I'm still trying this one myself. My time has been a lil low lately for doing so tho. But, I don't give up easy. And I will figure out what needs to be done to it to get this working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
I was able to get the xip (injection) to work, but it seems that Maglite's rom doesn't have default.hv (or default.rgu) and user.hv (and user.hv) (the only thing that shows up in the Metadata folder is DefaultCerts.dat and I do have the "show hidden files/folders" option enabled). Lenny, if I'm wrong can you share those files with me from Maglite's base rom?

Dell Axim Not Turn on

Hi

Please Help Me.

after upgrading my dell axim x50 with WM50_K_A01_X50_WM5_EN.nb0 it is not turn on again. And screen is black.

my previous os is Dell Axim X50 WM2003 SE V05.

How can i return back to WM 2003 SE.

upgrade with SC Card is not working.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robmayer1:
I may be very wrong, but I believe the ROMs in nb0 format ONLY contain the OS image and that's it... no bootloader. With that being said, I know for a fact that in order to successfully upgrade from WM2003 to WM5, you must also upgrade the bootloader. Meaning, if you want to go from WM2003 to WM5 A01, you must upgrade using your PC via a USB cable.

Basically, what you did was upgrade the ROM of your device without the proper bootloader to boot it. The only thing I can think of is if you could get it to somehow connect to your PC via USB and re-upgrade that way.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robmayer1:
Thank you so much... I really appreciate your efforts and hard work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Did you use the WM5 A01 nb0 file from my flashing thread? The bootloader has to be flashed first before you flash that file. Either way, please see my flashing sticky on aximsite to restore your axim.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pinoymutt:
I second that and look forward to seeing what goodness comes from your efforts!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Night_1:
Was wondering where or if i can get a bootloader for WM5 A02 from somewhere??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
WM6 rom is almost ready for beta testing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Yes, look on aximsite in the X50/X51 section under one of the flashing stickies.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robmayer1:
Are you frickin' serious!? I thought this would never come... thank you so much Steven855, I look forward to your release and I really appreciate all of your hard work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Yes, I am serious. Robmayer1, would you be so kind as to help me test the alpha? If yes, I have you, torg24, and bobalong scheduled to test the alpha to see whether it boots or not. More help will be needed later. While you're at it, can you give me you WLM id so I can add you to my list of people to instant message.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robmayer1:
I would be more than happy to test the Alpha... my WLM is rob.mayer@mayercomputersolutions.com. When do you think it will be ready to test?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] disaloud:
looker

hey I have been on this page pretty much every day eagerly awaiting this. if you need another beta/alpha tester count me in. PLEASE! ;-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
ok; by the way, you spelled "alpha" wrong
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pinoymutt:
I'm game for testing and providing feedback whenever a build is available as well!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] disaloud:
;-)

ok well you can count on me for testing.... if you need something spell checked.... count me out :D if you can use me my MSN is whonine@hotmail.com I have the Low X51 as well and couple of computers with different OSs on them (if you are expecting any issues with the 6.1 causing issues with Vista/XP etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pinoymutt:
Just a quick question -- is the new ROM WM 6.0 or 6.1 based? Not that it matters, just curious (either is a huge upgrade over WM5 IMO).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
starting out with WM6 and moving upward
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pinoymutt:
Nice. Looking forward to it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] conket:

Wenn U need a tester ..mail to marcoryn@versatel(dot)nl Perhaps I can help a little
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pinoymutt:
I'd be happy to provide my email via PM as well if you need testers -- I've just cleaned out my garage and found a bunch of old HTC phones that I've been upgrading with cooked ROMS to 6.0 and 6.1 so I'm definitely in the spirit! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Can I have one (about how old are these HTC phones)? Also, who thinks I should set up a donation link (even though I will be releasing my work in the spirit of open source)? I don't want to rip people off and make them feel like I want their money.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] damikey:
Amazing thread! I have an X50 with A01 Rom. I've noticed several people stating their device is either (X50 mid) or (X50 low). What's mine?

