Have you tried copying onto the card the v2 update again and re flashing?

Yep, reflash and be careful installing very large skins.

Yes, be especially careful.

I've noticed that with firmware 2.00, I could use the Candy GP2X skin, but I had to optimize all of the files to get it to a size that I could put it on my GP2X (aim for smaller than the default skin) without getting any blackness.

If you have access to Photoshop, use the save as web option in it to take the files for the skin and compress them down a bit without any quality loss.

If you use firmware 2.0 and have USB networking and telnet or Samba "Always On", you're in luck. With Samba you can access the skin folder. With telnet you can run the .gpu script for the skin and see if it'll help replace it.
