My power button is broken so I need to take my phone in to get it replaced. Following the instructions to get it unrooted/return to stock, I need my phone to be recognized in fastboot. It's not happening; I've tried it on three PC's and none of them even see a device connected. It's not even a matter of drivers because when I'm in fastboot it's like nothing is connected at all.
I can't use my volume buttons in fastboot, basicaly I can't do anything at all in fastboot...no volume buttons, no power button and it can't be recognized.
Volume buttons work when phone is turned on. I can do anything I want in recovery or when the phone is up, but in fastboot I can't do anything.
Someone please help!!
By the way, ADB works perfectly but obviously fastboot does not because my PC thinks nothing is connected when fastboot is up on my phone and as I mentioned, my phone is completely unresponsive to anything that I do when I'm in fastboot. I can't use the "volume up/volume down" and tap the power button to get into downloading mode either because MY STUPID POWER BUTTON IS BROKEN!!!
Thank you again in advance....you will be my hero if you can help me with this!!!

I have tried that so much I think I'm going to break my phone.
I just need someway to return this phone to stock without expecting fastboot to work because it seems like it is unresponsive since the power button is not working. I know this sounds weird as heck but I have all the correct drivers installed but three different computers don't see any kind of usb device connected when the phone is in fastboot. I sincerely believe it's because while in fastboot my messed up powerbutton is screwing it up because it's thinking that the power button is held down the entire time.
If anyone has any ideas on how I can get back to stock please tell me. I have 100% access on my phone when it's in recovery because I can use the buttons at the bottom and I have 100% access when it's fully booted up but when it's in fastboot I can't do anything and no computer even sees a USB device connected to it.
Pleaseeee help!!

i believe that my phone thinks my power button is always pressed down too, but fastboot works here. my suggestion is that you try a different usb chord. i had an usb chord that i could charge with fine, but nothing else worked. i thought my nexus one was messed up until i tried another usb chord.

I tried 3 cords, I'm going crazy here! USB works perfect everywhere but both fastboot and recovery don't let me use my volume or power buttons...at least I can get by in recovery because of the capacitve buttons but I need fastboot to return to stock to get a new phone. I am so frustrated!!!!

have you tried pdanets website? http://junefabrics.com/android/
go there, download the free download and install it to youre computer. its tethering software. but thats not why you should try it. follow the on screen instructions after its installed and itll install the proper latest drivers for your phone. theres a chance your drivers might be out of date.
oh yeah. Used pdanet drivers and Google drivers. No luck with either. I can adb with both but like I said the deicer is not the issue it's that fastboot is totally unresponsive so it looks like nothing is connected to the pc

anyone have any other options/ideas for me?? It would be greatly appreciated
Find an Odin package. Put phone into download mode by installing battery, holding volume buttons while connected to USB.
Does anyone know if the 301k ohm resistor jig works for ns?

ODIN doesn't work because of the gosh darn power button being broken.
I went kinda crazy and erased everything in recovery so now all the phone does is boot straight into fast boot. I deleted the boot.img recovery everything, hahahaha (I laugh but really I'm crying inside).
I need a fix ASAP, I'm officially out of a phone.

Wow, this actually worked for me Thanks Simms!
I just got stuck in the same situation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22884288&postcount=24) so I kept tapping the back of my phone (with the back cover off). Fastboot kept restarting at first, but then my volume keys started allowing me to change options. I selected recovery and nandroid restored my phone. Now all is well *wipes brow*
Funny thing is, my power button now works properly again (it hasn't been working for the past week)

have you found any solution? I have the exact same problem here: powerbutton stucks and no usb-recognition in fastboot (no luck with the tapping either) but no problem with adb in normal mode.
would be great to know if you found a way to deal with this. Thanks!

Same problem here.... going crazy since the power button just died on me. I think the device thinks the button is pressed all the time, which makes it a hw issue.. any help to retrieve data on phone would be great!
Having the same problem as the OP...
Pls can someone find us guys a solution.:crying:
Thanks
I had a broken power button and had the same problem. I just sent it back to Samsung with no ROM on it and they fixed the power button and put Gingerbread back on it even though I had voided my warranty by unlocking the bootloader ;')

Mine broke when I installed Jelly Bean. Something fishy is going on. Now I have the same issue as OP.
Okay guys, I have an annoying problem. My phone after the ICS update does not want to go into CWM Recovery with the Power button + vol down (or up) method. I can never get the darn thing to work. It just loads up until the white samsung logo and then goes black and just vibrates. Any idea what could be the problem? It's an issue because it means I can't root or anything since stock won't allow me to go into recovery. The only way I used to get into recovery was through rom manager and I obviously need super user permissions to do that.
Another thing is, whenever I power on my phone with the usb cord plugged in, it automatically enters download mode. I know you're suppose to hold certain buttons but I just power the thing on and it goes straight to the DL mode screen. I'm thinking these two things could be related.
Any idea on how to fix this? I went back to complete stock and it didn't do a thing.

