Need WM6 Crossbow for O2 Atom Life

Ryzza5 said:

Hi

I have an O2 Atom XDA (don't think it's a 'Life' version). Am I able to update this to Windows Mobile 6? Is there a way to backup the current OS, etc in case things go sour?

Links and instructions would be much appreciated.

Dear o2xda_atom

If you have minisd card,you can try this method.

1.download two files from
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Atom/ATOMLIFE_MiniSD/AL1.DIO
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Atom/ATOMLIFE_MiniSD/ExRom.img
2.put two files to minisd card root directory.
3.boot to bootloader mode,then you will see upgrade to proceed.

Sorry about my poor english.I hope this can help you.

Hello

After the package file release,you will find two files FLASH.DIO & ExRom.img!
Then you must do this method to modify these two files.
1. Download WinHex or UltraEdit

dhigby: WinHex is paid with no trial. UltraEdit is fully functional during trial.

2. Open FLASH.DIO,delete first 12 Bytes Data,then save it to AL1.DIO

dhigby: using UltraEdit, you press Ctrl-D when the cursor is at the beginning of the file and it asks how many bytes to delete. Enter 12 and press Enter.

3. Open ExRom.img,delete first 12 Bates Data,then save it.
4. Put these two files AL1.DIO & ExRom.img to minisd card.
5. reset Atom Life to bootloader mode,O2 Atom Life will upgrade itself.
