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.

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 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 Guys
I am writing here because I fighting with little problem (or maybe not so little if I write here) but back to case.
I got this phone GT-i8160. With stocked rom, and path for 648 ram, but i can't find a way to root it. I know for now that just look like veryyy dump question, but my main problem is that Power button don't work, so a lot of menus to boot is just unusable for me because they need boot option. I am looking for now a way to make this phone root by Odin or somethink like that. I try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881964, but still unluck. If anyone have any ideas how to root without power button please give me a sign, and btw What rom is the fastest for that phone ? Stocked one ?

You can't use the power button at all? or is it temperamental?
The stock ROM is actually decent for most people but the only drawback is the partition style as you'll need a custom ROM to run a different partition layout as the Stock ROM needs the layout that it has.
I've never seen any way to root i8160 via Odin in the past 2 years, as we've already got a flashable zip method that doesn't trip the flash counter, and a custom recovery flashable zip that even works in the stock recovery!
I can maybe help if you can sideload zip files to recovery.
Power button is broken, not signal, not sign, not anything, Dead.
I would like to try your ideas, but I don't know anything about this "sideload". Could you describe this method little more ?
Download mode

Can you get into download or recovery mode by doing this:
1) Power off and remove phone and the back cover
2) Remove the battery
3) Hold down volume down (for download mode) or volume up (for recovery) and the home button
4) Re-insert the battery
5) Plug in a charger cable
This should work as plugging in the charger mimics the power button for key combinations while off.
If any of these work, select the 'reboot' or 'restart option'
If they don't then you may need to buy a new phone!
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.

I left my phone overnight with a low battery and not charged. The next morning, my home button stopped working. Just my home button and my fingerprint, my back and recent buttons were working fine.
I have been using on-screen buttons since. I have a stock ROM running OxygenOS 9.0.6. I am also not rooted. Thanks to anyone who helps.
you can either backup everything and download an unbrick tool and run it or you can just stick to onscreen nav buttons which i always use because the hardware buttons are overated
I do not have a unlocked bootloader or a custom recovery. And I don't want to reset my phone. Just wanted to know if there was a way to fix this without any modifications. I use my Google pay so I can't root or do anything like that.
well unless you reset your phone there is no other way unless you buy another phone
Ok thanks for all of your help ?
