I tried flashing my 5500 with OZ 3.5 now after it flashes it wont turn on. How can I tell if it's dead or what is the proper way of installing OZ 3.5. I have installed OZ 3.2 and 3.3 plenty of times and nothing like this happend. PLEASE HELP!!!

Calm down, and first try re-flashing. First OZ 3.5.1, then go backwards trying other ROM images, like OZ 3.3.5, or 3.2. If none of them work, then tell us so, and we'll offer more suggestions.

Is there any other ways to access a CF card besides finding somebody with a pda

You can get a CF reader for a PC (USB connection). I got one at Radio Shack for about $20.

There are also (electro-mechanical?) PCMCIA <-> CF adapters (I got one with my SanDisk WLAN card). I now use it to directly access CF cards in my Notebook.

Whenever I had a bad flashing experinece with oz, (which happens) the most effective solution I came up with is to reflash the sharp rom. This always works, then from there reflash oz. A few months ago I flashed oz without plugging in the ac adapter. This totally bricked my z. It was completely dead to the world. I flashed OSPACK (sharp rom) and It came to life again! Then flashing oz worked perfectly. So don't dispair, not all is lost.

So is there anydocs on how to re-flash the Sharp Rom or do you have any suggestions

Click here and download the file OSPACK (it's at the very bottom of the page) and put it on a cf card. Flashing procedure is identical to openzaurus which you are already familiar. Good Luck and let me know how it goes
