Okay, I decided to go back to the Sharp ROM after playing around with OZ and just can't get anything to work! I downloaded several ROM's but I always get the same result. When I boot the Z, I get a message that "An error occurred during the file system check. Dropping you to a shell." I can't do anything from here. I checked the flash in the maintenance menu and it checks out fine. I even tried going back to OZ and that did not work.
Any help here would be appreciated. |

Okay, I was able to get OZ back on but I'd really like to know why I can't go back to the Sharp ROM.

If you do a search there are a few threads by Mickey on how to restore the 5500 to Sharpdom.
One thisng to check. Is the image you'r flashing corrupt? do an md5 to see |

From everything I've read, all I should have to do is reflash to the old ROM. Unfortunately, it never works! I can go back to OZ but flashing to the original Sharp ROM always produces some error in the filesystem. I can only assume that something in the OZ install has prevented me from going back to the old ROM.

Strange, this last flash seems to have worked. I got the fsck prompt and then reset and it came back.
