[ROM] Gome Superpad firmware update 3245 Android2.1/stable/smooth/fast/unofficial

[Salmch21]

Maybe I am just technically challenged, which could be the case, but I have tried formatting my 4GB sd card with this update and can't get it to work. I have all of the right information in the right spots. I have a bricked zt 180 wowpad with 2.1 running that keeps giving me a kernel panic message and reboots over and over. Maybe I am not even in the right spot, but I thought this would be a good firmware to flash with. Any suggestions????

Can you clarify your situation?
AFAIK, there is no such animal as a "zt 180 wowpad". All the Wowpads I heard of are NOT ZT180s. This forum is about the Flytouch2, aka SuperPad, aka WowPad.

Won't be suprised if the firmware here will brick a ZT180...

Can someone upload the upgrade to a site other than megaupload or rapidshare? Both these sites are practically unusable fr me since 2011 rolled in. Mediafire or Zshare are much preferred...

I followed everything to the tee, but I'm getting the following error "cannot create "D:\Temp\000.whx" Make sure the folder exist & is not write protected.

Any ideas? Your help would be greatly appreciated.


any ideas?

U did not point the directory for your temporary files. Set that to a folder on your harddrive. It cannot process without a temp directory. It looks like its set to default which dont exist.

Do you have an upgrade process for dummies?? spoon feed me here.LOL

Step 1: download file? Extract & send to SD or USB
Step 2: ??
Step 3:??

We all wish it was that easy but that time hasnt arrived yet. The following directions are as simple as it gets. Take it slow and ask questions as you go. Once we get the suitable software created for our tablets, il convert these firmwares to update.zips but we got aways to go yet.

Wifi works on this version, but hdmi stopped. Also battery charging indicator worked on the first version of this "update" but not now. No major differences, so I an going back to the "unofficial" version where hdmi worked

Rgocal - THANKS for all you do!!!!!!!!

Anytime
I figure alot of people are going to stay with the first version of 3245 and the experimental ones doing the iffy 2.2 i dont support. I figure alot of people are waiting for the 2.2 upgrade the selected few of us are working on. Wish we were making some headway.

!Make Boot sector to SD Card! *Caution, This is the only place you can screw up and your sd card should result in a 700mb storage device, if not you failed.
~Run WinHex.exe
1. on the toolbar click... tools, disk tools, clone disk

4. Checklist...source: raw image should be chosen as your sector.001 file, destination medium is going to be your sd card, start sector (destination) Fill in 0 (zero) and click ok. if you recieve any temp. file locator errors, ignore them unless its concerning your preporation setup or this process wont work.

One of the "tees" you missed was configuring winhex to point to scratch directories on your computer, then exiting winhex. (then steps above.) Finally you have to make very sure you point winhex to the *physical* not *logical* drive listed (the mistake I made frist time). Your fault may simply have been you started with abbreviated instructions, that missed this step.

I have just tested HDMI and it works no problem from Video Player, GPS works perfect for me (found my location in about a minute). I didn't test it for long.
below is proof that it works.
What do you mean with battery indicator not working?

Well I am already in a bricked situation. I can get it to start, but I once it gets to the powered by wowpad screen I get the Kernel panic message and it reboots itself. It will keep happening if I don't shut it off. Here are the specs on the tablet I have straight from the Sears website where I purchases it.

if it boots, its not considered bricked. Bricked is defined as push power button and nothing happens.

Oh okay that makes sense. Like I said before I am pretty new at this whole tablet thing. I have a Droid X phone and really like the android OS system and wanted that in a tablet, but I can't get mine to work. I want to get it fixed so my wife doesn't make my by an ipad.
