ADB Connection Question - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At what point in the boot process does ADB detect the device? Phone is soft-bricked and I'm trying to get it into recovery mode through an adb shell.

You most likely won't be able to get recovery mode if you can't access it with the button combo. Best bet would be to flash a kernel with Heimdall/Odin.

Go check out my adb portable in the developers section. It will wait until it sees your phone and boot it into recovery/download mode.
Or you can issue this command to do the same thing:
Code:
adb wait-for-device reboot recovery

No Download Mode or Recovery

When I first got the phone, I had download mode and the stock recovery. Well, I rooted it, and attempted to flash CM7. After that, I got stuck in a bootloop, so I flashed with Odin3 One-Click. After Odin3 One-Click, I no longer have download mode or recovery. When I use the 3-button combo for the recovery, it just boots into Android. When I do the Volume Button up and down, and put the USB cable in, it just goes to the charging screen. Not sure what to do, and am a bit frustrated.
Jig to get back in dl mode and flash either GB bootloaders or just GB. You probably flashed 2.1.
Yes, it did. And that's what I had before. So, is buying a jig the only option now?
You can make one, but to my knowledge ya.
Okay. I'll see what I can do when I get home. I'll check back with any progress, thanks for your help!
Wait Second thought. If you can root it (one of the 1 click methods) you can use terminal Emulator.
su (accept SU)
reboot download -or- reboot recovery
you can just make your own jig. i was stuck the same place you where with the bootloop earlier this week. i made a jig at work in 5 mins with $1 worth of parts.
my problem was that i had a rogers captivate and didnt know that it had to be flashed differently to get cwm to work
I have a captivate in my hand which is the same as urs 2.1 update 1 and it does not go to DL or Recovery with the buttons so i have a home made jig for the DL.
Ill say is u cannot make a jig or don't wanna nuy one just root ur phone with one click and DL terminal emu and command it reboot download and u are in download mode.
adb reboot download
no su needed. no root needed.
use the easy adb setup in my sig, then run adb, and type 'adb reboot download' or 'adb reboot recovery' ( no quotes ' ' )

Does NRT give you an error when it tries to reboot into bootloader? Another reason to stay away from toolkits, but that is another debate for another time. Have you tried manually running the ADB commands to boot into fastboot? Do you have access to a computer with Android SDK installed?
Not sure what you want to do in bootloader. Recovery makes more sense to me. Flash a non-force encrypt kernel, format userdata and you're away.
From a command prompt / termina (whilst booting and connected with USB cable)...
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

Yes, tried manually commands before use toolkit, no luck "device not found", drivers are ok, device visible in Device Manager as MTP, before this "unsuccessful" flash works like a charm. And then is no way out, when device is on it show encryption message and still no luck with ADB. Maybe some script that override ADB and took me into recovery/bootloader??

Nope.. If adb doesn't work and volume buttons are broken, you're stuck. Get the buttons repaired.

Adb only works if the device is booted up or in sideload mode in recovery, fastboot works in fastboot/bootloader mode. Is/was the device recognised as a adb device when you typed `adb devices`in cmd?

Adb should work from part way through the boot process and any mode. in custom recovery.

No, it's not appear in "adb devices" on any process of boot, but Windows recognise in Device Manages as "MTP USB Device" even when phone off and connected via USB

Will try, but decide to repair my Vol- button myself, i have no mind what can be broken in this part, watching video of N6 dissassembly, its pretty simple part indeed Walking w/o Vol- for a month, and this situation is frustrating me and other situations can happen, in certain cases i still need Vol- :cyclops:

Question UI recovery - adb communication

Hi, I would know if while the phone is in UI recovery mode it is possible to run adb commands.
At the moment I get the message: ADB Android Device Unauthorized.
I don't have unlocked bootloader or root privilegies.
Thanks

Not in stock recovery, by normal means.

General Rescue Mode

Okay. So I was playing around in the stock recovery on my Tab A8 SM-X200 and stumbled upon something I have never seen before on any Samsung device. Usually there are no ADB commands that work in the stock recovery except the adb sideload command that you use to flash an update.zip file. Well if you select the option to update using ADB you can enter into another recovery mode by using adb reboot-rescue. this command only works while you are in the stock recovery and only while you are using the update using ADB option. It will reboot into a different recovery mode called rescue mode. You have no options and cant seem to do anything in this mode but ADB is fully active and the screen says "Waiting for rescue commands" I havent figured out any of the commands nor could I do anything but reboot from this mode but i tried it on the Tab S3 and Tab S6 as well as the A7 from the previous year and this seems to be the only device that has this rescue mode. Just wanted to share my find and hopefully someone will figure out how to use it.
