Updating Italian X50v A00 ROM

Hi all,
I bought a Dell Axim from Dell Italy and want to perform a ROM update. I currently have version A00 (11040400).
Does anyone know where I can get the Italian version of the A04 ROM (I presume that this is the latest), and why my ROM version seems to be so old ?
I have tried updating with the English version but it does a language check 1st and fails. I hear there's a hack to force the English ROM loading. Any ideas ?
Also, any ideas how to update without AC adapter ?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

No can do. It wants to make sure it has enough juice to complete the UpDate. Otherwise you might end up with a nice, expensive paperweight.

OK, I finally got the PocketPC loaded with an A04 English ROM but unfortunately that means that the MachineID changes and any program that relies on this will not work. Case in point: TomTom5.

If you got the Legal copy of TomTom5, and your ID has been changed, I think a"hack" is legal to, isn't it ?
