[SOLVED] [Q] Rooting Grand 2 with broken power button? - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I own Galaxy Grand 2 G7102, but it has partially broken touchscreen (menu and back button won't work anymore) and broken power button. Rooting requires go to recovery mode so power button needed and volume down and home button as well
So how I can rooting when power button broken (which it required for recovery mode access)?
While I find parts for my Grand 2, find some solution for me to make rooting without power button needed (I don't need "just replace the power button" topic)
Thanks
UPDATE: I've successfully go to recovery mode via ADB, but I was stuck and I can't select anything cause of broken power button. How I can escape from this before I bring them to repairment? Tried connecting USB while "recovery mode" won't work and it won't detect on my PC!
UPDATE 2: Problem solved. Had I bring them to service center to repair power button

Not sure if its possible on recovery mode, remotely keyboard may come handy.
BTW, how did you turn on the device without [power button?

I've plugged my phone first then I release and reinsert battery quickly to turn it on
Remotely keyboard? How? Using USB OTG?

Power on without power button

Hi..
My power button stopped working, so I took apart the phone only to discover that the flex cable to the power button had broken..
Is there any way to power on the phone without the power button?
I'm thinking some kind of battery trick or adb?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Never mind, found a way
1. get it in download mode (Hold volume down and home button and connect USB)
2. Once in download mode install heimdall command line on your computer
3. Type heimdall close-pc-screen
4. PROFIT!

Brick Scare: Can't Access Recovery From Hardware - Only From Software

So I have this strange issue. I just tried shutting my tablet down so I can reboot to recovery to flash something. (Mind you, I haven't flashed anything in a few days)
So I shutdown and I can't access recovery. It just wont boot. Vol+, Vol- and Power at the same time. I tried going power first, then volume and vice versa but no dice. My volume buttons and power button work perfectly fine while in the ROM.
Now at this point I was like, "Screw it, I'll boot into the ROM" but no.... It wouldn't even turn on. I tried plugging it in and nothing (~70% battery when shutting it off). Then I plugged it into my computer and it showed "Device driver software was not successfully installed" with a device named "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
Quick Google-ing made me think I bricked the device. I ended up just holding on the power button for a good minute and it finally booted into the ROM. I'm still unable to boot into recovery via Power + Volume Buttons... I have to use an app to boot me into it.
Why? What happened / is happening?
I'm not sure with the N7, but with my SGS III that's what happened when it bricked.

Yeah... very strange. I'm able to get into the bootloader without a problem... only through an app.
Can you attempt to reflash your recovery?

Could you double check you are pressing the right buttons based on these instructions:
[Info] Guide to entering safe mode, bootloader, stock recovery
You are NOT supposed to press 3 buttons, Vol+ and Vol- and Power as you described, rather just 2 buttons depending on whether you want recovery or bootloader.

Well now I feel like a total dimwit.
I guess I was so used to my Galaxy Nexus... I did a Google search on how to access the N7 recovery but I guess I glanced over the instructions too quickly.
This thread can be locked, lol.
BTW sorry, I fixed the link.

Thx bro for answer !!!

Flash a stock ROM through Odin. That should get you back to a running state. From there you can customize as needed. None of the key combinations need the home button to work, so you shouldn't have issues. But, you should repair that home button anyway.
if you still have a recovery then you need to let go of the buttons as soon as you see blue text at the top of the screen. if you continue holding the buttons it will try to boot the rom...
With broken home you can not enter recovery mode or download mode. Recommend replace a new home button or sell it to buy a new phone.
I dont think you need the home button. Press and hold volume up. Then press power button and release it after a few sec but keep holding volume up.
Same method applies for download mode only then with volume down.
@DSA: Next thing you know, he will have a way to reset the Knox flag.

Here’s how to enter Safe Mode on a Galaxy S10 smartphone:
Shut down your Galaxy S10 smartphone
Hold the Power button key and release it when the SAMSUNG logo appears on the display
Right afterward, press and hold the Volume Down button
Hold the Volume Down button until the device boots up, and the Safe Mode text appears in the bottom left corner

Put it in download mode. Hold bixby, volume up and power, plug in type c connector, and then usb to pc. You should be in download mode now

Root not working on One UI 3

Has anyone managed to boot into magisk mode on one ui 3? Power + bixby + vol up doesn't seem to be working anymore.. I also tried with the USB method but still no luck..
Recovery Mode UI 3.0
1. Turn off the device,
2. Connect the phone with a USB cable to the computer,
3. We wait until the screen showing the start of charging and the percentage of the battery appears,
4. Press the Volume + button and then the power button and hold both buttons until the device turns on -For older devices, such as Galaxy S10, it is required to hold the Volume +, Bixby and power buttons

I can enter recovery mode just fine, the problem is that I'm not being able to boot into root (magisk) mode anymore after the update. Vol up + bixby + power (and USB) is only taking me to recovery mode now.
So far TWRP doesn't support android 11. Maybe the next version will support it.
I'm in the exact situation. I think nobody understood the question. He wants to boot into MAGISK MODE (Root) which some time ago it was made by pressing vol + + bixby a couple of seconds then releasing both buttons at the same time.
Now with UI3 we are left with recovery using USB cable or normal mode but no MAGISK.
