Hi guys, I couldnt find the solution to this in the forums so I thought I would contribute my own.

A few moments ago I ran a rom upgrade to to get rid of the O2 rubbish in an effort to fix my TT5 SatNav/Phone problems. However, half way through, my computer crashed. I soon discoverd that the pda was dead (would not load past the O2 screen even after a hard reset) and ActiveSync couldnt see a connection to re-run the upgrade again. :shock:

Solution:

1) Hard reset the pda with the addition of also pressing the navigation key. The PDA screen will go black and say 'Serial'.
2) Run the upgrade software again for whichever rom you choose.

Sorted!!! :D
