SO I looked around and diddn't see my particular issue posted already.
My S III has a broken power button: when I gently tap the power button the phone locks, then turns back on, and then shows the power off options as it would if I held the power button down. I dissasembled the phone and tried using the hardware button itself (without the actual plastic button over it) and I had the same issues.
I am broke and really want CM on this phone. As you would expect, If I even try to get into download mode to flash CWM Recovery, the power button forces the device to restart.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that I could install CyanogenMod without the use of this button or maybe any other way.
All help is appreciated,
Thanks!
Edit: If it helps, I just noticed that i'm on 4.3. Is there even a way to unlock or roll back the bootloader at this point?
Thanks again.
The power button on my phone recently has stopped working. I need to get it warrantied, but I am running CM 10.2. I need to Odin back to stock, but I can not get into Download Mode or the recovery. When I go into Download mode, the initial screen pops up, the one where you choose to hit up to continue, or down to reboot normally. After I hit up, the screen goes black and nothing happens.
I really need to get back to stock, as Bestbuy are being dicks, and demanding I do a factory reset before they send my phone in.
Anything? I still need help on this.

This has been covered at least 10 times in the past few months we need a sticky. Take your battery out hold your phone so the power button is facing a table or floor and slam that side a few times it should work again (Temporary). You might need to hit it on the surface really hard 10-20 times before it works. Just not to hard or else you might crack the screen. I used a mouse pad to soften the impact. This trick no longer works for me so I ripped the button off. After about a month of doing this I needed to use things that would only hit the button to make it work. About a month after that nothing worked so I just took it off the motherboard and now boot from a off state by plugging into the wall and enter odin mode deny the prompt and it kicks me into a workable state.

I can get into the system just fine. When I go into the recovery or download mode, it doesn't stay in that mode. I tried the banging thing, and it made my power button go from intermittently working, to not working at all.
keep doing it until it works. The button is sticking that is why it reboots/stopped working.

It sounds like your power button is physically broken, and it is activating intermittently, which is stopping the phone from entering download mode. My only experience with this problem is my own phone but ultimately mine got so bad that I had to rip the button off the motherboard, as ThePagel did. Your symptoms sound the same as mine.
You can try this procedure to get into recovery, which works for me without a power button. You will probably have the same problem you are having now with the phone rebooting on its own before you actually get into recovery, because the power button is activating.
1. Take the battery out of the phone and unplug it from USB power.
2. Plug in USB power.
3. While holding down the volume-down button and the Home button, insert the battery (this is a little tricky).
4. The phone should start and warn you that you are entering Download mode. If you want to use Odin to return to stock, do that now.
5. If you want to get into Recovery instead, press Volume Down to reboot and then *immediately* push and hold Volume Up and Home simultaneously. The phone should reboot into recovery. Mine does.
If that doesn't work, and you can't get a new phone without returning it to stock, then prying the power button off the phone's motherboard may be your only solution.
hello
i have nexus 5 that in the last 3 mounts was untouched because i went back to dumb phone, but now my works need me connected to the internet so...
my phone stuck on the google with the unlock\lock screen, every 2 sec its resets, then again same screen for 2 sec, over and over again.
when i try to get in boat-loader, after 2 sec it again reset and go back to the unlock\lock screen.
when i try to plug it in to PC -nothing
when i try to open the phone and check the power button, it is all good and nothing pressing on the button. and its still loops over and over(didn't tried the "band on the edge" thing -its still plastic and small parts)
if its a motherboard problem can i have a price for it and information how to replace it
and if not i am willing to try any other option
thank you and have great day
The power button doen't need anything pressing on it to be a problem.
Open the phone, remove the motherboard, quickly press and release the power button, using more pressure than normal and try again. If that doesn't work, you may have to replace the power button.
The cheapest way to replace the motherboard would be to find some selling a phone with a smashed screen and a working motherboard.

