Where is WM6 A02 ROM?

Don't flame me...I did read through the posts.

Some people said they have updated to WM6 A02, but where to find it?

My bug report for WM6 A01 is the SSL certificate issue:

I have a thawte certificate which is built in for WM5 and WM6, but it works under WM5, not WM6. The error message says the name of the certificate is not valid or not match the name of the site. This problem prevents me from setting the sync with my exchange server.

Great job and WM6 is running so smooth.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atompson:
I don't think that's correct. As I understand, the x51v has non-volatile memory. It's a function of hardware, not software. I could be wrong, but don't test it unless you're willing to lose the data.

As for me, I've gone back to WM2003SE. The battery drain problem is just too big an issue. Some days I'm in the office all day with the x50v on the cradle. But some days I'm out running around and I can't be worried about the battery running down in a couple of hours. The biggest thing I wanted WM6 for was SDHC support. I guess I'll just get a big CF card and be done with it. WM6 is also slower than WM2003 SE. The difference for me was pretty noticeable. Every time you turn it on, you get the little 4-color wait wheel for several seconds. There's a delay between tap and response. I also had Wifi problems and tethering problems. At least once a day I'd have to re-enter the ATT MediaNet username and password to connect to my cell phone to get email.

It's a really good development for x50v users. Maybe the next version will have the bugs worked out.

For anyone interested, the rollback that Dell released for WM5 -> WM2003SE works for WM6 -> WM2003SE just as well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zorky9:
I suggest you do the "fake server hack" (Activesync hack) first. Battery drain was a big issue with WM5 on the X50v, well at least for A01. See this link as this has tons of hacks and tweaks for the your Ax:

Hi,

On my Exec I have under Settings/System something called Task Manager that does change the function of the "x". It was apparently created by HTC (Version 1.0 (Build 26628.1) that produces the pdas. So I guess somebody cooked that ROM including this very neat little application.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
Well, it's been just about a week since the WM6 install, and so far:

- NO crashes -- other than a couple of misbehaved apps that got uninstalled when they messed up. I haven't had to reset my Ax once for any reason other than installing programs that required a reset.

- NO battery drain! As I mentioned, every day or two, at least once, my Axim wouldn't be able to wake up. I'd have to do a reset, which would bring up the

"memory error" dialog, where I'd have to hit the mail button to fix it. While it was frozen like this it would usually drain the battery. Left long enough it could drain in completely. Not cool. But this has not happened even once under WM6.

- My alarms ALWAYS work. WM5 had a bad habit of either "forgetting" alarm events or not properly waking the Axim up to trigger them (but they'd trigger when I turned the unit on manually -- fat lot of good that does.) This was a major pain. So far, this has not happened once with WM6.

- The system is noticeably faster and more stable than it was under WM5. If it's slower than WM2003SE, then I don't really notice from a practical standpoint, which in itself is good enough for me.

I'd consider this a resounding success. It works brilliantly and has breathed new life into the unit. Now I just have to get an SDHC card and try that out. Anyone tried an OCZ 8GB Class 4 SDHC card? That's what I'm looking at picking up next.

for those that are worried about wifi I think it only applies to routers that are running WPA security. I have not had one problem with my router but it is only running WEP.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Drakey83, I can understand your viewpoint on my post if you did not see all of my other, more calm (but still very direct) posts to X50 users about not using this ROM. However, after about the fifth time an X50 user messes up his/her device, you have to sit and question, "Why are X50 users not seeing/understanding not to use this ROM?" So, I will admit that I was pretty ticked off by the time that I made my "mega-huge font using some upper case words" post, but I don't know how else to make it visible and clear.

Perhaps you are right and we are all adults and shouldn't call eachother names. But if we're all adults here, shouldn't we have learned to follow directions by now? I'm not sure about everyone else here, but I'm pretty sure I was following directions pretty well in school by the time I was in the third grade. So why, if we're all adults here, should there be any reason someone would get on here and write that "I bricked my X50...I installed this ROM and now it won't work! HELP!!!!"??? Maybe I'm missing something. However, if a child (or a dog for goodness sake) does not listen and obey, what do you do? You have to be stern and teach them. Sometimes it takes fussing or yelling. But most of the time, you get your point across and the child (or dog, for instance) starts to listen. My original posts to the first X50 users who messed up their devices, though not overwhelmingly sympathetic and friendly, showed them the error in their ways and told them to find the information they needed to get back on track. How is that any different than, say, raising a child or a pet (a pet who can learn)? Along the same lines, most of the time, if you didn't learn something as a child (when life was generally easier), you most certainly would have to learn it the hard way as an adult.

