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:

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

i did search arround, but haven't found nothing similar with my problem..
i able to recover a phone if i cannot enter in fastboot or recovery. in bootloader it works but it freezing in the moment i push power button to choose fastboot or recovery. also it doesn't boot normal-> it's starting, showing the "htc powered by android" screen then goes off.
mention: in the bootloader is no "Active CMDline overflow" message.
only thing i'm interested if it's possible recover from this.

what hboot are you on? 1.44?
unplug the cable,
force reboot,
select FASTBOOT,
when it shows FASTBOOT (in red),
plug the cable to your computer, and it should change to FASTBOOT USB
.
1.57,
it remains highlithed in blue. it freezes highlighted in blue.
there you got it. i recorded what happens, if you have patience 2-3 mins.
ignore the cracked screen, i disassambled the phone to disconnect the battery, in hope of something would work after.. and did not matter for me if that i damaged it, i have new full housing with touchscreen for it.

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:
So my power button stopped working a while back. Today I accidentally held the vol down long enough to enter the bootloader screen.
The screen has timed out, how can I reboot?

You should be able to just plug it into computer and use adb commands to restart the system

You will not be able to use adb commands, but you will be able to use fastboot commands. Fastboot reboot, specifically.

I can't get my computer (Win 10) to recognize the phone. In device manager it shows up as (Device descriptor request failed). When I open the Motorola Device Manager, it searches for updates and comes up with "There are no updates for your device" Current version: N/A.
Ok, so I put a pry tool between the power button and the screen to try to remove the back to get to the battery/button. While pressing into the power button the phone restarted! I guess it was enough to trigger the button.
Thanks for your help, I'm still going to try to get fastboot and adb working, might be easier now that phone is booted up.
Phone info
OPPO A74 5G
Model number - CPH2197
Build number - CPH2197_11_A.12
Android 11
Developer Mode enabled
OEM Unlock enabled
USB Debugging enabled
Below are screenshots of all of the above
[Screenshots](https://imgur.com/a/qw0fUAw)
Phone is recognised by ADB but not Fastboot and as such I cannot unlock the Bootloader. Is there something I've done wrong or something else I can try?
When entering "Fastboot devices" in CMD nothing comes up.
When entering command "ADB reboot Bootloader" in CMD the phone restarts instead of loading into Bootloader.
I have tried turning phone off and the pushing power button + vol up - this just keeps restarting phone.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'd really like to root this phone all extra info in images on Imgur. Link above.

Did you find a way? I tried everything but I couldn't get into fastboot
No way to enter fastboot mode for oppo phones. Now I use Oppo A74 4G version. Cannot enter fastboot mode. It's locked by Oppo. And they don't give bootloader code for unlock BL. Only way is to change phone
I've been trying run fastboot too. 4 hours later I find this thread. That explains it
Last Oppo phone I buy I guess.
Did you manage to find a workaround for this by chance?
Has anyone tried rebooting from recovery to then enter fastboor or?
Im gonna look into myself soon...
Ive seen this issue before on a different phone but cant remember how they bypassed it
Perhaps yall can try to find a post where they did so.. maybe it'll work on this phone too.
I was able too get to fastboot mode. The phone labels it "recoveryd mode", however, fastboot commands work.
1st. Connect phone and confirm ADB is connected by using "ADB devices" command.
2nd. Enter "adb reboot fastboot bootloader"
Phone will reboot into "recoveryd mode". It looks exactly like the normal recovery mode except the title displayed after you select the language and fastboot commands will work.
However, I still have not found out how to unlock the bootloader, so it does me no good.
try doing adb reboot fastboot or adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Unable to open fastboot HAL')
fastboot: error: Command failed
guys ,, fails
when trying to boot to fastboot and not fastbootd
