I'm stuck in the middle of upgrade to WM5 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi:
I was upgrading my BA using this tutorial:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade
But i cant go throu the 11step: My phone is a PHB20 and afther the power+softh reset instruction i try to do the instructions for my BA and they dont have any effect...
when i do the Power+Softreset+Camera+Record it goes to bootloader menu.
Any tips please :?:
Tks in advance

Yeah, try again, and again, and again... I usually have to do it 5-6 times before I finally manage to get in there.

Try This
Press soft reset and after you see the colored bars press at the same time the Camera + Record Button
No need to press power button

I've tryed that soma many times... but with no luck... looks like i whave to keep trying...
tks

Problem solved: downgrade and upgrade again

what worked good for me: FIRST press camera + record (for me it was windows media + record because PH20B1 device) AND THEN Softreset. Get directly into the menu.

HELP!!! Cannot enter 3 color Update mode any more !!!

Hi everybody
i use a
Orange SPV 3000 cid/sim unlocked
WM 6 NBD 7.3
IPL / SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0)
Now i tried to go back to the latest German ROM Update provided by ORANGE CH.
(RUU_Prodigy_21611_2161111_010410_OR_CH_GER_Ship.exe)
The Update Process start's on the PC Screen and remains on 0% and will terminate with ERROR [260]: UPDATE ERROR
The Phone hangs and cannot enter in "3 color update mode".
I have to take out and reinsert the battery to bring the Wizard back to Work.
Then the Wizard start's up and you can work without any Problems. (Exept you have to set the Date / Time again it is set to 2006-02-14 12:00)
Next Steps
- did a Reboot on the PC and the Wizard -> Same Result
- tried to Flash NBD 7.3 ROM again -> Same Result
- did a Hard Reset (press the 3 Buttons on Reset then Send Button ) and tried to Flash again -> Same Result
- tried to manualy enter Update mode (press Camera Button on Reset) with the same Result the "3 color update mode" will not appear
Has anybody a Idea what else i can do?
Tnx in advance for any HELP
when manually entering bootloader mode are still holding the camera button in after the reset button is released? I usually hold for about 5 seconds after the reset button is released. im sorry if that don't work for you. never heard of anyone having trouble not getting into bootloader before.

dear mdajunkie
now i can enter bootloader mode manually
looks like i did not hold the camera button long enough before
thank you very mutch for your HELP
I assume the Problem is locatet on the PC and have to find out why i can't flash my Device again.
Recently i changed something on the PC - I installed a external BlueTooth-Dongle from MSI including the MSI BlueTooth Software
Starting now with the easyest step - reinstalling Active Sync 4.5 and try again.
Regards
Now everything works fine
I tried to Flash a ROM and it work's
i did not change anything exept entering the bootloader mode manually once.(no reinstall activesync or deinstall bt software !)
May be entering the Bootloader Mode manualy "cured" my PDA?
i don't know
Regard's
im glad you got it to work. Most important thing is to read make sure you know how to and are confident enough flash roms. Makes things a whole lot easier. Atleast that way if something goes wrong you will be able to backtrack a lot easier and maybe explain your situation a whole lot better. Hope everything else goes wonderful for you and have fun man.

is upgrade to wm6 still possible?

I have an O2 XDA II2 with camera button not working (it needs to be
replaced) and with missing SD (I tried a 1GB Sandisk and 512MB Maxell).
I'd like to update to wm6 but after reading the nice guides in this site now I
know that I need that button during the process (...Quickly press "Record"
& "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right OR press "Power"
& "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time...)
My hope is that upgrading SD will work again.
So the question is: is it possinle to avoid the use of camera button?
In some forum I red that a missing driver (cab file in ext rom) should cause
problem with sd access: is it true?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Gianni
i had a tought time fighting my sd card reader too, but i found out a part which is loose when i ripped my BA apart, i uses a cardboard to depress on it then screen back, this way, the cardboard will apply pressure on the point which is loose. it works again and perfectly fine now..

Thanks for yor suggestion.

...about upgrading without camera button?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion,
Gianni
Hi Gianni.
If you are upgrading to WM6 from a lower version, i dont think you need a CAMERA button.
All you need to do is download a WM6 (Helmi, PDAViet, Xplode) and set the BA to SERIAL mode by holding down power button + record button(the one above camera) + soft reset.
The step will bring you to serial mode and then you can connect the BA to the computer. The BA will then change from SERIAL mode to USB mode.
Now you can install the WM6.. =D
Hope it helps.. for atleast it works for me.. without the cam button
oh btw..
the method of : Power button + Soft reset then Record + Camera
this is for hard reset. not upgrading..

