Go to the WM5 A02 bootloader (instead of the A01 bootloader) before going to WM6 as this is what MagLite has recommended.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
ok cool, ill try that. its odd bc i never had that problem b4 with any other roms on my card.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
first just to update to wm5 A02 bootloader but with the sd card because i dont have a cable yet but if i cant do anything then ill just wait for the cable that i ordered to arrive.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
thanks Empel1960, works fine now. installing as i type.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
That's what I figured you were trying to do and that is not possible. The SD Image Loader is a function built into the bootloader itself. On our Axims, the bootloader cannot update itself using its own utility (ie. the SD Image Loader). This is a similar concept as a file (exe application, for example) trying to write an update over itself while actually running in a Windows OS. Just is not really possible. The bootloader can only be updated/changed by connecting to your PC.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jtplaya:
you did it! thanx very much, MagLite :)

but, "8) And added new bugs" <-could you delete this add-on? :) lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
I kind of guessed that but i only wished i could of updated the bootloader right now but o well ill wait for my cable. there is a program (BootBlaster) that could change the bootloader for ipaqs to run familiar(linux for pdas') on them and you would back up the bootloader and load the new own that could load wm and linux and after that you would wipe out wm and load up linux with the serial cable or a compact flash card
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
ok so i can enable and disable my bt and wm shows it while wifi dosent show up as either, just a little hard to tell if its on or not, and it refuses to allow me to connect with my wep key. ok random now, my wifi light just started blinking. and now wifi displays as enabled but still cant connect
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Have you disabled wifi with the hardware button and then enabled it again using the hardware button? I've had to do this after every soft-reset while testing the A02 release, but my wifi would work after that. Let me know if that helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chezdude:
Hmm, I haven't used it enough to say that I've had any of those issues. I'm using the Widcomm BT stack now as well, so that may make some difference. For the switching between input methods, it seems to be about the same as with the TO drivers. Just click the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen. The BT keyboard seems to be active at the same time as the other input methods.

The one thing that is missing is the ability to custom map the keys on the BT keyboard (so that Blue-Fn + K opens Word, etc.). Those don't work and I don't see a way to make them work from the input or BT Manager options.

What version of the BT driver did you try, the latest one at the iGo site (4.52)?

chezdude
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
not much luck all that happens is "Enabling Wireless" and after multiple trys with the wm util and with axim wirless power app, its still no go. and why is the wep key demanded in hex, its such a pain to type in and i do need the encryption on my router. was the little popup window for connecting to wifi deleted or just broken? and can some 1 link me to an odyssey cab, i want to see if it can do me any good. oh ya and when i first got the rom installed it was doing that trippy flashing of the green power light but then went away, any one ever figure that out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Empel1960:
I don't know if this can help you, I deleted the wireless and BT shortcuts in \Windows\Startup and use TodayWarrior

Is a today plug in it lets you activate wifi, BT, handle brightness, shows battery power, etc, I have no problems at all with it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Thanks once again, Maglite. However, A02 would have been better without you adding: 8) And added new bugs. Oh, well.

Just one question: Does "preview release 1" means that this is A02 beta, (like the football's A02beta) or is this a Final WM6 A02 version???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
you know, it would be funny if now wep is broken instead of wpa. ohh well i will give your suggestion a spin. and what is wifiknife on the today warrior page
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Have you considered using WPA-PSK instead of WEP? It is working great for me and you can enter your passkey in plain-text.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raberrio:
the installation is from WM6 A01? or WM5 A02?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drnihili:
I can't use that switching method. Once I've switched away from the keyboard, I can't switch back to it. I'm not using Widcomm though.

I tried both the latest from iGo, and also the one I was using when i was running WM5, I don't recall the number of that driver though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
i guess that 'l work seeing as i was just using wep bc wm5 wasnt taking my wpa pass.

Certificate Install Issue, Pt 3. <--Bug?

OK, Just installed A02. seems I am able to add a personal certificate via a .p12 file (at least it shows in the cert store), but intermediate, or trusted root certs are still not able to be added via the normal method. Also tried adding the cert via the CAB install method and that did not work. I am also unable to get the spAddCert utility to work on the Axim that some else mentioned was able to work (Getting "either was not signed with a trusted cert or one of it's components cannot be found" error.) It almost seems the Axim is application locked, or that the intermediate, and root cert stores are somehow locked. I also noticed that the reg key HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 has a value of 16 (d) instead of 40, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference (saw somewhere on MoDoCo about unlocking smartphones, thought it might apply). Anyway, I'm stuck if anyone can help me out, I would be most grateful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
What? The ROM is WM6 A02 and you put it on via WM5 A02 bootloader.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raberrio:
mmm but if i have installed the WM6 A01... should i return to WM5 first?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saukoon:
This is indeed a brilliant deletion, esp odyssey which is taking 2MB x 2 of space of the device
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saukoon:
I have the same problem. In fact I have a thread in aximsite discussing this, and seems that this is due to the internal battery (aka backup battery) which is drained (after several years).

