Oh I see..so this is not the final version then..there is another one coming out in a few weeks and that will be the final version? I have read the instructions on the first page but I am still very confused as to what I am supposed to do. I would never install something like this by myself without getting proper instruction because I really have no clue how to do it. I installed WM5 by myself but that seemed to be much easier for me, just pressed the button and installed it, but this seems a little bit harder. I use wireless sometimes but not really..not really my main use of the axim..is that the only issue with it, the wireless..but everything else is working great..? Thanks so much for welcoming me to the forum, I am really glad that I found this place :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerryfreak:
well, 'final' is relative. whenever it works well without bugs, that will prob. be 'final', which could be the second or third relase. hard to say, i'm not the developer!

BTW, maglite rocks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LakerChick4life:
JerryFreak..Thank U so much for the info. I did not realize that on the other forum that I posted that it was for the X51V..so besides the bug with the wireless, is there any other bug that you have found with your Axim? If at all possible, since you seem to be very familiar with this release, can you help me install it and tell me exactly what I have to do. I have MSN messenger, AIM, yahoo, whichever you perfer..I would really appreciate it..any time that u are free

hmmm.. ive been using this utility since installing WM6. basically, i just go online to download mails as i surf using my notebook. but i have dl'd a huge bunch of mails this week that i was connected for as long as 20 minutes before logging out. if that's longer than most of you guys who have reported wifi connectivity problems, then just maybe this utility has something to do with it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerryfreak:
i use mine for very limited specialized use (digital recording), and have upgraded to wm6 from 2003se for one reason alone: sd card support.

read the entire thread first, and i'd be happy to answer your questions
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zorky9:
okay, so i drained my battery all the way til the ax shut down. when i changed the battery, it booted up only to get the low battery warning and system going to sleep in 10 seconds even though this is a battery just fresh off the cradle charger. hmmm.. wierd. but i can't boot up with fresh juice if i drain the previous one to 0%. have to put the unit back in the cradle for a few minutes for it to recognize the new battery level. may be an isolated case, but if there's anybody out there with this problem on their WM6 Ax, let me know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zeus_Alex:
I have the same problem..just tested it to be sure...

And boy, oh boy, wm6 drains my X50v 2 times faster...

But again, i just wanted Windows Live to work...Have been testing several .cab releases, but they all do the same...And i think that Football's WM6 for X51v has the same problem..hmm...strange!

Time to start messing with the registry trying to find something...maybe the problem is there..

I'll be reporting with news...

Bug list??

- Wifi WPA problems

- Windows live and microsoft related(preinstalled) not conecting thru Wifi

- Faster battery drain (for me is twice as faster)

- Sometimes, Freezing boot (at 80% or near it)

- Filesys at 80/90% (but thats normal)

and maybe others...

And by the way, whtas "btdwake" at Startup for?? Anyone?

Maglite, please give us news about whats up...eheh

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Lol, so now you're the one saying "read the entire thread first"...that's funny. However, the part I'm finding to be even more funny is that now you're the one offering to answer questions. Seems like not too long ago that you were asking what difference pagepool size makes and whether you could flash directly from WM6 A01 to WM5 A02. If you're level of understanding the X50v warranted those questions then you should not be helping new people flash their Axim at this point.

LakerChick4life, I would suggest looking for the help of at least a Senior Member--someone who has been around on this forum for a long time. There are plenty of who hang around this thread (and several other Axim related threads) fairly often that I'm sure could answer your questions

based on more extensive experience. You might also want to check out http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/ if you have not already. There are some really good guides there! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Empel1960:
Well I've been running my Axim X50v for the last 6 days and only problem is windows live, I upgrade from WM5 A02, and I deleted all the shortcuts in the startup folder, I use today warrior plugin to start stop wifi or bt, I can connect the Axim with my blackjack for internet access where is no wifi available, regarding swapping batteries I've notice that sometimes you need to clean the contact area on the battery with a clip or knife.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerryfreak:
wow cavyman, you are the definition of chutzpah! note that she is totally new to flashing, and that i politely suggested she read the whole thread before asking questions, but i did answer some of her basic questions first. I'm sure you wouldnt have given her the time of day before you got rude. Cant beleive youre giving me grief for this

