ADB download mode command

Anyone knows the command in adb to boot the phone into download mode? I broke the volume flex cable and it's softbricked now
Sent from my MT11i using XDA

I'm pretty sure its "reboot download" just like through a terminal emulator from the phone (root required).

#su
#reboot download

adb shell
$ su
#reboot download
There is no need for su if you have a #

Sorry but it Reboot in Normal Mode

I think I'm also experiencing the same thing, and could really use someone's help.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and have rooted it. My display is broken, so would try to use the how-to to create a headless backup.
When I try to reboot it into download mode, it seems to never come back. I believe it's waiting for a keypress on the phone, or scrolling through a menu to select the right option so it can continue to boot. Can anyone with a working display confirm this for me?
I rooted it a while ago, so don't remember what's on the screen.
When I try to reboot in recovery mode, I'm also unable to select the proper menu option to continue to boot into recovery mode.
Is it always necessary to boot into download mode first, or only if you want to download something? In other words, if I only want to reboot into recovery, can I skip the download mode boot first?
Ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex

You don't need to enter download mode first. From command prompt enter adb reboot recovery and your good to go

thanks this saved a lot of hours

I also installed custom rom AOSPrime. and then for going back to stock, i needed to enter download mode. None of the commands worked. i made a backup of everything in twrp except system and data. so i restored that back, and then voila, the LG logo was back but didnt boot(obvious). Now i could easily go by the vol up and then usb connection process to goto download mode.
the default stock settings enable the download mode to work.
if anyone needs the backup, mine may be of other region, but it could surely bring back the lg logo and stuff.
quote me and i will post the link

ggossamer : before download mode you need to confirm download mode with volume+ or you can cancel the thing with vol- , IIRC .
For your other questions, I think, recovery with a broken screen might be difficult, maybe use ADB

That's what a semi brick looks like.. could also be a full brick. I've been able to reach fatsboot with it in that mode and then flash a modified hboot file and then flash twrp and then recover.
Try unplugging/replugging, reboot PC, uninstall all phone software/drivers, reinstall latest HTC Sync. Either fastboot or an RUU should still work.
If none of that works you could try the unbrick evita thread, you'll need linux or a linux boot disk.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate. Try not to panick, that will only make it harder to focus and get it working again.

Hi, No I cant boot into the boot loader using VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON, and I am S-OFF. I was trying to use adb since my volume down button doesnt work, so I can boot into recovery. And Im stuck in a bootloop.

it doesnt work, it says the devise is unauthorized. Andriod 4.4.2 has a safety feature where you have to first confirm whether you want to use adb to use adb, and i cannot do that because im stuck in a bootloop.
so when i type any adb command it says devise unauthorized

im also waiting this solution.
stuck in logo, and can't confirm popup cornfirmation

Help installing recovery without root

Hey XDA I have decided to root my yuphoria(YU5010A) and start exploring it's capabilities however I do not know how to use adb nor can I get my hands on a pc right now. That means I have to gain root access(already done) and install a recovery all from my phone itself. I did try to do it via terminal emulator but I hard bricked my yuphoria and had to get it repaired and I can't afford to lose my phone again so please tell me a method that's already tried and tested.
Regards Andbug
P.S. You are dealing with a noob so explain in detail.

u cannot flash recovery without pc! on yuphoria!!
reboot to fastboot mode and then connect ur phone to pc/lappy! type
fastboot -i 0x2A96 flash recovery twrp.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
u need adb and fastboot package As Usual
after flashing dont reboot remove the cable and battery!
after 20sec insert the battery and hold power and vol down button together when the phone shows YU logo leave the power button and start pressing vol down button continuously untill you see TWRP logo! after that it will ask you to allow Modifications to system! ALLOW IT and then down! you have twrp!

Just download any recovery.img from xda and flash it using flashify ..tried it on two yuphoria.works perfectly...

Root yu5010a with King root 1st
2nd Install flashify
3rd flash TWRP recovery manually with flashify

Booting into Flashmode

I have a Sony Xperia L.
I attempted to unlock the bootloader, and was successful, but the down button broke.
I can't boot into Flashmode without the down button, and I need to flash the rom because it is currently in a bootloop.
How can I flash into flashmode?
Please help me.

You can try adb commands either adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader depending on what mode you want to get.

You don't seem to understand, the device is in a bootloop.

I didn't see this part, you have to start from a device totally off otherwise won't work, for that press the three buttons simultaneously and stay prepared to try PWR + volume up, you can also flash in fastboot mode, you'll see that the LED turns either green or blue, open firstly device manager on Windows and when device is detected you have to update the drivers.
