Hi all.

Really need some help here. I'm trying to flash ROM with Medkit wm 6.1 but I'm falling over at the first hurdle - I am not able to enter bootloader mode.

I've tried these key combos:

camera+reset - release reset and keep camera button held
camera+vrecord+reset - released reset and kept other buttons held
power+reset - this flashes the rom but with standard factory ROM
and pretty much every other possible key combo

As I understand it it's cameria+reset that is supposed to be the correct way of getting into bootloader mode.

BTW, I'm using a FAT formatted 256MB SD card and have copied the AL1.dio and boot directory int the root dir of the card (as per medkit's instructions)

Oh, and my Atom is an MWG Life.

Where am I going wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

actually the right way for your atom life is Record (hold) + reset -> realease reset, it'll enter bootloader mode

Did that as well, still cant seem to enter bootloader. It will just perform a normal reset. Does this mean my bootloader is corrupted?
