1) Download the WM2003 pack (AximX50_WM2k3_A05_EN.rar)
2) Copy all four files to the card
3) Rename DiMa_B_A05_X50_WM2k3_ENG.nb0 to WM50_B_A05_X50_WM2k3_ENG.nb0 (just change the first four letters)
4) Do likewise with the .crc file
5) Boot X50. If you cannot get to the reflashing screen, try entering the diagnostic screen first and from there reset to reflashing screen.
6) Only the boot loader ROM should be visible. Flash it.
7) When the device says it's ready, immediately power+wireless+reset again to enter flash screen.
8) Only the OS ROM should be visible. Flash it.
9) Do a hard reset when it's done. If you only get a white screen after boot, try entering diagnostics mode, run it through, then hard reset again.
10) You should now be where you started, with WM2003 installed. Now you can try using the Dell utility to flash WM5 again.

Edit: Now running WM5 A02 on X50 LOW after reflash with Dell utility + R143810 :-) The question now is, do I really want to run WM5 ;-) LOL!
Had a bricked x50 low (sob)
Did the bootloader (Yes! It worked)
Flashed the rom (Booyah!)
Got the white screen (sniff)
Did the diagnostic (all OK)
Got to the align screen (running sloooow at first)
Cut/Paste demo (fast!)
Time (Yes! Yes!)
Everything good! Now lets install the 2 apps I run.
ROCK & ROLL! Everything is working perfect!
One million thanks to you, man!
