Stuck in recovery after ADB with broken power button - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

If your power button doesn't work how do you turn the device on after removing the battery?

unified android toolkit has a reboot device option...

That would only work if you could actually use adb.

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.

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
thanx to all above for your valuable reply..

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.
I am also having a similar problem .I was trying to install superuser in a .zip file ,but now I have ended up in a boot loop ,I am not able to go to the boot menu .................

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.

Possible Soft brick

So I may have softbricked my tablet, I was running latest ytab and installed the wrong xposed version, I also had the zip to remove it, but I can no longer boot into recovery. I can boot to download, and standard boot is stuck on splash screen. I've tried adb and fastboot recovery, but neither is recognizing my device in download mode (are they supposed to?). I have odin working with correct drivers. But I haven't been able to reboot to recovery to uninstall xposed. (power,home/volume up isnt working for me)

This worked! Thanks for the help

can't get into recovery mode

hi
i just unlocked my mi5s now, but when im trying to get into recovery mode (volume up + power) it still shows me the phone picture.
there is something that i am missing?
Flash the recovery, when in fastboot reboot into recovery by "fastboot boot recovery.img" if that's the name of the file on your computer. It will boot into recovery. After that, turn of the phone and boot into recovery with the button combination. Do not boot into the OS as it will disrupt the process! After this you should be fine. If not, try again, as you probably failed to directly boot into recovery with the button action.
Also, do check that you push both the volume keys plus the on/off button. So three in total.

as far as i know, when im unlock the phone, it unlock the recovery mode so i can access it by volume up + power instead of the phone picture.
i want for now stay with the stock recovery and not flash a custom one
Mm, you could use the phrase "fastboot reboot recovery". If that doesn't work, flash the latest Global beta and try again both ways.
If that also doesn't work, recheck if the phone is really unlocked (sometimes Xiaomi phones relock after an update without any good reason).
You could also try to find the stock recovery and use it in the method in my first reply. But keep that for last, as I don't know for sure how that recovery reacts to such a thing. Although I can't think of a reason why it would go wrong, it's better to be save than sorry.

Does fastboot devices see the phone if you key combo into bootloader? Do a flash-all (minus -w so you at least can save user data) of whatever monthly security patch you were on before.

Are you sure about that. It is clear from your other post that you Re confusing fastboot and adb. adb works from a booted phone, while fastboot works from bootloader. Also, can you get to recovery? I highly doubt you are bricked, but there is definitely some confusion.
Turn off your Google Pixel 3 XL.
Press and hold the Power+Volume Down buttons until bootloader mode (image of an Android with Start above it) appears, then release.
Select Recovery mode. You can use the Volume buttons to cycle through the available options and the Power button to select. The device will flash the Google start screen momentarily and then restarts in Recovery mode.
If presented with an image of a broken Android with “No Command” printed on the screen, press and hold the Power button. Press the Volume Up button once. Then release the Power button.
From the Android Recovery screen, select Wipe data/factory reset.
Select Yes. Wait for several minutes for the factory data reset process to complete.
Select Reboot system now. Allow several minutes for the factory data reset and reboot processes to complete.
Set the phone up again.

"No command" is normal. It is the power and volume key combo from there that actually get you into the recovery menu. That combo timing can be a little tricky. Power, then quickly press and release volume up then release power. You should then see the recovery menu. You might even see your phone with adb devices and have the ability to sideload an OTA (to save user data), but given your current situation I think a factory reset is best,

Not sure what you mean by running flash-all in sideload (I assume you ran adb sideload from recovery or flash-all from bootloader), but I'm glad you are up and running.

Problems with recovery buttons combo.

Hi, I recently tried to install twrp on my xiaomi. Everything works fine until I get to the part where you have to reboot into recovery directly from fastboot. Power on/off+volume up doesn't seem to work for me. The only way I can access recovery is by adb reboot recovery. Without the combo working, I can't boot in twrp. Any advice?

Simple!
When u are in fastboot u have to press ONLY power button then when the screen reboot stop push power button and keep pressing ONLY vol+ till u see twrp screen for 2 time!!!
But If u boot into system for wrong u have to ROOT again.
