Dear friends,
I have Dell Axim x51 (416MHz) - no X51V. Last time I upgrade my ROM. After I install ROM R112653.EXE from Dell website, my Axim stuck in Dell splashscreen logo. Windows don't loading. My bootloader version is (SD Image Update A10_G4). Plase help me rescue my Dell. What kind of rom WM5.0 or WM6.0 EN should I install to rescue my device? Plase send me a link to correct rom for my device on mail: kamil.szymoniak<at>gmail.com or private message. PLASE HELP!!
I'm desperated, what should I do? WHat kind of software use? WHat to do ?
Plase Help!
Regards,
Kamil
If you didn't successfully complete the flashing process, you can have problems like this. The device needs to reboot several times (follow the instructions given when you launch the .exe file - don't get impatient).
Did you try hard reset first?
I haven't seen any WM6 ROMS for the X51.
Try to do the flash again with Dell's .exe file.
Flashing process was completed successfully. CRC Sum was correct and the screen in bootloader was saingthat he need rebot device by pressingpower button and swith reset. So i do that. But when device restart i sow blue Dell splashscreen long time and nothing else. System in no loading. He stuck on this Dell logo. Firs rom what i install was from PEB.PL on this site and it was WM6.0 PL version A03. football edition desing for Axim x51V. But dell logo wasnt show, device was all the time with black screen. When it doesn't worked i try to install second one ROM: original from Dell website called: R112653.EXE. This time, when i finished i sow Bblue Dell logo and thats all. Device stuck in this logo.
Plase help me rescue my Axim, whatkind of rom i should install now, or what i have to do ?
mirskym thank you for your post.

It's asking you to do a hard reset (power button and reset). This is sometimes tricky. With Axim on (blue splashscreen), hold down power button, push in and quickly release reset pin (at back of device). KEEP HOLDING POWER BUTTON FOR 10 SECONDS. You should get a screen that asks you to press Calendar key (first button) to do hard reset. Push the button and it should do proper hard reset and boot up. I find sometimes that I have to try this 3 or more times before I get the calendar key screen.
I know that. I do that many times. But it doesn't work. Effect all the time is the same one. Always after Hard reset Axim stuck on blue Dell logo. Any else idea?
I found a more recent ROM for X51 on Dell site. Try this ROM and see if it works.
If that doesn't work, then we'll have to extract the .nb0 file from the R112653.EXE onto SD card so it can be loaded through SD bootloader. You would follow the instructions here.

I have the same problem (Dell blue logo screen at startup)
Hi...
I have a Axim X51 too, with the same problem: i try and i try to update the firmware (bricked after a incomplete update via Dell Software), and nothing happens;
Today i have entered in chat with Dell technical support. They recommended to me, to use the R131773.EXE, because my Dell is in Portuguese. Acordding to the atendant, this is the best ROM to use with my X51. (not "v")
Using IMG2NB0F.exe, i have generated
DiAd_K_AximX51_WM5_A04BR.nb0, from the DELL oficial image "AximX51_WM5_A04BR.IMG".
Manually i havce created the DiAd_K_AximX51_WM5_A04BR_nb0.crc with the crc "D9AC0C12".
Using Wirelless + Power + Reset, i have updated my ROM.
But the problem persists: when i turn my PDA on, he freezes at Dell Blue logo.
Can be a bootloader image problem?
Can somebody help in how can i get the DiAd_B_AximX51_WM5_A04BR.nb0 bootloader image? Or i use the same "DiAd_K_AximX51_WM5_A04BR.nb0", just renaming it to "DiAd_B_AximX51_WM5_A04BR.nb0"?
Tanks by the help.

Hello,
Recently I got Axim X50v, mostly used it with GPS but had constant problems with IGO freezing, so had to reboot it every few minutes which makes it almost useless. I've installed MS ActiveSync and updated 2003SE with official Dell update, but it didn't solve problems with igo. My friend told me to try upgrade from WM 2003SE to some recent version (like WM6).
I followed this thread in order to make upgrade to WM6, specifically this part:
Attention! If you have Windows Mobile 2003SE ROM on your device, FIRST, please download THIS ARCHIVE (RAR 32.4 MB), and update your PDA to A01 Windows Mobile 5 ROM.
After that, please download official WM5 A02 ROM and update your PDA to WM5 A02 ROM.

