I recently purchased two M88 Miphones from China (Windows Mobile 6.0 version). Both were supposed to be in English but when they were shipped to me, one was in English and the other Spanish. How can I change the language from Spanish to English? Or maybe I can install an entirely new English version of Windows Mobile 6.0? Can I extract the ROM from the English one and use it for the other (Spanish) one? Please help. Thanks.
It's great to find a way to install or restore the Windows on M88. My one just died. I haven't access to anything but the "phone" functions, so i need to restore it somehow from my PC. Some advices?

Hi, I think there is a way to change your Windows to English. I received the same phone with the same problem. I wrote to the supplier and they respond with the decision: they provided the original english WM6 ROM for M88 MiPhone on the website, so you can download it from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/168534489/DX.SKU16783.UPDATE.ENGLISH.AUG01.rar
But my problem is that I can't go in to the bootloader mode - just don't know how so to start loading the Windows OS. The instructions on the site are very poor and don't work. So I'm stuck again. Here there are the instructions:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
And some more instructions from my correspondence with the supplier, which shows different way of putting the phone in to the bootloader mode:
"we have a better idea to solve this inconvenience for you
we had updated a file on our website for you
you can download it and put it in your memory card to update the language into English.
you can put the file in the memory card no need to creat a folder for it
and insert the card into your cellphone
press the power bottom and the home bottom together
a few second later there would be a message on the screen shows you can press the home bottom again to restart the cellphone"
So maybe you can see they are showing different ways to enter the boot loader. Neidher 2 of them are working for me.
Since I have this phone I didn't find a way to enter the bootloader mode! I tried every combination between the keys but NOTHING! The only thing what I can do with the buttons is SWITCH OFF, SOFT RESET AND HARD RESET.
Please if somebody discover how to do that on that phone -M88 to share here with the rest of us!
Best of luck!

Hi, I'm From Brazil
I'm selling this phone here in my country.
I think I've got same problem here. But I've tried to get bootscren and it seems to be that procedure correct.
Once you shutdown the phone first remove it battery for 10 seconds, and than put back into the phone. Than press power and home(that center buttom) until phone show 2 messages(one for master boot and other for clear boot).
After this message you may release power buttom and keep pressing home buttom untill phone shows it boot screen.
You will face a "downloading program, please wait" message on phone screem
But be extremelly carefull than, make sure you have a power cable attached to the phone and it battery at least 90% charged because update took lot of time sometimes.
I'm telling that because today I have one M88 "dead" in my hands because I did not followed all this procedure and after 35 minutes, by mystake I pressed reset buttom.
Now my phone not even turns on, nor charge it battery, is dead.
But I think using one of those "BOX" devices I will ressucitate it!
Thanks m8!
The thing is that when I press the 2 buttons at once I can only get blue screen for less than 1 second and after that Windows is loading. When it is done - the phone is after hard reset. I've tried hundreds of times - always the same. I can't get messages asking me to load software - only hard reset is the result. I've tried any other combination, including the reset buton under the cover, next to USB, but never managed to enter the service mode or boot mode or whatever it is.
One week I'm wasting my time in doing hundreds of attemts to enter the bootloader and nothing! How then do you make a hard reset on the M88?
Do you thing if I can use backup from english version of the same model that will change the situation - the spanish will be substituted by english? And if it's possible can you upload such a backup, made by Spb backup software for me, please?
Best regards
I have stupid problem. Some files disappeared, some programs stopped working and the entire system blocked. I made many soft and hard resets, which fixed the things... for a while. After one hour it's blocking again, without any settings, or interventions.
I downloaded the ROM, created a "root" folder in the card and unzipped everything there.
The thing is that it ROM-boot looks too fast - only couple of minutes. Can it be?

But be pretty calm when performing update or you gonna get a bricked phone.
But is it possible that the update takes only few minutes? Or i'm doing only hard reset?

How to install WM6 ROM - English version on M88 MiPhone from SD card
Please download the original ROM from here
I was adwised to do this:
1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"
2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32
3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.
4. There are two possible options from here:
a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."
b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -
5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart.
After the restart it will load the English OS on your M88
Enjoy
the mine is dead too.

