[Q] Phone only boots into recovery because of home button!

Last night i i wet my phone and since then the home button seems to be stuck or fryed or idk. it only boots into recovery and when i try to use the home button (ex. try to power off via recovery and press home to confirm, flash a rom press homee to confirm), it doesnt do anything. so now im stuck in recovery trying to figure out what i can do? any ideas? is there anything i can do in adb to get it to boot properly?

OK, that should work: You need a fastboot enabled spl (death/hard/eng) for that, and a kernel boot.img, ideally the one from the rom you are using (it is inside the zip archieve, just extract it).
Boot -> Recovery (automatically...)
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot boot.img
Well, your homebutton will still be screwed, but at least it should boot if the system is still ok.

Well I went into adb and started punching in commands. Reboot android did the trick. I think I may do as u say tho just in case my phone dies for some reason. Appreciate it

Well I still have the home button problem but now I'm stuck again.....I want to flash the new cy rc3 but don't know how to do it. I can't press home to confirm the wipes and the flashing....I think saw a post somewhere a while back about flashing through adb but can't find it no more. Anybody have any ideas or know how?

Amon-RA recovery is also compatible with TB.
Do you have blackrose hboot ? In that case you can choose from boot menu to go to recovery mode with the TB (no need for power button anymore with Blackrose).
Else : You have to use adb to go back to recovery while the ROM is bootlooping.
adb reboot recovery
I hope it helps (I have broken power button too ^^)

My problem is that i needpower button to go to recovery

read my previous post I gave you 2 ways without power button
If you don't know what blackrose hboot is then you don't have it. If you don't know how to use adb, search on xda or google.

already working. but i still need a app do wake the screen when this is off. any idea, please.the fix power button doesn´t work in miui...

have u not got trackball wake or volume wake?
MIUI have them ....

What rom do you have in your phone?
My power button doesn't work anymore. So I'm using Blackrose flashboot, Amon-RA recovery and TexasIce rom, with the apps quick boot and lock screen. After that I forgot that the power button had existed some day...

follow these command once you are booted in your old ROM
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

[Q] Can't boot into recovery or erase recovery (TRIED ERASING CACHE)

Hi I am trying to work through the process of rooting my HTC One.
I have some experience with android as I've rooted three different phones now, the One is the only one giving me trouble :/
So I got the bootloader unlocked via the HTC Dev method, and now I'm trying to get recovery to work. I've flashed CWM, CWMT, and TWRP, and no matter which I try I can't boot into recovery via "adb reboot recovery" or via the HBOOT menu. When I try the phone just goes through a regular reboot. I can't use ROM Manager to do it either naturally since I don't have root yet (need recovery to install SuperSU).
However ROM Manager does show I have CWM and TWRP installed (both? weird) so I tried to start over by doing "fastboot erase recovery" but it says
FAILED: (remote: not allowed)
I tried "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing a recovery and nothing at all changes.
Any ideas? Could I have missed something really simple and stupid? I'm pulling all my hair out trying to figure this out.
I heard some people got it to work by flashing the recovery to the boot partition, but until I get assurance that isn't a terrible horrible idea (like it seems) I don't want to try that.
EDIT: yes, the "fast boot" option in the power menu is already disabled.

I had the same issue. Solved it by disabling the fast boot option within the OS. Under power options.
Worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply but that option is already disabled

I was facing the same problem, however, what I did was turn on fast boot under settings right after I flashed the recovery.
Then, I rebooted back into the bootloader and I now had ***TAMPERED*** at the top of my screen. I afterwards selected reboot into recovery and bam, I now had TWRP on my phone.

Just tried that, didn't work
Also why would you have TAMPERED at the top? Did you change anything else to get that like flash a different HBOOT or fastboot or something?
I'm about to throw this thing out the window -___-

SOLVED
Hallelujah, I got it!
I did nothing differently, but eventually it worked...very weird, but at least I got it! The final iteration to get it working was this:
1. Turn off fast boot option in power menu
2. Boot into bootloader via power menu, then power + vol down
3. go into fastboot
4. from a cmd window, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. fastboot erase cache
6. from the menu, boot into recovery
7. phone boots to the OS instead of recovery
8. boot back into the bootloader via power menu, power + vol down
9. TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and it works!
note that i never used adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader, idk if that matters, but I did everything from the phone.
thanks for all your help!

For what it's worth, I use ROM Toolbox's Reboot to recovery option and it works. Though I can see where you'd need to boot to recovery from startup.

This worked like a charm where nothing else had worked before!

[Q] Stock phone bricked from OTA?

I got my wife a Moto X yesterday, which has not been rooted or modified at all, and got the 4.4 update notification today. I downloaded the update and tried to install it. During the install, the phone tried to reboot but it got stuck at the Motorola logo. It sat there for over an hour, so I turned the phone off. As soon as the phone turns off, it turns itself back on and gets stuck at the Motorola logo. I can get the phone into recovery mode, but selecting Recovery and Factory options do nothing but go back to the Motorola logo. I have tried using the Toolkit to flash the phone, but it needs to be either in Android or the bootloader so I can't seem to do anything. Do I have any other options? I would prefer to fix it myself because I can't take the phone back to AT&T until Sunday and I don't want my wife (who is pregnant) to be without her phone for that long.

Did you try to just erase user data ? (You will lose person content on the phone)
Did you try to just erase cache ?
Did you try to boot only in safe mode ?

I can't do any of that because I cannot get into the OS.

Can you get into recovery or bootloader?
Sent from my XT1053 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Go in fastboot mode. (Power up holding vol Dow key)

When you are trying to select options in fastboot are you using the volume up to select them? I've read a lot of places where people try to use the power button to select when they should be using vol up.

I have the same problem with my T-Mobile moto I received yesterday. Prompts for update, downloads and attempts to install, then opens in bootloader with 'Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56'. If i try to boot into recovery it gives the same error, 'Failed to hab check for recovery:0x56'. If I try to factory reset from the settings menu the phone powers off and does the same thing.
I read somewhere that the bootloader and recovery images need to be flashed again but I can't seem to find a working link to download them. I should add that once I use Minimal Fastboot to give the command 'fastboot erase cache' the phone will reboot properly and prompt me to download the update again. All is good as long as I dont try to update to Kit Kat. Please help, it will be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to flash TWRP?
What happend when you press the power button for a long time?
Normaly the 2 buttons should blink, then the One goes really off and then it starts with the htc logo.
Is this happend?
What recovery you using? What Rom? Its rooted i think?

Hold the power button and volume-down until the device turns on. Then keep holding volume-down until the fastboot screen starts. Can you enter recovery? If so, clear cache. If not, get in fastboot mode, connect to USB, and run "fastboot erase cache". (You need your drivers and fastboot program set up on your computer.) If that doesn't allow booting to system and recovery, reinstall recovery using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. Then boot to TWRP (via fastboot, navigating the menus using the power and volume buttons). You can the nreinstall a ROM, and if needed, factory reset.
