Can you boot the phone? If so, use Rom Manager to boot into recovery from the main options menu.

not sure if this will work as he says he's on stock. unless it's stock rooted by attn1 that is.
otherwise, if you have the android sdk and/or adb installed, you can just pass open a command prompt in the folder with adb and connect your phone over usb (make sure debugging mode is enabled via settings --> apps --> development). then in the command prompt, simply type adb reboot recovery.
hope tihs helps

Even when you use ROM manager to boot into recovery how are you going to use recovery without your volume buttons working?

As long as the power (enter) button works, you ate okay. The menu softkey will scroll down and the return will take you back one menu.
Edit: are okay

Tried that and all you get is the rom manager picture in the middle of the screen.
What version has those options in it ?

Have found a program in Desire HD development.
You can change your recovery.

Yes with adb command line, in the PC typing "adb reboot recovery", this method working very fine too if your phone stuck in boot loop and the volume keys not working, for this problem the steps are:
1. remove battery
2. insert battery and put the cover
3. conect the usb cable to pc and phone
4. waiting 10 seconds and with adb command line in the PC typing "adb reboot recovery" and the phone restart in recovery mode and here you navigate with the touch buttons home= up menu=down search=enter

how do i do that..i never did it before

You can't. Either your power button needs to be working or you phone needs to actually boot up to send it into recovery

i can get the phone to boot...i just cant get into recovery
i can get to the bootloader screen i just cant select..recovery

What I meant by boot was to actually boot up the os. Not just make it to the bootloader.

so basically im ****ed??

Unless you get the power button to work you are stuck.

bump bump...anyone got any ideas!?!?!

adb reboot recovery ? Won't that work ?
Once you get into recovery you can use the bottom four buttons to navigate through recovery. If I am not mistaken Menu to scroll up, Home button to scroll down, Search to select and Back to go to the previous menu.
Anyways you can always flash from command line using fastboot.

When your power button is broke you can't scroll and select anything in fastboot. It freezes.
You can't adb reboot recovery if the phone doesn't boot up the os. Can't use any fastboot commands either cause its stuck.
He is screwed. Getting power button to work/unstick whatever you want to call it is only way.

If I am not mistaken he can boot into OS, He can go to bootloader but he just can't select Recovery because of the broken power button.
So using adb and fastboot shouldn't be a problem at all. As far CW recovery is concerned you can navigate without using power button as well

problem solved...i took the phone apart and cleaned the power button with alcohol..and it worked!!

For possible future use, you can install an app called Rebooter, which can boot your phone right into recovery.

[Q] What's the button combinations to boot into recovery or fastboot?

I was able to root, install TWRP, and permanent root using adb commands to get into fastboot and recovery. What's the proper key press combo because I cannot figure this out?

1. FIRST of all, make sure that Fast Boot is off (Settings --> Power --> Fast Boot (uncheck).
2. Power off the unit.
3. While holding the volume button DOWN, press the power button. If you get the splash screen, you'll have to power off again and try again.
4. Hold both buttons for a second or two until you feel the vibration, then release the volume down button, the bootloader screen will come up.
5. Select hboot (if not already selected). Use volume button to scroll down to recovery. Press power. You will then see the splash screen (with red lettering unless you flashed an alternate hboot) and the unit will boot to recovery.
Do yourself a favor and either figure out a way to get the Advanced Power dialogue into your ROM, or download Quickboot which will do the same thing.

Oh Jebus! None of the instructions I found mentioned turning off Fast Boot. I was sitting here last night for like 10 minutes trying to get into fastboot before I was like, "adb reboot fastboot"

If you have tritium back-up you can go to menu select reboot to recovery.

See hgoldner's reply; very good walkthrough.
If you want to install a mod to get the Advanced Power Menu (APM) with additional reboot options, I used this.
Good luck. :good:

Yeah, I was looking for the key combo though, so if I ever bootloop or break something I can just restore a nandroid

Hello.
I will tell you how.
First, unlock bootloader of course.
Get your twrp recovery file.
In command line (If cmd doesnt work do it in Windows POWERSHELL)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
once finished
fastboot boot twrp.img
and after typing this just keep holding VOL UP.
Until screen is black for like 10 seconds press power button twice(or once) and twrp will show up

Switch A/B slots

Hi!
Is there any way to reboot betwen slots more easy? Now to do so I need to reboot to recovery switch slot then reboot system.
I was wondering if there is not an app or something that let you reboot directly to other slot without needing to go through recovery.
One of ROMS does not have advanced reboot so I need to plug it to PC and reboot to recovery via ADB or power off the phone then go to fastboot then to recovery, and is becoming anoying.
Waiting for your responses!
Thanks!!

Why not hold power and volume down upon reboot or add a reboot to recovery button somewhere

Yea, that works but it would be nice to have a option in reboot menu to reboot to other slot.
