I got no response when pressing OK and ON/Off buttons in order to boot up the "Japanese Service Menu", as it described at the following list in order to flashing ROM from an empty SL-C860.

Have read FAQ:s on CONICS.NET and read discussions on the OESF forum about installing ROM... No one of the greatest hints get me in success!

Believe me, I was very surpriced and confused because the Japanese Menu look to be a litle slightly hardware rudimentary in Cxx0, according to all those manuals I've read. I think there is no other way to flash/update ROM and flash partitions than using the Japanese Menu. The NAND Diagnostic Mode provide no options or functionality in order to flash/upgrade and repartition the internal flash. Without those functionality my Zaurus is useless.

It's very strange that the Japanese Menu doesn't work. I've already maked sure to first press and hold OK button, then press Power while keeping OK button pressed. I also make sure that my battery is not completely empty. It is almost full charged. Nothing happens - Just NAND-limited!

What shall I do to flash/update my Zaurus with a new ROM then?

Please, I am very greateful for all your help and if someone could tell whats going on here! Actually, I need all your expertise to make my Zaurus in a working mode and not in a NAND-limited.

By the way, what does it mean with "PRESET is in state NG" due to a flash checksum? Words fails me! Does this information cover my zaurus against NAND error or damage?

In case of emergency recovery usage I've done every steps that is written in the TRISOFT "STARTUPGUIDE" to push up the Japanese Menu. But it doesn't make me in success. Please, have a look at http://www.trisoft.de/pdf/c750qs.pdf if you have not seen it yet.

I've also make an attempt to boot into the classic Login-prompt just by doing five simple steps due to the Trisoft startupguide. Actually, I do as follow:

Flip the battery switch to "Offen" and pull the battery out wait appr. 1 minute Re-insert the battery Hold "D" + "B" keys pressed and flip the switch back to "Betrieb" Continue holding "D" + "B" pressed and power the Zaurus on

These steps doesn't let me into the embedded system (Linux Embedix) and do emergency recovery from there. Nothing happens and that is very strange too! Regardless of the state, I am sure it must be some way to make recovery or come to rescue, isn't it?

So, if you have a similar problem or experience according to Embedix and Linux for embedded systems you're welcome.

Thanks
