Ya it works for me. The only problem I notice is that every couple seconds, the video jolts (just BARELY enough to notice) and I wonder if it is due to the extra processing by the pda as I need to use Odyssey Client to connect to my WPA-PSK network

EDIT: did you install the latest version that supports WM6 from sling's website?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] firebush:
HERE'S HOW TO INSTALL WITHOUT AN SD CARD READER!

I downloaded Pocket Mechanic (free trial) from here http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?associateid=373&id=12178 and formated to FAT32. I then put both files (the .nbo AND the .crc file) on the card. This was done by putting the Axim on the cradle, opening 'mobile device' in My computer, and placing files directly onto the SD card (NO SD CARD READER NEEDED). Then, I pressed Wifi + Power together while tapping the RESET button once. Press the action key a few times until it starts to install. Follow instructions on the screen. Make sure you have your Axim either on a plugged in cradle with USB unplugged ((makes sure ActiveSynch doesn't botch install)), OR have a full battery.

First thing I've noticed with WM6 is that it's everything I wanted my Axim to be. It's lightning fast. Almost zero lag opening the start menu. Games and apps load three times as fast. I can't believe the difference. What the heck did Microsoft do to botch WM5 up so bad? WM5 feels like walking through glue compared to this. Its seriously that big of a difference!

Thank you Football, and anyone else that brought this about!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] julianbl:
Excellent! I've have no idea that pocket Mechanic could to that. Good to know.

Football, many thanks for the WM6, fantastic job and definately well worth the wait :-)

I have one issue, which unfortunately at the moment looks like I will have to go back to WM5.

When setting up the connections to a Bluetooth Phone, there is now NO FACILITY for inputting extra Dial Strings, this to me is very important as we use a private GPRS Circuit and these need to be indicated i the extra dial settings/string.

Without this information I cannot connect for Internet or Email.

Has anyone found a way around this ???

Thanks

Football you're the MAN! I've been using your A17 WM5 ROM and it was great. Then I've been waiting for WM6. I've been checking xda and 4pda forums several times a day and finally you made it. It's a pleasure using my Axim now cause it's really fast.

Now two questions:

1 - did anyone try to change the page pool size to 8 or even 6MB?

2 - is there any solution for Card Export which is not working at the moment?

Thanks :)

Does anybody know if x50mix still works on x51v with WM6?

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BLASTPOL:
Yes, it's working. I think it would be great if it was added as a default.

Contrast settings could be also enabled.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] geng:
I managed to do this in the registry by exporting the settings key under wm5 and loading it back under wm6. It works fine now !!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gtech:
Okay some success in working with EXTRA DIAL STRING SETTINGS that are currently missing from WM6

As myself and some others have found, there is no facility in WM6 when setting up a modem connection, to use EXTRA DIAL STRINGS as their are in WM5.

So the workaround:

Gain access to a WM5 device and configure the connection exactly as you normally would incl your dial strings.

Once complete, using your favorite PDA Registry Editor, load the registry.

Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\

Within there you will see a folder going under the name of the connection you just created.

RIGHT click on that folder and select EXPORT and export the file to my documents or a memory card.

Copy the exported file over to your WM6 device, using File explorer double click the file and confirm you want to IMPORT into the WM6 Registry.

Now before you can use the file, you need to go back into your settings, edit your connection and make sure you select your Bluetooth device that you will connect to.

Reboot and you should have a working connection with the additional dial strings.

This is the exact procedure I used to get my X51V to dial our Corporate GPRS over my Nokia 6300. I needed the dial strings to indicate the APN of our GPRS which is different to my Mobile Service Provider.

If anyone has any problems, please give me a shout and I will try and help.

Ao1 WM6

Hi Football

Congrats for your work.

I upgrade a few weeks ago using you A17 Rom

Today I try to upgrade to WM6, but after copping A01 ROM files to SD card and make the power+wifi+reset got the following message:

-SD Image Update A10-G3

-Searching for image

No suitable image found

Image update failed. Please try again.

