My problem is:
When i try to enter fastboot or flash mode, the LED blinks once, and then the phone enter charging mode.
I've got a custom kernel, LuPuSv12-GB.
The fastboot mode was working, but now that i want to try another kernel, i can't go into fastboot anymore and i don't know why.
I have google usb drivers, android sdk, adb, already tried gordon's gate, tried to install the flashtool drivers too.
The system don't recognize any S1 fastboot either.
I'm using Windows 7 x64.

Are you disconnecting the USB cable from both the Phone and the PC? And then connecting them when Flashtool tells you too?

I tried to reboot into fastboot with flashtool to get the log:

I am doing manually, did through flashtool just to get the log, i thought it would help!

For Now ignore Fastboot Mode and try to get into Flash Mode.

Try entering Flash Mode like this:

1.Open FlashTool
2.Select Flash Mode
3.Select Firmware (FTF)
4.Wait till FlashTool tells you to connect your phone in Flash Mode
5.Remove Battery from phone
6.Connect USB Cable to both the Phone and the PC while holding Back Button(With no Battery)
7.Insert battery
8.FlashTool will start Flashing the FTF, once done Reboot and enjoy

In order for this TO WORK Steps 6 and 7 have to be done REALLY FAST

That didn't work :(
I am going to give it a try at my friend's notebook with another USB cable and see if works :/
I'll post the results tomorrow.
