I have a Elephone S7 with the home button broken (only fingerprint scan works) and also when I try to use adb & fastboot to unlock the bootloader the volume keys wont work so I'm unable to unlock it's bootloader, nor flash nor root.
I can detect it via adb, I can push the fastboot roem unlock option to the phone but then it asks me to press volume up to say "yes" and the volume keys won't work. Only pressing the power button works to reboot the phone. (the power button and volume keys strip is brand new because I broke my previous one changing my battery). Also my Android version is the 7.1.1.
I've searched and grinded for days and I can't seam to find a way to unlock my bootloader, nor root my device. No one-click root app works. And also yes, my phone is in Developer Mode + USB Debug Activated + OEM Unlock Activated.

Is there any way to unlock the bootloader without the volume buttons? Mine have broken (even when the button circuit board has been replaced) and all programs or guides i have found ask you to do at least one action with the volume buttons.
Unfortunately i have also upgraded to 5.1.1 so no easy root options.
Stock rom (hence the need to unlock and add functionality due to the loss of hardware buttons)
Thanks!
I think you should be able to use abd and use a command that goes something like "adb reboot bootloader" which will allow you to get in to the bootloader and unlock it.

You should also be able to reboot to Bootloader from NRT, can't you?
You'll be able to adb reboot bootloader but as far as I remember you'll have to confirm unlocking a bootloader using volume keys.
Just checked, if you have ADB debugging on, you can just use NRT to boot you into the bootloader from a regular state. No need to use button combos, however, I think you need to be able to use the volume rocker to confirm the unlock......
Hi. yesterday i bought a redmi 3s... i have put a pattern which i forgot and also a fingerprint unlock... the fingerprint unlock was working, until i tried other fingers to see if it could be fooled... obviously after too many tries, the fingerprint unlock won't unlock the phone without the unlock pattern... is there a way to hard reset such a phone ore delete user settings... i tried volume up + power button to acess the recovery menu, but when i acess it i get a weird menu saying:
your device has loaded a different operating system
for more info visit g.co/placeholder
if no key is pressed:
your device will boot in 5 seconds
if i press volume up or down, i get this menu:
power off
restart
recovery
fastboot
back to previous page
recovery and back to previous page return to the same screen mentioned above....
please help! :crying:
also, when i connect my phone in any mode to my computer via usb cable (download mode, fastboot mode, normal mode) i hear the usb connect sound but no folders open. I'd like to get to pictures made in the last 24 hours (thats the only thing you can acess without the pattern unlock on the side swipe menu).
You can still use the usb when boot using fastboot, just move to another port of usb in your PC/Laptop etc, for unlocking pattern :

Press and release power button few times. Phone will restart.
OK, there goes a big problem, I believe that my volume button - is broken and ends up being pressed constantly, so the phone goes straight into fastboot, I have tried several commands like fb-mode-clear, reboot-bootloader ...
nothing went right, i would like to know if it is possible to disable the physical buttons via fastboot for it to boot normally....
Or some command to enable USB Debugging via Fastboot;
additional information: bootloader blocked.
Now you broke de button, you are stuck Butrón

You are not able to change anything with a locked bootloader. So you can't modify/disable the hard keys.
USB debugging in fastboot mode is not possible.
The only way to fix this is to repair the key.

I managed to turn the device on once and enabled usb debugging, is there any way to disable the volume button (-) via command or TWRP?
To boot up your phone you must press+hold Vol +, too. This combo creates a bugreport and let your phone boot normally.
When I press and hold the vol- key on my Moto I can still use it as I always do except from locking it.
Try to remap your keys by installing the app "Button Mapper: Remap your keys" (by flar2). It's available in the Play Store and runs without root permissions.
Hello i am trying to root my 1year old heavy used phone . I am Stuck at the very first step.
Also it should be mentioned that it got a little bit wet by rain someday and then the volume down button was stuck (not mechanicly) it forced the volume setting to zero and had no sound.
I soft reset it . Than no change. had a hard time getting into recovery but i finally got there somehow i dont remember how.
Then hard reset it.No change....
After one day the volume key fixed itself and everything is working fine.
now after one month i was curious if i could root it. But i am not able to get into bootloader state.
I tried everything.
Debug options and oem bootloader unlock switch enabled, usb debugging enabled.
Usb adb says no permission (serial n visible)
Entering Recovery mode at power off state by
Pressing vol up and power button gets normal boot everytime but much faster logo visible at about 3sec.
pressing power + vol down = it takes 25sec
Booting normal .. and the same happens when pressing both vol keys.
I am releasing the keys at zte logo visible everytime
Something was strange : one time when i was trying something it bootlooped 3 times and then it was safe mode.
could there something in the volume button be broken? but the button work fine. I dont know.
Thanks for reading
update:
ok the permissions was a linux issue(start the adb-daemon with su), i can use adb now on this phone,
i can boot it in recovery now, but cant boot into bootloader
adb reboot bootloader leads to normal boot
in recovery, the reboot into bootloader option also normal boot
Hi,
I have trouble unlocking my A40. It's 2nd piece I own and the problem is the same.
When I follow the steps from this forum;
Go to Developer Settings and enable "OEM Unlock" option
Power off the device and boot in download mode
In download mode, you will see the long press and volume up option to unlock the bootloader
Unlock the bootloader. That will wipe your device so be sure you made a backup of your data
After bootloader unlock, boot up the phone and make sure it is connected to the internet or it will trigger rmm prenormal
Setup the phone without google account and others
Reboot in download mode and flash the recovery and vbmeta images
Boot to TWRP
Format data in TWRP
Flash the Multidisabler zip
Now you can reboot

I'm stuck at the 3rd point.
I don't see ANY instruction about Volume UP + Power in download mode. Nor FASTBOOT see my device to run actions with it.
What I see is only "Volume down key + power key for more than 7 secs Cancel (restart phone).
And holding Vol UP + Power doesn't do anything.
How to make this work?
Thanks.

You did enable OEM Unlock, correct?
Turn the device completely off, without any cables connected. Keep a USB cable ready that's plugged into your PC.
With the device powered off, hold both Volume buttons, and plug in the USB cable connected to your PC. Do not press Power. You should see a prompt on either a green or blue screen; select the option for Device Unlock Mode.
Finally.
Thank you for making me try for another time