Hi,
A friend of mine gave me his Samsung Galaxy S6 because he knows I know a bit of smartphone repair. (I have installed a lot of custom roms, replaced screens, batteries, ...)
But I can't seem to solve his issue.
After charging at night, he wanted to power on his phone, and it wouldn't turn on. Only the led shows a blue light. It's impossible to turn the phone off, only by removing the battery.
I tried every option I could find
- Volume up + power button = same as just powering up, only the blue led light
- Volume down + power button = does nothing
- Volume up + home + power button = does nothing
I held every combination for over a minute.
I even tried to connect it to my PC and to get to it using adb commands. but my PC can't find the device.
I used a backup screen to make sure it wasn't just the screen that was broken, and this screen worked perfect on another Samsung S6.
My friend already has a new phone, but there are some pictures on this S6 that have some emotional value to him (pictures of deceased pets for example)
Does anyone have any idea what options I got left?
Or is this phone completely dead?
Thanks in advance
Strange. Seems like you have a damaged partition. Do you see a boot logo when powering on?
e.g.

Samsung
Galaxy S6 (edge)

Let's start with the simplest.
I hope you tried to:
(1) completely turn off
(2) press and hold vol down + home + pwr.
As you can't get into recovery/download mode, why not try a simple usb jig made with a resistor? This method will turn your phone into download mode again. You may want to use odin to flash a custom recovery and then backup your data.
Here is a short clip on how to use jig:

Soldering and recovering data stored on the nand chip can be a dangerous undertaking. It's advisable to take your phone to a data recovery specialist if needed.
Good luck
Thanks.
I indeed tried to power off the Phonehouse and using the "hold vol down + home + pwr".
I ordered a USB jig on eBay (I'm not the best in soldering, don't have a steady hand).
I'll try it, and hope it works.
Hi guys,
so I am trying to recover my ERISIN ES7825V which only has soft-touch buttons from a failed Malaysk.
All I want to do is get back to the OEM version.
What I managed to to is to get Android 6 recovery on there.
The unit only has a reset button in the front, which resets the unit.
I have tried the methods described here (hold and wait till the buttons blink), but it never worked.
The buttons didn't even blink after about 2 minutes of holding down the reset button.
What did work though, is holding the button down for 45s, then pressing it for another 1-2s and then shortpress.
Sometimes that got me into recovery. Other times it went to the Android logo and I could get into recovery with an usb keyboard (R-ALT + Prt Scr + e).
Through this process I have managed to flash Android Recovery 8. But I can't figure out a way to get into Recovery now.
It shows the Navigation Splash screen and then black.
So I wanted to know, if any of those methods is possible?
1. Since it obviously aitomatically flashes the unit, if it finds an update.img on a bootable SD, could I then just create a bootable SD with update.zip so it flashes that also?
2. Could I have a bootable SD, that gets me into recovery though some kind of glitch?
3. On the back of the unit, I found these... pins? Can I do something with them to get into recovery? Like short circuit two of those or something?
https://ibb.co/0qm4kPf
4. I have noticed, that the RST-button on my unit acts different then on other units. So if I do get into recovery, it tells me to short press to select and long press to choose option.
If I press the RST-button, the unit just restarts. So that seems to be the only function. However, if I insert an SD card, it moves one option down. So does plugging the SD card in trigger a button press? It's really weird.
5. I have an USB keyboard connected to the unit and it did work on Android Recovery 6. However, now, with 8, it doesn't do anything. I can press R-ALT + Prt Sc + e all day, nothing happens.
Any way of going into recovery with an USB keyboard, still?
6. I have an USB-A to USB-A cable that I can connect to my computer. Is there a way of connecting it in a way, that I can trigger recovery from adb?
7. In the folder of the PX5 Upgrade Tool I saw the following two files, that I needed to copy onto the SD card: format_data.flag and format_sttdata.flag. The files are empty, but I guess, those are flags that tell the updater what to do after the update is done. Is there a flag-file to get into recovery?
Also one thing: I managed to get the button lights working, so I can at least see, when the unit is on. At the moment, I can see the following behavior:
Unit turns on and shows splash screen, then goes into black screen with the buttons on. After 10 Minutes or so, the unit restarts. That's it.
So it's not dead, but I don't know, what else I can do.
Any ideas regarding those methods?
Thanks!
