I recently dropped my phone in water. The screen is now black (internally, the screen connector is cooked).
Good news :
The phone boot
The phone connect to my wireless network
The usb port is working (vibrator too, ... speaker not).
Bad news :
The display is broken
Digitizer is not working
USB debugging is not enabled
I only have a partial backup (pictures).
I'm running Android 11, stock (not rooted) and OTG is not enabled by default.
I have to recover some files (by example , my signal backup file).
Ways to recover
Recovery trough android is not possible since OTG is not enabled.
Recovery trough application is not possible (need to install/configure an application)
Maybe I could enter (blindly) the boot recovery mode, enable USB debug & disable screen lock trough ADB ???
--> Is it possible ?
--> Can anybody post the exact key combination to enter the recovery mode ?
--> Can you confirm that I can enable usb debug trough the recovery mode ?
Thanks !!!
With phone off hold vol down + power, after vibration keep holding vol down for 20 sec.
With phone plugged in:
adb shell svc usb setFunctions mtp
Not sure if it'll work with stock recovery.
Thanks for your answer. But as far I know, once button down + power is pressed (20s) , ... the phone enter a "menu", ... in this menu, there is a combination to reset the phone OR enter recovery OR enter fasboot ? (right ?)
Thanks.

Vol up is fast boot for sure
Fastboot reboot recovery
Edit:
Just noticed you have screenlock
Not sure if possible to unlock without screen.

Hi everybody,
1. My current problem is, that I cannot get into fastboot mode anymore.
2. I have installed ROM 4.2 on my Nexus S (9023) and still a running system.
3. ROM Manager does not allow "Reboot into Recovery"
4. Nexus S harddisk is recognized with Windows 8 (USB mode works)
4. "Vol Down plus Power down (with and without Home Button) does not work
Does anybody know an easy way to activate fastboot plus recovery again?
Best, Rolf
Hold down volume up and power at the same time until fastboot pops up
Yeah, vol up + power is the combo for bootloader mode on NS.
Thanks. Very simple. Tried it before. No reaction. Turned it now to factory reset and now it works with your encouragement. Sometimes these phones have there individual life...
Best, Rolf
K got this HTC from a friend of me, was working before, had it rooted and fixed with custom rom
It was S-on on v1.27
k now gonna try to explain what's going wrong:
When i shut down the phone, put battery out, back in, connect to usb, i get the phone recognized by ADB (my HTC phone)
when i type adb reboot-bootloader, device responds and boots into fastboot mode
when i use vul up i get Fastboot usb on screen
from this point i can't get any further, device doesnt respond from any button action except for vol up.
Device is not recongized in windows now (windows 8 64bit) got the famous error 43
So in ADB everything is fine, but in fastboot nothing is working/responding
when i pull battery out, then put it back in, i can succesfully boot with volup en power, then i get everything running (custom rom from before) but it says safe mode
Any ideas what i can do to get this thing back on it's feet?
regards,
Robin

In bootloader(fastboot mode) no buttons will works except vol up,down and power..
If you want to flash a custom rom then
First goto bootloader
Now enter to recovery by using vol down and then power button to ok.
Place a Rom.zip in sdcard format cache/dalvik , all partition except sd and then flash rom..

problem was that none of the button's where responsive, i found the cause of this, volume buttons are damaged (the strip inside was broken)
So now i have a new problem much wurse i think
only power button works, so i did a complete reinstall with ruu, booted up fine, but always in safe mode for some strange reason,
Now after shutdown, i can't get the phone on anymore, only goes to Hboot, and there is nothing responsive, non eof the buttons work, can't use vol buttons because they are broken.
Adb is not responding either, only getting HTC Android USB device in my device list....
I think the phone is ready for trash? :S

in bootloader adb doesn't work only fastboot
so when you are in hboot screen try this command
fastboot reboot (in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)

can't get into adb anymore so i think the phone is dead unless we repair the volume buttons right?

