Fastboot - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am 99.99999% sure i know the answer to this question, but i figure ill ask anyways....
Is there a way to get into fastboot without the power button?
Recently my power button crapped out on me. I got a new replacement phone, but i wanted to pull files off my old phone...
any help would be appreciated, thanks!
EDIT:
Again, 99.99% sure i know this answer too... but is there a way to sent a power up signal via USB when the phone is off?

does your phone turn on?
if so and you have adb setup, you can use: adb reboot bootloader

Nope, doesnt turn on... When im plugged in via USB either to a computer or a power outlet, i get the battery charging icon, but thats it...
before it broke, the power button was working spotty... then the next morning it was not working at all

I have no idea if this works but worth a shot...
cohrs said:
take the battery out and plug into usb (connected to computer). put the battery back in and when you see the battery charging on the screen remove the battery again. On mine the battery image starts flickering. at that point i put the battery back in and it rebooted.
This has worked for me a few times. Once rebooted you will be able to see your device using adb and then fastboot.
i got the idea from this post but found the timing i used worked better than his random attempts while holding the x key on the nexus one.

If you're really desperate for the data, you could always open the phone up and manually trigger the button as someone above has posted. There probably is another way via hardware tools e.g. JTAG or something OMAP/flash related but I'm not aware of anything specific.

can someone do these little tests for me

take out your battery and connect the s620 via usb and turn the phone on. does it turn on?
with the battery still disconnected, and plugged into usb, press the camera button to the right of space button. does this turn on? does it turn the phone on or is it the bootloader screen?
thanks
i dont have a battery for my phone (waiting for it in the post) im trying to work out if the thing works because the screen is smashed.
Does nothing as all it does when charging is pump juice to the battery
thats weird then
mine turns on when i press the camera button. i even flashed a rom. but it turns off after the rom flash and wont boot.
can you just try it real quick. and verify its the bootloader?

Funny never tryed to get into bootloader before without battery wonder if it re-routes the electric or if uses the back up?
yeah its weird, you'd think it'd power bootloader i'd draw enough current to power the phone too.
weird.
oh well. cheers anyway
I know from testing with Android that the Excalibur can run happily without a battery. I.e. you can rip the battery out and it keeps working fine! It's all software that stops this from working with Windows mobile

Desire HD wont turn on?

Hey guys,
Was just looking through the market and saw an animations app, so i downloaded it, installed as normal, accepted the superuser request and chose what animation i wanted, (I chose blur if it makes any difference). It then requested a reboot, so i rebooted, but now nothing happens to my phone, It is just like the phone is powered off, nothing comes up on the screen. Ive tried booting normally and booting into recovery but nothing
Any ideas?
I'm using Leedroid ROM and Kernel, both on the latest versions.
Thanks in advance.

Take your battery out for five minutes, put it back and connect charger. Do not touch the power button.

Take the battery out again, put it back and then hold volume down & power button. You can also connect the charger to be sure that this is not caused by low battery level. If it still stays off, you should send it to HTC.

Yep still nothing happens, send it to HTC even though it is rooted?
You have no other choice. Software mods do not void warranty, so it should be ok.

I'm having the same problem now... wilky let me know if you get it working or if HTC gets it fixed without a hassle, because mines rooted .
Hi
I have the same problem. When I put the Battery and plug in the chagher the red led start to flash.
After 1 minute stops.
If someone can help us we will be very happy!!!!!!
10x
Got the same problem after starting to format my sdcard with cwm. Just nothing happens anymore, but when i connect my dhd to my computer its indicated as device "qhsusb_dload", but i cant access it with adb or anything. Tried to foce install htc-drivers, but didnt help. Gonna take it to a local o2 store and check if there can be anything done bout it.
when i drained my battery fully to the point that it turns itself off, when i plugged it in it sort of looped into boot, but after i remove the charger and plugged it again, the red light turned on and i just left if for ten minutes, then pressed the power button then i turned on as normal.
i'm thinking it might be because the battery is just too drained at one point.

