I am unable to get into boot loader mode.

I've pressed camera + power and reset as usual but it won't go into bootloader it just boots the phone up.

I managed to get into bootloader mode using a KaiserCustomRRU and then it picked up the new ROM from the SDCard but when i press power to flash the rom nothing happens.

I can still boot into windows mobile and the power button works when I press it there.

I only got this kaiser a day ago is it possible this is a new version or something?

Please help! :(

Are you fully pressing the Camera button, it has two levels, it must be presses in fully and help whilst you restart your phone with the stylus (or turn on if the phone is off).

Off Topic:
This makes a nice change, helping someone into bootloader, rather than someone stuck in it. :)

Yup I'm pressing it down super hard, I've had the kaiser since it came out so I know I'm doing it as usual. For some reason it isn't working this time.

I had lots of trouble flashing HardSPL aswell! Now this problem with entering boot loader. This is getting irritating :(.

Does the Camera button work normally? I.e. Launches the camera in Windows.

What problems are you having with HardSPL?

Yup camera button does work normally.

I had to reset the device loads of times before customRUU noticed that the phone was plugged in.

At the moment I'm stuck in RUUNBH recovery mode in HardSPL. It detects that I have put a memory card with a KAISIMG.nbh into the phone, it says that it will flash radio, rom, splash and says press power to continue but when I press power nothing happens. Now no matter what I do I can't get out of HardSpl and I can't even flash a rom anymore :(

Thanks so much :D

Ok so its booting up again but I'm still having the same problem, ie it won't get me into bootloader using camera and power button.

I can't even press the 2 buttons to clear storage either, it just boots straight into the rom.

Very strange... :confused::confused:

Why do you need to access the Bootloader? To flash from SD Card?

Yup also I'm having weird problems which I think are associated with this particular problem.

When I boot up the rom lots of keys just randomly get pressed. e.g. if I have a pin set loads of characters will be put into the input box and the only way i can stop it is by pressing a hardware button.

I'm trying to flash a dutty rom which I know doesn't really have those kinda problems to see if its just the rom, although other people aren't reporting the same problem with the rom though :/

Flash back to your Original ROM, Radio and SPL. If the problems are still occuring, take it back to the shop, IMO.

Reverted everything back to default now, still got the same problem so I'm going to get a replacement send out to me tomorrow.

Do you think there is a new version of the kaiser that messes up when you flash hardspl?

I doubt they gave you that newer Model what doesn't work.
I think it is the SPL that figures out wether or noot to boot the OS or run the Bootloader... when loading the OS the SPL checks for what keys are pressed and goes into the SPL or OS.
If Hard SPL and the OEM SPL fail to load the bootloader, there must be something wrong with the device IMO.

I have the same problem with key press, it happened after a recent flash to a new rom.

I have found out what keys it is in my case. It is the "button 6" (voice recorder) and "edfc".The last are just endlessly pressed. Anybody knows how to fix this? My temporary fix was to remap button 6 to "rotate screen" but it is really anoying. I would like to just disable button 6, until I can return it, if there is no fix.

The problem has persisted over 3 roms now (PV rom (8 oct by medkid) - where it all started, Garmin 4.3 and now hyperdragon III 6 oct)

any help will be greatly welcomed!
