How to flash new firmware on Zenithink ZT-180

Step 1: Download the latest firmware (check on ibeau.net or on SlateDroid)

Step 2: With the tablet turned off, connect it to your computer using the mini-USB port. (also make sure you have power connected!)

Step 3: On the tablet, hold down the Menu button and then press the Power button. You will now see a Found New Hardware popup on your computer. From the New Hardware screen you need to locate the USB driver which is located in my latest firmware download.
Note: If the device fails to install, go to device manager, click on Unknown Device, click on reinstall drivers, browse to where the USB drivers are and reinstall them.
Note 2: These drivers will only work on 32bit systems.




Step 4: Once the USB drivers are install correctly, open burntool_v07.2.exe. The first device should now be lit up green.

Step 6: Click on Start on the top left and it will start flashing your tablet with the new firmware. The status bar will load to 100% 4 times (Takes between 1-2 minutes). Once its complete it will say UpdatePipeState: 0×600000f 6 at the bottom.
