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 want to downgrade my axim x51v from Wm6 to Wm5 but I couldn't do it. Can anyone help me!!!
thanks All!!
Here is a link to the files for the Dell Axim X51v A012 ROM. Someone posted this a while back under the A03 thread. I have used these with my Ax with success, but bear no responsibility if they don't work for anyone else. These must be flashed using the SD Bootloader method.
To read the steps for flashing from SD, look in WM6 A03 Thread.
Code:

If I might suggest, try the Wm6 upgrade again. I really like Wm6 A03 RTM, and the only reason I have this A012 ROM is because I had to downgrade and reupgrade, because my ax didn't like the fact that I went to A017 inbetween. Everything works well for me now.

Have you tried doing it with the original Dell firmware software (on the CD)? I read somewhere in this forum that you can use it to fix a bad flash, I never did myself (very happy wm6 user).
HELP ME!
Hi Friends!
You can upload this ROM again!? WM5.0 ???
I´m need this! Please!
Thanks a Lot and Big Hug for ALL!
This is old but felt nostalgic today.
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED DUE TO FORUM RULE #7 VIOLATION
Follow this to downgrade but be warned the Axim or just old PDAs are picky on the SD cards you use, or maybe how its formatted. dug up many sd cards and micro sd adapters until i found one that finally worked. Also be patient because its slow to flash image.
Used a Nokia branded 1.0GB sd card that i dont remember where i found it, formatted on windows 11 to FAT32 and maybe guiformat-x64.Exe (so many sd cards and formatting combos)
Edit: mod removed link because it had an offer to do the downgrade but had isntructions on how to do it, wont post again but its been posted around here before, i was not trying to sell anything.
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
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'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.
