To downgrade you have to use the stock recovery, so fully replace the "zt-update" folder with the one with the stock update (downgrade in this case), after that call the TWRP.img "recovery.img" (isn't it called already that way in the TWRP rar? I should have forgon to rename it in case I'll reupload it), anyway the bootloader tries to load an uboot image located at /sdcard/zt-update/recovery.img

Try playing with the usual build.prop entries, are you using a c93?
try adding (or editing if the entry is already present)

ro.camera.orientation.front=0/90/180/270
ro.camera.orientation.back=0/90/180/270
I don't think, it requires a different partition layout for being a nice work (and not some nasty hack).
try to reboot the recovery
Yes, reboot the recovery from the reboot command. And look at the integrity of the package checking the md5sum
Did you flash the mentioned stock rom before?
you just have to copy a bunch of zips in the microsd and the recovery.img in the "zt-update" folder.
It works on Allwinner A31 but it looks like it doesn't work with amlogic, it's up to the kernel but if you wanna try you can have a look here
thanks to you guys, today I did the comp zips for c93 1f and 2f for 4.3, and with next build they can be used.

Probably they messed up their kernel. Try a "cat /proc/kmsg" when you plug it, if it doesn't list a new interface then it's their kernel fucked up. Maybe they configured the USB ports wrongly. Do you have a regular USB nic to try with the OTG adapter? (or an OTG adapter with a microUSB female, I guess it's impossible to find one)

nope, those works for sure with the one that has my buddy flsuperstore, I'm getting kinda bored of zenithink and its little changes
the only alternative would be that the dongle is recognized as usbnet0 instead of eth0, but dmesg/kmsg should say something when you plug it in, if it doesn't react it must be the kernel or the hw

let's see what Frank says, I'll do a couple of tests with him

probably they're built into your kernel. Starting with 4.1 amlogic's kernel had it built in.
