Overwriting ROM files in /Windows
Hi, does overwriting files in ROM cause any device damage? Specifically, I want to replace the .wav sound files in the /Windows directory with my own sounds. When I go to overwrite them in Resco Explorer, it gives me a warning about possible device damage.
I understand doing a hard-reset will restore the original files, but will it cause any long-term, permanent damage? Thanks. | |||||

No, i dont think. B/c the rom files are stukk there, your just putting files in the ram that hide the rom files.
Ive had xp sounds overtop of the default sounds for almost a year, and all soft/hard resets, backups, etc with the sounds have been fine. After a hard reset sounds go back to default, then you restore your backup and the sounds are back. | ||||||||||

I'm not sure what error message you're getting from Resco that refers to "damage" but there's nothing you can do with a software application to physically "break" your PDA. About all you can do is screw up the registry or something and a hard-reset will restore it back to factory-default. You can't break it permanently - not with software. You could, of course, break it by hitting it with a hammer or dropping it - but that's a different matter! Feel better? -CB ![]() | ||||||||||

The error resco gives you could be b/c ur in the /windows directory and its warning you that if you overwrite a file that is used to boot wm or a sys file, you may have to hard reset. A lot easier than if you delete a win sys file.

Dell Axim X50v VGA System Update for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
Hi guys,
I just got this down from dellsite "Dell Axim X50v VGA System Update for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition" Is it really that critical and am I wasting my time upgrading? I bin browsing and read a few posts about upgrades messin up the pda altogether!!. I love the x50v but I don't have much confidence in Dell.. the battery packed in after 8 months and post warranty the AC charger is crapped out... I know this as i am using a friends charger...so do I leave well alone? regards Dicey | |||

A01 works fine for me on my x50. But with the x51 there are more issues, that require rom updates. As long as you stick to my saying, youll be satisfied... | |||||||||||

But you cannot erase or overwrite any of the files which comprise the OS - only the complete OS itself. This is a pity because I would like to gain extra BIS space by erasing programs which I never use like Pocket Excel (I use PlanMaker and/or Spread CE Instead) Pocket Word (I use TextMaker instead), Data Backup (I use Sprite and Spb backup instead) and several others. Unfortunately this simply cannot be done ![]() | ||||||