First update went just fine, but after doing 2nd one (WM5 A02) after hard reset I didn't get even blue dell boot logo, and it looks completely death. Is there anything that should be done which I missed?
Thanks in advance for your help
Pull the battery out for a few minutes and try booting it with the reset button.
Nope that didn't help, so I've decided to follow other steps from this tutorial (copying wm6 image files to sd card and restart), but pushing wireless+power+restart simple didn't work. Finally on some thread some guy mentioned you should keep on pushing restart button (while keeping power and wireless pushed of course), and after I pressed it like 10 times it finally came alive.
After it came alive again I followed procedure and upgrade to WM6 was smooth. Still haven't try IGO though, but WM6 so far works great
what to do with archive
I downloaded the "archive" that was mentioned for AO1 5. There are muliple files in the folder. How do I update to A01 5 from these files?
I have PDAVIET rom on my 2750 - version 5.2.00H on the boot rom.
I want to go back to the HP version of Windows 2003. So, I unpack the files from HP (SP29856 - fresh download from HP), perform a clean reset of the 2750 and start the "downgrade".
When it starts transferring the data, what I see on the Ipaq is a new window called FUU with "Hello World" right in the middle. The upgrade seems to proceed OK - but the system stays on WM6.
So, what is going on? Where is this FUU coming from and why isn't my Ipaq being put into boot mode?
Any help appreciated
I get exactly the same thing as Alan trying to downgrade my hx2795 using the same ROM (SP29856.exe) from HP. Yeah I know the ROM is for the 2750 but the hardware specs look very similar between the 2750 and the 2795 so I was hoping I could use the ROM to downgrade from WM5 to PPC2003.
The rompaq is for all versions of the HX2000 series so it is designed for us. Something else is going on which we don't understand. Anyone elso got any clues?

