Hi, I've on my Galaxy W still the original rom and I was going for a custom one.
Rooted it with Rootgenius, since other methods were not working.
Than I went for arco custom recovery but I'm not able to enter bootloader.
I mean by cmd after typing "adb reboot bootloader" phone correctly reboot and the confirmation screen appears but volume keys are not working, or the phone is anyway stuck on that screen.
I've tried to boot using volume_down+home+power but the phone keeps rebooting after samsung logo.
Any help? Thanks
Update, I'was able to install recovery through adb but home button is still not working so in CWM I can only go up and down.
Tried to use adb shell input keyevent 3 (that should be home button) but even if it works in normal state of the phone, in recovery it gives me error /sbin/sh: input: not found
Anybody?
wow , i have the same problem , its not able to continue or cancel the warning :/ and i have no idea how can i flash it

Download mode freezes if you have the USB plugged in prior to selection. Initialize it before plugging the device in.

Ok so long story short, I accidentally wiped the system when in recovery and now my phone only boots to the google logo and hangs. I cant get into boot loader because it seems the volume up button doesnt work. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can my phone back up and running or is it just shot at this point?
You hold both volume buttons down to get into fastboot.
adb
I cant hold the volume up button for anything, it doesnt work anymore.

right now im using the nexus root toolkit, flash stock/unroot because of softbrick, to see if that works then i can reflash.
the whole reason this nightmare started is because i flashed to team oes nightlies rom and there was no google play store lol. i let gooim update and it kept looping saying android cant start, so i figured id clear the cache and oops pushed the wrong button
If you can use USB debugging adb reboot bootloader should do the trick

thanks I'll try that if this doesnt work. I do have another question, Im trying to get my kyocera jax info onto my nexus, ya ya ya I know "obama phone", but the way I see it is Im in wifi at work and home so the only time I need an actual service is when Im driving or out because the rest of the time I can use google voice which = 0 bill . so what all info is needed just to get talk and text mms working?
Fix that volume up key, its your best shot. That should be your main concern.
Sent from my i9250
1. Connect your phone to your computer
2. Type "adb wait-for-device reboot recovery" at your command prompt/terminal(at your computer)
3. Flash your ROM
4. Done
If you don't have a backup of your ROM at your internal sdcard, then either mount it at recovery, and if the mounting fails, use this:
"adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip" (replace rom.zip with the name of your rom)
And, get the volume button fixed, you won't always be with your computer when trouble passes by
My galaxy nexus power button hasnt been working for a good while now but im still able to restart my phone etc using apps from the play store. My problem now is that i had cm11 snapshot m4 on my device and recently updated to m6 and now all of a sudden the phone keeps rebooting. As soon as it starts up and the lockscreen appears it reboots, not giving me enough time to use whatever app i have to reboot to recovery which makes it a huge problem since i cant manually boot to recovery the normal way via volume + power button.
So i just want to know if there is any way to get into recovery without using the power button??
Thanks.
Adb shell . then adb reboot ,adb reboot recovery , or adb reboot bootloader should work if you can get into adb shell
Hack The Tuna
I got it to work, as soon as the phone booted to lockscreen i dropped the commands and it worked.
Thanks!
I flashed something that was incompatible with my version of android and my phone is stuck in a boot loop, aside from that my power button is broken so I cannot simply press volume down and power to get into recovery. When I use the command "adb devices" on my computer while on the boot screen my phone comes up but says it's unauthorized. I can get into download mode though. Do I have any options besides re-installing android altogether from download mode?

Download KDZ and use normal mode to flash it
It should overwrite all partitions except /data and your phone will still retain its data

How did you damage your power button mate? DAMN !!! That's horrible! Send the phone in for repairs! You can't really operate the phone with a broken power button.. Try this link to get your device working again.. I'm afraid that you need to download the appropriate KDZ file for your device and use the LG Flash tool to restore your device.. Good luck!!:fingers-crossed:
I restored an lineage os update last night, then i restored a BOOT update that didnt belong to that rom and i`m in bootloop unable to enter recovery or enter bootload, my phone responds only to power button+ volume up ( it restarts), tried to connect fastboot and i get that device isnt found( its connected to usb ports, i installed htc sync manager for htc drivers)
What can i do to go into bootloader, because if i get there i flash twrp then restore the correct rom, but now its just bootloops in RR remix( it doesnt restart itself just loading loading )
Can i get some help with right drivers or something that i could use that command" adb reboot bootloader" and it wont answer with device not found
P.S I get the device in device manager but in adb just says "device not found"
P.S2 Close the thread, i let the phone fully discharge then Volume down + power and it entered fastboot and i was able to get to recovery, nvm

I know you fixed the problem, but for future reference, in the above scenario, as long as you can force a reboot (power+vol up); the moment the screen goes black to reboot, just slide your finger to vol down (no need to hold power button any longer) and keep holding it; and the phone will go to bootloader.

adb would never have worked in the condition your phone was in. The phone needs to be booted to OS or custom recovery for adb to work.
hi, long story short, i found phones from my family, since they don't have the password anymore i had to do a factory reset via recovery mode but i can't get to the recovery mode on the xperia s, i tried every buttons at different timing and the only thing i could get randomly is a screen with loading bar and a triangle with tools inside of it for maybe 10 seconds then he continue booting normaly.

Did you try:
Volume Up + Power
Sony Logo
Release only Power until recovery appears?
Another thing you could try is entering ADB mode via Volume DOWN (I think) and using:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
If it doesn't work, see if you can find some Fastboot command that do similar thing. Reboot, restart, etc...
I tried volume up+power, I can do it until the sony logo but if i continue, i got vibration and reboot. I also tried volume down which takes me to the fastboot mode, I can do some commands but most of the important ones are blocked because bootloader is locked, I can give some images later if needed

Try the instructions on this site:
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-s-lt26i/hardreset-third-method/
If these doesn't work then try getting into ADB mode. If I remember correctly, ADB was Green light and Fastboot was Blue light. Volume Up OR Down + insert USB, selected one or the other.
When my Xperia S was bricked, I remember there was holding Volume Up AND Down + Power until it buzzed 3 times (~10 seconds). At this time my S had JB. On Gingerbread I don't remember ever entering into recovery.
One thing I recommend is to open notepad or some spreadsheet to register all the combinations you try. With TWRP on those newer ROMs the combination was pressing Volume Up and Down repeatedly during boot.
That is weird, when I try to get in adb mode, there is the green light but adb devices don't see it, as the fastboot mode with blue light is recognized. But yeah, i should keep every attempt in notepad or something.

Driver issue most likely.
Try:
Install Flashtool 0.9.18.6
Disable the driver enforcement via the Advanced Startup method
Install the drivers from Flashtool. I checked Flashmode / Fastboot and all Xperia S I could find
Sorry for the responce time, i tried flashtool, i flashed a firmware, it was bootlooping, i re-tried flashing with another rom (ICS 4.1.2) it worked, but now i 'm stuck on the lock screen because i need a sim car pin code but no sim card is inserted.
my bad, there was the old sim card in it
