Cannot escape from Bootloader - pls help! URGENT

I attempted to upgrade my Orange SPV M500 (HTC Magician).
The tool failed, and did not install anything.
However, my phone has remained stuck on the "Bootloader", displaying a white screen with "serial" if it's not plugged into the Pc, or "USB" when it is.
I've tried different reset techniques, having the battery out for long periods.
My phone booted up once, then silly me I tried the same tool again, and am back stuck!!
I bet it's something simple to press to get it to boot normal - but I just can't see it.
Please help. I know I'm in the right place to ask.

Bootloader
you can try camera + record + reset button to get it out off boot loader mode
if it doesn't work you have to flash it

If this doesn't work, just download the correct rom, and run the update program, this will hopefully sort the problem out if pressing the buttons doesn't work.
hope this helps

It apears error 302, comunnication!(the qtek is in usb, but he reboot automatic and PC show this error).
Can anyone Help Me..

Can you enter bootloader? Hold the comm manager button, and soft reset.

Dependant on phone sometimes you have to hold just the camera button to get to the triband screen to re-flash

As far as I know, you can only enter the bootloader on a prophet the way I described, but I shall try what you have said next time I need it.

try to change your usb cable.
It was a solution for me , not the same problem but we never know. Give it a try .
Hope that helps.

Bootloader (tri color screen) + Radio Info

I manager to get into the Bootloader by taking out the battery then reinserting it, holding the camera button then pressing the end key
Dose this unit have a reset button that i missed (i have only had this unit for 1/2 hour

While in the Bootloader the PC doesn't detect the phone
i can't seem to get it to switch to USB, it keep on serial
i am going to do some more testing with img on SD when i get home
Where are the debugging drivers for software dev, i didn't see them in the SDK

Good progress, we need usb support

That's the bootloader there, funny, looks the same as the other htc devices. Would this mean that firmware uploading G1 -> windows and other htc devices-> android would be easy?

The hang up button is the reset button. Just hold it for a few seconds and it will give you the option to shut down.
Very strange, once in boot loader, hitting the back button refreshes the screen. Normally it says serial0 but i plugged in the USB hit back and now there isn't a serial0. Must be in USB mode, but nothing popped up on my screen.

I love just how fast you guys get to work on hacking into all the phones you get your hands on.

ooooooo..... wonder if we can put other radios on it to get better battery life (like with the tilt)

Update
Update: DREAIMG.nbh on a sd card has no response
pressing the camera or back buttons seems to refresh the screen
but if a usb is plugged in the serial 0 goes away (no usb device detected)
if you press home and back while turning on the unit you get the hard reset screen (i haven't tried it yet)
btw i experience a error during one of the boot cycle that gave me a exclamation mark next to the phone, but after a reset it went away.

Try installing the usb drivers. Maybe that might make a difference.

(THIS WILL REMOVE ALL APPS BUT NOT YOUR PIX AND MUSIC!!)
Slide open keyboard
Press Alt and L at the same time you will get a screen with some options listed
Press Alt and W at the same time to wipe device to factory reset
Once it is finished press home and back key at the same time
Remove the battery
Reinsert the battery
This will wipe your device to factory reset and should fix your issue… You will need to log in to your gmail account like you initially did.

I can get to this on the G1. Here's the menu I see:
Code:
Android system recovery utility
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Home+Back - reboot system now
Alt+L - toggle log text display
Alt+S - apply sdcard:update.zip
Alt+W - wipe/data/factory reset
It seems encouraging that it's checking for a file named "command". Anyone know if /cache is on the SD or the internal ROM?

/cache is internal

Doesn't have standard SPL, USB drivers. What the hell's this ?

Maybe this is the right one or fake ?

I like the "apply SDcard:update.zip" HEHE encouraging to me HEHE
Anyone wanna try and flash with one of the old beta sdk's?

Bootloop after trying to install LineageOS 18.1

Hi,
I'm having troubles after following the guide here - https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/guacamole/install
I initially had stock Android 11 with latest update. I've followed the instructions, all went well until I rebooted to system. It just tries to boot for a few minutes, then it restarts and does this again. Doesn't seem to boot.
Is there a way to fix this?
Also, would be possible to get back to stock rom and how?
Thank you in advance!

Managed to fix, in the end. Was a real headache.
If anyone is having similar problem and they have to unbrick their phone, I suggest this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.3954325/
Follow the steps in that thread. To enter EDL mode, you will have to turn off your device, hold Volume UP and Volume down (without power button) and while holding insert the USB cable into the phone and into your PC. By doing so, it will be detected by the computer and will show up in Device Manager.
The most annoying issue I had was the phone was connecting for a few seconds, then disconnect. What worked for me after many many tries was using a newer image, mine being an international device I used 10.3.8. I opened MSM from the 10.3.8 package and Device Manager, connected the cable to the computer, but not to the phone, I've pressed volume up and down, connected the cable to the phone while holding volume buttons and as soon as Qualcom driver showed up in Ports (COM & LPT), I hit start on MSM.
If it still gives you the error "Sahara Communication Failed. Please try again after power off phone" try with a different package version, for me this one worked, but before that I've tried with a different one and I was getting this error.
Hope it will help someone, at some point. I know how frustrating it is and if I helped you be less frustrated than I was, that's a win.