I never pretended to be an expert, but i have been flashing devices for as long as i can remember, and would gladly help someone not brick their device if i could. oh but wait, i forgot that in your eliteist world, only n00bs ask questions! all bow down to the hallowed beta tester!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LakerChick4life:
I appreciate you all helping me..I was wondering what you all thought of the WM6..are you all happy with it..besides the wireless problems that I have been reading about, is everything else pretty much great. What are the advantages of having WM6..does it make the axim go faster..I sure hope so..cause my WM5 can go slow at times..If any senior member or anyone out there is willing to give me step by step instructions, chatting with me or whatever, I would really appreciate it a lot. I understand that some of you can't and I am cool with that. I just dont want to take any chances of me messing up my Axim. Installing Wm5 I found much easier, just click and install, but this one seems a little more difficult.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerryfreak:
in my experience its faster than wm5, but slower than wm2003se

but it depends on what youre doing with it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LakerChick4life:
Other then the wireless being buggy, does that mean that it doesnt work at all or it just goes on and off..if it goes on and off I dont mind..what does WM6 come with that WM5 does not..I noticed that for me, that WM5 is faster then Wm2003..I didnt care for 2003 as much

New ROM

I passed by the same problem and after I realized the SDcard must to be formated in FAT32 is not Never wil be work
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ymlin123:
I have the same problem when I swap a battery, it can’t update the battery status and still shows the original battery status. The only way to show the correct battery status is to put it into cradle. This problem exists in WM5 A01, A02, 2003SE A5. So, I don’t think this is a Rom bug, it looks like a hardware trouble. Someone said the reason is backup battery dead. I am not so sure. Since my Axim is still under warranty, I called Dell and they exchange a refurbished one. And this one works perfectly, no battery problem at all. You can see many x50v users have the similar problem in www.aximsite.com.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ymlin123:
One bug.

Calculator program can’t work.

I can open calculator program, but I can’t key in number, and it shows program error. Someone can help me to test it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerryfreak:
my calculator works fine, on both my axims(one loaded from bootloader A01, one loaded from A02)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LakerChick4life:
I am trying to upgrade to Rom 02 on my X50V so that I can get the Wm6 and I am running Vista but I just found out that it wont work in vista and on my axim right now it says wait for usb to be ready and it shows on my computer that some device is trying to update but the driver wont work in vista..so I dont know what to do
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bcbarnes:
The dell upgrade is known to not work on vista, and also not work on Windows XP tablet edition. If you have a real Windows XP system, that would be your best bet. Others have suggested using VMware or the like.

satnile, hi. i managed to flash wm6. at the end of process it pops up an error image update fail (-1) but i can reboot to wm6 or wm5 whichever i flash (wi error). however, after installing my softwares or personalizing some settings, the unit hung on me after a soft reset. anyone having problems after a soft reset?

happy for u. can u share how u managed it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LakerChick4life:
basically what I did is that I Pressed the power button and wireless button..then I stuck in the stylus in the back(soft reset) for a second and took it out..did that about 5 times and it worked

I was wondering, since I have read about the windows live messager thing not working..I presume there will be some kind of patch in the next few weeks, its not like there will be another new update for this and we will have to do this all over again right..just wondering
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
Cavyman stop being so harsh on all these people they are probably all freaking out on the fact that they might just of lost a $400 piece of equipment and they don't need you calling them an idiot to make them feel worse. I don't even have a x50v but I'm reading this message board to look to see what kinda problems i might run into once the x51v ROM is finally released, I'm sure you were a no0b once too and I'm sure you did some thing that might of been stupid. all I'm saying is you have no right to call names in here we are all adults in here and maybe you need to start acting like one!

dude, Drakey83, cavyman is right in what he states. look how many people messed up by just not reading the simple freekin forum title or even the file name. seriously his post was really needed, bc when people scroll really fast people tend to see big flashy things... hence big cavy post=ohh this is only 4 x50v.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
all im saying is he could be alot nicer about it, this is suposed to be a place to look for direction and help, not to be talked down too. i agree with what he said just not how he said it.

