How to get into Bootloader

[WizzarD-me]

Hi there!

What key combination gets me into the bootloader?

I've been wondering and searching for a way to upgrade my MDA pro rom. (searching for hours on xda, google and a lot of other specialized sites. Turned out to be dead ends! FRUSTRATING!

I'va had a Qtek S100 before. There was a way to get into the bootloader. And there is a way into the bootloader for the Universal to! YES!

But when i try to push the buttons

on/of
Camera
reset button


i cant get in!

button 1 and 2
reset

the same problem.

I get as far as the pres 0 or X for factory default and exit.

Who can help me? I have the no_id upgrade utility and the ROM ready.
Was there a UUL file which i had to edit before using this upgrade method?

I hope there wil be a good tutorial for this just like the one i have used to upgrade my S100 to an orange rom. (worked great!)


Can anyone help me please

Its BACKLIGHT BUTTON + POWER BUTTON + RESET HOLE

It's better to do this without the SIM and Memory Card connected. Disconnect also the USB Sync Cable.

After entering bootloader, you will see SERIAL written on the screen but the screen has no backlight so you have to look hard.

Then when you plug the Sync Cable, the SERIAL will change to USB then you can run the NoID to update.

Remember the NoID has to be run twice in a row as the first time usually solicits an ID Country error

Thanks Jorge!

Just those keystrokes helped me a lot. It works just fine and it took me only one run to Initiate the upgrading.

Thanks a lot!

I followed your advice and removed the SD and the phone card.

Yes! now i can experiment with these ROMS.

First Jasjar, later O2 and hoping for the best roms with the best programs.(hoping to find a messenger cab file in the jasjar rom) ;)

As I am planning to do the same, Try all the variants of the ROM's, could you inform me what are the good and bad points of all the different ROM's you used and which did you decide to use finally.

Thanks

I turn on my Qtek 9000 and i see SERIAL written and the screen but the screen has no backlight.

How can I boot my Qtek 9000 again without this SERIAL mode ????

Best Regards

Hi Ecraseur,

if You did not do anything else (no upgrading), try ColdReset : Power-switch + Reset hole.

If we can boot from Serial/USB is it possible to boot from Mini SD? I'm toying with the idea that by using a Linux Live Disk content on a Mini SD it may be possible to boot into a virtual Linux environment? I know it's going to be uber slow and may not even work but I thought it may be worth a look?

If a Mini SD boot isn't possible do you think it'd work to have one of the smaller USB bootable Linux flavours as the USB boot for the HTC Wizard etc?
