Hello!!
So, here's the situation i've found myself in.
I bought a phone with a cracked digitizer, i bought a digitizer and replaced it.. however i damaged the volume buttons.
Booted the phone up and it fully works, however the person i bought it off used a password, which they didn't tell me
ADB is not enabled (cannot be enabled without access) and i have no way of booting to the recovery or fastboot.. the power button options are also only "power off" and "reboot"
How do i gain access? i dont mind the volume buttons not working.. i just need access to either the phone, adb recovery, fastboot etc....
HEEELLLLPPPPPPP
I'm not sure what rom it is (because i dont have acess), but its either android 5.1 or 6..
I had the same problem.
I solved it by buying new keys on Ali: http://it.aliexpress.com/item/Origi...11&btsid=a8e70488-46b6-4d42-a23c-c2e676bd2601
and welding them on the motherboard.

Ok, so I bought this phone as a project, it will boot fine to the lock screen, but I think the digitizer is jacked, but I want to test other things just to make sure. For instance I try to go into recovery mode by holding vol down and power and get nothing. So i dont know if the button is bad or I am not doing something right. Or if fast boot could be the cause, I cant get to menu to see if it is on. Also is there a way to get debugging on without using the phone? I'm guessing no, but I could do alot more to the phone if it was on.
Anyways. Any advice, or suggestions?
pull the battery, put it back, then try to get into recovery, and w/o usb debug or root, its very difficult to do anything with it in its current state
EDIT* also, its the button is having problems, the nice thing is that you can actually access the button itself under the volume rocker, to see if its an actual button hardware issue
Nope, battery pull didn't work, still booted normally. blah.
check my last post edited with something that might help
I appears I have damaged the hardware volume buttons of my Shield Tab. I don't know exactly when, I suspect either when I unlocked it(it was working while I was doing the unlocking), or when I dropped it the day before that, but I know for sure it was working immediately after that.
I was living with it fine using an volume app, the shield controller and my bluetooth headset buttons, but now I'm in trouble.
I was trying to get it rooted, which I didn't do after I unlocked it. Now it will not boot. Lack of volume buttons makes it so I cannot fastboot the device with hardware.
Right now I am very lucky ADB is working when it's booting, but I am afraid to do anything at all to it, as if I loose ADB while it's trying to boot it will be effectively a brick without the volume buttons working.
I think I need to take it apart and figure out if the vol buttons hardware is the issue, or something worse.
Is there any teardowns of the Shield Tablet? How do I open it?
Hello GUYS,
I have a problem: I Bought a Oneplus One few months ago with a broken LCD. Yesterday I fixed the phone but during the fix I broke the volume buttons flex cable (a really really small cut on the cable). So that means the volume buttons are not working anymore. Also when I booted the phone up I saw that there is a password on it.
I want to reset the phone, but I cant go in recovery as the phones volume buttons are not working anymore. Also USB Debugging is not on, so I cant boot into recovery via adb. Also the phone is stock and not rooted. I can't turn USB Debugging on as there is a password.
So basically the phone is useless, and my question is: IS there any way to reset the phone??

Do you have Android Device Manager on your OPO? If you do you can wipe your data from http://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
Hello,
So I've found this old Huawei in my drawer but since it has a pattern code and I can't remember it (and it isn't registered in my google account devices), I wanted to do a hard reset of the phone.
The problem is that I can't access it. It seems to have some kind of custom firmware of my operator (Swisscom, a Swiss operator) so it always boot immediately on the main screen. I've tried the "Power button + Up volume button" and "Power button + Down volume button" but none of them worked. I've had a look at the little manual of the phone (since I still have its box) but there are no pieces of information about bootloader.
So I've tried to get rid of the pattern with adb but I don't know if USB debugging is enabled (and I can't check it since I don't know the pattern lock). So I still tried but the device is shown as "offline" in adb (and I've tried to plug the phone in different USB plugs and with different USB cables : it is still shown as offline).
So here I am with that phone I can't do anything with.
Any ideas or should I simply get rid of it ?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried holding all three buttons down?
It doesn't work either. When I start pressing the Power button (even if I was holding the volume buttons before doing it), it boots the phone immediately (you see the logo of the mobile operator and then it shows you the main screen with the pattern lock).
(Newbie, sorry for any mistakes...)
This is a totally stock phone that a friend gave to me. He damaged it somehow, and the power button and both volume buttons are missing. When a power cable is plugged in, it boots to some kind of recovery screen, entirely in Chinese. I haven't been able to try any of the options - I can't select them. Is there anything I can do? (Posting here because it's the only place I know of that might be able to help.)
