Need to turn on Moto X Pure *without* power button (not rooted) - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Hi
Need help, please I just bought HTC Magic which is stuck at " HTC Magic " screen and I don't know how to fix.
I tried with phone turned off:
Volume down + power button, back + power button, home + power button, home + back + power button and nothing happens just HTC "Magic screen"
Your bricked.
Hi
Is there any way I can fixed it? Thanks
Pull the battery, then reinsert, then hold volume down + power and see if you can get into hboot.
Hi
Thanks for the fast replay, but still no luck still stuck at "HTC Magic" screen.
Does the computer detect it? Do adb or fastboot "see" it?
Hi
The computer does not detected, when I plug it in the usb nothing happens, I haven't tried adb or fastboot as I don't know how to can you please explain. Thanks! I will be happy if you can help me fixed.

Try the VOL DOWN + POWER thing again.
*remove the battery
*reinsert the battery
*while the phone is STILL OFF, hold vol down + power and do not release until you get to a white screen.
If that works, let me know and we'll proceed.
What country and carrier is the phone? You can try this method, but MAKE SURE your device matches the device this guide is intended for. If it doesn't match you could make things worse. http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-unroot-the-htc-magic-non-mytouchget-back-to-cupcake/
Hi
I kept for more than 2 min. volume down+power button, but still no luck didn't get white screen just the HTC Magic screen
I think is HTC Magic rogers, under the battery is written "HTC Magic A6161"

I think we're beyond my ability to help. Do a search around here for "goldcard" and that might help you. We need someone with more experience than myself.
Sorry.
Goldcard isn't going to help if he can't get into fastboot/hboot/recovery. Like I said, he's bricked. You may be able to get it fixed using the JTAG method, but that requires a special cable and the know-how. Maybe you can search the internet for someone near you that does it, or send it to an HTC repair facility. Do you still have it under warranty or have the equipment insurance through your carrier?

Bummer. I was under the impression that if he's getting a boot screen it's not bricked, the software is just ****ed. But I agree, if he can't even get into hboot that does not bode well at all...
Hi
Thanks for the help, so you mean this phone in not fixable.
Hi
My SD Card is empty it has been formatted maybe that's why i cant get into fastboot/hboot/recovery when I press those button combination.
Unfortunately, no. Hboot/fastboot/recovery are all written to the phone's internal memory, so the SD card has no baring on it.
Hi
That is what the previous owner (which he bricked it) said:
Semi-bricked HTC Magic
A ROM upgrade was attempted. I've forgotten why it didn't work, it may have been because it was an incompatible ROM?
Can I boot from SD Card?
Thanks

Don't think its bricked. Try type "fastboot devices" in a command prompt in your fastboot folder. If it shows up under listed devices its not bricked. I've had this happen where just the file that makes the screen light up didn't get installed. Just have to reinstall the bootloader. No big deal.
Scratch that!
I'll buy it from you for $5

1)Already tryed that and the adb devices...no luck
2)Nothing is displayed on my n4 screen,absolutly black,but it's still on
3)my pc dose a sound when i connect/disconnect the phone
I found something
"Seems that while flashing that ROM you have managed to destroy parts of the Bootloader, wich finaly results in the device doing nothing. (Black Screen etc)
Partitialy you are right yes "QHS-USB Mode" means your device is hard bricked an in the so called QHS-USB Download Mode
but this mode is meant for vendors to flash bootloaders etc on the devices.
To access the device in a propper way u need some "non-public" tools wich QCOM usaly only supplies to vendors not to endusers!
Without thoose programs u will be not able to access the device in any way, even with thoose tools without the expierience and knowledge and files u need, i guess u will not be able to recover it yourself.
I do not want to risk some trouble with QCom at all so i do not can point u to the propper tools to use but i'm sure when using google u will be able to find out what tools i'm talking about.
In my mind the best way for you to recover that device is a JTAG
So my suggestion is to search for a JTAG in your region a JTAG in europe usaly is arround 30 euro but price can differ in your country"
So.....no luck till now,the phone is hardbricked.I'll send it monday to warranty,maybe they will fix it for free if not....then this is an excuse to buy N5

[Q] G2 won't boot after failed custom ROM flash (LG-D800)

So after trying to backup everything in recovery and flash PACMAN ROM for my phone, everything seemed fine, until it rebooted... When the LG logo appeared, suddenly weird horizontal lines started going across my screen and suddenly the edges of the phone started greying until the whole phone started going greyish-white, then powered off. I tried rebooting several times, and eventually it just wouldn't boot at all. If I hild the power button, it vibrates for a sec and nothing. When I plugged it into my PC, I can access it like a USB storage drive and my internal storage is still there, but I can figure out how to fix my phone. Did my screen die? Is there a way I can recover my phone from my PC via USB?

Back up your internal storage to your pc, more importantly the nandroid which is in the TWRP folder. Then follow this guide to get your phone back to stock.
I think that rom is kk u can find more info about that problem in liquidsmoth thread please tell me if fix it if not that mean how I know maybe u need to replace something in motherboard
Art is right. Follow the guide to get back to stock. If that doesn't work then it's a hardware problem.
Looks like I'm never trying the pacman rom on the g2...
Ok update. After following the steps in that guide posted, the firmware loaded and the AT&T boot screen popped up after reboot, though now LG Flash Tool is still doing it's thing and the screen's off with the phone still in USB and power light slowly blinking red, so I have no idea if it's fine or not.

Its sometimes show just white screen after unlock,or camera wont switch on.
And battery draining fast.I thought firmware upgrade will fix it but its brick now(

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!
