Reboot with ABD

[Guest Sandy mk1]

Seeing as my request for help was getting lost in the A3 Froyo thread I thought I'd ask this in a seperate topic.

It was suggested You can reboot with ADB.

Can someone explain how I would go about this, as it was implied that this can be done without a keystroke on the digitiser, so i'm guessing some clever combo of the physical keys.

Knowing how to reboot is one thing.

Providing the developers with useful logs after the feared lockscreen hangup would be much better.

This is still THE biggest nogo with 2.2 ROMs for a lot of people.

Some report they never had it, but I think they've just been lucky.

Someone needs to run a logcat on a locked up phone and provide it to the developers.

I'm at work, so can't :-)

This is what you need.

1 - Get ADB Drivers from here: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...rivers-and-adb/

2 - Get Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

3 - Connect your phone to your PC using USB, and open a command prompt on Android SDK folder / tools. From here you can run adb.

Usefull commands:

----------------------------------

adb reboot

adb reboot recovery

adb logcat > log.txt

----------------------------------

If you get a screen freeze, please run adb logcat > log.txt, you should then see a log.txt file in your Android SDK / tools. Please share it with us as it could help debuging on why this is happening.
