Title: Where Does Nandlogical Live? Updating Kernel
Post by: realm on May 27, 2007, 11:17:04 pm

I was trying to flash my own kernel today and may have done something bad to my c3000

booted up off the pdaxii13 installer ran the same command that was in autoboot.sh to load a new kernel:

Code: [Select]

nandlogical /dev/mtd1 WRITE 0x5a000 0x160000 kernel.img
reset and had old kernel still, so i tried booting off the install sd card again and now its complaining that nandlogical doesn't exist and it can't write to /var. i get the feeling that just overwrote my recovery tools, =( anyone been in this situation and know what to do?

Try using Fn+D+M instead of just D+M and then flash back to the Sharp ROM (or you could try flashing to pdaXii13 and see if it works). Supposedly the D+M menu is easily corruptible but the Fn+D+M menu is in ROM and is therefore not easily corruptible.

If it doesn't work, you are probably doing something wrong (or something's REALLY wrong with your Z, as no one has been able to brick their Z by software means yet [at least I haven't seen a post about a truly bricked Z]).
