for others pls make a POLL if your button is working or not in WM2005
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22737
Been a while since the POLL Shows that there are more people who has experiencing the non-working rec and cam button in Magneto than those has a working button. Up to this moment there are no single explanation why this is happening ..
But it is not the number that are very intriguing in the POLL but its BOOTLOADER version, because we can easily distinguish does people who have a working button than those has not working button
:arrow: If you have a BOOTLOADER 1.01, 1.02 or 1.03
Most Likely ALL your Button will work .. if it doesnt work .. just a little adjustment then it gonna work
:arrow: AND if you have a BOOTLOADER 1.04 and 1.05
The Record button will only work if it is turn off(press power off once) and the buttonlock is off but it will not work if the device is ON or Total OFF (press power off twice)
and Camera button is not working in any type of situation (ON, Suspend(press power off once), total OFF(press power off twice))
:arrow: BUT if you have 1.06 the results are mixed
if you are sure that your original Booloader Installed is 1.06, then same as those who have 1.04 and 1.05 your camera and record will not work if the device is ON
but some have a working button and has Bootloader 1.06 ..
im not saying that a ROM upgrade can upgrade the BOOTLOADER since it needs the bootloader to be Unlock or to be Unprotect before it changes the Bootloader which mostly of the Device Bootloader is Lock and Protected and im not sure if there is a ROM upgrade (.nbf) that can unprotect our Bootloader to Upgrade it although we had already a case in the past thread that bootloader is change due to rom upgrade..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=54696#54696
Heres My list of ROM version that contains Bootloader 1.06
1.66.00 WWE
1.66.00 ITA
1.66.00 WWE
1.66FRA
1.66.01 GER
1.72.00 WWE
1.72.01 GER
1.75.00 WWE
2.02.t1 WWE
2.20.07 CHS - both Translated and not
PS. I cant find yet a ROM Upgrade(.nbf) than contain 1.04 and 1.05 bootloader but some 1.60 ROM (NOT ALL) contains 1.03 Bootloader.
also 2.06.00WWE doesnt contain a bootloader (or bootloader is blank/empty)
Now we first extract and compare the bootloader of those who have working button and uses 1.06 with those is nonworking button and uses 1.06 bootloader

Suprising we FOUND no SINGLE DIFFERENCES AT ALL .. so it means that it is not the BOOTLOADER ..
BUT WE CANNOT CONFIRMED if no one will try to Downgrade there bootloader for those non-working and upgrade there bootloader for working button. And Downgrading and Upgrading the Bootloader is surely a very Dangerous thing that you will do to your device .. i once explain it in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=124909#124909
But Someone has to do it to end this Bootloader version Theory of non-working button .. and since im the KING of STUPIDITY .. i will do THis SimPLE STUpid ExpERIMENTATion to know if the Bootloader
is the MAIN Cause for a non-working Camera and Record BUTTON of SOME WM2005/WM5.0 user, including me ..

NEXT STOP .. BOOTLOADER 1.01 .. WATCH OUT ..
I would image at this point that its probably not bootloader so much as the hardware revision of the device, and probably older devices work, (which typically have older bootloaders).
The REAL experiment would be for someone with working keys to upgrade their bootloader, (like a 1.01 to upgrade to 1.06)...
(Ya I know,... NOT ME!.... :wink: ) Some other braver soul...
Actually Buzz might have done this? Buzz has 1.06, but did Buzz ever upgrade his bootloader?

SOme ROM Upgrade, mostly the OLD ROM WM20003 contains already a bootloader 1.06 like the 1.66 and 1.72 (or even 1.75) .. some older rom contains bootloader 1.03 like the 1.60 .. but this ROM will only upgrade/downgrade your device BOOTLOADER if you have unlock bootloader which is most of the case is LOCKED or Protected..
im not sure if there is a rom update that can unlocks the bootloader and change it .. but in the past there is http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=54696#54696 .. but in a case of anybody, (tnx my friend for all the info and help .. :wink: ), i believe it was updated and not originally 1.06 since he bought his device December 2003 and the bootloader 1.06 is built in Feb 18, 2004 .. .. and yet still he has a working Rec and Camera button .. but it was repaired in March 2004 so it could be also an update from the service center .. ..

