Cant get BA into bootloader mode after WM5

I have tried for weeks now to get my imate pda2k into bootloader mode but it will not. Just goes to the stripes and the to wm5. any Ideas?
Yes I do know what to push to get it there but no joy

silly question but when you presso the power button + camera and then you press the soft reset button with the stylus, do you keep pressing wth the stylus for a moment?
i have to wait some 3 seconds before i go into bootloader mode

no bootloader mode
Yes tried that, and all other combinations that I can think of. It just goes to the Stripe color screen then shows at the bottom the rom, radio, etc then the WM5 screen.

Test camera button

Yous hould hold the three buttons for a while, but if you have problem with one of them it is not possible to do hard reset

I think you shold hard reset your BA first before you next try
good luck

tried all of above
Yes tried all of your suggestions, I guess must be a button problem (power button I think) Altho its the same as when I get it to upgrade to WM5. But now, You know when you press power rs and camera/record? and the the envelope key to get the no yes yes screen? as soon as I take my fingers off the keys, its gone, doesnt stay there like b4 till options are changed. They r all set to default of no. How do u check to see if the bootloader software is on the pda?

Press record (button above slider) + power button + SR at bottom.
Then you are in bootloader.

You can actually test without guessing if the power button is working: press & does the device turn on/off? Try (not guess) the other buttons as well.
Without being rude, do a sanity check. disregard all your assumptions that you are doing things right & follow the procedure as below (taken from the Wiki pages):
-------------------------------------
Put your device into bootloader mode:
* Press Power + record (above the volume slider) + softreset at the same time. You should see a white screen with "Serial" text on it and the Bootloader version.
-------------------------------------
Hardreset based on Screen Information
* Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
* Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right or,
* press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right or,
* press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
Cheers!

So I was texting on my Fuze and it froze. I hard reset it and now it won't start back up. Im using the latest Mercury Energy rom. It starts up, goes to where it plays the start-up sound and says "Energy Rom 3.0" and then stops. I have the touch response installed on it and it still vibrates when u touch it, so I dont think its too bad. Please Help! Thanx

Hold the Volume button down + the button in the middle + the reset button
keep holding until the screen goes to bootloader

then reflash?

tryed holding the buttons and it didnt do anything.

He's advising that you hard reset. That's what I'd do, too, but if it continues to hang, flash a stock rom. You may need to go into bootloader manually if you do it over usb.

Fixed it please delete.

hard rest verizon phones
i think that verizon has ****ed the customers when i comes to hard resetting i think that they disable the option when you are try to do it with the whole volume button power button the reset thing i have gone through two phones because of this but now i found program that was leaked and it does it for me you go into that mode where you get that multiple colored screen and then once you plug you phone into your computer and then you run it and it hard resets the phone

that would be great if you can share how do you it with us, so any body have this problem can be fixed without asking too much.

How do I hard reset locked phone?

Hi,
I just purchased screen locked phone (requires password to unlock). I thought hard reset will fix it but it does not do anything.
I hope volume UP and volume DOWN buttons simultaneosuly while phone if off then press Power button and release it while continuing holding VolUP and VolDown but nothing happens - phone stays on locked screen. Does this procedure works on locked phones?

Mmmm...
Make sure you're holding the buttons in firmly while you briefly press the power button. It doesn't matter that the device is password protected, all the data will be cleared and set to default ROM settings.
If the device just switches on, it means that one or both of the volume buttons weren't completely pressed when you hit the power button

I tried like 10 times already. I hold both buttons very tight but after pressing power, it just comes back to unlock screen.

hold volume button down and press power button. if you can do this just flash a new rom from the sd card.

This does not do anything either. I hold vol down button while phone is off and press briefly power while still holding button and nothing happens. It comes to load screen.

Hard reset
Be sure first that device (not the screen) is turned off, then:
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_2_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

Thanks,
I figured this out. I was so stupud, I understood phone is off is like screen is Off. It actually meant the whole phone is off instead (had to remove battery for that).

