Some people have asked prices.  Since it's bricked, I obviously can't ask as much.  Here is what I was considering would be fair.

For just the Zaurus, I was thinking $30 + shipping ($10 depending how far you live from 60008).

Another $15 for the CF WIFI card and $15 for the two SD cards and reader.  I'd combine shipping on these so you wouldn't have to pay any extra.

Or, $50 for everything plus $10 for shipping (if you live in continental US).

For Sale / Wanted / For Sale: Sl-5000d

I am selling my SL-5000d.   Unfortunately, I made a mistake in flashing the ROM with the 5500 ROM and turned it into a Brick.

The unit is like-new with no dead pixels, a perfect touch screen, perfect keyboard, etc.  I have the original box and all cables and manuals.  However, it's internal software is hosed unless you return it to Sharp where they will reflash the EEPROM using their JTAG cable.

If you know how to do a JTAG flash, you could restore this to new condition in a jiffy.  You could also use it for spare parts.  All the parts on this are in perfect condition.

I also have a CF WiFi card, two 64MB SD cards, and a USB SD card reader.

For offers, please PM me.  Thanks.

Was it the Sharp rom 5500 that you tried to flash?
Your zaurus is not necessarily a brick.. and it wont necessarily take a jtag to get it back

Oh? How then?

I've tried reflashing back to 5000d flash and it just hangs while flashing.  I can get into diagnostics menu but not much else.   Every post I've seen so far says once this happens, you need a JTAG reprogram.  If you can tell me otherwise I'd be happy to hear that.

5x00 General discussions / Help - Bricked Sl5000d ??

« on: December 07, 2004, 03:20:36 am »

PatBob was very helpful in sending me an e-mail on how he unbricked his SL5000D.  Unfortunately, it didn't help me.

I can't turn the unit On with On button.

I can't do the On+OK to get a shell now

I can do a Reset+C+D and the green light comes on but it hangs forever (hours anyhow)

I can do a Reset+D+P and get a diagnostic menu.  Says I have Version 3.10 :-(  Guess I was successful in flashing to new 5500 ROM which is why I'm hosed...

So has anyone tried the JTAG method or know of someone who has?

What did you flash with? An ospack or a zImage & initrd.bin combo?

In the latter case, you should be okay, in the former you're probably bricked.

Ospack

I'm trying to flash back to an older ROMIMAGE.

Yes, I pressed the reset button.  I have tried to reflash back to the older ROM but now when I try to flash, the green and orange light come on and stay on but never turn off -- not even after leaving it sit an hour

I have previously successfully flashed the Zaurus before.

« on: December 06, 2004, 02:09:45 am »

I flashed my SL-5000D with a SL5500 Flash.  Don't ask me how but I now have an almost brick.  I got all these weird corruption messages and now when I turn on the unit, it comes up "INIT: version 2.78 booting" but it hangs there.

I can get a Shell by turning it on while holding down the OK button but I don't know what to do now to restore the device.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks a bunch