So here's my final statement on the matter and then I'm going to drop it. If we're all adults here, but some of us adults didn't learn to follow directions carefully as children, then maybe those adults who don't follow the directions carefully are learning to follow them now the hard way....aka, the $400 brick way. And now I'm done.

Dell released a utility to roll back from WM5 to 2003SE when the issues with WM5 A01 first came to light. I've used this utility to go from WM06 back to WM2003SE and it worked fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewYorkNewYork:
Smart solution!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drpsycho:
yes, i know but when i start the utility, an error tell me that the level of battery is low. my original x50v was in italian but now is in english. may be is this the problem? what utility must i use italian or english?

thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atompson:
Good question. The utility is on the Dell US website and it uses the English 2003SE ROM. There's a way to switch language ROM's. There used to be a thread telling how on Aximsite, but they took it down for legal reasons. There's a way to flash the boot loader similar to how you flash the rom. You need to flash to the english boot loader then you can flash the english rom. I wish I could be more specific. I did it once when WM5 bricked my Axim but I can't remember the details.

Bricked X50v using WM5 to 2003se Util.

Hi there, been following this thread the last few days, yesterday I tried out the WM6, excellent job, but I decided to go back to 2003se until the outstanding problems are sorted.

Which is my problem... I've bricked my unit going back to 2003se. I used to wm5 to 2003se util from Dell, but now It won't boot.. just hangs on the Dell logo screen. The first time I powered on it went to the 'setup' bit, to calibrate the touchpad btu was VERY slow. I hard reset, then it just hangs every time. Help please !!

Is it my boorloader, it did boot first as described so maybe i'm looking at a corrupted ROM? If so, does anyone have .nbo and .crc for 2003se please?

Hang on... it just came alive. but it is still VERY slow...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi again, I thought I might add some more info in case it helps me and anyone else going from 2003 to wm6...

When I upgraded from 2003se, I did the following in order;

upgrade from 2003se to WM5 A01 using Dell's tool

upgrade from A01 to A02 using .nbo and .crc via SD card

upgrade from A02 to WM6 A01 via SD.

... then back to 2003se via Dell's util

Hi all and thank U so much for this wonderful windows mobile 6..i was wondering when the windows live might be available to download..I have hotmail as my email account so I would like to be able to use that..are there gonna be anymore updates applied to this maglite version of WM6?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bcbarnes:
I hit the exact same issue at about 1:00 AM this morning. I had decided to back to the original 2003se using the DELL downgrade, and in so doing, ended up with REALLY REALLY slow performance. I then decided that I had no choice but to go back to WM5, so I started the DELL upgrade utility to go from 2003se back to WM5. You have to be very patient as it takes FOREVER for the unit to reset and get to the point where active sync can connect. The upgrade utility did the first, short download, then I reset my device, and low and behold it was running fast again, but still had 2003se on it. I have NO IDEA what that first short download did, but it apparently fixed my x50v and got me back to 2003se and very snappy performance. I hope this helps you out too - I was just about to throw the thing in the trash it was so bad.

Windows Live and Mobile 6

The post that is there still has a bug in that it won't wifi. The best thing to do if you want to use messenger and hotmail is to IE to mobile.live.com and use the web based versions of them. You will get 1 or 2 certificate not matching but will take you to a sign on screen. From there you will need to type in your full email address in the email (don't use the @xxx dropdown as it doesn't do what you think, I think it was suppose to javascripted back to the Email and appended your selection) then your password.

This will work until a fix is produced.

Soft Reset Does Not Work in WM6 A01! Need Help!

While being a lot faster than WM5, this WM6 A01 ROM for Dell Axim x50v is as buggy as hell! I can't believe it but the most important feature - soft reset - doesn't work. Like some others, everytime i do a soft reset, MY DEVICE GETS STUCK AT ABOUT 80% OF THE WAY. The only solution so far is a hard reset. Anyways, i really need your help, guys, to fix this problem!!! Is this really a bug? I have this soft reset problem without any other third-party software installed. The only thing that i'm running Is Dell GPS Navigation System off my CF card. Tomorrow, i'm leaving for vacation, and so i will be using this Dell GPS on my Axim extensively. So, can somebody give me a quick solution to this soft reset problem before my departure?:( :(

You should know that after flashing back to 2003 SE, when you first turn off the device it will takes several minutes for it to create BIS and format it before it will be fully functionnal.

my problem in wm6 is the connection between the pda and the phone.

what connection manager can i use? phone manager don't work
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bcbarnes:
Does that mean that it will come up and appear to work, but be very slow because it is creating and formatting BIS at the same time, or does that mean that it will sit at the DELL opening logo a long time. Does the device actually create BIS and format it in the background while still operating?