No prob,
Does that mean that the 1.01 bootloader worked? As in your hardware keys are now working, or the downgrade was successful?
hi
i need to confirm yet and do more testing before i post the result of downgrading to bootloader version 1.01
anyway heres my initial FINDINGs
MY RECORD AND CAMERA BUTTON IS STILL NOT WORKING
-toe
Upgrade Bootloader 1.03 to 1.06
Ok, this is a dirty job but (as they say) somebody has to do it!
As suggested by James, maybe if somebody can volunteer to upgrade his bootloader, we can finally put to rest the issue of "not working buttons" as either related to the bootloader or any other thing.
So toe, I see you are successful in downgrading, if you may share & give me the steps to do the upgrade i'm willing to take the risk!
I have bootloader 1.03 & working buttons. I'm willing to try an upgrade to 1.06.
Let me know. Good luck in your experimentations..... :wink:
I find it odd that there could be a software difference that would stop hardware buttons working, and yet here we have it. 2002/2003/2003se all work fine, but put 2005 on and they brake.
the recent experiments in downgrading bootloader would suggest that its the actual hardware that is the problem, ie, later models (tend to have later bootloader) are less likely to work.
From this, I think its time somebody looked at how the buttons actualy interface with the hardware, and what the difference is. Because the phone buttons, the cam/note buttons and the contact/calender buttons all work on different methods.
We may have to resort to a hardware hack. It may be as simple as changing a surface mount resistor to alter the value that the buttons trigger the hardware or as complicated as changing the gpio pins, who knows.
Any hardware hackers wanna take a look?
god i wish this theory of bootloader wud go away ,i bought a secondhand xda2 of ebay last week it has 1.03 and it works fine.
one possible clue is unfortunately is to dismantle the device or remove casing and locate what REVISION the board is.which i will do 2morrow .at the same i will try and identify any obvious differences between the two.
my original device has 1.06 and works fine!!!!!
o still think its a driver issue
well i still think its a driver issue or hardware gpio version issue
if i m not wrong the rom its made for one single device and that device was probably old so
new ones have new ship version and dont work. bootloader is recent
old ones work
and then aggain some new ones works cos the way chip board are manufactured
an old stock off chips got int production in a more recent version of devices wich made some 1.06 bootloaders also work.
so check the driver compared with 2003 driver and the answer is hidden there........
ok i m an idiot full of ideias
god buzz will solve it
god toenailed will prove it
god xda2jojo will anounce it

hi rhmartin .. pls PM me your YM or ICQ bro .. we need to talk live in Upgrading your BOOLOADER .. my first downgrade to 1.03 .. took 1 minute to finish .. and yeah ive been praying that nothing will happen .. when i downgrade to 1.01 from 1.03 it only took 15seconds .. but when i upgrade to 1.06 it took almost 30seconds.. but when i downgrade again to 1.01 and now from 1.06 it took me also 36seconds .. anyway its more on your PC and PPC condition than the actual upgrading process .
wish you were in pHilippines so we can study and compare our device ..
anyway guys before i even try to downgrade my Bootloader id already ask a forumer who has a working button to open his device and i will open my device also and compare it with him .. i just had to confirm first using all bootloader that its not really a bootloader issue .. it will just take us too long since i cant find a forumer near to my place that has working button to compare it we only communicate thru IM ..
ONE MORE THING GUys .. anyone here has also BOOTLOADER 1.01 pls pm me .. id like to check and compare it with the one i got from JAMES .. im having some problems with 1.01 than with 1.03 .. id like to know if this is just me and my device or the problem is incompatiblity somewhere of bootloader itself ...
anyway JAMES have you try using an MMC bigger than 64MB .. i dont have a problem in SD card even in 1gb but if i use MMC it can only read first 64MB and it will hang there .. i already try it in 1.06 but i havent encounter that problem .. i remember in 1.03 that i dont a problem in that either .. anyway tnx again for the 1.01 ..

actually m with you that the problem is due to driver (or dll) and it can be fix with a patch or a new driver .. since we dont have this problem in old WM version .. maybe we just need to distinguish first wat causes the problem ..

Hardware
I have an old XDAII from Korea that came with 1.52 or something like that and a newer one from China with 1.66 with Chinese on it.
I have 2.20 Translated on both now.
The hardware is different.
I broke the screen on the China one and I took the screen out of the older unit. The connections would not even fit. Different hardware. :shock:
The China one is at www.PPCtechs.com now. When it comes back, I will flash them both with 2005.
If one works and the other does not... It will prove it is a hardware issue.
Volume slider program
Has any one tried this http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus_t.html It woks great on 2003 2.20 etc. If it works on 2005, even with only the two top buttons, you could have a total of SIX buttons. (two real and 4 virtual) If the Volume slider part works.. THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOO!
Please help me!

