Aximsiteactivesyncicon Spanish X50 to English?

Is it possible to change my X50 from Spanish to English? I tried to sync with my PC and it doesnt seem to see the device. Does the Activesync need to be Spanish version to get started? (I would try a Bluetooth sync, but the Axim states the BT license is expiriou)

First, welcome to Aximsite. Lots of good info and ppl here.

Rather than try to give you a bunch of links to view, I recommend doing a search for "language conversion" There's lots of threads you will want to read before trying to make the change.

I've never done it myself, but, it appears you just need to flash you ROM with the English versions starting with A01. You will need to have an ActiveSync connection.

Good luck. :)

I'd recommend just flashing english A12 using the SD ImageLoader.

There's apps around to extract the nb0 file and make the crc file from the IMG that Dell provide and it's not hard to flash that way.

It seems to me you had to flash back to A02 or something like that. Than, flash forward to A12. That's why I recommended doing the search. :)

Thanks for the info

They all seem to involve a HEX editor and MAJOR warnings...I pretty much know what the buttons do from using IPAQ's even though I cant read the Spanish so I will probably just use it as I have been

I read what you said but I am not that technical. I do know technology, just not all the PDA acronyms
