So my sl-c3200 came with the 1.03JP ROM on it, and like a dolt I didnt do a NAND backup of it. Does anyone out there have a NAND backup of the 3200's original 1.03JP load?
I have searched the internet as well as Sharps site and they do not have it for download there.

Try this site (Conics)
I don't know the version number, but the "SL-C3200-JPN-NAND-original.zip" is available there.

I purchased the device at Conics. However the version over there is 1.01 JP. I believe that the timezone changes were in 1.03 JP so I want that one. Repeated emails to Bret and to Conics have gone unanswered, so I am looking for anyone here who might have done a NAND backup on their 3200 before trying other ROM's.
I would just go and use Cacko, however it was built before the 3200 ROM was out, and such is missing bug fixes like the Calendar bug fix that effects you not being able to see some of your synced appointments, and a host of other things. So what I am trying to do is take the stock 1.03JP ROM and convert it to English and use it.

You could try e-mailing Conics. They seem to be very obligating. You could also try TRISoft's backup.

Up to yesterday, I was not getting a response from Conics, where I bought the device. Brett just got back to me and will be getting me this NAND backup when he gets back into town. I also want to thank Trisoft. They provided me with a 1.02 jp ROM is short order. They didnt have to do that, but they did anyways. They are a great bunch of people, and I would urge any German users to purchase stuff from them.

I did have 1.03 on my unit when it shipped. Others in this forum had it also, however it looks as though Bret cannot find a unit with 1.03JP. On another note, why does Sharp not post the ROM's for these on their Japanese site, do they not want to support their user base.

can you find an updater on Sharp site which will let you update a 1.02 to a 1.03 (and then you'd do nand backup afterwards?)

Hi bit_bucket,
we'll keep an eye on the next shipments for the 1.03 version.
But all last units came with 1.02 and they were freshly made...
On another note, why does Sharp not post the ROM's for these on their Japanese site, do they not want to support their user base.
The answer is simple: Sharp is not providing any NAND
backups because they don't even tell their users that
such thingys exist or that there is some DiagMenu.
Believe it or not, but our server logs show that our
startup guides and NAND-sets are very popular in Japan.
There're also a lot of mirrors and links from japanese Zaurus
sites to our docs and downloads.
Sharp sells the Zauri as enduser devices there. If it doesn't
work properly, they tell you to use the reset to shipping
state via the "OK"+PwrOn option. If this won't solve your
problem, you have to visit a Sharp service center...

Problem is, the Sharp site does not have an updater. I really wish I had done a NAND backup before even booting it up for the first time.

Strange, both of the 1.02 ROM's Ive gotten from TRIsoft as well as the english Conics one, dont report their version number in the About tab. What is there is --.-- JP. Was this NAND taken before the unit was booted for the first time? Any ideas what causes that or how it's fixed?