Aslo, I'm confused with how to flash the file. I've placed the fil download into a SD card with fat32. But there seem something missing like a bootloader file. am I right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
If you think this thread is great, have you seen my X50 series flashing sticky over at aximsite? When you say A01 rom, do you mean the WM2003 SE A01 rom or the WM5 A01 rom? If your axim has a max processor speed of 416mHz and only has bluetooth, you have a X50(low). If your axim has a max processor speed of 520mHz and has both bluetooth and wi-fi, you have a X50(mid). If you have a X50(low), this rom is not for you I will take care of you once I get the first stable build of the X50(mid) rom out and someone is gracious enough to give me a rom dump of the X50 low WM5 A02 rom). In case you do have a X50(mid), to flash the base rom (it's just dell's WM5 A02 rom in nb0 format) that Maglite provided, you have to upgrade to Dell's WM5 A02 rom via usb.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] damikey:
Thanks for the awesome answer! Very precise and to the point. I have the mid. Let's get playing for this device
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
I'm looking at using a new WM6 SYS from a different rom, so I will be doing more testing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] brat1475:
I am also standing by if you need a tester. I have an X50 mid. After using WM 6.1 for so long, playing with WM5 feels chunky, LOL. I will pm you my email address.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jck_w:
I have both x50 and x51(mid). I would love to test these upcoming ROMs. Thanks for all the time/effort.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xd1936:
+1, my X51 is available for testing
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:

Hello

I'm new here.

I have an Axim X50 (Prozessor Speed: 416Mhz; with Bluetooth and wifi) with an English Win2003 A05 ROM installed.

Can someone give me a step by step introduction for installing WM6.1?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Anyone with rom experience (on any axim) is welcome to contact me also.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Right now, the highest rom you can go up to for the X50(low) is WM5 A02.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RobertAG:
And where can I get this? I found only a WM5 ROM wich stop loading after about 80%.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Which WM5 rom is that?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RobertAG:
It was a ROM for a X50(mid) from your Thread at Aximsite:

http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/...-x50-after-you-bricked-premade-nb0-files.html

The X50(low) WM5 A01 rom: at the bottom of your post doesn't works

Only the AximX50_WM2k3_A05_EN.rar works fine
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] derTom_Germany:
Question before testing

Hi Folks,

first of all: You do a great job.

I own a Axim X50 Mid with german WM2003 A02 Rom.

In the past I skipped the official Dell update to WM5 because I use the pda for navigation (TomTom and Navigon).

In other forums I read that after the update the CF-Slot can't be used with my Haicom Hi-303 MMF GPS receiver any more.

I think, no more driver integrated is integrated and only mass storage devices can be used. :(

Now my question:

Is this still a problem?

If not, you've got one more tester :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
I have no experience with a gps and axim, but I'm sure that someone else could answer this better than I can. Anyway, dell came out with a rom update for WM5 (A02), so you could try that (if you need the upgrade cd, pm me for a link to the cd). On a side note, may I ask why you are not running the latest WM2003SE rom (should be A05)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Would anyone be willing to sell me a X50(mid) that they don't use or want anymore for a really cheap price (since I need a new one for rom building, mine broke)? (I will also check ebay for a good deal too.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrozema:
What do you consider to be really cheap?

Mine is quite mint and I am trying to sell it...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] derTom_Germany:
The latest german rom for WM2003 is the A05. I don't know the differences between the A05 and A02. I read something about a new SSL certificate and a better WEP stack. Things i don't need.

I downloaded the downgrade package from Dell so I will try the official update and then yours...

so you've got pm ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] down8:
I am down for testing, still. I am scared to upgrade my Hermes until I do my old Axim. :D

I rarely use WLM, but down8@hotmail is it (if you mg me, mention XDA, or you may be lost in the spam) - down8@yahoo is my e-mail though.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] down8:

I man'ed up an did my Hermes, so I am ready to do some beta'ing on the Axim....

WM6 on the X50 !!!!

Click here to download the WM6 ROM for the X50. Just built it and uploaded it! Not tested for all bugs since I'm not stopping till I get WM6.1 or WM6.5 on it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] down8:
I will igve it a try soon!

