Volume down button broken, so there is no fastboot - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my volume down button is broken, and I'm just wondering if there are any way to get into fastboot without hardware buttons... I was flashing through fastboot and I made some mistakes in the process, so basicly I have no S. O.
When I turn on the phone, it goes straight to recovery mode, but I'm not able to choose any other option, because my volume button is broken
Is there any solution or workaround to get into fastboot? Is to hard to repair the volume buttons? Thanks in advance...

TWRP custom recovery has a Reboot option, which includes 'Reboot to Bootloader.'

Setup a PC / Laptop for ADB. There is a command: adb reboot-bootloader
If ADB in recovery mode does not work with Windows, use Linux (an Ubuntu Live CD is enough) - install fastboot and use the command: sudo adb reboot-bootloader

I see. Can you use volume up to highlight adb? Then power button to enable?

Nope, I can't scroll up neither down, and "volume up" does nothing... My father has another moto g; if I borrow his volume rocker, could I be able to replace it and get into fastboot?

Possibly, but without a working volume rocker I see no way out of your situation.

You need to get ADB working. You should be able to restore the device that way without having to touch the buttons.

Unfortunately, adb recognizes my device as "unauthenticated" and I can't send any commands to it.

Hello bro
If you have rooted device.. You can find this app "Android Tuner"
Install this and grant root permissions... And in this tool go to menu and select reboot with full choices
And select recovery

Need Help, tablet in boot loop with Asus logo after flashing stock. Can't access fastboot.

Hello,
I was given this TF300T to check if I can fix it (it was really bad soft brick with data partition not being mounted by TWRP and giving on boot that it is encrypted).
I tried flashing stock and after stock ROM was flashed (followed the guide I found here) rebooted as per the guide.
Since then the tablet is in a boot loop, I can't turn in off completely and upon trying to restart it while holding volume down I still get into the boot loop. With volume up, it vibrates one and then "connects" to my computer as an unknown device.
If anyone has any idea on how to fix it, please respond. All help is welcomed.
Video of Boot Loop
if if vibrates, it's not a TF300T... because the TF300 doesn't have vibration...

Well, based on the kernel, and what it did say in the TWRP recovery before I tried flashing stock it is TF300T. And after checking online, the model for Bulgaria does have a vibration motor.

Before the bootloop starts again hold "Volume" down and you will get into fastboot mode.
After that you may do a Buster99: (1) Unrecoverable bootloader error but not Bricked! | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
BTW, if you cannot get into fastboot mode, please, dowload "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and try ADB.

So I tried that, but it still doesn't get me into fastboot mode. I also tried it with the reset switch and it still gets into the bootloop and nothing connects to the pc. However is I hold the volume up button, the display goes black and it does connect, but my pc doesn't recognize the device and can't find drivers. When I do the volume up it connects as an "APX Device"

In this mode it is still not seen either from ADB or Fastboot (tied both with Google Platform Tools ADB and Fastboot and with minimal ADB and Fastboot).
Seems there is a driver problem. Hopefully you will get it. So you may try the attached driver.

That was helpful, the tablet is now connected in APX mode. I tried finding the NVFlash tool for the TF300T, but it is dead and APX mode itself doesn't let you use adb or fastboot commands

Question Lenovo Tab P11 TB-J606F Stuck at fastboot, can't do anything.

I just bought my lenovo tab p11 and i decided to do a manual update through lenovo smart rescue assistant because my device has an old firmware and can't OTA update. The thing is, i forgot to do OEM unlock on my device although i did do USB debugging. I have successfully install the updated firmware on my device but i am stuck on fastboot mode which i can't select anything even if i select any of the option it keeps on booting to fastboot mode. The only option working is the Power off option. How do i fix this? Please help
You can try to reset tablet to Normal mode ( means boot into Android OS ) running
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot

Make sure your device is NOT connected as a media device ( means in MTP mode ).
Turn on USB debugging

Don't connect your device to PC. Press same time volume up+ volume down + power for seconds and your device will reboot.

Oppo phones have it's bootloader locked, there used to be method to break it but they fixed it in 2020 security update. So ig there is no way to unlock it.
adb reboot fastboot, in the exact same time that the command ends its process, disconnect USB from device, just 2 seconds, and reconnect again, it will show a fastbootd screen with the exact same menu that recovery.
Pressing and tapping on the recovery version also leads to download mode, specially useful for Qualcomm models.
This works for many Realme devices. Anyway, in a locked device, there’s no much to do through.

Question Stuck in Fastboot, trying to install PixelExperience

I'm trying to install PixelExperience following the tutorial here: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/veux/install/
I got up to the step:
With the device powered off, hold Volume Up + Power. Keep holding both buttons until the “MI” logo appears on the screen, then release.
My device only goes to fastboot when I turn it on though - it won't enter recovery..
When I turn it off, it turns on again straight away and loads into fastboot.
How do I exit fastboot and get into recovery + properly install PixelExperience?
Device is a Poco X4 Pro 5G.
Thanks in advance!

Try:
Download platform Tools and place the imgs to be flashed in the Platform tools folder then execute the commands from this folder.

If you use Power Shell, the syntax is ./fastboot
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
https://download.pixelexperience.org/veux
Then
Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation.
With the device powered off, hold Volume Up + Power. Keep holding both buttons until the “MI” logo appears on the screen, then release

Hi, the Mi logo does not appear on the screen.
The device powers back on to FASTBOOT screen as soon as it is turned off, without the any buttons being pressed.
The command entered was: "./fastboot flash boot PixelExperience_Plus_veux-13.0-20230419-0622-OFFICIAL.img"
Rename the boot img to pixel(for example,short name) and try:
./fastboot flash boot pixel.img
then
./fastboot reboot recovery
or try
./fastboot flash boot_ab pixel.img
then
./fastboot reboot recovery

It was on stock firmware. I'm not 100% sure what that was.
If there's a command I can run to check please let me know.
Nope, the best would be to start from scratch, by installing the stock rom with Miflash.
