Cannot install Android due hardware button failure. What to do? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi all, my D-Pad center button doesn't work.
So I did some research and found out it would be possible with A-Tools to install.
So I generated a install-seq.sh, and put it in andboot. But it never runs .
Is there another way to fake the d-pad center button input? Like another button or such?
Or a build that contains a system.ext2 and such (the older builds), which don't require the d-pad center to be pressed.
I really need this phone to boot android.
Thanks!

Press and hold the centre of the screen during install instead of dpad centre, should still work.

Thanks for your reply, but your solution didn't work .
How accurate do I have to press in the middle, like exactly in the middle?
Don't I need to let haret know my screen calibration first?

You need to provide more details as to which roms you have tried...
I don't recall any of the roms posted here have issues with the talk button.
yours v3.0 biggy and aserg's
The Talk button...which is on the touchscreen... is not working?
or
the Send button.. the physical button on the phone..is not auto-redialing?
sorry the physical button. when im at the today screen and i press the talk button nothing happens, wing just lights up. if the phone screen is up and i press the button it will work. i like being able to get to the phone screen by just pressing the talk button
Broken phone? Try a reflash to OEM and see if the problem persists.
it's not broken...
it's the dialer that ur using.
can u give me more detail?? thank you

I such hear the first time. There should not be such problems. Search for the program which to you spoils
If the actual hardware GREEN KEY is the one that doesn't work ... and it doesn't work under various ROMs ... it sounds like most likely its the actual button that's broken and not a software issue.
maybe you should try to have your phone replaced under warranty?

Okay,
So your saying that this did not happen when you were using the original rom.
Then try and reflash back to the original tmobile rom.
Please report back your findings.
he's saying the problem is he pushes the "Send" key.. and it does not automatically dial the phone number.
but.. if the virtual phone or dialer screen is open, then pushing the send key does initiate the call.
if it was the sensor under the key... then it would not light up.
i'm assuming it's because of the dialer.. maybe needs a registry tweak to fix it how he likes.
it doesn't work if you push the send key twice?
also... if you hold it for too long, the dialer will not initiate...so try only pushing it and not holding it down.. :-/

Soft Reset button on Diamond ??

hi all, Diamond newbie here. Any program to soft reset by pressing button on screen? I need to remove the back cover everytime to reset the device. Is there any better way? Thanks
Remove the back cover? Just take out ur stylus, put it an angle, and press the red button?
Put in angle? I did try few times. It is not easy to access. Just thinking of any software to do the job. Thanks anyway.
Hold down the power button and you are given the option to soft reset. IF the device has crashed and this doesn't work, then as said above, remove the stylus and hit the button there.
There is a little software somewhere on this forum called reset.cab that does exactly what you want.

Little problem with "End Call" Button

Hello guys,
I´ve got a little Problem with my diamond.
I´ve set up my "End Call" button to lock the device, if pressed a few seconds.
Sometimes after a call this does not work. Instead of locking the phone, the button acts as "Cursor right" button and scrolls trough the tf3d tabs ...
Putting the phone into sleep mode and wake it up again makes the button act as normal.
I had this problem with the original T-Mobile 1.93 Rom, and also with AZTOR V7, which I flashed a few days ago (great ROM btw. )
Any ideas?
I guess you need to press it accurately, try to press it as much right and bottom as possible

No, it´s definitely not a hardware problem. It works again, if you put the phone to sleep for a second, or if you reconfigure the call end button in the system settings.

volumen down button broken, any utility to enter tricolor, without using a PC ??

Hi
After too may flashing my "volumen down button is broken"
do you know if there is an utility to enter "bootloader or tricolor" from the device? I normaly use the sd-card methond for flashing and I don't use a PC
Thanks!
Note:
I have found "enterBl.exe" from Universal is this safe to use ?
The actual buttons are actually beneath the cover. The cover buttons press on them.
Or is it actually the real buttons that are broken?

the real button is broken :-( the litle metal is gone :-(
There is an enterbootloader.exe (or something like that) in HSPL package. This should get you to tricolor screen.

Can't access bootloader/Broken camera button

My camera button is shot and the regular method of accessing the bootloader is impossible for me. Are there any other options for me?
Sorry, no.

Yes, I believe that's what he means. Sputnikk23, do you have Windows Mobile installed or Android? If you have Windows Mobile installed, it can definitely be done. If you're on Android, I'm not so sure.
it was stock rom wm 6.1;
currently installing nfs
I ended up taking it apart to try to fix button; accidentaly broke it off. poked the button out, put it back together and now I just short circuit it.
doing it as per the guide to install android though
hopefully i don't need the camera button for anything essential...

crap... you need it to back out of stuff.. can you change that in android?
i'm in qwerty keylayout in /system/usr/keylayout and i can't figure out what my end key is mapped to. when i press it it blacks out the phone? sometimes comes back by itself, sometimes i have to hit power. just comes back to whatever i had before it blacked.
and what is the left softkey supposed to do? and what is the "home" button? the power key?
and i cannot get win7 to install the usb drivers. implies they are for 64bit when they are clearly not.
I DID IT! I remapped the "End" key to "Back" instead of "END CALL".
You can end call with the touch screen, only thing I"m missing is manual sleep which it will do auto in 30 secs. Anyone know of a widget I can put on home screen to do it manually?
Also, shouldn't SOME key take me instantly back to home screen?
If anyone needs instructions for layout change - I can write up a tutorial.
key- re-map!
i would love a tutorial! ive been tryin to figure out how to do this for a while!
im running NAND, Myns warm donut
The camera button on my Vogue was sketchy and then finally died. I opened it up and the microswitch had dislodged. I am not great at soldering, but it was an easy fix. I just pushed it back into place, bent the retaining "ears" back around the switch, soldered the ears together to hold it better, and finally just touched the leads to the switch to reflow them. It took much longer to open the phone and put it back together than it did to resolder. It took maybe 30 minutes, start to finish and it was well worth it, IMO.
