Is there a way to root a DInc with a broken volume key?
Unrevoked should do it without you needing to touch a single button. And after that, you can use the opitcal pad to scroll thru options in clockworkmod.
Read instructions if your going to root then, because if you encounter a problem, and your not able to boot your phone regularly, you might be screwed because I'm not sure if there's any other way to get into HBOOT/Recovery.

Hello guys,
I got a problem. when i enter the recovery mode(the green font) i cannot use my volume up and down to change option i want to choose. can anybody here help me on this? thanks in advance.
You can use the touchpad to make choices, it's usually not too responsive but it gets the job done.
First, what recovery are you using? If its ClockworkMod you should be able to.
Hahaha.. This reminded me the time I rooted my phone. I used the r5 guide here in xda in rooting my desire, and after step2, on the recovery menu, I couldnt use the volume keys to scroll up and down the menu. At this point I thought my phone got bricked! and I had to repeat step2 again.. Only later did I realise you have to use the optical joystick...
That was a scary 5-10 minutes for me..
hello guys and gals,
i have a little problem. my s2 power button recently broke, and after an unsuccessful attempt on fixing the matter, the company provided me with a simple work around solution which is to software remap the power button to one of the volume buttons.
but here comes the problem, me being careless, upon receiving the phone, i was too anxious and proceed to upgrade to stock jellybean 4.1.2. thus wiping the software remap. so i am stuck with a phone with no power button, unrooted and dont know what to do.
i did ODIN clockwork recovery mod on the phone but since i dont have a power button, i was unable to boot into recovery to install superuser and root the phone. the plan was to root the phone and install one of the roms and ask the developers on how to remap the keys in the rom.
also i am wondering if it is possible to ODIN a custom rom with UVLE1 radio in it so i can unlock it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
but it seems like i have it backwards, in order to install custom rom and i would need to get my device rooted first.
i am stuck in a pickle that i have created for my self. so any ideas and suggestions would help. thanks guys and gals!

Hi
I have been wanting to speed up my HTC One M8 for some time now. Doing so i've heard installing a new OS would help, like for instance LineageOS. Unfortunately the volume buttons on my phone are broken due to me opening up the phone to fix certain parts. Everything else is working to its fullest, however the volume buttons seem to be beyond repair. I've looked at quite a few guides to flash an OS rom onto my phone, however all these seem to require me navigating with the volume buttons through the bootloader. Is it possible to either simulate a press on volume buttons perhaps through ADB, or completely install the new OS with the phone fully opened? If you have any ideas i'm open for suggestions, as the phone is starting to get quite slow, however i would appreciate an in-depth guide, as i've worked very little with ADB and such.
Any help is appreciated

No way to simulate a button press, that I know of. You don't have access to adb while in bootloader, anyway . You do have access to fastboot, but that is rather limited.
Getting the bootloader unlocked and flashing custom recovery TWRP with the phone open, is possible I suppose. Then after that, I guess you can conceivably boot TWRP and flash a ROM without the vol buttons. But I'd be really hesitant to mod the phone without working vol buttons. The requirement to navigate with the vol buttons in bootloader, as well as the button combo to force a reboot (power+vol up) or boot to bootloader (power+ vol down) are pretty crucial.

Hi, I am interested if Is there a way to root Prime G532F without recovery. Preferably solely from PC.
Back button has gone crazy. I am trying to unmap it and replace it with virtual key.
I have twrp on galaxy and it uses touch input and back button works as well.
If i go into recovery with crazy back button, I may break something.
If there is a way to disable the button without root that would be much better.
