Bootloader :(

Hi people,
I'm quite new here and I know this question has been asked before but I can't find the answer listed anymore. Links to topics related to the bootloader questions seem to be missing.
I cannot enter bootloader mode on my MDA II. I am pressing the power, direction and reset buttons simultaneously, and I get grey screen saying SERIAL on the top and v1.01 on the bottom which changes to USB when placed in the cradle. It stays there. I think this is the bootloader screen but I've been told that you should be able to gain access to a menu from here. Do I need to unlock it somehow, update the bootloader, or use some sort of software? What am I doing something wrong?
Yes noob question but has to be asked....
Please advise.

yes, that's bootloader.
what do you want to do from there?
there is also another menu.
if you press reset button and hold down record + camera buttons.

O2- XDAIIi upgrade

Guy,
Please Help
I was upgrading my XDAIIi to Xda IIi ROM v 1.11.162. during which it show an error message and it just went blank looking closely at the screen showing USB at the top of the screen and the bottom of it has v1.01,
when put on the cradle it showing USB.
I have press the reset botton God knows how many times
Please help someone

Were you trying to upgrade to the rom I posted? With RADIO 1.03 in the filename?
You need to press the power, d-button down and the reset button all together.
Then run the update program again. If it is the original O2 rom then it should work fine from there. If it is the rom I posted then the update will fail initially, just run the program a second time without touching your phone at all.
Hope this helps.

No, I am upgrading from O2 website. I am sorry it not connecting to my pc at all. No sign of life ,
it only display USB on the screen

Try doing a hard reset by holding the power button down and pressing the reset button.
Put it into bootloader by pressing the power, d-button down and the reset button all together and releasing them at the same time. The screen should say SERIAL. Connect it to your PC and the screen should then say USB. Then you should be able to run the update.
If this doesn't work as a last resort try taking the battery out for a while to let the backup run down and start again. Whatever happens the phone needs to go into bootloader mode and a rom applied to get it working again.

Please, which is the D-botton you are refering to

The D button is the "Directional" button, in between the green pickup phone button and the red hang up button.

9100 stuck in bootscreen, hard reset no go

Well I installed card export, and got some errors, after like the 2nd error my 9100 resetted itself and is stuck in the boot screen with cloads now.
A hard reset is no go, just behaves as a normal reset, and I'm pretty sure I red about this problem in another thread somewhere here, just can't seem to find it.
Anyone got an idea?
The only thing it shows now is:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.13.10.0
OS 1.6.7.1

I am also stuck on the boot screen after my ROM update froze! Is this device now dead?!?! Please tell me there is a way to fix it!

Press and hold camera button and press resett button while you holding camera button.
now you enter bootloader (tree color screen) connect device to pc and run update you had on your device before it crached

Got it!!!
Hold down the Voice Button plus the Camera button at the same time and hit the reset button. That takes you into bootload mode. Then you will have a USB connection to the PC - not via active sync. Run one of the RUU update programs and you will be back....
At least it worked for me!

as it did for me

diamond 2 unresponsive

i installed the Ezinput from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536215 for wvga... i installed it, then it said a reset is required to finish intallation. after the reset, it went to the touch diamond 2 boot up screen, after that was over, then screen displayed nothing. its black, and usb does not respond when i connect it to the computer. any ideas? i already tried the reset using teh red button. took out the memory card, where i install the .cab, still doesnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it's totally unresponsive from boot, hard reset it. Hold Volume Down and press the "red button" to reset it. It'll go back to factory settings.

same problem here, help needed!!
i tried to restore it to the factory setting using volume down and red button but when the phone flashes it shows me this three color screen with the message "serial" on the bottom side of the screen, any ideas on what should i do???
thanks in advance...

To perform a Diamond 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see a message on the screen.

What you did is boot in "bootloader mode"; in that mode you can try to flash again the original ROM.

thanks