This has inevitably caused the device this bug, and seems that the only way is to replace that internal battery. However the battery is hard to find and requires opening up our axims and some welding involved, if i remember correctly
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wizard_mini:
Someone found that if make 4700 rom pagepool to 0mb, then 4700 will never ocur filesys problem again and run fast like wm2003se. Maybe the reason is that 0mb pagepool will make the system use ram to cache files. Can someone try change pagepool to 0mb on x50v and test the performance? Maybe it will kill the filesys problem.

:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DrBios:
i did .. and filesys.exe strike and is the same ... i can notice a little speed using 0 pp but you have less memory available ... in wm5 a03 is diffrent when i use 0 pp i have 36 mb free ram on soft reset

WM6 A02 crc :182A39BC

WM5 A03 crc :1B4E5DEB

by the way ... if you have problmes with wifi on WM6 A02 i found than the problems is the "FLIGTH MODE"

i do this:

1º turn on Bluetooth on the screen icon

2º in the uper icon "Turn On Flygth MODE"

3º Turn On WIFI by the Screen icon (not hardware Button)

at this point wifi will take connection but no IP from the router

4 turn off wifi using the Icon on the screen (not hardware button)

5º then turn on wifi again using the soft button

Here wifi will be conected and obtein a correct IP

i guess than the problem is the FLYGTH MODE application
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
It's Preview release and it's have some bugs :)

Please test A2DP support...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Maglite, then when will you release the final version?

And is card encryption now working?

(by the way, i love that axim icon in settings for system information! Beatiful work!)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

I know the excitement for wanting the latest build of this rom, but please show some patience people.

Do you want it quick and buggy, or wait a little longer and not deal with the bugs that MagLite_RUS is trying to take care of.

It is good to be enthusiastic but please show some respect and consideration of the fact that MagLite_RUS has a life from building roms as we all have lifes from this forum and the computer.

MagLite_RUS, great work and I look forward to the next release.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
Xdenwarrior, card encryption now works :)

I'm working on this stupid wi-fi bug...and my friends working...but nothing turns out...

Mag Lite i found some things about wifi .. i hope this could be usefull

look my post above...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
DrBios, thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
O! If you would like to change page pool and need new CRC sum use this small program CRC Calc (many thanks to paveld).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Good to know. Maglite, what about all other bugs that have been listed in the thread "Bug list for Dell Axim x50v WM6 A01", such as Wpa-psk, do i still need media decoders if i run TCPMP, and most importantly if Windows Live now works???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DrBios:
see above Xdenwarrior ... for me that procedure works even after soft reset

maybe for a while you can use wifi with psk encryption
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
WMV and WMA now plays in TCPMP without patches.

Windows Live not work - use alternative programs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Well, sounds like mostly everything is already fixed in this beta (so it seems like we are very close to the final version).

But, maglite, please try to fix this windows live problem, since i ended up using it most of the time on my pda, while i was away before i installed WM6? I just hope that you will release a patch to enable its functunality. (i can't find any good decent programs where you can send short voice clips, that are as good as windows live.)

What makes WM6 Classic so much different from WM5 that Windows Live does not work on it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greenleef:
Wifi PSK - Does it work??

Hi. I tried A01 and was impressed, but Wifi PSK is the deciding point and I don't want to backup and flash to A02 unless I know at least it *may* work.

So... has anyone actually got WPA PSK working with the A02 build? Without the random hard reset problem? If not I'll wait until Mag fixes the bug.

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Yes, I have been using WPA-PSK without problems in the A02 alpha, beta, and now the PR1 release. You should try it out as A02 PR1 is working a LOT better than A01.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
No. Just go straight to WM6 A02 PR1! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I believe the problem is with a bug in Windows Live itself and not a bug in MagLite's WM6 releases. It might not be something MagLite can ever fix. Not positive on that though. :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greenleef:
Thanks for the advice, I will try out A02 and if I get any problems with WPA PSK I'll post.. I downloaded the A02 rom from the beginning of this thread, I'm assuming this is PR1 release...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewYorkNewYork:
One Bug and one Request

Bug:

The root certificate issue is still there: I have a thawte SSL certificate which works fine on my PC and my another WM6 on SMT5600 smartphone. I don't need to install root certificate since thawte is the one built-in.

However I cannot connect to the SSL site and it always gives me 0x80072f06 error.

This A02 doesn't solve the issue...so I keep looking and find this link:

http://groups.google.de/group/micro...ad/23df8abd5d03d050/d9d4fb69a03c1914?lnk=raot

It says the wrong wince.nls caused the error. So I replaced the wince.nls in A02 with the one in my WM6 of SMT5600....It works! Guess Maglite uses the Russian version of wince.nls which causes the error.

Request:

MS bluetooth stack still doesn't support PAN...I tried the winscomm stack but it won't transmit data even though it connects.

A02 seems running faster than A01! This is amazing. Great work Maglite!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vrouleau:
Flashed PR1 from WM5 A02 and WPA PSK works great!! Connections are faster. I always had problems with WM05 A02 WPA connections failing after 15mins. of use.