I have same problem.
Its just happened NOW. What the hell ? What we can do to fix this ?
Guys
I had the same problem.
I charged aways the phone by the USB on my PC.
But this is a problem.
Try to charge for an Hour or two your usb original charger your phone.
My problem was that the battery was so empty that the PC USB coudn't had the power to charge it. The Original Charger CAN.
So dont wait more and put it and Charge.
Tell me if this was the resolution.
Bye bye

phone is not doing anything

soo umm i just flashed CWM touch 6.0.1.0 and restarted my phone and for some reason my phone wont turn on... i plug it in the charger and it does nothing at all. also plugged into USB on my computer and the drivers kept popping up to install but keep failing but the phone wont do anything at all.
also tried going into download mode and fastboot mode and nothing
This should have been asked in Q&A, but I'm going to ask the obligatory questions and hope a mod moves this thread to Q&A.
What version phone do you have (maguro(yakju**/takju**), toro, toroplus?
Did you install the correct ClockworkMod recovery for your phone?
Will it not turn on at all?
If it does turn on, does it hang at the Google screen, or do you not even feel the vibration confirming the phone is on?
Was your battery charged before attempting to install the recovery?
Can you get into fastboot mode by holding both volume buttons and the power button?

i have a CDMA verizon Toro and i'm pretty sure i have the right one i downloaded it a couple days ago and have not had time to flash it until today. on the rar file it just says cwm6010TOCUHinstall and i am pretty sure it was for verizon.
it wont turn on at all like no battery symbol or google symbol. screen wont even turn on. i tried plugging it into the computer with battery in and out holding vol down and power and nothing happens but windows keeps beeping to installing a driver over and over again until i unplug the phone. i cant get into any modes also no vibration at all
**EDIT***
i think i know why it bricked i think i flashed a Nexus 7 CWM..... how stupid of me to do i downloaded through my phone so i must of clicked the wrong link to download

I'm no expert, but can you use a toolkit to manually flash to the galaxy nexus version? I had no problem like this, so I'm not sure if this is even find work...

well the problem is i cant even boot into download mode or anything at all the phone will not even power on at all (no google sign or screen turn on and no vibe)
i was about to flash a new rom but i wanted to hurry and flash CWM touch but when i downloaded it i guess i clicked the wrong link and picked the nexus 7 CWM touch and flashed that
Yank battery, leave it out for a few minutes...maybe even ten. Plug phone into AC (not USB) wall charger. Let sit like that for two to three minutes. Put battery back in phone while phone is still plugged in. Let sit for an hour or so to get a charge on the battery (in case it dumped). Try powering on.
Just saw you think you flashed N7 recovery....ouch. Time to download Wugs kit and see if you can get it back. I'd still try the steps above for the hell of it.

tried what you said already left it charging for 20 mins and even left it with out battery and sim card out of the phone and still nothing i am 100% sure this is a hard bricked but did not know if there was a way to fix a hard brick as i never bricked a phone before (hard brick anyways)
Seriously, stop advertising toolkits already, OP don't need it to fix this problem..
OP, search for omap flash.
Pressed from my Maguro
You said when you plug it into your computer it fails to install a driver?
Plug in your phone and go to device manager and see if you see OMAP as a device listed.

I would try following that guide IF your computer still detects your phone as OMAPxxx

[Q] HTC One X is completely lifeless. Kapoot Dead :( Help Please ?

Okay, so i was just using my HTC one x, (i've only had it for a few days) and the phone screen went blank and the 3 buttons stayed lighted up, i couldn't do anything to the phone, so i held the power down button and it shut down and now the phone is completely idle. it doesn't start on or anything. i tried to charge it and the red light doesn't even come on, i've also tried the volume down & power button combo to access the boot loader but that doesn't seem to work either.
the phone is the 32GB model
on the 02 network
help anyone?

was an odd thing phone was ringing and shut off, had several calls from same number i had rejected and when i called the number from a landline said the number was not active
i do appreciate the help though was seeing if there was something i hadn't thought of trying already
Similar thing happened to the display model at a local Verizon store. They said after hooking it up it shut off and wouldn't power on, all you get is the battery charge logo and the Orange light. Went in planning to buy one...decided to wait a bit...

keep hold the power button for it to shut off in that case thats the carriers fault
