check www.trisoft.de for the nand rom ( make sure, you get the right file - do not use the C1000 or C3000 one!!!)

3) Press C and D keys, hold this keys and insert battery
4) Led must flash on and off

Thank you for making a promising rom. However after trying rc11 and briefly rc12 on my C3100 I wanted to go back to the Sharp rom and got hit by this bootloader problem!

Could someone please clarify what the above isntructions do?

Basically I want to go back to the Sharp rom. I've downloaded the NAND backup from TriSoft, but I can't into the service menu (D+M). So I followed the above instructions, but I still can't get into the D+M menu, I keep booting back into pdaXrom when I switch the machine on.

I'm new to all this, this is my first Zaurus and I've only had it a couple of days, so if someone could kindly instruct me how to restore the Sharp rom I would be very grateful

(BTW please someone, update the instructions here [a href=\"http://www.pdaxrom.org/index.php?showid=42&menuid=11]http://www.pdaxrom.org/index.php?showid=42&menuid=11[/url] so that C3100 owners are warned about the consequences of changing the bootloader!)

cheers

Yep. In fact I've tried 3 different  procedures -- the 2 outlined here:

[a href=\"http://www.trisoft.de/en_c3100howto.htm]http://www.trisoft.de/en_c3100howto.htm[/url]

And the seemingly simpler method on page 30 of TriSoft's quick start guide.  The 3 procedures are detailed below:

Quote
1) Power down the Zaurus and remove all power sources (no AC adaptor and remove the battery!). Set the battery switch to the "Offen" position and wait for at least 5 seconds. Then connect the AC adaptor and put back the battery. Hold down the [D] and [M] keys and set the battery switch back to "Betrieb" (while keys are pressed!). After a short moment the diagnostics menu should appear.

No service menu, boots into pdaXrom.

Quote
2) If not, try it again and this time hold down the [D] and [M] keys before you restore the power (AC adaptor / battery).

This procedure was tricky, how do you keep the D+M keys pressed whilst inserting the battery and plugging in the AC power? Anyway I tried it a few times and I think I managed it, but still no service  menu

Quote
3) Set the battery switch to "Offen" and wait a couple of seconds. Connect the Zaurus to a power source (USB cable or power supply), hold down the keys "D" and "M" and switch back to "Betrieb"

Now this one doesn't explicitly say remove the battery, if this is correct, it would be a easiest to perform. But still I couldn't get the service menu.

Sorry if this sounds stupid -- in all 3 methods it doesn't explicitly say you have to press the on/off button (as a last step) -- I'm assuming that you do because if it wasn't pressed then nothing happens.

What is the "official"/definitive method of accessing the service menu?


thanks

Strange, after reading more of the forum it appears that the bootloader bug was fixed in/by rc11. Nevertheless, I'm unable to access the D+M service menu.

OK I've got it now. The instructions here seemed clearest:

[a href=\"http://downloads.conics.net/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/service-menus/]http://downloads.conics.net/pda/zaurus-sl-.../service-menus/[/url]

In my case I kept the D & M buttons pressed and as soon as I inserted the battery the service menu appeared.
