Need Help... Need to Flash ROM on X5 from CF card...

Also, when Updating/Flashing the ROM, start the process and just walk away for about half an hour.
There are times during the process when it looks like it's hung
when, in fact, it's working quite diligently.

Messing with it at this time will truly hang & freeze it.

go with mista klaatu, it should be fine...

however you will need a card read, or a way to move the *.IMG to the CF card...

Did you use a 64mb or larger compact flash card to do the upgrade? If not, try with a larger card. I first used a 32mb card, and then used a 512mb card which worked and recovered the bios after the first flash attempt. (this is advise on recovering a bad bios)
