Hello. I have been having alot of problems with my Zaurus SL5500 lately because of a very dumb mistake I made while trying to upgrade the ROM from myzaurus.com
I was using the synchronization software under Windows XP and everything was running smooth until I pushed the reset button too soon during the upgrade. I thought it was already done upgrading but I found out later that it actually didn't even begin to upgrade. It appears as if it only erased everything on the Zaurus.
Now, everytime I start the Zaurus, the following text appears under the red and white "SHARP" logo:
INIT: version 2.78 booting
INIT: No inittab file found
INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
This is very dissapointing to me because I just bought the Zaurus off eBay not even a week before this happened. I tried searching all over the internet and could only find a few other people with the same problem as me on the OpenZaurus website.
I tried flashing the Zaurus using a 64MB SanDisk CompactFlash card formated as "FAT" under Windows XP, and then loading it with the Ospack file from myzaurus.com or a zImage and init.bin file from this website. None of them had any effect when I pressed C+D and the Full Reset button. No green light turned on, as a matter of fact the orange battery light turns off as soon as I push the Full Reset button. I am sure the power cord is connected and the battery is fully charged and inserted correctly.
The Zaurus is not detected anymore when I plug it in to my computer.
This is very frustrating as all I was trying to do was get my Linksys WCF12 wireless card working and I heard it works without any problems under the newer ROM.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
