the Zaurus was even better. If you had a CF or SD-Card, you had to place a special named file on it, hold down one key, totally power it off (cut off battery), and power it on.
with that procedure, you get into a chinese or japanese labeled menu, which luckily has common name like USB, CF or SD in english, and could reflash from CF.
I have done that at least 2 times, when i had a Zaurus.
So, you could reflash the device without relying on any other Software, than the one in the Zaurus itself.
