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 have wince 2003 a05 installed in my x50v. I can't see any BIS, although it say s 128M ROM in the system information. Someone said this can be solved by changing the language. But I can't find any wince 2003 ROM (nb0 files) available online. Can anyone tell me how to solve my problem and upload required ROMs? Thanks!

why bother with 2003 ( not even 2003SE ) - when you can have WM6 ??

If you don't like it ... all I can find is 2003SE here:

Thanks! Nice website, man!
To be honest, I have tried two ways two upgrade my x50v from 2k3 A05 to WM5 which is a pre-requirement for WM60:
1) use Dell's upgrade program (failed at the last step, formatting rom 30%)
2) use SD image loader with WM50 A01 Eng ROM files (failed at "erasing storage 30%)
I was just wondering if there is any hardware problem of my ROM. Maybe that's why I can't see the ROM in 2k3 A05 system.
I also tried using language change (Japanese <-> English). But it didn't work. I still can't see ROM in my system.
I even tried writing WM60 ROM directly, but also failed at "erasing storage".
Is there any software that can diagnose the ROM?
Thanks again!
who knows from all the playing around you have done that you "muddy" up your device and causes conflicts ...etc ???
I would suggest:
hard reset your device ---That should revert it back to factory settings.
and now you can start FRESH upgrade/downgrade ...etc !!!
If you decided to experiment with the link I gave ...

make sure you read throughly the "required" part of the post before proceeding !!!

Attention!
If you have Windows Mobile 2003SE ROM on your device, FIRST, please download THIS ARCHIVE (RAR 32.4 MB) (Mirror),
/ and update your PDA to A01 Windows Mobile 5 ROM.
/ After that, go to Dell site, download official WM5 A02 ROM and update your PDA to WM5 A02 ROM.""
It's a used x50v. I got it a couple weeks ago.
As I mentioned, I can't upgrade to WM5. Leave WM6 alone. Thank you though.
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.
