Been a while since I've modded any device, but I got the free A32 5G and a free line like most T-Mobile customers and wanted to leave this in the car as a hotspot and navigator. However, I noticed that the device won't power up automatically if the battery is drained or the device is off.
I've seen the "fastboot oem off-mode-charge" being run in recovery mode, but I can't seem to get the device past "Entering fastboot..." nor can I no longer detect it when typing "adb devices".
Is this option possible at all on this device?

OK, so here's the issue. I have an HTC Desire C. It's my girlfriends so I don't know the OS version. I replaced the Touch Digitizer because it was shattered (it did respond to touches though). Now that its replaced it seems to respond to touches but not correctly. I can't get it to swipe the lock screen out of the way. It's as if it is not calibrated correctly. So I'm stuck on the lock screen.
I want to run ADB so I can figure out if its registering touch events correctly, and also try and send them over ADB. But, being my girlfriends phone, she never enabled "USB Debugging". When I hook the phone to the computer, I don't see it showing up as a unknown device in windows Device manager (VISTA). I know it works, cause I tried it with my Nexus S and that shows up. I know the steps are first find it in device manager then manually select the driver as the ADB interface, I've had this working on my Nexus S. But the issue is that it doesn't show up at all in Device manager, and I assume its because USB debugging is off. I tried turning off USB debugging on my Nexus S, hooked it to my computer, and it doesn't show up either. So it seems like that is the issue.
I tried to boot into recovery (power button + volume down), then went into fastboot, connected the phone to the comp again, but it still does not show up.
Below are some of the other things I have tried, but they still brought me no luck:
I have tried installing HTC sync so I get the HTC drivers on my computer, but it doesn't even show up in HTC's software (In fact, it does not show up as a storage device either, I assume cause you have to accept the notification on the phone, but I can't use the phones UI at all). I tried moving the HTC drivers into c:\windows\system32 and it still does not show up. I then tried rebooting the phone and my computer. Still does not show up. It seems like windows isn't even reading the phone as a USB device. Tried swapping USB cables (both work with my nexus s), and still nothing. Is there something I am missing?
Any help would be much appreciated, this is driving me crazy.
Also, after replacing the digitizer, if I first boot into the phone and then hit the power button, I don't get the content window that allows you to choose "reboot", "shutdown", etc. The only thing I can do is hold it for 15 seconds and the thing turns off. I'm hoping this is because I never passed the lock screen for the first time. I'm hoping this is not an indicator that I screwed something up when I opened the phone. I've had my Nexus S open plenty of times.

I can't get the phone to show up when I type "fastboot devices" or "adb devices". I have tried this from the lock screen, from the bootloader, from the bootloader and in fastboot mode. That is my critical problem now. Cable is actual data cable, and I'm using USB port on back of a desktop computer. Is there anything else that could be causing the phone to not be recognized?
I have an old Mi1s here that I was planning to mess around with. However, I found that booting into recovery and bootloader sent the phone into bootloop.
Furthermore, after I tried to wipe the phone's data, the OS (MIUI v5 stock) now forcibly returns to the home screen every time I try to open an app. I can't do anything in settings unless I move very fast.
Plugging the phone into a computer or charger does nothing when the phone is in OS. Not even any charging. adb devices returns nothing. However, when the phone is powered off and plugged in, the phone's power LED turns on and the phone charges. adb devices returns its number and says it is unauthorized.
I've recieved my second MotoG 3rd gen today. Both stock, untouched. When booting to fastboot mode I've noticed that it shows 'Device is ENGINEERING' and 'Software status: Modified'
We've got a similar device for my wife so I can compare the two. This one shows 'Device is LOCKED. status code 0' and ' Software status: Official.'
The device with status Engineering does not respond to adb or fastboot commands and is not recognised in windows device manager or the Motorola device manager.
Made a call to customer support where I bought the device and I expect they will just swap it.
Still, out of curiosity, tried to google the problem but not much shows up, except a few Motorola Nexus devices that show a similar status. Does anyone know the exact meaning of 'Device is ENGINEERING'?
That's the same thing as Service Mode. Every phone has it and you normally enter into it by a series of numbers on the dial pad. There are also apps that do it. I wouldn't have a clue why yours is showing that in the bootloader unless some Moto tech left it there after testing. I would think there's a fastboot entry to stop it. I also wonder if you could go in and out of service mode after booting.
Enable USB Debugging
Open your dialer
Enter *#*#2486#*#*
There's a factory setting on the bottom checked as default.
Do I need to uncheck that radio button? There is not much I can do in that service menu. Tried to change between factory and alt but that did not change the status back to normal.

I don't know about that. I'd wait and see if Motorola gets back to you. You could try posing a question in the Motorola Owners Forum at https://forums.motorola.com/hives/08e565d7be/summary Log in with your Google ID if you haven't been there before.
i also have a phone that says engineering in fastboot mode and was wondering what it meant. its a xt1550 asia model.
my phone has a lot of extra apps however bug2go battery tracer desense tester cdbench iplog tool just to name a few. should i leave the phone as is or is it possible to flash a US retail.? any comments are welcome
Hello, there.
I bought my nexus 5 the day it was launched. Worked great for 2 yeas+.
Now is dead. It's a long story.
One day simply died. I pluged it to charge it and turn on and off constantly (boot loop). I watched some videos on youtube where people constrantly press the power button and after a moment, it worked. But eventualy stop working again and it never boot again.
I can't access fastboot, nothing. I researched again and found that the power button could be damaged. So I removed it and install a new one and SURPRISE. The loop was gone, it charges, but the power button doesn't seem to be working...or could be another thing!!!
When I plug it to the USB, the PC recognize it, but as "other device". However, it call it "Android". Can't understand.
If I search for adb devices on the command line, it founds nothing.
If adb devices could find it, maybe i'll be able to boot it from the command line, right?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Adb commands won't work unless the phone is booted into the rom. If you can get into the bootloader, fastboot commands should work if the drivers are loaded.
Hi there,
long story short: my girlfriend broke her phone (Google Pixel, first Generation) and has unbackuped super important stuff on it.
The screen is totally shattered and does neither display nor accept any kind of input but it seems to be working apart from that, you can hear the alarm in the morning for example and the fingerprint unlock gives force feedback. If I connect it to the computer it's reconized as Google Pixel but I can't access the data as USB-Debugging is disabled and I can't change the USB-Mode. I managed to boot into fastboot and the decive shows up with the "fastboot devices" command.
I already tried to get my desktop PC's screen connected to the phone with a DisplayLink connector-box but the display gives a "no input signal".
Maybe anyone of you has any idea what else I could try.
Thanks in advancve.

Short of replacing the screen, I can't think of anything.
