I had some trouble updating my X5, an eager friend helped me sort out the problem. Unfortuneately he deleted all the files on it !!, including the hidden (?) ones. I have tried to re install but all i get is a white screen and nothing else. Apart from killing the friend what else can I do?

You can always put a fresh image in the system folder, insert the power cable and start it and it'll upgrade automatically.

Thats all I get, a white screen, no Rockbox ,no folders, no nothing. I have tried to update the firmware But the firmware cant find the machine. It appears in win explorer.Like I said my friend deleted all files  leaving me a nice clean machine....

Bagder:
The upgrade mechanism in an X5 is impossible to remove or kill, it is handled by a prebootloader.

So please, read my mail again.

codecs
codepages
