[Q] Need to unroot but power button broken

My power button is no longer working and I need to unroot in order to get repaired through sprint. With no power button I can't flash through recovery. I'm not familiar with adb push but I have used button remapper to gain access to my reboot options and to wake the phone. Can anyone help me please???
Update*** seems the power button works to select in bootloader but still not in recovery??? Need to find a way to get S ON without recovery
ISSUE RESOLVED I USED ROM MANAGER'S INSTALL ROM FROM SD FUNCTION AND PICKED THE S-ON ZIP AFTER THIS INSTALLED I PULLED THE BATTERY AND HELD VOL DOWN AS I REPLACED IT THEN USED HBOOT TO INSTALL THE PC36IMG FILE WOOT!

The button is just a cosmetic cover for a micro switch. Can you stick a pen in there or do you need to take it apart to gain access

Wat I would do is report it as lost or stolen make a new story or tell them that some one dropped in the toilet its still going to be one hundred no matter what

Would have to take apart but button feels fine still has click to it and whatnot I think micro switch is the problem. Button just no longer functions

my power button just stopped working, i need to unroot to see if sprint will fix it, im rooted with the kingdom virus b1.3 rom, i have a custom splash screen which i was told i need to change back to the original before i unroot, i found an app that allows me to reboot into the bootloader screen but once it does it always freezes and it never ask me to update the pc36img file or whatever...is it because on the virus rom i had to partition the sd card or something? is there a manual way or something to change the splash screen? also if i can get the splash screen back to stock how would i go about unrooting with no power button?
thanks

I am having the HARDEST time getting my phone to S-ON. My power button is also not working, prohibiting me from using recovery to flash anything. I used unrevoked3 to root my phone and I am trying to get S-On with the S-ON zip to no avail. I do the same as you and flash it through ROM manager, it flashes the zip but doesnt go back to recovery, instead it restarts the phone on its own and back to my ROM. I then go to the bootloader and still says S-Off. I've done this about 3 times with still the same S-Off in the bootloader. I don't want to run the PC36IMG until I KNOW i've achieved the S-On. Where am I going wrong here? It has me frustrated to no end...

[Q] Stuck in bootloader, anyone help?!

Whats happened is my phone was running abit slow earlier and the volume keys were not working with the music player so i decided to restart it. Now whenever i boot the phone up it boots straight into bootloader and it doesnt respond to both volume keys and the power button. The only way i can switch it off is by removing the battery.
I have tried booting the phone into recovery using adb, and i get the error device not found. Ive also tried booting it and holding the power button down but it still again boots into bootloader.
I seriously need to fix the phone as its got info stored thats important, so whoever gives steps that bring the phone back to life, Ill be donating money to them.
Thanks

You can't use adb but fastboot.
try to find some tuto on google. You can flash all with fastboot.
Sorry I'm not familiar enough to help more, just an idea.

If can boot fastboot can try to install a new recovery image

If its going straight to hboot with no help from you(ie not pressing button combo) the your volume key is probably stuck. Take off the battery cover and GENTLY try to loosen the volume rocker to get it unstuck

Do you have CWM?

I think your phone volume switch press continuous. So its starts bootloader every time. Real Solution to repair your phone (Maybe it's liguid demage maybe main flex)

[Q] Stuck in a boot loop with HTC diagnostic area (dead volume down rocker)

Hey guys
I'm running MrGarak's fantastic MIUI rom however I've found that the kernel is booting my phone into that white HTC diagnostic screen by default. Unfortunately my volume down button is dead and so I can't navigate the menu; the only way I can boot my phone at the moment is to boot it connected via USB as that makes it boot to Recovery and I can reboot from there.
Any ideas? I think this and another rom I tried both used LordMUE's kernel, could that be the reason the boot preferences don't default to just booting the OS?
Any help and/or pointers would be greatly appreciated

So you can access bootloader and recovery!
So just flash another kernel. What's your problem?
Put a zip on your SD (with a SD reader or ADB pull), then go in recovery, navigate with the 4 keys under the screen (or vol+ and power)... and flash.
What is strange for me is that it seems to happen sudenly... so how do ou know it's the kernel. Anyway...

I have clockwork recovery, and can navigate it using the soft keys (home menu etc). You should also he able to use the vol up key to get to the bottom of the list, (depending on the recovery you're using I suppose)

Unfortunately it boots into the white HTC area (dunno what it's called). The one where you can see if your phone is S-OFF or not.
Also, I'm not sure what is to blame... but I've only just recently noticed that my phone cold boots this way so I assumed it was a recent rom that I applied. Will test this theory later.

