Someone hit me on the head!! failing to get into bootloader mode

[rc]

i just got a startek ph off ebay and after 2 wks wait came in the mail without the usb cable, i am trying to get into bootloader mode to flash it with sd card and cant figure out after searching like crazy how to get it into bootloader mode.

here is what i have done.
1. got the micro sd card formated to fat32/512bytes
2. copied the STARIMG.nbh on the card
3. started the ph
4. held both the single biuttons on the side of the flip top and it wont do squat.

i read the instructions. but cant figure out the record button, which one is it... off the 4 buttons on the top 2 are for vol control one for camera and 4th one i am not sure of so i held that with camera and no-go

, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Record button and Camera button at the same time).

what am i missing??

Hi

I don't know anything about flashing to new rom from SD

but about bootloader mode on startrek , you can see this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502693) .

Good Luck !

I'm having a similar problem. When I run enterbootloader.exe, it searches the SD card but says 'invalid certificate'. I can't do the record and camera button sequence because my charging connector is broken. Please help me!!!

1. you must copy the STARIMG.nbh on the root of memory card ( not in a folder )

2. also , if you use the official rom , you must first unlock application . ( for locked phones , sda unlock is necessary , too )

I did that, and i think my phone is SDA unlocked, but I can't run it just in case, my charging connector is broken. I flashed from SD to my current ROM from Erofich's v9c, and it worked. I just started SoftSPL from the start menu.

EDIT- Problem Solved. See my next post for what I did.

1. Find an official ROM (It has to be official, or you'll get Invalid Certificate error.)
2. Extract STARIMG.nbh (or whatever it's called) from it.
3. Place the STARIMG.nbh into the root of a FAT32 formatted SD Card. (If there are files already there, you don't have to delete them, my startrek just finds the STARIMG if it's in the root.
4. Put the SD into your device.
5. make sure your device is turned off.
6. Press and hold the Camera (bottom right) and record (bottom left) buttons, and while holding them press the power button for about half a second, then let go.
7. Wait about 5 seconds for bootloader to appear.
8. 'Flash from SD? Press this <- Button.' (Press the button it points to, not the left softkey)
9. Wait
10. :)

If you need SDA App unlock or anything like that, or to get into bootloader mode to flash an UNofficial ROM, you must start flashing an automated ROM (with the batch/cmd window), and close it when it puts the phone in bootloader for you.

So thanks for sharing your explanation .:)
