Mobility Site - View Single Post - Easier way to recover your X50 after you bricked it+premade nb0 files

Hi all...
I did a terrible mistake, maybe you can help me:

I was tring to update x50low from wm2003se to wm5.

I downloaded the WM50_K_A02_X50_WM5_ENG.nb0 with correct crc and put it on my SD.
Then I renamed the file like this: DiMa_K_A02_X50_WM5_ENG.nb0
Now the BIG mistake: I create a copy of this file and rename it in DiMa_B_A02_X50_WM5_ENG.nb0 (Of course I didn't understand the correct procedure)
so, before launching the wireless+power+reset sequence on My SD the bootloader file was not correct and same as the OS file. :rolling:

The updating procedures start and goes to end (about 5 minutes) without errors (strange but true) with a final message like: "succesful image flash, please reset your device".

After the reset my Axim won't power on (this is not strange

).

I tried the rec+power+reset sequence > nothing happens
I tried the wireless+power+reset sequence > nothing happens

So My Axim is definitly dead. Any other suggestion? Have I got a hi-tech paperweight?

Thank you in advance
