For those who were able to backup the old rom and failed to update with the new one. You might want to use this trick (that I read today in this forum.

Copy the new rom on a Fat32 formatted SD card, put it in your device. Press PowerOn and Wireless button than click once in reset button, you will access a menu to upgrade from the SD. It might work for you, I didn't try because I was successfull to upgrade via activsync.

Also, if you want to check your device, press PowerOn and Record button than click oncce in reset button, you will access to your axim diagnostic tools utility.

Don't forget to backup first because you will end up with a hard reset. :approve:
