Quit Service Menu; Backup With Service Menu - Sharp SL-C750 Manual

SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart ///TRIsoft OHG

Quit service menu:

There are two possibilities to quit the service menu:
Possibility 1 (brute force):
Turn off the Zaurus, open the battery compartment and take out the battery. Wait for 10
seconds, insert the battery and close the compartment.
Turning the Zaurus on invokes the regular boot process.
Possibility 2 (elegant):
Select the option "EXTRA MENÜ" on the third page of the menu and there select
"RESET". The Zaurus leaves the service mode and reboots regularly.
Attention:The option immediately above "RESET" is "NAND FLASH ERASE".
Double-check before pressing "OK"!

Backup with service menu:

If You are asking Yourself, why we mention the service menu although we discourage its
usage, well, here is the explanation:
The service mode makes it possible to create a 1:1 backup (NAND backup) of the whole
ROM, resp. to restore a backup. This is the last straw, if the ROM was modified or a ROM
was used which was not really mature.
If this has just happened and You are looking into this manual, but now: Don't Panic! We
offer a recent NAND backup in condititon upon delivery for download on our server.
A CompactFlash card with at least 70 MB free space (SL-C750) or 134 MB for the
SL-C760/860 is needed to create a backup. The backup is that huge, because a
complete image, without any compression, including administrative information, will be
built.