since you are dealing with a hardware problem then yes
but try this
boot normally(even on safe mode)
connect it to pc and type
adb reboot bootloader
it will take you directly into fastboot mode
then type fastboot reboot
see how it goes and check volume button from there(to confirm the hardware issue)
otherwise repeat the procedure but instead of fastboot reboot run the ruu.exe again
Hi guys!
Here what I wanna do:
My POWER Button is broken, I have somehow managed to bind the VOLUME_DOWN to lock/unlock the phone when it's on.
However I want to figure a way to turn on the phone (when it's off) only by using the charger (not an external support like the PC with adb).
So I wonder If I can enter in the fastboot mode (by plugging the charger and pressing VOLUME_DOWN button) and then press the VOLUME_UP button to boot directly on the system.
Is there a way to do this ?
For instance mapping the VOLUME_UP button to run the cmd "fastboot reboot" ?
Thanks
PLease any idea ?
Thanks
Hi,
I updated the stock kernel a few days ago so the phone automatically boots when its plugged into a charger.
Is it something like this you're after?
What kernel are you using at the moment?

Hi Mike and thank you for your answer.
It is definitely somethinf I wanna have!
My kernel is : HAMMERHEAD-HAMMERHEAD: Android 6.0.1 - Build: M4B30Z
Thanks a lot
ok,
My updated kernel can be downloaded here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1m11geKa39h3oplTAJeFSySd6E79CjaQS
The original/backup can be found here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1njEwbcpwNWAW7WLUwn6FS6PvGY7iZdmN
just flash it as per usual via fastboot:
fastboot flash boot image-new.img
fastboot reboot
Flash the original/backup if you have any problems..
*** I hold no responsibilty if anything goes wrong etc etc... but it seems to work fine on mine with the same build...
Let me know how you get on...

Ok I've the very same problem, I can only turn on the phone by entering in bootloader (hold VOLUME- and plug USB), and using fastboot (fastboot reboot), but I need a PC obviously.
I'm wondering the same thing as amazingmif, remapping one of VOLUME BUTTONS to POWER.
I prefer a bootloader mod and not to rely on kernels (but thanks mikep99)
Could someone help us?
Thanks!

Hi KeyofBlues,
I have found a temporary fix that requires only the USB charger.
Enter to the fastboot mode with your PC and run the command : fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0
Now if your phone is off, it can be turned on only by plugging the USB!!!
Hope it will help!!
Hi there,
i do not want to be annoying, but still need Your help, because I do not have any further idea, what I can do to enter the fastboot mode on my Mediapad X2.
I have a Mediapad X2 GEM701L and flashed with the "dload-method" the B205 Android 6 Firmware of the Mediapad GEM702L (see here).
It works fine. (only the known issues like DT2W is enalble, but does not work).
I flashed that rom, because, I hoped, that the fastbootmode and the recovery mode will be usable after that.
Before flashing, (and still right now) , it was impossible to enter the fastbootmode by pressing Power on and Vol down.(USB cable is connected to the PC). Entering the fastboot mode by power off the Mediapad, and connecting USB Cable to the PC while pressing Vol down, was impossible, too. The tablet is always booting into the system. (normal boot).
Pressing all three buttons (Power , Vol up and Vol down) will enter the Huawei install screen. This works fine and any (correct) update.APP in a dload folder on a inserted SD card will be installed.
I also can reach the Huawei recovery screen to reset to factory defaults or wipe the cache and dalvic partition.
I tested several ways: USB debugging = on / USB debugging = off, Hisuite-Mode =enabled / disabled, USB mode= Hisuite, Google oder Manufacturer mode...
no way was successfull.
It is always the same result: The Mediapad's screen stays black, because the white fastboot screen does not appear. In Windows (10) I get a device connected, but not a specifc device, there are only three points. When started the Mediapad normal (in system), the device is recognized correct.
Please, can anyone help me ?
Thanks a lot and excuse my bad English, I am from Germany....

You have to use a usb cable connecting your phone and PC first. This is required.
Then press power+ volume down to boot up. It goes in to fastboot mode.

