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,

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

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

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.
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.

It dose not manual.
download the rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
then go into bootloader [looking for how to now] bootloader is tri-colour screen
and run the exe from that download
you should be ok after that
to get to bootloader, try holding volume slider down and then soft-reset, or try up and soft-reset
the bootloader is usually side-of-device button combinations.
if those dont work, try the ront buttons and the reset button
Rory
Did it come with a CD? I think there was a copy of the manual for my Touch on the CD that came with it.

You should use that as a motto.
go to bootloader is:
hold down button and press (red) reset button
Bingo! This is the same as what the manual said. YJ

I found that the manual is wrong. The way to perform a hard reset of the Touch Diamond2 is:
1. With the Touch Diamond2 switched off, press the volume up and down buttons simultaneously.
2. Keeping them pressed, use the stylus to briefly press the red soft reset button (you’ll have to remove the back of the Diamond2 to do this).
3. Release the volume buttons when a message flashes up to say, “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.”
4. Press the volume up button.
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.
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.
