Hi there - an interesting (at the moment, it will be frustrating soon) problem occurred while attempting the update.
I followed the instructions up to the first hard reset, then entered the twilight zone. When the Axim (x51v) reset, the "reset option" screen flashed by, then the device booted into what almost looked like my usual today screen - the time was reset to 12:00, my appointments and tasks were missing, but the today wallpaper was still there, as were most of my programs.
Activesync (4.1.0) started to try and sync to the device, but wasn't able to. After about 30 minutes, I tried a hard reset again, this time off the cradle, and nothing was different.
The "Programs" menu item doesn't work, though I can start some of them via resco explrorer. Active sync on the device won't start, which is probably why my computer cannot sync to it. I can kindof use the device as is, but it is defintiely in some weird in between state, so if anyone has any idea how to either go back to A06, or forward to A12, I would be very interested to hear it
Thanks
Tom
