great!

I think it'll be very useful for everybody. Especially people like me, who are in real trouble now. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] leegoon84:
I've been using it for 3 days and it just works fine.

I installed my spd diary and other pda essentials and tweaked Registry like WM5.0 and i can assure you that it runs faster than wm5.0

i found a bug

when i soft reset ... some times it just stop loading and i have to perform a hard reset to (selecting the cancel option ) to restart the unit ... that is very weird ... i gonna keep searching for this bug
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dgege:
I have the exact same problem ! It's weird. It stops at around 80-90%. Then I have to fake a hard reset and it reloads. And also, it doesn't happen every softreset, I would say one in 4 or 5.

by now i am in the 15th softreset without anu card inserted and it doesn't stop at all

i am guessing ... but i believe that sdcard have some responsabilitie on this

new info ... at the 30th it's stop again ... sdcard is not guilty i guess

only one issue, prolly microsoft's fault.

works awesome, my only problem now is that microsoft reader maxes out the cpu instead of idling low. eats the batteries quick.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jowilk:
just a suggestion

hi, on the first page pls. put "read the whole thread before flashing". it seems there are alot of people who think they can just flash the new rom blindly not thinking about what they are doing. find out how deep the water is before jumping of the end of the pier! thanks

Wifi still working fine here, using opera and IE as web browsers. I have no problem now using this great WM6 rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tinycg:
I've experienced similar wi-fi issues, currently it connects then disconnects after a minute or two and then no longer connects. Sometimes a canceled hard-reset fixes it, sometimes it reports a memory error, and sometimes it hangs on a soft reset.

The upgrade and install went swimmingly, still trying to narrow down the problem, I love WM6, certainly has given new life to my Axim, THANKS, just hope I can get it happy.

Hi,

Thankyou for your quick response.

I've followed your instructions as far as the first hard reset but the unit seems to be dead:( I've tried the power button several times and the screen is completely blank.

Can you suggest a way to restart the Axim

many thanks,

Shingansen
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Starting with the basics here--is your battery charged? Does it power on if you place it on the cradle? Have you tried to hard-reset again? Post your response to this in the WM6 A02 RTM thread, please. :)

Please, tell me what have you done, your Axim will re live, keep the faith. I'll guide you. In the next post, tell me what are you doing in that moment, then I can tell you, edit your post to update the next, etc.. But you must follow step by step, is correct, for sure.

Edit, read the last post of cavyman, post your response there.

ME TOO!!

My x50v dead!!!

The 4 files I copied to a formatted FAT32 SD card are:

1) DiMa_B_A02_X50v_WM5_EN.nb0

2) DiMa_B_A02_X50v_WM5_EN_nb0.crc

3) WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM60_EN.nb0

4) WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM60_EN_nb0.crc

I tried to upgrade from 2003SE to WM6 directly, and I put my device in the cradle with power supply.

When I started the bootloader, it shows "DiMa_B_A02_X50v_WM5_EN", at that time I just wonder why it isn't WM6 ? I want to soft reset the device but it is prohibited.

Then I have to press confirm button twice .... however, the flashing process takes only 5 seconds. Then it shows "Hard Reset your device" ....

After I hard reset my device, nothing happened, only a blank screen!! No matter I soft / hard reset it, it has no response!!!

Can anyone help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
It isn't important, its descriptive only, the prefix is important in this file. I dont understand why you want to soft reset. After you install it, its only takes a few seconds, read the screen, you must to do a Hard Reset. Of course, the device don't start. Its normal.

You must repeat this, but choose the SO image file. Install now the other file with _K_ in his name, read again the screen, Hard Reset to finish and wait for OS load.

Note: Now you've installed the bootloader, don't try to install again, not with DiMa prefix, its only from a WM2003 device. If you want to install it again rename to WM50. But you dont need to install again. Go to the SO image install.

This is the more easy way to upgrate to WM6, just simply read and follow correctly the steps, you didn't that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vampirexvii:
Thanks for your reply.

But now I can't restart my device even hard reset? What can I do?

Besides, I see the same case in a web site and the guy tried to use a 128MB SD to flash back to 2003SE after balnk screen, and he finally sucess.

I used a 2G SD card to flash in the above case, is it wrong to use such a large card?

Can anyone repost the "X50v Windows Mobile 2003 Revision A05 English" .nb0 and crc files for me to try to re-flash ?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
The Hard Reset is done when it finish, done by you. Then, you MUST press again WiFi-Power-Reset AGAIN, and select the OS Image, whent IT finished do a Hard Reset and wait.

The SD Card must BE FAT32, but if you've installed the bootloader, I dont think that the card was wrong. Do what I say to you. Repeat the processs choosing the other file.

