Kernal version: 2.6.32.9 root@android #4009

There are new more fast ROMs for your device (20110603, 20110618).
I advise to look at topics on SlateDroid.com forum:

Thanks for the reply I will be downloading the new rom this afternoon and trying to install. I don't have a tf card yet, but I think I remember seeing that you can flash it via thumb drive. Is this correct? I can find the tut again just figured I would see if I needed to get a tf card before I did it or not. Thanks again.

It is not possible to flash the tablets through USB Flash Drive.
And with your current firmware 0503 it is not possible to flash via USB connection with computer.
ONLY micro SD cards can be used.

Ok thanks again

im sorry but ive read everything i can find and cant seem to find a rom, or at least which one is right. i did find some new info on my device which is its an "H" serial and Jade_ver2.3 board which i found out when i took it apart. so can you point me in the right direction to a rom please. thank you again.

Below is quote from topic "[Guide]Flashing to 0603 with 0618 Kernel":http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/19405-guideflashing-to-0603-with-0618-kernel/

If I get your posts correct then you have: Metal cover, Jade board, 512MB/4GB of memory.
In termins of manufacturer it is H0 version of tablet.
Accordingly you have to download all needed files as described at the above link:
zimage - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/kernel/20110618/H0
zimage_adb - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/kernel/20110618/H0
zimage_update - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/update/20110618_t/G0_G1_G2_H0/update
system.tar.bz - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/android/20110603/inand
update_data_module - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/update (it is file of zero size)
clear_data_part - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/update (it is file of zero size)
If I was wrong at description of your tablet then the files should be another,
in such case correct me and I will collect links to needed files.

Use H if only yours has a metal cover. H serial does not mean that yours is H0, mine is a G0 with the H serial.

Most likely its a G0 or G2.. green or blue depends

Depends on your need:
update_data_module - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/update (it is file of zero size)
clear_data_part - ftp://zenithink.com/dyliao/zt-180/update (it is file of zero size)

for the new 0603 its recommended to flash the spl

I burnt some comps on my tab, it was JADE VER2.4. One question for you. Since you have the tablet open, can you give me the details of the U15. On my board it's near the charger plug, under the C130 capacitor.

edit: I already figured out that the U15 comp is EUTECH EUP8057
now I would like to know whats the D3 component near charger plug

ok only thing not right is it is a plastic housing not metal. but the 512/4gig and jade is correct.
and to ravennium let me take it back apart again real quick and see if i can find out what you need to know.
thanks again for all the help everyone.

It is a G2 according to the quote you put up Green Jade board
