Okay. Unplug your phone from the computer. Put the battery back in. With the keyboard extended press and hold the d-pad as Wozzy instructed. Now power the phone back on while holding the d-pad and keep holding that d-pad. See if you can get into the bootloader.

Plug your phone into your PC with the battery out, press up on the d pad, and put the battery back in. If it shows the M screen, rinse and repeat. If it stays black then says bootloader, RSD should detect it to flash the sbf.

While the phone is fully off, press and hold the down button on the dpad, then press and hold the power button while still holding the down button. Its either down or up but one of them should get you in to the bootloader.

Down is for stock recovery; up is for bootloader if I'm not mistaken.

That's what I was rolling with, since some of you seem to be D1 users. And yes, I just sat there with the down button held down for quite some time and got no new results. Will retry with the up key.
