Thundermonk, the university I attend has a similar setup. It uses open authentication with WEP encryption and the WEP key is provided automatically. Authentication is via the PEAP protocol. However, my university has made a certificate available for authentication and I have successfully installed the certificate and connected with the network.

That being said, is there any chance the certificate you have is invalid in some way? Perhaps expired or something of that sort?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thundermonk:
Cavyman, thanks for your reply.

I am using the same certificate on my laptop using similar settings and it works. That is why I first suspected WM6... The fact that it works at your site makes me wonder if it is in the way the certificate is generated. For this thread record, could you tell me if the certificate issued by your university is issued as a "Personal" certificate (one that bear your name, and used only by you, or a Root one ?

I must currently use a root certificate for PEAP auth, so I wonder if that could be the root of my problem (sorry, bad word game).

Anyway, thanks for your answer. This is really not mission critical, but it would be good to be able to make this work at some point. I will continue to play with this in my free time and will share the results if I find something new.

Help!

My x50v says "unable to load SD image" (step 2) - I unrar'ed the files into a sd card,I do see the blue bar saying "a01..." when I press power+wifi+reset. What I am glaringly doing wrong?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Thundermonk, the certificate I have installed is a Root certificate. It actually was built for PDA installation for those who use PDAs around the campus. I'm not sure how certificates are built -- perhaps the one I have was specifically for a PDA. At any rate, is there any way you can check with your IT department and see if someone knows how the certificate was built (and more specifically, if it can be used with WM6)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thundermonk:
Cavyman,

I will surely check with my IT departement and go on reading on the many ways a PEAP certificate can be created ;). I suspect that the IT answer will be something like : "I am sorry, this is not on the list of software we currently support..." type of answer. This is understandable, yet sometime a bit frustrating ;)

Thanks for your answers. The fact that it works for you means that I will make it work (eventually).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
You're probably right about the answer you'd get from your IT dept. I'm on the IT staff where I work and unfortunately, that is just the only answer you can give at times. :( Kind of a "cop out", I know, but it's hard to make everyone happy all the time. :p

I do have hope for your getting it to work eventually! If it would help in any way, I could send you the certificate I use on my PDA. Just let me know. I wish you luck!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

You did make sure they were in the root directory and not in any folder on the card?

This is what I would check and if you have them set up this way, then I recommend just trying the process again.

Why not try ramdisk to decrease Filesys problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
What Filesys problem? I thought that most people had noticed that Filesys was remarkably better. :confused: Sure, it's not as great as if there was no Filesys compaction needed, but we'll probably never be quite that lucky. :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

I had a bit of an issue earlier today.

One of my programs installed itself to the ram and the filesys hit hard.

Moved the program to the SD card and created a shortcut to the ram and all is good.

Few quirks to work with, being a new version and all but I am enjoying this lots more than 2003SE
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hometownnerd:
It isn't hard to be happy with an OS when you compare it to how bad WM5 was from Dell and then how bad the support was. I have been sooo happy with WM6 that I have never thought of going back to WM5 at all. I couldn't say that about WM5, I went back and forth between WM5 and 2003SE quite a few times:mad: . I am hoping this A03 is stable, since it is a beta I start to be a little concerned.

Well thanks for you input, now I just need to find the time to upgrade it again and then reinstall all of my apps.:rolleyes:

activesync not working

hi, I am new to this PDA rom updating thing. I tried updating my x50v yesterday and was able to get the A01 WM5 ROM on (after my x50v also behaved oddly by not turning on for several hours after updating the bootloader, as reported by several people in previous posts).

Today, I am trying to update to the official dell A02 WM5 Rom, but i can't seem to be able to connect my device to the computer anymore. The activesync program won't connect my computer (Windows XP) to my x50v anymore! When I put the x50v onto the cradle, the computer senses it and active sync begins to try to connect, but it never connects and after a while, the computer just says the connection fails. I get a message saying that Activesync could not connect to my windows mobile device.

