[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
JohnDaddyo I'm very new to PDA hacking and I figured everything just fine all you really have to do is read the message boards very closely, which I did yesterday, it took me forever but it was definitely worth it. By doing that it answered nearly all my questions, the only one I have left and a couple other ppl asked this too but it seemed to have been skipped over is... how do you get you battery status icon back on the upper right hand corner? Oh well don't miss it THAT much, I can live without it. Anyways back to what I was saying is that it seems that you might of had the right idea going. All you have to do is find the download that had the CF card fixed, (I don't know if the updated the Rom on the fist thread to incorporate the CF fix?, if not you can find links all threw out the message board I cant remember exactly where but with a lil looking you'll find a link), download that on a FAT32 formatted SD card, it seems like it will work on a newly formatted one or just one that you are already using as long as there is enough space. Correct me if I'm wrong here people I'm still new at this, then after you copy it to your card put it in the x51v, press power+wifi+reset all at the same time (kinda tricky) after a few sec let go of the reset and a screen will eventually pop up, press the action button until the Rom starts loading (it might take a lil while). After that you need to download Roscos Explorer 2007 http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp you can download the 14 day free trial here, thats all you need. Then go to the first thread and download the registry fixes. From what I've read, and again correct me if I'm wrong, it doesn't seem to matter what order you install the registry fixes as long as you install dlgctr very last, so therefore it would be something like GWE then MenuBarHeight then dlgctr. How you install them is after you have Resco Explorer on your PDA, you simple load the reg fixes on your SD card, put it in your PDA, fire up your PDA, go to File Explorer, find your SD card and run the reg fix files in a previously mentioned order. I was a little weary about trying it at first but it seems that if you screw up anything too bad and brick your PDA its relatively easy to return it to the original dell Rom with just simply doing what i just described (w/o the reg fixes) with the older A12 Rom that dell provides. So from one newbie to another I hope this helped a little, I know your not stupid and could of figured it out on your own, but I remember when i was first trying it out I was hoping ppl would be a little bit more specific, so i tried to be as specific as possible, I just got my x51v working last night and it seems to be running great and fast even bogged down with all my software and games! no problems at all!! with the A12 Rom I was having to soft reset almost every hour of playing with it but now this new Rom is great, no soft resets at all so far. Thank you so much to all the people that helped make this Rom available, I know next to nothing about programming and i am very grateful that those of you who do, would take your time out with no compensation just to help out other people like me. Thank you football and everyone else who helped out!