My phone was being a bit finicky with this as well, I found the below sequence to work for me every time.
Press and hold both vol+ and vol-
Press and hold power
Wait until phone is vibrating once every couple of seconds
Release power
Release vol+ and vol-

u need to b specific to get proper help.
u stated "Either way, the methods don't work ", specifically what methods r u talking about, there is only one method in using the buttons that works as RabidSmurf has stated, but first pull battery and dont keep usb plugged in, if that didnt work redownload cwm, check the md5 checksum and reflash using odin
To get into download mode I'm holding power+vol up+vol down
after the phone starts up release the power and keep holding up+down.
Let me know how it works.

Make sure it is not attached to any USB. Not even the power outlet because it will take you to firmware update mode (download mode) and hold up down volume keys and power until you see the white Samsung logo. good luck!
i had to deal with this when the firmware failed to ugprade for some reason, what i did was download odin and the stock rom and flash it with odin, i was back up in no time
Not booting
Frnds plz help
After flashing am n m same soc chipset custom rom my phone is not going in cwm also another problem is after pressing the power button the phone screen is gping black n then boot audio is playing but phone is not booting completely.
To be more specific i have cqnvas 2 plus with mt6589 and pne site there was eom name note 5 evolution for a116 hd with same soc i.e. mt6589 hence i flashed the rom it flashed succesfully also but then the problems occurred.
Plz help me fast thx in advance.
Hello XDA,
i have XCover3 and the device is bricked. When i would boot it only vibrate one time, wont show any light or other, i dont can get in download or recovery menü. The phone was bricked by using kies (firmware update wont finished).
I have read a lot about unbrick via SDCard (debrick.img or SDC), i hope some people have also Xcover3 or a ATF Box and can me create a Image for SDCard.
Thank you XDA

How about vol-down home and power?
So after an weekend i was successful. I don't know if it was my modified img from an 389f or just luck.
The phone didn't show anything. No charging animation, only a black screen. Also with a jig plug it only lighted up a bit, but black screen.
Then i tried my sdcard with the modified imaged.
But i think the main reason is when you press the buttons.
I started up with volume down+home and power. Release it and after a second of black screen i pressed the vol-up key. Suddenly it worked.
The timing is important! Because i was surprised i tried it several times, but only with the right timing i could enter de download mode blindly.

Try to hold all buttons of your phone down for about 10 seconds and then your phone should restart itself.
Force your device to reboot by holding volume down, home button and power button at the same time. Hold the buttons down until the device reboots.
From then you can attempt to flash stock firmware via Odin and then making sure that you have enabled OEM unlock in developer options and that you have the correct TWRP for your device (Check MD5, to make sure it isn't corrupted)
Didn't help!

Hey! How did you manage to solve the problem? I'm having the same issue.
Greetings of the day,
Hello everyone, I'm having a oneplus one 64GB phone that is not getting start, everytime i connect it with the charger it goes into a bootloop. Yes the phone was rooted and I was using a custom ROM with the default kernel. The issue started when I tried to reset the phone to battery settings. I think I somehow messed the kernel and now it is stuck in bootloop. The problem is that I can't connect it to my computer or put it in debug mode as it just restarts again. Any idea how to actually boot it so I can install the kernel and ROM again?

No, My phone is not getting on but whenever i am connecting it with my charger the phones goes in the Bootloop, and when i am connecting it to My PC while pressing Volume Up + Power Button Pc shows that the Unrecognized devices has been connected.
And i think phone is Hard Bricked. I have tried ADB software and one plus 1 drivers manually but it didn't worked too. I have tried minimal ADB too but it also didn't work.
Kindly let me know about it.

Volume UP + Power should boot in fastboot mode. Volume Down + Power should boot into recovery. First, try to boot recovery.

I have tried both, but nothing happens with it, Volume UP + Power shows the unrecognizable device is connected and Volume Down + Power does nothing it continues with bootloop .
Have you got Developer Options enabled?
Goto About Phone & Tap Build Number until Developer Options is activated. Goto Developer Options> Advanced Restart & enable the switch.
Press power button->Restart->Recovery.
It will now boot into Recovery.
Also have you tried keeping hold of power button whilst it bootloops. Keep holding the power button until it powers off. Then press Volume Down & Power Button to power back up (you might see a slight flicker onscreen that means it should go into Recovery mode). Keep hold of these buttons until you gain Access to Recovery Mode.
This will allow you to Recover or flash a different ROM.
If you're having issues connecting to a computer (Windows) try downloading Windows Media Center for your version of Windows. This will install media drivers to recognize your phone.. If all went well you will get the pop up with A0001 (Codename of OnePlus One). From there you should be able to enter fastboot mode through ADB.
If this doesn't help you, I'm sure that someone else will untangle the puzzle to get your device in good working order buddy. Good Luck.
