I have 2 dell x50v's....I had done an upgrade to WM6 about 6 months ago and it worked fine, still does. I have a second one that I want to upgrade to WM6 from WM2003se. I have more or less forgotten how to do it...I have an RAR file that I found on here MagLite edition and another that my old man bought on EBay as a digital download. Neither of them work.
Right now I have the A05 ROM in the x50v and I am trying to find the right file to upgrade it to WM5 A01....but I can't find it....Can someone post up a file of what I need and some instructions. I am pulling my hair out here

i recently purchases a Dell Axim X50v, and i have upgraded it to windows mobile 5 AO2. i want to upgrade it to WM6 AO1. i want the SDHC card support. can someone help me out, i'm new to the site, and can't seem to find it. also is wm6 stable to run on axim x50v, cause if it is going to harm my device i'd rather not upgrade it.
There is always a risk associated with upgrading your ROM. Be sure to use the correct ROM, not a ROM for the x50 or the x51 or the x51v. I believe the ROM you are looking for was created by Maglite and is located in this section of the forums. Just scroll down a little it may have been pushed to the second page. This would be the place to inquier about the stability of the ROM, and there should also be instructions for flashing your device.
i found a the maglite rom but it wouldnt download could someone post a link to the one that works, and i have no idea what flashing means

upgrading ppc2003 to wm5
I just did this upgrade yesturday, I had my 4700, I bought WM5 on eBay, I follow instructions on it and because I didn’t look at Vista specials, I got my Ipaq totally off. It got stack on loading, showing only USB and version 1.01 gray screen.
Well, I download bootloader on my PC with windows XP, start it, select file to load in (CEOS_UPG) and after cca 10 min. I can enjoy my hp4700 again with new WM5. Now I know, that there is no problem with this tool to go back to WM5, I am going to try WM6, I will try to use install from vista and I will see. Going to try WM6_4700_RELEASE4.
Hi All,
Sorry to be a pain but wondering if anyone can help a newbie in over his head.
I have a dell axim x51v. Ive upgraded to wm6.1 lennysh A07 and all was fine. I then purchased a cf gps receiver and obviously found that it has no cf support. I then decided to downgrade back to the dell official a06 release of wm5 and install the patch to get cf support. The dell app that i downloaded times out when trying to install it which i presume is because of the non standard image on the axim. Ive also tried doing it via sd update but the bootloader says the dell image is not a valid rom .
Could anyone please explain how i can either downgrade back to the original dell rom or install a new rom (pref wm6.1) that will support my cf gps receiver?
Thanks very much in advance if anyone can help, id be extremely grateful! Great forum btw! You guys are geniuses!
oh, and ive tried to search and found a couple of links but they seem to be about 150 pages long and for the life of me i cant find the info i need.
sorry again for being useless!

Do you have the A12 SD image files? If not, I found them from HappyMM's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1376710&postcount=140. I was able to flash back to A12 using these files on SD card, when the Dell installer wouldn't work, for an x51v that I had to return for exchange.
I have no CF issues with this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384266
I am using CompactFlash GlobalSat GPS (sirf star III) with TomTom 7 and Garmin Mobile XT (coz they have Mexico maps). Works perfectly with this ROM and Footballs A03 ROM. Also use a Hitachi 8GB CF card in there when GPS unit is not in use and no CF issues.
Do not go back to WM5 unless you tried everything and it didn't work for you.
Thanks to all for your comments, turns out it wasnt anything to do with the roms at all. It was the actual device itself which was faulty, found out after about ten hours of troubleshooting.... sheesh
I would agree, do not go back to WM5 if at all possible. All of the ROMs I have tried for WM6 and WM6.1 have been nothing but positive on the speed of my unit and the stability of my unit.
I've been searching through the site for a good 2 hours and can only find snippits of information how to do this downgrade. Could some give me the instructions on how to downgrade from WM6 to WM2003 A05.
Also the file links for the WM2003 A05 ROM don't seem to be around anymore, anyone know of where I can download them. Thanks in advance.
Here is the ROM
Hi, I was also looking for it like an entire day. I downloaded it just today from this link:
http://rs168l34.rapidshare.com/files/58078830/1747793/WM2003SE_A05_EN_X50v.rar
My Axim X50v was stuck (after upgrading to WM5 and then to WM6). I needed to unpack these files to SD card and RENAME the file names from "Dima..." to "WM5.. "
hope it helps
I'm trying to find a way to get Windows Mobile 5 or 6 onto my Dell Axim X3i...
Anyone had any luck with this?
I don't think that WM6 will run on the X3i. As for WM5, it is possible, but you have to find a way to extract the current rom (either from the img file or using grab-it), and be able to flash the modified rom back first.
