My power button is completely dead. I can neither switch off or switch on phone nor can i out it to sleep widout third party app.
I need to unlock bootloader and root phone but all methods need a working power button.. Any way i can do this widout power button jus by using pc and command window ?
Please help.. Em a noob..
U need To have the adb driver installed and fully working and the debug USB on.
Shutdown the phone by typing in the cmd "adb shell reboot -p"
When your device is off you now can keep pressing vol+ and vol- and plug a USB charger keep pressing the buttons until the fastboot menu starts; now u can use fastboot commands To unlock the bootloader. When the phone reboot it self you need To go to developer options and re-activate the debug USB; don't let the screen turn off cause if this happened your devices is died.
Now restart the procedure and re-enter the fastboot menu.
By typing "fastboot reboot recovery " you will have the access To the recovery and u can flash the super su module

Hi to to select unlocking of bootloader i have to select 'yes' but power button aint working. Can you guide ib detail how to unlock bootloader widout power button
I normally don't suggest anything but fastboot however if you aren't concerned about issues and bootloops with modifying your phone... Check out towelroot. You should be able to root without unlocking your bootloader and you can use adb on your PC to reboot. After root use terminal emulator on your device for reboots if needed.

Root with towelroot as previously suggested. Then get bootunlocker from the play store.

I went through the process of rooting and then unlocking the bootloader based on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424
And everything seems to be fine, I even installed CWM Recovery, but I can't load the bootloader to recovery mode or anything. I've turned off fast boot and am applying the power button + volume down key for at least a minute. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
Try plugging your phone into your computer and adb into the bootloader using the command adb reboot bootloader. I have a hard time with the buttons but this always gets me into it.
I am in the process of rooting my phone and have already unlocked the phone but for some reason I am unable to boot into the bootloader. I have a MT7-CL00 and I have tried pressing the buttons on the phone, but every time I go into the normal boot mode.
I have USB debugging activated and I am able to connect with ADB / Fastboot and when I type ADB devices my device is shown as active.
When I type fastboot reboot I just get a message < waiting for any device >
Have I some now turned off the bootloader booting method on my phone?
Is there an alternate way to trigger the phone to boot into the bootloader?
Thanks!
Type adb reboot bootloader
Then fastboot devices, if it detects run further desired fasboot commands.

Bought this device and everything works great and I have root. When I try to unlock the boot loader by going to "Developer Options" and checking the "Oem Unlock", I then
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
At this point I do a
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Which then the device asks me to use the volume buttons to confirm, Volume up for yes and volume down for no. The problem I'm running into is in fastboot mode it seems my volume up and power key are completely ignored. They work in recovery and in android but not in the boot loader itself.
I have tried unplugging the phone after sending the command over to see if that is a factor but it doesn't seem so. I'm only allowed to use volume down which denies unlocking the boot loader.
Another thing if anybody can get me a scatter file that would be much appreciated.

How did you root the phone?
Hoping for an answer to the bootloader question as well. For root I'm going to attempt kingoroot and replace with supersu
Hello, I have problem with my softbricked Nexus 5.
phone is full stock
bootloader is locked
USB debugging is not enabled
Android 6.0.1
all buttons are working
USB socket is fine
Factory reset from recovery mode is not working - still bootlooping
My purpose is to bring it to live, but I am stuck. Due to locked bootloader I have to use LG Flash Tool. Some time ago I used it with my other Nexus 5 and it was fine - worked excellent. Now I want to do it again with other phone but I am stuck on start: Can't enter download mode (volume up+usb cable). When I am trying to enter to download mode,charging battery icon appears and after few seconds my phone is being recognized as MTP USB device in device manager. I thought it is a problem with the phone, but tried with another working Nexus and there is no difference - it looks like problem with phone-pc connection to me. I tried few cables (original samsung and nokia) and two pc's - no difference. Tried all USB ports etc. Clean reinstall (with registry keys delete) doesn't help, updated version 4.2 neither. Do you have any ideas how to fix it?
Download mode? Never heard of that on the Nexus 5. There is a fastboot mode for flashing stock ROMs and to unlock the bootloader.
I recommend unlocking the bootloader and using NRT to flash a stock ROM.

I have NRT but problem is that to unlock bootloader I have to enable USB debugging - I can't do it with bootlooping phone.
Bootloader can be unlocked without enabling debugging as you are not running adb commands, you need to run fastboot commands.

Thanks! Can I do it with NRT also?
Easiest way to unlock the bootloader on a windows machine is to do this:
make sure that the necessary fast boot drivers are installed;
boot phone into fast boot mode by holding down volume up, volume down, and power;
connect the phone to the computer;
type "fastboot oem unlock" without the quotation marks and press enter key.
Unlocking will wipe the phone.
Once unlocked, you can flash a stock ROM using fastboot commands.

Ok I did it. Do I have to proceed "fastboot reboot" command? when I am doing it it reboots and still bootlooping. When I enter bootloader it is locked again
If the bootloader relocks itself when the phone is rebooted, the memory chip is damaged and will need a motherboard replacement.
Got this phone today, can't get it to boot into fastboot or recovery - volup+power, volup+home+power, volup+voldown+power nothing seems to work and the phone just boots normally.
Also can't find which android drivers to use, or a reliable source of the apk to flash it.
Any suggestions?
Can get into fastboot via the command line, I guess I had the right drivers already. But can't unlock the bootloader because the volume up to unlock doesn't work, it doesn't recognise the button press.
Kingoroot won't work, likely because the bootloader is locked but not certain on that.
Try it maby
Try to enable the hidden developer setting and enabling ome unlock And then flash a recovery or a rotting file via Odin 3 sorry for bad spelling im 12 + I think that will unlock the bootloader and you can try kingroot , kingoroot and super one click
I have the version with 6.0 firmware, which doesnt unlock bootloader since the vol up does nothing on fastboot. Any solutions were found? Gratitude
