Hard reset question
« on: December 23, 2003, 03:12:05 pm »
I\'ve just got a SL-5000D off a colleague at work running :-

Opie Ver 0.9.3
L-Kernel 2.46 -rmk1 -np2 embed
OpenZaurus ver 3.2

I am trying to re-flash \'ROMIMAGE\' or flash to \'romimage-1.37\' by following Rom Flashing from the HowTo section.

The rom**** file is the only one on the CF Card and its formatted to fat16.
on hold down C&D keys and pressing full reset I get both Green and Amber lights but they only stay lit for about 2 - 3 second not the 3 minute the HowTo indicates.

I leave it for a few minutes then continue the procedure , removing the CF , press full reset again, replacing battery clover, put switch back to normal, switch on and it boots back to OZ and all the same settings.

Any advice ?

Check those instructions again. You probably need a initrid.bin file as well.

Hey chal,
nice try. But please have a look at the date of RAMs post (Dec 2003!)  
I hope he has solved his problem and is not still waiting for an answer.
