When i copy it into my SD and install it from there, will it delete the items in the SD card? Many of my programs are installed in the SD card. Does it mean after copy the .dio to SD card, i go to file explorer and click the application and thats all?
In the first page of the thread, there are many WM6 Roms. Which is the best?
ok here's how.
ATOM LIFEsd card flashing wont affect any files or delete any files in ur sd card.
installation method:
1) download the file from the download link provided on the above. either rar or zip or direct .dio file. the file shud be about more or less 50mb-70mb
2) extract if needed.
3) requirements for SD card rom flashing:
-ur sd card MUST be less than 2GB
-ur sd card MUST be formated to FAT16 format(you'll see tis from ur pda), or FAT format(you'll see tis from ur desktop/laptop)
-make sure your PDA is either fully charged or have at least 70% battery to avoid power interuptions during flashing. charging wont occur during flashing even if ur pda is plugged to a power source or usb.
4) place the AL1.dio rom into ur sd card. place at the ROOT of ur sd card(not in folders, or sub-folders).
5) INSTALATION starts. not by clicking the .dio file or etc...
6) jus press hold of the recording button(the button on top of the camera button on the right of ur PDA), then use the stylus to press the reset button below ur pda. if done correctly, then ur pda will go into a black screen with some words showing.... blar blar blar
-> ***MiniSD Detected*** => waiting 100%

Press Record + Reset, leave Reset first. after a sec, leave record.
take note, tis process mayb troublesome at times, as the timing sometimes play an important role. else, ur device will jus soft reset as u poke n leave the reset button. i had to try it a few times as well. but no worries.
7) wait till it finish. try not to do anything. the process shud take bout 5mins. then ur pda will auto reboot.
8) enjoy ur newly installed rom.
ATOM Exec, XDA Atom, Atom Pure may use the above method if file is in .dio format.
How to Upgrade the ATOM OS using SD Card Flashing:
Requirement: 256MB/512MB miniSD or less (tested to fully work) | 1GB miniSD or more (not supported)
1) extract diskimage_Ver.nb0 from Atom ROM Upgrade
2) edit nb0 file using hex editor
3) remove 12-byte header (08 00 00 00 30 34 32 36 30 36 31 31) and save file as diskimg.nb0
4) copy diskimg.nb0 into miniSD
5) enter into bootloader mode: CAMERA+RESET
6) wait for downloading of OS to finish
7) it is natural to see error messages like ('couldn't find file....') because we only loaded the one component for update
8) After a successful update, it will automatically HARD RESET.
Warning! You will brick your device if you mess with the bootloader. The bootloader is only updated on special cases as described in the upgrading problems.Bootloader files:
DONT MESS WITH THESE FILESdiskimg.nb0 - OS file
eboot.nb0 - bootloader file
dm.nb0 - Diagnostic Manager utility
flash.img - full image of PXA272's IntelStrataFlash memory, 64MBytes
aget.mot - dealer/distributor data (not verified)
mot.mot - radio file (not verified)
CPLD.img - Xilinx CPLD firmware
assetInf.img - ???
extended.img - hidden partition image
MDOC.img - DOC partition image (not verified)
oh ya... i think you lucky or what la.
i check the roms links ady, all are .exe format.
shud be using dsuu method(easier with step by step update utility but takes a longer time).
