I've been trying for the last few hours to get my N810 into flash mode so I can reflash it because I'm having some really serious problems, including but not limited to - not being able to install anything.

Anyway... even though I have to put up with my N810 not turning on for 10 mins 90% of the time after shutting it off, when I am able to turn it back on, I can't get it into flash mode where the little USB icon is shown on the white boot screen. I'm holding down the swap button then powering on, but for some reason I won't go into the mode, it just boots like normal. I've been able to get into the mode before but something isn't working now. I've tried it at least 5 times now, every time it boots up I have to shut it off and wait a while until it decides to power up.

Not to long ago (a few hours) I reformatted my internal card using the formatter on my computer. Hopefully you can do that and I didn't break something... it hasn't had any effect on the N810 except maybe not allowing me to get to the boot mode... did reformatting the internal card do something?
