Jul 10, 2020 at 3:53 comment added Stephen Hosking Worked for me! I had a Xiaomi Redme 7A, Android 9.0, which I had corrupted so badly I couldn't do a factory reset through Settings. So I went through your options. First adb shell and then recovery wipe_data, and got "... recovery: not found". Ditto for wipe data. Then I tried adb reboot recovery and the device responded (Joy!!!), and gave me a short sequence of confirmation dialogs, driven from the Volume Up/Down and power keys, and then did with the reset. The device was NOT in fastboot mode. It was just attached to the USB, with normal developer options enabled.
