How to upload an .hex firmware to teensy board WITHOUT pressing the onboard Button?

Hi,

I have an .hex file and I don't have easy access to the programming button of the board. I have tried with AUTO without AUTO but when I select the firmware (.hex) file the Teensy Loader does nothing, it stays still waiting for pressing the button. Am I forced to disassembly a device just o press this silly button? I search a lot for a simple solution for this and it remains a big mystery"!

I just want to upload a firmware (.hex) file to a Teensy board without having to press a button on it, is this asking too much? Arduinos allow this!

Thanks

In linux you can use the command line teensy loader. https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader_cli.html
There are windows builds of this but I've not seen one that works without having to press the reset button, the -s option isn't supported.

Instead in windows start the loader app (C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\teensy.exe as default) in auto mode. Then run the teensy_reboot app (C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\teensy_reboot.exe as default). This doesn't work if some other application has the port open (e.g. the monitor window in the arduino IDE).

I am using the 2.x version of arduino and this location doesn't exist C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\ ?
 
For 2.x it would be something like this, with your own "user" name and whatever TD version your are using..

Code: 
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\teensy\tools\teensy-tools\0.58.3
