SD Card Lockups After Updating To 2003SE - Any ideas?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

After updating to 2003SE using easy bootloader/himaupdate.exe method my SD locks the unit after insertion or from boot. Was ok before (transcend 256Mb card) worked for last year+ till tonight.

Before I tried that method I bootloader/console dumped old rom image to the card, but ive formatted it now a few times with FAT and FAT32, no luck, still locks unit now.

Any ideas anyone?? Thanks.

Also, accessing start menu now causes a hardware style interlace looking flicker down the bottom 1/4-1/2 of the screen. Anyone???

Congrats and thanks to everyone involved with the 2003SE update, ... now if only this SD card works... :)

Cheers

WARNING !!!! :( I have tried a new 1Gb ATP SD Card and a new Kingston 512Mb SD Card and both brand new cards also lock the unit.

It would appear the 2003SE flash is incompatible with some revision hardwares and causes the SD slot to cease working correctly.

Also, the update causes the blacklight to sometimes flicker very fast, likely damaging the life of the backlight.

Be warned...

Hi,

Thankyou for the advice, however when inserting the sd card it locks the unit down hard, even with pocket mechanic ready to format, or running from boot quickly before it locks (once detects sd).

Seems the flash really killed the SD slot on my h/ware since no other reports it must be revision related at this point, bootloader can still read/detect updates on SD so its an update issue I think :(

:arrow: The biggest problem I had with 2003SE is :
Poping up mesaage with "Need more memory" for Contacts .
I had to do the Hard Reset for a couple times .
Now I am OK .
