How to Flash Dell Axim x51v and install WM 6.1

[sibot]

Hey Everybody,
Heres a big hello to everyone, this is my first post here. My brother gifted me a Dell Axim x51v with Windows Mobile 6 Classic installed on it. He flashed it himself earlier on. Now, I'm wanting to install Windows Mobile 6.1 on it, but am pretty much lost on how to do so. I've never flashed my Dell before, so have no clue about it. If anyone could refer me a guide to do so, or help me out with it, it'd be much help!

Which is the best ROM to install? I've read up and seems like Lenny's is the best to Install. Is it stable on x51v?

Any help will be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sibot

Lennysh, didnt try them yet but Makuu has a sweet one out now with Voip embedded. Looks pretty sweet.

Hey, Thanks for replying. I'm looking into the football version. I don't really require VOIP support apart from Skype.

The football version has A03 and A07. Any idea which is the more stable version?

Also, I have 2 memory cards. CF and SD card.

On my CF card I store some programs. I plan to flash the ROM using SD card. Do I make sure that the CF card is not in the Dell Axim while flashing? Also do I delete the "Program Files" folder in my CF card on the new install?

Is there any way I can take a back-up of my current Dell Axim ROM? Incase if I mess it up, I can load it back on? I remember there was FUBAR when I used to flash my Siemens Cellphone, like a backup.

Regards,
Sibot

Do you mean all the files included in the rom image or all the files (ones that came with rom AND personal files)? If just the files in the rom image, you just need the nb0 file for a backup. If it's everything, use a backup program like Data Backup (not sure if came bundled with rom, ususally has) or SPB Backup.
