[AC Question]

Here it is and it is frustrating the you know what out of me.

Had this phone for awhile and rooted it back in January using Poot / Ministro II.
No problems ever with the root and I once did a factory reset and re rooted using the same two by. using power and Volume buttons.
The phone has had Superuser and Titanium back up on it since I did the root.
My problem is that I cannot access any menu for recovery or factory reset.
Holding the power and volume up button will leave the phone hanging on the Huawei screen. Volume down and Power just powers up phone normally. Cannot get this to boot menu with Fastboot app, CWM or even with ADT bundle.

No different even if I try without SD card in phone. I have done plenty of reading and can't find help.

Does this sound like a kernel problem?