M88 english bootloader
Here is the fix, sponsored by wirelessandmorestore.com
Copy both of these files to your computer.
http://uploading.com/files/YE6JJ36Y/update.img.html
http://uploading.com/files/TA1N0MBA/uploader.img.html
Plug in your phone and copy them to the SD card.
Turn the phone off.
Press the button on the top and the round button on the face at the same time and continue to hold it. As you are holding it, the phone will turn and go thorugh a couple steps before it says something like 'downloading image' or 'updating image' something like that.
Once it gets to that screen, you can let go of the buttons and the phone will update and reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. It will be in English when it turns itself back on and loads Windows.
English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) for M88 MiPhone
Please download from here
If somebody knows how to enter the bootloader mode of this phone please share here with us!
Here is the instruction for this procedure from the supplier which is nor working for me:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
If somebody can manage to install the ROM please write here the steps!
Thanks!
You can get to the flash update by pressing RESET, MENU, and POWER all at the same time, then release RESET first and wait for a message. The message will tell you to release POWER to do a hard-reset or MENU to do a flash update. In this case, you will release MENU first, then you will get a message asking if you want to update from SD. At this point, none of the buttons do anything so I assume you have to tap the touchscreen. My touchscreen is broken so I couldn't get any further than this.
Problem Fixed!

Check this out:
Resco explorer
Pocket Mechanic
Pocket Toolman
Resco is very useful thing so the other two are very powerful as well. You will definetely uninstall S2U2 with more than one of them.
Good luck!

i have a daxian +999
i flash it whit that file it work but now i have a white screen the phone looks like ok but nothing shows in the screen only a white screen what i can do ??
My touchscreen does work but I get the white screen asking me "updated from SD card?" then it just sits there. I dont have a keyboard to hit Y. None of the buttons do anything. Touching the screen does nothing.
*edit* figured it out. You just keep holding the power button down. Then it flashed to a solid purple screen. I went wtf.... it screwed up again? then after a few minutes it booted up.
problems in m89
hello, I recently bought a M89.
In general the phone is great, but mine has a very big problem.
As a PDA it works great, but when I insert my SIM card the phone just freezes. It works for just a minute after the SIM is inserted. I've even been able to make one or two calls before it freezes.
But past one or two minutes it just stops working. It doesn't respond to anything at all, the only solution is to remove the battery.
I think the problem is in the firmware. I've reinstalled a bunch of diferent firmwares: wm6 english, wm6.1 spanish, wm6 english again... and nothing works.
can anyone help me???, 'cause this is really killing me :'(
Thanks in advance!

Just wondering - What is the size of your microSD card.
As far as I know m88 does not support SD card greater that 4 Gb by default.
Please, let us know.
Updated from SD Card ?
Hello, first of all I want to say thank you because I learned a lot from this thread. I bought M88 phone some months ago and is the first time I cannot use ( I really don't know what went wrong but finally the phone is not working or frezze ).
I bought 2Gb card and was formatted in FAT32. I also complete all steps in order to load the original image but I got this message: "updated from SD card?" and nothing more... What button must be pressed ?
I'll go crazy... do you know what's the next step ?
Thank you very much.
i dont understand sorry. i have to copy the "update" imgfile and rename it as "uploader"... and leave this two files : "update and uploader" in the root folder ?
I've install ROM from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452848
and now, when I try power on my MiPhone - it show only white screen - please help!
bootloading
the file, atleast on windows 7, shows up as "update". Also, I found it works must faster and easier to make 3 copies (4 files total)
naming 1: update.img
2: uploader.img
3: Update
and 4: uploader
(so the last 2 don't actual have .img in the title)
Then just make sure you hold down both the buttons, and vuo-la! haha
Doesn't fix the MMS problem though.
Does anyone know how to make it so that it can use mms?

