Cacko Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 is available!

[ArchiMark]

Did you try reformating cf card and download the ROM again as padishah recommended? One of the files may be corrupt. If you can get to the flash menu, you don\'t have a brick; if all else fails you can flash to another ROM.

Good luck,
Jerry

Thanks for your help Jerry!

I reformatted my CF card, but did NOT redownload ROM file... I just thought that files themselves were OK....

However, I can try redownloading files later and then will try flashing again....

Yes, I can get to flash menu, no problem with that at least... :roll:

Cacko QT ROM 1.21

I\'ve got a SD write problem.  When I connect my Z to PC via BT PAN, I can\'t move files from PC to SD card directly!  It starts copying files and then an error pops up with something like \"the network path is not available\"  :shock:

However, it works perfectly in reverse direction (from SD to PC).  Also, it has no problem with main flash memory.

I\'m sure that I don\'t have this problem with v1.18.  Any suggestion?

Type mount and see if /usr/mnt.rom/card is ro or rw.  Once my SD mounted (ro).  A mount -o remount,rw fixed it.

Forgot to say in my last post...

 Thanks to Maslovsky for providing such a great ROM to the Z community!

The ROM looks great and works well so far on my C860!

Thanks,

A few things to try:

 - does that happen with CF card?
 - eject/insert SD card
 - try another SD card
 - reboot and try steps 2-3

Yes, it\'s mounted as rw.

Sorry to mention that the problem only happens via BT PAN.  The SD works normally when I move the files in and out in my Z.

I\'ve rebooted and tried again using same SD but still, no luck to make it.  After a few more trials, the problem seems not to be a dead fault.  Occassionally, I can write some files but for a large file transfer, say ]400kB, the problem occurs.

I only have one SD and I\'d try to get another.  Just scanning previous posts that in this version of rom, the kernel is recompiled to disable the CONFIG_FS_SYNC.  I\'m using vfat format and it seems that the new setting is more suitable for ext2 according to the post.  Don\'t know if this is the reason b\'coz I don\'t know how to test it.

Well, that was about a 1/2 hour ago and I still just see this screen.

Is this normal???

I had the same problem first time I installed 1.21. I managed to see lots of error messages about corrupt Tar headers flash by second time around. I then downloaded a new copy of the archive from a different feed (the Freench Zaurus site as far as I recall) and everything went smoothly. Perhaps one of the feeds has a corrupt archive?

Hope this helps. :-)

I\'ve just tried beming between my S55 phone and SL-5500. Everything worked fine in both directions. Try to reboot your zaurus.

You have a S55, like me. But i have some problems with my zaurus (C750 Elena). I can beam address to my S55, but when i beam to my zaurus i have an error message and only a file is copied in /tmp/obex.
When i used my S55 as modem (GSM not GPRS), it works one time and after i can\'t reconnect...
You change some configuration files ??
Thx Stef.

Yeah, thanks Maslovsky, your efforts help to make the best handheld computer on the planet even better, kudos to you.

I think my IRDA problem is linked (somehow) to a package called dummy-dev which lets me use mail/web via usbnet. Am I being a complete spack doing this? do I need dummy-dev to do web/mail via usbnet? Doesn\'t seem to work without it. I used dummy-dev on a 5500 and just assumed I\'d need it on the 860 too.

\"Elena\" is my kinda girl ;-)

Yes, I\'ve double checked and it seems that there must be some incompatibilities between the data sent from S55. Zaurus fails to recognize it...

I think such problem was always there in all Sharp ROMs...

I think this is caused by the BT driver.  I\'ve commented out the /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf for all unused BT except Nokia DTL-1 and found that the performance improved.  Before commenting out, I could only transfer <400kB files from PC to Z via BT but now, I can transfer >800k file.  But still, the transfer fails if file size > 1MB.

Anyone got similar problem?[/code]

I\'ve finally upgraded to 1.21 and applied HotFix A. I have a couple of problems:
1. When setting the PC Link to TCP/IP, both network interfaces come up but I can\'t get any traffic through (ping times out)
2. When setting the PC Link to USB Storage, when I plug it in the network interfaces come up (as if it was set to USB Storage)
On my desktop I\'m running Gentoo Linux, I tried with kernel 2.6.5-mm and 2.6.6-mm-rc2. Any ideas?

Did you try on another PC?

I finally got a stable BT!  Dunno why, but if I set the clock to \"PXA250\", it works!  Now, I can get a very stable BT connection with my PC and mobile phone.    

Just one minor problem: I can\'t \"press\" and \"hold\" the stylus when using NetFront.  Instead of showing a quick menu, it just highlight the hyperlinks and flashing, as if I was moving the stylus.
