C1000/3x00 Hardware / Brick Yard

« on: November 07, 2005, 12:58:38 pm »

I'm still reading and learning.  The boot menu comes up, not the service menu (this normally comes up only when pressing ok+on, but I get this screen regardless).  

I haven't tried the D+M thing yet.  I guess that gives me the service menu.  I suppose that is where I can use the NAND backup that Trisoft posted - Thanks everyone.  I'll do some more reading on the service menus and see if I can breath life into this thing again.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Brick Yard

Definition of a brick: To "brick" a Zaurus means that the unit had to be sent to Sharp for servicing. If you reflash or restore and the Zaurus is better, you did not "brick" it (Definition from http://zaurus.spy.org/zinfo.html#GLOSSARY)

I have loved my 3 months with my eBay purchased C3000.  Now it is a beautiful, glossy white brick.  No, I can't re-flash it.  The service menu comes up when I power up, but it doesn't respond to anything I do.

There is hope!  When searching for a place to sent my brick for servicing, I found this page: http://pocketworkstation.org/files/recover...ash-recover.txt
It explains how to flash the un-flashable.  But it says to only use device specific files as the wrong version will mess things up even worse.  BUT I can't find any files for devices newer than the 860.  

Do you know where I can get correct C3000 de-bricking files?  If not, do you know where I can send my brick for repairs?

I tracking down the special kernels from tetsu.  18b didn't seem to work - I always got a kernel panic when it booted.  So I put on 18a with the kernel modules for 18a and the new wireless drivers and everything worked.

Thanks for the help drnick.

..
But, I've got still a little problem solving this will make mi Z c760 work 100% . I bought a PLANEX GW-CF11X, downloaded the last prism3 drivers from sharp website, with these drivers in the original Sharp ROM everything worked perfectly but in cacko ROM the card is recognized and no led blinks at all, after cardctl status I see that is suspended but it doesn't change its status after cardctl resume, any hint?

Have you had any luck getting your Planex card working?  [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11933]TechMetal says his is working[/url], but I haven't had been able to get mine working.

Security and Networking / Planex Wireless Card On C3000

How did you get the Planex card to work?

I've installed this using the cacko rom on a C3000.  The Network configuration gui has never gotten the card working.  

I did try this with the OpenZaurus rom and got it to work, so I know the card isn't defective.  

I've dinked around with the files in /etc/wlan with no luck.