Hi all,
Just received my Vodafone-branded Diamond, and I'm afraid I already managed to brick it!
It was equipped with version "1.37.172.3 NLD" so I decided to upgrade it to the latest version.
The installation of OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93 went flawless, but the installation of ROM "RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe" stopped at about 25% with error code 302. The recovery method that came with the package didn't help, every time the upgrade stopped at the same moment.
Since the device is stuck in the bootloader, and I'm left with a non-chargeable battery, I tried the official Vodafone-branded "RUU_Diamond_Vodafone_NL_1.97.172.4_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe" ROM. Unfortunately, this upgrade stops at 48% and throws the same 302 error.
Anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what I can do to solve all this?
I hope I don't have a brand new, but bricked device on Christmas!
TIA and have a nice day.
Try a hard reset first. If this doesn't help google or search at XDA for MTTY.
This tool can fix your device
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Stuck_at_bootloader
Try this, maybe will work
Try a Vodafone branded stock rom before mtty.
Regards,
Carty..
He already tried a stock rom....
Potential Solution
Have you looked at the thread titled,
[UPG][TRBL]How-to fix: Update/Flash doesnt work, stops at 0% or 5% (invalid model ID)
It may just be a model ID glitch that can me fixed.
Take a look. It's in this forum in a sticky by cptsunshine.
Thanks all for the help, I'll have a look at your suggestions.
The problem isn't that it stops at 0% or 5%, it stops at random percentages (depending on the ROM I use).
I also see the bootloader (red / green / blue), so it's not dead. I guess it's just that it doesn't pick up a ROM.
Besides, the bootloaders says upgrade ROM code error please try again.
Edit:
A hard reset doesn't seem to work. In the bootloader, when I press "volume down" and "enter" together, and press the "reset button" the screen goes black, but then goes back to the bootloader screen after a sec or 2.
Edit 2:
MTTY doesn't do much either, after executing "boot" the phone is showing me the Vodafone logo and that's it.
For the rest, MTTY shows me the following:
Cmd>boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
dwDirectNum: 0, dwMatrixNum: 0, dwMicroPNum: 0
Fixed new dwPSImageSize = 0x53E0000
Install Rom via Internal Memory Method
Steps from Suiller:
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
Let me know how it goes.
Make sure you have Net framework 3.5 installed on devices.

Can you please be more specific? Are you telling me how to do a hard reset? I tried as to do a hard reset, but it goes back to the bootloader instead of resetting. USB stick?
Thanks all, much appreciated. A pain this can happen, looking at the fact that I did everything exactly as described in all these flashing manuals.

No mate, I never had problems getting into the 3 color screen. The problem was updating afterwards, which never completed without error code 302.
Anyway, I guess I just fully bricked my device after putting SPL-1.40.OliNex (according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211) on it. The SPL install was succesful, but when booting I'm now not even getting to see the 3 color bootloader. All I see is the Vodafone logo with some version numbers at the bottom, but that's it. It doesn't boot further on, and I can't get a USB-connection.
Edit:
Volume down + reset brought me in the bootloader again, although it's saying SPL-1.93.OliNex.

The SPL install was succesful, but when booting I'm now not even getting to see the 3 color bootloader. All I see is the Vodafone logo with some version numbers at the bottom, but that's it. It doesn't boot further on.

that i know but as i say in the post that when u do it that way i say u can load new firmware whitout it needs to boot try my friend i have done it 3 times because wrong loading of firmware
u have to only push thoose 2 buttom then it will work because u go to rescue mode
But what will that give me extra? I can access the Hard-SPL 1.93 bootloader (3 color screen), and I can get into USB mode. It's just that the upgrade of both firmwares stop at a certain percentage.
I'm constantly trying to hard reset the device, but after pushing the reset button (with both volumn down + enter pressed down), the device just reboots back into the bootloader and doesn't give me the hard reset warning.

Ok, finally managed to do a hard reset. Afterwards I tried upgrading to the official Vodafone NL 1.97 ROM once more, but it failed at 48% again.
Any ideas what to do? I know have Diamond with Hard-SPL 1.93 (which says upgrade ROM code error) with no working OS.
Ok all, got it finally working again!
Don't ask me why, but flashing the newest Dutty ROM (and the included radio) did work.
Thanks for all your help, and a wonderful evening!
Hi all,
I have a quit similar problem. I've read a lot, but couldn't find an answer to my problem - may bye someone can help me.
I updated my Dimond (OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93, radio 1.09.25.23 and rom dutty V4). When I start my phone most of the time (95% plus) I end up in the color screen - however some time it's starts perfect (without changing anything).
When I get stock in the color screen, I can start the phone with mtty and the command "boot".
What can I do to make my phone always start in the normal way?
Thanks!

