Hello:<br><br>Machine SKU26, Serial: SHF8220176E Model XO-1<br><br>I can't say it stoped in the middle of the upgrade, it failed after everything finished.. it was like this.. i got the q2e41.rom file in a sd card, i ran the command<br>
<br>ok flash sd:\q2e41.rom<br><br>checking.. writing.. checking.. and than something else.. and apparently finished.. cuase i didn't came back until about 15 min later.. (i went to the grocery store.. haha).. and when i came back.. the screen showed:<br>
<br><br>Checking<br>Writing<br>Error, SPI Flash ID 0<br>ok <- this is the prompt.. <br><br>But i was not allowed to write anymore.. nor to reboot or anything.. y unplugged the AC power, but the led remained on.. that's where i figured it REALLY failed, 'cause if it failed in one of the testings or such, during firmware installation if it fails it still maintains the old firmware, and the prompt works.. but that didn't happen in this occasion<br>
<br><br>I tryed to reboot with the prompt, didn't work, I tryed to turn off using power button, didn't work, y disconected power (again), didn't work.. so I removed the battery.. and it powered off.. when i turned on.. nothing.. black screen of Firmware death (bricked).. but it didn't happen during upgrade.. it happened when upgrade aparently finished<br>
<br><br>cheers..

But I agree with Bernie, question is why it died half way through..<br>
