Im wondering if its possible to create a rom for an x50 using WM6. Im new to this crowd but i dont have a problem getting my hands dirty. I have some experiance creating and hacking non WM phones so i figure i can probably keep myself from drownding.
I know almost all of the new PPC's and Smartphones are VGA, does WM6 only run on VGA phones? also it seems the only roms out there for WM6 are for VGA devices, is that the reason?. Im also wondering how hard it would be to modify an existing WM6 rom for the x50v so that it would work with the x50(if thats possible).
my PPC is 520mhz with 128mb ram QVGA
I would greatly appreciate some help/nudge in the right direction.
Kind of duplicate thread of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323523
The process is probably the same as building a rom for a x50v, which is easier than doing it for an x51v as there is an issue for creating/modifying xip. However You can check if you can directly re-use x50v xip.
KINDA...helps
The thread helped alittle, pointed me to the tools. However, i still dont know if its possible and i dont want to try it and have the result of a bricked PDA.
I don't see why it would not be possible. You need to extract your nb0 to start, since you have it, you can always recover from a corrupted rom. I had already extract file from a x51 rom with success using those tools. I don't have any x50, x51 device to try it. But I already modified several x51v rom using those tools to be able to fix the CF bug on Football A17 rom.

Hi
Well...
I tried to start up looking into the differences in the roms but i can't even open them
Ill try some more but i think it's just waist of time. U really need a good coder like football to do this...
Let's hope someone can do the magic for x50/x51 like he did with the v editions
By the way, isn't there a possibility to port a x51v to a x51 rom ?

We would be very happy if any1 here could make a WM6-rom for trinity or write a guide so I could bake it myself. Please.
What you need to start with is a base Trinity WM6 ROM (since it's HTC's job to write the HAL). AFAIK these don't exist for the Trinity yet.
So there is no possibility to use the rom from kyphurs release and convert it with all the avalible tools?
Since the base HAL of the ROM is hermes specific, it would be like trying to flash a hermes os.nb onto a Trinity.
Hmmm damn, people make miracles here in this forum allready would it be impossible to write a hal for them? Excuse me for not knowing what I talk about here but cant someone strip an wm5-rom and take whatever thats needed for the wm6-rom to boot?
if i were to use mtty to lnb OS.nb to a trinity
would it spoil the trinity?
@jeRrRKKKK: probably not if you use a valid hermes OS.nb, but it won't boot, so you should better don't try it.
maybe i should try to convince some trinity users to try it so if they bricked their device while trying, i wouldn't be at any loss... lol
anyways the process is reversible... why not some trinity users give it a go?
for all you know it might open the door for cross platform flashing... imagine if the o2 atom gets wm6 full release first, and we can just cross platform flash it over... don't you think it saves alot of time and agony?
Hi
I am intrested in making my zinc WM6 ... but I couldnt find any in cooked rom for it. Just wondering is there any how to in making cooked rom? also where can i find the base WM6? Would be very grateful if anyone can share the know how ... eace:
for most devices cooking mean adding programs one wants in extented rom so they autoinstall
there is no such thing as a base rom all roms are unique to the device they were made for
thanks for the expalination ... if i want to make a rom for my zinc, how do i replace the existing WM5 rom to wm6 rom? and where can i find the wm6 rom? can i use the hermes wm6 rom i mean the posted wwe,cht, jp roms? as the base of the wm6 rom ? TQ
no only a custom zink wm6 rom if such a rom exist would do
ok ... but then again for others like wizard or hermes there r still no WM6 rom right? so how did do they come out with a WM6 rom?? thanks again
a beta test rom was leaked for some devices
like many of the wm5 roms for devices like himalaya and blue angel were leaked
but some devices will get official roms from htc believe hermes is one of those
Um, very interesting. Rudegar, seems like you know a lot about this ROM business. (myself, i'm unexperienced, but would like to know something). So, tell me:
I personally own a Dell Axim x50v WM5 A02, and while Dell would no longer provide any, since they just discontinued those models, i was searching for the custom upgrades.
So, do you need to have a leaked base WM6 ROM specifically designed to be run on an Axim, in order to built a WM6 Custom ROM for Dell Axim, or can you still make one from scratch, AND i mean use any leaked WM6 ROM (such as the one for the Hermes), and then rewrite some lines of code in order to adjust it to the different drivers installed on an Axim?
Some Russian guys from 4PDA made a WM5 AKU 3.5.2 custom upgrade for the Dell Axim by adjusting it to its drivers (they are experiencing some issues with them thou). While it is not WM6, do you need to have a leaked AKU or something for that device as well, or is it just for running an entirely different operating system on it? WM5 itself is a natural OS running on a Dell Axim x51v.
But they also claimed that they can make in the same way Wm6 upgrade for Dell Axim. Without the already leaked WM6 ROM for it, is it really possible?
in theroy i guess you can make it from scratch but it's suppose to be diff
read this for info about the topic in general
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296728&highlight=drivers+AMD+WM6
So, does upgarding just the AKU, which was never released for the device, requires the leaked version as a whole OS?
Im new to this arena and im looking to upgrade my X50 (Pocket PC 2003)i would like to do WM6 but i dont know if its possible. It seems like all of the successful flashes occur with the VGA versions. Can i flash my X50 with it, and the same question goes for WM5. I cant find any rom that has the standard X50 in the title. I dont want to brick it so im being alittle careful. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It's great that you're being careful! You have to be one of the smartest X50 users I've seen lately in this forum! Currently, the only WM5 and WM6 ROMs in this forum that I'm aware of are for the VGA Axims only. Those would be the X50v and X51v. You cannot flash either of the X50v ROMs to your X50, unfortunately. You will end up with a brick as many X50 users have found out the hard way. Yes, some have recovered successfully, but it's definitely not a good thing for your blood pressure/stress level. I wish I had some better news for you, but that's about all I can tell you. You probably already have done this, but a quick search or two in these forums will probably confirm (or disprove) my answer. Perhaps an X50 user somewhere along the way will come up with a ROM for X50s.
so how would i go about creating a rom for wm5 for my x50?

