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.
I HAVE AN XPERIA E (C1504) . NOT ROOTED!!! BOOTLOADER NOT UNLOCKED!!! SO,.... THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY POWER BUTTON IS COMPLETELY BROKEN... (COMPLETELY) . ALTHOUGH MY PHONE IS ON RIGHT NOW... (AS I HAVE INSTALLED GRAVITY SCREEN APP).... BUT STILL I NEED TO RESTART MY PHONE IF IT GETS BUGGY IN THE FUTURE..... SO MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN I RESTART MY PHONE WITHOUT POWER BUTTON.... SOME APPS DO RESTART BUT THEY REQUIRE ROOT... IVE READ OF SOMETHING LIKE TURNING ON THE USB DEBUGGING OPTION... AND USING A REBOOT COMMAND.. SOMETHING LIKE THAT... PLEASE TELL ME COMPLETE PROCEDURE AS I AM A BIG NOOB... I M EVEN READY TO DONATE MONEY IF YOU HELP...
It's simply "adb reboot"
USB Debugging must be on
Or via Terminal Emulator: "reboot"
Well dont know how???

ACTUALLY PLEASE GUIDE ME WHAT TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ON PC I am super noob at androiding:crying:..... AND DO I NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED.. cause if i need then i dont have....
also how to use terminal emulator app method??? does it require root??
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.
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
On an Asus Zenpad 3s 10 Z500KL tablet, RU Unistaller Pro has been wrongly used to freeze an app named "ZenUI Launcher". After restart, only notification bar and Settings work. I need to run RU Unistaller Pro to defrost "ZenUI Launcher".
How can I run RU Unistaller Pro in this situation (via ADB, or any other solution)?
Or if you have any other solution, please guide me.
Sincere thanks in advance
Dr.Ghobar

In the tablet, when I click on “View in Google Play Store”, Google Play page opens but in a normal web page not in mobile mode. I searched for RU Uninstaller. It was found. How should I "start" it from there?

There is an "OPEN IN PLAY STORE APP" at the bottom of the page. When I click on it, another page opens (https://goo.gl/app...) and says: "404. That's an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That's all we know."
So, how should I "start" it from there?

Maybe try googling like the google app on your browser, then it might open Google Play store without issues.

You can also use a terminal emulator app or the terminal emulator that is built into TWRP to run adb shell commands(adb shell, not regular adb). Terminal emulator and adb shell are virtually the same thing, they both use the same commands, just remove the "adb" or "adb shell" part from the commands.

1. Before posting this thread, I had seen the link you mentioned. I could not figure out how to use it to solve my problem.
2. can you explain how to use your own suggestion about "terminal emulator app"? (as far as I know, there is no TWRP for this tablet.)

You don't have TWRP but do you have root? If your device isn't rooted, terminal emulator won't work.
If you are rooted, install the Terminal Emulator app, open terminal emulator(grant superuser permission when promoted), then type:
su (then press enter)
Then type the am command as described in the link, just change the command to input the name of the actual apk file associated to the app that you want to start, you have to know the actual name of the app package instead of the name of the app as it appears in app drawer or homescreen. I don't know the actual package name of the app(s) you want to start so you will have to figure out the exact command for yourself.

Ok without root, you need to add --user 0 to the am command and you wouldn't have to type the "su" command first before typing the am command, you just type the am command.
So you would add it to the command as follows:
am start --user 0 (then the rest of the command including the proper package name for the app you desire to start)

If terminal emulator doesn't work, install "adb/fastboot 15 second installer" on your PC, then open a terminal on PC, connect your device to PC while the phone is booted into system as you would normally use the device, then type:
adb devices (press enter, if it returns a serial number you're connected)
Then type:
adb shell (press enter)
This will put you in adb shell to run shell commands
Then type:
adb shell (along with the rest of your am command with --user 0 and your app package name)
Hopefully, that works for you.

If Terminal Emulator works for you without root, you can create a script as a batch file (.bat file, select "file" in note editor, then "save as", then "all files", name the file "whateveryouwant.bat) using a note editor on PC with the commands contained in order in the file. Move the created file to your device and store it in the root of your internal sdcard, then run the script by opening Terminal Emulator and typing the command to run your batch file script whenever you want, this can automate the process somewhat.
