Sharp ROMs / Coming Back To Cacko From Oz/opie

« on: February 25, 2007, 07:19:37 pm »

ok, so i repartitioned the drive with the updater.sh utility but im still getting

"Error!! HDD is not initialized!"

i think this has something to do with the files from trisoft that i am supposed to place in the individual partitions. the only problem is that i dont know how to do that.

format error?  this is a well-known problem (seach forum for flash memory partition)... briefly
1) check the card has a partition
2) check its fat16 formatted - a fresh format is a good idea to prevent fragmentation
3) check the md5 of the files (for windows, get this program http://www.whitsoftdev.com/md5/)

alright, thank you. i have cacko flashed on my system. all i have to do now is restore the hdd partitions. to my understanding the pdaxromii3 updater.sh has a nice feature that restores the hd partitions. im going to give that a try. im not to good with fdisk.

alright, i put OZ on my z and now I'm stuck with it. i want cacko back but i don't know how to restore the hd partition table in OZ. i have downloaded the trisoft hd images but I'm still in the dark, i try to re-flash cacko but when the sd/cf card menu is supposed to load after the Japanese menu, oz boots.

Trisoft has pretty good instructions on his site, and 2 methods, i think

Follow the directions there?--and don't forget to re-image your HD

I have done exactly this using exactly those images (think I had to resort to the emergency method, though).

You will have (probably) to do a nand restore from the trisoft image, and an hd restore--then flash

when i do a nand restore in the D+M menu i get a format error. what am i doing wrong?

im sorry for being a noob. but i need a serious step by step guide to get out of this muck.

alright,

i have a planex gw-cf11h that i bought with my 3200 from conics and a Socket Go Wi-fi! p500 that i bought to replace the planex. none of the above work, I'm using cacko, the original ROM didn't display any text at all in the network setup menu just boxes.

i get "unsupported card" for both.

"ipkg says something went wrong. sorry."

at least it's polite

oh, and by the way. thank you for having such an informative site.

Hardware Mods / Replacing Microdrive With Cf

« on: January 11, 2007, 09:21:28 pm »

thanks for the fast reply.

that is very good to know. i hear horror stories about laptop hds failing and such, but i guess with the smaller moving mass the micro drive is more robust.

Hardware Mods / Replacing Microdrive With Cf

« on: January 11, 2007, 07:55:21 pm »

im getting a cl3200 to replace my tired jornada 720, but i have reservations about microdrives.

i did a search and found some info on replacing the micro drive with a larger micro drive but nothing on a cf replacement. i have several questions:

is their any reason i should shy away from replacing the 6gig mcd with an 8gig cf and running cacko?

is the lowered power consumption and faster load times of a cf card really worth the time/expense/risk?

do i really need to worry about micro drive failure?

if anyone could answer these questions and provide some detailed information on exactly how to install a new cf card that would be wonderful.

i use mandriva linux so doing linux partitions are within my abilities.
