Happy to hear that you're able to enter bootloader mode using the buttonless example. The known issues with the buttonless example is listed here.

I am able to enter the bootloader mode now. I had not enabled the notifications for the service.

Just to sum up the steps:

Compile Secure Bootloader example.
Flash the softdevice
Flash the bootloader.
Compile the DFU Template application and transfer it to device using zip file.(I used android device) => Make sure to add

char_md.char_props.write = 1;

to your ble_dfu.c in the function rx_char_add()

Voila, device enters bootloader mode without any button press. :)