After the update did you perform a clean reset? Cause when I downgrade to wm5 from wm6 I mention that nothing seems to change(the device boots in wm6) until I perform a clean reset.
I have done many upgrades on both my 4700's and my 2750. Each time, whether it is using the HP method, or Chris's bootloader program, the Ipaq ends up in bootloader mode before the upgrade starts.
On this occasion, it didn't. I got a program called FUU starting up - and I could access the today screen etc while the flashing was apparently working (the HP utility was gayly counting up the percent numbers). At the end of it, Activesync happily reconnected to my old profile.
I did also try a hard reset - but that still came up with WM6 as the base O/S.
Since BOOTLOADER itself will not work either, I think the latest rom upgrade on there has screwed something up - not sure what, why or how.
Alan
Yep, what Alan said. The HP update utility apparently thought it was updating the device but the device was just showing the FUU "Hello World" window. And during the alleged update I can go to the Today screen and access my programs.
If I hadn't downloaded this directly from HP I would think this was a joke.
I am able to re-flash WM5.0 to my hx2795 using sp33752.exe downloaded from HP. Everything works as expected, the HP utility puts my 2795 into bootloader mode before flashing the device.
I cannot find sp33752 - can you give me a pointer?
Thanks
Alan
Hmm... I just tried searching for sp33752.exe on HP's support & drivers webpage and it found it. Otherwise try:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...x=sp33752.exe&pc=0&sc=1&nh=10&rf=0&lkc=1&lk=1
Any luck with downgrading to PPC2003?
Many thanks - I'll try that sometime today and see what happens.
Alan
downgrade
Hi,
I'm trying to do the same. From some searching around I found out that what you need to do is use the WWE-hx2000_PPC03_downgrade.exe program which comes with the WM2003 upgrade CD.
I don't have the cd, and I have problems with P2P (it's avail both on torrent and ed2k), so if you get that file, and it works for you it'd be wonderful if you can upload it to rapidshare or something and post a reply here.
Good luck and cheers
I tried that SP - get the error "Could not initialise the device".
My Ipaq is in the cradle and activesynced to my PC.
So, it looks like i am stuck with this WM6 version. Something about it has stopped any form of upgrade or downgrade.
Alan
So, next thing I tried is to copy the FUU.EXE file to the older SP directory and run that. But all that does is appear to download the nbf file, but the IPAQ hasn't gone into bootloader mode, so nothing happens.
I think what I am missing is why we need these files (RUUClientdriver.dll, FUU.EXE etc) and what changes in each of the OS upgrades to require a different version. Any one know these sorts of answers?
Alan
success!
I found the file (http://rapidshare.com/files/17084671/WWE-hx2000_PPC03_downgrade.exe) and succeeded to downgrade to 2003.
I had to reset to bootloader mode (contacts+itask buttons+reset -> connect to cradle -> calender button*) and then run the hpRUU.exe from extracted directory (c:\ipaq\hx2000) and it works like a charm.
hope it helps. g'luck
(* contacts - 2nd from left, itask - 4th, calendar - 1st.)
That seems to be doing something. I put it into bootloader mode and it's flashing. 66% through and the bar on the Ipaq agrees.
Success!
Worked for me too! Thank you spring777. Now I can run PPC2003, WM5 or WM6 on my hx2795. This is such an awesome forum.
Okay, I've finally got WM6 on my HX2110. For any other people having the same problems I did, here is exactly what I did. What the guides I've found don't tell you is where to find it, and what to do when you get it. Basically you need to trick the iPaq into thinking it's getting the original 1.00.00.l firmware and then switch firmwares. You need to downgrade to the original H firmware before the iPaq will accept wm6. This worked perfectly for me after two days of trial and error. More detailed steps are below, but basically its: flash with 100l, reset, run 100l and swap firmware with 100h, flash, run 100l and swap with wm6, flash
Prerequisites:
Advanced_pack_for_hx2xxx_to_WM6
iPaq HX2110
USB connection to computer
1) Hard reset iPaq. Do this by holding the calendar button and itask button (curved arrow), and then put your stylus into the reset hole on the bottom of the iPaq. This will hard reset it.
2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
3) run hpRUU.exe under the Wm5.0 for hx2000_1.00.00.L_ENG folder. It's found in provishki. it will flash your ipaq to 1.00.00.l . let it flash all the way.
4) hard reset the ipaq and put it in bootloader mode. see steps 1 and 2. make sure it says USB.
5) do step 3 again, but this time don't click upgrade. rename the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file to 100l.nbf
6) go into the SP32408_1.00.00.H_ENG folder and get the NBF file from there. copy it into the 1.00.00.L folder that we were just in. rename is to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf. click upgrade. let the upgrade finish.
7) repeat steps 1 and 2.
8) delete the E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf file that you just copied over and rename the 100l.nbf file to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf.
9) run hpruu.exe again. DO NOT CLICK UPGRADE.
10) get the wm6_wwe.nbf file and copy it into the directory we were just in. rename E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf to 100l.old and wm6_wwe.nbf to E1_Upgrade_ROM_v1_00_00_L_SIGNED.nbf
11) click upgrade. let it finish.
12) repeat step 1
you should now have Windows Mobile 6 on your iPaq. Good luck
I've been finding things that said I need to downgrade my firmware to 1.00.00.h after doing the 1.00.00.l version. I can't find L for the life of me. All I need is for someone to show me where I can get it. The only sites that bring anything up about that are russian.

i might find the problem, i think i started with wm2003. do i need any prerequities to upgrade from WM2003 to wm6??
and what to do when I already bricked my hx2110?
something it's not clear for me... When we run hpruu and 100% of instalation it's complete the devive restart it self. Do we have to wait there? wen do we have to do the hard reset?
I did it!
my advices are
1)start installing from windows mobile 2003
2) do not restart the pocket pc before the windows log-in screen appears!
Good luck!
Thanks!
sorry for my english
So many thanks for your tips.
I have some friends who couldn't flash by ordinary steps, I hope your guides will solve their problem on upgrading to my Thai Customized WM6.1.