Can somebody help me

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Baron_FEL:
Errrrr... Guys ? Big problem here. Internet connection via ActiveSync is very very slow (can't watch live TV with 14 Kbps). Anyone has a fix ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TSBirkoff:
Is the card Fat32 formated?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raule:
Yes is the same I used for the A17 ROM, in fact is the one I use with all tha applications
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] a.perfecto:
Installed the WM6 ROM from Football. I must say... you have done a great job.

Only thing not working for me right now is the IR. Anyone experience this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] minus_273:
posted this on the bugs thread but figure i would post it here too..

==

Ok the issue with all SSL connections (active sync, IE, probably windows live)

is not the certificate but the way the device is seeing those connections.

for example if you go to

gmail.com in IE you will get a message saying that certificate has an issue asking you to accept it. It says everything is ok except the name does not match on the certificate and what the device is seeing. This is probably the problem with all the other secure connections (live and active sync)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fidgetyrat:
Probably a silly question, but I will ask anyway.

I have been using the ROM since yesterday and have not encountered any problems yet. Awesome so far!

The question I have is, besides the prettier theme, what exactly has changes so drastically that Microsoft shifted from WM5 to WM6. Nothing really acts or feels all that different to me, or is this another "Windows ME" but one that actually works. .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] minus_273:
Its a pretty good upgrade. It will be better when more bugs are worked out. There are a lot of nice changes that are not immediatley obvious. A few of them are :

1. much much faster

2. more stable

3. better bluetooth support

4. HTML emails in outlook

WM6 A01 issues and solutions

Hi, everyone -- responding to a bunch of ongoing and solved issues:

1. Caveman6 and Blastpol, you were both asking about Card Export. It doesn't work, but WM5torage does, even though the name might suggest it not being compatible with WM6. (Though it seems to me to only work correctly with the SD card, not the CF card. Anyone else notice this?)

2. Graeme, thanks for the dialup string solution; that's brilliant!

3. And nl1rsd, you were right: for some reason my phone (v710) doesn't work properly with anything after WM 2003 2nd edition. But I found a work around; if anyone else is using it and needs help, let me know.

4. Raule, my SD Image Loader is A02 and it works fine. Do you have the right files? (DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM6_A01EN.nb0 and DiAd_K_AximX51v_WM6_A01EN.nb0.crc)?

5. Has anyone made any progress on the certificate problem yet??? Does anyone who speaks Russian know if they're working on it over on the other side? This seems to me like the biggest issue remaining.

Thanks to everyone for their work and help!

WM0 A01

Thanks carrot 34

I do have the right files on y SD card. Something strange happened when I soft reset thee date and time appears as july 2005 and time 12:00 and not as of today. May this fact have some to do with the problem in recognyzing the A01 ROM
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] carrot34:
SSL connections problem

Minus_273, you're absolutely right:

So is there anyway to make ActiveSync accept those connections? It's maddening: I can navigate to my OWA (outlook web access) page and tell IE to accept the certificate, but if I try to sync with ActiveSync -- which uses the exact same certificate! -- it won't accept it. Can anyone think of a way to deal with this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] carrot34:
Hi, Raule -- the date issue isn't the problem: that happens to me too and I install fine. Have you checked that the card still works? (Can you still install WM5 A17 from it?)

Sorry -- I wish I had better ideas. I know how frustrating this is!

Alan

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BLASTPOL:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] carrot34:
getting around the SSL problem

Hi, everyone -- I have a feeling that changing a registry security policy under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies

might stop ActiveSync from checking the certificate, but I can't figure out what. I've also tried manually importing the certificate for the Outlook Exchange site, but that seems not to help.

I keep hoping that someone more clever than i will be able to follow one of these leads to a solution!

Thanks, Alan
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] minus_273:
yeah turning off SSL is not an option and importing the cert didnt work for me too. The problem is not with the cert. It is with the network connection. Try going to gmail.com it will say there is an error with the site. The problem is that the site name it is seeing does not match the site name on the cert.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Retell:
Anyone notice that you can never turn off flight mode... Even if wifi is on. Also sometimes wifi will say off even though connected.

