I installed Ubuntu touch on my Nexus 4 per these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install. It deleted my recovery as well as the bootloader. My phone now has an absolutely useless install of Ubuntu touch with no wifi or data. If I try adb reboot bootloader OR adb reboot fastboot all it does is restart the phone back to Ubuntu touch. Vol up+ vol down+ power brings me to this weird new Download Mode screen, where adb reboot bootloader OR fastboot just says "error: device not found". Has anyone else had this problem?
FALSE ALARM! All I had to do was unplug the phone. Phew, that scared me!
Hi People,
I have a serious problem.
I have a chuwi v17hd tablet (1st gen, as it doesn't have volume buttons)
This tablet now constantly boots into recovery, but I cannot select any options from the menu since I don't have the volume buttons.
When rebooting it only comes back to recovery.
I can connect with it using ADB but that's more or less it, adb shell doesn't work.
Fastboot also doesn't recognise the device,
Any tips are highly appreciated,
Thanks,
Hello everyone, I have a HTC desire 610 here and I cant get into recovery or fastboot. I've tried holding vol down + power and every other key combo, and it just boots up like I'm not doing anything. The buttons work once the phone is booted so I know they're not broken. Is there any other way to access these options? What could I be doing wrong?
One forum post mentioned a fast boot up option in settings that may disable the fastboot and recovery options, but this doesn't make much sense since this would mean you have to boot into the phone (assuming its working) in order to recover it.
Any input would be appreciated.

Having fast boot turned on in settings doesn't make it impossible to enter recovery or fastboot but is does make it very difficult. It removes any delay at the start of the boot procces and skips some checks to speed up boot time, but this does make entering recovery manually really hard. If you turn of the fast boot mode (I think it was under battery in settings but I haven't used stock rom for so long I'm not sure) you will find it much easier.
Your other option is to enable adb (go into settings > about phone > tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options > hit back > hit developer options then enable adb. Then install "minimal adb" and htc sync(to install the drivers) then from cmd line type "adb reboot recovery" to enter recover or "adb reboot bootloader" for fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, i cant get into the phone settings because its password locked. I bought it at a police auction with a lot of other phones. Most androids are easy enough to restore but this one is giving me the issue i posted about. I guess ill have to keep trying the volume buttons and power.
EDIT: I was able to get into the recovery menu immediately after posting my reply. I did it by holding vol up+ power while the phone was powered on, it gives you a countdown then restarts. At this point to switched to vol down+ power and it kicked me right into the recovery menu.

There is another way to go to recovery option... setting>power>uncheck fast boot.
power off your phone ... the press and hold.. (power key + volume up key + volume down key) together......
fastboot

I found a way for my 610:
Hold power+vol up ,then when screen goes black and vibrates, stop holding power on, move to vol down before appears htc white screen and then will go into fastboot mode. Guaranteed.
Tried cydia impactor
Thanks it helped

Thank you Bklynrx7
Your Edit sent me to HBOOT. Only solution i found after hours of search and ADB command lines (i am a noob so hours might be second for yall).
:good:
I can't boot it into fastboot mode. When I hold the power and volume up buttons when my phone is off it bootloops until I let go where it boots normally. When I try to access it with adb it just restarts the phone. Does anyone know a fix?
root？
You must use the factory version.
Does this model (LMG850UMe90c7228) currently support bootloader unlocks?I just got my phone today and did an OTA update to Android 10. I got adb working but I cannot boot into fastboot mode on my phone. I tried all combinations of holding power + side buttons then releasing them as the robot logo appears, and also the command "adb restart bootloader". The phone just boots up normally. Has anyone else had this issue? I've also tried connecting the phone into a USB port while holding the side buttons, which also didn't appear to work. I have a feeling that the phone currently doesn't support BL unlocks yet .
As far as I know only EU variant(s) has unlockable bootloader. And even after unlocking all fastboot commands are probably locked.
