Default Looks 100% dead, how to get bootloader.

I just found a trick that will help you even if you can't get bootloader to work no more.

It worked for me..

Press The Volume down and the Camera button and insert the battery.

The phone seems to boot whenever you put in the battery.. so it can crash so you cant use the on button to get to the bootloader.. this will prevent that from happening.



edit: changed some typos

How come?

I've flashed my phone for line 20 times now.. it took me like 16 flashes to get the phone dead enough to find make this the only way to access to the bootloader.

I'm quessing that not everybody will try and press some buttons while inserting the battery to try if that will work; so i thought i should share it with people hoping they will now be able to get the bootloader to fix there problem.

I agree with you. Sharing anything here is much much much better than flaming, criticising, or asking obsolete questions. Thanks very much for sharing.

Youre right, i apologize for what i sead. this was just a typical case of not reading the post right.
In fact I'm very pleased that you shared this information with us, Paradise. However it does not seem to work at my phone. I can't get into bootloader anymore, and I can't start the phone...

Are you sure?

You need to fully load the battery on a desktop loader or another phone.
Then hold the 2 buttons and insert the battery.

If this doesn't work it must be some hardware problem.

The problem was that my battery was fully drained and i tried to recharge it via USB whilst the phone was off. Hadn't thought about the fact that if the phone is off, windows won't recognize it and won't put any power on the USB-port....
Using the seporate charger charged it just fine.
