[Q] Phone turning on only via fastboot - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I've compiled CWM recovery from source, set it up before. Flashed and turned it on - works.
The problem is that I can't turn on the phone in the usual way. I have to go into fastboot mode, send "fastboot continue" from PC. When I try to hold the power button it goes to recovery.
How can I repair it?
Phone: GSmart G1317D
If any additional info is needed, I can write it here.

[Q] Can't get out of FASTBOOT

Hey XDA, I'm a 17 year old kid with a huge problem!
I have an LG Optimus one p500 that's stuck in fastboot mode.
After rooting I downloaded ROM manager and went to Backup my rom I have installed. After selecting that the phone rebooted but was stuck in Fastboot mode. It's been stuck for 2 days and I can't figure out how to exit fastboot or just reboot regularly.
Methods tried:
-Battery pull then turn on
-Press and Hold Homekey, Powerkey and Volume down when booting
-Run fastboot on my command prompt and reboot, continue or flash command
<But they all end in fsatboot mode "Fastboot: Processing Commands" still>
I've tried everything and read everyforum, My questions
1)How can I just reboot my phone regularily! so it's not in fastboot mode?
2) Is there a command prompt for fastboot that willl exit fastboot?
I just want my phone to work normally! Please help, much appreciated!
I think I posted this answer to late
this things also happens with me yesterday and for gaining back my phone first I press back button and volume up and while holding this button I press power key phone will boot into emergency mode and then I used used kdz
my phone came back again without any data delete
but my phone again unrooedt and I rooted it again using gingerbreak.apk
kdz is not necessary in this case (and is not recommended, ever)
try this:

[Q] Stuck on fastboot with broken pwr button

Hi I have the following problem: after I flash Cannibal open touch recovery I could not flash any .zip file so I decided that I go back to CWM touch so I restarted my phone. Phone booted into fastboot mode with the following message no boot or recovery IMG so I decided to flash recovery with fastboot. I opened the folder with fastboot command flash_recovery connect the phone to usb but the command line always showed waiting for device. I unplugged the phone and tried to press the volume keys but nothing happened as if it freezes. I pulled the battery and try it again but no response. I cant connect phone to odin because it has broken power button and after I insert the battery it always turn on itself. Please advise me what to do thank you.
Seems your drivers have gone corrupt. Try a different system and use Nexus Root Toolkit.
I tried this option but without success. Phone does not respond to anything. No volume up or volume down. It´s just stucked on bootloader.
This link says that if you get <waiting for device> , then fastboot is not configured properly. Check out the link over here.
You may also try this command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-crespo.img" to boot into recovery without installing it.
no hope
The reason you cannot navigate in fastboot/bootloader is that your powerswitch is probably stuck in the "on position"...does your device immediately power on when battery is inserted?
The way i solved this a few months ago was to completly remove my powerswitch from the board power my device on..use quickboot to enter fastboot menu and input commands...
Also completely removing your power button makes powering on your nexus alot more complicated.
what i did was go to download mode (holding vol+ and -) and pluging phone in..this takes you to download mode
then you need to get a copy of a boatloader file to flash via odin which will reset your phone and power it on...pm me if interested i can provide you with files necessary

Can't enter download mode (fastboot enabled)

So i followed a thread and loaded a profile on a kernel manager, reboot and now i'm stuck with a black screen saying [random number] Fastboot mode enabled. I can't enter download mode for flashing stock rom or do anything else. Is there a fix for this?

Push and hold Vol Down + Power, wait few seconds, the device is rebooting or power .
If the device is power off, or reboot, connect usb and release power button, just hold the vol down.
If your laf untouched, download mode is working and flash kdz.
You can't do anything via fastboot, all commands disabled, only some getvar working...

Can't poweroff the device... and power+vol brings always to the same fastboot screen =/
I also tried to flash laf.img from the kdz i had, but it fails
Fastboot is totally useless, because all commands disabled, you can't flash, erase, etc... I'm sure
If your laf is not working (i think, no working downlod mode, because reverted to fastboot) or your phone is not booted normally, your phone is bricked.
Only two solutions for you (currently)
1. LG Service
2. EMMC direct flash (require to desolder emmc chip from the pcb)

I'm in italy so lg service doesn't cover rooted devices =/. What's EMMC direct flash? If it's a hardware thing i guess i'm screwed

Nexus 5 Bootloop + No Power Button + Locked Bootloader + NO ADB -- Recover Data

Hey guys, so I have this dilemma on my hands. One of my friends has a Nexus 5 that has a power button issue. It seemed like a stuck power button, because even cleaning it did not solve the issue. So I removed the power button, and it finally turned on. However, it's now stuck in a Google logo bootloop.
The Objective:
To recover all data on the device. This is a must.
The Obstacles:
- No physical power button, but I can place a pair of tweezers on the terminals on the board to simulate a power button press.
- Bootloader is locked (I can unlock it, but that erases all data on the phone).
- Cannot enter proper stock recovery (I get a "no command" error when I do; I've tried all button combinations afterwards, including the ones from HERE, but to no avail).
- USB debugging was not enabled on the phone when booting normally, so even though the phone is recognized by my PC, I cannot do anything using ADB.
- Fastboot mode is the only successful mode I can reach on the phone.
The Final Question:
Does anyone know how I can successfully recover all the data on the phone using ADB or any other method, having the above obstacles?
Thanks in advance.
If you can reach fastboot without any problem, you can try to boot a custom recovery image using the following command : fastboot boot recovery yourcustomrecovery.img
(if you dont have a custom recovery, you need to flash one with : fastboot flash recovery yourcustomrecovery.img)
It will boot in recovery mode and, I hope, allow you to have an adb access and recover your data.
edit : since your bootloader is locked, i guess this won't work.

I bit of a trick. Try 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img' but instead of kernel flash twrp. After flash do a 'fastboot reboot'. It will boot recovery. Via twrp the pc will recognize phone as a media storage. You will not erase any data

Thanks for the response, but the bootloader has to be unlocked for that to work, and while I can do that, it will wipe the data I need.

Ulefone

I need help i have an ulefone armor power 16 pro in the bootloop and i cannot it turn off or come to recovery mode or fastboot mode what shall i do ?
Try to press Vol up and Power on the same time when the phone vibre leave the power button, it should go in a menu where you can choose between revocery, fastboot and system.
If you go in recovery you can choose system off.
Did you flash somenthing before the boot loop?
@Harlock1978 i can't come in the recovery mode or the fastboot mode and i can't turn the phone off.
Even pressing long the the two button? I need to press for a long time but then it vibre and I can find this alternative menu, but I have windows 10
What has Windows OS version to do with your issue? All you need is to install on PC the Android USB Drivers matching your phone what are provided by phone's manufacturer.
I can't come in recovery mode and in fastboot mode and the phone is in the bootloop and i can't turn it off have you an idea what shall i do?
@xXx yYy you say i must the Android USB Driver matching my phone what are provided by phone's manufacturer. Then i am out of the bootloop?
I came in the fastboot mode now how i can i via fastboot/cmd of the bootloop away ?
