[Q] How to get into recovery with broken Volume+ button

---

So my volume+ up button recently broke and I can't get into the recovery to flash roms now. In cyanogen mod I could just hold power, choose reboot, then choose recovery and it would do it automatically. Then I flashed miui and it doesn't automatically go into recovery so now I'm stuck. What way can I get it to automatically load the update.zip? I can use 'adb reboot recovery' but it wont make it load the update.zip it just sits at the triangle with exclamation mark.

This should do the trick:

mkdir /cache/recovery
echo '--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip' > /cache/recovery/command

I don't think you read the whole post.

That gets the phone to recovery, not to load the update.zip.

Once in recovery would dpad help instead of volume key?
