Cannot upgrade x50v to Mobile5
I just received the mobile5 upgrade CD two days ago for my Axim x50v.
I was able to upgrade ROM from 2003 A01 to 2003 A05 using the file download from Dell support site before without problem.
With the new CDs, I first upgraded ActiveSync to 4.0 without problem. When I tried to upgraded the ROM, it copied the ROM image to my Axim (which took only a few seconds, this is wierd b/c the image file is 41M, it should take minutes to sync to Axim). Axim claimed that it received the image file, upgraded and asked for a hard reset in seconds. After I hard reset, the operation system remained to be 2003 A05. And the upgrade program running on my desktop basically got stuck (it's a dialog without any button). I have tried it several times, also repeated the process on another XP professional desktop, same thing.
Anyone with similar experience? Anyone know how to get such support from Dell? I suspect somehow the image was not transferred at all.
I am also thinking of copying the IMG file directly to CF card, but I don't know how to force a ROM update on x50v. (There were threads mentioning power+reset+scroll+contact, but that's not for x50v).
Any help is appreciated.
