[Q]Reboot into bootloader without power button

Hi,
The power button of my transformer is broken :
I can't power on the device, but I can light on/off the screen.
In order to fix it, I've got to send it to the customer service, but before I need to flash it back to stock.
To flash it I need to go to bootloader or download mode (I dunno what volume+/power is??)
Here is the thing, I did some searches and I tried :
- via adb
- directly from the terminal emulator
- via some widgets with boot mode selection
None of these work, all these methods make the transformer perform a normal reboot.
I'm rooted, and my rom is one of the first ICS beta Revolver.
I just need to flash it back to stock.
Thx in advance.

Reboot into bootloader without power button
Hi fastreward,
It should be possible to boot into recovery from software; for example, I've seen Megatron Parts (for Megatron ROM) boot into recovery after downloading some Plugin.
ROM Manager has an option to reboot into recovery, have you tried it? I think I used one of the options of ROM Manager to update something in my phone (not the ROm nor in my tablet) because it was part of the process, and I believe it rebooted into recovery.
Hope it helps so you can restore your Transformer to STOCK and send it to service.

Vol up + power button get you into APX mode.
(Good only if you're SBK v1 for NVFLash)
If you have CWM recovery, this will boot you into it.

Thanks ! Maybe there is a command to reboot in APX mode ?

If you have CWM recovery, just download an official firmware from Asus website.
Extract the zip file from within, put it on your sd card (or where ever CWM can see it)
Flash the zip file and once reboot you'll be unroot with stock recovery.
(Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing)

If you can get the tf to do a normal reboot, just hold down the Volume-Down button as it's doing that, and when the screen pops up it will ask checking-for-rck then press volume up to boot into the recovery image, no power button required. (note you do need it to select in recovery, unless you have touch version)
Alternative hold vol-up while soft rebooting to go into APK (sbkv1 only)

[Resolved] Stuck at boot screen in recovery

I have a commtiva z71 variant- Videocon V7500 Evolve.
When I boot it in recovery it's stuck at the boot screen.
It's booting properly and is rooted to cm 7.1 (2.3.7).
I flashed cwm lot of times but no luck.:crying:
I am a new to android.
Please help!!!

So you can boot your phone normally, but you can't boot on recovery...hm and you said that you "flashed" CWM many times? Well then I'm going to give you an alternative way to install CWM recovery. So
1. Go in bootloop. Well I guess you know how but I will describe the way just in case. Bootloop is when the phone is on the loading screen with the hourglass. And to enter in bootloop usually (On my phone atleast) I have to hold down the "volume down" and the "End call button" Red one, and press the power up.
2. Connect your phone with your pc via usb.
3. Download the attached file below.
4. Extract the file you downloaded and navigate from pc in the "fastboot" folder. Double click the "install-recovery-windows.bat" file.
After doing these steps you should have CWM 5.0.2.7 ready to boot.

It's probably a bad flash, he needs to wipe/factory reset and then flash a rom again.

Thanks for your help I will try it and inform you asap.
Earlier it was working properly but suddenly it stopped.
Sorry for late reply
I have another question that the link that you gave me is of cwm 5.0.2.7 but my phone supports cwm 2.5.1.3.
Hope to look for a positive reply.
Thanks again

What do you mean by "supports" ?
Which version of recovery you should install on your phone just has to do with what Rom you want to install, or to be more accurate which version of android your ROM has.
So you should install your recovery mode depending on what you want.
1. AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 - Link (for android 2.1)
2. V1.8.1.4 recovery - Link (For Android 2.2)
4. Recovery CMW Ascend - Link (For android 2.3+ )
5. Recovery 4.0.1.5 - Link (2.2-2.3+)
6. Recovery 5.0.2.3 - Link And instalation Link (for android 2.3+)
7. Recovery 5.0.2.6 - Link (For android 2.3+)
8. Recovery 5.0.2.7 - Link (For android 2.3+)
The example above is taken from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608000 In the second post.
So to be quick, there is no restriction on your recovery you can use whichever you need to.

