Access files off of cards after power off.

I used to use my X50v when it was running 2003SE as my alarm clock by leaving WMP playing my MP3's and turning it off. When the alarm would sound, the music would start blasting and thus, I wake up! :) Now that I've upgraded to WM6, I don't have that option anymore bc it seems like the link to the file is dropped when I turn it off and the alarm sounds can't wake up anything!!! Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a work around (aside from buying a new alarm clock)? I'm sure it's a power saving feature but I'd like to use it as an alarm again. Any advice?

Another question...has anyone tried the A03 beta yet? What are the updates? Any fixes? Thanks again to all who have contributed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bmazloum:
I was having trouble upgrading my x50v from WM 2003 SE A04 to WM5 A01.

Like others that posted, I kept getting the "no suitable image" error...tried 3 different SD cards, restarted a million times and nothing.

Well, lots of research and I found that I had to change the name of the bootloader from:

WM50_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0 -> DiMA_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0

Same goes with the CRC of course. Anyway, it upgraded the bootloader and then I restarted the with the WIFI+POWER+RESET again and I applied the WM50_K_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0 image.

I dunno if I just lucked out or not...it worked for me and might be the problem that some people are having.

Have you turned the wifi on, while it is on, turn the pda off, and back on again?

This has worked for lots of people including a few times for me.

Need to rename file for 2003se upgrade

I also had the issue where I had to rename the nb0 file and crc file for the 2003se upgrade to WM2005. I am not sure why this isn't in the initial instructions because it doesn't seem to work otherwise.

I am currently upgrading to the WM50K file now...which I am loading after loading the DiMA file

(you have to rename the other WM50B to Dima... see above posts.

I had to use the archive file in this thread as the one in a03 is teh image file and I couldn't figure out how to use that to do the upgrade.

I tried to upgrade from Windows Mobile 2003 SE to WM5 A01 using the provided file in the first post (in hopes of getting WM6 update in order to get SDHC cards to work). I copied the 4 files to my sd card and then I loaded the bootloader menu successfully (getting the white and blue screen). The problem is it does not find any file. Then I get the message: No suitable files found and it says "Update failed. Image update failed." Please try again. The first time was on a 2gb PNY sd card. I tried doing it again on an older 256 mb Sandisk card as well. What am I doing wrong?

I tried search but found nothing about this. I assume somebody must have had this problem.

My current ROM is A05 (07270500) Windows Mobile 2003SE

Version: 4.21.1088 (Build 14260.2.0.5)

When the .rar d/l to my computer should I un-rar and put only the utility folder on the SD card (Fat32)?

Should I put the files within that folder (utility) on the SD card?

Here is the name of the files I copied to my SanDisk 1GB card:

Utility Folder:

I was just wondering if this or any of the other roms for the X50v will work on the X50.

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] UKEZ:
The Image Loader

Okay I've worked it out....

Try it this way first.."turn on your device"

1)Hold down the WIFI and power button only, both at the same time.

2)Then without letting go of the wifi and power button, push the reset button just once.

If this fails do the exact same thing over again, but this time start with the device off.

Good Luck!

Info

Hi guys,

my question is: I have a X50v with WM2003 SE (Italian ROM). Can I update my ppc with the WM5 ROMs (EN ROMs, following the links posted in the forum...) and then can I proceed with the WM6 update???

Thanks :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dar02:
Yes, you can. The ROM language is not making any difference.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e.disanto:
So why system is showing a message that says something like "no valid images on the SD card was found..."

I've copied on the SD the images downloaded from the link posted here, in this topic, the SD is formatted FAT32 (if I format it FAT, the ppc tells that only FAT32 SD are allowed for boot...), no subfolders, but I'm not able to start the update process... :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e.disanto:
Issue solved !!!

Hi guys,

issue is solve!!!! the problem was the name of the files... I mean, the files WM50_B_etc... must be renamed DiMa_B_etc... to update the bootloader first; then u can proceed with the other update...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CamasAximX50v:
Can you post the exact file names and extensions needed?

