You should install 'Quick boot' from the market. You need root access to use this app. You can also connect your phone to your PC and use ADB to reboot the phone in bootloader mode with the following adb command: adb reboot bootloader.

You mean the hboot menu? Press and hold back and power button, and when fastboot screen appears, press power button. Now you are in hboot.

You can install "ROM manager" , it can reboot into the Recovery(CWM)

Code:
adb reboot bootloader

As far as I know, there isn't any .exe file in an android operating system. And for your problem, you should do something like this:
1. If you're on Windows:
- make sure that you have the android sdk downloaded;
- make sure the drivers for HTC Desire are installed on your pc / laptop
- go to platform-tools, hold the SHIFT button from your keyboard pressed and, while holding it, press the right mouse button in that folder. The right click menu will appear, but having an extra option "Open Command Window Here" or something like that;
- connect your phone cable to your pc / laptop;
- plug the cable into your phone;
- in the command prompt window opened earlier write "adb shell reboot recovery" to go into recovery, "adb shell reboot" to simply reboot or "adb shell reboot bootloader" to boot into the bootloader;
2. If you're on Linux:
- open terminal;
- cd /to/the/android/sdk/path;
- cd /platform-tools;
- use the commands I wrote above, the ones including adb;

If your existing rom allows it, if you press and hold power button, choose restart, then you can get a mini menu with the option to boot into recovery. You can then use the recovery to flash the new rom.
Another option is 4ext recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
It will install a new recovery on your phone - but it is pretty cool. You can use the touchscreen to navigate rather than volume buttons (handy if your volume is stuffed) You can also use the app to launch the recovery.

Take the battery out, then boot in hboot (if your volume buttons are not working, press Power+Back button, then select Bootloader), then recovery and restore your backup (you should have done one) or reflash your rom.

[HELP] HTC One X - Unable to access recovery or bootloader

So, started going through the process of rooting and installing a custom ROM onto my HOX.
Got the phone rooted and downloaded the ROM, but unintentionally missed the step to install a custom restore e.g. ClockWork.
The issue I have now is that the phone starts up gets to the HTC One screen and sits there indefinitely.
So my issue is - I am unable to access either recovery or the bootloader to enter fastboot and clear the cache or start the process fresh and avoid this situation in the future.
Any help on the matter or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Switch phone off, then hold vol down button in and switch on (keep vol down pressed) you should then boot into bootloader mode and can flash recovery.img from there

while on the white HTC ONE screen, plug the USB to computer, try to ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER or ADB REBOOT RECOVERY. That is IF the ADB can still detect your device, but I doubt that it couldn't.

bad flash - stuck in os

hey guys,
i was bored and flashed a .zip on my phone and now I'm no longer bored. Long story, short... I'm booted into the os (almost) with constant errors popping up. I can't get the power button down for 10 seconds to reboot phone and i want to get back to recovery to flash by back up. How can I use terminal (mac) to force back into recovery if phone is not in mode for adb to recognize phone?
Thanks in advance.

Try hold power button + volume up to force reboot. Once the screen goes black release those buttons and hold volume down button to go to hboot

Thanks for your reply. Seems the power + volume is not be recognized. Is there a way with fastboot or adb?
Otherwise, I guess I wait until power drain.

Power + Volume Up should work. But as you asked for adb/fastboot
1) "adb devices" to check if device is recognized
2) "abd reboot bootloader" so the phone reboots into bootloader
3) go to recovery and try a reflash

This should always work as long as the screen is on. It might take 10 seconds or more, so you may not be holding the buttons long enough.
Alternately, you can use:
adb reboot bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
There is no required more for adb commands, as long as the screen is on. Fastboot on the other hand, requires the phone to be in fastboot mode.
What did you flash? Was it a ROM, and if so did you do a full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) before flashing?

Thanks for all the replies. It finally died and I was able to jump back into recovery. I was trying to flash a .zip (one+ one theme) to my rom and some things about it (audiofx) was not liked. I guess adb could not recognize the phone since it was basically booted into the os. I just thought there was a way to still use adb or fast boot to push it into recovery. I did not get to try adb reboot boot loader, but would adb recognize phone even with this command?

Glad it worked and that we could help a
adb reboot bootloader should be recognized nearly any time.

[UNBRICK] white screen & waiting for device

HI all,
I've asked this question on the firmware thread, but I do not have an answer. So I'm trying here.
I installed the new firmware without any problems. But after the reboot I'm stuck on the white screen with the green logo, and I do not have connection with the computer via fastboot (waiting for device). As against the phone is communicating with the computer by HTC Sync or Windows Explorer.
What can I do?
Thanks

How did you install the firmware?
Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader?

thanks clsA
For mike's method (re-lock the bootloader and fastboot) :
1.If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
2.If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
3.Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
4.Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
5.Open command prompt
6.Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
7.Connect device to the PC
8.In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
9.Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
10.Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
11.Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
12.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
13.Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
14.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
15.Type: fastboot reboot
Currently I have no access to the bootloader

Although the phone is stuck on the white screen it rings when they call me

Turn off the phone holding power button for almost 15seconds till completely shut down. Then hold volume down and power button. You'll be able to enter boot loader. Also provide more details...version firmware, rom, etc

Are you flash a fw twice ?
Try to unlock bootloader and recovery again brother

I can not. The only possible action is Power and he returns on the white screen.

Yes, twice. And it was ok. I do not have access to the bootloader

You don't provide enough details. But for me it seems like you flash firmware with stock recovery and if you have custom Rom the phone won't boot. Are you sure you are shutting down the phone properly? Then hold volume down for a second. Then WITHOUT release the volume button hold down power WITHOUT release anything till I boot to boot loader?

The phone vibrates once and nothing happens. Still the white screen.

hold power + vol up....if the phone reboots...hold vol down...

Stuck in recovery after ADB with broken power button

Its very complicated. My T705's power button was damaged by water. And i flashed Stock MM rom with odin. It was fine after flashing, the tablet boot into the os properly, work very well in the os.
But then i want to wipe the cache and data after that, so i was using the code"adb reboot to recovery" to get into recovery mode because my power button was broken. (I thought it can be using home button to select in recovery mode)
But the nightmare is i can't select anything in recovery mode which requiring a power button. So i can't wipe the cache, also can't select the option to reboot my tablet...... I've tried to hold both the volume down and home key to go to the download mode menu, and select restart by holding volume down, but it go to recovery again even after removing the battery, i think it's because the adb command.
And the strangest thing is i can't use my volume up button in download mode menu, so sadly i can't flash the rom again,:crying: but the volume up is working well in recovery and in the os......
Is there anyway to prevent the tablet to boot into the recovery again? I'm quite sure it's not the problem when flashing MM rom, the problem should be the adb command makes my tablet boot into recovery until i change the boot setting in recovery mode.

Holding vol down + home key can boot to the download mode menu.
But the device will automatically turn on after inserting the battery, no need to press any button, but the device only boot into recovery after i use the adb boot into recovery command.

If that's the case that means the power button is stuck on or you wouldn't be able to power on or boot to Download mode.
All you need to do is flash the stock firmware or twrp and it will reboot back to the OS.

Hopefully I've got your fix:
When you insert the battery your device boots up, if so, insert the battery and press the correct key combo while the splash screen from logo.bin is showing to boot into the download mode.
After that flash TWRP latest version with Odin. Then when your phone again boots to recovery, chose Reboot -> System to boot Android.
---
If the above isn't applicable and you can start Android somehow, I will download either FlashFire or MobileOdin to flash another recovery/ROM.
