[ALTERNATIVE] How to upgrade your Dell Axim X50 to Windows Mobile 5.0

-EDIT: Links have been updated!-

This is the alternative way to upgrade your Dell Axim X50 to WM5.0. Some people may not have a proper functioning Axim cradle like mine, so this is the way how to update to WM5.0 without using the PC updater!
You guys demanded it, so I did it. The final rendered product was 1.2GB's.

WARNING: This is NOT for Dell Axim X50v! If attempted, you will brick your Axim!!!
Yes, this will work on Dell Axim X50 lows.

One more thing. Is their a utility upgrade for the x50 low to get WI-FI on it??

[MrSteelyRevolution4]

@badfish61063 No. Wi-Fi is built in by hardware. Not software.

My axim x50 is a MID running a05. I just wanted to check to see if this update will work. Im kind of new to this (just got a used one today) and im not sure what "bricked" means? Any help is much appreciated!!

[MrSteelyRevolution4]

@badfish61063 It will.

Bricked means that the devices firmware is corrupted and the device is rendered unusable.