In WM2003SE, when I put my x50v onto the cradle, activesync tries to connect, then a popup shows up on the PDA asking if i want to connect. However, this no longer happens...nothing shows up on my PDA. However, I notice that the ActiveSync program does turn on in my PDA because it shows up on the switcher bar after i dock my PDA to the cradle.

I've tried soft and hard resetting, uninstalling and reinstalling active sync (version 4.5) but nothing seems to work to get activesync connect my computer to PDA.

EDIT: got it to work by deleting all my firewalls, turning off spam filter, deleting activesync, removing all it's registry entries, and installing an older version of activesync (4.1)

Anyone know if this rom supports SDHC? I tried an 8 gig card and it worked for a day then froze up and wouldn't recognize it. Not sure if the card crapped out or if it didn't support the card.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] icognitoman:
http://search.dell.com/results.aspx...ra=False&~srd=False&ipsys=False&advsrch=False

You can browse this section on Dell's website and pick the release that suits you best. 2003SE A05 was (to my knowledge) the latest 2003 release for the x50v.

Good luck
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satani:
well, as i read in previous posts, sdhc card are now supported on the x50v with wm6. (i saw here a screenshot of someone using a 16 gb-sdhc-card) and i'm also using a 8GB-SDHC-Card without any problems.

so either ou destroyed your card, or you have an error on your device. which version (A0X) are you using. i'm using A02.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxpower097:
A03. I really think the card crapped out because a hard reset didn't fix it, and the normal SD works still.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Reiko:
Any help ???

Is it true that no updates will come out? Did Maglite have any Milestone to public the next update?? Or did he gave up??

Is A03 Beta the last one??

PS: I have a Real VGA Dell x50v with 624. And nothing rocks. Slow as a donkey in the desert. Another PDAs with less MHz can more. Why?? :eek: :confused:

Dell has abandoned us ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxpower097:
I would assume more memory. That typically would speed things up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

Maglite moved onto another pda.

The great work he provided us was done for his own benefit first and a generous spirit compelled him to share it with us.

The current rom is the last unless there is another person out there to pick up the project.

Dell did not abandon anyone, they simply moved away from a product that was not profitable any longer.

I do not remember dell saying they were going to provide a WM6 rom for us.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxpower097:
Actually I dell said they would continue to support the AXIM line for 3 more years. I assume meaning parts, and warranty repair.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tanker Bob:
What are the downsides of doing this upgrade (A03 beta1) from WM2003SE? I'd like to do this, but my device is mission critical. I can't afford for it to lose reliability nor to be hard reset on any regular basis. Thank you all for any help you can provide.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxpower097:
Depends I guess. The only time I've had to do a hard reset it usually from software that don't run on WM6. I've noticed it is a touch slower then WM2003, but you gain so much more functionality. If lives were on the line probaly stick to WM2003. If you can afford a hard reset every 3-4 days switch. You can always go back..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IM0001:
Definitly a lot has been done for the X50v that many have said Couldnt be done. Its no supprise that finally its slowed down again.

Hell I would not be supprised if WM7 gets ported onto the X50v mainly because it will be the only old device that has the power to possible run the software minus the multitouch screen, the motion detection, and camera detection.

Other than that if the software uses D3D for all the effects its going to have to compete against the iPhone effects, the Axim is still fully up to the task with a good onboard graphics chip that still has some grunt left in it.

Only time will tell now, but I do continue to enjoy WM6 on my Axim to this day.

OK i know i said this before but i have to say this again Thanks Maglite.

Now for the noobs that just found out about this project i advice you to use the A02 WM6 ROM its the only one that seem to be more stable. read the first post to learn how to update.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jozef Mak:
I am using Dell Axim X50v with Windows Mobile 6 Classic A03 Beta 1 ROM couple months. Suddenly, it did not reboot after soft reset. It got stuck after some time. I tried hard reset, no change.

Thanks in advance.

