I'm deeply saddened. I wanted to try pdaXrom on my (almost new) 860, so I followed the instructions exactly. I've installed and upgraded OZ a number of times, so it was really nothing new, except for the part where the install finished and my handheld froze. Now, it won't turn on.
I think I've tried everything... I haven't been able to find any detailed descriptions of any of the emergency recovery options... the D+M and all of those... I've tried everything I could find, but I haven't been able to get it to do anything, except briefly (maybe a sixth of a second) flash the charge light when I plug in the power supply. I don't know if I'm not doing them right, but people seem pretty confident that these things can't be truly bricked. I use my Zaurus all the time, throughout the day. I feel lost without it. I would like to retain the data that's on it, but I would rather get it back empty and have to start over than to be without it. Does anyone have any information that might be useful? Thanks, Ashley |

I just didn't know that when I tried it. I had a 5500 for years (loved it) and I'm fairly new to the clamshell models. I didn't know how bad it could get. |

QUOTE(pgas @ Aug 27 2006, 04:53 AM) Thanks... That information is more detailed than what I've been able to find so far. Unfortunately, it's still not working. I can't even turn the little guy on. I follow the steps on that page exactly and nothing happens. I'll keep trying, though... I'm not quite ready to give up, yet. |

I'll keep trying, though... I'm not quite ready to give up, yet. try the "special Zaurus Diag Vodoo": Same procedure like trying to start the normal Diag, but use the "FN"(!) + "D" + "M" keys. Complete steps are in this thread: http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...=19939&hl=vodoo This should bring your Zaurus back to life. Fingers crossed ///TRIsoft Marc Stephan |

You're my new Best Friend. That's what I needed. And now I'm no longer afraid to try new OSes on my little box. I'm so happy that, if I had a web server, I would dedicate space to repositories for the Open Source Project.He's home safe, his nose is wet, and we would like to thank those who helped.  Hugs, Ashley
