeared reset - nothing was installed, etc.
So, im thinking wow, i guess ill start over, well, no apk would install, because it thought the internal memory was full or non existant. when i went to hard reset, it would show the updating android screen, than go instantly to the laying down android with red exclamation point.
the tablet worked perfectly except for this. thats when i got on the livesuit path - well, at the time, not long ago, there was an image for the 756 on the iview website, which i pulled, along with livesuit. after figuring out that this image was fail(756TPC-20120903.img), i pulled the one they had listed for the 760, and flashed it on the tablet. this was how i discovered my image was bad, i initially just wanted to see if the 760 image would initiate -- it did, and it flashed. --for the record the image i had would just give a yellow exclamation popup with no text when i connected the tablet.
with the 760 image, the ram issue i was having was apparently fixed, and i had more hope. it was slightly different, rotation, nor cap buttons worked, but the tablet worked more than it did with the original issue.
so, after a few days, i called iview and an asian sounding tech answered - i explained the issue, and that i wanted the firmware. he told me that in 2-3 days the new one would be up on the site to download. he chuckled at the fact that i flashed the 760 image, and asked me what happened, and that they hadnt tried it yet. he chuckled.
so - after this, to continue on the "mission" -i saw kingofmyworld324 mentioned the LY-F1. after i saw them looking idential almost, and the same for specs - i didnt have to spend long before trying these images.
---
first i used ICS-Seby_8.04.7z - which flashed and showed an ugly boot screen before failing to load. i tried twice.
next i flashed :
4.0______20120315-a721-LF-y1.rar -its 4.0.3 ICS
works perfectly! -maybe even faster and better than the original firmware. theres a few small things that may differ, but -- niice.
problem solved.
i may or may not try the 756 rom if and when they add it back.
thanks!

can you make a dump of your system and kernel/boot images?
i found a working cwm recovery for my 4G cx01 some time ago and it might work for you.
let me know if you want it.
btw, tcc has released new kernel+platform sources https://www.telechips.com/technical_support/kor/opensource/opensource_list.asp

really? a working cwm? as for the custom rom ive given up trying to compile it it always comes up error 2 i could not find any problem in jellybean file directories i even added the tcc specific files such as drivers ,etc and it still complain not finding that tcc files so ill leave that up to someone as im very busy, ill be glad to get that cwm for 4 gb cx01 how did you install that cwm on the cx01? there are different methods

RSH A400-S812 Mediabox firmware request

Manufacturer: RSH-TECH
http://www.rshtech.cn/product/53238292.html
Product: RSH A400-S812
Other product id: CVJI-E425
ro.product.model: RSH-A400-S812-V1.0
ro.product.device: n200_RSH6210a400
identifier I have found in compatible recovery.img: m8m2_n200_2G
Board: n200
WiFi: AP6210
CPU: S812
RAM: 2G
NAND: 8G.
RSH is ignoring my requests about firmware, they share only manual in pdf format. Orginal device supplier gave me not fully compatible firmware which made the device almost unusable, but not bricked so I can still burn new firmware into. I don't count for any stock version, i wasted too much time on searching for it, but I need anything which make the device usable again.
Can You suggest any compatible firmware for these specs?
EDIT: I have found that my device is compatible with CX-S806 device. It is also built on n200 and have similar specification. Firmwares (i tried 3 from different dates) fit.
There is problem with remote controller, but only needs fixes in remote.conf file. I have got this file from my original firmware so this is not an issue.
Some things on CX-S806 works better than on my factory firmware but there are other issues like not compatible apps in Google Play which were compatible on factory firmware. So i am going farther with my search.
EDIT2: I have tested many different firmwares and if I had to decide what to use I would like to return to my factory one, which is not accessible anymore (RSH and my device supplier stay silent and ignoring me).
There are many firmwares in OTA format which I can't test because OTA is not really full update and designed for proper device produced in proper time (updater-script limitations).
Probox2 Ex has no issue with SD card for example but has other issues which weren't on factory firmware.
