MAGLDR With NO VOL DOWN :(

[beattie_03]

Hey Guys.

Cant believe it! Just got phone repaired and researched all this and loaded it up only to find my stupid volume buttons have been damaged when the guy fixed it! Im living in Canada but from Aussie so got it fixed on insurance back there, so its a super mission to get it fixed under that again (i.e not happening!) I actually live in Whistler where it costs $20 for a block of cheese so fks me how much it will cost to repair a phone! Right...

So, my phone loads into MAGLDR 1.13 so the only option I can select is boot WPH which from what i've gathered is WM7 roms, but it has to be flashed before anway, so i assuming there is nothing I can load onto the SD card to work with that?

So my other option is to get the correct files onto the SD card so that MAGLDR will boot Andoird BEFORE loading the menu... (eg. now it says Kernel failed etc at the start, then loads menu). I have an Android folder on there now that i was manually booting from WM6 so either that wont work, or I need a dif Android folder setup?

Finally, I could try to fix the volume buttons myself but that will be a mission unto itself!

Any help would be AMAZING!

Thanks in advance! Sean.

PS: From what I have researched Vol Down is the ONLY way to load BootLoader (RGB Screen) is this correct? I heard End+ResetButton but that definately didnt work...

few things:

1) You can get the phone into boot-loader by with an RUU. Download any custom WM6.5 ROM and it will have an "enter bootloader" file. In WinMo just make sure ActiveSync is connected.

2) You can use Vol-Up to navigate thru MAGLDR if that works for you I think.

3) MAGLDR 1.13 is defaulted to Android via NAND. You cannot flash CWM without using the volume buttons, nor can you flash DAF. You CAN flash cLK (alternate bootloader to MAGLDR) although I think CWM still needs the volume buttons, lol.

Without working volume buttons (you need either vol up or vol down) you are basically screwed, you can only use WM6.5 at this point till you fix it.

Sweet.... It is only booting into MAGLDR but. I assume there is now way to NOT boot into MAGLDR and boot back into my old WM6.5 ROM?

Once you flash MAGLDR, your WM6.5 ROM is erased. Kinda like reformatting and putting a new OS on your PC.

So anything you had in your WM6.5 ROM is gonzo.

If you want WM6.5 back on there with no MAGLDR, just flash stock or custom WM6.5 ROM thru activesync RUU and it will erase MAGLDR and you will be back in WinMo.

Thanks mate. But there is no way to get Windows to recognise the phone as its only booting into MAGLDR. Is that right?

Pretty much, you really need those buttons to work, I can't think of another workaround.
