Need to return to stock w/out functioning power button

OK here's the quick version of what happened.
Last night, before leaving work, I was playing a game (dice w/buddies) and when I was finished I put the phone to sleep. Picked it up after my 45 min drive home and the screen wouldn't turn on at all. Pulled the battery and as soon as I put it back in the phone vibrated and started the boot process. I didn't even hit the power button. I let it do it's thing and just watched. The screen was all kinds of jacked!! Vertical banding and discoloration to say the least. Well it took about 10 min to boot but when it did the touchscreen was unresponsive. After about 10 min of batt pulls to reboot and check the screen, I called VZW for a replacement.. (They overnighted one and it will be here this morning) So after that call, I just put the phone down and fed my daughter and did a few things around the house. Went back about 2 hrs later and pulled the battery and rebooted the phone to find that the screen now works! BUT the power button does not. It won't wake the phone up,put it to sleep, nothing. It's dead. So I thought I would unroot/relock and take it back to stock so I can send it back. Here is the problem with that; with the power button broken, fastboot won't recognize the phone. I can get into the bootloader via rom toolbox lite (JRummy app) and that works fine. But whether I try it thru adb or WugFresh's toolkit, as soon as the phone hits "Checking fastboot status", it fails. When you go to the device manager in Win7 and try to update the drivers, it fails. It comes up as something like INTF7 or something like that.
So how can I return to stock without a working power button? Even if I was to get it back to stock somehow, I can't relock it as I would have to hit the power button to accept the warning. Is there any other way?

I heard there was some issues with adb on 4.2. You might want to try updating your adb on your comp and then retry fastboot. There was a post on here about what steps to take to troubleshoot adb.

SDK was updated last night to the newest version. I don't think it's an adb/sdk issue. They are not connecting (I think) because the power botton is broken and the phone turns on as soon as the battery is put in. It's almost like it thinks the power button is being held in.
Once you get it to reboot into fastboot mode, it doesn't do anything. None of the buttons work then. Volume or power. And all adb says is "waiting for device."

ADB doesn't work in the bootloader (fastboot mode). It will work in a custom recovery, or once boot into Android though.
When in the bootloader the only commands that will work will be fastboot commands, and they should be all you need to get back to stock and lock your bootloader up.

The fastboot commands don't work. Once you get into bootloader mode, nothing works. The volume keys,power key, nothing. When you type in a fastboot command it sits at "waiting for device" and never does anything. If you look in device manager (Win7) is shows a strange INFT2 (or something like that) driver that needs to be installed. I have searched for hours and found nothing on that. Even the toolkits stall at fastboot commands.

This sounds like a driver issue with your PC. I recommend that you start fresh. Uninstalling the current drivers, and installing new ones. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875 <-- I recommend the Naked Driver. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29044502&postcount=735 <-- guide there on how to install them.
If you used fastboot on this PC successfully in the past, you could also just do some tinkering to figure out why, but this may take more work to diagnose than actually just nuking the current setup and setting up new ones.

I already tried to mess with the drivers. They won't update while in fastboot mode. It comes up as INTF7 (or whatever it was) and they cannot be found. As long as I can lock the bootloader I will send it back rooted and maybe even on a close-to-stock rom. That's probably the best I can do.

You can get back to stock as long as you are at least rooted. You can do this, which will allow you to do it all as long as the device can boot into Android.

[Q] Can my N7(2013) still be saved?

Hi, my N7 is bricked and I wanted to fix it.
I tried to flash ROM but couldn't do it since my computer wont recognize my N7 (except in Recovery Mode-> Sideload).
I think it has something to do with the "developer options -> need to check USB Debugging", however, I can't do that since my phone when turned on, Google Logo appears, then afterwards, BLACK SCREEN (and now in a loop, but there is no X logo just plain black).
My phone is rooted & unlocked. Out of curiousity (My fault), I bricked my N7.
I've read a lot of article on how to unbrick my N7 and I think I now know how to do it- through Android SDK/ADB Tool. I've also read the a guide on how to change drivers (and tried it in all possible ways I can think of), and it did install the driver. However searching my N7 through ADB Tool doesn't go through.
adb devices
List of devices attached
(**nothing follows**)
But if I turn my N7 to Recovery Mode->apply update from adb:
will show the result:
adb devices
List of devices attached
**serial number** sideload
I don't know what other ways in order to unbrick my N7.
I hope you can help me with it.

You can enter bootloader, right? Then try to use fastboot to flash a new rom.

Use wugs program but tick tablet is in bootloop.

Can you boot a brick in to recovery mode? No...so you aren't bricked...

Thanks for the info man!

I tried, but N7 isn't recognized by PC. So the main problem is really how to make my N7 recognized by PC (ADB/bootloader).
But problem fixed now. Thanks!

