Help with reboot loop on x910?

Hello all,

 

I foolishly made the mistake of hooking up a SSD external disk to my x910bt with a few mp3s on it. It played perfectly for about a half an hour but then started rebooting. It loads the splash image for about 3 seconds and then will continuously loop.

 

I've tried rebooting my car (just wanted to say that). Haven't went into testmode yet to see if it reboots there.

 

Any suggestions? My search came up with a few threads about using testmode to reformat the internal flash, but that was for issues during upgrading. Mine was playing fine - I think the SSD just may have gotten interrupted.

Wow, no suggestions?

 

C'mon, help a girl out here!

 

Update: Ok, so the unit will come on if I wait. Sometimes, it's a minute after turning my car on, other times it could be an hour.

 

Is it possible to restore the factory image? The unit hasn't been modded.

Recoil,

 

No mods, you say? Hmm, is the AVIC rebooting with the SD installed? If it had previously been left in, what are the results with it disconnected?

 

Try cutting power but leave the AVIC turned on if the problem persists... (I just wanted to say that. :D )

Finally was able to get this sorted. I used the instructions in the Reboot Loop page (from the old wiki), but the key for me was holding eject and reset to get into testmode. It would not boot into testmode otherwise.

 

That should be added to the page!