-bZj
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lennysh:
Bout time I got some response. lol... :D Was starting to think everybody had traded in their X50's.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheHotOven:
Lenny, i dont wanna be a terrible first question on the other site, so i'll ask here.

I assume it requires bootloader A03 correct? I would be coming from wm2003se A05. is it possible to do without going through wm5 A01 etc first?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lennysh:
It needs bootloader A02. So it's very important that you flash to A01, then A02 before flashing to my A03.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] derTom_Germany:
I don't get any further with my german WM2003SE A02.

I made a mistake in my previous post: The last german ROM is A02 and not A05.

Yesterday evening I tried to flash my Axim with the help of this thread: http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/...-x50-after-you-bricked-premade-nb0-files.html

I know, my Axim is not bricked, but I thought it is the easiest way.

At first I wanted to update to the english WM2003 A05 ROM because the official update from Dell does not work "Wrong language" :mad:

But the SD Card loader does not start. I've only got the hard reset screen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andy*1:
well i would love to test this but the problem i have is that i tried the wm6.1 update for the x50v and semi bricked my x50 but managed to sort but have had to take it back to 2003 and cant seem to get back up to 2005 when i try and install 2005 it says wrong language for this device any help would be great
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lennysh:
It also appears I now have WM6 on the X51 as well. Look here if you want to track the status of WM6 on the X51.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frenchsedai:
Awesome

You are a godsend lenny, I've been watching this thread for about 6 months waiting on WM6 for my X50
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andy*1:
sorted this now and running wm5 AO1 but how do I get to AO2 or can i update using AO1
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Darklust:
lenny, just for the sake of me not doing something very idiotic to my axim, when i do upgrade to your rom, how would i go about downgrading to A02 again?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Darklust:
ahhh alright all went well flashing, couple of bugs however:

no compact flash card detection

no button tap noises (not rly important :P)

pros:

fast as hellll

office mobile 2007 (yay ^.^)

basically wm6 classic :D

thanks lenny, look forward to official release (but i really would like to downgrade, just cuz alot of important stuff is on my compact flash card :p)

edit: was able to downgrade using Steven855's roms from http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/...ed-premade-nb0-files.html?highlight=steven855
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] down8:
Just flashed to WM6. No issues so far. The Aximsite Wireless Mgr installed, along with Google Maps, Spb Mob.Shell, an other stuff, with no issues.

Thanks, Lenny!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RodneyMcKay:
LennySh,

I updated on of the unused X50s I have a work yesterday, and I've been having a few issues that I wanted to pass along.

1. Battery charge level isn't redetected after swapping dead battery for full battery.

2. Connection info bubble from top of screen is empty when connected to wifi.

3. When trying to connect to detected Wifi, the popup asking work or internet looks like it has 4 or 5 radio buttons, and they all seem to be clickable, not all unselect, and I'm not sure which one is the proper one for the option I want.

4. I'm also having some trouble connecting to different WIFI networks. I don't know if this is a problem with the build or this device though, it's been on a shelf for longer than I've been in the department.

I'm going to also be trying out the X51 build as I want to use these in the tech department so we have some level of familiarity with the new WM6 phones that administration is getting.

Rodney
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] down8:
I had the same weird popup panel when connecting to my WiFi, too. I went to the Today Screen, then hit the Notification link, and it came up properly.

And, I also have the empty bubble after connected.

EDIT:

"Skyfire cannot be opened - not signed or component can't be found."

It seems Ir doesn't work either.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lennysh:

WM6.1 located here for the X50. Please test.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Darklust:
seems the blank notification bug is gone

CF support is still bugged

again, great effort lenny :D 6.1 on the x50(mid), thought it would never happen ;)

edit: infrared does not seem to work, and transcriber (input method) is not apparent
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheHotOven:
I've been using this all day now and i cant seem to find any problems with it.