Start researching...
Honestly, I have not created a ROM before. I know how to do some basic ROM stuff, but I don't know how to build/modify one to create a working one for another device. There are lots of helps in these forums if you take the time to find them. Obviously, making a working ROM is a lot of work and something that should not be taken lightly. There are lots of different ways to brick a device by poorly building a ROM. However, if you're really serious about it, I'm sure you will have the drive to do your research and find answers. Some more experienced ROM creators who have experience with Axim devices are Football and MagLite_RUS. They might be able to give you some direction. Good luck.
Hi, there are any WM6 rom can upgrade the X51 (not X51V)
Many Thanks!
No you can't wm6 upgrade only for x51v.
it so sad for X51 user....
btw Thank you for your reply~
x51 not worth for a wm6 rom update?
Dear Football, I follow your posts eagerly on your efforts for x51v, and I really appreciate them, and hopefully looking forward to seeing a rom for x51, but is it not worth your efforts, should I understand that from your post here? Thanks.
Hope have any one can develop the X51 upgrade to WM6 rom~
What happens if one tries to use the A03 WM6 ROM on a regular X51? Has anyone tried using any of Football's ROM's on a regular X51?
x51v ROM doesn't work for x51!!!
Hi, I tried flashing my x51 with the x51v ROM and it got bricked!!! Then I desparately tried for an SD bootloader image for my axim and after a few days time, a dear member, Larik, helped me by uploading both .nb0 file and the image file, so I got back my axim. Then, my word is that, never try it!
Ouch! Well, thanks for letting me know - at least you got it up again

Just wondering why no one is workng on a version for the other axim x51 pda's, such as the 520mhz version. It would be nice if someone would do that.
WHY NO EFFORT for X51 wm6???
I completely agree with emk8314, why doesn't anybody create a ROM for x51? There are many able people here to make that ROM, and I am sure many people expecting that. So , please somebody do that!!!
I don't know about you, but I'm working on a WM5 aku 3.5 A03 rom for X50(mid) right now (almost finished, but need testers). I will try to work on a WM6 rom for X50(mid) after I am done with the first rom. As for your statement on someone making a WM6 rom for X51, why don't you make the rom yourself? After all, all the tools you need can be found here.
Not to sound like too much of a noob, but is it difficult to make your own version of wm6?
also, where are these tools you're talking about? to make my own?

Yes, there is a way to make a rom for the axim X51. No, there is no kitchen that exists for the axim X51. You have to do all the dirty work manually. I will, however, give you the tools to work and a place to get started.
Most of the stuff you need can be found right here on Xda-Developers. You need the latest rom that Dell made (I think it's A12), the rom that has the os or aku you want, Xipport, and M'Relloc. A good place to start would be http://www.pda4x.com/read.php?tid=40125&fpage=3.
Thank you!
How can i converter the A12 rom which is in .img format into an .nbf?
where could i find a WM6 Classic Rom?
Thanks again,
Kurt
I tryed doing it today but failed lol my Axim is bricked theres no point in me un bricking it now i cant stand WM5 just gives me errors all the time where both my Wizard and Niki hardly ever.
Is there a tutorial anywhere that could help me on doing it?
Come on guys Thanks
Kurt
Have you ever seen http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/137015-tutorial-how-revive-bricked-x51-v-using-dommes-sd-rom-loader-tutorial.html before on Aximsite? This might help you get the X51 nb0 you are looking for. What rom are you getting WM6 from anyway? Do you have Xipport and M'Relloc yet?

Ive unbricked my Axim i converted the file to .nb0 i tryed to use Xipport but im not sure if im using it correctly. I dont understand what M'relloc does i tryed to use it but was confused. what i did try was to take the XIP from the Dell A12 Rom and insert it into footballs WM6 for the X51v i would prefer to use a different rom but cannot find one.
Thank you,

I forgot to mention you also need a hex editor. I say that you use HxD, found at http://www.mh-nexus.de/hxd/. Now in HxD, search (choose "find next") for the hex value "FE 03 00 EA" and go to the 2nd instance of it. Have Mammich's imgfs tools handy. Run the axim nb0 file through prepare_imgfs.exe and get the hex value that the imgfs starts at. Use the "find next" option again and search for the starting value of the imgfs. Choose "next" for a few times and then choose "select block". Change the starting value to "140000" and save the highlighted bunch as "xip.bin" to get your axim's xip.
Rumble you still working on it? I am looking for 6.1 aswell.
I was thinking, maybee there is a way to extract and replace the qvga stuff to fit the x51
from the football release (does that sound stupid?)
Let me know if I can help somehow
Why no effort for Dell x51??? (
Hi, everybody. I wonder why not anybody prepare some wm6 ROM for x51? Is it so difficult or the device not worth it???
Probably no one has the time and expertise to do it. It also takes time to test the rom builds for errors. It's already a pain for me since my X50(mid) broke and I have to rely on beta testers to test for me.
Ive stopped trying now. Would be great to have it though. I need some1 who can tell me excatly what to do other than that theres no point.
Hi rumble291 there is a guy who build a Rom for the X51 he is call Lenny
