Googling on "dell axim x50v windows mobile 6" will turn up some links that might be relevant.

It was googling on that that got me as far as I did.
No, the update program I referred to runs from the Windows desktop and uses the sync program to update the ROM via the USB connection. The parameters seemed to check out properly before I hit the execute button. (I got the update program from one of those developer sites folks have referred to above.)
I'm thinking it's possible that the updater was designed to run from XP with ActiveSync, rather than Win 7 with Windows Mobile whatever that replaced ActiveSync.
UPDATE: That was indeed the problem. I moved the operation to my XP machine, and the updater appears to be working. (It's a lengthy process. I'm waiting now while it reformats the flash memory.) When this is done, I hope to have a working WM 5. Then there's an update to that I need to apply. After that, I can think about trying the WM 6 ROM.
