The original partition size for the C760/C860 was root 54272K( /dev/mtdblock2) and home 69632K ( /dev/mtdblock3)

hope this helps

Thanks.

I tried to repartition the NAND flash with pdaXrom installer,
and then install Sharp original rom, without success.

I guess I need to set bigger size to /, maybe 60 or 70 MB.

You will probably need to reflash the origianl NAND to get the partition sizes correct, then you should be able to upgrade to 1.40J.

has an original Japanese NAND for the C860 - Make sure you know what you are doing before trying this. It is possible (but rare) to turn your Z into a brick
