Just an FYI since I didn't see it mentioned here. (You may want to add it to your op)

You don't need a stylus to enter bootloader or hard-resets.
Here's some basic directions from a much longer post I did.

The key is, the phone needs to be powered down, not just the screen.
These are some of the ways to power down your phone.
1) If you have psShutXP installed, you can select "Shut Down", or
2) Push and hold the power button. You will be warned that you're shutting down the phone, or
3) Remove the battery.

Once you're phone is powered down, decide which mode you want to go into.
Make sure the "PowerButton" is the last button you push and hold, since that will turn your phone on.

Note: Push and hold all the corresponding buttons to activate selected mode

Bootloader = VolumeDown + PowerButton
Triggered Bootloader = VolumeDown + BackArrow + PowerButton
Hardreset = VolumeDown + OK + PowerButton
