Downgrading from WM 5 to WM 2003

[Arthur Pendrag]

I am wondering how to downgrade my x50v from the Windows Mobile 5 upgrade. So far everything I have done has been un-successful. Also , when I bought my Axim did it come with a Windows Mobile 2003 CD-ROM? I cannot seem to find it and am thinking it might have never come...

Thanks.

The downgrade utility is available on the Dell site.

Try the dell site they have a util that downgrades you from 5.0 to 2003 SE.

Just run the downgrade pack and it will restore 2003; I had alot of problems with WM5; nearly killed my Ax. Then I ran the downgrade pack and it worked and used a Sprite backup to restore the 2003 settings etc. I am very happy with 2003SE; WM5 will be a nice OS when it works but at present it seems very patchy.

best of luck with the retsoration; if you have any trouble finding the file let me know and I can email the version I used just PM me - its a big file
