Dell Axim x51 freezes at start

Hello all,

I have done a terrible mistake and i wish to know if any could help me out here with my little problem.

I was playing around with the axim following a guide to have SPB mobile Shell and slide to unlock working properly and all of the sudden the axim freezes at start after i imported a registry file. I have done all i thought it would help, reseting the device, turning it off, and even removing the battery but all the times it freezes after it shows the Dell Logo. I hard reset the device like twice but still nothing. I imported one file to the registry and now i am afraid i damaged my pocket pc. Is there something i can do!?

Thanks you very much.

Have you tried the bootloader method:

Thanks man!

I was able to fix it without following the guide. It seems the axim was trying to boot from either the sd or cf memory on its own. I took both cards out and hard reset the axim and it worked pretty well.
