6000 - Tosa / Trying To Install To 6000l

« on: March 14, 2008, 06:21:43 pm »

Further to previous pleas for help, I'm still struggling - I can't find a SharpROM image for 6000L, and now I can't find the tools for updating anyway.  Does anyone have them, or better still can anyone point me to them, to avoid more work for folk trying to help?  I want to reinstall a clean SharpROM and Tesu-ise it to start with, then try G-ROM ideally.
Thanks,
Mark

For Sale / Wanted / Sl-c860 Small Battery Door

« on: October 03, 2007, 11:03:05 am »

Does anyone know where I can get a small battery door for an 860 etc in the UK?  Conics do them, but the shipping is nearly £7 ($14) for a part that costs £4 ($8).  Not really cost-effective!  
Thanks.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Can I Really Wreck A Zaurus Like This?

« on: September 09, 2007, 03:34:46 pm »

OK - now I _really_ need some ideas.  SL-C3100, happily runing Sharp.  I´ve written before about problems with trying to flash pdaXii13.  I´d got it back to Sharp by the rather long-winded process with re-formatting the HD and getting the images from Trisoft.  Thought I´d have a go with pdaXrom r198, as I had the suspend problem with ii13.  Followed the instructions for U-Boot.  Dead.  Won´t respond to DM or DB hard resets.  Any ideas?  I´ve tried leaving the battery out ages, no different.  Help please!!

Security and Networking / Docomo Wireless Card

« on: September 07, 2007, 08:32:42 am »

Hello everybody.  Ive got a possibly simple question.  SL-C 860 and 3100, both have been running SharpROM, and now Cacko.  A Japanese combined WiFi and wireless modem card, "DoCoMo P-in Free" works straight "out of the box" on Sharp, but is "unsupported" on Cacko.  I have tried to find differences between Sharp and Cacko /etc/pcmcia files, and can't find any relevant ones.  It's not the end of the world - I can afford another CF WiFi card, but if I can get it to work, it'd make me feel better.  Any ideas?  
Thanks

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Help Please For Reflashing 3100

« on: August 03, 2007, 03:41:12 am »

Dear All,
I know most of this - possibly even all of it - has been covered before, so apologies.  
I have a 3100 which was running Sharp.  I attempted reflashing to pdaXii13 by following the instructions.  A faulty installation that seemed OK but would not restore from suspend - there seemed to be something on the screen but no backlight and impossible to see error message.  
So tried to install Cacko (with which I thiought I was familiar from using it on an 860).  Used pdaXii13 NAND tools to restore HD partitioning to default.  Cacko install failed "HD not initialised".  
Trisoft seem to cover this with HD files, but do not explain in detail how to use them - just say boot in command line mode.  Do I just copy the files they give to the new partitions as created with NAND restore to default?
Sorry it's a bit long.  Hope someone can help.  Does the pdaXii13 problem sound familiar if I decide to try it again?
Thanks,
Mark

Cxx0 Hardware / Modem Problem

« on: June 21, 2007, 01:41:09 pm »

Hello all,
Can anyone help me to get the CF modem with the longest name in the world (Pretec FB CFVFM-5614RD) to work with 860?  I saw in a previous post that it will work, but I have no idea how.  Does it need a driver, or just an initialisation string?  I'm using Cacko 1.23 at the moment, but keen to try pdaX as well.
Thanks,
Mark
