Hey guys, sorry for a new post. I did a search and wasn't totally sure about what i found so i figured i'd start a new post and get some help.
I bought a nexus off a guy for cheap but it was stuck at the fast boot (?) screen
image
the trackball doesnt work so i cant select anything. the only thing i can do is pull the battery out to shut it down. what can i do to fix this phone? I have no idea what to do to an android. I switched yesterday from wm6.5 so you're going to have to explain everything.
thank you!
You search the forums. That's what you do.
Trackball might be effed up. Replace that
That phone is unlocked
You get to that screen by holding down the trackball when you press power. (Like the above poster said)
Make sure the volume buttons or the trackball are not stuck in a pressed state.
I thought to navigate that screen you use the volume button and power button to select. Trackball doesn't work in that menu

thanks for the helpful comments guys. :]
i meant to also add that none of the buttons work either, volume or power button. i tried to flash amonra's recovery thru cmd prompt but i couldnt do much after that. i couldnt get into the adb prompt. it says the device isnt found, although fastboot promt found the device fine. anyway so after i flash the amonra recovery img i can't get into recovery mode. holding the power and vol down button gets me to the hboot (i believe it is?) but again, i cant navigate the menu with any buttons to put it into recovery mode so i'm pretty much stuck here.
and just to clarify, I have done a few searches as i've said and I didnt feel sure enough that the problems mentioned were my problem so that is why I'm asking for help here.
You should not go to any forum and feel bad for posting or have to say over and over that you did a search. There are many people that can do better and some will show up, hopefully with answers that are not painful to someone who has purchased a new phone... cheap. I would flash amon ra which you can do adb without using any of the phone hardware buttons and then see where you are at. There are many posts on installing amon ra and the instructions are also in the offical thread. With any luck you just have a hosed recovery and the flash will get you rolling.
Can you not navigate the fastboot/hboot screen with the volume buttons? If not then you're gonna run into serious problems. Make sure both the volume buttons and trackball are clear. You can clean the trackball by pressing it in with a piece of cloth and pushing it in different directions while pressed in, this should clear most of the junk on it.
You can also clean the volume buttons and power button a little better by removing the battery cover. Good luck bud.
trackball+power -> fastboot mode.
volume+power -> recovery mode. if you see androids on skates you have the stock recovery.
trackball+volume+power held = reboot
Recovery, boot etc can be flashed from fastboot only.
just to clarify, the first thing that pops up when i press just the power button is the fastboot. i dont have to press anything else, just power.
i flashed amonra recovery img while i was on fastboot mode from my computer (cmd i used was fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img) and it was successful.
Then i tried to put it into recovery mode w the command adb shell reboot recovery. It said that the device wasn't connected.
when i input the cmd fastboot devices i see my device connected, but when i input adb devices it says its not connected.
So i figured I'd put it into recovery mode on my phone by pressing volume+power. I get to the hboot screen with the three androids on skateboards (i realize the screen looks the same as fastboot but the selectable options here are different) but the volume buttons, trackball, power buttons don't work so i can't select "recovery" on the phone.
so this is where i'm stuck
It sounds like you have a stuck or f..d up trackball.

I have the same problem has anyone figured out a solution?

You cannot use ADB commands when you are in the bootloader (i.e., fastboot) screen. You need to be booted into the ROM or into the recovery for those commands to work.
What I find difficult to understand is how come your volume buttons work to boot into the bootloader, but don't work once you are there?
Try flashing each partition from a stock FRG33 ROM (from here). Unzip the files, and flash the boot, system and data images using fastboot (e.g., fastboot flash system system.img) and then try to reboot normally.
So, my volume up key stoped working from one day to the next. Didn't slam the phone on the floor or anything, it just stoped working. I already tried it on recovery mode, no luck so i'm asuming it's not software related.
Anyone faced this issue at some point? I did the eb40 battery mod a month ago, didn't notice anything unusual since then.
Thanks guys for any help.
Anyone?
I'm worried i might need to enter recovery or bootloader using keys instead of software reboot at some point, and won't be able to since my keys don't work.
I mean you could open the phone and check the connection for the button and the contacts. Does it feel loose? Maybe the button is upside down ( which shouldn't matter but you never know). Get back to us!

Wait what? I have the same problem (volume up key is broken) and I'm constantly paranoid about bootloops since fastboot reboot recovery doesn't work. I have Philz recovery as well. Is there some feature I'm not aware of?

The touch recovery does not require the use of volume or power button. Same with Touch CWM.

Oh. Well of course you don't need the volume key to navigate the menu in a touch recovery. That's not the problem. The problem is getting *into* recovery without the volume up key. The only way to do so is if you have a functioning ROM, so if you're in a bootloop, you have to FXZ back to stock from fastboot, reroot, and install a reboot to recovery app. Then commence doing whatever it was you needed to do in recovery (assuming flashing a custom rom again and hope you don't get a bootloop)

I understand now. Yes, it's tough to access fastboot or recovery mode without volume keys working.
Not at all there are ways to get around this. Install xposed framework with an advance power option and install it. Or go to play store and look for an app name i believe quick reboot

Indeed. I've wasted several development hours just getting back to a workable system when I end up with a bootloop. Makes testing very frustrating.Volume down key still works (it seems people only ever have problems with the volume up button) so can still get into fastboot. It would all be good if the "fastboot reboot recovery" command worked on this phone, but it's blocked.
EDIT: @Technofreak, once again that won't work if you're in a bootloop.

