Sharp ROMs / Newbie Restore after Cacko 64-0

« on: November 04, 2004, 01:36:03 am »

How do I restore the default partitions on the 5500 flash after I have tried the 64-0 Cacko?  I would like to go back to Sharp 3.13, but I cannot get Ospack or the zImage and initrd.bin stripped from the Ospack to work.  I assume it involves differing flash partitions.

I would really, really appreciate any help.

I fully support Pyrates and sonicbuddha.  I would love to try this out.

Thanks to anyone with guidance.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / /etc/modules no such file on other than 64-0

« on: October 30, 2004, 06:53:58 pm »

64-0 with opie seems to work fine with my 5500.  However, if I try anything other than 64-0, such as 32-32 or 48-16, I get an error after "starting boot" that says "/etc/modules no such file or directory."  My z locks, and I have to hard reset to fix.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Sharp ROMs / No Roms Work

I can get the bootstrap to work.  Is there anything I can check to see what might be going wrong?

Sharp ROMs / No Roms Work

Thank you very much for your help.

I tried being patient, but after fifteen minutes, still nothing but splash.  The screen goes to half blank-half splash, and then I have to do a soft reset to get any response.

Sharp ROMs / No Roms Work

« on: October 27, 2004, 09:33:33 pm »

I cannot get any Roms to work on my 5500.  When I flash to hybrid64-0, I get the dreaded "respawning message", and my z locks, but even after new reflash, I do not get the install script message.  When I flash to hybrid 32-32, I get the penguin in the top right of the screen on startup, a blinking cursor for about 10 seconds, and then my z locks.  When I flash to openzaurus 64-0 with gpe, I get the GPE splash, and then my z locks.

I have searched through everything, but I cannot find anything that applies to this problem on the 5500.  Methods for other models do not work.

Please help.

I cannot even get the Sharp ROM back.  Lights come on when I reflash, but only momentarily, and back to the beginning.

I'll be happy at this point with any ROM that works.

General Discussion / help with SD read/write speed

Sorry for what is probably a ridiculously basic question, but how do I install the new module on my 5500.  Do I have to recompile?  Thanks for any help.

Accessories / Cases..

I too struggled with the case decision, and the lack of product selection for Zaurus 5500 did not help. I ended up searching for other less customized options. Not sure if this might be what you are looking for, but this Otter case has worked great for me. It definitely does not fit in a shirt or coat pocket, so I primarily use it for travel when I need a hard case.

Zaurus 5500 fits pretty snugly with a little room to spare on height and depth.  Width is almost perfect.