Before I fixed my N7, this is what I tried. But the problem is, PC wont recognize/find my N7 when I do:
adb devices nor fastboot devices

Bricked my phone

Hello guys, I'm a newbie on pretty much anything dev related when it comes to phones. And I guess this time I screwed things up. My phone was rooted and it was working perfectly, but when I tried to enter SuperUser app it said I needed to root manually again, probably because it updated to android 5.0. So I tried to one click root and it didn't work. So as dumb as I am I started messing around with things and I ended up with my phone completely broke. I can't even get into recovery mode or anything. My phone is just stuck on logo screen and then it dies. I tried like a thousand times to enter recovery by pressing power and volume up, but that's just doesn't work anymore. And fastboot can't reconize my phone anymore, so I can't even try to boot a recovery or something. I guess I fuc*** everything now. But I don't know. Is there still hope guys?

if you can go to fast boot means your pc must recognize it. install asus usb driver and intel android usb driver. then flash firmware with AFT or with commands

unbrick oneplus 5t, stuck in waiting for device in msmDownloadTool

Hi Guys,
Yesterday during an official update of my oneplus 5t (using the update manager from the phone itself), the phone got bricked and i dont know why....
So after some research i found it is hard bricked ( basically i cant do nothing, power on i cant, power +volume UP/DOWN too, and even when i plug the charge cable i have neither vibrations nor LED on)
So i follow this tutorial to unbrick the phone:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012
I could get the phone recognize by the PC by pressing UP to see the phone as QUSB-BULK and then QUALCOMM QD LOADER after driver's update.
But when i run MSMDownloadTool ( V4.0.27 dumpling 43_0.36_180613) as administrator and click on start, the process get stuck in "waiting for device"
the status of connection before click on start was "connected" and after click and some process it turn to N/A
the status of communication is "memory size....."
status of last communication is "waiting for device"
I have tried several time and always the same result..... stuck in the waiting device
does someone have an idea on how to solve this? because i really need to unbrick the phone....
thank you in advance
EDIT:
I tried another version of MsmDownloadTool (dumpling_43_O.06_171206) and this time, the downloading of cache image failed....
I dont know what to do

You were in a custom rom or kernel when you tried to update from the official channel?
Your phone was rooted? Magisk installed?
Battery percentage?

Thing are much easier with the unlocked bootloaders!
Charge your phone all night long even if you don't see any sign of life (green or red led light).
Then hold together the Volume UP button and the power button for few seconds into the fastboot mode (hold both buttons for at least 10 seconds) and let me know.

I tried this before and nothing happened....
then when i connect to the pc by pressing UP+ power button, the pc detected it as QUSB_BULK then i install the qualcomm driver and finally i could see the phone in the usb device.
But after MSMDownloadTool step, the process got stuck and display "memory size" as explained in the thread.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm hoping you have an idea. I have bricked my rooted OnePlus6. I did have Magisk installed. Bootloader was unlocked. I was able to factory reset the phone, but the bootloader was still locked (I had TWRP installed and factory reset using it). I then used Fastboot to relock the bootloader, and that's when my troubles started. I could only get into Fastboot. I found a solution on the web, installed the Qualcomm drivers (and they recognize my device, which I connected by holding down the volume up button before connecting to the USB cable), and started the OnePlus 6 (MSM) unbrick tool. However, it just sits there saying "waiting for device". I actually seem to have two entries for the device, one saying Index and one saying "1" (although I think the device is on COM3). Should it take forever? How can I get it past "Waiting for device". Thanks.

I contacted OnePlus and I sent them the phone and they reinstalled the operating system. I was never able to fix it myself. I even had an online session with OnePlus and they couldn't get the MSM software to recognize the phone (even though it was truly connected to my laptop). I also had an issue with my OnePlus 8T that got messed up doing something with Magisk, and OnePlus reinstalled the operating system as well. I still can't boot from the A partition though; just the B partition.

Okay, for anyone facing same problem as me, i found solution (working for me). Before using MSM Tool, you need to install Qualcomm USB Drivers.
During instalation you need to choose second option "ETHERNET-DHCP"!
At first, I chose WWAN-DHCP - which caused problem with connection

Question Can't do anything with a device, looking for a help!

So I've got into a big trouble... I wanted to manually update my Pixel 6 Pro to the latest version using an official OTA (since the update wasn't available yet for my country and I wanted to stay up-to-date). It was all fine until it said 74 % done... and the power in my house has completely turned off... The device hasn't given me any error and rebooted, hower it got stuck on a Google logo. I rebooted to the recovery mode how it was suggested and did a clean factory reset, then rebooted again... and nothing changed, only the logo background has changed (white vs black). The BIGGEST problem is, the device OEM is NOT unlocked I tried entering the fastboot mode and flashing the device with a recovery image but it obviously didn't work as it required OEM to be unlocked... I am in a big depression now, somehow I fear that it's not fixable... But if some awesome soul could suggest a way to try out, that would be great! Thanks in advance.

