wellll my gp2x got bricked some weeks ago, during a soft update attempt,

it just shows the black screen with the GP2X logo, so u-boot is still intact is it?

today, i received my new 1Go kingston card, formatted it on XP with a cardreader, put the kernel file on it, and put the card in the gp2x....


.... and still all i see is the GP2X logo

is there a trick i don't know or do i have to make a serial cable to know where's my problem ? but even then that won't fix it

The good news is that the UBoot seems to be okay. I have never had much luck with firmware flashing on Kingston cards.. PNY 128mb works for me fine though.

well the wiki and someone in the compatibility thread reported succeses with 1Go kingston ....

Did you format with Fat32?

But yes Kingston 1GB 50x cards seem to have problems... I have one too but didn't dare to update with it yet (the regular way). But for FW2.0 I will have to try

I updated my firmware with my Kingston 50x 1gb card just fine from 1.2 to 1.4.

Not sure about the rest of you guys.

mine is a basic slow one, formatted in fat32, tried a quick format and a complete one, there is ONLY gp2xkernel.img on it , but no flashing screen :/


can uboot be partially broken only?

I think kingston cards are just a bit random in general, i have a kingston 512mb that i have formatted in fat 32 and it doesn't work, although some people have told me that it does. Luck of the draw i guess..

Yeah, a friend of mine bought a Kingston and it wouldn't work in either of our machines, so when I got my 1GB card I traded him my gf's Lexar (which I'd been using previously) for his Kingston. It works fine in her MP3 player but the 2X? No dice.

well i bought this one on purpose to try to fix my thing, how many chances are they for i got a "bad" kingston

anybody got a working card to trade?

flashed the kernel with a sandisk ultra II on the 2nd attempt!
(my nerves are on the limit )

still have to reflash the filesystem, aaaaaaaargh , maybe i'll be back in some minutes, maybe it'll find some way to fail, life is hard some days