i smell a radio issue - last time i was trying to upgrade my radio - ended up with something similar, managed it out like you did - but now you're up - so that's good!!
try some other rom (this time without radio) - i don't think you should have any issues going forward... good luck and have fun!
Please help!
My HTC TP2 freezes at start up with the black screen and the Touch Pro2 Logo and some details in red at the bottom:
B 80
R 4.49.25.17
G 61.44tc.25.32U
D 1.86.67102
No USB connection can be established.
What happened:
1. Tried to update from original WM 6.1 to WM 6.5 by using the official HTC ROM update utility. Seems like USB connection broke during update and update freezed at 42%. Update utility process has stopped by itself (no process visible anymore in the Task Manager).
2. Restarted phone and multicolor screen appeared and stayed. After connecting with USB cable again "USB" appeared at the bottom. Started again the HTC ROM update utility which recognized the phone and started the update process again, but stopped at the beginning with an error message stating something like the ROM is broken.
3. Restarted again (by removing the battery and hit power button) and state reached like described above (HTC TP2 freezes at start up with the black screen and the Touch Pro2 Logo and some details in red at the bottom).
4. Performed a hard reset but did not help.
What can I do to bring the phone back to life?
So you can't or can get in the colored screen now? (the boatloader)
And it's kind of normal that their nothing happens after the tp2 + red information screen, this since their is no rom to startup.
EDIT
Is it possible to tell exactly what error you got?
EDIT
Try to hard reset your device, do you know how to do this?
If not this is how to do it:
To perform a hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons 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."
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

This is just what worked for me..
Had the same issue on my tp...
Hope it will work for you.
Did already the hard reset - but this did not help as nothing changed!
One further info: whenever I insert the battery the device automatically starts up - until it freezes again at the start up.
Can someone please help?
It's normal that the device starts up when the battery is plugged in...
But this is just what I know out of my own experience.
So sorry I can't help you farther.
EDIT
Did some research you might want to try to flash your phone by micro sd... (not for sure if it helps but by some people it did work)
Read the tread about flashing at the top of the rhodium section and you know how to do it.
Did another trial: downloaded and copied a RHODIMG.nbh to the micro sd card, inserted it again and pressed volume up at startup -> colored screen appears shortly, then switches to a white screen telling "Loading..." in blue font color, but nothing more.
Is there anybody out there who can help?
Do I need a specific RHODIMG.nbh to make this approach working? I didn't flash this device before, so it has been still in the original manufacturer's state.

suppose 2 press down volume not up after soft reset
This may help,
Try entering bootloader by switching off device then switch back on holding down the Vol down key.
If you can enter bootloader this way then you wil be able to flash from SD card following the instructions from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
if you want to flash the Official update from HTC you can extract the Nbh from the Exe file you downloaded from them, just use winzip, Zzip or Win RAR to extract the contents from the Exe you are looking for RUU_signed.nbh..follow the above thread instructions to change the name of the file to RHODIMG.nbh.
I DONT KNOW IF YOU NEED TO HARD SPL FOR THIS..Probably better to do it than not. Can Anyone Confirm???
i hope this helps
Device is up and running again !
Could enter bootloader mode and tried first to install again via the official HTC installer -> worked!
Thanks a lot for your support!
great news welldone Bro and welcome to the forum!!!

For future info, from what I have gathered you must hardSPl for all ROM flashes. If the ROM you flash is the stock ROM, you can also revert your SPL to stock. For any other ROM, you must leave your device hardSPL'd.
Hope I helped.
how were you able to connect the phone with the pc. i seem to have a similar problem but am finding it difficult to connect the phone to the pc. i have activesync installed but cannot connect to the phone

is it possible to connect to active sync in bootloader, cos my phone cannot even boot, it freezes up with a white screen and htc logo.
After entering bootloader you can flash either way,either by ruu package provided by your ROM's maker or running official ruu release or if you have the renamed file on the root of your sd card....I never use sd card flashing and have never had a failed flash...If in bootloader it will not connect with activesync,but device should be recognized by ruu.exe

First of all - I am a Sprint customer with the Latest Htc Rom -stock
List of problems and actions taken.
Problems
Soft reset reboots with phone in Airplane mode.
When the end key is pushed not long pressed but pushed it puts phone into Airplane mode.
Battery run time is not about half or even less than it was before.
Actions taken
Removed battery for about 10 minutes and tried a hard reset. Got to the screen where you are supposed to hit volumn up to restore to original and well the volumn up button gets pressed but nothing happens. So after waiting for about 15 minutes I do a soft reset to get back to the HTC Sense screen (today screen). I take the phone out of Airplane mode cause from reset. I hit the volumn up button and it works fine. I tap the end key and it puts me back in Airplane mode.
So I reflash stock rom back in that by the way wouldn't go until I unlocked the phone with HardSPL. Apon first reboot it still boots with phone shutting down into Airplane mode. Turn phone back on then turn power off. Take battery out. Replace battery. While holding Talk ad End buttons I tap power on for hard reset. Goes through try colored screen then to the volumn up option screen. I tap volumn up and nothing still happens.
I'm looking at Task 29 but I am worried about the volumn button not working.
Anyone have any ideas on what direction to take. Thank you

