To get a shell in the bootloader:
10
* Power off the phone
11
* Start sending some characters through the UART
12
* Press the volume down button and the power button to power up the phone
13
* Release the buttons when the phone has powered up
14
* Once you get the shell, you can stop sending characters through the UART | At some point the boot procedure switches to the modem UART, it's probably some linux driver doing that |

 To get the UART enabled at boot with the stock bootloader:
18 57 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Power the phone off and remove the battery
19
* Put a battery in
20 62 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Hold the select button
21 57 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Plug the UART
22 70 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Release the select button
