Uh-Oh

There is probably a topic about this, but I have seriously bricked my wiz! Everything in the nand is pretty much gone, and I can't even get it to boot all the way! I tried to restore the firmware, but I don't have an sd to usb adapter :0

Is there any way to somehow restore from a usb host or anything?
I'm pretty sure I had firmware 1.10 before this

Maybe click on the link 2 posts above yours? It's called "How to unbrick your Wiz." Here's the link.

before you go through the hell of the unbricking tutorial, try to get some SD card adapter or even a friends laptop and try installing the firmware, first 1.1.0 and then 1.2.1. then everything should be on track again. glossywhite's tutorial describes how to unbrick your wiz from a state where it hangs before the firmware upgrade process from SD card can be started ...

I second that. Find an SD card reader and just reflash the firmware. The unbricking tutorial is when your Wiz is truly bricked.

Thanks, everybody, I'll buy a sd adapter today

Yay! I've both un-bricked my wiz, and gotten the newest firmware! two birds with one stone!
