spv c550 boot loader

[Guest themanwhowas]

hi guys. i have spent the last 2 hours trying to get into the boot loader for the orange spv c550. i have searched on the net and i get the same instructions. 'press and hold the record button while turning on the phone. a few seconds after the phone turns on let go of the record button and it will go to the 3 colour canary screen.' i assume that the record button is the internet explorer button. i have also tried the camera button. every time i try it i just boot normally and get to the sim password screen. i have also tried holding the 'record' button while turning the phone off and turning it back on with the button still held. this is not happenning. what am i doing wrong????

thanks

ok so i turned my phone off, removed the sd card, held the camera button and turned the phone on. i am immediately greeted by the orange splash screen (orange as in the network provider not the colour) then after a few seconds it changes to the windows splash screen. a few more seconds and im asked for my sim pin. what am i doing wrong here?

Hmm strange :S

How long you pressing power on for?

Just press it, dont press and hold for a second and dont let go of the camera button until you see the boot loader screen (if you eventually do)

holy crap. i just got it to work like 3 seconds ago. i was holding the power button as i would when turning the phone on. i didnt realise that i just had to press it. thank you very much for your help. :)
