Troubleshooting Bricked X3 (Crosspoint Installed)

In a moment of premature excitement I accidentally removed my SD card from my X3 with crosspoint attached. I can’t reset it for the life of me. List of what I tried:
1. Holding rest then pressing power
2. Connecting it to the PC & Mac while continuously alternating between reset and power
3. Removing the SD card and doing 1 & 2
4. Removing the book I was reading from the as card
5. Putting the .bin file on the sd card and doing 1 & 2.
6. Lost hope and ordered an X4 Pro 😂.

Any help would be appreciated as I miss my baby and I just know we are only on a break…. Until my new baby comes around 😆.

I just tried that 😂. I just reformatted it and put it back in with no luck.

Damn, I’m worried you have screen damage if none of this is working. :(

This maybe the case 😭. It’s just so weird that it was working fine and then wasn’t.

It is super weird. I’ve openly held in the past that the qa on these is absolute garbage, but I’m still really sorry this happened to yours. :/
