Title: If You Install Oz Can I Go Back To Sharp Rom?
Post by: brokengun on February 26, 2005, 03:40:35 pm

Im thinking about giving openzaurus a try, but If i dont like it then I want to go back to the sharp rom.. so can I go back just as easily as I install openzaurus? or is this a irreperable change?

Why would it effect you if I used OZ?
You can flash back to Sharp ROM no matter what the rest of the community is doing.

The Sharp  OS packs *do* reflash the bootloader, so if it dies while you are flashing, you can potentially kill your zaurus.

OZ does not do this, and from what I have gathered/experienced, botched OZ flashes are much more forgiving.

I reflashed to OZ the day I got my Z out of the box, and I never looked back. The flexability, and how should I say this, 'currentness' of OZ far exceeds that of the sharp rom. You won't regret it.
