I've tried to install this update several times, but every time I download it, WinRAR says "File is corrupt" and refuses to extract it. Is anyone else having this problem?

EDIT:

nevermind, finally got a good download. Just curious, any way to flash this over CF? I knwo the original dell updates were CF, and the SD loader is a pain in the tail!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultranet:
Same problem here . I downloaded the .rar file from the mentioned links and

winrar returns a CRC error , file is corrupt . I also tried to extract it by checking the option "Keep broken files" (in winrar) , gave me the files but then when i proceeded to the update of my x51v , after the image was read, it returned the same type of error. CRC Error , mismatch .

I imagine must be some kind of corruption that occurred or occurs to the archive related to the site that the file is temporarily deposited .

I will ask you if is possible to try some different upload site .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ashton_Durkhun:

a warning for WM6 cooking. ASUS's WM6 upgrade for A639 and P535 machines, did something wrong with SDHC drivers, and problems occured during SD card (non- HC) reading, such as, iGO myway Navigator program couln't read license and exit. Read here:

ASUS uses (i think an un-necessary) sdhc_mainstoneii_b2.dll file, and buggy SDMemory.dll and SDBus.dll files. Please beware using this type of SDHC support in forthcoming wm6 support for Axim x51v

did anyone tried to use a SDHC 4 gig SD-card with A17 ROM? according to registry, A17 ROM uses a driver named: pxa27x_sdhc.dll
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rohanch:
A12 ROM also uses that driver. I think the "HC" in this case stands for Host Controller and not "High Capacity" like it does in SDHC cards. Basically, it's just the driver that controls the SD card slot.

I installed the A17 ROM with the CF patch. Everything works great except for the Data Backup program that comes with WM5. When I run it, it says "No storage card detected." I have a 2GB SD card pluggined into my x51v. Anyone else running into the same problem?

Edit: I figured out a workaround: pop out the SD card and pop it back in. The Data Backup program then detects the SD card and I can write the backup to the SD card now.

Flashing Back to A12

Some one posed the good question about being able to flash back to the pristine A12 ROM image. The answer was just the simple flashing with active sync with the A12 from the Dell website.

That is great news.

So, the original A12 image won't reject flashing the now A17 Axim? I read in other forums about people successfully flashing back to A12 but it was a maze of instructions and specialty software in order to do it.

This is the first I have heard about just flashing the device with A12 like we all did when it became available from Dell. My question is: Has anyone truly flashed back simply with the A12 ROM using the activsync method? And if so how many of you?

The reason why this is important to me is that in case I have service or warranty issues i'd like to be able to flash it back without Dell knowing what I have done.

Thank you very much and your hard work here in getting both A17 and WM6 to the Axim x51V is greatly appreciated and you have my admiration and heartfelt gratitude! Keep up the good work!

Thank you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] james31554:
yes, I was able to flash my x51v back to a12 using the dell download thru active sync. Note that I was able .to do this through active sync in windows xp.

I was unable to get it to work thru the "mobility center" in windows vista however.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HappyMM:
You just need a SD card to do this, no need for activesync.

Copy the attachements a12Eng.rar 2 files into a SD Card > 64M FAT32.

DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A12EN.nb0

DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM5_A12EN_nb0.crc

Insert the SD into X51V, button power + button wifi + button reset

then release button reset

after you see the white screen (5 secs), release button power and button wifi

you will see SD image update, then press the 5-way central button twice.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cravaus:
A17 and Bluetooth.

I also had some trouble with the widcom stack on the A17. It was slow paring up (as slow as on A12 however so no alarms there). Then I also noticed a strange thing where after using BT I would loose multitasking. I could restore it only by restoring my windows folder from backup. I am not sure if this was a widcom problem or some other software conflict. I reset the device and started over using the built in stack. I do not use BT headphones so that is not an issue for me--and the built in stack has worked flawlessly. I pair up very fast to TomTom and to my TO keyboard (just a few seconds!). I am liking that. With A12 and the widcom stack I would wait over a minute for pairing to take place and it would loose parings with the TO keyboard often (with the GPS occasionally). I do not see much improvement in BT AS synchronization however using the built in stack. I have not been able to try pairing with my Cell phone as a modem because I am traveling and do not have internet service in Germany so I cannot comment on that. That is what I have noticed.

Hi, You are waiting for WM6 on x51v. Is there any chance it would be released on x50v too? As for hardware both axims are much the same.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I was wondering the same thing. There would be many X50v users who would love to also have WM6!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [AFX]:
doubt it. remember when x50's were upgraded? compaction problem still existed, filesys,exe, exe. also wm2003se runs better on x50 because the os uses nor memory (faster) instead of nand (slower). so when you upgrade to wm5, you are going to have a ****ty experience on your pda. the x51 nativly uses nand memory, thats why x51 users dont have as much problems with wm5 on their device because wm5 uses nand memory. think of it this way.

x50 (NOR) + WM5 (uses NAND) = Bad

X50 (NOR) + WM2003SE (uses NOR) = Good

x51 (NAND) + WM5 = Good

it also just so happens that WM6 also uses NAND.

i dont know much about the custom x50 rom that was released on this site if it correct any of those problems but i doubt it. find more info over at aximsite.
