go back
« on: March 04, 2004, 07:34:54 pm »
I have a 5600 and I flashed to Open Zaurus this morning...3.36.  Well, it looks cool, but it was pretty much unusable for me, often it froze with a message about the time not being correct.  Eventually it unfreezes and I can correct the time.

What was really bothersome was that the konsole kept appearing at the bottom of the screen, covering up the tool bar and more.

for now, I would like to go back to the Sharp Rom.  I downloaded it and tried to flash, but it just keeps going back to OZ.  

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me get it back.  Thanks.

Make sure you include all four files from the Sharp ROM download and that you get progress updates for both zImage.bin and initrd.bin.

Also in the maintenance menu go to the Format option after you have flashed. Flashing only overwrites the ROM area of Flash. \'Format\' resets the user writable area of flash.
