Title: Help! Need To Reinstall Qtopia On My C1000.
Post by: LodeRunner on March 03, 2009, 06:50:07 pm
I've just sold my akita on eBay, but the buyer apparently did not read the ad at all.  I gave him Angstrom / OPIE,  but he was expecting to have the default OS on it, and is upset that he can't some things he could on his other Zauruses.

I borrowed my father's eBay account to sell it.  It would be bad if the guy leaves negative feedback.

I bought the akita through Dynamism a couple years ago. It came with an English version of Qtopia installed.  I know I made a backup of it somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it. Is there somewhere I could download official Qtopia images for the C1000?  Alternatively, would some kind soul be willing to email an image to me?

I don't want anything bleeding edge or customized; just a nice, basic, stock Qtopia image.  I can talk the guy through installing it over the phone.

LodeRunner,

Have him grab the C1000 original NAND back up from Conics - http://downloads.conics.net/pda/zaurus-sl-...iginal-backups/ (http://downloads.conics.net/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/service-menus/original-backups/) - and do a NAND restore.

Will only take about 15 minutes to have a vanilla C1000 again

Cheers

Stu

Thanks for the link, but I can't help but notice they only have a JPN image.  When I received the Zaurus from Dynamism, it was running a fully English version of Qtopia...

EDIT: Perhaps he can simply install a language pack, such as this: http://qtopia.net/packages/SHARP/qpe-langu...5.0-8bp_arm.ipk (http://qtopia.net/packages/SHARP/qpe-language_1.5.0-8bp_arm.ipk) ?