I would try the android flash tool and flash the whole full ROM onto the phone. Expect to lose your data though.

Doesn't your phone have to be unlocked to use the flash tool?

The data is all backed up so it's not a problem to lose it. The problem is actually making the phone to boot past the logo... I will try that Android Flash Tool but I fear that the phone should be unlocked first

Try this tool: https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection
Not sure if its any different to the android flash tool.

As expected, Android Flash Tool requires you to to have the device unlocked. At this point I am out of ideas and is truly disappointed. The tool mentioned above probably works the same way.

Maybe try sideloading OTA again. Are you able to do that?

Oh crap, didn't think about that.

I know not everyone has access to a laptop but if you do always use that over a desktop. In the event of something like this you will have the battery power to carry you through.
I'm sorry this happened to you. The only option may be to send it to Google for repairs.

Sorry for your phone. I experienced this on a nexus 6 that didn't have USB debugging or OEM unlock enabled. I tried sideload, put the update package on the phone storage, try to update with Android recovery. Nothing worked. Stuff happens with phones. I hope you can get a new phone.
God bless.

Sorry to hear this. It seems that I need to open USB debugging option just in case for my Pixel 6, which finally arrived across the ocean after a month.

Since the Repairtool has not been updated for your needs and considering that your device is not unlocked, your only option is to contact Google (/your seller). Maybe they can offer you an updated version of the tool (unlikely) or replace your device.
You just described, btw, my horror scenario when updating the BIOS of my PC. The lights going out, when doing a firmware update o.o
Oh my. I'm so sorry for you to have experienced that.

Ok, so I did a CMOS reset on my main PC, since it also failed to load after the lost power accident. Loaded my PC then just fine and tried connecting the phone again. Got to recovery mode and tried "adb devices" command... and it listed my Pixel device !! I tried the "adb sideload" command but it's stuck at 5% for at least 20-30 mins. The phone's last message is "Verifying update package". Not sure if it's a good sign, but afaik if USB debugging is off etc, you can not use adb commands. What would you guys suggest, try waiting for another 30 mins or unplug the phone, restart PC and try again? I am using USB-A to USB-C cable btw, maybe I could use USB-C to USB-C.

My apologies for asking the obvious - did you select "adb sideload" in the recovery menu ? At least I was blind enough to oversee that I need to select this option first
Can you boot into fastboot from the recovery ? If yes you could also try installing a factory image instead of the update package.... I read you cannot because your device is locked, but you can unlock in fastboot (you can always relock later).... only downside is that this will clear all data on the phone for sure....

I had a similar issue with applying ota updates and have seen quite a few reports of users having trouble. Not sure what the deal is, but for some reason this phone seems super finicky with updates. Are you still in the return window? You may want to reach out to Google support or one of their "authorized repair shops".
For me, I ran the flash all bat, rebooted, got a message saying my device can't be trusted. So I rebooted, wiped data, rebooted again and got the same thing. So I rebooted, ran the flash all bat file again, rebooted phone, and screen went black and it never powered on again. Suspect circuit board may have fried some how. Anyways, long story short, contacted Google and had a replacement sent out with minimal hassle.

What would you guys suggest, try waiting for another 30 mins or unplug the phone, restart PC and try again? I am using USB-A to USB-C cable btw, maybe I could use USB-C to USB-C.

so you can get through this... you'll be fine. pick adb sideload and it will say waiting, then run the command.
you can also change slots at the bootloader menu or try running the unlock oem command to see if it will allow you to unlock..... not sure if you can change slots without unlocking bootloader. try different USB ports on your computer (and restart your computer just in case) along with using the latest platform tools (adb/fastboot) and USB driver directly from Google (not third party apps or websites.
download the OTA zip again (and just open and close it quickly to verify it isn't corrupt).. and also make sure you have 5-10GB of space free on your computer.
usually the boot slot is changed whenever an OTA is flashed. it will tell you what slot you're in at the bootloader menu (where it says fastboot and device state locked).
can you try holding power button (when it's not plugged in) and as soon as you see then Google logo, hold volume down. that will get you to safe mode. and as quickly as you can, enable "OEM Unlocking" - which will allow you to flash a full factory image.
sorry for this comment being all over the place. if you need help, just reply, and I'll be more methodical next time

I read you cannot because your device is locked, but you can unlock in fastboot (you can always relock later).... only downside is that this will clear all data on the phone for sure....

I don't think the problem is that his bootloader is locked - it's unlocked, however, they factory reset the device which likely caused USB Debugging to be turned off, as it defaults to after a factory reset.
I'm so glad years ago I swore to use Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) for all the PCs I build for myself or my wife.
