[Q] Home button not working

Is any ideas how to flash CM7.2. ROM if home button not working

If you have superuser you can install terminal emulator from google play. Run it and when it opens type "su" to get superuser rights and then type "reboot download" to get in download mode. That's all :fingers-crossed: .

You should use g3mod which has touch recovery

[Q] Cant get to recovery mode

Hello,
I'm trying to get the timeshift video mod working on my Z1 C6603, android version 4.2.2. The last step is to install the mod via recovery mode, which I can't boot to. I've tried the power + volume button method but it boots the phone into safe mode. Any ideas how I could get to recovery mode?

Yes, no problem!
If you're rooted (which I expect that you probably are), just open up (or download and install if you need to) Terminal Emulator and execute this command:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
Alternatively, if you don't have/don't want Terminal Emulator, if you connect your device to your PC via ADB, this command will get you into recovery mode, too:
Code:
adb shell
reboot recovery
Hope this helps! :good:

Thanks for your help.
Yes, the phone is rooted.
Terminal Emulator only rebooted the phone after a long pause and ADB tool says "operation not permitted". It's a work phone so it might have theft protection which blocks me from accessing recovery mode. Anything else I could try?

Try
adb reboot recovery

Hi,
Phone gets rebooted normally after doing this. Maybe it needs to get a custom recovery installed?

When you type "su" does it changes the $ symbol to # ?
If you have # means that you have root access if not you don't have...

@varsketis, yes, a custom recovery should resolve your problem. I'd recommend either ClockworkMod or TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project).
@root-expert, if varsketis didn't have root, when he executed these commands:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
-OR-
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot recovery
...he would have gotten an "Access denied" error. However, since he was able to get his device to reboot in some way or another using the shell, it means that he does have a root shell (#) usable.

It's simply "adb reboot"
USB Debugging must be on
Or via Terminal Emulator: "reboot"

Get the ab tools from here and install them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Moreover you can search on the internet how to use adb tools.
Or download the Terminal Emulator apk from PlayStore, open it and enter "reboot"...
You don't need a custom recovery for that.

Actually if you want to reboot your phone via temrnal emulator your phone must be rooted. You can't run reboot command without su permissions.

Getting into Download Mode with broken Home button

Hey guys.
I have this issue - my Home button isn't working, therefore I can't use the button combination to get into Download mode. I've tried running the "reboot download" command both from Terminal Emulator (su) and ADB shell from my laptop. Both these commands only reboot the device back into the OS. What's up with that?
My device is running Cyanogenmod 11.

****, this probably should've gone into the Q&A section of the forum, sorry!

Use an app or gravity box

bro buy a usb jig (amazon 4$) which lets u driectly boot to download mode and ven sets your flash counter to 0

You cand use some xposed modules to let you chose from "Reboot menu" to Reboot into Recovery or Download Mode

How to escape TWRP? Activate ADB w/ broken screen?

So my screen broke on my Note 10+, leaving only the top 15% with display and the bottom 60% with touch. I am trying to activate ADB on it so that I can backup my internal storage.
I booted into TWRP so that I could backup the rest of my system, which I did successfully, but because of the bad touch screen I am unable to hit the ADB side load button. I'd like to reboot into the system because I have ADB enabled there, however I also cannot click the reboot to system button, only reboot to download and shutdown. Since I can't see most of the screen, it is also not possible to access the terminal and work from there.
Anybody know how I can escape TWRP or otherwise activate ADB? Thanks for the help.

Once USB Debugging successfully got enabled on Android device, ADB is supported as soon as device successfully booted up.
To turn device into ADB Sideload mode you run commands
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload

Like I said, I'm unable to boot into the system right now because I am stuck in TWRP. ADB is not enabled in TWRP upon boot, you have to press the ADB side load button, which I am unable to do.

To boot into NORMAL mode ( i.e. ADB mode ) you enter on Windows command prompt these commands, one-by-one
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot

I can not use ADB. It is for this very reason I am asking how to enable ADB. But thank you for these valuable ADB commands, I'll be sure to reboot my system once I enable ADB
