Zaurus WAS Bricked, Now solved!
« Reply #30 on: April 19, 2004, 03:08:41 pm »
SCORE!

I managed to get it working again. What I did was I risked a NAND Flash Full Erase in the Zaurus Test menu in Extra menu in the Service Menu (so many menus!) and it started a slow upward count, when it got to 10 it gave an error which I didn\'t take note of I\'m afraid. After I got that error I tried a NAND Flash Restore and it finally let me restore a NAND Backup

Oh how I\'ve missed it. I am bottling up my joy right now but I should really celebrate :mrgreen:

Thankyou to all who helped me fix my Z, I\'d like to particularly thank offroadgeek and markb who went out of their way to help me (markb lent me his 5000D cradle and offroadgeek gave me a 256MB CF card and a SerialIO cable).

Because this issue is now closed I have renamed the post to what you see now and I\'m locking the thread. If you have the same problem as me follow these steps but if they still fail and you\'ve read every other post on Zaurus bricking then start a new post and people will try and help. Good luck and take care of your Z\'s.
