Lost My Sharp Rom For 5600
« on: July 29, 2009, 08:04:55 pm »
I changed ROMs and now want to go back to the original Sharp ROM for my SL-5600.  Problem is - I can't find it!  Any idea where I can get it?  I'm dead in the water.

I think this would be a good starting point: http://www.myzaurus.com/ROMupdate5.asp

Make sure that it's what you want before you flash your Zaurus, or you may (supposedly) brick it though.

Good luck!

Unfortunately ROMupdate5.asp states that it's for the 5500 not the 5600.  The ROM from MyZaurus.com states that it "can only be applied to the SL-5600 with ROM version 1.00".

After reading some other postings, I pressed format from the maintenance menu which restored the 5600 to it's original Sharp ROM.  So who knew...  in the PC world, format is a dangerous thing.  I then ran the update, and not only is the unit working, but so is my wireless card.
