[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...

[CLOSED] Stuck in bootloop - Cant load a recovery

Hello,
I tried to flash Slim ROM on my TMo HTC One and I accidentally soft-bricked it.
First, I unlocked the bootloader, put the zip folder in storage and then went straight for flashing a ROM.
Since then, I am stuck in a bootloop even when I try to run recovery - I flashed TWRP.
Can anoyone help?

yes, this is pretty simple:
You can boot into your bootloader by pressing the power button for a long time and if the display turns off, press the volume down button and hope you jump into your bootloader.. try this out until you manage to get into your bootloader. If this doesn't work, you should hold your phone below a bright light so the sensor recognizes it.. then play around with your power button and volume buttons and you should be able to boot into your bootloader. Then connect your phone to the PC and use this fastbootcommand after you navigated to fastboot on your phone:
Code:
fastboot erase chache
Now you should be able to boot into your recovery..
If it helped, hit the thanksbutton or ask other questions by quoting my post so I get notified and I can answer
If you managed to enter the recovery, say it, I write further instructions... Because if I write it now and the steps above didn't work... I wrote it for no reason and yeah... just say it

thank you for your quick response, unfortunately, after erasing cache before and I still got stuck in bootloop (didnt work this time either).
Entering Recovery... appears on top of a screen and nothing happens for a long time before the phone reboots itself

I would simply reflash recovery (maybe a different one) to make sure it's not the file you have

ok.. in that case we have to do some other stuff..
Download the TWRP recovery, it's know to work better than CWM at it's current state, you can download the file for your HTC One here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 (credits to: http://teamw.in/ thanks for your awesome work!)
Then when you are in the fastboot mode, use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
Then boot into recovery... and if this doesn't work too, try this command:
Code:
fastboot boot "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
If you were able to get into the recovery, or if you were not able, pls answer

!! :good: It worked and I got successfully booted the recovery, I think I was flashing a wrong version of twrp before

if you can get into the bootloader, you can flash a new recovery through it, and flash the rom
So the question is, are you able to get into bootloader?

if I'm able to do it if I explain how, and if I can help much better because Spanish translations by google are a bit bad. I'm desperate and do not know how to get my htc one again. THANKS

If you hold and keep holding down volume down button and power button down together it should boot into bootloader..once in bootloader I suggest you fastboot erase cache, then try to reflash recovery via fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img

when trying to install the TWRP recovery via fastboot but I accept I give reboot the htc one was shut down and when I press the power button only red led lights up and the screen stays off and the pc is not recognizing the device. When I press the power button + vol low blink at the same time the button <(return) and the button at the house but did not get the bootloader,

Bricked

Connect your device to the PC, and ADB is gonna be accessible for 2-4 seconds while the logo is loading (bootanimation), by that time you can flash recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or simply enter bootloader mode by (i think) holding power up + vol up + vol down buttons. After you have access to the recovery, things are gonna be easier as you can flash ROM's, kernels etc etc. (either via ADB or the recovery itself)
Best regards,
James

let me try this ... bro after getting bricked its not even charging .

Resolved
Thank you Everyone for helping and guiding issue is resolved your help is always appreciated...

how?
How?

same problem here with my P7 L00 , forum should work both ways, would be nice if you could post solution... tks

Most likely the solution from #4.
Also note that you can easily enter bootloader mode by
a.) disconnecting device and powering it off completely
b.) holding down VOL DOWN and connecting device until it boots into bootloader mode
(Similarly, if you hold down VOL UP you can enter recovery.)
In bootloader mode, flash the correct recovery, then you can do the three button update with update.app in the dload folder.

Did you flash the correct stock recovery for the device? Not having the correct recovery might just throw you into the recovery instead of flashing the software. Also, the recovery should be unzipped inside the dload folder (some people forget this).

tks! using TWRP 2.8.7.0 that runs ok on EMUI 3.0 - not original recovery - maybe that s why then I can t get to force download?

When you flash stock recovery, make sure that you're using exact version of the ROM.
Like if you had B609 you should use B609 recovery image and no other!
I made the mistake of using B621 recovery image on a B609, thinking "well it's the same, both are KitKat and both are EMUI 3.0" but NO! I was wrong.
Don't make the same mistake i did.
Let me know if you get stuck

Yes, that is the problem - *only* stock recovery can install stock ROMs and updates! Depending on your base version, you should install the recovery for the BXXX ROM (e.g.: if you are on CWM flashable B609, flash the recovery for B609, etc.).

tks all, I will flash stock recory and post back
follow up: TWRP was the issue, flashed stock recovery and was good to go...running EMUI 3.1 android 5.1 already, tks for all!
