SX56 update failure

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I tried to run the ATT/Siemens release and it locked up. Per some advice I tried to use the tool provided here to burn the ROM from a SD card, but after I do this I just get a white screen, and my only options is to format the SD card if I insert it.

Is this a lost cause, has the PDA been damaged beyond repair?

Thanks for any help!

No, it is not. If your device still wants to talk to ActiveSync, you can just get Jeff's .exe file and run it on your PC. If it doesn't talk to ActiveSync, you need a PC SD-card reader/writer, which I think I understand you already have. Just find a ROM image you'd like to flash, either in .nbf format (as supplied with the upgrades) or in .nb1 (as saved by the XDArit tool) format, and follow the instructions on our page (http://xda-developers.com/XDArit).

Good luck...

I tried your tool with the SX56 ROM and get the same results some other people posted here in the past: PDA boots up to a white screen and if you press or hold down the volume botton, the welcome screen partially comes up, but it's not functional.

Also I got ahold of one of your modified ROMs and tried to use that and got the exact results.

Hmmm, looks like a hardware problem at first glance...
