Always hated to do magic shenanigans with buttons to get to fastboot. Always did `adb reboot fastboot`
my moto x dev edition, just reboots back to normal boot. it drives me mad.
is this normal? or my phone is dumber than the owner that can't press two buttons at the same time?

latest updates to the AndroidSDK and PlatformTools... type ADB at a command prompt... and it can be done either way....
Code:
adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally into the boo
tloader or recovery program
adb reboot-bootloader - reboots the device into the bootloader

So after using motoapocalypse to unlock the bootloader, I flashed the bootloader with clockworkmod recovery, Now when I try to boot in to it, it is just the icon of the android guy with his guts open.

Sorry, I probably should have worded that better. Bottomline is I can't boot in to the clockwork recovery after I installed it.

connect you phone to computer using USB, make sure adb is turned on, and type adb reboot-recovery in adb shell or terminal or comand prompt

Does NRT give you an error when it tries to reboot into bootloader? Another reason to stay away from toolkits, but that is another debate for another time. Have you tried manually running the ADB commands to boot into fastboot? Do you have access to a computer with Android SDK installed?
Not sure what you want to do in bootloader. Recovery makes more sense to me. Flash a non-force encrypt kernel, format userdata and you're away.
From a command prompt / termina (whilst booting and connected with USB cable)...
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

Yes, tried manually commands before use toolkit, no luck "device not found", drivers are ok, device visible in Device Manager as MTP, before this "unsuccessful" flash works like a charm. And then is no way out, when device is on it show encryption message and still no luck with ADB. Maybe some script that override ADB and took me into recovery/bootloader??

Nope.. If adb doesn't work and volume buttons are broken, you're stuck. Get the buttons repaired.

Adb only works if the device is booted up or in sideload mode in recovery, fastboot works in fastboot/bootloader mode. Is/was the device recognised as a adb device when you typed `adb devices`in cmd?

Adb should work from part way through the boot process and any mode. in custom recovery.

No, it's not appear in "adb devices" on any process of boot, but Windows recognise in Device Manages as "MTP USB Device" even when phone off and connected via USB

Will try, but decide to repair my Vol- button myself, i have no mind what can be broken in this part, watching video of N6 dissassembly, its pretty simple part indeed Walking w/o Vol- for a month, and this situation is frustrating me and other situations can happen, in certain cases i still need Vol- :cyclops:
For what its worth-
I can boot into Android system recovery <3e> for Android 5.1.1 build # A1PV1.0.0B17 by powering off and pressing power and volume up at the same time then releasing when the Android appears. Pressing the volume key down instead takes you to Factory Test Mode. The following options are available in recovery:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
apply update from cache.
Unfortunately there seems to be no way to get into the bootloader. Hitting "reboot to bootloader" just reboots the phone back to android. One of these days someone will crack this phone. Just hoping we get some people with some development experience on board with this phone.
There was a post that I saw that said that ZTE phones come with the bootloader already unlocked, but I haven't found a way to check it. Has anyone tried to see if the Factory Test is just their fancy way of saying that it's in bootloader mode?
For fastboot: If you have ADB you have fastboot, even if you don't know it yet. Make sure adb sees you device by running the following:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your device will have a RED light at the top, and your screen will be black. Make sure Windows Update can get drivers for you, and it'll install it.

I've tried this and it simply reboots my Axon Pro (model A1P). Where are you getting the drivers from? (Besides windows update and Install mode when you connect the Axon to your PC.)
I use a Mac. No drivers needed.

Already checked that thread out and the ZTE or the google drivers doesn't allow me to get to fastboot. After putting in "adb reboot bootloader" it just reboots the phone.
I also see that whenever you install the drivers from the phone, it installs only adb with a bunch of other ZTE programs for adb with no fastboot in sight.

Okay cool. I'll check it out in a couple of minutes.
Edit:
It didn't work it was the same as the axon installer unfortunately. Maybe I'll have to virtual machine either mac or Linux, again >.<
I really want this phone's bootloader unlocked xD
I have a Dev Edition Moto X. I have recently unlocked the Bootloader. I have tried flashing TWRP recovery. Here are the commands I have used:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It says it is successful, but when I when I try to go into recovery it loads into Stock recovery.
My guess is the write lock is still enabled, but I have not been able to find a way to disable the write lock when on 5.1
Any help would be awesome!
"fastboot reboot recovery" should be your last step
After I flash TWRP, I unplug the USB cable, and power it off. Then I boot back into bootloader mode and try to boot into Recovery and the phone powers off. If I boot back up into Android and run 'adb reboot recovery' it boots into stock recovery.
Thoughts?
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot into recovery.

You're doing it wrong is my thought. Use the fastboot (not adb) reboot recovery command immediately after flashing twrp. No one said anything about powering off and rebooting first.
Thanks, I was missing 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' then it worked! I know it must be something stupid simple I wasn't doing!
Thanks again!

Stock Recovery is reflashed when booting directly.
reboot-bootloader allows TWRP to patch the system not to do so.
My screen is dead. I want to get into fastboot to use "adb shell twrp decrypt mypassword" to be able to pull a backup. BUT:
How do I get in fastboot just with the hardware keys?
Out of 900tries my phone will be listed as "offline" in "adb devices" atleast 899times :/
I only managed once to get into fastboot from where I booted into twrp.. then it was listed in "recovery" state for a few seconds and then "offline" again
Thanks !
Hi.
If you boot into bootloader you can't issue adb commands, only fastboot commands.
Anyway, to boot the N6 in bootloader:
Device powered off, press volume down and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds should get you in the bootloader. You should see your N6 in device manager showing up if you can't see it, since your screen is broken.

Thank you ! That worked.. I am in fastboot..
I then tried "fastboot boot recovery-twrp.img"... which booted the recovery.img... and then I am again in "offline" when running "adb devices".
Any ideas? :/
Not sure... But if your recovery s password protected, I don't think you can use adb until it's decrypted. I don't have a password on recovery and never had to use adb there... Sorry.

Was able so solve it:
1. Power Off
2. Boot into fastboot with Power Button + Volume Down pressed
3. Connect to laptop/computer
4. Check if device is here with "fastboot devices"
5. Download latest twrp recovery on your laptop/computer
6. Boot the recovery with "fastboot boot /home/username/downloads/twrp.img
7. Check if recovery was booted correctly with "adb devices"
8. Run the following adb command: "adb shell twrp decrypt mypasswordhere" .. if the password is a pattern, then use the "numbers" e.g. if it is an "L" pattern (from top to bottom) then it would be: 14789
9. Download files with "adb pull /sdcard/ /home/username/Downloads/
Glad you got it sorted! :good:
