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...

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.
Hi...
As in topic, I've a PDA with damage power button
Is possible to go in Boot Loading Mode without use this button, maybe exist another combination or some utility to put pda in this state?
Iam not sure but isnt in the upgrading tools (Helmis ROM) an EnterBL.exe?
When I flash (other BAs in my pool) an original WinCE image from mi provider it automaticaly sets the device in bootloader mode.
BUT your next problem is that you can NOT hardreset the device without a working powerbutton!
Yes it is
But EnterBL.exe running from MDA take no effect
Yes the original one do that automatically, but for example Helmi's don't.
I may Hard Rest with: "Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right" - I think .
i try to upgrade my pda2k with wm6...but screen remain with 4 stripes coloured...so i would to know if is possible to came back in wm2003.
thank you.
Yes, you can back to wm2003. By same as you upgrade to wm6. First of all, you might be have lastest official wm2003 or what ever you want. Then make your BA into boot loader mode (Power, REC and Reset at the same time), display will shown you "USB Serial. Put it to cradle or cable that connect to PC. Run your official rom and following the instruction.
thank you!
and where i can take this 2003 rom for my pda2k?
thank you
before you do... try to "Hard Reset" your WM6 first....
Steps:
1. Stick the reset button.
2. Quickly press and hold the two side buttons
(record + camera) simultaneously before the hardware display.
3. Select No Yes Yes in the given option
(press record to navigate on the three option)
(press camera to toggle Yes/No)
4. Press your mail button....
or second button from the left of your four button shortcut keys.
5. (optional) Cross your fingers and kiss your phone.
i've had that problem when i flashed mine with Xplode's ROM and that solved the problem.
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.
I will try it this evening.
...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"?

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.
