Brick and dead volume keys - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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...

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...

[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.

Are you trying to flash TWRP?
What happend when you press the power button for a long time?
Normaly the 2 buttons should blink, then the One goes really off and then it starts with the htc logo.
Is this happend?
What recovery you using? What Rom? Its rooted i think?
Hold the power button and volume-down until the device turns on. Then keep holding volume-down until the fastboot screen starts. Can you enter recovery? If so, clear cache. If not, get in fastboot mode, connect to USB, and run "fastboot erase cache". (You need your drivers and fastboot program set up on your computer.) If that doesn't allow booting to system and recovery, reinstall recovery using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. Then boot to TWRP (via fastboot, navigating the menus using the power and volume buttons). You can the nreinstall a ROM, and if needed, factory reset.

Installing custom rom, on galaxy s gt-i9000, with a busted power button

Hi there i am relatively new to android modding and rooting etc. I recently tried to install Cyanogenmod to my phone and I succeeded, but the next day my phone began to restart itself, turns out that the power button is broken. We tried to repair it but ended up burning down the processors internal i/o (latch or whatever structure it has) with a faulty multimeter . Now i have to turn on my phone with a dock cable (with 1kohm res) which wakes up the phone, i can access the Download mode by plugging in the dock, and pressing home+down, but the recovery needs the power button signal too.
I can access the recovery by using adb commands, but i need to boot in. If i install a new recovery like CWM, i am stuck in a bootloop and i don't know if i can use the adb commands. Is there any other way to get into recovery mode, besides home+power+up, or adb commands?
Can i install CM onto the phone under these circumstances?
Thanks for any help given!
Not sure how you are going to select options in recovery as you need the power button unless you have Touch Recovery or TWRP recovery. Anyway use this app to boot to recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423071

Sorry i miss understood you, so you are in a recovery bootloop?

Well if i install a new recovery mod like clockworkmod then i'll be in one. That is why it is necessary to reboot in it so i can install the ROM.
Rather get your power button replaced.

Unable to enter twrp recovery even after installing it

Hi,
I have installed twrp recovery on my phone (Moto titan). When I restart using power + vol down button I get a bootloader option which includes Normal startup , recovery , factory etc..
Selecting recovery from the bootloader options takes me to a blank screen and not into twrp recovery.
The only way I can manage to enter twrp recovery is by using "adb reboot recovery."
Any suggestion on how I can enter my twrp recovery directly using my phone key instead of adb.
+1 for me
Chances are you might have done something wrong while installing TWRP.
Try installing it again!
Hope it works. If it doesn't, reply!
Cheers!
