[Q] hboot from recovery - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if there is any way to reboot to hboot from recovery without adb-pc, i need this when i switch from froyo to gingerbread and install the rom and then flash the new radio image and i need to go into hboot from recovery(cwm), and i don't have a pc
thanks

Is that the VOLUME DOWN + POWER thing?
**EDIT - Ya, I just tried it. It takes you to the HBOOT thing.

Couple of ways.
You could shutdown your phone after installing the rom, then hold down the power and volume down buttons to load into hboot or you could just pull the battery out after you finish the rom install and then hold down the power and volume down buttons
I'm sure there are other ways, but both work for me.

How do you shut it without pulling the battery?

[q] i need help please! :)

Okay so I had CM7 on my Samsung Vibrant and I wasn't satisfied because it had trouble with the GPS so I decided to go back to stock rom so I could then use a different Rom.. I flashed back with Odin ..
I'm now trying to get into clockwork recovery but whenever I'm in Rom Manager it doesn't reboot to it, the screen just freezes for a second and then doesn't do anything, just stays on the same screen.
I can't get into the DOWNLOAD mode as I've tried all the different combinations of Volume Up, Volume Down and Power button..
I really don't want to be stuck on 2.1 and feel like such a noob haha
Oh and the first screen when booting up my phone says I-9000 which I know isn't stock...soo maybe I downloaded the wrong stock in the first place? :/
That means you are on GB bootlooders. To get in to recovery, it's volume down + power button; download mode is volume up + power button. That or vice-versa, I never remember. But there is no Clockwork for 2.1.
I highly recommend this, has everything you need in one place.

Volume up + Volume down then plug in the USB. That's how you go to download mode.
No I've tried that..
1: Take battery out of phone.
2: Put battery back in phone.
3: Press and hold VolumeUp+Power Button at the same time. (hold until it goes into DL mode)
4: Connect to computer and Odin to JFD Stock image.

Stuck on Wallpaper

In my infinite wisdom, I tried to create my own custom theme, and in the process totally screwed myself.
I was using Infected 3.5 as my ROM with the Anthrax Kernel and everything was peachy. I tried to make an install a custom lock ring...and got all jacked up. Basically my phone turns on, goes to my wallpaper and does nothing else. I have a status bar up top, but it wont pull down, and none of the buttons on the phone work at all. Holding down the power button in order to get to the reboot menu does nothing. OH, when I do reboot, the phone asks me to allow access to Sense????
How do I get back into the recovery console to reflash the phone? thanks in advance
Remove the battery, then press and hold the power button + volume down. Then choose recovery, and re-flash the rom/kernel.
adb reboot recovery

Booting to Recovery

I have an odd problem. I can re-boot into recovery just fine if I select Reboot into Recovery from within my ROM. However, if I have my phone off and just want to go straight into Recovery I'm having a problem.
Pushing Vol- and the Power button at the same time just gets me a regular startup of the phone instead of booting into Recovery. Am I doing it right?
Had the same problem when stock. Only way I could get my phone to boot into recovery then was to use the commands from the Rezound All-In-One Toolkit 2.0.
I currently have Amon-Ra 3.15 installed & am S-Off with CONROM V4.
Thanks,

The Vol- and Power button has to be done in a certain way.
I think you press Vol- first, then power, and make sure you hold both of them for around 5 seconds.
Make sure you have fastboot in the settings unchecked. Power off. Press vol - , hold, and press power and hold until you get hboot.

I cant boot on recovery mode.
Am i doing somthing wrong, when i press Volum Down + Power?
Its just boot normaly, but in homescreen say is "Safe Mode"
What to do?
pull battery, reinsert battery, hold vol. down, while holding vol. down, hold the power button down til u see your h-boot screen, when your there choose recovery. or u can download a app from playstore called quickboot, it'll give u all kinds of powering down options. including boot into recovery...

Can't get into TWRP recovery from boot

I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.

[Q] Can't Boot Into Recovery Mode

Hello, feeling like a total noob here, I was just going to start up with rooting my DNA to run Cyanogen but I can't get it to boot into recovery mode. I've done it a million times on android phones, but the standard power button and volume down button combo doesn't do anything and the phone just boots normally... does anybody know what I am doing wrong?
I obviously already tried the volume up button and power button as well...
Thank you in advance.

You need to hold both volume buttons and power to boot into hboot. from there, use the volume keys to navigate to the "recovery" option, and use power to select it. Then it will boot into ClockworkMod or TWRP, whichever you have installed.

Actually it is volume down and power into Hboot. Both volume buttons and power gets you into safe mode.
