Please disregard. Due to lack of sleep, I mistook the volume down and the Down keys and couldn't enter bootloader *smacks head on wall*

After breaking my pinky to hit all 4 pressure points, it worked like a charm.

Glad it worked for you!

On my first attempt at triggering the bootloader, I thought the button combination was not meant for humans, but after a few tries, it does get easier.

I would just like to say thanks to everyone who contributes....I put the latest mighty rom on my Diamond and it was acting very strange. When I restarted I was stuck on the boot screen and with this info I was able to revive my toy. Thanks again everyone!!

*****EDIT 10 days later: I had a flash go bad. Now, I can get to tri-color screen, but active sync does not recognize. Any ideas?

Sorry, to bump, I tried to force a flash to stock anyway, and it seems to work.

in bootloader, mine also doesn't appear to recognize the device. but if you see usb on the screen, it is connected and if you flash shipped, it should work.

it helped me first time I was trying to stay calm and remember seeing this sticky thanks for making it sticky and thanks for the help. my phone is recovered I had a rom that just kept booting like a new boot over and over again. (having to hit the targets and go thru setup etc)

I found something else out the 2nd time (I had to give the rom a chance because I thought it was my fault it messed up) it was stuck again would go past boot screen to os but nothing was working I pressed all the buttons for the crazy way to reset the phone and it wasn't working but then i decided to toggle the reset button a few times while still holding all the others and got the rainbow screen I guess it going past the boot screen the buttons stopped working.

how do you enter the boot loader if you dont have any volume button keys on your phone since i took them off because they dont work..

Someone said there is like another way to load a bootloader I don't know what it is but maybe it will help caleb out if volume buttons are not needed.
