Impossible To Flash Sharp Rom On 5500
« on: June 06, 2005, 01:26:48 am »
After trying several ROMs on a 5500 (unfortunately I don't rmind in what order) :
 Cacko, Hybrid, Sharp, Open Zaurus, It's now impossible to flash a ROM from an Ospack file, either with C+D+RESET or from Diagnostic utility.
The two leds (green+Orange) are only on during 3 or 4 seconds, then turn off.
Does anyone know what it means?

You could try another CF card or reformat the CF card and download the Ospack again in case it's corrupted.

I had that problem once too. Turns out my usb card reader was messing up the Md5 hash when I put the ospack on the card. Had to use a different reader.
SL 5500 Cacko 3.10 ROM 64-0, Symbol Wifi
storage on 256MB Lexar High Speed SD card
64MB/32MB CF cards for removable storage.
