Turn on Moto G5 with broken power button - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

The problem is that my moto g5 power button does not work. Normally I would just use the fingerprint scanner to turn it on; but in order to put in the sims card or the micro sd I need to remove the battery. Is there a fastboot or adb command i can run. It successful booted by me putting it on the charger once in the last 2 weeks but thats it.

You can use in bootloader fastboot reboot to power on your device and ADB reboot to just a restart the device (adb command is use when device is on & fastboot command is use when you are in bootloader)

Hi thank you for the response. I tried running that and it says reboot is not recognized as an internal or external command. I am running the portable version as i do not have admin permission due to me doing this on a library computer.

The correct command is actually "fastboot reboot" (not only "reboot") in folder where's adb installed/extracted (perhaps even "mfastboot reboot", if you are using mfastboot instead of fastboot). However, you will need to install adb and fastboot drivers first (I strongly doubt they are already installed) so you will need to use an admin account either.

You can hold volume down and connect charging, this will open fastboot where you can either press the power button, if possible, or connect your phone to a computer and run fastboot commands

Maybe some of this works for you:
If it simply does not press, try changing the lid, since the buttons are integrated there
If they press but do nothing, try to open it and change the buttons
If you installed a Custom ROM try to return to the stock, to check if it is the ROM or physical damage

[Q] Stuck on HTC Logo, can't get into bootloader after root attempt

Hi, I know there are a lot of other similar threads but none of them have solved my problem.
I ingeniously decided to try upgrading an old Desire HD to Jelly Bean to use while I'm waiting for a new phone that I actually want to be released. I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039 successfully until this part:
7.If this is all fine boot into bootloader again.
From bootloader go to fastboot.
Go back to the cmd window on your PC from earlier, type in:
•Fastboot oem lock
Then type:
•fastboot oem rebootRUU
•fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
•fastboot reboot-bootloader
unlock the bootloader again using the Unlock_code.bin you got from HTC:
•fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After I ran "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" my phone restarted and now it's stuck on the htc logo. I'm unable to get into the the bootloader by holding volume down while powering the device (though I was having this problem before starting the root process, instead I was using "adb reboot-bootloader" to get into it). I've also tried to leave the battery out for a while. It's not being detected by HTCSync or "adb devices" either.
Anyone have any solutions to this problem? I'm a complete Android noob so please keep it simple (though I have experience with UNIX and the command-line).

stuck in the same place... before unlocking bootloader pc would recognise the phone. now it doesn't... i think were stuck unless a developer helps us
Hmm, remove and reinsert the battery, and plug it into a computer, don't power the phone on, wait and see if the computer detects it, if it does, try "adb devices" to see if it shows up.

Windows detects an "Android Phone" in Devices but "adb devices" is still empty.

i had the same problem but fixed now. The way i did this was to actually take out the hardware for the volume rocker and check if the contacts are all in place. i then booted into bootloader by connecting my phone to a power source (computer or ac) and pressed the volume down button so that it registered. For some reason it seems to register you clicking the button better when its out of the key. Sorry if you don't understand this, I really don't know how to explain the rocker and the keys separately 0_o
Some times guys the firmware.zip file once flash does get stuck on the HTC White screen during the exploit just run ADB and continue with the unlocking of your radio. Its safe.

Wooh!!! It worked !!! Thank you very much!!!
For future reference, this is how what I did to complete the root process:
1. Pull off the battery cover, take out the battery.
2. Rip off the label with IMEI and S/N and then use a toothpick or plastic tweezers to pull out the ribbon cable from the volume rocker (see video here: youtube[dotcom]/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk&feature=player_detailpage&t=143)
3. Press the volume down button on the cable a few times to make sure it clicks then clean the inside of the volume rocker a bit, put the cable back in, and press volume down a few times to test it.
4. Put the battery back in, connect the USB to your computer, hold volume down and press the power button so that it goes into the bootloader.
5. Go into fastboot and continue the rest of the steps from the guide.
Note: if adb doesn't detect your phone then reboot it and enable USB debugging again in Settings > Applications > Development and then reboot into the bootloader.
Thanks to everyone that helped ! :good:

How to remove BootLoader unlocked notification from boot screen

Hey all. I'm in a bit of a pickle. My Tmobile LG g4 has stopped fast charging. When I plug in any cable, I do NOT get the USB notification which allows me to connect to my PC. Enabling the MTP option in the Dev options still does not allow the device to be connected to the PC to flash back to stock for warranty support.
Is there any way for me to save something to the SD card to reset back to stock? Do I have to connect it back to stock or at least relock the boot loader?
I've tried multiple PC's and multiple cables with no success to get the device connected. When connecting to a PC, I get. The device has malfuntioned on my machine.

