View Full Version : I think I bricked my SX56

I've seen similar posts, but nothing close enough to this issue that any of the suggestions have helped.
I lost power while updating the ROM. My SX56 froze on the screen telling me that the update would take about 5 mins. I attempted to follow some of the troubleshooting tips I found here to flash the ROM using an SD card, but I don't have an actual SD card reader, so I was using a digital camera connected via USB. I seemed to be making progress, but after trying to backup existing ROM from the Bootloader, the SD card was reading as unformatted when I connected back to my PC. I wiped the card and tried to start over, but now I can't even get into the bootloader. I just have a screen filled with black jagged lines and two white boxes (like text fields) toward the top.
Any advice, or did I just turn my phone into a paperweight?

from what i remember of the wallaby, it has been a few years since i have played with one, when you backup the rom to sd card it wont be readable by the pc as it is a raw image. Saying that the screen you describe you are seeing the black jagged lines and 2 white boxes just sounds like a corrupted screen. I'm afraid i cant give you any more info as like i have said it has been a long time since i messed with a wallaby0
