how to boot in recovery without using volume button

hello guys
i have a major problem i have installed a corrupted rom and i can't use my phone i need to boot in recovery but my volume button does not work
and my question is how i can boot recovery without using volume buttons
N.B:my phone is turned off

While it is switched on, if it is plugged into a computer, can you see it if you run the command 'adb devices'?
If so, try 'adb reboot recovery'

NOTHING ABOUT MY Problem

As it was mentioned above: with the phone turned off, if you plug the USB cable you should see it with 'adb devices' command. the LED should light (if I remember right in blue). if it does, run the command as mentioned above...
if not... I have no idea. Maybe you can contact with the developer of the ROM...

Yes, but from what I have seen it handles 'normal' scenarios.
Also, from my experience, he was trying to get the straight answer, without the need to read tens of pages...

The picture OP posted shows that either ADB is not installed or that he is trying to run it from an incorrect location. The guide that was posted has explanations for both of those problems.

thanks guys i have solved the problem
i have installed Android SDK
then i wrote in cmd
adb
adb reboot recovery

[Q] Bricked kindle fire wont register at all on my system

I never managed to finish a root using kindle utility I am unsure but believe it was my battery being low but it never would load back onto the program after the utility rebooted it. windows said it was unable to tell what kind of usb device the kindle was. I just need to know how to get the thing to be recognized on my computer. if i can get that far i can use an unbrick utility i found to fix it. Atm it doesnt load at all passed the orange and white kindle logo and im trying to charge my kindle but it is certainly acting odd, no way of telling if its charging or what. But i just need some general instructions or references to other links. maybe i mis installed the abd not sure. If anyone can get me going in the right direction I would be greatly thankful.

is it just one the orange and white logo? or does it like animate with a flash going from right to left? If it just sits there then you are probably in fastboot mode and can flash twrp through fastboot

Is abd the same as KFU? and if not where do i get it and if it is the same do i install the IDE or something else (i installed abd wrong the first time and removed it and havnt figured out the right way to do so)

KFU (kindle fire utility) is not the same as ADB. KFU is just a one-click tool used to root, and put a custom recovery on your kindle fire. So, do you have Kindle Fire Utility downloaded?

OOOOHH I have that but it always says that my device is offline

OK well what I would like you to do is, unplug your device, go to the folder where kfu is and find /tools and right click to try to open command prompt at that location. Then plug your device in and type fastboot devices.

Can you unplug your device and then the command, then plug it in immediately after you hit enter

A live usb will work and either distro will be fine. You have to either run the commands as the root user, or set up your udev rules, or use the SoupKit for it to work properly.

[Q] Can I stop an update that has already begun?

Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find anything on the subject.
I just got my Kindle Fire (1st gen) today and was toying around with it. It was connected to my wifi and then without prompting me shut off and began updating. I knew that there was no root for it so I turned the kindle off by holding the power button while it was updating. Is there any way for me to disable the update without powering it on the whole way?
It currently has 6.3.2 and I don't want to update to 6.3.3
I am aware that you can root 6.3.3 but from my understanding it requires a factory cable which I currently do not have.
Thank you
Update: I did some more digging and saw that it could be rooted but could not install a custom recovery without a factory cable. My apologies.

I would never shut off any operating system in the middle of an update. It is trouble. I wish you the best, but I think you should be purchasing a factory cable.

Not sure what will happen when you power back on.
Could download kindle fire utility, start run.bat
Connect kindle, to PC, it should power on when connected.
See what happens.
Bad idea to power off in the middle of installing firmware.

Maybe you could push fbmode can't test it my device is so far from stock never going back My point about smirkit is fastboot is not needed it writes bootloader and recovery from a running system. The only prerequisites are superuser or supersu, busybox with .sh working, terminal emulator and smirkit of course.

Neither fbmode nor smirkit work with 6.3.3

Yep it works I just need different commands
my steps
I just did
Step 1: Root the kindle fire
Step 2: Download fbmode
Step 3: Install fbmode by using adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
Step 4: Set fbmode permissions by using: adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode
Step 5: Run these commands here:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./fbmode
exit
exit
Kindle reboots to fastboot mode
6. downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img and fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
7. placed in adb folder
8. ran these command in command prompt
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
9.done

Awesome I'll give this a try. Can you explain how you put those files from step 6 into the adb folder? I'm new to Android so I'm a little confused.

I just use these files adb-fastboot.zip mirrors unzip and move (AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe) to a folder in c drive named adb.
Also move fbmode, FFF, and TWRP. Be sure to verify md5 checksums for FFF and TWRP flashing a corrupt Bootloader is bad.

[Q] Rooting Kindle Fire 1st Gen 6.3.4

Hey all!
I'm sorry if there's a post about this somewhere and I missed it but I looked and couldn't find anything.
I recently bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire off a friend of mine and I want to root it so I can have a bit more usability than what it comes with. The problem is that it's running 6.3.4 and I've only been seeing root help and tools for 6.3.2 and lower. I tried using the KFU but the root tool there wasn't able to perform the necessary operations (it just restarts in fastboot and won't continue from there). Does anyone have any tips or advice for how I would still be able to root this device? I've even looked into trying to revert back to 6.3.2 but haven't found anything that allows for that.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Okay, so I followed all of the steps to the letter on the first post you listed and its rooted and have Google apps on there now through KFU. The problem is now that I can't install TWRP or FireFireFire. It goes back to not working in fastboot. I'm pretty new to rooting but I want to put some version of android onto this but I can't find any troubleshoot for this particular problem.

When I try to push the fbmode file to the kindle it keeps saying device not found (adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp). Its one of the first steps. I have the drivers installed and the computer is recognizing the device is connected but it's not going any further. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing's worked so far.
