First, it needs power and if the battery goes flat while you try and fix it that is another problem. So plug it into the charger and make sure it has juice.
Catch it between boots, meaning when it shuts off and before it starts again.
In that moment, Hold the Volume Up button until you see the Lightning Bolt and Gear screen. THEN connect to the computer and try WDRT.
