Hello.,
after recieving some encouraging feedback on the pdaxrom blog, I tried to flash the new UBoot system on my C3000. Flashing went fine with NO errors, however the unit went dead after the reboot - can't even access the diagnostics menu, although I am not sure I am accessing it correctly....does anyone have any suggestions, or is the unit totally dead?
many thanks

did you from D+M menu a complete NAND erase ( screen 3/3 extra menu )
do this and try again
( there may be problems if the nand inst clean )
after installing u-boot
repower the zaurus and
hold the front power button approx 8 sec
then there should the pdax emergency-linux
.... insert your pdaX-rootflashfilesystem in cf , wait some seconds , an type /media/cf/autoinstall.sh /media/cf
( it may be named autoboot.sh , i dont exactly remember )
then it should install pxaXrom.
i had also problems installing u-boot without doing a nand erase from service menu
( i hope you have done a backup from service menu ...)

could you please give me detailed instructions on how to do this? I tried in all ways I knew, but the unit is still dead...did installing the uboot wipe off the Diag menu too?

No... Thats if we are on the same page...
Power + OK... Gone... Well the standard sharp bootloader version
D + M menu... I call it Diag or Service Menu... Still there but FN + D + M
Unplug all power sources (Battery, AC Adapter)
Lay Z on flat surface... press FN + D + M
Once all a pressed and held..
Plug in your Z with battery out... dont let go of keys...
Services Menu should then appear...

You need install new uBOOT for SL-Cxx00
- Remove battery
- Put SD with uBOOT install files
- Hold C+D and plug power
- Wait green and yellow lights turn off and remove power and SD/card
- Put a SD card with new pdaXrom install files
- Now Hold (OK) and plug power, wait about +/-20 seconds, the emergency system goes UP
- On question say "y" (YES)
- Now wait for install
- After finish, remove power, put battery
- Hold Power Buttom for 20 seconds +/- and pdaXrom goes start
<b>Note:</b>
if emergency system not loads try manual install see uBOOT

You cant die you SL-C3000 with uBOOT install...

thanks to both of you...I followed InSearchOf's instructions carefully, but to no avail - the C3000 is still pretty much dead. The power LED doesn't light up either when battery and power are both in...should I keep the battery out for a night or so? Anything else I might do?
PS Anunakin: I added you to my MSN, hopefully we can chat!

The same thing happened to me after i flashed the new install, i let it sit unplugged though for like 10 min and then held D+M plugged it in and let go, then the diagnostic menu came back up and i was able to flash back to the original bootloader i had saved. No idea why i couldn't access it after the flash though, i've used it many times though and i know i wasn't pushing the wrong combination.
after i used the builting updater to install uboot my power and hd lights didn't come on either, so don't be discouraged, i was paranoid my c3000 was dead for a good 10-15 minutes, its back and kicking now with the same beta1 i've been stuck with for the last 8 months or so. =(

yep, same here. Luckily I was able to flash back to the dbk I downloaded from conics.net -- I suggest you try the latest OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1, GPE has many things you might need off PdaXrom beta 1 and suspend etc. are far more stable.
As for 121 on the C3000, it seems an absolute no-go for C3000 at the moment. I suggest that sash or laze change the Cxx00 label, as far as spitz is concerned, it's not really working...

Do any of the pdaXrom devs have a c3000? Doesn't look like it

the way I got mine to work again after my flashing incident was this:
1. unplug the power to your Zaurus and take out battery.
2. take out any cards (CF or SD) you may have inside your Zaurus.
3. hold the "ok" button and don't let go and proceed to put the battery back in.
4. plug the power cord back in while still holding down on the OK button and now click the battery door close while never letting go of the OK button and then press and hold your ON/OFF button for about 10-20 secs.
5. It should now power back up.
hope this helps you out.
