How do you enter recovery mode on the Sony Xperia X. I tried the turn off remove all cable, push the power, plus and minus volume until three vibrates, then only the plus volume button, then reconnect USB, but when connecting in terminal with telnet 10.42.66.66 i get:

Escape character is '^]' so basically it doesn't let me connect to telnet. I am trying get to the recover menu.

Just installed the release 8 of the HORNDIS driver needed for MacOSX to make it work (this is something Jolla really should be developing and providing in my book)

I had to run the following command to get the phone to go into telnet mode: sudo fastboot boot hybris-recovery.img within the computer terminal with phone in (volume plus button down, then connect to USB mode) and being in the folder with the hybris file.

Will Jolla make it easier to enter that mode without the hybris-recovery.img file being on an off computer disk?
