Zaurus - pdaXrom / Failed Install

« on: July 23, 2008, 06:13:47 pm »

Sorry I panicked first, then I started looking around for answers...

I was able to recover by doing a nand restore.

I've tried two ways of installing u-boot. First I copied the files to a fat16 128mb sd card and booted into the Sharp emergency console and tried running it through that, it's what initially killed my c760. Then I tried again after doing a nand restore and held c + d in while plugging in the AC cable. Both the led's lit up for about 10-15 seconds and then turned off. I wasn't able to turn it on and I am performing another restore.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Failed Install

« on: July 22, 2008, 12:22:52 pm »

I attempted to install pdaxrom on my c760. I tried copying the files to my sd card as I had with angstrom and then restarting, going into the emergency mode, etc etc; but that didnt work.

I saw a post mentioning uboot, so i downloaded that from the same directory that I found pdaxrom,http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/pdaxrom/download/r197/c7x0-c860/, and repeated the process that I used above... It went through the process and said:
"Writing 00000" and then it counted upwards for a few minutes.

It got to the point where it says u-boot is now installed, now rebooting. I locked up then. Even when I disconnected the power and flipped the latch on the battery, it stayed on. After popping the battery out and popping it back in, I tried to do the emergency boot like before, no go.... Now the charge light doesn't even turn on at all...

Any ideas?
