@Varti

Sorry for the delay - life and other projects delayed me..

I've uploaded it to my google drive and made a public link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B3PD2iWOj_8-0Hat7IW9gI4y-MowBPAN/view?usp=sharing

Let me know if you can get to it..

It's in a rar file and the underlying file is imaginatively called Netwalker.img no passwords / hashes.

Thanks for the fast reply, I’ve actually had a little bit of luck having read some of the archive posts I saw that I had missed a step. I had not previously plugged in the device when trying to use the sd card to run the restore. It appeared all along I had everything I needed. Except initially for an 11v plug which I found a suitable one on Amazon thankfully.
I tried the sd card that came with my device which I thought had the restore files on it and luck has it it worked. I even translated it to English connected to the web and visited a few web pages. I’m wondering if I should image this disk or if it’s the same as those that have been provided.

Hi I have joined this forum as when searching for how to restore the Sharp Netwalker I came across this post.
I attempted to download from the web archive but sadly the link seems to be failing and timing out.
So if anyone has a copy of the file from the website netwalker.img I would really appreciate a copy. Id like to start by resetting it to the stock build.
I bought mine via the yahoo auctions on Buyee but frustratingly the build on it is password locked and in Japanese and Im unable to find a way around this to reset it.
It came with a 2gb card which looks to have a build on it as the file structure looks plausible as a build disk as the files match what I had read online in a few forums, but it fails to rebuild when holding down the two mouse buttons when I restart it despite getting the prompts to do so it simply switches off.

So any advice would be greatly appreciated, even if I can find a way to reset the password so I can convert it back to English and maybe navigate it more easily.

Thanks Varti for posting the archive link I found it useful, although frustrating as I can't use the restore instructions from the web archive.
