Title: Flashing a SL-5500
Post by: scarab on October 26, 2004, 04:57:09 pm

Is it true that you can only flash a SL-5500 with a CF card? Or can you flash using an SD card?

For the 5500 it has to be a CF card.

thanks for the info... i've only got a 512mb SD card. looks like i need to buy a small CF card to flash with.

one more thing, which is the most popular ROM for the 5500?

Flash memory is so cheap now, that they are practically giving it away so no excuse really not to get a small CF card (or even a large one for that matter! )

Scarab,

Yes you will need a CF card for flashing with SL5500 - I made the exact same mistake as you with mine - but like yer man says, CF cards are cheap now

As for choice of Rom - I have only tried a few, namely Sharp, OpenZaurus and TheKompany

TheKompany rom is my favourite so far as all my accessories worked straight out of the box with this, including getting my aircable paired with my SonyEriccson z600 phone for GPRS connectivity  

HTH,