Which model is your device? You can find the model number above the barcode that is under your battery. It will be in the form of RHODxxx where "xxx" is a three digit number. From here, I'll be able to help you a bit better once I know which model you are using.
Thank you for the reply. The model# is M8RHOD400. Since my first post I have tried flashing other Roms and I think it was the Sharkie Rom that actually said it could find the end key file. Other than that all the other Roms I tried pretty much do the same. When end key is tapped it shut phone off. Plus the volumn up still doesn't work at the hard reset state. It works normal otherwise but when I try to hard reset it will not go past the first screen that says press vol. up to reset. Thanks again so far.

Ok, so the first thing we need to test for is hardware fault. To do this, you will need to perform a task29 and then flash the latest Sprint ROM. After that, try to see if you have the same problems. Please do not install anything while testing. If it works fine like this, then we will need to do some specific testing on the custom ROMs to narrow down the cause.
Things have changed a bit. Long morning. I tried flashing a few ROMs to see if any would fix it. I know a feeble attempt. Well one went bad and never got past the splash screen when it went to restart. Won't connect to ActiveSync. So I tried reflashing from SD card. and I get to
RHODIMG.nbh
OS -
Press Power button
to start update image
Press VolDn button
to cancel update image
The problem is I press power button and nothing happens. I press any buttons and nothing happens. I pulled the battery and reinstalled it and got the same again. I tried to run Task 29 but how. Won't load. Tried renaming rbh file but got the same results as above. I need a way to hard reset without buttons and its obvious that nothing working outside of windows. I'm lost.

First of all, you should stop trying to update with the SD card. That's the problem you're having, so we need to try something different. Flash it via USB. You don't need an Activesync connection. It just needs to change from SERIAL to USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen. Once that happens, simply run the RUU and it will flash to your device. Do task29 first. Then do the stock Sprint ROM. Task29 cannot be flashed via SD anyway. The NBH file in task29 is a filler file. It's the actual RUU in it that is modified to perform the wipe.
So, let's try this again.
1. Get into the bootloader by holding voldown while turning the device on.
2. Plug it in to a USB port on your PC.
3. Once the text at the bottom of the screen changes from SERIAL to USB, begin running the task29 RUU.
4. Once the progress bar gets to 99% on the task29 flash, hold the voldown button again and await the restart.
5. Once it restarts into the bootloader and the text changes again, begin flashing the latest Sprint ROM.
6. Allow the ROM to boot up all the way and settle down, then give it one soft reset.
7. When it comes back again, go ahead and test it out to see if your problems persist.
8. Report back here with the results, and we'll move on from this step.
Task 29 doesnt seem to working because it reboots back to the last rom. Everything is still there. I really don't think that any of the hardware buttons work outside of working in the OS and at startup. IE volumn works when unit is on or when putting unit into bootloader mode but Volumn button does not work when trying to do a hard reset or a Task 29. Power button turns on unit, turns off unit, puts into bootloader mode, starts hardreset. I have loaded a Custom Rom just because maybe with the X button on the bottom and bigger it might be easier. I'm all ears from here on out. Its seems I need to clear ROM or Cmos without button usage. I don't know if that makes any sense to you but like I said I'm all ears on what to do now. Thanks for the little lesson on flashing without Activesync. Feeling kinda stupid about that one. Thanks for the help so far.

