Hey,

I've been reading along in the XDA forums for quiet some time now, and have found very useful information on multiple occasions. A general thanks! for that.

Right now I am trying to gain access to a Moto X 2013 (XT1052) with a broken/black screen. The phone is rooted and has a custom recovery installed. Unfortunately USB-debugging was disabled.
I am trying to gain adb-access in recovery in order to try and activate debugging as shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335799

The problem is, I can't get the Phone into recovery mode. fastboot boot recovery.img is disabled on the moto x.
When I'm in fastboot mode and press Vol-Down the phone immediately performs a normal reboot. On a non-broken Moto X Vol-Down and then Vol-Up should bring the phone in recovery.
Can anybody explain this behavior? Is there another way to access recovery?

Thanks in advance!

Lukas
