Sharp ROMs / 5600 and tk ROM, what am I doing wrong?

« on: February 15, 2004, 02:53:38 am »

Thanks!  That is the piece I was missing, I never found the site you point me to with 5600 specific tk roms ... I was using the 5500 versions from the ZUG Download section as there were no 5600 versions ... things are working for me now ...

I believe I have the proper files, and just a note, I believe you need to create a \'zImage.bin\', not \'zImage\' file for 5600, that is how it is in the zip file and when you decode updater.sh that is what it is looking for ...

I am not using an mversion.bin file, is that important?  Maybe I will try that later ...

thanks!

Sharp ROMs / 5600 and tk ROM, what am I doing wrong?

I seem to have some fundamental problem flashing my 5600.  I tried the OZ stuff, without success (see post in OZ forum) and then have tried to flash the tk ROMs in several different ways, all without success.  I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that I should be using the 5500 versions of the kernel and initrd.  I have tried flashing:

- the 1.0 final zImage and 2.0 alpha initrd
- just the 2.0 alpha initrd
- just the 1.0 final initrd

all without success.  I get to the point where the updater sees the files and updates the kernel (in the first case) and the RO image, all seems to go fine and it reboots at the end of that process and then I get to the \"Sharp ... wait approximately 2 minutes\" screen and I stay there forever ...

I then reflash with the Sharp ROM CF that I have and it all comes back just fine ...

I must be doing something wrong, but I can\'t seem to figure it out, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.3.5 and my 5600

Thanks for the info ... I am still having all of the same problems, but on your recommendation, I switched over to the tkrom ... now I am posting a question over in the Sharp ROMs forum as I couldn\'t get that to work either ...

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.3.5 and my 5600

« on: February 13, 2004, 10:02:09 pm »

I have been trying to get OZ onto my 5600 that I got yesterday and have had no end of troubles, starting with following the instructions on the OZ website, which are evidently for the 5500, but didn\'t brick my 5600 thankfully.  I found lots of odd things:

- there seemed to be no downloads for the stable 3.2 OZ release for the 5600, so I grabbed the the 3.3.5 stuff
- somewhere they specifically tell you to rename zImage.blah.blah to zImage, but I think it really should be zImage.bin
- whenever I flash back to the Sharp ROMs (I somehow had the foresight to create that CF and set it aside beforehand), I still have the terminal and other apps that I installed ... it would seem like those should have been wiped

When I did seemingly get the OZ stuff to flash, it rebooted and gave me trillions of messages on the console that looked like they contained \"jffs\" and \"Bad Magic Number\" and a hex value or two ... that went on for quite a while until i powered down ...

anyone have any ideas?  what am i doing wrong?

thanks!
