Thank you again for the replies. As I described in a follow-up post, a hard
reset seemed to fix things, as long as I didn't restore from an old backup.
I'm not 100% convinced I'm in the clear, because the very first time I tried
deploying CF2.0 against the freshly-reset device it didn't work; but when I
reinstalled it it was fine, and after another hard reset it was fine the
first time. But if there is a real problem, maybe it's something I can live
with, luckily I'm under warranty for a few more years ;)
BTW the device is an x50v, so it sounds like 2.0 should be fine.
Thanks again!