I've Windows Mobile 2003 A05 English, here is.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
1) Copy the four files to the SD Card

2) WiFi+Power+Reset

3) Install the _B_ file, is the bootloader

4) Hard Reset

5) WiFi+Power+Reset

6) Install the _K_ file, is the operating system

7) Hard Reset

8) There is no 8) :)

Now can you see it more clearly?

But note, the _B_ starts from DiMa if you have wm2003, if you installed it, as you did, to reinstall it must be WM50 ok?

C'mon you can do it :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3dot:
Thanks migatxu

Would you mind share your wm2003 english image?

Here is a file host site:

http://www.mediafire.com/

And I would like to know how to create nb0 image?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
Te link is http://rapidshare.com/files/58078830/WM2003SE_A05_EN_X50v.rar.html

You can make your own nb0 getting a dump of your rom with Grab It. Take a look in the forum. With a hex editor you extrac the bootloader and the SO image and save as nb0 files. When I'll be at home I'll attach a pdf.

You can make it too with Image2nb0f from a .img that you'll see it extracting a official Dell upgrade, in /ROM

and unfortunately, X50v dead as well.

any suggestion, thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
Yo made this wrong too? Jesus H Christ..

My english could be better, but ....

You didnt made the second WiFi+Power+Reset and installl the OS Don't you? YES the device don't power up when you install the bootloader, because its for WM5, WM6, and you have WM2003SE, its normal. Please, install the OS as you did with the bootloader...

In trying to go to the A02 bootloader I think I f'd something up.

I downgraded back to WM2003 and everything went fine.. and went into the bootloader and tried to go to the Dima_A02 WM5 .. but now it wont even turn on.

Did I brick this thing? I've updated this thing a couple times, and I'm realizing that I dont think that was the right move. I cant get into the bootloader and everything is unresponsive.

Argh. Can anybody point me in the right direction at least?

And yes this is an X50v and yes I have run WM6 successfully, but was on the A01 bootloader and was gonna go to the A02.. I figured if the 2k3 bootloader saw the image I was good.. am I screwed? That would be a real bummer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
I'm not sure, but with DiMa as prefix, I think it could read a watermelon if it could be possible xD Are you trying to install the correct bootloader? With the correct name? DiMa not Dima. What do you want to do? Install again WM6?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tinycg:
Thanks for the reply.. sitting here shooting myself for not doing it the same way I did the first time.

-- Had 2k3, installed WM5 A01 then WM6.. nothing I did after that could get to the A02 bootloader so it was suggested a while ago but never had time to downgrade to 2k3 and go to Wm5, then A02 then WM6.

Upon downgrading the WM5 image from the first page that Maglite links too couldnt be read by the bootloader, I had another card with a WM5_A02 on it and put that one in.. it showed

DiMa_B_A02_X50v_WM50_A02EN_Bootloader.nb0

Seeing as that was all the bootloader could see, I figured well it is DiMa and should be able to go from 2k3.. it immediately said 'update successful' pretty quickly.. which scared me, stating to hard reset.

I did.. and now it doesnt even power on.. I've taken out the battery and put it back in, nothing. If I could get to the bootloader I'd be ok, because I can work with that.

Damn it, I was using WM6 ok before, I should have just upgraded to RC2, but NO, I wanted to make sure I had the A02 bootloader, hehehe.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
Try installing the os image after the bootloader... You know... WiFi+Power+Reset.. Of course with the correct file in the SD card. When is done make a Hard Reset and wait.

The same problem in previous post... C'mon you can do it :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tinycg:
Yeah wifi-power-reset does absolutely nothing, tried it several times.

:mad: Thanks though, hahaha.

EDIT: took the battery out for a while, tried it again.. says bootloader A02.. so I'll give this a shot and let you know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
First it will be better here then the problem is in your fingers :D try try try Maybe it help you, press Wifi and Power, then quickly press Reset and release while you keep pressing Wifi and Power till you see the SD Image Loader.

I go to bed now, get lucky :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] davdavo:
I am going to cry. My x50v is bricked, like the other two. Can't active sync, can't get into the bootloader, it doesn't even turn on. Completely dead :(

Is there is way to revive it?

Here's what happened. Unit ran Windows Mobile 2003 SE. I followed this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=330748

Attention! If you have Windows Mobile 2003SE ROM on your device, FIRST, please download THIS ARCHIVE (RAR 32.4 MB), and update your PDA to A01 Windows Mobile 5 ROM.

After that, please download official WM5 A02 ROM and update your PDA to WM5 A02 ROM.

