flashed Dell Axim X50v (any chance to fix that?)

[d4mj4n]

Hi,


When performing downgrade from 2005 -> 2003se, I followed onscreen messages, but Axim is black/dead/ dunno what to do to "make him alive again" !?!?!

I searched a bit forums and found out that:

In a few seconds, you'll be prompted to do a hard reset by pressing the power and reset buttons simultaneously. Ignore this message. What you want to do is hit the power, wireless, and reset buttons again.

(How to downgrade a Dell Axim X50v the hard way - Download Squad)

What I did is power/reset... :(

Is it possible to fix it not sending it so service?

I still have warranty by Dell, but I am not sure if they will cover that...

I used the following images for downgrade:
WM2003SE_A05_EN_X50v

with this filenames:
WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0
WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN_nb0.crc
WM50_K_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0
WM50_K_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN_nb0.crc

Current version running on Dell was AximX50v_WM5_A01_EN.

Thanks for any help and suggestions...

FIXED it :)

I did find solution, see described in next few lines:

It's working now...

After taking battery out, inserting it back... putting boot/image on sd card...

This is crucial: combination and timing

1. wifi+power button (pressed - hold them) + reset (quick press/release), in meantime hold wifi+power buttons and release them when loader menu shows!, (WM50_B_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0)
2. !!!VERY IMPORTANT STEP!!!

A) device tells you to hard reset device (power + reset), DON'T do that!!!
what you need to do here is wifi+power, then quickly press reset button (less than a second) in the meantime you need to hold buttons (wifi+power) until boot menu appears

3. choose this WM50_K_A05_X50v_WM2k3SE_EN.nb0, confirm it 2 times and wait for round 15min!

4. the result is: alive DELL with 2003se os, test this, 100% success guaranteed!!!

SUN with BIG SMILE appeared to me after DARK clouds

Cheers!

Or you could have seen my sticky on "Easier way to recover your X50(mid) + premade nb0 files" and used the X50v images in place of the X50(mid) images (you still need to find the rom images on your own.
