adb reboot

If you want to restart/reboot your Android device connected over adb shell, you can do the the same using “adb reboot” command from Linux/Windows host machine.

The Simple “adb reboot” command just restarts your Android mobile/device. Android also supports other options as,

 $ adb reboot

Only Restarts your Android device from host.

$ adb reboot recovery

Restarts the android device into recovery mode.

$ adb reboot bootloader 

Restarts the android device into bootloader mode.

$ adb reboot sideload

Restarts into recovery and automatically starts sideload mode.

$ adb reboot sideload-auto-reboot

sideload-auto-reboot is the same as “adb reboot sideload” but reboots after sideloading.