Yes, and fastboot only works while in download mode, which you can't access while on a bootloop.
mmm... is there any way to make the device boot into download mode by default? That would be maximum safety.
Btw, did your vol up key broke by itself? did you do the battery mod? Thanks for your input.

You mean download mode as in the menu where you can choose recovery or fastboot? You can't get to that without the volume up button at all. You should be able to still enter fastboot, even from a bootloop. Just hold down the power and vol down button until it vibrates, then let go. Then hit power button once more, and you should be in download mode. But that still won't get you into recovery, so you still have to FXZ back to stock from there and redo everything. There IS a way (sort of) to get it to boot to fastboot every time. Just flash an FXZ and unplug it while it's flashing system.img. Then manually flash a system.img. That should trigger the sticky bits deal where it boots into fastboot every time... but I really don't know what that will accomplish, because every time you reboot your phone you'll have to plug it into a computer and use "fastboot reboot." There isn't a reboot to recovery command in fastboot, and there is no option within fastboot itself to reboot, so you'd have to plug it into the computer and use fastboot reboot.
I wish there was a software option to always ALWAYS boot into recovery from a cold boot. That way you could always get back to recovery no matter what. FXZ is surely a last resort, but you can always restore a backup from recovery.
Yes, I have an EB40 battery mod. But the volume button didn't stop working until a couple of months after doing that. It was seemingly random. Just stopped working one day. I can't way whether it's related or not.

Mine did the same, broke down randomly after the EB40 mod. Can't check the frickin button since the black t5 screws got worn out (****ty quality).
What about fastboot update? isn't that suposed to flash zip files, as in cm zips?
EDIT: Been trying the vol down + power for a while, it behaves as normal power button, can't get to bootloader.

I have never been able to get fastboot update to work. I believe it is restricted on this phone just like fastboot reboot recovery is. Don't quote me on that as I've never seen anyone outright say that is the case, it just has never worked for me.
If it makes you feel better,don't bother trying to get the scews out. I have taken mine all the way down to the motherboard to see if there was anything obviously wrong with the volume button. Mine seems to have nothing physically wrong with it. The button (the bare button on the mobo, not the plastic piece) pushes well and even gives a nice tactile click when you push it down with the tip of a screwdriver or soemthing pointy. Hell, I've even booted it up with the case off, bare motherboard, while holding down the button with said screwdriver and it still won't work. It's got to be something like a trace burned or cracked on the motherboard, but with all the componants and shields around it I can't tell. It looks normal, and no different than the volume down button.
That sucks that you can't use the vol down and power button to get to fastboot. I just tried it myself to make sure I said it right and it worked fine. Maybe your volume down button doesnt work either??? You have to be very VERY careful if you cant get into fastboot. Don't get into a bootloop, because I don't know if there is any other way to recover at all. The only way I would know would be to short the circuit on the mobo to force the mobo to recognize a volume button press, and nobody wants to mess with that crap. Don't do any mods that are too exotic lol.
Vol down key is ok. Do you press both buttons while phone is off? For how long? This is weird.

Well, I believe the correct way to do it is to hold all three buttons down at one time, but for me just holding down the power and volume down button works. If the phone is on, just hold those two buttons down until it vibrates a couple times. At that point let go of the power button. Then press the power button again, and it should boot into fastboot mode.
If the phone is off, I would assume just hold down the power button and volume down buttons. Then let go of the power button while still holding down the volume button and it should boot to fastboot mode.

Good good. That will at least allow you to FXZ if all else fails. Just don't flash anything unless you have the time to FXZ back and do the whole process over, because in the event of a bootloop, AFAIK that is your only choice.
But we can always go to the recovery mode using the command prompt.
Connect the mobile to computer and use adb fastboot commands.

Once again, fastboot reboot recovery does not work on the Atrix HD. Let me qualify that, because there may be some people that it does work for, but the majority of us, the command is locked. In most cases, that is an invalid point, because we cannot get to recovery using fastboot.
Hello, I've recently just got this phone off someone to fix for them. It's in the constant bootloop. I can get into the bootloader, which is locked and has S-ON. However, if I try to navigate down it restarts as soon as it highlights recovery. If I navigate up, it will open up the show barcode, and exit out of it and sometimes highlight the image crc and attempt to display it. It restarts however very soon after. This phone has not been rooted or has been flashed at all.
Stuck of ideas at the minute on what to do to fix this guys phone, I don't believe he has warrenty on it either .
Any help would much be appreciated! Want to try and get this fixed.

