Hi,
I have a customer who has given me a great challenge. He picked up a Zaurus c860 off eBay, but the seller doesn't remember the login. I have scoured the internet, and found the user's manual; from there I was able to perform the hard reset, but it still boots to a username/password prompt. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks, Tim. |

i've often heard the advice that the SD or CF card be formatted Fat16 for flashing purposes. All I have to add is that i've flashed cacko 3 times without any issues, using a FAT32 formatted CF card.

Hi,
I'd recommend a NAND restore. If the device has been running pdaX with a 121Mb root or some kind of debian a normal flash won't work. Chero. |
