Press and hold the camera and power buttons together while inserting the battery until the boot loader menu appears. press the volume down button within 10 seconds to bring up the recovery option. You can do an update.zip if somebody has the courage to try to flash something! If you press the volume up button within 10 seconds it brings you to a fastboot screen but it says that fastboot is disabled!

There is also a 2nd screen I found. If you power on the phone with the squares button (menu) held down it will bring up a blue screen at the bottom that says "Bootloader USB Int". When i plug it into the USB on my PC it comes up with a new device "Motorola Flash Interface" I may be onto something here!
 
What can u do if the Cliq can flash????


Is this your first Android phone or something? We want to be able to flash custom ROMs. Motorola hasn't specified if they were going to update to 2.0 with the Cliq. MotoBlur is basically a custom build of Android. I love the phone but I want the option to be able to upgrade or change the phone as I want.

(haha). Why, YES, this is my 1st droid. I have no idea what "flash" is but if its going to be something i want on my phone, I want to do it. Please keep us all posted on when "flashing" can be done on the Cliq. I've had a blackberry for over 7 yrs, so getting used to this Cliq is HARD..... :)

I am keeping my eyes on a few different forums waiting for this! When I started flashing the different roms out there on my G1 was when I really started having fun with Android and started to see its potential. I am just waiting on some developer to crack this phone. Manufacturers don't really want us to have full access to our phones because we can brick them. Welcome to Android!