Bug Report

BUG REPORT:

Te following symptome occures if you try to switch off your x50v with a running TomTom 6 Navigation and an established BT Connection to a gps device:

- Display is shutting down (like it should)

- The BT LED doesn't stop blinking

- You can't switch on the pda without perfoming a soft reset

But beside that this is an awesome release - I like the performance, exspecially in comparioson with the last WM2005 releases, thanks a lot!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cwzkevin:
Thank you so much for your contribution on the WM6 Rom. I finally flash to 3_beta from WM5_A12. Everything is faster than WM5 right away. Do the filesys patch according the new pid. Install back all programs as in WM5. It is slowing down, but still faster than that was in WM5. I am so glad that I spent the past couple hours on upgradating.

I have one question, hope somebody can give me some answers. In WM5, I did some registry tweak, activesyn fake server and filesys patch to avoid CPU usage. Right now, in WM6, I only did filesys patch. Is this enough? Do I still need registry tweak? Do I still need activesyn fake server? Thank you!

My Experience with WM6 A03

All,

I ran WM2003SE A05 on my x50v till I came across this thread yesterday.

I then upgraded to WM5 A01 then A02.

Then to WM6 A01 then to A03.

I have barely used it for a day.

These are my observations so far.

Battery.

Is definitely getting drained.

It is very visible and since I have the basic battery that the x50v came with I might have some problems.

Switcher Bar.

I could not find the switcher bar.

I am used to closing my apps using the switcher bar and I can't do that now.

I use the memory app to do the same but it is inconvenient.

I cannot program a button to start the memory app.

Media player.

I can't set up a button to do full screen.

There is just toggle that turns the screen on and off.

Full screen shows up in portrait it does not go to landscape automatically.

I am not able to go to landscape manually as well.

Wireless button.

The button turns both bluetooth and WiFi on.

With 2003 i could just turn 1 of them on. Another reason the battery drains.

I searched the thread for some of this but got no results.

I have not read all 60 pages of the thread.

My question.

I wanted WM6 so I could use 8GB maybe even 16GB SDHC card.

For those you have used the previous versions WM6 A02/A01.

Do you find any of the above issues?

Do you think I should downgrade to A02? If so how should I do it?

Will keep you posted on my progress.

Thank You

Where can I find this "filesys patch" ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tkutay:
This is also the only reason I am considering upgrading from WM2003SE to WM6. I have been searching for a patch for WM2003SE, but it looks like it is not possible. I have been looking at the forums here lately, but it looks like the problems with WM6 may not be worth it. With 16GB cards down to $65, SDHC support will make x50v an excellent media player. I would really appreciate your follow up posts on your experience.

For the guy with all the problems that just switched from WM2003 > WM6. It really sounds like 90% of your problems are stemming from being a WM6 noob.

A03 beta vs A02 RTM

Hey there, guys. I haven't been answering on this thread for a while, mainly because i'm pretty happy with my device. After all of that testing that we had done in September, i have been using my device a lot for school projects, mp3 player, etc. And yes i'm still running WM6 A02 RTM with 8MB PP, which is great since i hardly experience any filesys problems unlike the 4MB PP. So, i definately recomend trying that pagepool for people who are still frustrated from filesys attacks. I've been ocassionally visiting the forums, through not very interested anymore in constant testing.

This thread is practically dead now, since i know that Maglite has sold his dell axim and, as far as i know, bought an iphone; football as well has sold his device.

The thing is i didn't do a single hard reset since like October until last week. I have been using pointui for about a week until it suddenly crashed my device. After the hard reset, the restore function didn't work, and so i lost all of my data.:(

The reason why i posted was because i want to know more about the A03 beta. I know my device was working great before, but now with all of my data lost i want to know is it worth trying A03. How stable is A03 compared to A02 RTM, even through its a BETA? The thing is its the same aku, but different build which i find kinda awkward. The problem is that i heard somebody say that Dell GPS Navigation System is screwed up in A03 (look back at some posts) unlike A02 RTM, and use that program a lot! Also i will probably have to change the pagepool of A03 to 8MB as well.

So, Is A03 worth it, if you already have A02 RTM?