does it go into download mode.? phone off vol up key and connect usb.?
if you want to remove unlocked bootloader follow this comands
UPDATE:
I was able to Lock the bootloader.
1. I connected the phone to my PC
2. Powered on the Phone (it took a few tried of pulling the battery and powering on)
3. Check the box for OEM Unlock in Dev. Option
4. Use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and type in
Quote:
adb devicecs
- you should see the phone listed as one of the devices in the command line window
Quote:
adb reboot bootloader
- phone should reboot and you shouold see 3 lines of text on top
Quote:
fastboot oem lock
- nothing will happen on the phone, but on in the commandline it should say that it is done
Quote:
fastboot reboot
Phone reboots and the boot screen does not show the unlocked bootloader message anymore
Unfortunately, the computer will NOT detect the phone. No computer will. Using a USB cable that came with it , no luck either. Any ideas?

so basically theres no comunication with phone. not really. unless you go and exhcnage it to tmobile, so you cant remove bootloader unlocked message either. if you lucky and tmobile doesnt check for it then you may be able to get it exchanged. as it not recognized in any computer ill say its hardware problem. good luck.

How to turn on the device without using on/off button?

Hi. My all side buttons the phone doesnt work any more, it was not a big problem until my battery run out...
Is there is any way to boot it up without using power button? for example with PC or something but of course without losing data??? Please help I need to boot my phone, at least once..
any one people? someone in here definitely should know something about it. xda-dev always do
Any way to do it through ABD?
Try plug it in usb and check if it connects to adb. If yes then type adb reboot. It will be booted to home screen. Else u can try by pressing the volume up and plugin the usb cable it will connect to fastboot then type fastboot boot system.
thanks for trying but it doesn't work...

@Sw1pe, if your phone is turned of, connect it to your computer while holding the volume up button. Blue led will glow on your device, your phone is connected in fastboot mode. Now open a command window and type "fastboot reboot" without the quotes and voila. Your computer must have adb and fastboot installed for this purpose. Similarly there is also a command for shutdown command but not for fastboot, but for adb. Hopefully this helps.....

Thanks mate thats a good method, I knew it but the problem is like I did mention in the first post, that all my off my side buttons doesn't work, including volume amd camera button... So im more unlucky than you though. But there is even bigger problem, I don't care that much about the phone, I could just send to incurance. But the problem is as I found out recently, I have very important files for me in phones memory... Thats where this situation makes me extremely unlucky... As those files supposed to be in my SD and I always thought they are until this happened... is there is any way to get those files out?? I got developer mode / usb debugging enabled on my phone. If I send it to incurance I will lose those files... :crying::crying:
@Sw1pe did you get your phone on in the end? I have the same problem

Boot without power button

Hey guys,
I recently repaired the display of my girlfirends OP3. After that she complained about the power button not working every time. So I opened it up again, but this time, I completely ripped off the power button.
Now the phone is off and i can't get it to boot. Online i found the "solution" to boot it into download mode. The problem is, im not sure if I am really in the download mode. The bootloader is unlocked.
Do you have any other mechanics to boot into the system?
Did you try the following options?
1. Plug in the charger. It should get a phone started.
2. Install Android SDK tools from here https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where ADB is installed, and run 'adb devices' after plugging in the switched off OP3 to the computer.
Then execute 'adb reboot' or 'adb reboot fastboot' or 'adb –s <device ID> reboot'.

Dead screen Data Recovery?

Hi,
sadly I broke my one plus after dropping it the other day, the phone is still working but the screen is completely cracked and wont turn on.
Do I have any chance of accessing my data?
Info:
Android OOS 10.0.16
Bootloader unlocked
TWRP Recovery 3.4.0.2 HotDog
ADB sadly unauthorized...
ADB Shell in TWRP (seems useless tho)
I tired accessing the data via adb in twrp but as we know the decryption is not working.
I was thinking maybe booting a patched boot image would allow me to access the data via adb?
Any ideas would be appreciated I tinkered with the phone for a few ours.
Thanks
Replace screen?
I assume pc can't see your internal sd?

Yeah I cant see the internal SD sadly.
I already got a replacement 7t so I wont be repairing the screen.
I just found a solution thats working for me mileage may vary:
Requirements:
USB Debugging enabled but the phone was NOT authorized
Win 10 with a ADB terminal ready
Type C cable (the original one is prefered)
USB OTG Adapter
A USB Keyboard
Turn On Sound if your Phone is silent this will help you since we are flying blind
1. Open a terminal type "adb devices"
2. Restart your phone (hold Power + VolUp for about 15 sec it should vibrate
3. Connect the OTG Adapter with they keyboard and press spacebar, next type your PIN and press enter (as far as I know your out of luck if you have a pattern setup
4. DONT TOUCH the screen. Connect your Phone to the PC
5. One the Phone will be a popup asking if you want to allow USB Debugging
6. Connect the OTG Adapter again and be careful not to touch the screen.
Press TAB once and press spacebar to permanently remember the PC.
Next press TAB twice and press Enter.
Thats it!
If you did it correctly you can connect back to the pc and the phone should be authorized.
Now to backup the Data from the phone just type
adb pull /mnt/sdcard .
this backups all data to the current folder
If your screen is still working than this is much easier of course, I had to give it 5 to 6 tried before I got it working!
