SD Card Boot Force ROM Upgrade Method ?

[maddoctor]

Imagine if we could pull the updates from the X51v and roll our own X50v rom!

I'd love that, but isn't it really hard, if even possible, because of the different type of rom?NAND vs NOR. One of them has XIP, the other doesn't, for example. That would take alot of changes...

Thank you Domme for saving my Axim 50v. You make Dell Axim Technical Support Team look a bunch of morons. Thanks again for your effort.

Domme, you've just saved my x50v!!! :cheers:

i was hoping i'd never get to use the procedures you guys have discussed here, but lo, my axim just crashed yesterday and got stuck at the 80% boot up blue screen during hard resets.

Thanks to you guys! Now i got this brick usable again!

Links down again. Has anyone got an alternative?

HELP!
My axim also crashed at 80% - despite I am desperately needing nb0/crc, I cannot boot into the bootloader (holding wireless+power while pushing the reset button gives me the choice of restoring factory settings - I choose to but it ends up halting at 80% of dell-logo-bar again w/o going into the bootloader!?
Any - and I mean any - ideas?

I've just had a delivery of a whole bunch barebone X50v's and it turns out they're from all over the place.

I'm going to need to try the SD card boot method to force an English ROM onto some of them but cant find the details on how to do it. I know it's around here somewhere.

Little help please. :)

okay I got the updater to run - with random pressing of the three buttons, and a little more force...

... leaves the problem where to get image files...

Please help!

Hello,


My X50V is now a brick I was doing the update from dell and the power went out and now the X50V will only boot about 80-90% of the dell boot screen and stop.


I see some folks have had good luck flashing from the SD but I need the files.


If any has the WM5 ROM and CRC files pls let me know where I can download them


Thanks Jim .....

Hello,

I just tried to update my x51v from 2003 to WM5. It worked for a few days but now I'm another person with a brick. It boots to 80-90%. I can get to the bootloader, but need the files to boot ROM & CRC files. I would appreciate it if someone could let me knwo where to donwload them...

Thanks in advance. This is a great place for information
