Problem With Flashing My 5500
« on: September 13, 2005, 03:58:22 pm »
Hello guys....
I'm new in this forum and I think it's very interessing!!!!
Sorry my english is shit but i'm french user of zaurus....


My problem is the following:

I try to make an update of my zaurus with the latest sharp's rom...
with windows and the zaurus manager.... problem....don't work...
i try with a cf card and the 2 leds go on for a few seconds and then off.... but nothing change.... My cf card was in fat 16 and the file to update was with the good name Ospack....

Then i try different OS and the flashin was working but a the boot the screen was freezing....

Cacko was the only who works.... I had a prompt terminal....

I saw a topic in the forum:

links

and a try what he said and had the same problem....

I grabbed 2.12 (I think it was 2.12) flashed from the reset-D-P menu, and this time I got much farther - got a screen full of errors and then a 'enter root passwd or press ctrl-d to continue'

full reset and then an "init enter level 5" with a sharp logo and the next screen was freezing....
full reset again and now few errors "inode...." something like that lots of number and then a "INIT : Id "ln" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes" and then nothing.... just the green led who blinks....

I try to reflash another rom but now the 2 leds won't go off... for 2 or 3 hours.... and then i make a full reset....
the flashing block or something like that...
I can't make it anymore....
I think it's perheaps a memory problem....

I hope you understand what i wrote...
And thanks for the help... ;-)

Hello Seb,

First of all, i'm french too
1°) I hope I can help you in a few days, because I will be a 5500 owner soon.
2°) I think that the rom you tried is a 5600 rom : it really makes the difference (not the same CPU) you should try an 3.13 rom (look in ZUG downloads)
3°) Perhaps you should find more help in the Specific model/5500 topic
4°) tu trouveras aussi de l'aide parmi des sites français tels que
- www.pdafrance.com/pdaforum : section village linux
- zaurusfr.org

See you, à bientôt.
