Flashing ROMs (...and debranding the X1)

This article will explain how to get a new firmware/ROM on your new Xperia X1.
To debrand the phone you just flash a different ROM. You also do the same thing to change from EN to GER, or to flash a customized ROM. So it's the same procedure for all of those actions (making it easier to write this tutorial ;-)).

Step 1 has to be done only once. For every following ROM you might want to flash, Step 2 is all you need to do. So let's start:

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.

Easy Root & txPower fix on Zenithink ZT-180

Easy Root & txPower fix on Zenithink ZT-180

There are a lot of people who are unfamiliar with Android and the SDK so I thought I would show you the easy way to gain root access and apply the txpower fix. If you don’t already know, the txpower fix changes the txpower value from 100 to 20 which gives you better wifi performance plus helps with temperature problems. It should also slightly increase battery life.

Follow these steps below:

Install Tomtom 7 on PNA devices with Windows CE core 5/6

Installation instructions for WinCE5/6 devices, PNAs.Untested on 32MB devices but free memory on a 64MB device is over 32MB so should be ok.

Might work for Windows Mobile/Phone 5/6 (6.5,6.5.X) where cab installation has failed. This is untested.

Does not work on WinCE4.2 devices, These tend to be older devices.

I know it's possible to install Tomtom 7 on WinCE4.2 devices with the aid of Mortscript but to be honest there are far more reliable options out there for these devices like iGO Primo or Garmin Mobile XTCE. Go to the relevent sections on this site for more info.

Almost everything about Wayteq 770 GPS navigator

I. Overview

- Processor Centrality Atlas III ARM 926T-400* MHz
- TFT 480x272 (very good)
- 2 GB internal Flash drive, RAM 64 MB
- Windows CE 5.00 (Build 1400) with SDHC support
- Ability to switch between ActiveSync(default) and Mass Storage
*In reality 324MHz; the specs from the factory are 396MHz, but never heard of any device equipped with this processor to go above 324MHz.


II. The good stuff

Given that the device supports SDHC, the first thing was to search the registry (remote, with CeRegEditor). It seemed normal to find "\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDBusDriver" and "Drivers\SDCARD" with everything beneath them. The surprise was that in the "\Windows" folder there is no "SDBus.dll" nor "SDMemory.dll", therefore the SDHC issue was solved without using these "classic" drivers. I've found "\Drivers\SDMMC" and the associated DLL, 34KB, almost double from the one present in .Net 4.2 and earlier CE5, who were without SDHC support.
