Universal dead after failed upgrade

[claudef]

First, I would like to thank everyone on this forum for valuable information. I have been able to flash a Blue Angel and more recently a Universal (SPV M5000) with a Jasjar, O2 and Qtek ROM.

I have researched the forum but have not found any answer close to my problem.

After the lastest update (O2 Exec just released), I did not reset the unit properly and now my screen is completely dead/blank. I tried to reflash but it is no longer recognized (will not power back up)

No possibility in putting in Boot loader mode (power+light+reset) or doing a hard reset (the 2 _ and reset).

has anyone experienced this and can I revive it, at least, bring it back to a boot loader so I can reflash? Thank you to all :roll:

Just a thought. Have you tried leaving out the battery pack for a while, say an hour or better overnight? Might be worth trying the hard-reset sequence with the battery still out, then insert the battery and hard-reset again. If it responds, try flashing again.

It is possible to get the Universal in a totally confused state. Mine does this everytime if I power down the workstation *without* first disconnecting the Exec from the USB-Sync cable. Fortunately, it will respond after a battery out plus reset, then battery in plus soft-reset, so I don't actually have to clear the memory.

Hope you dig yourself out of the brown stuff!

i am trying this at the moment as I do not know what else to do. I will put the battery back tomorrow in hope it will restart again.

Thank you for the advice

Unfortunately, I cannot flash because it will not power up or start the boot loader. The pc does not recognize the device

That worked for my when I was flashing my JAM, no problems. Scary, but successful. Think I may have left it a couple of days, to be sure. I then reflashed it successfully.


Although I refused to flash my Exec - too damned expensive to replace, and the ROM is 95% as good as it needs to be.
