Reboot on power menu? - Moto X Q&A

Is there any way to get Reboot (by itself, or along with the additional Reboot to recovery, etc.) on the power menu?

Only once you have root. You can probably make a shortcut to it on one of your homescreens using something like quickshortcutmaker, but that won't be quite the same.

Do you mean the answer is no I can't get Reboot on the power menu, but if I have root then I can make a desktop shortcut to reboot?

There is no way to get Advanced Power Menu without Root.
You can however hold down power and the device will reboot.

Not on the power menu but if you want to wipe temporary files and force a reboot you can do the following.
This will remove any temporary files that may be causing the problem, but will not delete your files or settings.
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to select this option
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence

I meant you can make a shortcut on the home screen without having root. The actual power menu can only be edited on phones with root access.

There's multiple apps that can put a shortcut on you're desktop, quickboot and ROM toolbox are just two examples, but they all require root access.
Pushing the power button for power menu extras can only be done with either xposed frameworks or a custom rom , again both require root and or unlocked bootloader

Apparently I was wrong about not needing root for a shortcut. My apologies for misleading you.

Actually, I have root. Does anyone know if there is an Xposed module for expanding the power menu options that works with the Moto X?

GravityBox has what you are looking for plus more.

How can I get extra buttons on power menu WITHOUT using Xposed? I'm using ART.
And also I have root.
Thanks.

Sir, all I find are widgets, and I don't want anything about that.
I just want to modify the power menu to access from the power button, but with the option of reboot, without using Xposed.
Thanks.

Not going to happen without Xposed or a custom rom that has an extended power menu.
As said above, there are apps. Quick boot works well and is not a widget.

You do realize there is a hidden/default reboot?
Hold power for 8 to 10 seconds & it reboots.

This is just one of the things I wanted to avoid to do (I found it forced, not like when I turn off the phone and then turn it on again), but anyway, I DID realize that, so... no way, to do this.
Thanks, anyway.

what are you using to reboot into recovery?
here's the failsafe way to access recovery:
power off the phone, press and hold volume down + power for a few seconds then release to access bootloader menu. press volume down to highlight recovery, then volume up to select it.

strange, are you unlocked and using twrp/cwm or locked and using slapmymoto? if you're unlocked, i'd recommend reflashing twrp/cwm recovery image, sounds like it may be corrupt. if you're locked, i can't help as i haven't messed with any of the locked device stuff.
im on a locked device, used slapmymoto, thanks for trying,can anyone else help?
Why do you need to be in recovery. You should have write protect off already. If you are trying to flash something you can't without safestrap and the zip needs yo be made for safestrap. Just manually move the emails and change the permissions

Press Power + Volume Up at the same time when it shows "no command" (And if that doesn't work try Power + Volume Down )

If the button presses while rebooting to get to where you can select recovery doesn't work... You could try Quick Reboot -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot to reboot into recovery, or open a command prompt on your PC.. and issue the command.. adb reboot bootloader then pick recovery from there.. If those ways also error with that same message you are seeing now, then your phone doesn't has a problem with its recovery partition.
As others have said, if you are rooted with Write Protection disabled (SlapMyMoto v1 thread tells you to run MotoWPNoMo first, to disable write protection, then follow its process), you should be able to go in, rename the old APK, and replace it with the new one (and set the attributes the same) without needing to be in recovery.
Then again, if you rooted with SlapMyMoto .5 (before the MotoWPNoMo was available), or you never did the MotoWPNoMo process that would explain why you want recovery... you're trying to boot to "recovery" so that you can boot with the Write Protection disabled so you can make this change.

Power off your Moto X
Next, boot into bootloader mode by holding Volume Down and Power
At the bootloader screen, use Volume Down and scroll to Recovery, then press Volume Up to select it
Once you rebooted into recovery mode you will see No Command. Hold Volume Up and press Power to show the recovery menu

That almost didn't work for me, till it did.
I was holding down volume up first, and about half a second to a second later the power button (while not having released volume up button). That didn't work.
I pressed both buttons exactly together, and it worked.

[Q] where is my reboot option

When I press the power button, I get a pop up that lets me change from ring to vibrate to no sound....let's me power off or turn airplane mode on/off.
But I used to have another option to reboot and then go into a choice of system or recovery. I seem to have lost that option.
How do I get the reboot option back?
I have a Verizon DE...4.2.2, rooted, unlocked, running TWRP recovery and of course superSU. I've reinstalled TWRP and superSU but that didn't bring the option back.
Its not an option by default. You get it from custom rom options, or Xposed modules.

He is correct sounds like your xposed Apps are not working or you need to install them i know gravity box gives you the option to add the reboot option.
enjoy
Or get quick boot from playstore. Not a power menu item, but an app.

Or just hold the power button for 6 or 7 seconds while unlocked and it will reboot. No app needed.

Seems to be missing some steps
First hold power button until you see power off/restart option, dont release power button instead keep holding power button until you see 'rebooting...' message, then release button,wait until recovery is shown then use power button to step through the options. Once recovery is highlighted, press and hold power button again for about 3 seconds to select that option.

simply pressing power at this stage will just reboot (continue). You need to either press and hold power for a beat or rapid press to get it to jump to next option.

For starters, 27 is ancient; you need null 23
Check the tutorial threads on how to get things working. All your answers are there

[Q] 5.0 OTA, and other stuff.Fastboot

Hi everyone,
I was so glad to received 5.0 OTA yesterday, and install it immediately (version 22.21.11 after updated). But I experienced a lot of problems, so I went to Moto and they tell me to perform a partition wipe. Here is the thing, after I follow their operation tips, my phone won't show me the secret menu, so I can't perform partition wipe, and my phone just keep doing some weird things like killing the background apps. Most frustrating thing is that I cannot even launch the camera using the magic twisting gesture!
Anyone can get into the secret menu under the recovery mode? I don't want to unlock my bootloader yet. Thx
update: after google for a while, there is a new way to find the secret menu according to shamelin73

What do you mean " secret menu?"
The recovery list?

yeah! the menu to let me do the partition wipe... I press Vol UP key for several seconds and press power key, nothing happened.
When I boot into fastboot I use vol. Up+Down and power for 3-5 seconds.

Get to your boatloader first, select the recovery tab. Once the android comes up with "no command"
Push the power button first, while doing that, press the volume up.
That'll put you into recovery.
(You don't have to hold the power button for a few seconds...it just has to be pushed first)

Locked Phone

My daughters Motorola X 2nd Gen (XT1095) seems to be locked. When you touch the screen all that shows is the time and a padlock. If you try and slide the padlock up, down or to the left or right the date shows at the top and the battery shows but it will not proceed.
Can anyone tell me what may be happening and how to fix it?
Thanks
I would first hold down the power until it turns off. It sounds like a restart is in order

Restarted it several times, results are the same, still locked.
Sorry to hear that. I didn't see it in your post so I started with square one troubleshooting.
How about rebooting to recovery and trying to wipe the cache?

Sorry, should have said that. How do I boot into recovery and wipe cache?

1. Power off the phone
2. Hold volume down and press the power button
3. Press volume down until you get to the word recovery then press volume up
4. When the little android is laying down, press the power button and tap volume up.
5. Use volume down to get to wipe cache partition and press power

Did all that and still same, I noticed that when it comes up in the boot mode (holding down the vol button) that one of the items listed says "Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0

That just means the bootloader is locked. It has nothing to do with the problem you're having. Try a factory reset if wiping caches didn't work.

Get the phone to the bootloader. Open a cmd on your computer and type MFASTBOOT ERASE USERDATA. that'll factory reset it for you.