The First thing you need to do: Power-OFF your device.
since it's locked, software interaction may not possible. you need to take the battery out, and put it back in 2-3 seconds later
Then, hold VOLUP and VOLDOWN tightly, and hit the power button to start the hard reset procedure.

Ativ S Blue Screen After Boot

I have bought a Second hand Ativ S and it turned out to be dev unit, it worked for the most part(occasional crashes), but recently it broke.
After it boots it gets me to a blue screen and then powers off. I can still access the download mode and the system files via USB. But I want to do a factory reset of some sort or at least be able to use it.
Can someone help me out with this? Is there a possibility to re flash it? or is there a combination of buttons i don't know about?

have tried to hard reset the phone by this steps?
If you can't access your phone's Settings page:
1.Turn off your phone.
2.Turn on your phone again by pressing the volume down button until you see the exclamation mark
3.Then, reset the phone by pressing the following four buttons in this order: Volume up, Volume down, Power, Volume down.
4.Your phone should now reset and restart itself. (It might take a while for the process to complete.)
And it didn't work for you? If not you have go to a Samsung store, probably they will flash you a normal OS to your phone...

I've tried that...it didn't work. I've also went to Samsung and apparently it made it worse. Initially my problem had a blue screen after booting but after I took it back from service the blue screen has disappeared and now the phone just powers down after the boot. THe guys at Samsung told me that the don't have the device number in their database and that the cannot do anything to it....so i'm hopping that some tool will pop-up and I'll be able to flash the device from home.
Also being an Engineering unit when I power the device based on your description it doesn't show me an exclamation mark it just goes dark and if i hook it up to the pc it shows as mass USB storage, and I can access the files on it. So there is something i'm missing for this device in particular.
Thanks anyway for your support.

Thank you again Jackson5...Really...Thank you, i've almost lost hope...after seeing your post and replying to it I said ....what the heck...lets try that again, and it worked...not with your steps exactly...I put the phone into a charger and it started to power up...Windows logo power down..and again power up and shutting down....Meanwhile I pressed Up on the volume and the exclamation mark appeared. and from there, suffice to say that I have a phone, again. So Thanks again

AW: Ativ S Blue Screen After Boot
I'm glad to hear that your phone is running again...
Sent from my GT-I8750 using Board Express

Same problem, help...
It seems Ive got the same problem with my Ativ S, I've tried everything and nothing is working...
Sorry, but can you tell me what buttons exactly and in what order did you press to get to the exclamation mark screen, please? I am sorry but I really cannot understand your explanation (your post) very well, you said:
"Windows logo power down..and again power up and shutting down....Meanwhile I pressed Up on the volume..."
Do you mean logo + power or logo + power + volume down or something else? I cannot understand the part "again power up and shutting down" either...
Thanks

If the phone powers down due to blue screen or any other problem you might encounter, connecting it to a power source will make your phone restart...so basically what happens is the Phone powers up reaches the error and shuts down, but because is plugged to a power source it will power back up. So while you are plugged with the device keep pressing those buttons... Having a Dev unit apparently it worked with the Vloume Up ...
-Press the Volume Down Key + Power Key to turn on the unit
- Still hold the volume down key, the release Power Key.
- Wait for the startup screen booting with an exclamation mark " ! " then release the volume down key.
- Press the following buttons in the following order: press the volume up (high volume key) ==> press volume key down (low volume key) ==> press the power key ==> press volume down key.
- Wait a moment and look at the screen, a message such as loading new software will start the hard reset process

What if u try it again. Hold all 4 buttons, while the phone is connected to power for 10sec. After that release the power and volume up button. So u hold volume down all the time. See what happens.

Hello there, sorry for this resurrection but I have the same problem, black screen, green led on, but nothing more, no fastboot, no recovery, no logos, no vibration, nothing.
Is there any solution for this? I've tried power button + volumen down in many ways and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

You can only try to flash ifwi and dnx as I did but I also had no success and also Moto themselves couldn't fix the phone.
If your phone is still in warranty it will get replaced, otherwise you can throw it away.

i had this problem when my battery was deeply unloaded. i had to load it with an powersource with 1A and a factory cable. that worked for me...

Help ,, please emergency !!!!
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. Please help.
