ADB download mode command

[Montoyatok]

Anyone knows the command in adb to boot the phone into download mode? I broke the volume flex cable and it's softbricked now

I'm pretty sure its "reboot download" just like through a terminal emulator from the phone (root required).

#su
#reboot download

adb shell
$ su
#reboot download

There is no need for su if you have a #

Thanks for this thread, for last two days I was trying to reboot my sIII in download mode through "adb reboot-fastboot" and it wasn't working, I thought the problem is in the drivers, but just trying adb reboot download and it worked.

But how to I check my device now? In normal mode I was typing "adb devices", what about this mode? thank you.

Sorry but it Reboot in Normal Mode

I think I'm also experiencing the same thing, and could really use someone's help.

I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and have rooted it. My display is broken, so would try to use the how-to to create a headless backup.

When I try to reboot it into download mode, it seems to never come back. I believe it's waiting for a keypress on the phone, or scrolling through a menu to select the right option so it can continue to boot. Can anyone with a working display confirm this for me?

I rooted it a while ago, so don't remember what's on the screen.

When I try to reboot in recovery mode, I'm also unable to select the proper menu option to continue to boot into recovery mode.

Is it always necessary to boot into download mode first, or only if you want to download something? In other words, if I only want to reboot into recovery, can I skip the download mode boot first?

Ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex

You don't need to enter download mode first. From command prompt enter adb reboot recovery and your good to go

I also installed custom rom AOSPrime. and then for going back to stock, i needed to enter download mode. None of the commands worked. i made a backup of everything in twrp except system and data. so i restored that back, and then voila, the LG logo was back but didnt boot(obvious). Now i could easily go by the vol up and then usb connection process to goto download mode.
the default stock settings enable the download mode to work.
if anyone needs the backup, mine may be of other region, but it could surely bring back the lg logo and stuff.
quote me and i will post the link

ggossamer : before download mode you need to confirm download mode with volume+ or you can cancel the thing with vol- , IIRC .
For your other questions, I think, recovery with a broken screen might be difficult, maybe use ADB
