How-to flash a new ROM
- Prepare a compatible memory card. It can be an SD type or CF type memory card, but it must be formated as FAT16.
- Copy updater.sh, consolescroll, zImage, initrd.bin, on to the prepared memory card. You may choose to use only a zImage file or a initrd.bin if you don't want to change one or the other.
- Before updating make sure that you backup any data that you wish to save.
- Push the reset button on the rear of the handheld using the stylus.
- Connect the A/C adapter to the handheld. The orange charge light should now be lit.
- Enter the maintenance menu. Holding down the Okay button, push the power button.
- Select item #4 to update.
- Select the type of card you prepared, either SD or CF.
- The handheld will reboot into a seperate hidden kernel used for reflashing the device, execute the updater.sh script, and reflash it.
- When everything is finished, you will be instructed to reset the device.
How-to restore the original SL-6000 ROM
This is for the SL-6000L only. You can also find a backup ROM for the 6000W here http://www.externe.net/zaurus/flash/.
- Download http://www.externe.net/zaurus/flash/updates/SL6000L-US-1.12.zip
- Extract files onto a SD or CF card formatted as FAT16
- Connect the A/C adapter to the handheld. The orange charge light should now be lit.
- Hold down the 'Q' and 'T' keys and while holding, push down the reset button with your stylus.
- When the unit begins to flash the green mail light will turn on. This light will stay on until it has finished.
Troubleshooting the lights
- If the mail light doesn't turn on, then the handheld could not find any files to flash.
- If the mail light starts to blink it indicates an error has occured. You may have corrupt files on your memory card.
