Folks-

Today is really a bad day for me...well, here is the story:

I want to upgrade the ROM of my Dopod 900, however I clicked 'upgrade' button without entering 'BOOT Mode' (Which should be entered by holding Power+Lighting+Rest buttons).

After a while the PDA screen becomes dark and I found it entered BOOT mode automatically (That is, a 'serial' on the screen, and the word becomes 'USB' when I pulg in USB cable).

So I just go on upgrading...everything seems OK now.

However while the upgrade is complete I found that I can not exit the BOOT mode. by holding 'Power+Reset' to trigger a cold reset, the PDA alwasy back to BOOT status instead of launching WM5.

Can any one give me some clues, or my PDA has already a dead box? (Nooooo!!!)

Thanks!

Ooops!

I just found a great link in wiki site:
Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions%20for%20those%20st uck%20on%20Boot%20Screen), which exactly addressed my problem.

My Dopod 900 back to alive now!!! Thank you guys!

BTW, for the article, it is great but, at the 9th step, it should mentioned that we should close the mtty client first, otherwise the upgrade wizward can not find a valid device to connect since the USB port has already been occupied.

Anyway, I LOVE this site! XDA-Dev!
