DellX50v need help - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hello everyone;
I need urgent help with my Dell Axim x50v. I was trying to upgrate to WM5 A03 ROM and everything went as stated in the original thread but after doing a hard reset i dosent want to come back up. Is there any way it can be fixed. I was using this AXIm as a GPS and now really need to get this back up and running. I am a student and cannot afford to buy a new PDA.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I take it you are using (or have access to) Windows XP? If so, try rolling back to WM2003SE using this Dell utility: http://ftp.us.dell.com/utility/R115117.EXE
You can then stick with WM2003SE or try upgrading again to WM5 A03 (by following the directions from the beginning for upgrading to WM5 A03). For the future, never try flashing your device unless you have a "plan of escape" *BEFORE* you begin flashing incase something goes wrong.

Thanks Cavyman for the quick response. yes i do have XP but my X50v dosent come up at all. The only time the power light comes on is when i place it in the cradle. Otherwise it is brick. not even the power light comes on. the utility i downloaded also continues to say please connect the device.

HP IPAX RW6828 PDA Phone WM5 Update

Hi All
This is my first post. Unfortunately it's for a problem. I have HP IPAX RW6828 and have been use it for a couple of month. I did the new Windows Mobile 5 Upgrade (out 07/11/2006). After the Upgrade was done, it came up with an error. Now the unit switches on but I'm stuck with only HP Screen. There is no WM5 Today screen. nothing happen when i do the soft or hard reset. I can't get the link between the pc and RW6828 via the Microsoft Activesync 4.2.
The HP is saying that I need to return to the service centre. However, I aware overseas on a Business Trip and a lot of my stuff and contacts are in it. I will back in Sydney by 14 December.
Can anyone help me to fix the problem and start my HP RW6828.
PLEASE.
Regards... YKK
You probably need to put your phone in bootloader mode (I've got no idea how to do that on a HP so use the almighty google for that) and try reflashing your rom. If you for some reason can't get it to bootloader mode a service center is your only option...
However, just so you know, when you do a rom upgrade all your contacts etc are deleted. You have to sync it with your desktop in order to get them back. I don't meen to be condecending, it's just that your post sort of indicated that you might belive they're still in there...
rw6828 in bootloader mode
press the power button + left button + right buttion + reset
* left and right buttons are above the Call and End buttons

That condition means you are in bootloader mode.So just disconnect your USB cable then after a few while connect it again. The pc will detect it as a new device. Then run the Update utility again, it will start the updating process. There is no need for ActSyn to run at this stage.
I had experience this before when updating ROM from HP. Hope this will helps.

restoring the ROM on my Ipaq hx2795

I just got an Ipaq hx2795 and I upgraded to WM6, and it worked perfectly!. However, I saw a supposedly upgraded version of WM6 and i tried to install it, and too hastily I think. I did it without first removing my SD and CF cards. the upgrade said it went through ok on the PC, but it froze on the PPC, about halfway. ever since then, I've only been able to bring up the pda in pre-BL mode. Whenever I attempt to re-load any ROM (WM5 or WM6), I get the error message that the language of my current ROM is unknown and hence, the upgrade cannot go through. To further complicate my problem, I was trying to recover it about 3 nights ago and accidentally left the pda on all night in pre-BL mode. Now I think the battery is dead and I do not know how to charge it. Is there any resource or anyone that can help me with this problem? Is there a way to load the rom and Ignore the language setting on the Ipaq? What should I do now? HELP!!
Please let me know ASAP and Thanks!!
No-one replied to my post, but no matter.... I sorted it out and my bricked Ipaq is now fully functional again using WM6!!
Bless
Hi, how did you recovered your IPAQ, I feel I will have to do the same... tks
ipaq 2410 wm6 like a dream is very good
resore my hx2110
hello, can i know how u do that? i face the same problem too. i am using hx2110. i flashed wm6, however, can enter pre BL mode only.
Now i think all the battery are gone and can't enter pre BL mode. i connect it to ac adapter, but can't charge my device.
please help

I would really apreciate some help!
thank you!
A good challenge for the I780 Specialists
I bet that the solution would be very easy
All the best to you
There are quite a number of answers posted. EFN had already explained too many times. He had said that the bootloader works fine, that's a good start.
Just get the necessary rom from EFN thread, phone rom PUHE1 and the pda rom DXHE1. There is even a tutorial on this in EFN thread (1st post).
g00ndu can you please help find the thread/topic where EFN explaines it, i'm having a hard time finding it!
thank you
I think he is talking about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409258&highlight=EFN+PUHE1+DXHE1
download Flashing Guide Tutorial - at the bottom of the 1st post
did exactly as said in the tutorial....
nothing... it seems that the eboot is always the same.....
i don't know what else to do!
g00ndu i can't find the thread you are talking about....
where does EFN talks about the bootloader or a problem like mine??
could you please help me!
thanks!

