Can't put back OS on Dell PDA - General Questions and Answers

I recently updated my Dell X51V PDA to Windows Mobile 6.1 and I wanted to go back to Windows Mobile 5.0 but the problem is that all my computers are not Win 7 and not XP so I can use the Dell rollback software to overwrite the 6.1 and load 5.0. I know when I use Win XP it works fine and it does complete the installation but when I use Win 7 it gives an error message on the computer after the PDA says handshaking with pc. Is there a way I can put WM 5.0 back to my OS and use the A12 rom?

Well I guess I had to use my moms computer that had Win XP and I did install the original OS for the PDA. Maybe the only way to do it was to use an XP system.

Hasanyone tried to upgrade with vista???

I'm planning to buy a qtek s200.
Did anyone tryed to upgrade the rom using vista - i've read that active sync won't work with Vista.
In my opinion "Vista" do not require Activesync as it has some builtin system.

Click to expand...

it does not work,use the shearch funtion in the forum,there is allredy several threads asking the same thing.
Only on Vista 32 bit imho...
The upgrade software does not work correctly with any version of Vista, so if you want to brick your device try it
Vista has a new Mobile Device Center that replaces activesync. Don't try to upgarde with Vista. I maintain an old notebook as spare running XP just for flashing purposes. Or install XP on a different partition and flash from there.

Sync under Windows Vista

I used to have ivan's rom (old wm6 version) and it was working right with my windows vista computer (i updated it with my old wxp computer).
But I did the driver upgrade in windows vista for updating the rom to the beasty and lauren newest rom and now sync doesn't work. Even sync via Exchange of my company with wifi doesn't work in the machine...
It used to work perfectly before the update... what can be happening?
Regards
Installing the version of Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 was the resolution of my problem.

Flashing from Vista possible?

Hello,
in some Threads there is recommended to flash from Windows XP.
Does that mean it works better, more reliable from XP or does that mean it does not work from Windows Vista absolutely?

[Q] Is it safe to use VMware Workstation to connect to Zune and update to Mango?

Hello, I'm running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. I found out that Zune Software doesn't run on this OS. Since I am sick of repartitioning, formatting and installing OSes, I don't want to make new partition and install new OS. So it looks like the only way to connect my phone to Zune and update to Mango is to use a VMware Workstation Virtual machine with compatible OS (WinXP 32bit for example).
Is it safe to update to Mango using a VMware Virtual machine?
