I want to thank you for posting a tutorial on how to do this. I thought I had bricked my phone and this allowed me to install RomRacer's Recovery img which then allowed me to get into recovery. :)

How to get into fastboot with broken volume down button

How do I get into fastboot with using the power + volume down button? My button doesn't work. I saw a post about using adb reboot recovery but I don't have a recovery installed so it just reboots it.

I'm trying to root my phone but it requires fastboot.

I found those files!

Can someone please re-upload the files and post the links as original ones does not seem to work anymore...

Thanks!

edit:
Just to make myself clear... I meant the following files:

Code:
1c78b33d92f6b956bffbf4b668888ce4  atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
18effca0371c7dbb36ec54443e72414b  atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
b762c2a24a928da633c0f152d2fa7870  atrix-2.3.4-hktw-webtop.img
from the second post are unavailable now (megaupload is closed). Thanks
I appear to have downloaded those files back in November 2011!
I've uploaded them to mediafire. MF has a 200MB limit so I ended up 7zip'ing the system and webtop in order to get them smaller. The MD5sums match the ones you quoted. If these somehow infringe on someones copyright, let me know and I will remove them.

beware!

BE very careful when rooting and unlocking bootloader! I did OTA to update to 2.3.6 via AT&T and I was able to root my phone, however when I flashed .sbf file to unlock bootloader I hard bricked my phone. I freaked out a little but if you are able to access fasboot even from the "Failed to boot 0x1000 error, don't worry, you can still survive it! I did. Make sure to download all the android developer tools and files you need and keep at it!

Here is a MinGW32 compiled version that does not require the Cygwin DLLs. I compiled it using the following command:

Code:
gcc -D_WIN32 -static -o moto-fastboot.exe usb_windows.c util_windows.c fastboot.c protocol.c engine.c bootimg.c ../libzipfile/zipfile.c ../libzipfile/centraldir.c -lz AdbWinApi.a -I../include -I../libzipfile -I../mkbootimg
I had to install the standard MinGW / MSYS setup along with libz for MinGW here. Its beyond the scope of this post to go into details on how to do that install.

I have included the source I used because I needed a few extra header files and a static library for AdbWinApi. I also included the standard ADB DLLs in the exe zip, though if you've installed ADB before you should already have them.
There is a version for win 7 ultimate 64bits?:confused:

i see all this coding and downloadable files, but cant seem to understand what to do, i put my phone in fastboot mode, but how do i moto-fastboot? It's not an executable, when i try to go thru adb shell it cant connect to device(in fastboot mode) i'm not really a newbie, cause i think i unlocked my bootloader so i have some experience with the command line, but here i'm just lost can someone please write up a newbie tutorial of exactly what to do or show me where to find it?

Thanks a lot