The device IS SO MUCH FASTER NOW then with WM05 A02. Boy... talk about bringing a new like to an old device...

The unit is now snappy and responsive to input. And no, it is not because it is a hard reset. WM05 A02 was much slower after a hard reset
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
If it has PR1 at the end of the file name that you downloaded, you got the right one! ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greenleef:
Are you talking about WM6 A02 PR1, this is the build this thread is for....

You will find it much quicker, try loading a few apps and today plugins then see if it's still quick ;)

Something is strange for me at a02.

I flashed the ROM and found out that WiFi is on. Well, it assumes to be off - the WiFi icon in taskbar indicates off, diode doesn't flash light and the button says "press ... to ENABLE wireless". But it finds in a while my access point and tries to connect to it so WiFi MUST be on! Button in dell wlan utility says "Turn ON" and it does nothing when i click it. soft reset didn't help. What can it be?

Bluetooth and Wifi

download Widcomm stack from

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/122247-widcomm-axim-x50v-x51v-state-development.html

in the first download there is a zip with 2 cab , one is the stack and the other one is the toogle application that works greate turning on and off with the hardware button Wifi and bluetooh ...much better than the default application
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DrBios:
do this:

1º turn on Bluetooth on the screen icon

2º in the uper icon "Turn On Flygth MODE"

3º Turn On WIFI by the Screen icon (not hardware Button)

at this point wifi will take connection but no IP from the router

4 turn off wifi using the Icon on the screen (not hardware button)

5º then turn on wifi again using the soft button

Here wifi will be conected and obtein a correct IP

i guess than the problem is the FLYGTH MODE application

then install the toogle application from aximsite that comes with the widcomm stack and everything will work like a charm

About A2DP: my friend wrote that A2DP works perfect with his Logitech Headphones.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NewYorkNewYork:
I believe many people using x50v will feel it is convenient to connect to Internet through another smartphone. Now WM6 uses Internet sharing which uses either usb or Bluetooth PAN.

Maybe I am really dumb but anyone can help me to set up the PAN connection on x50v with MS bluetooth stack?

Maglite, I really think the SSL certificate issue has something to do with wince.nls file...please try to use a English verison one and it may solve all the issues people have.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
I use english wince.nls from X50v WM5 A02...

I fell in love again with my x50v with the new ROM - thank you! I have a question about remote desktop though - once I go to full screen, how do I get out of it again? With newer WM devices, they have softkeys which makes remote desktop go out of full screen when pressed, but obviously the x50 doesn't have that :P
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
The only way I know to exit the full screen mode is to click Start -> Disconnect on the client you're connected to. Let me know if that helps. :)

When talking about remote desktop i strongly recommend using logmein it has much more functionality than integrated wm remote desktop and is a freeware. I used it even through my friends gprs connection (2,5kb/s) and was able to use my pc rather smoothly

Quick question. Do most of you reload your programs when you go from A01 to A02 preview? Or is it ok to use spd backup to restore your programs after the A02 upgrade?

Thanks for the great work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BrettDioson:
Personally, I would reload. I wouldn't want something carried over by mistake and not found out it broke something unil after I was well into using the new setup.

Heh, I just realized I could map some hardware keys on the Axim to be the left/right softkey. Since I won't be using PIM functions on it I won't be losing much functionality at all. Thanks for the suggestion though!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Is that the wireless and BT icon that were posted on AximSite at one point? If so, they are very nice! Been using them for a long time now. I always wondered why MS didn't give WM6 some decent looking connectivity icons. :confused: It's not like they have a lack of graphic artists. :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Larusso1981:
You're right, they're from aximsite. Font is from vista theme from wisbar (also from aximsite). I don't remember where i found vista.tsk, but its nicer than default theme ;)

A2DP works great, now x50v sends music from speaker to bt headphone automatically after bt headphone connects. in wm5 a03, i had to restart the music player in order to do that.

Upgrade from WM06 A01 to WM06 A02 PR1?

I apologize if this has already been answered. I did look for a solution, so if one has already been posted, then I simply must have missed it somehow.

My problem is this: I upgraded my x50v from WM05 A02 to WM06 A01, mistakenly assuming that I would need to be at WM06 A01 before I could install the WM06 A02 PR1 image.

Now, when I try to upgrade from WM06 A01 to A02 PR1, I get an image load failure. My device is still operable, the update simply failed entirely. In looking at the filename, I now realize that the A02 image is built to upgrade an x50v from WM05 A02 to WM06 A02 PR1... Meaning that, as far as I can tell, I cannot upgrade to WM06 A02 PR1 with the software that is currently on my x50v.

My question is: Is there an image available to go from WM06 A01 directly to WM06 A02 PR1, or will I need to downgrade? And if I need to downgrade, will I have to go all the way back to WM2003 as in some of the posts I've read, or is there a way to just go back to WM5 A02?

Again, I apologize if this has already been answered.
