Help Fastboot Issue

I cannot initiate fastboot on my GW620. Firmware is V10b and I've tried both space and space+menu many times to initiate fastboot. When I remove the battery and plug in the USB cable to the ports, the only response from the phone is an animation showing that the battery has not been inserted.
Any ideas?
Thanks
 
I know from experience that getting into fastboot isn't simple - the trick is to plug in your phone to the USB (without battery) and wait until the screen lightens just a tiny bit. Then press the space bar.

If you are too early it won't work and if you're a bit late then no go. It took me a few tries until I got the timing down.

I agree that you need version "f" of the firmware.

This may seem obvious to most of you but it wasn't to me the first few times I tried it. I've done a lot of reading (and I imagine I have lots more to go).

I like the OpenEtna but it is still a bit flaky for me. Reboots seem to solve all the problems so far.
