how can I Upgrade my Xda II if my camera and record button is broken? :(

[d1359676]

Help, help!!!! :((
Certainly when upgrade from WM03 to WM06, we all must go to the boot loader option to clean registry, disable KITL, clean storage...etc . However,poor me, I have an XDAII with broken record and camera button, so that I can not get in Boot Loader ( Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton )
So could any one solve this problem?
many thank!!!!

As this is a mechanical problem, - you can't press buttons, which are physically not there -, there is no software solution!
A little workaround might be possible, but untested yet:
As it is not necessarily so, that you have to do a hard reset to end upgrading,
you can try to skip it, in case the last thing you did in WM2k3(SE) was a hardreset.
There should no difference to a fresh upgraded system, which had done a hr afterwards, but it's untested!!!
To do a hard reset on a running WM5 or WM6.X system, you can try to downgrade, hardreset WM2k3(SE) (As I remember this OS does use this buttons to hr) and then upgrade again. It looks wierd, but might work.
For cookers only:
I suggest to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510805,
as it's a WWE rom without camera-function for cooking.
Delete everything that belongs to the camera to get a little bit more sectors to fill with apps and proggis you need.

Thank so much for your helping, your guiding is quite clear and detailed but....it's not work surely. The way to get in boot loader depend on model of Xda, not depend on the version of rom. The Himalaya use fomular "Reset +Camera + Button" permanent whatever u use any wmXX

Well, I use Powerbutton -DPad -Reset to enter bootloader. No use of Camera button there.
In WM2k3(SE) the hard reset is powerbutton and reset, as I remember, please correct me, if I´m wrong.
Still no use of the missing button.
Enter bootloader and flash, then try to skip hard reset. Although it is better it is not needed.
To do a hard reset on a running WM5/6.X system use the tool of post#18 here:

Change options to allow hardreset, tap on left upmost icon twice, tap and hold hardreset and run selected.
Voila, no button needed!!!
Tap the icon left of the '?' and enter anything you want. Congratulations.
