One minor tweak here, on most Android devices (atleast most Nexus devices) getting to fastboot is done via "reboot bootloader" not "reboot fastboot". If we are going to document the commands here to establish a standard, I'd prefer we use use what existing userspace expects: So across nexus devices, there's really two consistent commands: "bootloader", and "recovery" Nexus 6p: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git/+/android-msm-bullhead-3.10-marshmallow-mr1/drivers/power/reset/msm-poweroff.c#230 Nexus 9: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra.git/+/android-tegra-flounder-3.10-marshmallow-mr1/drivers/htc_debug/stability/reboot_params.c#86 Nexus 7: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git/+/android-msm-flo-3.4-marshmallow-mr1/arch/arm/mach-msm/restart.c#273 Nexus 10: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/exynos.git/+/android-exynos-manta-3.4-lollipop-mr1/arch/arm/mach-exynos/board-manta-power.c#422 While I don't object to having a duplicative mode-fastboot (it is more clear as to what the command does), or the other oem specific modes, I think we should make it clear that the Android userspace expects the "bootloader" and "recovery" commands and document them here. thanks -john -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
