Help - stuck in bootloader mode

[Guest pcuk]

Tried to root the mini but nothing is happening - followed Pauls instructions but all I have managed to do is to get stuck in bootloader mode with no apparent way to back out.

All help gratefully received as I need the phone to work!

just take out the battery then swittch it on it should be ok if you need more help just get back to me

Many thanks for the quick reply.

I didn't want to take the battery out without confirmation that nothing more would go wrong!

All working properly again, now I've just got to sort out this rooting thing!

I was told the phone was rooted and indeed the ninja icon is shown but when I open it, it appears to be empty apart from the title saying superuser permissions and when I press preferences it shows up two options

Tap action and Notification. Is this right or is there something missing?

Many thanks again.

Thanks Ricky,

I took the battery out as you first suggested and it's now OK.

Can you possibly help with the rooting question?

Cheers,

Peter

Quick note on this post you dont need to flash the recovery you can just boot it using the fastboot boot command.

Thanks for all this, but I don't yet understand all the jargon. For example returning to absolute basics How do I make my Mac recognise that the phone is connected via USB? It charges but there is no acknowledgement that it is otherwise connected.

Cheers,
