rebooting in into recovery or boot loader directly from ABD For beginners

Yeah so i wrote this guide back in 2012, it is probably very out of date, i did update some stuff but id probably look elsewhere if these are not working. you should get newer adb files anyhow, i post modern ones on my loggingkit package here Github , there are binaries for windows, linux and mac
Hi there guys so i will be telling you how to reboot to recovery or boot loader directly from adb commands
It is pretty easy
1-Download adb and install adb drivers for your phone
2-extract the files to your c directory in a folder named adb(make one)
3-once the files are located in c:\adb go to start menu then search for cmd
4-do cd c:\adb
5-check for connectivity
adb devices
if your device is not listed, the drivers are not there
6-Finally, to reboot
For download mode (it varies from device to device)
adb reboot download (Samsungs)
or
adb reboot-bootloader ( HTC )
For Recovery Mode (it is mostly the same for most phones)
adb reboot recovery
thanks for reading.

Actually, the commands to reboot into bootloader are:
adb reboot-bootloader
or
adb reboot bootloader

I know thanks for replaying

I actually use the command ADB reboot-boot loader
but since reboot recovery won,t work like reboot-boot loader
i removed the slash so people can remember these commands easily

most of the roms are having this inbuilt now,
but those who dont have, its really good to use.. :good:

you are right
these codes helped me alot
and i'm thinking if i can use the terminal emulator with these.
If yes then i can simply do a quickly reboot into recovery or bootloader using my Stock rom

Htc explorer hboot downgrade

how to do downgrde hboot for pico? pls help. sorry bad englısh.

You cannot downgrade the hboot to a lower version.. AFAIK.

This method may work but I haven't tried it yet. So be careful if you attempt it
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Connect to your PC and enter adb shell
3. Within the adb shell type:
Code:
cd /
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img
This will dump your misc partition on your PC
4. Open misc.img in any hex editor and find your version string in the format x.xx.xxx.x and change it to 0.00.000.0
5. Push the modified misc.img back to the sd card and flash it back
Code:
adb push misc.img /sdcard
cd /sdcard
erase_image misc
flash_image misc misc.img
6. Relock the bootloader using fastboot oem lock and flash an RUU containing an older HBOOT version

And you've tried to boot phone completely, plug usb in phone and pc and in Windows press start, then in the text field right above stay type:cmd and enter. You now are in command line. Now type arbeid devices, enter. The output will tell you if you are in adb mode. If yes, type adb reboot recovery and enter.
I don't have HTC, but this works for my LG o2x, LG 4x, xperia arc s and xperia mini pro. It should work on HTC if normal method are vol- and power pressed and held simultaneously.

[Q] CID incorrect update fail!

Hi guys,
I've got an HTC Chacha unlocked bootloader S-ON. I just successfully rooted it yesterday and had CWM installed. Unfortunately, while I was browsing how to increase internal memory via youtube, I installed another CWM (SkinCWM) as his video told the viewers that it can work on any android phone.I even partitioned my SD card for it.
My problem is I cant go to Recovery. It just keeps saying CID Incorrect, Update Fail!
I know there are a lot of CID threads but I assume the problem came when I installed the SkinCWM (for galaxy Y).
Please help. Knowledge on this: Dependent on tutorials.
Thank you.

Connect your phone in fastboot-usb mode and run commend prompt in your pc(if you are using Windows). then go to fastboot.exe directory by typing:
Code:
cd X:\directory
now erase your recovery partition by typing :
Code:
fastboot erase your-partition-name
This trick must solve your problem.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Please bear with me.
1. Im assuming fastboot on my phone's settings will be checked.
2. Will i find the fastboot.exe on my PC (in my case, on my c: fastboot)?
Thanks again.

At first you should download adb-fastboot toolkit to your computer.
Download it here : CLICK TO DOWNLOAD
Then extract it to your Windows drive.
Run Commend Prompt in your computer by typing CMD in RUN.(or anyway)
Type :
Code:
cd C:\Android
(C is your Windows drive, it could be D,E,etc.)
Now boot your phone on fastboot mode and connect it to PC and type :
Code:
fastboot erase <partition>
(you should type your recovery partition name instead of <partition>, it could be
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
etc.)
and you can follow this instruction if you have problem around ROOT : [Guide][S-OFF] How to root HTC Chacha (for S-OFF only)

Thanks mortal. However, as a noob on this, i really dont know how to get the partition name to erase it.... Would a factory reset do the trick? or would it just be in the same scenario after factory reset?

ADB won't recognize phone/bootloader/Can't replace recovery HELP!

So basically I found out just today we have Cyanogenmod 10.2 >.<
I downloaded the Joilaroi version, flashed it in TWRP 2.6xx and then suddenly "E: Error in updating binary script" did a bit of googling and found out that it's a common problem with TWRP > 2.3.3.0
So I was about to downgrade it to 2.3.3.0 or temp boot into CWM. Connected my phone to my laptop and went to bootloader, then did Adb devices....the list was empty.
Reinstalled HTC drivers, used different USB port...nothing.
TL;DR : Phone doesn't get recognized in Bootloader mode, Can't flash ROM, Can't replace recovery. Help!

Why don't you flash with terminal emulator?
Just put recovery.img in the root of your sdcard
Open terminal type
su
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
That's it

install htc drivers and make dure you cleared the all registry and files from your previous installation and connect your device
open cmd and go to the folder where you placed adb and type command
adb kill-server =>it will close all adb processes running at that time
adb start-server => it will start new adb process
adb devices=> to reconize your device
if it shows your device then through fastboot command flash the recovery
but make sure you have all neccessary binary files in that folder for adb and fastboot
hit thanks if helped
