If at all possible re-downgrade your firmware.

so hold on, is it fucked? how can i downgrade the firmware if the gp2x cant read the sd card....
If you don't have an sd card reader already you will need one. Just copy over all your important shit onto the computer, then format it using the computer. And then download what ever firmware you need onto the card and put it in the 2x. Then just copy your files back over :D.

Yeah a few people (including myself) have found this problem with FW3. I believe the recommended course of action is to actually go back to 2.0.0 then upgrade to 2.1.0 then again to 2.1.1 - then stick there cause thats a nice firmware.
While your GP2X may not see SD cards when it's loaded up, it can still use them at start up to change the firmware.

Indeed, many things can be used as SD Readers if you do not have one.

A digital camera lying around perhaps? I do not have one but I do know some of them act as SD readers.

SD readers are dirt cheap though, so picking one up at your local best by should cost 10$ AT MOST.
 
yeah, my card reader cost 5 bucks, and its lasted for over a year..... im supprised people can use a 2x without one.....
