Canary Mode for MPX200

[Guest val64bit]

Hi, I wanted to know how to put the mpx200 in canary mode. I tried powering off and then on again with the button on the side pressed, doesnt work. Is connecting to the USB cradle differ in some way than just using the regular cable? Need some help, thanks.

Power off the phone then press and hold the action button while powering the phone back on.

Please bear with a relative Newbie here, but what is "Canary Mode"?

Also, doesn't holding down the Action button while powering up set the phone up to do a Hard Reset?

I'm just learnin'

its a bootloader, which starts before the os is booted

Yep,

Also we use the term "Canary" which is taken from the HTC phones.

Holding the action button while restarting will allow you to hard reset, the MPx200 equivalent of the canary mode is when you hold left on the direction pad while restarting. This won't appear to do anything exciting as the screen doesn't come on after the restart but the phone is in bootloader mode. Unfortunately none of the SPV bootloader programs do anything with the MPx200 in this mode but it only a matter of time before someone out there will find a use for it. If you want to get your phone restarted again from this mode you need to remove your battery.
