Hacking Ez flash Omega stuck in safe mode

[Sle7inX]

Hi everyone, I'm the happy owner of a Ez flash omega. Last week, I modded my GBA changed the shell and screen and tried it with my EZ flash, but I guess the select button was stuck and I got to safe mode. Since then, I can't boot the EZ flash omega and I feel like my cartridge can't read the sd card anymore (Is it a known issue?).
I tried a different sd card, i tried installing the recovery image, I cleaned everything, checked the soldering. Everything seems ok but I can't update or past the safe boot.
Thank you in advance for your help. I've been on this website finding solution for many other issues but it's the first time I post.

OEM

Yes, I tried on two other Gba OEM system and I got the same result.
I followed the guide for recovery and it felt like the cartridge couldn't recognize the sd card (tried this with two different sd) even if I don't get any message telling me so.

OMG it worked, thank you so much !! (I used disk manager with the recovery file) I was not doing the right thing yesterday. But your link helped me realise my mistake.

Could someone explain this a little clearer for novices such as myself?
