XDA Bricked, no visible solution

[C_G]

Hi all

This is my first post but i have been reading in the forums for a couple of days to see if i can work out how to fix my pride and joy by myself.

I tried to upgrade to WM6 and it seemed to halt mid update and i lost my active sync, it was only a few seconds into the update and i stupidly left the sd card and sim card in the device, this may have been the problem. I can get to the boot loader screen as i can see serial and v1.00 on the grayed out screen. I see USB in place of serial in the boot loader screen when i connect the USB lead and also hear the connection sound on my computer. I know that active sync is working as i have connected my c500 smartphone to check. I have also reinstalled Windows mobile device center. I have also tried to connect on my XP lappy and when i try to start mtty 1.42 it blue screens my lappy (anyone else seen this or have a solution?)

Main thing is can i use an SD image to flash a new rom
If not how can i get active sync to see my device
anyone know a good repair shop in the UK

I really have hunted the forums for an answer to this problem but can't readily find a solution any help gratefully received. Also reassurance that my XDA is not totally dead would be nice.

Hi thanks for the speedy reply, but i did try disabling the USB connection in active sync and nothing altered. I may be missing something tho so will have another look at the WIKI. Maybe it's because im using Vista, reason being that my lappy running XP is blue screening, would i be better using the lappy and fixing the mtty problem? If you could give me a link to the easy fix so i could find it a little faster. I really wanted to sort this out myself but i am also concerned that my pda is screwed and although all you maybe see a lazy n00b that hasn't read the site very well i have put in a large number of hours reading, i admit flashing firmware is not something i do every day and im a little out of my comfort zone and a few pointers would be very much appreciated.

Done all of those but still no active sync connection! Is there some way the profile for the PDA in active sync can be removed to allow a clean install? Or can i flash some way with the SD card and avoid Active Sync altogether?

I appear to have sorted the problem now. It would seem that the IR port was conflicting with my active sync connection, i was getting a blue screen and a message about ircomm.sys when i disabled the virtual IR port in control panel my pda connected to the mity application without any problems. Hope this will help someone else that is stuck on the same problem.
