Dell Axim x5 2003 Upgrade (requested by alienhunter)

Overview: This will install the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system on your Dell Axim x5.

2. Open PPC2003 archive to extract the files contained to your Hard Drive.
3. Take a Compact Flash (I used a 64MB Compact Flash Card) and Format it with your PC.
4. Go to the folder where you extract the files in step 2 and copy to the root (not in a folder) of the Compact Flash Card, the file "P25_NK_H_07170300EN.IMG" (That is the ROM of PPC2003). There is another .IMG file in the directory of "P25_NK_H_07170300EN.IMG" (if doesn't work then try the other .IMG file). The archive is big, between 25 to 31MB may be more or less but must be big.
5. Insert the Compact Flash Card with the .IMG file into your Axim X5.
6. Remove Backup Battery and leave it removed, don't insert until you have finished PPC2003 installation.
7. Remove Main Battery and insert it again.
8. Remove and reinsert your Compact Flash Card.
9. Make this combination of Keys: Push RESET + PRESS SCROLL IN BUTTON + CONTACTS BUTTON + POWER
10. Remove your fingers from RESET and POWER BUTTONS but continue to press the SCROLL IN BUTTON and CONTACTS BUTTON for about 20 seconds. THIS MAY TAKE MORE THAT ONE TRY.
11. Soon you will see a white screen with information about ROM and RAM.
This is the boot of the pocket. It will detect the .IMG file from CF card and will continue to erase the ROM and copying the new ROM from CF Card.
12. After completing installation just follow the instructions that appear on your screen and you have Windows Mobile 2003.
