Dell Axim X50, wanting to upgrade from WM2003 to WM5. Help please? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I`ve tried searching, but as the search only allows more than 3 character searches, I can`t search for X50 , I only get the message "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. " when searching for X50.
I have found some guides for the X50V, but that is a different ROM.
What I`m after is the WM5 A01 Rom, so I can upgrade my X50 from WM2003 to WM5, I can then flash that with the A02 ROM for the increased stability that one offers.
If there are any threads that already answer this, please, just put the link here and I`ll follow the info on the relevant thread.
I have tried searching before posting.
If there are any custom ROM`s that are better than the A02 one, I`d be grateful if someone could let me know?
Thanks in advance
Wh00sh.

Have you checked aximsite?There's a sticky there that deals with X50 series flashing.

Look at this.

Any Dell X51 WM6 Rom ?

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

I' ve tried the same, but I can't get it work again.
Can you please tell how to put back wm5??
How to boot wm5 to x51!!!
Dear Pedro Miguel,
I uploaded the valuable explanation from LArik to rapidshare, and you can read and save your axim. Bye.

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?

How to flash/install WM6 A03 to x51v

Am I just missing something, but I can't seem to find out how to flash my Axim x51v to WM6 A03. I've tried searching using "flashing" "installing" "Axim", but it doesn't give me any links to an actual how-to. I've flashed my x51v to A12 using Dell's utility, which was simple and straight forward. Will flashing it to WM6 be as simple?
Thanks.

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,
Kurt
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

Upgrade for DELL AXIM X50 to WM6

Hello.
I am new on the forum and I am French. I heard a lot about you so I come to join has you.
I have a problem with my DELL AXIM X50 (520 Mhz, 64 RAM, 128 ROM). I have many article on WM6 for X50V but for mine...
So, I would like to know if it is possible to instal a ROM WM6 for my X50 or possibly if it is not possible, the upgrader with a ROM more successful than the 2003.
Thank you in advance.
Cordially.
Anybody to help me?
Give me a rom dump of a X50(mid) running the WM5 A02 rom, and I will make a WM6 rom.

hey steven, can you provide some links and instructions on how to do a rom dump?
I, myself can't give good instructions on doing a rom dump but the download threads can. You can use the Grab_it program to dump the rom, fount at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945. The instructions are on the download page too. If those instructions don't work try the ones from aximsite found at http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/112267-tutorial-how-create-your-own-flash-images-your-axim.html. Try the 128mb version first with both instructions (2nd set of instructions only if the first one doesn't work). If you do have to you use the aximsite instructions, only follow the steps that pertain to the rom dump. If it gives you errors both times, use the 1st set of instructions again and check the sd card for a dump file. When you get the dump, upload it somewhere on the internet and give me the link. This is open to anyone with an X50(mid first) running the WM5 A02 rom image. Just do a hard reset first and then do the dump (dumping the rom will not hurt your axim). If you have any questions, feel free to post back.
Axim X50(mid) ROM
I have an Axim X50(mid) with WM5 A02 rom on it now. I will have the opportunity in a week or two to hard reset it and dump the stock ROM. I have just downloaded the grab-it 128MB version. If I get a good dump, how can I get it to you? If I get it to you can you roll a WM6 or better WM6.1 ROM for the X50(mid)? I am willing to use my device as a test platform (I have bricked it and unbricked it twice so development doesn't scare me).
Thank you very much for your help! But I do not understand everything that it is necessary to make. I am French and I have difficulty in understanding everything.
Tell ya what, once I get a working WM6 rom in English, I will get in contact with Makuu (he does have lots of experience with french roms) to help me make a french version for X50(mid).
OK!
It is great! Thank you for the good new
I looks forward.
Could you send to me a private e-mail when you will have news?
Thank you in advance.
Cordially.

New to I-Mate.

Hi there. I'm new to I-mate and I have no idea about ROMs, HTC and everything. I was reading through all posts and most links were not working.
Basically, my version of I-mate is 1.30.76 WWE and I want to update it to Windows Mobile 6. Is it possible to do this?
I tried going on the club I-mate website but I think they might be having some technical difficulties. Its not opening.
Can someone please give me step by step instructions as to how I can update my I-mate to a much better version or operating system.
Make sure your ROM unlocked. Remove SD Card. Put Uni into bootloader mode. Run upgrade app you've downloaded. Full instructions on Wiki (which is down at the moment).

Would I be able to get Windows Mobile 6 on the i-mate jasjar?
Here is xda-developers wiki(from 2008) from archive.org http://web.archive.org/web/20080521015347/wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
You can even get WM6.5

Thank you guys so much! I managed to update my I-mate to WM6.1 following your signature links. Its quite impressive but I was wondering, is it possible to upgrade my Ram? Its currently 64MB. Could I increase it to 128MB or higher?
And also, are there WM6.5 for 64MB I-mates?
Glad to know it helped

Thanks! You've been of great help. I checked Tomal's v10 but the link to download is not working . Do you know of any links he has put up that work?
Oh never mind. I have found it. Thanks a lot you guys. You are the best! I'll start making my own roms and if I am successful, I will post them on this website. I-mate, Universal...... etc rock!
Shame they went bust.
Have a great day .
