View Full Version : Fixing speaker and downgrading ROM from WM 5.0 to 2003

First of all I've been picking my XDA2 up, to put it in the cradle, by the speaker since everywhere else on it seems to be either buttons or touch-screen, now the plastic cover bit's got pushed in and I need to get into it to push it back. I'm assuming I need those star shaped allen key things and if I do then what should I ask for in a shop, what size and whatever their special name is?

And also, I'm planning on selling this phone to my cousin soon enough but he doesn't know much about computers and whatnot and I know that he'd prefer to have it as it's meant to be in case he needs support. Is it simple to put the old ROM back in after the upgrade, would it just be a case of backing mine up and then installing it back afterwards? I'd love to fiddle round and install WM5 on this phone, would like the persistent memory feature. And one little thing, what's the risk factor of ROM swapping like, I read somewhere that there's a chance I may just be left with a plastic brick of spare parts.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but where in freakin hell do I get that plastic stick thing? I'm assuming they won't sell it at the O2 shop.
