View Full Version : How I entered bootloader

I hope that this will be able to help someone else who searched as much as I did but was still unable to enter bootloader.

My phone is a CDMA Telus Diamond, pretty much one of the first ones in 'public hands' in the Kitchener/waterloo/cambridge area.

I had uploaded The Mighty Rom, and it worked fine for a few days then I would have to reset often, then the screen stuck and it wouldn't turn off, then when I reset the device it wouldn't get past the screen with the red writing at the bottom. I tried everything to get it into bootloader... then I was just playing around with it now and I pulled the battery and put it back in (device is off). held in the volume down button (on the side), then pressed and held the stylus in the reset button. While those two were pressed, I pressed the power button (on top). voila... tri-color screen!

I know there are lots of threads on this, but I hope this will help someone in the same situation I was in.

Thanks, but it's in the wiki >.>

what I read in the wiki was to hold in volume down and the action button, then reset. That didn't work for me... many many times.

Really? Oh. I'm sorry then :) I mean I think that's what I thought I had read in the diamond and raphael wiki and I've been doing that so I didn't exactly remember.

Thank you, I had this same problem with my HTC Touch PRO (CDMA) Pressing the power button on the top did the trick!
