Model: n14644
What happened:
GPS unit wasn't keeping time. Decided to do an update to try to fix it.
Plugged in unit to computer with TomTom Home 2 installed. TT2 updated itself.
Ran "Update My Device" which found a new software update and a new maps update.
While copying files over it ran into "error writing file data.chk".
I rebooted the device
Now, it seems dead. When I turn it on I get a red flashing X and refuses to connect to the computer.
I tried the step here: http://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/an...ion-device-not-starting-or-displaying-a-cross
What happens is I can successfully boot into the bootloader/BIOS type of thing as evidenced here:
But when I tap three times fast to boot into recovery mode, it just goes to the flashing red X again and will not connect to the PC.
I'm pretty mad, because it's blindly obvious that TomTom's awful update software just bricked my device. It was running 100% perfectly fine before I ran the update, besides the clock being out of whack.
Is there anything else to try? I'm technically competent and willing to do anything and everything to get this device running including cracking it open.
