Abstract: The NOKIA C1 2nd Edition is an entry-level Android device (Go Edition) that presents unique challenges for software developers and technicians due to its lack of a dedicated recovery partition and common key combinations. This paper details the only reliable methodology to access Fastboot mode on this specific hardware revision (TA-1311) using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) interface. It analyzes the hardware button limitations, outlines the prerequisite driver configurations, and provides a step-by-step procedure for execution and troubleshooting. 1.