[Q] Need help to root XT925 on JB 4.1.2

I want to root my XT925 on JB 4.1.2 (fido). So, I follow 0mega1's method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118483
1. unlocked bootloader;
2. flashed epinter's CWM recovery
3. install supersu.
I have tried for 3 weeks, but failed.
the supersu is not installed, showing " no su binary, supersu cannot install it"
Would someone please help. tell me the process step by step. I am new for Android.
Question: after flashing epinter's CWM recovery, the phone in still in AP fastboot state, what shall I do? Just simply press the power button to go to the normal phone state?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes, press the power button to turn off the device; But Are you sure you have CWM recovery installed??
if yes, did you get the file in the link? It´s not install superSU from market, you must install via CWM the file in the link; I attached the file to simplify you the thing.
Save it to the root of your SD, turn off your phone, press both volume keys and power at the same time 2sec to be sure and drop the power button first and after the 2 volume keys; use - Volume to move to RECOVERY and pres + Volume to select.
I u have CWM Recovery it should appear, use it to install the file attached and you are rooted.

[Q] Reset my Honor H60-L04 now no SD card

My H60-L04 was having so much trouble I factory reseted from CWM now my SD card is not detected some one please help.:crying:
How can I go back to the stock condition like out of the box condition.:crying:

To get back to stock condition, you must patient because there are quite a number of steps if you haven't already downloaded the files and prepared drivers before.
The steps:
In fast boot mode, flash stock recovery image.
Download and full stock ROM for you h6 model, uncompress it and copy dload folder to the root directory of a micro sdcard.
Insert the micro sdcard.
Apply three finger mode flash: power down phone, press and hold all vol up, vol down, and power buttons until it shows upgrading.
To flash in fast boot mode, you must prepare your PC with appropriate drivers. Fool proof installing huawei hisuite will install the necessary drivers.
You must also first download the stock recovery image and fast boot tools first and get to know the fastboot command to flash.
To boot into fast boot mode: power down, press and vol down and plug in usb cable.

Definitely you can change the defaults. Only EMUI rom works a little differently.
Here it is: Settings > Manage apps > All > Look at the bottom the left icon "Default app settings" > Click in > Change default launcher

[SOLVED] P8max softbricked, need system.img

Hi guys,
I accidentally wiped /system from my phone, and now I can't get it back.
I've tried downloading the OS zip from the Huawei site and running it from an SD card like it says, but it just fails.
I've also tried extracting system.img from the file with a tool I found here, but it won't flash with fastboot, it just fails saying it can't load the file. It seems like maybe it's encrypted in some way.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Can anyone upload a system.img file I can flash to my device?
Thanks

I did exactly like what you did and I finally found this way to solve the problem, it is simple but need you to foucs :
First of all you should have custom recovery (TWRP) , and of course to have this you should unlock you bootloader.
after you have custom recovery , go to this thread (it is custom rom for P8) , and download the rom , then move it to SD card and put it in P8max.
here is the Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...e-1-0-t3175436
Now try to flash this custom rom via recovery "do full wipe" , and wait until your device work.
Now you are using custom rom for P8 and custom recovery, of course there is many bugs and a lot of restarting but don't worry , keep going :
now download this official rom for P8max :
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=51144&version=120555&siteCode=cn
after you download this file, move "dload" folder to root of your SD card , then insert it in your P8max.
now you can't update this while you have custom recovery , so we slould go back to stock recovery fo P8max , download this stock recovery and flash it via Fastboot .
here is Stock recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/smv6aoi7p4iivfq/Recovery.img?dl=0
last step , you need to flash stock rom with one of these methods, see what work with you :
Method 1 :
1-cell phone turned off.
2-insert the SD card.
3-while pressing the volume up button + volume down key switch button, the phone automatically enters the upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade.
Method 2 :
1-put SD card into the phone.
2-press the Menu key, the system updates -> SD card upgrade -> confirm -> upgrade, backup data, select the backup data; upgrade.
Or
open Updater app, then menu then local update.
PS :
if nothing work with you you shold move "dload" folder to root of you phone memory "not SD card" , and because your phone will keep restarting try to connect it to your PC throw USB to stop restarting , and paste "dload" folder to root of your phone memory like what I said before.
then try one of the two methods above.
now wait until you P8max run with official rom and stock recovery.
hope this help, feel free to ask.

Thank you so much! It worked! It's booted up fine after installing the update from the SD card.
I'm just doing the OTA updates now.

how could the p8 rom work with our p8 max?
so this mean that i can flash this rom ?

Flash official recovery. Download official b021 ROM. Create "dload" folder in your SD card. Extract b021 and put into dload folder. Press volume up+ down button. System will auto install and reboot.
Good luck

because there is an update , you should redownload the official rom "V100R001C233B023" , they update it already .
so simply , these are steps :
1- download the official rom from here :

2- download stock recovery from here :
