It sounds like the Flash Chips are worn out.

Try doing a NAND restore from the mantenance menu.

EDIT:

Would also be helpful to know WHAT the Z is. . . Poodle? Collie? 5KD?

Oh sorry, I have sl-5500. I don't think I worn the flash out. But it was a refurbished model. I bought it on eBay and they lied and said it was new. It was sealed from sharp but it was still a refurbished one. There is even chew marks on the back of the case.

Assuming your last flash didn't break anything (e.g. because the files were too large), it ought to work:

Check:

* names of the files
* md5sums of the files
* CF card formatting/partition is okay

As a last resort you could try flashing the Sharp ospack file, which will re-write everything (including the flashing software, so be careful).

I've tried all of that. The official Sharp ospack wont even flash. I've tried multiple roms from multiple sources.

GPE stopped booting, it just went to the every start of x and stopped. So I wanted to reflash something else. I copied the rom to my cf card like normal but now flashing wont work. The lights come on briefly then back off.

I went into DIAG menu and checked the Flash (sum) and it is comes back bad csum=2f1b, sum=250b

Is that why my zaurus wont flash? I tried about every rom I could find. How can I fix this?

Thanks for the help.

I was trying to flash my Zaurus but with no success. By mistake when I was doing the c+d+reset thing my finger slipped and I got this.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Qpe Ext Image.

« on: September 15, 2005, 01:02:11 am »

Is there any gpe ext images around? Any one willing to make a fresh one for me? Or How can I get the files from the jffs2 with a Linux desktop or my zaurus w/ Oz opie.

I can't reflash my Zaurus. I don't have access to a compact flash card, the only person I know that uses one is my boss and she is out of town.

Any ways thanks for the help.

Any one have any experience with the above on a Z5500 running TKC ROM 1.0 ?

If it works it looks like just the thing at £44 http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/4134.htm

There is a two lines of pixels that are 2 px high and ago all the way across the screen at the very bottom they are on all the time when the zaurus is they were white. I did d+p thing said here https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10446 and ran a few test. Now the two lines are mulicolored and annoying. What can I do to change them back to white or remove them?
