Trying To Reflash My Zaurus
« on: August 10, 2006, 12:49:48 pm »
Hello, Zaurus users!

Some time ago I burned my power adapter and now I charge directly my battery by external charger. But I am a little bored with my Cacko, and wanted to check out pdaxrom.

So, the question is - is it still possible to reflash the Zaurus? When I try, it says something in Japanese (after I select SD), that should probably mean that it still needs some power adapter to be plugged in.

Is there any hope? Or only XQt?

no sir... there is no bypass in the sharp bootloader... UNLESS!... someone really nice... flashes pdaxrom and creates a NAND back up for you...    

And then you can get into DM mode by just popping the battery in while holding D+M... and do a NAND Restore... so the answer is YES!

can't you borrow an AC adaptor from your PSP or a friend's PSP?

No, I did not want to explain it better, but actually I burned the power supply chip INSIDE zaurus, so I can only live on external charger

Ok, I found all intstructions and now I think that the only staff missing is CF card (dunno why, but it does not want to backup to SD???) and somebody's backup

Dear People! Please, help me. I would be very grateful!

No, you can use SD... but it will have to be a compatiable one... I would say anything equal or less thing 1gig... and formated fat...

Someone one correct me if I'm wrong on the SD size...

Yor are right, probably the problem was I had Fat32, not fat formatted SD.

Still, no NAND backup WITH pdaxrom, such a pity! Don't you have it? =)

Backuping my Cacko - it takes time...

Yeah, probably not many people will bother making it. But if somebody does - it would be very, very nice of them =)

The easiest way would be through something like [a href=\"https://www.yousendit.com/]https://www.yousendit.com/[/url]

And I think that this file should not be big if zipped. Am I right?