I downloaded the first file, which extracted the following 4 files:

WM50_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0

WM50_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG_nb0.crc

WM50_K_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0

WM50_K_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG_nb0.crc

I renamed the first two to:

DiMa_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0

DiMa_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG_nb0.crc

Pressed Power + Wifi + Soft Reset. It found the DiMa bootloader, so I pressed the action button twice. It then told me to hard reset.

At this stage, I pressed "Power + Wifi + Soft Reset". Then the PDA is completely dead, whatever I do, it won't turn on.

My x50v is now fooked and tears are flowing out of my eyes atm :(

What can I do from here on?

I did it according to this tutorial:

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-...olution-how-use-sd-image-loader-flashing.html

It told me to pressed "Power+ wifi+ soft reset" when the unit says "hard reset" after flashing the DiMa bootloader.

"6. After the process is finished (takes only a few seconds) you will be asked to hard reset your system. Ignore this message and press Wireless + Power + Reset again."

Help, how can I get into the bootloader or get this to even turn on?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] davdavo:
I tried what you said over and over, it didn't work at first, but eventually my dead x50v booted up again. I was so happy, it was like getting my first root all over again.

:D

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vampirexvii:
Blank screen ...... blank screen ...... nothing I can do .....

YEAH, my x50v re-birth again.

2 hours later after the 1st wifi+power+reset last night, I tired it again .... woooo, the bootloader A02 works again!!!!

Now my x50v is running WM6 very happily.

For anyone who wants to upgrade from 2003SE to WM6, I think, you have to wait some time after the 1st wifi+power+reset, then try to do the 2nd wifi+power+reset. I waited for 2 hours and it turns on again. Yeah.

Thanks for all.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
What is the language of that A01 that you've installed? And the A02 you want to install? If you try to upgrade with the Dell's tools if it see that you have other language you cant do the upgrade.

Then, which language is in your device?

3) WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM60_EN.nb0

4) WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM60_EN_nb0.crc ?

y ¿para ir de WM6-A02 a WM2003-A05 son:

1) WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0

2) WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN_nb0.crc

3) DiMa_K_A05_X50v_WM2k3_ENG.nb0

Hi i have 2 x50v. One with A02 of wm5 ( in english) and another with maglite´s rom. I have instalaed the same tomtom version 6.030 and with the maglite´s rom i can not use the tomtom because do not recognise the external bt gps.

What can i do?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
First of all, have you successfully paired your bt gps with your Axim with MagLite's ROM? What port did you set up your GPS's incoming connection on (in the BT settings)? Is TomTom set up to use that particular port number?

Yes i have successfully paired my external bt gps with my axim with magLite´s rom.

In system, gps, it is said that the port choosen is NONE and automatically managed by the axim . I have tried choosing port 3 and selecting it from the tomtom. I did not work.

yesterday i changed from A02 of wm5 and the one of maglites 2 times. I installed the same tomtom and paired the gps in the same way. The result was the same, in wm5 everything was ok and in wm6, no.

What can i do?

Thanks.

I can certify that TomTom 6 works flawlessly both in WM5 and 6. I have now Maglite WM06 A2 RTM image working on Dell Axim x50v. Do not wory about GPS from setting meu. Turn your BT GPs on. than click on BT icon at bottom right of your Axim. Add new device and pair it. Now from COM ports tab allocate an outgoing port to your BT GP reciever. than OK.I have selected comport 7. Now you can allocate that port to the programme from windows setting GPS menu. Now go to Tomtom and select the same out going com port as allocated. TomTom should than pick up the signal in few swconds provided your BT reciever is sensitive and in good view of sky. I can easily pick up 10 channels indoor with my solar 20 channel SIERF star 3 BT GPS receiver. I have at present following GPS systems on my device as follow and all working fine

Dell Axim x50v with Maglite A2 RTM

1. TomTom 6 ( latest version 6.032 (8351)

2. Navigon 6.2 ( Build 818) with POI warner 3

3. Garmin XT ( version 4.10.20 pw) works only with Garmin GPS10x reciever

4. iGo Myway 2006 Plus

I hope that helps. Tomtom is much quicker and more smooth than previous versions on WM05 or WM03.

HELP with upgrade !!

Hi everyone!

I just found the thread and the WM6 ROM for the Dell X50v. My device is still operating under WM2003SE and I was very excited to see the ROM to upgrade to WM6.

I downloaded the ROM as well as the 2 upgrades to WM5 which I understand I have to do first. But when I wanted to install the new ROM's I noticed the files were .nb0. I have upgraded by ROM before but always through the ones provided by Dell and to be honest I have no clue how to install the ROMs on your posts...

I hope someone will be able to help and explain me how to do the upgrades and start enjoying what seems to be a fantastic new ROM.