PagePool change

Hi Maglite!

After having WM5 3.5.2 with a pagepool of 4.8 Mb for more than a week I must say that the results are so satisfactory to me that I can't see a reason to have a bigger pagepool. :)

The question is: Is possible to reduce the pagepool size in WM6 (with good results)?

With 4.8 I have more than 32Mb of free RAM which is really nice. And I have no compains about speed (WM5 A02 was clearly slower specially when starting the PDA)

Another question (probably Iĺl have to check by miself) is that I have a Belkin thumbpad. Do you think that is probable that the WM5 driver works in WM6?

Thanks!

Hi,

I wont to traslate this ROM, but I have a problem.

How can I extract the dump of the ROM? And after i modify this ROM, How can I rebuild the nb0 file?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
That is not a question for this thread. The instructions on dumping a ROM and cooking/rebuilding a ROM are answered in other threads. You need to search elsewhere for those instructions.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Publius:
Help!

I extracted the files and put them on a 1gb SD card, pushed the wireless+power+reset, but it never loads the image on the SD card. Any help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Yep, I mentioned the same thing in the WM5 A03 thread yesterday. It (obviously) hasn't been fixed since the beta release.

Now, is that purely speculation or do you have some info that the rest of us don't? Sector size, for the most part, is going to be device dependent. Therefore, the sector size that works best on an X50v might not be best for an HTC or an Ipaq. Also, remember that MagLite said he did not know how to change the sector size and would therefore leave it at 4k.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
A little reminder...

I know everyone is finding that as soon as you flash the new WM6 ROM to your Axim, all of the sudden your Axim seems to be flying (very quick). But, as some of you might recall, the same thing appears to happen even on WM5 A01-A03 right after a flash or a hard-reset. This occurs for the simple reason that your device is, at that point, in its most bare, uncluttered (essentially uncluttered) state.

I would encourage everyone here to load all the programs you had on your device (before flashing to WM6) and *THEN* report on how your device is behaving. Getting on here and saying, "I just flashed to WM6 and my device is way faster than ever before!!!..." is perhaps the dumbest comment that could be made. :rolleyes: Just to reiterate my above point, *any newly flashed device is going to be faster than a device loaded down with programs*.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hendrixus:
It still does with programs installed.

Maybe using Gxmark for some figures
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frelnik:
WPA-PSK doesn't work for me either, but that has been since Dell's A02 ROM. I've never been able to connect to my router with WPA-PSK via the Windows Mobile connection software, but Odyssey always worked--that is until A02. So for me and my router at least, it was broken by Dell.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
WPA-PSK worked great in A03 for many Axim users (including myself). However, it is indeed broken in WM6 A01. Hopefully MagLite can get it fixed up pretty quickly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 3dot:
The rom read/write performance is extreamly low in spb benchmark.

At the begin after reboot,the system is freeze and slow down a lot.It would be better after the data cache in ram.

** updated:forget it!Because spb benchmark on 2003se file storage is ram,so the file system test based on ram performance,wm5/wm6 based on rom,then the benchmark is worse.

You can see the result.

The left hand side is x50v on wm6.The another is capture from website's old wm 2003se review.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Maeggor:
Anyone can put a youtube video o similar to see the fast wich is that ROM recently installed? And another also with many programs installed!

There is also options to translate into spanish? If yoy MagLite need help I should help you!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
slow down

im not exactly sure but after i installed adobe pdf reader and spb full screen keyboard i got this slow down which i had been also experiencing on the A03 rom. i proceeded to remove the pdf reader and it seemed to return some speed, but i think spb full screen keyboard may be the slow down cause bc in the A03 rom after awhile i would press my hardware mapped key and it would take a really long time to load and fyi its version 3.0. and as for read write speed it seems to vary sometimes as far as i can tell.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
how do i make my stupid power light stop blinking and has anyone had to do a reset to connect to their wifi and whats up with flight not being able to turn off flight mode. :confused: oh idk what happened but after clicking randomly in the settings my power light stopped flashing
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Apparently no one read my post about WM6's broken WiFi in the WM5 A03 thread...*sigh*

Yes, I have tried many times to reset the wifi by soft-resets. However, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I posted about the problem yesterday in the WM5 A03 thread so that MagLite would see it before putting out the WM6 release, but that didn't happen.

