I use O2s. I just found that my message and PIE button under the screen did not work. It ever work as I remembered. I found this when I already flash ROM to WM5.
In Wiki instruction, we must do hard reset after flashing ROM and PH20B needs to press message botton after changing the 2 of 3 options to YES.
But It did not response. so I decide to do hard reset without changing the options ( power button + soft reset ).
So I wonder that the hardware of buttons ( message and PIE ) were damaged or I can change something in the registry to fix them.
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..

...about upgrading without camera button?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion,

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

Volume down + Center circle + Soft reset = Hard reset
Yesterday, I installed the custom firmware OTP 7.5. The thing was, that this firmware is in english and I needed a swedish one, so I entered regestry editor and changed a couple of things and mae the keyboard swedish. Everything worked perfect till then. When I tried these,
HKLM-SOFTWARE-MICROSOFT-INTERNATIONAL
Here you can add the desired language code:
ACP: Regioal setting (Hungary is 1252)
LCID: Language setting (English is 1033)
plus I changed the mui to the swedish, my phone wont enter windows and the usb cant connect now. It gets to the screen where it says "OT7" then it sticks there.
PLEASE HELP.
hard reset
If nothing else works, you should do a hard-reset (you said you've just flashed your phone, so there's almost no data loss).
how do I do a hardreset?
how do I do a hardreset?
Press both the soft keys and reset the phone but dont leave the two soft keys untill you see the hardreset screen,then press the green button. It will then perform a hard reset for you.