Good work so far lenny
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] brat1475:
Lenny, outstanding ROM. I installed it last night, everything works well. The only issue I see is writing to the SD card. I have tried copying files to it via Activesync, via Card Export II, and tried installing apps onto the SD card, it get's about 3/4 of the way through and hangs. The device doesn't freeze, just the install or the file copy. I am relatively sure it is not the SD card, I formatted it to Fat32, and everything copies well onto the card from my card reader. ANybody else have the same problem? Again outstanding work Lenny. Thank you all for getting me excited about my old Dell again. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobalong:
Good Start, Needs some work

Lenny,

Installed this today. Most everything runs great! Much faster on the X50 than WM5 every was and more capabilities than WM2003. Bluetooth works fine, WiFi seems to act a little fussy. I also get a funny screen at the end of a WiFi network setup where there is usually an option for using 802.11 smartcard authentication. It is greyed out but seems to be checked as well. As others have stated, no CF detection although no problems with SD card. I have successfully run Garmin Mobile XT from the SD card and with a bluetooth GPS reciever hooked up. The manage GPS automatically finally works!

Great job Lenny!

Please keep up the work of developing this rom for my beloved X50.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
I think I figured out why infrared and cf cards don't work with this rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] down8:
Do tell....

I can' get the damn bootloader to start (wifi+power+reset), so I am stuck on WM6.

-bZj
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Darklust:
you can hit reset a few times while holding them

but make sure you hold the power and wireless and TAP reset, continue to hold the two until the bootloader shows up

there is nothing wrong with lenny's rom that would cause it told erase the SD update
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] brat1475:
I tried another formatted SD card, and it seems to work better. With my old SD card, when I tried to install Opera Mobile 9.5 beta 2, the installer would freeze 3/4th of the way through, and stayed that way for a 20 hour period before I gave up. With the new card, Opera installed in 10 minutes. Thanks again for the great ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
It's something Lenny overlooked or forgot about. However, I can tell you that you can't fix it unless you modify the rom (at least I don't think you can).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] down8:
Any updates?

I still can't get my damn bootloader to go.

WiFi + Power, then Reset w/stylus.... I get the "Restore Factory Settings" screen every damn time.

-bZj
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheHotOven:
OH, try "double tapping" the stylus.

that happened to me to at first, and i didnt know what was wrong. So grab it funny and:

first hold down the power button, then hold down the wireless button.

then tap the stylus in. if nothing happens hold it. if the factory screen comes up then double tap the stylus. if that doesnt work try again and hold the button down at the end of the double tap.

i bet the simple double tap will work for you though, im just giving you some options depending on your interpretation
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Darklust:
I've created a few vidz to show how to upgrade and downgrade to lenny's ROM,

Upgrade - Part 1

Part 2

Downgrade - Part 1

Part 2

hope they help some of you guys out X.X

Hi, this is an emergency!!!

Upon testing this fantastic rom release, which up until now seemed to be operating almost faultlessley, I decided to try adding SDHC support. However, like a bit of a numpty, I forgot to back up the registry files that were changed. The problem I now have is that my SD card is not visible at all. So this means that I cant even reflash the rom using the SD image boot loader. The files I changed are sdbus.dll & sdmemory.dll. If someone could post the originals of these files, I would be most grateful. Unless of course someone has another suggestion of how I can extract these dll's from the original WM6.1 nb0 image file.

Thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lennysh:
lol... this is funny...

Just delete the files. The original files will be brought back after you delete the ones on top of it. Then just soft reset...

Hello Guys ;

I have an AXIM x50, 416MHz CPU, ROM 64MB, RAM 64MB, ROM Version A02 i need to upgrage to WM5, what should i do and where can i get the SD image for the OS,

Please help am stuck,

Snakah
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Check on aximsite for the WM5 upgrade cd. However, you must be upgraded to the latest WM2003 SE rom (which is A05) before you upgrade. Also, after the first time the upgrade program tells you to do a hard reset, put it back in the cradle, cancel the activsync prompt and continue with the upgrade program. This is because the upgrade program transfers the WM5 bootloader first and then the WM5 os.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JoeyBeattie:

1. RapidShare is down. Could somebody update the links?

2. I can't find the WM5 upgrade anywhere. Where would that be found?
