This is a new article. Please help adding missing details.

This page is concerned with recovering a Zaurus from a bad/broken installation and restoring it back to the Sharp ROM. This is the most common case of recovery; those people who are using alternative ROMs probably know how to reinstall or retrieve a back up. Some people buying a Zaurus second hand will find an unusable installation but have no experience in recovery.

Restoring NAND

You will need a NAND Flash ROM image appropriate to your Zaurus. Either you already have one from a previous back up or you download one. The procedure is detailed at NAND Flash Restore.

Restoring Hard Disk

What is the best procedure ? If the drive has been reformatted then the user probably wants to format it as FAT. Where to obtain disk images ?

  • Zaurus models SL-3000, 3100 and 3200 come with a microdrive. Restore the drive by USB.
