Need to turn on Moto X Pure *without* power button (not rooted)

Hello all,
I'm in a jam here and hoping one of you can help me out.
The power button on my Moto X Pure Edition, which is not rooted, has stopped working completely. The battery died overnight and, obviously, the phone powered off. Now I can't turn it back on. I'd like to get it turned on or at least get my personal data off of it. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have figured out how to get it into AP Fastboot Flash Mode by holding down the Volume Up & Volume Down buttons simultaneously while plugging it into a power source. But, I cannot select "START" (or anything else) from Fastboot because my power button doesn't work.
Hoping I can figure out how to do this without taking apart the phone, which will void my warranty and probably won't result in me being able to fix it anyway.
Thanks so much for your help!

Do you have fastboot installed on your computer? If you do then issue the following command : fastboot reboot
Your phone will now start up.
If you don't, install it. You will have to research how to do it for your system. I'm on Arch Linux, so won't know how to help you, but there will be a google guide.

Thank you for the suggestion. Got fastboot installed (used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118) but it doesn't appear to be recognizing my device. See attached image. Still working on it.

Hilarious. After an hour of fumbling around I figured out the USB port I had the phone plugged into was bad. Plugged it into one on the other side of the computer, recognized, rebooted, good to go.

Unable to access Download/Recovery Mode after bad flash

So my brother in-law decided to try flashing a ROM onto his Galaxy S7 SM-G930 but somehow managed to flash a ROM meant for the Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935. Needless to say this resulted in some serious issues. He tasked me with trying to fix his mess, but so far I am at a loss. Here is what I have tried to get the proper firmware back onto the device:
Galaxy S7 Recovery = No worky
* Tried Vol Down + Home + Power
- Results in some kind of diagnostics menu that is in Chinese or something
- Managed to get phone to go to fast boot from here, which has at least aloud the phone to boot and have a useable interface.

Galaxy S7 Edge Recovery = No Worky
* Pressing Vol Up + Home + Power
- Results in option to Select Boot Mode (YAY!!! Right? ....Maybe not)
- I select recovery Mode and it freezes for a couple minutes, then reboots the phone without enter recovery mode.
Basically I am not seeing a way for me to get to the point where Odin is helpful. Does anybody have any other options or suggestions I could try?

Have you tried to see if adb works on any of those modes? If it does try to adb reboot bootloader

adb not working either

I did try adb after making my post yesterday. I was able to connect to it fine, and was able to use adb reboot bootloader which gets me to fastboot. Nearly everything I did there didn't give me good results. Including fastboot reboot emergency which results in the phone restarting normally.
Also doing adb reboot recovery results in normal restart after pausing at all black screen for 1-2 minutes.

Did you try to flash a stock image via Odin after you ran the adb reboot bootloader?

Looks like a fake galaxy, I can be wrong

You know, I suspected that when I first saw the diagnostics screen all in a foreign language. After digging into it and checking the firmware and comparing to iFixit's teardown of an S7, I am leaning heavily toward this being a knock off device.

This worked for me on previous models but I haven't tested it on the G4 but hopefully it will still work.
Plug in the charger and long press the volume down key simultaneously.
There you will get the options screen for normal reboot, reset etc.
You can use the volume down key to scroll and the volume up to select.
It takes a little timing but if you do them at exactly the same time it should work.

Hey I'm having the same issue as this guy and my Moto G4 doesn't work like that as the volume up button only scrolls onto the next option not selecting it, I hope you're able to help as I have no clue what to do

That's bootloader screen,
You need PC and Fastboot installed on your PC,
Then run "fastboot reboot" command and it will start. (search general threads to know about fastboot setup and how to do it.)

"fastboot reboot emergency" works for me.

Where can I find where to download PC and Fastboot for my computer?

I'm unable to turn on my phone because the power button is broken and my battery has drained out. I tried the technique where I hold the charager in place and press the down portion of the volume button. Which option is best to select for me to turn on my phone?

Use a pin. I have my volume buttons broken. And there's some gap and I can push the pin in this area and it works fine. You can try the same with power button

I found the fix, I turned on my Moto G4 without a power button plus it was completely off.
1. Connect your USB Cable to the computer.
2. You have to put the charger & hold the volume down key at once. (Requires slight timing)
3. It will load you to the Fastboot Flash Screen Secure
4. Then manually install the ADB Driver, by going to Device Manager (Windows) right click > properties > update driver > select manually > select from list > click next > have disk > load the .inf driver file. You can get the Moto G4 driver online e.g. Google USB Drivers.
5. Install ADB Minimal & Fastboot then open it.
6. Type fastboot devices to see your device there.
7. Now type fastboot reboot
That's it.
If you face an error of bootloader slot not found, please use Minimal ADB Version 1.4 and do the process again.

Well yes you also can restore this by going into fast boot again and reboot your device normally from there.
I am currently on aex 5.8 .
May be its a noob thing but I felt many of you need this soo..I posted

To go to ffbm you have to go to fastboot mode first then you have to scroll there for ffbm mode I only have seen this in zuk z2 if you are using another phone then I don't know

This is nice and all, but what if your rom get screwed up and you can't reboot to fastboot via software? Is there a button combination to boot into fastboot via hardware?

Nope, ZUK didn't like the idea of button combination so opted for this screen and I would highly refrain from removing it. I really like the screen btw :angel: And love it when something goes wrong and I can just go through it to Nirvana.

I have z2 pro and this method is not working here.

This screen also shows up on my orbic wonder

I'm having an issue with my G Pad 7 (LG-LK430)

Heres the problem I started getting after I took the update from Magisk this morning. I did the update through Magisk app using their recommended method of flashing it I believe and I think thats how the problems started.

So here's the problem with doing this, I have no way of flashing Mr.Bump at the moment with the stupid tablet looping like it is. When I plug in the tablet I don't get the bepoop from my laptop telling me its plugged in and ready to go unless I press the power button and volume down. But then I get what the second picture showed, at that point then the pc does the bepoop sound but I still can't do anything with the tablet. So I guess my next question is how do I flash or use this with the state my tablets in? Thanks.

Can you not even boot into bootloader/fastboot or TWRP/recovery?
You should be able to boot to recovery by following the steps shown here -> https://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-lk430-g-pad-f-70/recovery-mode/
You could also try and boot into safe mode and try and use the magisk manager to uninstall magisk - howto here -> https://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-lk430-g-pad-f-70/safe-mode/

okay update, so if you look at the fsecond picture it says fastboot_init() I assume this means its initialised? I have no idea what any of the stuff below that means. when I do the recovery mode it shows the words recovery for like a second then gives me the black screen with white text that you see in picture 2. when I try the other method all the tablet does is bootloop with a new error code of 2250 I think. So I have know idea whats going on with this. I'll try uninstalling Magisk like you said but things are looking bleak I feel?

somebody else apparently had the same experience although on a different LG device -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-spirit/help/help-fastboot-error-loading-keystore-t3430163
So it seems that fastboot commands may have been disabled which means you can't interact with the device in fastboot mode whatever you do.
If nothing else works, you could try and re-flash stock ROM if you can manage to get into download mode.
Best of luck!