Hi iamhcg,
thank you for your reply.
As I wrote above: connecting the Mediapad (powered off) with USB cable to the PC and then pressing power and simoutaneous Vol down, does not work. The Mediapad only is booting to system (EMUI)... not into fastboot/flash mode....
That is the reason, why I am calling for help here....
SOLVED !!!

OMG ! the trick is the sequence, to press the buttons:
Only when I am pressing the VOL down first and then the power-button, the fastboot-mode will appear....
Thany you for your patience.

Wow, so glad you figure that out. When you said you fastboot-flashed other rom before, I knew fastboot mode got to be there. It's most likely some detail procedure that's got overlooked.
For me, I normally connect my phone to PC, and press reboot while my phone was still on. All I need to do is press volum down button. I don't even need to worry about the power button. It is interesting to know the specific sequence actually affects the outcome.
How can I get my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra out of stuck at 'entering fastboot mode'?
Hold down power and volume down until it reboots back to recovery. I got stuck there last week and that's what worked for me.

Is this problem solved? I cannot boot into bootloader mode, thanks!
Switch off the device. Then hold volume up and down buttons and insert the USB cable plugged to PC. You will get to download/odin mode

Download mode is different from fatboot mode, I can enter, and works ok download mode. However, fastboot does not, it gets stuck in entering fastboot mode and no fastboot command works
I got same issue here, I've tried rooting via TWRP and after data wipe and "reboot to recovery" it got stuck in same thing and doesn't move at all, if I hold power and vol down it just boots the device which i dont want since i need to flash magisk as a last step. if anyone encountered this or knows how to fix it i'd be helpful
I'm not rooted but I've had past Samsung devices that I was able to root and if I'm not mistaken Samsung phones aren't able to boot into fastboot mode because Samsung removed the ability to. You can run commands via ADB mode but I think that's about it

Guys, turn off the phone, press volume up and volume down together, and plug the usb cable while pressing volume up and down, and wait until the phone enter in downloading mode. This work for me.

Since we can"t enter into fastboot mode is it possible to flash boot.img with adb commands?
I m having the same problem with a21s(a217f). I can t enter download mode using key combinations and the other way launching it from recovery doesn t work, it stays stuck at,, entering fastboot mode,,
The ROM is already bricked, it says in recovery when i try to factory reset the following error:,, can t mount. /system (structure needs cleaning)
Even with,, apply up. with adb,, doesn t work, it just doesn t get detected on my computer when i checked with adb tools.
! The only thing that works is that I can access my sd card and apply a update from sd card but I don t know where to get the update file. (I ll edit if it works to flash stock rom from,, apply update from sd card,, )
Anybody got some ideas or should i burn my motherboard and replace it?
sorry for bad english
Honestly plug device into PC.
Power off device
hold all 3 side buttons. Volume up and down and power/bixby.
Should usually work.
After in fast boot you must press a button Volume button to find via odin.

I already did that, unplugged the battery, reconnected it after 1min, connected my phone to the computer and pressed all 3 side buttons, still doesn t work. I guess the download mode is deleted or something..
Volume up & down, no side key, then connect to PC. Works for me. Connect to PC first does not work for me.

It wouldn't be deleted as it's a safety protocol if the device has a bad update and freaks out.
Maybe try to person above method.
Normally I can enter download mode with any of these methods if you cannot I'd suggest trying to get the device replaced due to software malfunction

Samsung phones use a tool called Odin to flash firmware. If you're flashing custom firmware firmware you'll need to have your bootloader unlocked.
I got mine into download mode just now. It's a Galaxy A13 .. Like stated above, try to hold all three buttons down and connect to USB. I had to let go before it showed the battery charge icon. From off. If not from off try from charging. I think that's what I did just now. Plug the usb -> let it show the charging icon (from powered off!) -> hold all three buttons, let it power on, let go. DONE.
just follow this video it helped me a lot to unlock my boot loader
