Axim x5 OS upgrade?
(there is no pocket PC section so i posted here). I got an axim x5 (400 MHz) and i wanted to know where I could get the upgrade to Windows Pocket PC 2003? I know a while back dell offered this for free, but dell has discontinued support for the x5. Thanks ahead of time!

I think this maybe were I recieved my upgrade files for my X5 on E-bay. The exact ROM update that I received was P25_NK_H_07170300EN.IMG. This update took care of my Vista syncing problems as well as some other quirks that the X5 was having. Plus I dowloaded the activesync version 6.1 from the windows mobile website. After doing this my X5 came to life and would talk to my gateway laptop. On upgrading the bios, I had to manually copy this file (P25_NK_H_07170300EN.IMG) to a CF card. Then perform the manual keystrokes to start the X5 reading from the CF card. This started the ROM to flash up to the new bois file on the CF card. The key strokes are record button+reset button+contacts button. After pressing this sequence, release the reset button, then release the rest of the buttons. The new image file will be found on the CF card. It will start to load from the Cf card. Be sure and let the new read/write function complete or the new flash will not take causing problems with the X5.