I don't know where you got your task29 utility from, but you cannot run it from SD. It HAS to be used with the RUU that came with it. It is the modified RUU that runs the task29 function. Just to eliminate the confusion, I'm uploading a modified RUU to this post that is very simple to use. Extract it from the archive and follow these instructions.
1. Connect the device (in bootloader) to your PC and wait for USB to show in the bootloader.
2. Run the RhodiumWAdvancedRUU.exe
3. Select the third radio button that says "Perform task29 only."
4. Uncheck the box that says "Restart utility when task29 completed."
5. Hit Next and keep going through it until it flashes.
6. Once the progress bar gets to 99%, hold your voldown button and wait for the reboot.
7. Once you are back into the bootloader, wait for USB to show up on the screen again and then flash the stock ROM.
8. Once the flash is complete, allow it to boot once and settle, then soft reset.
9. Once it restarts, test the problems again.
10. If the problems persist, we can move on from here.
Note: If you want to make sure that the task29 utility worked, feel free to try and boot it after performing the task29 and see how far it gets. If it gets stuck at the bootscreen, then you know it worked. Simply pull the battery, or hit the reset button, and power it back on while holding voldown to return to the bootloader and continue with step 7.
I cannot find the uploaded file that you sent, but also I am not trying to run the Task 29 file from SD card. I'm trying from the comp but like I said, when in any mode other than Windows, I really believe none of the buttons work. Volumn down at 99%. Volumn up on a hardreset. The buttons work to get me into the various mode either from Windows or at startup, but once into the special modes I think I don't get any buttons. That and the fact that the only thing the endkey button does in turn phone on and off but doesnt end anything is peculiar to a person like me. Anyways I didn't get your Task 29 file yet.
Thanks again

That's because I forgot to upload it. Sorry. here it is.
I know you feel that way, but there are a few things we can try. We just need to go step by step to rule things out. Please trust me on this. I'm trying to keep from saying that your phone is having hardware troubles, because I think it is fixable as it is now. We just have a certain order to attack it from.
I do appreciate the help I have always gotten from this site and thank you. The worries that I have are actually getting any buttons to work when doing any work on the phone outside of the windows format. I noticed that at 99% I am to tap the vol. dw button and I don't think thats gonna work. From my desktop computer exsperience that I have I know there is actually 3 modes happening that work in conjunction with one another. CMOS MSDOS and Windows. I don't think its a windows issure and I don't know what else there is in these phones that work, but I will try this program and thank you again. I will let you know where I at with it in a few.

Even if holding voldown doesn't work, you will still be able to boot back into the bootloader. task29 will clear the internal memory of everything. There won't be anything to load, so it will hang on the splash screen if it tries to load. Don't worry. We're going to try everything we can before we call it quits. This is a unique problem, but I think it can be fixed. Like I said, we just have to go in order.
Okay. First of all I'm sorry for the void between your last message and now. Its been a wild week so far. Thanks again for the help so far. With that said and done heres were I am at. I tried your Task 29 software and it did seem to be different at visualy. Possible problem is, is that when it rebooted after following your instructions, it did not go to the tri colored screen but to a blueish looking screen with the words Touch Pro 2 across the center. It almost looked like a splash screen, but never went any farther. So I'm not sure if that was acceptable or not as a proper task 29 but I did go ahead and load the stock rom into it and it went find. After the first reboot it started up with Airplane mode on. I shut it off and turned on the phone again. Everything was okay. You can only assign the phone button and nothing else that I know of so I couldn't see what was assigned to the end key so I pushed it. immediately it stuck the phone back into airplane mode again. Push or I should say tap and it took it out of it. I realize that by default the phone set the long press end key to shut the airplane mode on and off, but I am tapping and only tapping as I always have in the pass. Well so I got the idea of trying a different Rom in hopes that something will program the key to not shut the phone function off everytime I accidently tap the end key, I tried a few and Sharkies seems to surfice for the moment. By tapping the end key only brings up the Comm Manager instead of shutting the phone function down. Funny thing is though is that also was Sharkies default for long press. The problem has become with that now is that it has been just popping up by itself over and over. So I started tapping the end key when it popped up and suddenly it seems that it worked until I realized the the end key doesnt seem to be working at all. It clicks but thats it. So what to do now. Good thing at this time is the fact that I dont have to worry anymore about accidentally tapping the end key.Good chance it could be the button it self. I don't know. What ya think?

On task29, it removes the entire ROM from the device's internal memory. There was nothing to boot up, so it stopped at the splash screen. That's how task29 works.
Well, this allows us to completely remove the possibility of the software's effect on your problem. What is happening is that the device is recognizing a short press as a long press. Since the button commands are interpreted by the SPL, we've got one last thing to try before declaring hardware fault. We'll need to flash the stock SPL, again to see if that clears it up. To do this, I'd ask that you flash the latest stock ROM to your device. After this, you'll need to go back to the CDMA Hard SPL thread and grab the latest stock SPL. Flash that to your device. Then boot it up and see if the problems persist. If it continues to register short presses as long one, then you have a hardware fault. If this fixes it, then you should be able to flash Hard SPL again and load another ROM with no problem.
