You should get the ROM from Dell

yeah tried that but the rom on dells site is a rom without bluetooth support and i need one that supports bluetooth and wifi.

(i bought the thing 2nd hand and it was flashed before i got it)

Are you sure the device has bluetooth? If you bought it second hand it could be the USA X3i which did not include bluetooth hardware (even though there is a bluetooth logo on it)

Or - if it genuinely is the BT Version, find the country of origin and go to that website. The http://www.dell.co.uk site would have teh X3i ROM with the BT code.

no i am not realy sure it is european or american but when i bought it had the french language on it so i think it is the one with B/T.
under the battery it says it is model :HC02U on the right top it has the black bubble so at least it has integrated lan.

Did you buy it from Ebay? Ask the seller or check their country of origin.

It could be the Canadian one too.

mohquembe · 12-18-04, 05:59 AM

i checked it and the country of origin is france

Howard2k · 12-18-04, 07:41 PM

So can you get the ROM from the Dell France site?

mohquembe · 12-19-04, 12:12 PM

ehhhh no good cause i dont like french language i like it better in english and the rom the have on thier site is not suporting B/T.
look this is the rom they have on thier site:

Dell Axim X3 System Update Utility for Windows Mobile 2003, v.06290400EN, A01
Date de la version: 01/07/2004
Description: Axim X3 System Update Utility for Windows Mobile 2003 (Patch/Upgrade)
ROM release for Axim X3 non-wireless configurations and Axim X3i integrated 802.11b Wireless LAN configuration. This ROM release SHOULD NOT be used with X3i combination integrated 802.11b Wireless LAN and Bluetooth configuration.

There is a thread on here somewhere about how to flash with a ROM from another language. So you would take an English ROM (from dell.co.uk) and then follow the steps to have your French Axim accept it.

Just be aware that you'd be doing it entirely at your own risk obviously. It's a recent thread. Maybe search on "ROM" and "language".

mohquembe · 12-19-04, 01:43 PM

i know that trick but still need the good rom to do it .

Howard2k · 12-19-04, 01:46 PM

Which you can get from dell.co.uk right?

**Martin** · 12-19-04, 01:47 PM

Just go to dell.co.uk...go the support pages, enter your service tag and go the rom updates...

EDIT: Howard's always quicker than me, dammit

If the X3i with BT is working fine, why in God's name do you NEED to flash the ROM?!? If you're not having any problems with it, it's better to leave well enough alone since you're having so many problems locating the proper ROM and have no idea where the Axim originated from.

Where, exactly, did you purchase this "second hand" Axim? eBay? Off a street corner? It wouldn't happen to be "hot" would it?
