Are you using the power, record button and reset button simultaneously to try and enter bootloader? I know this is a dumb question but I am just trying to throw things out because sometimes it's the simple that is being missed. I hope that is the case because this is a problem I have not had.

Unfortunately I've tried all different combinations of pressing the buttons. Holding the power button, then holding the record button with it then pressing the reset too, pressing all the buttons at the same time, etc. But yes, regardless of what sequence I use to press them, they're always pressed simultaneously. It's not a problem I can find anybody else having either :S I'm beginning to see a grim future for my phone...

This is for us new to the Kitchens, Is there any thoughts to Helmi or any of the other gurus on this site to take this kitchen and create a "service pack" upgrade to those of use using Helmi's WM6 upgrade to fix the known problems? I have read info about an upgrade to the OS. Is this the equivlent or Windows 2000 ans XP? Or is this like a SP1, SP2 change in XP? What is a kitchen in regards to the OS?

Updates are released as bugs are resolved. Check post#1 of the stickied threads for updates. As far as a SP for helmi's original WM6 test ROM, no - you're better off using the kitchen to build a new ROM (it's really simple - and getting easier).

The kitchen is the OS + the ability to customize your rom w/ a variety of additional applications and pre-configured settings. The current kitchen is for WM6, which is a complete OS replacement for WM5, the OS that shipped w/ the PPC.

Jeston,
Your screen and backlight work at hard reset time, but you have a black screen afterwards (need to specify when) and can't get into bootloader. This is really unusual, and there are probably only 3-4 people who can really help you - they're all on the kitchen team. The best advice you've gotten so far was Gguruusa's last post - click the "chat" button at the top of the page, allow the java applet to download and install itself, then describe your situation and ask for help getting into bootloader.
