It's possible to enter fastboot using "adb reboot bootloader" if the system is up and running and you have ADB.
However:
Has anyone figured out how to enter fastboot via a keycombo on power up?
VolDn sends you to recovery
VolUp (which was fastboot on the Find5) takes you to some sort of factory mode.
https://plus.google.com/101093310520661581786/posts/F1LKcuN5RVV is a screenshot of factory mode - does one of those happen to say fastboot (for those of you who read Chinese)?

Can't find a way to enter fastboot...
On another mtk6589 device (wiko stairway), you need to hold vol down and up and then start (power on).

If you have a custom recovery installed,you can try this method(does not require root or USB debugging enabled).

If that doesn't work you need to have adb installed on your computer.Then follow this guide.

sideload sending ok but installation aborted.
Code:
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF sideload
C:\Users\************\Desktop\fastboot>adb sideload twrp-2.7.0.1-p500.zip
loading: 'twrp-2.7.0.1-p500.zip'
sending: 'twrp-2.7.0.1-p500.zip' 100%
can you help me how to install custom recovery using sideload?
i also tried to boot in fastboot mode but it goes to stock recovery instead going to fastboot mode
vol down + power
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.

thanks for reply ?
Were all the same problems facing rightnow. I recently flash the stock recovery and it turn to endless bootloop. Does one of us already fix the issue ? I can't boot to fastboot.
Theres only one left chance of reviving damage of phone software. JTAG is the best option . But JTAG is expensive. Better go to nearest cellphone shop and pay their fees.

my realme 3 pro devise is stucked in twrp and bootloader after i flashed a wrong rom and after flashing the corrext rom also , its stucked..pls help
Can anyone give the link of recovery.img because in stock rom which i downloaded there isn't any recovery.img please help...... My stock rom is up to date
I flashed havoc os 3.0 in twrp, but when i tried going back to the recovery, it went straight to fastboot. Can someone help me out with this. I cannot do a factory rest on my phone.
@luenboy Sounds like maybe you didn't have twrp installed to begin with properly.. I use orange fox recovery on my chiron because of all the things I've seen posted about twrp for this device. If you go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...rp-orangefox-recovery-project-t3835139/page15
the last page is orange fox R11 recovery. That's what I've always used and its great.
Try holding your power button down and also hold volume + up and keep holding those down. You should reboot to recovery once you hold volume up+ power button long enough.
Here's some info on installing recovery below... You can also boot to fastboot mode manually and from your PC wipe whatever you need to that way. If you have another android device that's rooted you can download adb magisk module by osmosis and surge and you can use termux app just like a PC terminal with fastboot and adb and do everything a computer does with another android device. I've been doing that for years.
: Install the TWRP Recovery
1. Your bootloader must be unlocked
2. Enter fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power"
3. Download "twrp-3.2.1-0-chiron.img" from here:
