New pdaXrom installer (to have just Root partition)

[jerrybme]

Ashley:
I ran  mtdtest from my Cf card and just put my Cf in my card reader and uploaded directly from there.
Thanks,
Jerry

Ashley:
Is the output of mtdtest  supposed to be hex or ascii? If it is ascii I must have really borked my internal memory somehow or perhaps the binaries from your mtdtest  got corrupted somehow in the download or extraction process. I'll try redownloading again and run again. If the output is the same, would a NAND restore from a SYSC750.BKD possibly fix the problem?
Thanks for your help.
Jerry

Ok, retried everything and this file looks different in hex than the previous file (but it's still Greek to me)
Thanks,
Jerry

with a SL-5600:

Code: [Select]

Dumping data starting at 0x00020aa4 and ending at 0x00020af4...
Dumping 20aa4 - 20af4
mtdparts flash pattern NOT recognized. You cannot use modified installer :-(
Please report. Attaching mtdnand file will help a lot

Hi There, just tried that installer and it really worked. But
now i got a damn problem:

The Install of pdaXrom with the new installer worked, i made the
backup to the 760-kernel, but forgot to set the partiton-size from
45MB to 57MB. And now...

...i cannot flash anymore. I´m able to reach the Flash-Menu, i can
choose SD, but after that he just starts pdaXrom. pdaXrom itself runs
smoothly, but since i forgot to set the partition on 57MB i´m out of space,
and that´s why i want to reflash.

Even so i cannot go into the Servicemenu, cause the "D"+"M"-Method
don´t work anymore!!!


Need really really help!

P.S.: Tried that with my SD-Card (pdaXrom-install-files on it), and with my
CF-Card (Cacko1.22-install-files on it), both didn´t work.

...sure you have ac attached, haven't you? and kept out the battery for at least 5 sec? If not, that could be a point; anyway, it's too simple to be the case - just starting help by the basis

[Sam Hell]

good points at last, never underestimate anything

But tried it again carefully now, with eyes, ears and mind open

...still nothin...


[EDIT] But if it´s a help, i can describe the screen i get from pdaXrom.

It doesn´t boot completely, i´ve got the blue pdaXrom-screen at top,
under that a few pages text going through so fast that i can´t say what
it was. But it halted now, and the last line is:

INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel


and that´s it. I think he has all modules loaded necessary for pdaXrom
to start, i read something about "usb", "cramfs", "net_fd", "vendorID" and
so on...


[EDIT2] and what the hell happened that i can´t access the servicemenu???

Hi,
where to find all information about nandlogical and boot-process?
nandlogical:
1) the second argument always is READ or WRITE?
2)if I copy from device mtd1 at address 0x70000- what I get?
(or maybe full map of /dev/mtdX )
3)which mtd's are logical devices and which aren't?
4)Is always secure (for zaurus) to test with nandlogical when reading?
(I have never used nandlogical yet)
boot-process:
where to find full description?
where are located kernels (Sharp and this one from Cacko)-
maybe it is possible to mount /dev/mtdx and copy Sharp's kernel to cf card?
(I am using Cacko 1.22 on C860)
Thanks in advance
