Changelog : ( Video and touchscreen performance )
http://freakshare.net/files/m36m97dy/USBburntool.rar.html ( flashtool ( download separtly ) )
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

I bought mine at vostrostone.com (and got it in 3 days from China!) but there are alot of sites out there...
check out slatedroid.com and look at the non-listed devices under the forum...

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.

Tell me how to do a system dump and I will gladly help, I am used to WM devices so please bear with me until I "catch up" to Android.
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?
eric
First:
Shutdown the Pad.

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
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.
Hello dear people,
I've managed to compile a Kernel for the A515F - using the source code provided by samsung (https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=A515F) - Version A515FXXU3BTF4.
The usage of make (...) yielded an Image (no extension) and a Image.gz file under the path "arch/arm64/boot/" within the sourcecode.
The size of the Image is 30,3mb - the Image.tz size is 10,3 mb - looks good so far doesnt it?
SInce my last kernel-development work is from 5 years ago and a lot of things changed during that time - what are the next steps in order to install this kernel on the device?
I can remember somethings, like using adb / fastboot to flash the related partitions, etc. - im going to get my head around this, but maybe someone could give me some hints ?
Ive also have some other questions:
- Flashing a custom kernel on this device trips the knox status - ive read that this disable secure folders and samsung pay - so no software that im interested in - are there any othere drawbacks of installing cfw ?
- I've read alot of A/B partitions - Ive used an android app which logs some hardware-specific information about the device and as it looks - the A51 uses A/B partitions - what does that mean and how does it differ to smartphones 5 years ago?
- From other kernel-development-work (on x64 / x86 hosts) I know that the modules of a kernel should be a part of the resulting Image / Image.gz file - is this also the case in this scenario? Are drivers / and related modules part of the kernel?
- Is it possible to test this kernel on an android emulator? I dont want to flash something somehow on a device wihtout being sure that it doesnt result in a bricked device.
Thanks in advance!

First of all, dang that's a lot of questions at once.??
Also you might've already figured out the answers to all of em but still here are all the Answers in case you didn't or for someone else seeing this post.
Q1) For installing the kernel on the device, one option is to flash the boot image using twrp while the other is to compress to boot.img.tar and flash in the AP section of odin.
Q2) The only drawback is tripping knox which makes some samsung apps like samaung pay, samsung pass, secure folder etc to not work on your device EVER. I repeat they won't work on your device ever because tripping knox is an irreversible thing.
Q3) Yes samsung A51 uses A/B partition structures which just means that it has 2 copies of some partitions like system and vendor, for example. For more details google should be able to explain it to you better than me. Aka A-only vs A/B partitions.
Q4&5) I'm sorry but I don't know about that ? but in case you are looking for tests you can ask in A51 telegram group.
So long story short Deliveroo Sunmi V2 device i want to make a android 7 system image for its chipset (mt6739) and archtitiure (armeabi-v7) and i complied it from source, added in the /vendor files from the stock image files that ive pulled from the device with SP Flash Tool (even longer story) and since its a device with stock Firmware files that not stock android instead a very heavily modded version of android 7.1 to restrict usesage and for the company to control the devices remotely. Ive read init.rc files in both stock boot.img and system.img as well as all the instructions from the kernal to start Android (because thats been modified for their additions to the os) and ive tried to change the code in the many of init files to link the two paritions together so android can boot, but after a week of mounting, resading, comparing, editing, unmounting and reflashing non-stop im at a loss, and i really need some help ans this isnt your normal smartphone with ner genetic files and such