If you run into this problem again, give us (especially for MagLite's sake) more detailed info. For instance, is it flashing quickly or slowly? What color is it flashing? Is it consistent?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
Sorry dude I misunderstood. I thought that it was just wpa that was messed up. And as for the blinking light, it was blinking in sync with the wifi light. well Sorry I cant be more specific but I think it stopped when I clicked on the usb to pc icon. As for speed,still pretty good with a couple apps. ive got 2 media players, aim, an app to turn off my screen, and 2 bluetoothing apps. also put on the fs keyboard, at first it takes awhile to launch but then works fair. power light was flashing green
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blazingwolf:
WiFi is working just fine for me. I am not using WPA-PSK though.

That's great, I just bought an x50v yesterday, can't wait for it to get here!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satnile:
Mine is still lightening fast compared to when it was running under dell's WM5 A02, I am using the following softwares now:

TTN6

Resco explorer 2007

Real one player

KRally

Atomic Cannon

Vidya task manager

SPB pocket plus

All of them running really smoothly.

I managed to connect wirelessly only once using WPA-PSK after the first hard reset, but it stopped working after installing the other softwares. Hope this can be fixed.

Overall still very impressed by the performance of this rom, a real reincarnation of my X50v.

thanks

Can you all recommend a good program(either free or not) that can give me a way of turning off the axim the right way(besides just turning off the axim with the power button) cause I had issues in the past with WM5 where even when I would turn off the axim when I would turn it on in the morning the battery woudl almost be dead so I dont want to happen with this
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
well however said, it still saved a person from messing his unit up, so it did some good. i would venture to say 20 pages of this forum could be lopped together of all the mess ups. quite annoying bc most all could have been avoided and they are all about the same thing. a good 20 pages.

Trusted Certificates?

I have a dell x50 and I was wondering.... JUST KIDDING

I have WM6 on my x50v with the SD Loader A01 (WM 5 A01 to WM6) on it. I tried to install an old copy of Dell GPS onto it. I get the error messag "The File DellNav VGA cannot be opended. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componets cannot be found". I have reinstalled it several times but get the same error message everytime I try to run it.

I know I ran across some discussion around trusted certificates, but I cannot seem to find it again. Can someone please tell me at least what page this discussion was on and or if the issues had been resolved?

I will switch to WM 5 A02 ASAP, but I don't think this will solve the problem. Please don't flame me. I swear I have read this forum at least 4 times.

UPDATE: I uninstalled the software from the PC and PPC and reinstalled on both. This worked, but now I still have the old Axim cannot partner with the Dell GPS issue. I will try to use the WIDCOM Stack.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wovens:
Hi all,

Happily updated my Axim to WM6-A02 and installed loads of programs in my newly partitioned memory.

The thing I am very happy about is not to have to worry about running to charge the unit as soon as battery starts to run out, because from what I understand the memory is now non-volatile.

But that came at a price. I feel my games are slower to respond to touch on screen (they were also slower under WM5); software installation takes longer and sometimes forever; sometimes the unit stops responding and I need to manually close some applications to get it responsive again.

Please remind me where do I go in WM6 to set the “close” button to actually close application? It apparently works on other pdas from other brands under WM5/6. I thought the “closing thing” was one of the features of WM5/6.

Also came across an error message, possibly due to one of the applications I’ve installed not working properly in the Axim, but I don’t know which! The error message (really unhelpful of the OS) is:

Error: UnregisteredClass() and an OK button

There is nothing else to do but to click the OK button. It does not say where, when, how or what for! I guess it is due to a Today Plug-in but not sure. Will uninstall all plug-ins and see if the message goes away.

Will try to re-install TomTom this weekend. May need to register the unit on TomTom website again as a “new” unit if the old code does not work after the firmware update.

Otherwise, a very happy bunny!

At the moment the only issue I found is a certificate not matching warning browsing SSL sites.

The x button still doesn't close programs in WM6. You need a 3rd party program to do this with.