(Sorry, for such a long explanation: can you guys answer my questions please?)

(This question is for people who tried both ROMs)

Um, anyone???????

wm6 a03 beta user

hi, i installed a03 and liked it better than a02. filesys still a problem, i have soft reset 2 or 3 times a week. other than that it runs great.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
Thanks for the answer, however, i prefered if it was a little bit more specific. Here is what i'm looking for:

1)The thing is i need somebody to fully confirm if Dell GPS Navigation System really works as good as on A02 RTM. If it doesn't function properly then there is no point for me to even bother going for A03. I don't want to spend time after that downgrading.

2)How buggy is A03 beta when compared to A02 RTM?

3) Would the pagepool changer which was develped for A02 RTM work with A03 beta? (i think it should).

4) Also somebody mentionaed that battery draines very fast in A03? Is it true?

5) Also, just wondering what were registry tweaks that Maglite mentioned in this release? (if you guys don't really know, then i don't really care; I usually adjust them myself.)

Usually, as i did before, i'll test every release without questioning anybody because i know that this will help Maglite to get rid of all the bugs in the final version. However, since Maglite doesn't make any more ROMs, the word "beta" sounds, like he said, he didn't test everything throughly. A02 RTM is the final version, however. So thats why i'm worrying about the bugs.

But the new built 1933 as some people say is more stable than 1908. So, what should i believe?

So, all that i'm looking for is for somebody to answer those 5 questions above.:) (Sorry, i should have been more specific on my questions last time.)

Cannot Pair with BT-388 GPS using WM6_A02_RC2

Hi everyone,

I'm having problems pairing a BT-388 GPS from GlobalSat with my Axim X50v running WM6 A02 RC2. When pairing, it asks for a passcode, and the gps starts flashing fast (indicating a connection to the Axim) after I click "next" without entering the passcode, but not if I enter a passcode. If I do not enter a passcode, then it asks me if I should add the device that it identified BT-GPS-311ECB. After I say "yes" it tells me to enter a passcode again, and regardless of what I enter it tells me that the connection to the device could not be made (the "next" button is not active until the passcode gets entered). The device worked fine with WM2003, and the company wesite has a diagnostic utility for WM6 which tells me that they think the device should work with it.

This thread is great - thank you very much for all the work that everyone has put into it.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

dell gps

hi, i use dell gps and tomtom. i have widcomm stack installed. i had no problems pairing up the dell gps. the passcode i used was 2003. after setting up tomtom. i just turn it on and it located the dell gps fine. as for registry hacks, i have tweaks and sktools, the only tweak i did was activesync. as for battery drain, i dont have that problem. i think it has more to do w/ the programs installed. i leave the dell off the cradle for 2 to 3 days and it works fine. i only problems i have so far is the dell freezing when you turn it on which is caused by filesys. i moved as much as i can to storage cards. i am quite happy using a03. btw the only other issue i have is wifi, i use wep to solve that problem. i hope this helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
thanks for quick answer. Dell GPS works? That's all i wanted to hear. By the registry treaks i meant were the changes that Maglite made to the registry as he listed it along with a new black theme on page 1, but that doesn't matter to me anymore. The Dell Axim also always had a problem with WPA, and with the drivers being so outdated on all Dell Axims, it doesn't support WPA2 at all. Once again thanks.:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
With A03 beta i was surprised to see Windows Vista skin, and it looks awsome. But what happened to the sounds when you press start in the top left corner of the today screen??? There were no sounds in A01, but we got them in A02, but now Maglite again removed them? Is this normal, or is this just something wrong with the ROM on my device? And also, by default, in WM6 should there be sounds when you press "start"? Can somebody answer me?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] theukranian:
Thank you ultraprimeomega!

Thank you very much, four zeros did the trick. The funny thing is that this bit of information was nowhere to be found on the GPS manufacturer's webpage and in the service manuals I downloaded. I got another question: How can I enable/upload Russian keyboard/letter recognition on my Axim? It displays Russian fine, but I can't figure out how to actually write in it...

Thank you!
