Hi all,
I have been using OZ since I bought my Zaurus 2 years ago, but after lots of Flashing/reflashing I now have some Corrupted block in my internal memory
I tried every possible way but it is definitely not possible to recover from this kind of error...
So now I can't flash my 6000 with OZ or Angstrom but I manage to make the NAND restore/backup working. So I'm now back to the stock ROM with Debian/XQt
I am desperate to have OZ back on my Zaurus, I can't stand the SHARP stock ROM and I wanted to help testing the 2.6 kernel on the 6000 !!!!
So I need your help ! If somebody could provide me a NAND backup of their OZ - GPE (or e17) 3.5.4 on the 6000 that would be great !
We could even organise (if the OZ devs are OK) a NAND release of all the flavour of OZ to help people that have the same issue.
I may even be able to soon provide some space to host the images.
Contact me if you are interested
Thanks in advance

Well my call for help didn't really had the success I expected . Does nobody has a NAND backup of their OpenZaurus install ?

they probably do have backups, but those are likely to include personal data. so I doubt anyone is going to be willing to share those.... plus there aren't that many 6000 users, less those that have OZ

Well I know I used to make a NAND backup just before installing anything or after configuring but before putting any personnal data just to speed up the re-installation process...
Maybe now that the OZ team got a 6000 for testing they eventually could provide a NAND backup... at least I hope
Thanks for your answer anyway Meanie I was starting to feel lonely

I know there are pdaXrom NAND images available for 6000 but I don't think you want those...

What's stopping you from doing a normal C+D+reset flash?

Point me to instructions and I will do NAND Backup from tosa. It will contain OpenZaurus 3.5.4 in OPIE flavour with all upgrades available plus something.
Why OPIE? No problems if root password is not set ;D

Snappy :

Well the flash hangs before completing, due to the corrupted (Bad) blocks in the internal memory. I guess it is making checks that the NAND backup is obviously not doing.

Hi Hrw thanks
This is very easy you just need to go into the system menu by doing Fn + D + M + Reset at the same time. Then click on page down to go the NAND backup/restore.
BTW you can do a NAND before setting the password in GPE or e17 :
- after installing OZ asking you for a reset do the above Fn + D + M + Reset instead -> NAND backup
- then you will have a clean just installed image without the password set !
I believe this is quite useful for people like you that reinstall quite often to have these kind of backups
I'm willing to try to make a library of all the NAND I can find for all machines, to help people in the same situation, so even if you do not have a 6000 and have some clean NAND backups, send them over and I will try to host them Who knows one day you may be happy to find them somewhere ! I saw that lots of C1000 users had the same Bad Blocks issue.
Anyway if you find my idea intersting let me know Hrw. I know Guilhem used to do NAND release of his rom as it is very easy to install afterward.