Try to flash a radio rom, and send me the USB Monitor capture exported in ANSI text format of all the radio rom flashing process.
Instructions for how to use USB Monitor are on the wiki "upgradin problems" page too:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
HElp me
Hello has a little lasted with me longer.
I hope you can help me at mine nevertheless problem!
Here is the ANSI file
The upgrade stops because radio bootloader doesn't answer to 'rerase' command after 3 retries. Repeat the steps on wiki "problem 5", do it several times. If you can't get it to work send it to repair centre.
hmm
would it use what if I make Rome one new completely, then?
gives it no questions possibility on the CID to circulate?
I don't understand what you mean.
Mummromeo, I also can't understand what you try to say. Send me a PM in german if you want to.
Another variation for this problem..
I am trying to recover my Smrtphone. I have a XDA First Trio. First I instaled a HTC ROM with bootloader 1.06. After I unlocked the SIM and CID. When I tried to install the ROM from Cirgular with Bootloader 1.04 the process stoped at 14% and now I have a mixed ROM with Bootloader 1.06... and I cannot unlock and install another ROM.... what I can do??? I am not an expert.. I dont know how to install DUmped Roms... I tried to follow the wiki but my device is locked and I dont know how to change the Key Entries.... HELP ME!!!! PLEASE
@rfgirardi: take any of the O2 XDA trion german ROMs found here:

Try to flash it while the device is in bootloader mode, if you're not successful flashing then try to flash from SD card as described here:

IMEI: Nothing..
Do you think I can try another procedure or just send the device to the workshop?

As you can boot OS it could be downgraded to bootloader 1.04, but with a corrupted radio.
This is what I got for updating by doing this:
"Bring your bricked TyTN back to live"

With doing this, this is the only solution that will get me far enough for the boot screen to actually go white. The rest of the Rom's or Radio's don't got anywhere past this.
I hope someone can help me, no solution anywhere? Not even the Softbank chip can help.

I have a HTC HERM200, I did a hard reset, the problem is that no radio version and no protocol version displayed device information in parameters and of course impossible to operate my pocket pc as a phone and call using it !

when typing 'rtask a', the answer is always command error !!!
how can I install the radio and is there a good version of WM6 compatible with my reference ?? if you can help me this will great for me
thanks !!!
Try reinstalling the shipped rom. You can also try a radio only rom but if neither of these 2 things work, you have a brick on your hands...
Sorry...
reinstalling shipped rom
thanks ultramag69 for your reply,
where can I download a good functional and compatible version for the shipped rom to my herm200 and how to proceed. I tried different version with unsuccess.
I tryed the 'HERM_Radinly_1.56.70.11_CustomRUU' using my sdcard proceeding with renaming the file .nbh to HERMIMG.nbh, the setup stopped at about 10%, and still there for more then 2 hours !!
installing with the usb cable stop always with error#262!
I wish I have a brick on your hands, this means that there is a way to recover the phone operational state !!
"Shipped ROM" means the rom that came on your Hermes. Generally a carrier has its own rom (you should be able to find on the carriers website).
Since you have Hard SPL on your Hermes use the sd card method.
1. format sd card fat32, copy .nbh file onto it & rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in Hermes.
2. Reset into bootloader - hold power,, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. hold in until tri-colour screen comes up.
3. If you did 1st 2 steps properly then follow the prompts.
This may take a while for the radio to install so give about 20-30 mins. Make sure you do this with a charged battery.
If this doesn't work then I'm sorry, but you have a brick...
You can still install an OS only rom but you won't have phone functionality again...
You can also try a radio only rom.. Above conditions apply...
Good Luck.
I have HT7 Phone it bricks during upgrading the SPL because it had WM5 and I went to install WM6
I can boot the Phone in Recovery Mode ( Holding the Camera Button and Boot ). Three Color Screen and I can communicate with the phone through the MTTY but during installing the Update it says ERROR 300
is there anyway to get the phone alive again ?
Thanks for your Help
** I have Kaiser and it's not mine , it was belong to my friend and I damaged his phone
PS : Phone is out of warranty and there is no service center here , also I can't use the JTAG Method
jafer mainly error 300 comes in when you are using wrong rom update utility... atleast in my case...after running spl pgm from phone and mtty program make sure you run the rom update utility inside the spl folder before running the rom update utility inside the rom folder... hope this helps.. and make sure that the rom is for old gene...
which spl its nowing at the tricolor screen now... oref or olipro?
which spl its showing at the tricolor screen now... oref or olipro?
