Hi,
When performing downgrade from 2005 -> 2003se, I followed onscreen messages, but Axim is black/dead/ dunno what to do to "make him alive again" !?!?!
I searched a bit forums and found out that:
In a few seconds, you'll be prompted to do a hard reset by pressing the power and reset buttons simultaneously. Ignore this message. What you want to do is hit the power, wireless, and reset buttons again.
(http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/08/17/how-to-downgrade-a-dell-axim-x50v-the-hard-way/)
BUT I did power/reset...
Is it possible to fix it not sending it so service?
I still have warranty by Dell, but I am not sure if they will cover that...
I used the following images for downgrade:
WM2003SE_A05_EN_X50v
with this filenames:
WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0
WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN_nb0.crc
WM50_K_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0
WM50_K_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN_nb0.crc
Current version running on Dell was AximX50v_WM5_A01_EN.
Thanks for any help and suggestions...
Regards
fixed it
It's working now...
After taking battery out, inserting it back... putting boot/image on sd card...
This is crucial: combination and timing
1. wifi+power button (pressed - hold them) + reset (quick press/release), in meantime hold wifi+power buttons and release them when loader menu shows!, (WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0)
2. !!!VERY IMPORTANT STEP!!!
A) device tells you to hard reset device (power + reset), DON'T do that!!!
what you need to do here is wifi+power, then quickly press reset button (less than a second) in the meantime button you need to hold buttons (wifi+power) until boot menu appears
3. choose this WM50_K_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0, confirm it 2 times and wait for round 15min!
4. the result is: alive DELL with 2003se os, test this, 100% success guaranteed!!!

HI,
I had WM6 working on my Qtek 9090.. suddenly it hangs and I did a softreset (at first).. now it hangs at the startupscreen of WM6.. Hard reset doesn't do the job too :S...
damn.. is it dead now?
edit
---------------------
Qtek is running again after I did the following:
1. press on/off button - record button and soft reset button at the same time;
2. hard reset (on/off button and soft reset button at the same time.
and then it will run normally.
edit2
----------------------
problem is back.. when I shut the phone off (software) I can't get it back on... and WM6 will not start again...
It seems that when you want to restart your ppc you have to put out your sdcard. PPC is working again pffff
edit3
-----------------------
and yeah.. again.. after a soft reset after installing some software...
I'm trying to get some life back in the qtek...
.. and it works... I did the following:
1. press on/off button - record button and soft reset button at the same time;
2. hard reset (on/off button and soft reset button at the same time.
3. Put the qtek back in the cradle...
So.. Do not do a soft reset.. it's a pain in the butt...
After trying to upgrade my Dell, it no longer will turn on. Please tell that I really do not have that so called "300 dollar paper weight". Is there anything that can be done.
Ok, I have upgraded the rom on a HImalaya device (NOT an Axim) several times, and with those devices, after you upgrade the rom you need to do a SPECIFIC hard reset.
Pressing the normal power button or other buttons to wake it up doesn't work.
On our device it involves holding down the reset button, camera and record (it will be different on yours).
This takes us to a screen where we need to change three settings (such as cleaning the registry hives) before the device starts up.
You need to figure out what the specific reset combination is for your phone (generally it isn't the same as the hard reset you would usually use ETC on a Himalaya device the normal hard reset is reset plus power, but the reset after bootloader is reset, camera and record).
Hope this helps.
Thank you for you help. I got it working.
would you share how you did this?

I can't hard reset either
I have followed all of the directions on the wiki, I have even tried to install another rom and it still will not remove all of the data, it changed the information in the about section of my settings but that's it. I want to change ROMs but it is not working. any ideas?
What version of windows is on your PC?
also try the enter BL which is on most ROMs
Hard Reset
To hard reset you do a soft reset (power + reset)
and before it shows the version numbers at the bottom you have to press Record + Camera & also power (i think) and then you come to an options screen using the record button to go down the list and camera to select you select Yes for option 2 and 3 and then hit the mail button to apply.

You should install this using the internal method.
Just grab the .nbh file and rename it DIAMIMG.nbh
Put this in your Internal 4GB storage.
Soft reset your device and immediately press the Vol. Down and back button and a grey screen will appear. Vol up to install. After, don't forget to hard reset your phone.
hey you
thanks for your quick answer
but it isn't working if i soft reset the device and press vol down and back (the arrow which is pinting to left) it doesn't open a menu!
do i need a special hard spl? or do i something wrong on the reset?
i just don't get te screen, it's just starting normally
really strange!
thanks in advance

No, a special hard spl is not required. Any one will do. You are probably not doing the procedure quick enough. Try again.
When you soft reset get your hands immediately ready to press both (Vol. Down + Back Arrow Button). HOLD this until you see the grey menu and follow the instructions.
And make sure the DIAMIMG.nbh file is in your Internal Storage (4GB)
On my phone, the vol-down + back-button doesn't work either. It just resets the phone as normal. A vol-down + enter-button does move it to the hard-reset screen though, then an up-arrow finishes the hard reset, but not loading the DIAMIMG.nbh file. Maybe they removed the vol-down + back-button? Or changed it somehow?
Make sure that your internal storage is FAT32, It wont work if it is anything else
When you get to the grey screen, it tells you to Press the power button to update

Doesn't work, and the text is not there either.
I also think it's important to change the name .nbh before you transfer it to your phone, at least it was for me!
Well, I figured out one mystery. For my model version, it's not vol-down + back-arrow to get into the SPL screen on power up. It's vol-down only while powering on the device. Go figure!
Still stuck with no ability to install Hard SPL though

ALL MODELS SHOULD BE THE SAME>>
Basic Info.
(Soft Reset and press Vol. Down) = Get To Bootloader
(Soft Reset and Press Vol. Down + back-arrow) = To Install Radio or ROM form Internal Storage (must have DIAMIMG.nbh in first before flashing)
To confirm that there is no confusion. The "Back arrow" button is the one above the hang up button. NOT left of the middle circle button
So press volume down, Back arrow and then with your third hand, press the reset button with the stylus. Continue to hold the Vol Down and Back Arrow until the image install screen appears. (about 2 seconds)
Sorry guys, no the back-arrow button plus Vol-down does not work. Vol-down alone does. The new phones are different, I'm almost 100% positive they are. The stock SPL was version 1.95 which I've not yet seen here. And, I can't seem to dump any of the ROM (and now can't dump the SPL, BUMMER!, but that's another issue...)
But vol-down + enter + reset does give the clear memory option, with a slightly different wording on the reset screen that what I've read here that it should be.

Well so far your device seems to be the first out of the gate that reacts this way.