That's the first option i'm able to get to at the top, I press the power button to select it however it just resets the phone. I presume this isn't suppose to happen and the fastboot hasn't work?
Wait, sorry. If I press Vol Up, then Vol down again, it auto selects it. However, I can't select the options in the new menu.
Sorry again, it also doesn't seem to have a fastbootUSB mode? Unless it does that when it restarts?

Bugger. I'll mess with it a bit more in hopes of reviving it. Cheers for the help though
If "fastboot" turns to "fastbootUSB" you will probably be OK. Try entering RUU mode from fastboot with the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" If you get this far you will just need to apply a full RUU image, which will reinstall everything, including the boot loader itself.

I can't seem to get to that, the phone restarts itself pretty much around 5-7 seconds being in the bootloader itself.
The only other reason i can imagine this happening is maybe because the battery is knackered.

unfortunately, i have no idea how to fix the button, but if your phone is behaving as if it's being continually pressed that would explain the reboots.
to verify, just enter bootloader, don't do anything (but be in a well lit environment), if it reboots again and again, then the power button is stuck.

Yep, I'll see about trying to fix the power button then. Here's hoping!
Also, sorry. I should've added in the op that it only turns on when it's plugged into something. If i unplugged it while it's on the htc screen or bootloader, it will stay on till it does the usual reset then stay off.
If the power button is clicking I doubt it is stuck.

When the Device restarts while you're on the HTC Boot Screen, do the LED Buttons down at the bottom flash up a couple of times prior to the reset? If so, that would be conclusive with the stuck Power Button as that is (afaik) the normal behavior for a reset by pressing and holding Power.

This is correct. A hard power down will flash the home and back keys before turning off.

I've seemed to have someone fixed the phone now, it's getting into Android (after much stress trying to get it into it!). It does seem like it's the power button that is sticky, as it's locking the screen and constantly waking it up and bringing the power button menu up. Needless to say, i'm overjoyed that it's working. Now I need to find out how to fix the power button in it.

That might actually not be quite the easiest task. If anything else fails, why not try bringing it as close to stock und untempered as you can go and hand it in for a warranty repair. With a little bit of luck they will not check the software as it is obviously a hardware button defect.
I just got an M8 from someone on craigslist and I'm trying to unlock bootloader, s-off, etc to Unlock the phone.
The charging port was messed up so I replaced it to be able to charge and use the phone.
Only problem is the VOL UP button doesn't work & the VOL DOWN button works, but isn't as responsive as it should be (have to push harder than usual)
I try to boot into Bootloader with PWR & VOL DOWN, but it just boots normal. I can't seem to get it into the bootloader menu.
Any way I can force it to go into it with an app maybe? or a different method?
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
While booted to rom you could try this...
Open a cmd window from you folder that has adb/fastboot files in it and type
adb reboot bootloader
Or if you can get to recovery there is an option to reboot bootloader
Or there is an app called Quick Boot in the Playstore

Well, now I can't unlock the bootloader as it won't read me pressing the PWR button on yes...
Looks like I won't get help since people.Will open.this for the issue in the thread title, but I now have a different issue and can't open a separate thread for that problem since it's apparently a duplicate thread when it's a different problem. Looks like I'll wait a week for someone to hopefully read this instead of a day or two since my new problem is something people have faced before, so someone have to have a solution for it. Guess I have to go even longer without unusable phone with service.thanks xda. Thanks.
*SOLVED* Necro bump
I have the same phone, with the same issue, so I'm replying to this ancient thread with my solution.
All my buttons work in all situations... except in fastboot. The VOL-UP key wouldn't work there and only there. Not a problem since VOL-DOWN will wrap around to the top. The problem came when I needed to unlock my bootloader again after relocking it (for unrelated reasons).
In the Unlock Bootloader confirmation screen, I could select Yes to continue, but the PWR button would not do anything
After reading another thread about how fastboot is unable to manage multiple button presses at once, it occurred to me that the VOL-UP key was somehow blocking the PWR button from firing. So, I removed the back from phone (a non-trivial procedure) and physically disconnected the volume buttons by pulling the ribbon cable second from the top on the left, pressed PWR, and viola! :victory::victory::victory: Bootloader began Unlocking. :victory::victory::victory: Hope that helps.
tl;dr; After selecting "yes" in the menu, physically disconnecting the volume button ribbon inside the phone re-enables the PWR key.

Oh my god, what was the probability of us having exactly the same problem 3 weeks apart on a 5 year old phone?!
My phone enter in bootloader for no reason, then the power button was ineffective so I could not select any action... And all of this was because of my broken volume button!
Your message save me a lot of headache, thanks a lot! :victory:
Yeah.... so my volume down button is broken and i decided to flash something that didnt boot.
Ideas? Is there any other way to get into fastboot besides the volume down + power?

what exactly do you mean by volume down broken, as in literally broken??
Do you have sdk on your computer, if you don't put it on your computer and I will tell you how to use ADB commands to reboot and do a miriad of other things. go toward the bottom of the page and look for "SDK Tools Only" and download the package for your computer. Sending you a PM so you can get a hold of me on hangouts
If you don't want to do that (and you really should) titanium backup has a reboot to recovery feature on it, open menu and it's in there