I would really like to upgrade my x50v. Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] e.disanto:
Sorry for my English ;)

If u have WM2003SE, you must update the bootloader (before to update to WM5). So, the 4 files you download (following the link in the page n. 1 of this topic) are something like:

- 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

The first step is to update the bootloader, so you must rename the first two files (the _B_ files) in DiMa_B_ etc., so you'll have these 4 files:

- DiMa_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0

- DiMa_B_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG_nb0.crc

- WM50_K_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG.nb0

- WM50_K_A01_X50v_WM5_ENG_nb0.crc

Hard Reset (Power + WiFi + Reset) and the x50v will update the bootloader.

The second step is to update the OS, so you must to do another hard reset (Power + WiFi + Reset) and the system will show u the WM5 image to update...

After that, u can go ahead following the topic's instructions...

Anyone have any suggestions on performing a hard bit write to the boot loader section of ROM? My Axim is three years old and is due for replacement anyway, but if I can get WM6 on there, I'll keep it for another year or two before purchasing a new PDA. However, at this point, I'll likely need someone with some specialized equipment and knowledge to get the boot loader recovered so that I can even get to loading the WM6 ROM that is found on this forum.

Suggestions? Help? please.

Same for me!!!, I own a X50v, after a succesfully bootloader update, a message appeared asking for another hard reset, i also didt, but the unit turned off. I have already tried pressing the bottoms but my unit still bricked!!!

Please Help!!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kengsim:
Mine was initially 'bricked' too. But there was a post somewhere here, which basically teaches you to get into the Axim's Diagnostic Mode. Press RECORD + POWER + RESET and it should come back to life. Well, mine did. I'm running WM6 A02 now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nswenson:
YES!!!!!!!! IT WORKED!!!! I found the post that you're speaking of here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1587368&highlight=diagnostic+mode#post1587368

The key is to plug in the device to the wall and then do the POWER + CONTROL + RESET . Once the screen comes up, press the EMAIL button to start the testing. While the test is running, push POWER + WIRELESS + RESET to enter the boot loader. Now you can select the ROM on the SD card and continue flashing.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nswenson:
According to the instructions you can flash to WM6_A02_RC2 directly from WM5_A02 or WM6_A01.

After flashing the main ROM (not the bootloader) you can do the hard reset (power)+(reset) which will restart the device and load the OS.

Dell GPS Receiver and Tom Tom

Hi everybody, yesterday I've recently update my Aximx50v from Wm03 to Wm06 a02.

I have some questions about this new version:

1. is it possible to continue working with my Dell GPS receiver? My axim finds the GPS but it can not connect.

2. have you tested Tom tom 6 (or a lower version) with this wm06?

3. is it normal that when I am connected using wifi, (WPA) after 20 minutes connections goes down? It did not happen when I use Wm03. I tried to turn off and then on (with wifi on) and then it reconnects but it does not seem normal. Is not it?

For the rest, by the moment I have not find any other problem.

warm Regards from Italy,

Once the diagnostic test is running you should be able to enter the boot loader with POWER+WIRELESS+RESET. The key is to quickly tap the RESET (don't hold it in) and continue holding the POWER+WIRELESS keys until the boot loader shows.

and how does wm6 know what data to put on the persistent storage or in the rom and if my axim gets completely drained again... will my pim data and other files get wiped out....

is there a way to access the persistent storage or where its located...

Newbie with success

Hello all!

I just got a new Dell Axim X50V, which had Mobile 5 on it. I'd like to have the latest version, so I searched and found this site.

I did not read all the posts about the update MagLite_RUS posted, but most of them.

So I formatted my SD card in FAT32, downloaded the update, did a reset, installed the software, and did another hard reset.

This all happened a few hours ago. I am using my device mainly on it's on, connected to wireless all the time. So far, it works great! I installed all the software I had on it before, and it certainly runs faster, so far.

I have not experienced any problems so far, but am aware that there could be another bug hidden some place.

MagLite_RUS, you make sure to post your contact so I can make a contribution. Not only supplied you the upgrade to Mobile 6, you also cracked it and helped improving it.

BUT OMG... I love the WM6 on both devices and I'm screaming happy about it...

soooo... any way that I can get the touchflo interface on my x50v (it's my multimedia device with an 8GB SDHC and a 16GB CF card (woot))????
