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.

Hi there.
Is there any alternative method to enter bootloader instead of using PWR button and reset and rec.
I can't enter that way, because my PWR button has screwed up. And i want to give device to service to repair within warranty. But before i must load my opearator rom. If i give them device with i-mate rom, they will say (i'm pretty sure for that) that it is my fault, and they won't repair device within warranty because i've loaded different software than my operator software.
So i must revert to Polish ERA rom before i go, but how to do that without PWR button ?
thx

I've handled the problem. The stuck power button wasn't hardware problem but software. I think it is a i-mate 1.40 rom bug. I've tried to hardreset but without success. Then i've tried to hardreset, 2 times one after another, before any soft loads, and it works. After soft from extended rom being installed on hard resetted device, PWR works well.
Hi Everyone,
First, please forgive me my English - it is not my native language.
After year and a half of using BA(PH20B1, German O2) with Windows 2003 I decided to upgrade to WM2005. Everything was good until the moment after upgrade, when I suppose to hard reset and then press "Record" and "Windows Media" buttons (p.9 in Helmi Rom AKU 3.2 installation instruction). After hard reset I am getting screen with color stripes and after the moment radio version information (strange, should not it be both radio and rom version?) appears (R 1.10.00).
Whatever I try ("Record" + "Windows Media"+ Reset or "Record" + "Windows Media" + Power + Reset) I am not able to got screen with three options. I am stuck either on color stripes screen or go to bootload screen (Serial v2.07).
Can anyone be so kind and help me? I can flash it back to previous version but I really would like to have WM2005.
Thanks in advance,
Bitwise
have you tried pressing "power + soft reset" first and after a split-second, tap and hold on "camera + record"? that should bring up the three options.
i gather you refer to the "camera" button as the "windows media" button?
it's strange your unit does not display the rom and extrom versions, together with radio, upon bootup...
Yes, I have tried this with the same negative result...
press reset button, and before radio and rom versions show on screen press and hold record and camera(windows media) buttons
I have tried it too. I think the problem is related to the fact that it is something wrong with rom itself. The upgrade process finishes without any errors but after reset I can see only radio rom version...
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

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.
I tried to search so if this is a re post im forreal sorry.. but i dled a CDMA rom and started a bootload .. and now im locked out..
Grey screen .. no button response.. Someone re assure me im not dead in the water.. .
I appreciate it... "Read twice flash once" right.. hopefully my phone will survive the live and learn process with me.
try a hard reset
Hard Reset (This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging)
With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND and END/HANG UP buttons, then the press and hold the POWER button until you see this message on the screen.
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press ?VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
(procedure found in Wiki)
Tmo or ATT?
both have official roms out, or found in a thread, i would try the correct one for your phone...
best of luck to you... i hope everything turns out ok

Are you able to enter bootloader mode (restart the device when holding down the VOL down button)?
If so - load a GSM ROM to the root of your SD card. and name it RHODIMG.nbh instead of ruu_signed.nbh. Then enter bootloadermode. You will have to press the powerbutton to flash the "update", and then soft reset with your stylus after update (or take out your battery).
Hope it sorts out
Hard reset isn't going to do anything if you've put a GSM ROM on your CDMA phone. You should be able to get into the bootloader though, as Novek has said (try pressing "reset" with the Volume Down button held down), then you can re-flash a CDMA ROM.