Ok, but I need to press RECORD+CAMERA+RESET at the end of the upgrade
process to get an hard reset and RECORD and CAMERA to select and set
the right values for
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
It should be necessary as far as I know.
Isn't it?
Thanks for your help,
Gianni
hi Gianni,
you NEED NOT hard reset..
Skip everything and just proceed to -> Power button + Soft reset then Record + Camera
Proceed to put BA in dock after seeing Serial, and install wm6 after serial changed to USB..=)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
This is for hard reset, not required for installing new firmware, because by installing a new firmware = hard reset already.. LOL
Thanks again for your answers.
Do you mean "Power button+ Record + Soft Reset" instead of

"Power button + Soft reset then Record + Camera"?

Excuse me if I was unclear but the problem is that I can't use the camera button as it doesn't work.

how can I Upgrade my Xda II if my camera and record button is broken? :(

Help, help!!!! (
Certainly when upgrade from WM03 to WM06, we all must go to the boot loader option to clean registry, disable KITL, clean storage...etc . However,poor me, I have an XDAII with broken record and camera button, so that I can not get in Boot Loader ( Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton )
So could any one solve this problem?
many thank!!!!
As this is a mechanical problem, - you can't press buttons, which are physically not there -, there is no software solution!
A little workaround might be possible, but untested yet:
As it is not necessarily so, that you have to do a hard reset to end upgrading,
you can try to skip it, in case the last thing you did in WM2k3(SE) was a hardreset.
There should no difference to a fresh upgraded system, which had done a hr afterwards, but it's untested!!!
To do a hard reset on a running WM5 or WM6.X system, you can try to downgrade, hardreset WM2k3(SE) (As I remember this OS does use this buttons to hr) and then upgrade again. It looks wierd, but might work.
For cookers only:
I suggest to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510805,
as it's a WWE rom without camera-function for cooking.
Delete everything that belongs to the camera to get a little bit more sectors to fill with apps and proggis you need.
Thank so much for your helping, your guiding is quite clear and detailed but....it's not work surely. The way to get in boot loader depend on model of Xda, not depend on the version of rom. The Himalaya use fomular "Reset +Camera + Button" permanent whatever u use any wmXX
Well, I use Powerbutton -DPad -Reset to enter bootloader. No use of Camera button there.
In WM2k3(SE) the hard reset is powerbutton and reset, as I remember, please correct me, if I´m wrong.
Still no use of the missing button.
Enter bootloader and flash, then try to skip hard reset. Although it is better it is not needed.
To do a hard reset on a running WM5/6.X system use the tool of post#18 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351811&page=2
Change options to allow hardreset, tap on left upmost icon twice, tap and hold hardreset and run selected.
Voila, no button needed!!!
Tap the icon left of the '?' and enter anything you want. Congratulations.

Vol Down+Power Buttons are not working when trying to flash!!!

Hi,
I've searched alot for this kinda problem but it seems I AM the only one who has this problem.
I had succesfully installed R2AA0010 UK ROM 4 months ago using Micro SD Method, but now when i'm trying to upgrade it to R3A version the Volume Down+Power Button is not working and I can make it to tri color screen. (Just nothing happens)
I've tried SSPL Manual as well but it stops on screen "Loading..." and nothing is happening!
Please help!!!

how to hard reset then?
EDIT: I've found how to hard reset but when i'm pressing the silver buttons they're also doing nothing. (The WM will come up normally)
I think i'm gonna lose it
You can just load the bootloader from the windows directory...
I think it is called botloader.exe
there is only 1 o... try to open that .exe bootloader should show up and you are ready to flash.

Use clear storage to hard reset....and if you are doing sd card method maybe you forgot to rename your file into kovsimg.nbh or whatever it's suppose to be

Yes, I can go to tricolor screen through windows but as i said it will stop at "Loading..." screen. I've read the instructions and I renamed it to kovsimg.nbh as well.
I cannot hard reset using the silver buttons but I did it with clear storage icon! but nothing changed!!!!
I think my topic is correct, I didn't mean that my vol down and power buttons are corrupted or damaged, I mean It's not working when i'm trying to flash!
Any Idea?

Yes, that's what I exactly did! But the normal windows will come up!
HR through settings
another way to hard reset it to go
start > settings > system tab > clear storage
then press 1234 and press yes
maybe your spl is a bit damaged cause you can't hard reset and you can't flash sspl
try flashing hspl again
to hard reset
switch off
press both silver buttons
just press power button briefly, dont hold power button.
keep pressing both silver buttons till reset screen
hope this helps.
Holy crap you guys I do not know why I triple posted...

Next time you can call this screen the bootloader screen... don't call it volume down and power button because it is very misleading...

U need to copy Rom which U want to upgrade to SD card. If u want cooked room so flash Hard-SPL, and then it will automatically install rom U want. or if stock Rom so flash Hard-SPL back to stocks.

if i only could acces the internal storage, put a rom on it, and do a flash with hard reset buttons, then it could be back 2 live but now
Can you get it into bootloader? {Hold Vol. down button while pressing power}
If it will go into bootloader, you can flash from there.
It worked
1. i've put it in bootloader [Hold Vol. down button while pressing power]
2. connected the diamond to my pc with USB-cable
3. Install the original rom
Thx supersanj