Hi!
I'm having some problems with my Hx2110...
When flashing my working ipaq (Step 6), my computer halt.
So, i run HPRUU to reflash again, with no luck (because of "incorrect device SKU). Of course, model ID returned of my bricked IPAQ is "¨¨¨¨¨¨¨"...
But i have another chance, i try universal bootloader and USB telnet, (USB> prompt never come. (Pre-Bl screen and USB on ipaq screen are ok.)
I've tried every solution in this forum, and on internet.. (well, there's a hpruu.exe patched to ignore lang/model, but is for 6xxx series only )
What happen if i put a working 2110 on cradle, when hpruu comes with UPDATE screen, disconnect usb, and connect my non-working ipaq?...this will work?. I can try this on monday.
Thanks!
2) After doing that, put it in to bootloader mode. You do this by holding the contact button (to the right of the calendar) and the itask arrow, and then clicking the reset button on the bottom. It should now be in bootloader mode. unplug the power/usb cable and plug it back in. hit the calendar button. it should now say USB.
I just have to ask this:
What we should do before Unpluging powe/usb cable and plug it back in ???
Does it means that after putting it in bootloader mode i must put it on a cradle, then unplug power/usb cable and then again plug in it and press the calendar button ??? Or else ?

but how do i do this?it isn`t in bootloader?(it shows a hp image up shows usb and down v1,08)
...
First important question: what upgrade did you try to do?
For iPAQ h2200 there is no cooked ROMs: WM5 or WM6x. This device can work only under branded WM2003se.
If you tried to do upgrade to any of cooked ROM like WM6.0 from different device like hx22xx by mistake, please try the following:
1. Go to HP www page and download the last available ROM upgrade (I assume English ROM)
2. Turn on iPAQ (don't carry the device doesn't boot properly) and place it to the cradle which should be connected to PC which has installed active sync software (please don't carry about lack of connection seen on active sync).
3. Run the ROM upgrade.
If you tried the HP upgrade and it stuck - just repeat them with the way described above.
Important - do not use blue tooth connection during flash !!! Only USB !!!
Good luck.
If it doesn't help I believe there is hundred of similar cases described in forums - try to search the solution there

As I understand you correctly - you restored your iPAQ into live using the last available ROM from HP site, which is WM2003 (thank you Menneisyys). The iPAQ worked fine and then you was trying to make another ROM upgrade - which ROM did you use?
I am asking because the ROM in version 1.10 is the most actual one and there is no any other ROM for this device. I assume that source of your problem is you are trying to use incorrect ROM. Correct me if I am wrong... If this is true - the solution is to restore your device into operational using the way as you did it before and stop to flashing your device - there is no another ROM to your iPAQ
the v1.10 but the problem is that after i flash the wm doesn`t start it just stay there stuck on the startup and i reflashed the device but still doesn`t start
how did u fix the stucked screen while booting? im searching for solutions for 30 mins now, but dind't find a way...
please help somebody..
ok, for those with "same" problems like me:
i have windows 7 64bit. the rom flashing wasn't successfull on this machine. i did the same on my notebook with windows xp and it worked. before it said that it couldn't find my ppc. on the notebook it wasn't a problem.
i had these installation notes found anywhere:
1.) Go to the Vendor Website, and...
2.) Select the appropriate hyperlink for your model.
3.) Download the most recent BIOS version.
4.) Press the POWER + iTASK + CONTACTS + RESET buttons at the same time so as to enter the FLASH Mode
5.) Make sure your USB connection to the Cradle is hooked-up.
6.) Place your PDA in the USB Cradle.
7.) Stop the MS ActiveSync session on your HOST PC: CTRL-ALT-DELETE > TASK MANAGER > PROCESSES.
8.) Highlight WESCOMM.EXE and select "End Process" button.
9.) Run the file you downloaded from your Vendor in step 3.
10.) The PDA should now begin Flashing the iPAQ's ROM BIOS.
i ignored step 4.)
hope that it helped somebody
