   When I run the "adb help" , I got the following message:
   adb reboot [bootloader|recovery] - reboots the device, optionally 
into the bootloader or recovery program
   adb reboot-bootloader        - reboots the device into the bootloader

   It  only says "adb reboot-bootloader" will reboot the device into 
bootloader, not specific to fastboot.

   I add @Simon from Google here, maybe he can give some suggestions.
