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.

Thank you very much dear sir/ma'am.
This worked like a charm where nothing else had worked before!

Can't go into fastboot mode. Please help!

Hello. I have a razr I and decided to unlock the bootloader. I tried the button combination power + volume down several times, but the phone just powers up normally (actually rhe screen flashes for a second, but doesn't go into fastboot mode. I trided using adb reboot fastboot but the device just reboots. What can I do about it?
NVM, just did it by fastboot reboot bootloader...

Ok, one more thing. It seems my device ignores the key combo, but I was still able to get into fastboot mode by using adb. However, I have tried to flash a custom recovery with no success.
I tred using the supplied installer and after rebooting I get to the open robot screen with the red exclamation mark. Then, after holding some keys (not sure if power or power + volume down I get into recovery, but it's still the stock android recovery. Then I tried flashing the recovery image from fastboot mode. It sait the recovery was flashed, but still cannot boot into recovery. What's wrong with my phone?

Just incase you need to do it in the future:
Hold volume down, then hold the power button. When it begins to vibrate release the power button and keep the volume down button pressed until you get into fastboot.

Alright. So how about the never appearing CWM recovery?

twrp works fine but won't start via vol+power

Hi, as the title says, i can't boot to twrp when the phone is powered off. It will ignore what i push and just boot into cyanogenmod.
It used to work at some point, also i can get to twrp if i restart via the twrp app.
I should probably just reflash it?
If I'd somehow lock me from the os while experimenting, i could still run twrp via fastboot in ?
kind regards!

Please note power+ vol+ its to restart phone.
power+vol- to enter recovery.
so if already power down just press power+vol-
if in os press power+vol+ to reboot. when screen off power+ vol- to enter recovery

Brick and dead volume keys

Hi everyone,
my volume keys are both dead so I used to went to recovery from system using advanced restart. But when my phone started to have problems with signal, I decided to reinstall ROM. Unfortunatelly, TWRP stuck on starting aroma installer and because I wiped system before flash, I´m without ROM now and phone stuck on HTC screen (boot). My volume keys are dead so: Is there any way to boot into recovery from htc screen using USB cable? Can I use ADB on HTC screen? Or is there any other way to enter recovery or bootloader without volume and system?
Thanks

You only have adb connectivity when booted in a rom (with usb debug active) or when booted to a custom recovery. So "adb reboot recovery' is not an option and there is no way to boot in recovery using fastboot commands. If your phone still runing hboot 1.44 you can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" command to boot from an uninstalled recovery image but will not work on any newer hboot version and that would still requires to boot in bootloader mode with volume down.... So the answer is no, unfortunately.
