Reflashing To Another Rom

ohh and one last thing.  extract the ospack directly into the cf fat16 card.  I remember one time a while back placing the image into a ntfs partition damages it so i just keep them zip from now on.  from zip directly into fat 16

that was the answer.  do not place on other partition such as ext or fat32 or what ever.  just unzip directly into cf card which should be fat16

Reflashing To Another Rom

I have been using a FAT16 card for flashing - this was'nt exactly the cause of the problem, but having viewed another post on the OZ forum, I managed to solve this.

What I need to do was download an old Sharp ROM - but instead of naming it 'Ospack', it was renamed to 'ROMIMAGE'. I then ran the flash update from the service menu, which allowed me to flash the sharp rom this time. After it finished, it crashed out into a shell again.

However, it must have recreated the original partitions, because I was then able to reflash with OZ or tCKRom, and this time it booted up OK.
