As stated, I am unrooted, but still have CWM recovery on my phone.
I want to flash the original RUU, so I can send it back to the seller without a trace of it being rooted at all.
I can't get into bootloader using volume down, home, and the power button...because the power button doesn't work.
Is there anything you guys suggest, or is there a way to get into bootloader through ADB or an application?
Thanks,
hazEup
Bump.
Anybody?
No possible way to get into bootloader without the power button?
Just wanna flash this RUU...
pull battery, replace battery
Hold volume up+down buttons , or hold Vol.Down and Camera
connect to wall charger or usb/pc
if phone always boots up when replacing battery
press buttons before replacing battery

may need to be usb/pc
I'm in the same boat trying to do a friend's phone. I've tried holding the buttons before putting the battery back in. The screen flashes but stays black for a while and then boots up normally. I'll try with it connected to the PC.

I have a Motorola Xoom that I was trying to boot into recovery.
There's a problem, my volume up button is broken. Didnt realize it before so now I'm stuck at the logo with the choice to scroll between RSD, Fastboot or Recovery but cant select any mode.
Is there a way to exit this ? Tried to keep the power button pressed and tried various combiations of vol down and power but no result.
If I let it sit and drain the battery, will it eventually get out of this mode ?
Thanks

Plug it into your computer and run adb then type fast boot reboot.

Sorry I should be more specific. Download easyadb and unzip it. Plug your Xoom into the computer and open a command prompt in that file with adb in it. Change your Xoom to fast boot protocol support and type fast boot reboot in adb.

Actually maybe try to press the volume up button really hard..
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The problem with connecting to the pc is that adb wont recognize the device. Its because the device is stuck in select mode and not going into either of the RSD/Fastboot/Recovery options.
I can scroll through them but even hard pressing the up button wont work. I dropped it and the button doesnt work.
They are pretty easy to take apart, check out some videos on YouTube, etc and see if you can fix your volume button.
Thanks brandogg, Thats what I was planning to do. Or take it back to a verizon store since its still under warranty I think
Use your idea and let the battery drain..
Letting the battery drain overnight worked.
Thanks
Lg G2 AT&T, The power button and volume down button does not work, when i try to get into download mode it goes to "[2130] Fastboot mode started" . I flashed the wrong rom for my device, usually i can go to recovery but for some reason this time it wont let me. At this point i'm pretty hopeless, I have looked on Google for solutions but you either need recovery or download mode. Please help
Have you tried entering recovery by turning off the phone...pressing power and vol. down...then, while still holding the vol. down, release and press again the power button once the LG logo appears...then release the vol. down button once it asks if u want to factory reset and pressed the power button three times to attempt to enter recovery?

Read this entire post and follow VERY carefully if your symptoms sound the same (two different sets of symptoms with different solutions). I was able to bring my phone back without recovery, download mode, etc. However, I did not have the fastboot error. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681089

Alright so none of it was working. Linux would not read my phone. I traded in my phone and got a Nexus 6 instead. Thank you for your help!
I have a soft bricked Z1. Recovery doesn't work. System doesn't work. Now I cannot find any way to force it into fastboot mode to flash a new, working recovery. Any tips?
power off
than press and hold vol+ and vol-
connect y phone to pc .
Thanks and I tried that, but I can't power it off. It's stuck in a boot loop and when Iong-press the power button, it just restarts
Press and hold until it go black , after 1 reboot .

So I followed these steps:
1) Long-press the power button. Phone restarts.
2) While restart, hold +vol and -vol.
3) Immediately after restart, plugin USB cable to computer.
That didn't help. Did I miss anything?
No . than take off the cover and unplug buttery .

Okay guys so I had the exact same problem just hours ago.
I accidentally flashed a kernel in recovery partition (Ik lol xD)
So here's what i did.
I searched around a lot and didn't find an exact answer. Then i came across something.
If you can, remove the back cover and disconnect the battery and then connect it again.(Look it up on Youtube)
If you can't do so, wait for the battery to fully discharge.
Then, press the vol+ and vol- together and wait for 2-3 secs and then connect your USB cable.
Don't press the power button or you'll just end up in a bootloop.
My phone directly went into fastboot mode.
Hope I Helped.
hold voulme + button and power button , and then continuously press volume - button 10-15 times! it will boot twrp ! i was facing the same issue ! This worked for me!

Let your phone to discharge to 0% then it would automatically power off. Then press and hold volume up button and connect to pc. And you r there in fastboot.
hi guys i'm using Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L53
i rooted my phone two days ago and everything was ok, then i left my phone charging and in the morning my phone was turned off and when i tried turning it back on, it got stuck on the huawei logo and i cant get past it.
i had bootloader open, twrp and root
phone doesn't react to my key combinations (power, power+volume up, power+volume up+down vs.. you got it.).
then i cant connect my phone to my pc, it doesnt make any sound when i connect it and my computer doesn't say anything about about my phone being connected.
All my impressions are that's it. how can i fix it? or is it a hard brick or something unrepairable?

Can you get into fastboot?
You have to boot it into fastboot. You can't turn off it now, but you can reboot it. Connect to your pc,press the power button for 10 seconds, it will hard reboot, but when it turn off press the vol - pressing power. You will enter to fastboot.
Now unlock again the bootloader

If all success, you can flash the twrp and flash the ROM

You can know because there is a write and a robot icon.
So, try press power + vol - together for 10 seconds.
64GB USA XT1575.
Unlocked bootloader. Loaded TWRP 3.1.1.
Loaded AICP 10/8/2017, and OpenGapps mini.
No root; No Magisk.
Functioned fine.
Did dirty upgrade to a November version.
Phone had been glitch since in function, and reboots.
It has deteriorated to reboots and never finishes animation.
I cannot get the phone off, then to bootloader.
If I disconnect battery, wait a few hours, and reconnect:
I cant connect the battery and quickly hold power and vol down and get bootloader.
I get warning Boot loader unlocked screen, then an AICP loading animation that never ends.
If I hold in power button, it reboots to the same scenario.
Even holding in power/vol down during process wont get to bootloader .
What would deteriorate phone into not being able to get into bootloader, but phone is not hard-bricked with no boot at all?
I need to get to TWRP so I can fully wipe this phone and whatever is causing all of this.
Any ideas?
Do we have an unbrick "loader" for the sdcard like the XT1572 folks do?
IDK about the unbrick tool, but I have had a constant boot up, turn the phone off and it quickly reboots again. For me what worked is all about timing! I power the phone off and as soon as the screen powers down I hold power and volume down until bootloader screen! It takes some time to get it right on time, but it's worked for me in the past on my moto x pure edition. I'm stock 7.0 now but the issues occurred running custom roms, so really the same situation. Good luck and hope you get it. And I hope you have a backup to restore once you get into twrp?!?!
"If I hold in power button, it reboots to the same scenario.

On bootloop:
Hold power key only, when screen goes black - hold vol- only. It should go to BL screen.
AICP doesn't work at Nougat modem(radio/baseband).
You need to flash MM modem or reflash full Stock Nougat and stay on it.

This is beyond an AICP problem....it might be caused by AICP, but not getting into bootloader is even lower level problem.

I have 3+ of these phones. MY personal one works fine . This is a different unit of mine with this problem that was working fine before.
Fixed--one of the issues (others reported also) with later AICP is cant charge phone. We had that issue with this phone also.
On a hunch, I went to my Moto X Pure graveyard basket, and took out another battery, and put it in.
Viola--I can get into boot loader. The original battery must have deep-cycled so bad, it was dead, and even plugged in, cant get to bootloader.
