Title: Trying To Install To 6000l
Post by: mfbrown on March 14, 2008, 06:21:43 pm

Further to previous pleas for help, I'm still struggling - I can't find a SharpROM image for 6000L, and now I can't find the tools for updating anyway.  Does anyone have them, or better still can anyone point me to them, to avoid more work for folk trying to help?  I want to reinstall a clean SharpROM and Tesu-ise it to start with, then try G-ROM ideally.
Thanks,
Mark

 You should be able to find what you require at this site:Original rom for 6000L (http://familiar.sdgsystems.com/pub/zaurus/sl6000/)

Thanks very much - it's amazing how much is out there when you know!  
Now I can try G-ROM and Tetsu in the knowledge that I can revert if there are problems.

EDIT:  Sorry to be a pain, but the .zip file doesn't have installer.sh.  It has installer.pro, which I'm unsure about.  If I follow the instructions, nothing seems to happen.  The lights come on, but that's it.  I gave up after about three hours.  It doesn't take longer than that to flash the NAND, does it?  And using the maintenance menu, it definitely won't do it without installer.sh.  I can confirm that it is a FAT16 CF card.

Thanks again,
Mark
