Okay, I'm in an odd situation.
I'm running a custom ROM and tried to flash an old .zip - long story short, got into a bootloop. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, I'd go into recovery with my hardware keys and just flash my ROM again.
But now that my volume keys are messed up and I haven't enabled developer debugging (to push adb commands), I'm not sure how else can I get into recovery.
Could someone please help? Is it possible for me to force developer debugging through some other method or can I get into recovery while I'm under bootloop, no volume keys, and without developer debugging?

Hello, i'm new to xda-developers.com.
Recently I installed ClockWorkMod Rom on my device. After that the volume keys ,microphone and wifi weren't working any more! So I booted the device into recovery mode using debug setting mode, to reset the device to factory mode. In the recovery mode I stupidly formatted sys and the turned off
Now my volume keys don't work (so I can to go to recovery menu) and the device sucks on booting phase (just shows htc logo).
Is there any hope to recover my phone? I tried to use adb, but it haven't recognize my phone!
Can anyone help me?!

Thanks for your reply. But no, I don't have access to recovery mode!
Is there any PC program for flash android devices with this situation?

It seems to be a real bootloop.You should have any problem by flashing a recovery or even by deleting the system partition.I mean it could cause a bootloop but as the rzr86 said you should still have access to your bootloader.If you have access to your bootloader by pressing (power)+(vol-) buttons but you can't do anything else I am afraid the only solution for you could be to flash an RUU to your device.
If you still can't get into bootloader try to remove your battery for some seconds and try again.
You could also try this guide.(I don't know if this guide can help you.)
Are you S-ON or S-OFF user? (You should probably be S-ON)
[Q] How can i select an option in recovery mode <3e> with a broken power button?
So i have an android which wont boot to the home screen (multiple "xyz.com.... process has stopped" messages followed by a black screen). Tried wiping cache/factory reset via adb, but no use. Im now trying to reinstall android using recovery mode. I managed to boot into recovery mode using adb, and can navigate with volume up/down but cannot select any options because my power button is broken.
The input keyevent command in adb didnt work either. Is there any other way I can do this/control the phone in adb while in recovery mode, or just install the image using just adb directly?
My device is rooted and running on gingerbread with usb debugging enabled.
any help at all would be much appreciated
edit:also tried menu buttons, but touchscreen does not seem to work in recovery mode.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately the only thing I can suggest is to get your power button fixed. The stock recovery is a very limited interface with the hardware and is not customizable .
And why do I not see the reply that I wrote?
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I post this question in a wrong section but there is no thread for my device on xda.
It seems like I ruined the recovery mode of my Android tablet. It's a HP Pro Slate 12 tablet with Android 5.1.1 on it. It's rooted. I wanted to install CWM Recovery to backup everything, but my device wasn't listed as a supported device. My friend told me I can install the LG G3 recovery instead because it's compatible. I installed that. Since then recovery mode completely disappeared. The device still boots in normal mode and works, but I cannot boot into recovery mode anymore. I really need it because the device boots normally but sometimes acting strange since I rooted it. I'd like to try unrooting it by going into recovery mode or doing a factory reset, but both options disappeared.
Here's what I've tried:
- I Googled this problem very thoroughly, but didn't find any help aside from "hold down 2 buttons to go into recovery mode" type of answers.
- I tried holding down volume up+power buttons while turning it on, but didn't work.
- Tried holding down volume down+power. Nope.
- Tried rebooting inside Android into recovery mode with Quick boot app. It rebooted my device but again it went into normal mode instead.
- Tried to reboot into recovery mode with ADP and FastBoot in Windows. ADB recognized my device (listed the serial number), Fastboot didn't recognize my device. So I tried to reboot into recovery with ADB. Same stuff happened. The device rebooted into normal mode.
- Tried to do a factory reset. DIDN'T work! Rebooted into normal mode once more. The factory reset hasn't deleted anything.
- I have the latest available update.zip from the official website for my device, but without recovery mode I cannot install it.
Any ideas? Did I really lose the possibility of recovery forever with a single click?

Hello did you find a solution to your problem ?
I flashed a rom, but got into a boot loop. How do I get into recovery without volume buttons working? USB debugging is also not enabled. Is there a fix or do I have to get a new phone?

Get your volume buttons repaired :/
after successfully flashing TWRP, Rooting and Installing Custom ROM, now I would like to :
-re-lock the bootloader (download mode) to prevent anyone from flashing a new ROM or any file by odin
but the OEM button in Dev Option is not available at all (disappeared)
- I would like to disable or lock access to the recovery (Custom TWRP) and download mod
I don't know
-disable power button when device is locked to prevent any one from powering it off without typing lock screen password
any ideas on how to please ? will be appreciated
I don't think you can re-oem-lock the bootloader without a stock-based ROM, and as far as I know, even if it's stock-based, it won't let you boot unless it's unmodified stock.
You can "disable access" to the recovery by basically making the recovery.img unbootable, or by making it boot to android (by flashing the boot.img to the recovery partition)
I don't think there's any method to disable access to download mode without hard bricking the device, or cutting the traces to a key on the mobo(and even then if you are rooted, you could technically reboot to download mode from android).
You can disable the power button long press on some ROMs, but it's pretty useless, since you can hard reset the phone by pressing power+vol down for 7 seconds, and there's no way to disable that without opening your phone up, and cutting the traces to your power or/and vol down button, and I don't think anyone would want to do that.