Sounds to me like your volume down button is stuck in.
Definitely not a ROM issue, as it has nothing to do with the bootloader.

Hey, i had this issue like a month ago. You can check my previous threads. It's hardware I'm 100% sure. Basically if you're in warranty you need to flash the stock rom with S-On so you can get a new phone. You can get it to boot but it's really a pain. You have to play with the volume up when first turning on your phone. It took me about an hour. Then when it boots you'll be in a "Safe Mode" (no clue whats limited all seemed fine to me). Then do your backup if you wish.
Also note: Flashing the S-On rom is a PAIN, took me about 2-3 hours of rebooting, holding vol up, tapping vol up, to get it to boot right, but with patients you'll get it to go.
Good luck to ya.

Ah, I'm definitely beyond warranty. The thought of vol+down being stuck down makes a lot of sense!
I'll just take it to one of the dodgy Asian repair shops, if it's a hardware issue I'm sure they'll know what to do.
Cheers for your help everyone!

[Q] HTC One M8, Cant access revolver, stuck on 4.4.2 GPe boot screen, PC cant detect.

Hey guys, currently 3AM here and Ive been racking my brains for hours trying to get something ...anything to happen. Im stuck on the GPE boot screen (just a black screen with "google" in white), when I hold down Power+Volume+ it simply reboots and I end up back on that screen. The device was rooted (CWM) and was running 4.4.2, it was originally running sense but Ive been using stock for quite some time now without issue. I tried installing the new OTA update for Android 5.0 and thats when this happened. As Im getting nowhere, my current next step is to get some sleep and leave the phone to simply run out of battery (as I currently cant even turn it off, the screen is stuck on), and hopefully thatll get me somewhere. In the meanwhile, if anyone can offer some guidance it would be greatly appreciated, from what I can tell, it isnt bricked - but it may as well be because I have no way of interfacing with the thing (that Im aware of). Google has also failed me as I cant find any similar cases and most of the guides assume am able to access my device via ADB or Recovery.
Im willing to do whatever to get this phone working as I planned to factory reset anyway.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Title should say cant access recovery! it was late =[

are you able to get the device into fastboot? you should be able to flash an RUU zip if you can.

I had the same problem. Use power + volume up to switch off and immediately just press the vol down button. You might have to try it a lot of times for it to work. It took me atleast an hour to do it lol.

Can't turn off M8

I recently wiped the phone from TWRP.
Now it's stuck on the white HTC logo and I can't turn off the phone, not even by holding down the power button for a few minutes!
Any ideas what I can do?

Hold volume up and power and it'll reboot

Thanks for the help! Perfect!!

I had just updated my M8 to marshmallow yesterday, and it was working fine last night, then the whole of today it was stuck on an "android is starting screen", and I couldn't turn it off or on. Thank you sooo much!

Hi,
I have the same problem. I had HTC One M8 AT&T Unlocked International Version and I unlocked the bootloader and root it. Everything was fine until I installed Viper/Venom ROM. Before installing that ROM I created a backup of the previous ROM. I didn't check on Data and I think that on the error is on that step.
Anyway I installed Viper / Venom ROM (Marshmallow 6.0.1) and wasn't able to connect to WiFi. So I decided to go back to my original ROM (Kitkat 4.4.2).
Now the HTC is in a boot loop, flickering but I'm not able to select and action. I can hold the volume up and the power button and restart the phone. But I don't know if I can get into bootloader. My best scenario is to wait until the battery runs out of energy and the smartphone turns off. I will connect the charger for some minutes and then I will turn on the device with Volume Down and Power in order to get into the bootloader. If I can't get into the bootloader I will be in a big problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

That is just user data, you should be able to restore the previous ROM as long as you backed up system and boot. But it's also possible that the backup is just no good, causing it to be stuck with no OS (it happens).
Anyway I installed Viper / Venom ROM (Marshmallow 6.0.1) and wasn't able to connect to WiFi. You probably need to update your firmware.

You can. Do the button combo to reboot (vol up + power), once the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of the buttons, and just hold vol down, and don't let go, until you see bootloader screen. If this doesn't work, you just got the timing wrong, either you started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat the sequence until you get it right.

Thanks, I was stuck in the same loop. It took a couple of tries but I managed to get into recovery
