[Q] power button broken and usb debugging uncheck - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes the power button is broken now i can't turn on my evo it is not rooted and usb debugging is checked off. how can i make it wake up? i know i can ise adb but debugging mode is unchecked so is there any way to turn it on? i do not have insurance and my contract is close to end up. but is there any way to do it ??

You can call the phone and decline the call. While the screen is on you can make whatever changes need to be made. That's about all I can think of since you're stock.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

But the cellphone is off.

Paper weight time... Or you can let me have it for parts...... no but you can take the case apart to reach the internal part of the power button..

I know with the 3vo you could do adb reboot while powered off. Dont know if it works on the og.

Woah really? Thats kinda cool
You mean while completely powered down right?
Sent from my PG06100

Yes when the 3vo is powered all the way off. It was a really cool feature. I used it when I had a pc img on the sdcard and needed to get into recovery. Unlike the EVO you either flash the pc img or reboot it won't allow you to do anything else.
I have never tried it with the og but it can't hurt to try.

Charge it. When fully charged, unplug the charger and plug it back in and the evo should respond if what they suggested didn't work.

Ok I just checked the adb and it is not like the 3vo it you not connect while off. I also tried your suggestion soap and that is also a not go but I found a way. Remove battery connect charger then put battery in and it boots. Hope this helps some. The next thing I would suggest is that you install a rom that allows you to wake the phone with your volume buttons. Then you should have a working phone. Or if you want to all out you could take it apart and replace the power button but might be more work than it is worth.

Thanks. I used a wire as bridge and it booted. Now i use anylock app. Thanks for your time

are you using stock cable?
Use a blackberry original micro usb data cable.
I had same problem. But using blackberry data cable solved my problem. If your battery is not charged then get it charged from external sources.
Also try flashing odin without battery and without micro sd card
Samsung stock cable is the main cause of soft bricking of epic.

[Q] SGS3 Won't Boot [But Vibrates]

It's weird...whenever I try to do any of those things, the screen will turn on for a moment [the backlight, no logo or anything comes up] and then after about a second immediately turns off....I tried injecting a rooted version of the stock rom with Odin into my phone, but I kept getting strange error messages like TouchWiz isn't working and some other android process isn't working.
[That didn't work, so I decided to try a different method. This is where I ****ed up, because I forgot to go back to stock rom...]
Anyways, after that, I tried to use the SGS3 Toolkit [if you search sgs3 toolkit xda, it'll come up] and I tried to use that to root. I went to "rooting options" and i selected option number 3, the all in one. I got to the point where it mentions your phone must be in USB debugging, and now nothing comes up when I try to start the phone..but it vibrates whenever I hold the power button long enough [as if it was working normally]. I can't get into download mode right now, either...
How do I reverse this and go back to stock? Please help...thank you so much.
EDIT: It's weird...whenever I try to do any of those things, the screen will turn on for a moment [the backlight, no logo or anything comes up] and then after about a second immediately turns off....
I'm basing this answer based on how I understood what you said...
But, if you're already rooted, then hopefully you've made a backup before installing another ROM. If you have a backup, then put into recovery and backup.
I wasn't already rooted, I was trying to root it. I can't get into recovery.

Plug it into the computer and see if anything shows in device manager.
I hate to say though, I think you may be bricked....
Unless anyone else can think of something to try?

Have you plugged into the computer and checked device manager yet? What does it say?
I think if it says something like qhsusb that means its bricked.
I'm hoping someone can verify that though since I'm going by memory.

Well, I sent it back to T-Mobile and said hey it doesn't work. Let's see if they say anything about it. They sent me a new one, though
I'm having exactly the same problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy SII T989 running Open Kang AOKP JB Jelly Bean. After reading this thread, and another related thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679492), my less than scientific observation is that pressing/massaging/jiggling the power button seems to bring the device back to life. At least until it flakes out again. The posts in this thread were a big help. I was going to ditch the ROM, which would have been a shame. Thanks.

Any options for possibly bricked phone?

Rooted Phone won't boot, can't access recovery or download mode.

Hello,
Today my phone randomly turned off by itself, and when I turned it back on, it got to the samsung screen and then went black. After I tried again/pulled the battery, it did the same thing. I can access recovery and download modes, but when I tried to restore my phone, my phone ****s off before the process can commence. Since the phone barely stays on for 5 seconds, I can't get Odin to see my phone. Please help. My phone is rooted, but I never installed a custom ROM. I'm still stock.
Try to pull the battery, then plug in the USB. You should be able to enter download mode without the restart.

Doesn't work. When I plug it in without the battery, the charging light comes on, then turns off, then the mini vibration happens. But I never get a samsung screen. Can't access download mode at all without the battery.
That did happen to me before. I'm trying to remember how I repaired it. When the battery is in, and turned on. Is it rebooting alot or stuck on the Samsung screen?

Hmm. I'm stumped. Sorry. I had the very same issue with my i777. I had the Odin screen on while I fiddled wth the USB connection at the phone until it finally stayed connected long enough to push a recovery to it. Although it doesn't appear you have the same issue. I figured I'd throw it out there. Again. I'm sorry I can't help further.

Not to my knowledge, I can still push it just fine.
There have been more than a few instances where someone would have similar issues where if would shut off after a few seconds. Most times it would reboot itself over and over, but for a few people it would just shut down.
Most of the cases I've seen, it turned out to be something keeping the button in contact causing it to trigger the switch.
Sometimes it was the button itself got jammed, others the button felt ok, maybe a bit loose, but under it it was essentially pushed in. A couple have apparently just had a bad switch or a short.
May or may not be the case here, but thought I'd go ahead and mention it.

Some people simply opened up the phone and reseated the button. Others had to buy a new button and replace themselves. Some sent it in to a repair shop to have it done for them and a couple who suspected it was an issue with a switch or a short on the board I don't think were ever able to fix it.
One guy got mad at his and slammed it on the table. After that he said it worked fine! I do NOT recommend this!!! But I have fixed stereos, VCR's, CD players, and all sorts of electronic equipment with this method! I would never attempt it with this fragile screen though!
What I recommend is that you go to a phone service centre that does JTAG, that way they can diagnose and repair the motherboard

I was under the impression that Sudden Death couldn't happen to US variants and they they had fixed it in the updates, guess I was wrong. Gonna have my friend look at it, if he can't fix it i'll send it to T-Mobile.
when you try to access dl mode you get the option to continue or reboot, choose reboot and long press home and volume up, this will cause recovery to boot up (I sometimes have trouble getting it to boot with my problem without this method) then flash your rom again or flash a firmware package. this will at least get you into your rom for the time being. Then you can work from there.
