Title: japanese Rom without NAND restore
Post by: jabbath on April 07, 2004, 10:03:49 am
Hi there!
I\'m running the english modified SharpRom by sash after trying the pdaXrom. Now I\'d like to flash the original japanese ROM without a NAND-Restore. Is it possible to get a ROM with an initrd.bin, tools.tar and updater.sh? How is the sashrom made?
Were do I get the japanese Rom-Sources and how do I make a Rom from it? Are there HowTos?

thanks, jabbath

If you have a C750, C760 or C860 there are no original Sharp roms available that I have been able to find.

As far as I can tell your only option is the NAND restore, although you could try an early Sash/Cacko rom that doesn\'t have the Japanese stuff removed from the read-only filesystem, flash that, then erase the flash to return back to original Japanese.

If you find one please let me know - that way I can stop playing in the Service Menus

I\'m going to order a SL-C860 in the next few days. I\'ll be putting OZ on it I should imagine.
I will back up my original Japanese ROM when it arrives, would you like a copy?

I have no previous Zaurus experience, so if my intentions are not possible please let me know.

Cheers,
Tux

Thanks for the repl/y/ies  edit
Are there HowTos, so that I could make a japanese ROM by myself?

edit:
@TuxInvader:
Yes, your intentions are not possible
If you make a backup, it just backs up everything except the data from the ROM :-/
The other possibility would be to make a NAND-Backup, but that\'s not what I want, \'cause I don\'t want to play with the service-menu.

So, again  :
Is it possible to roll up a japanese ROM like the original sharpROM??
Are there HowTos??

thanks a lot, jabbath