Brian.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
That's not the only solution, however, that is part of the solution (until that bug is fixed). When it does the 80% hang, do what you've been doing as far as the hard-reset button combo. However, once the hard-reset confirmation (restore factory settings dialog) pops up on the screen, don't confirm the hard reset with the contacts button. Instead, cancel it by pressing the e-mail button. This will then cancel the hard-reset and do a soft-reset again, but it won't hang at 80% this time. That's about the only way around it until it's fixed. Hope you get this in time to help out!

Yes. It took a really long time for me. I'm talking 30 minutes. I spent that time frantically looking for the instructions on how to go back to 2003SE through flashing the ROM.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kartam:
well I've been used this one.

I'd like to tell you my story on WM6

1. SD image flashing

after this I filled about 40 MB memory with data (not at once, of course). Compaction came out sometimes but not too often. Unbooting Axim caused me to HR it. Then began my horror.

Well I filled about 5mb with programs. So, the compaction should be for this 5 MB only, right? NO!! It is for 45 MB because AFTER HARD RESET WM DOESNT CLEAR STORAGE MEMORY!! IT ONLY QUICK FORMATS IT LIKE IN FAT32 HDDs! files remain but tracks deleted. And my ax is now frantic, sloooooooooooowwwwwwwww

Is there any utility to format Storage ROM? i used PSMformat while on 2003Se but now I fear using it on WM6 - i don't want to brick my ax.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satnile:
I couldn't disagree more, this WM6 is fantastic as it has completely revived my axim, now with 23 programs installed on the SD card only and running smoothly for the past 7 days. I didn't come across the hang on 80% on soft reset at all and haven't done hard reset yet. The WPA-PSK wifi works very well after the odyssey manoeuvre and the filesys.exe comes on randomly but disappears on its own accord.

does bt pairing work in wm6 bc i didnt have anything to test it with and just went back to wm5. the wm5 A03 rom wouldn't let me pair with my buddies phone and would be cool if it worked again as in wm2003. and has any one tried btcrawler, the real bluejack, or bluezard with wm6 A01?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
There is no WM6 A02 as of yet. Not sure if it was mentioned by someone, but only WM6 A01 exists at this point.

Hopefully there will be at least a patched version of WM6 soon, even if it's not a full A02 release. :)

Yes, bluetooth pairing does work for the devices that I've tested in WM6. I have paired with my computers, cell phones, and GPS devices without any problems. I don't have any BT headsets to test out though, but I'm assuming others have paired fine with those.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
No, your WM6 is not corrupted. I believe that MagLite disabled those types of sounds by default. Are you referring to screen tap sounds? If so, you should be able to turn them back on by going to Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications. Once in there, you can check the box for Screen Taps. That should get you back to the way you had it in WM5. Give that a try and let me know if that's not what you were thinking. :)

Just in case I screw up or don't like WM6, thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atompson:
You don't need to back up the WM2003SE ROM. As I said in an earlier post, the Dell utility designed to roll back from WM5A01 to WM2003SE works for rolling back from WM6 to WM2003SE. It does take a LONG time to boot the first time, but it works.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Woah, atompson, did you ask yellowled if he/she wanted to save all their current settings and programs from WM2003SE?

Yellowled, are you wondering if you can save your ROM or your device's current state (installed programs, registry settings, program links, etc...)? If you only care about retaining the WM2003SE ROM, then you can follow atompson's advice about the Dell rollback RUU. However, if you want to be able to fully return your device to its original state (pre-WM5/WM6 upgrades), you will need to backup everything now and then restore the backup after you use the Dell Rollback RUU (if you do choose to go back to WM2003SE).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yellowled:
Thank you atomspon and cavyman for your prompt replies! Yes I just want to retain the WM2003SE ROM. I will use the Dell utility like you said if I need to revert. Thanks very much again.

Looks mine is exceptional case. I am trying to flash to 6.0 by pressing wireless + power + reset button (I have the 6.0 rom on my sd card)..instead of searching for rom, my dell x50v gives me option of "hard reset" or "soft reset" by pressing mail or calendar button.

Well the update went smoothy and yes SDHC cards do work (i have one that will only work in its little reader and my X50v now lol.

Everything seams to be good imo.

Except the filesys.exe issue.

After installing all my previous apps, the device feels like its back to that official Dell A02 update. The Unofficial A03 worked much faster and reliably than the WM6 one atm.

Hopefully some more tweeking can be done to improve this but atm the filesys.exe process runs way to often and for too long to be enjoyable.

Back to A03 for now. Thanks for the awesome upgrade though. I will definitly test the next version.

Copy and paste the following text into Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

Save the text file as "asnetfix.reg" or whatever filename you want, as long as it ends in .reg

Now double-click the reg file and import the information into the registry. ActiveSync should now allow the network connection to work properly.
