Wow it was really hard to press. I had to tried 5 times. At first I thought I had the wrong rom files in the SD card.

Just wifi and power, no need to press audio record button.

Thank you. Short, sweet and simple. I am so tired of long-winded, techy know-it -alls. This was way, way helpful. You are brilliant!

The answer to the question is keep holding the Wifi and Power button for 5 seconds after you press the reset button on back. i.e don't let go until you see the SD boot load screen. If you let go too soon, the axim will ask you if you want to restore factory settings.

Best tutorial for entering SD loader. I had difficulties with that before watching this video. On the video we can see that first thing to do is to press wifi button, then power button, then reset button. After that one should release reset button while holding the two other buttons until SD Image update screen appears. Great!

Okay I've worked it out....

Try it this way first.."turn on your device"

1)Hold down the WIFI and power button only, both at the same time.

2)Then without letting go of the wifi and power button, push the reset button just once.

If this fails do the exact same thing over again, but this time start with the device off.

Good Luck!

I've been trying to do this, but It always brings me to the message : TO RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS, PRESS x, TO CANCEL THIS OPERATION, PRESS y

nOTE: ALL EXISTING DATA IS LOST WHEN YOU RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS.

Also, I'm running windows mobile 5, will that make a difference?