Okay step by step:
Did you downloaded the russian rom i780PUHE1 (eboot+phone+pda)?
Did you downloaded the i780DXHE1 (pda only)?
Follow the tutorial, assuming step 1 to 4 had already been done.
(5) Launch Mirage updater. Select MIRAGE LV image as the profile
(6) Select EBOOT+PDA+PHONE and select the extracted RUSSIAN .img file
(7) Click on DETECT
(8) Switch on the phone while holding the ENTER and FUNCTION buttons (ALT BUTTON)
(9) After the system DETECT message appears, connect the phone via USB to your PC
(10) Wait until the image is written.
Before flashing to the DXHE1 rom first, please try to boot up and see if it works. If it is successful, you will see plenty of gibberish characters. This is EXPECTED, as the rom is russian.
If it doesn't boot up, then I am sorry I won't be able to help you.
Try the above first. Point to note is to choose eboot+phone+pda. Always press detect first before going through the enter+function+power on process.
If it works, please let me know.
g00ndu, thank you very much, but i already done that several times step by step....
but, unfortunately it stays the same....when i power it on it turns on the backlight but the screen remains black and nothing happens...
but thank you very much anyway!
hellboss, I'm sorry about your device. Perhaps it might be a hardware issue. I'm not sure.
While the device may have a black screen, you could try to see if the LED lights work, whether there is a sound after the system boot up. These are important clues to see if it is really hardware issue.
Once again, I wish you could find a solution to your problem.
Hi, i would like to know if it is possible to discover which ROM is installed in the equipment... I mean, the samsung doens't start i can only go into emergency mode,,, is it possible through the pc to discover which ROM is installed on it??
thank you!

I'm not really sure, but have you try to dump your rom using pdocread, one of the itsutilsbin tools? Meaning get the Part00, Part01 and Part02 raw files which is your rom dump?
If i were you I will try most official rom to rescue the device first. like i780XHC4 that one has all three (healthy and normal) parts.
dogmood i already tried.... but still nothing...
g00ndu , to dump the ROM don't i need to change some values on some key at the pocket pc registry?? if so i can't because the pda doens't start....
P.S-the first time i flashed it i did it on a pc with windows xp but all the time the process was incomplete and i need to turn off the phone and restart the phone, and at the second time was succesful, now i'm doing it on a virtual machine running windows xp pro sp2,,,,, can my problem be related to that??
thank you!
I use a VM for the flashing myself, so this shouldnt cause problems.
If flashing the official rom (EBOOT & Phone & PDA) doesnt work for u then you have to consider the fact that your i780 busted on the hardware level.
The best thing to do now is to claim for warranty and make sure u sent them beack with official rom in your phone (HC4)
Hi EFN,
well I've considered that, and I think that my next move is going to be warranty
but unfortunately the ROM that came with the PDA was not the DXHC4, i bought my samsung in Portugal.
my problem now is that the PDA became dead when i flashed it with the DXHC4 eboot, and now that i can't flash any other ROM i can't put the original ROM, which i have a dump, on it....
so i think that is not going to be accepted on warranty....
honestly i can't discover what went wrong.... I followed every single step of the tutorial to revive a dead i780....
thanks!
P.S-> EFN, I'm a great admirer of your work (samsung i780 ROMs), unfortunately I'm not going to be able to try them......but... anyway keep up the good work!
I believe for as long as the rom on your i780 is an official one (regardless of version), Samsung will honor the warranty. You have to try to know. And of course dont tell them that you have been messing up with flashing this and that
well i think so, if the rom is an official one they will honor the warranty...
that's the why of my question about a way to know the version of the ROM installed on the PDA, but i haven't discover anything...
i guess will just try my luck and send it to warranty!
thanks!

O2 atom life upgrade help needed i read everything to this point!

Hey guys.
Im trying to upgrade my O2 Atom life from WM 5 to the latest O2 official 6.5 WM ROM.
When i tried updating normally by connecting my phone to computer and running the rom setup... my upgrade process gets stuck at Stage 4 with 0%.
If i put my phone in bootloader screen and then upgrade, i get Customer and model ID error.
After reading this forum I tried changing Pass.32 file properties from WWE to CHT and still i get the same customer and model ID error.
I even tried uploading those two files al1.dio and ext rom to a mini sd and upgrade through bootloader that doesn't seem to work either.
Can someone please guide me what else can be done step by step.
Thanks alot in advance for helping.
Ps - im using latest Windows Device center with windows vista.

Phone bricked during flash of roms??

Hi all,
I have a huge problem and I hope you guys can help me. I tried to flash the orbit (german) artemis of my brother. First flashed the uspl and everything worked fine. At the end there came this penguin picture and the screen stayed black/blue. Then I flashed the rom (MossisROMV3.0GER Windows Mobile 6.5).
HOWEVER: Right then the battery of the laptop went down and the pc switched off. Unfortunately we couldnt plug it in, since we didnt have the cable with us. Now after pluging in the pc there were some connection error notices. Since I didnt know how to proceed I removed the battery of the artemis. I thought I should repeat everything from the beginning on. However the phone always got stuck at the blue o2 screen showing the data:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.88.90
OS 3.13.0.0
Softreset and harrest doesnt make any difference. The phone always gets stuck here.
Is the phone bricked?? Why then does it start? Please help me out asap, since the phone is needed. What can I do?
Thanks in advance
brm
first you are NOT CID unlocked (SPL 3.04.0000)
so you can only flash german orbit ROM on the phone to revive it
1. get to bootloader (press and hold the record button and reset the phone using stylus)
you will get the tri colour screen
2. connect the phone via USB to PC (no need to look for activesync/WMDC connection in this case)
3. and run the RUU (official O2 german ROM for O2 Xda Orbit)
BTW i have official o2 UK ROM in my 4shared account
look for the link in my signature
you may try your luck on that
Hi,
thanks for the fast respond. I read the just before some where else and right now I am searching for the original german rom. However cant find it anywere.
Do you think the english one will work too?
best,
brm

Hi again,
after installing a wm 6.5 ger rom i must say i dont like it at all. can you recommend me another one? i think one with htc touchflo would be great, but which one is it?
If i want to flash a new rom, do i first have to flash the original rom before proceeding?
best,
brm