Maybe The Security Tweak will Help

I am sure many of you have thought of and tried the security tweak to get around the Active Sync issue but I thought I would throw it out there as a possible fix.

Have not gone to WM6 yet but have been following the thread closley.

SK Tools and I think that Tweak2k have the option to turn off the prompt that MS makes when an uncerified app is about to be installed

I also have the stand alone registry tweak - GET IT HERE----

OK,

I'm driving myself absolutely crazy trying to get this WM6 on my X51V. I haven't even gotten past step one yet. Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to run the SD Boot Loader? I do what I've seen on every website so far, but I get nothing:

Press Wireless Button (on the side, right next to record)

Press Power Button (power light on top of axim)

stick stylus in reset hole and tap it for a split second

this puts the axim in "hard reset mode" and wipes out everything. I tried this, thinking it's what I was supposed to do and hey, no dice!

Will someone please enlighten me? I really want to get this up and running!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] big_redfox:
You need to do all the above 3 step AT SAME TIME!!!

After you did reset with your stylus, DO NOT let go step 1 and step 2 until you see a flash upgrade screen. The following the instructions on screen.

Good luck!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] big_redfox:
Upgraded to WM6, I love it!

I upgraded my x51v from A12 WM5 to Football's. I love it!

* I do not have any problem using USB sync with Vista Ultimate. Everything went smoothly.

* The ROM flash went through fine, probably I have done the SD card process before. I think the problems people are having are mostly human errors on the flash process.

* I use only WEP on my wifi and it works fine.

* Installed a BT GPS software package for WM5 and it works fine.

* Tried tether the PDA with a Moto Razr V3 with AT&T GPRS data service and it also works fine.

* Did not test IR port yet. Will try later.

* Installed CE-Star 2.8 (Chinese pacage) and it works fine.

* I do not have exchange server based email so I can not reproduce the error everyone is having.

* The IE browser is much better than the one in A12.

* Will try Opera 8.60u2 later (it says for WM5 only, will it work with WM6?)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] carrot34:
Hey Andy -- it's a little confusing. My recollection of it is that you have to hold all three buttons, then _just_ let go of the reset button while keeping the others held. Then the bootloader executes and you can release the other two buttons.

Some new fixes from the maker of the rom himself (Football the great):

1 - Due to the fact that wm6 changed the name of codecs for WMV and WMA this file:

Code:

http://4pda.ru/forum/uploads/img-48117-WMDecoders.rar

eliminate the problem of not playing these files bij third party players. Put it in your windows folder or in player folder such as TCPMP.

2 - This file:

Code:

-this problems are available for outlook too

I've installed WM6 Football Edition ROM upgrading the last original ROM from DELL based on the AKU 2.3.1.

1. Copy the files to be loaded into ROM to an SD card.

2. Insert card. (the format of the SD card must be FAT32, if you don't have a card reader u can format the sd card using the pda with this program : storagetools)

-"no suitable image file found" appears because the format of the SD card is FAT16

3. Hold down RESET + ON/OFF + WIRELESS simultaneously

4. Release ONLY Reset

5. Bootloader executes, (release WIRELESS and ON/OFF) identifying the files on the SD card to be loaded.

6. Click Action Button within timelimit to load to ROM.

WPA-PSK(TKIP) problem

Regarding the WPA-PSK(TKIP) problem, I've found out that if I disable wireless and re-enable it, the x51v will connect using the "standard" wifi client (configured for wpa-psk encryption, of course). At least this is working for me. On the 4pda forum there seems to be a similar post by Zuyev (page 38) but i can't read russian. Don't know if it can be useful to find the bug, anyway i find this solution quicker and more reliable than using the odyssey client.

Sorry for my poor english.

My speakers are not working

Hello,

As i posted earlier, i upgraded to the Football WM6 ROM.

I initially thought it was because of Mort player.

Since then i did another hard reset. Sure enough the speakers weren't working.

I did the upgrade from the A17 rom and not the A12 ROM from dell.

Do you think that would make a difference?

The speakers were working fine with the A17.

In the mean time I'm going to hard rest w/ A17. b/c it was working fine with that.
