moto x display broken, how to retrieve data? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my moto x 2014 display is broken ....it wont show anything just black screen but the phone still works ..i get messages ...since its on marshmellow
ill have to unlock it and change the usb options from charging only to media storage but display is broken and i cant do that however is there any way i could access the files through pc ..its not rooted but usb debugging is on and also its connected to the wifi ..i tried adb but it wont show any devices because the phone is on charging only mode ...is there anything i can do about this??? any help would be appriciated

Have you tried adb while the phone is at the bootloader? To get to the bootloader, turn off the phone, then press and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time for about 5-7 seconds. Then release the power button, but continue to hold the volume down button for 3 more seconds. You should then be at the bootloader. I am not sure if adb will work then, but it's worth a shot.

Get a factory-style type cable or adapter is my suggestion. You can plug it in, then remove it for instant power off.

If the button is actually broken, and you bootloader has not been unlocked, then you can send it into Motorola.

Please help!

I really didn't know what to put on the title since this is a specific problem.
My Moto X decided to turn off (or so that's what I think) and now it doesn't respond to my volume or power buttons. Power button hasn't been working in a while so I had to use my volume buttons for wake and status bar tap to sleep.
Thing is that I had 70% battery so I plugged in my phone but it recognizes it (lsusb) so it must be on yet the buttons are unresponsive, (so is active display). I can't do any fastboot or adb. what can I do?

In case you haven't tried this yet --
With the phone connected to your USB cable do: sudo adb devices
If you get the phone's device ID back then try [sudo no longer needed at this point] : adb reboot bootloader
If this brings the phone up in bootloader mode then you can try using the buttons to go into Recovery and clear your cache or do a Factory Reset. But if the power button is truly dead -- not just hosed due to a corrupted cache, etc. -- then you may be out of luck for doing anything in Recovery.

N6 power button stopped working, now I can't turn phone on

My power button stopped working a couple days ago but I was still able to wake device with volume buttons. I was worried that if my phone were to shut off I wouldn't be able to turn it back on so I booted into bootloader and was going to try and flash "oem off-mode-charge 0" (which should then make the phone power on when plugged into charger).
At the time I couldn't detect the device using fastboot and as I was searching around on my computer the screen on the phone turned off (was in bootloader at the time). I'm not sure at this point if my phone was on and that both the power and volume buttons were not waking device or if the phone turned itself off.
I have tried the hold the volume down and plug the charger in trick to try and get back into bootloader but nothing happens. When I plug phone into my computer it takes about 20 seconds but I get the little windows ding that something has been connected but phone is still not responsive. I'm starting to think I'm a little screwed here but welcome any input.
You just looking to get the screen to light up so you can implement a way to use the device without the power button? You could try gravity screen or something but first things first...
If its not lighting up on plugin have you tried connecting to a computer and opening ADB and issuing the command adb devices followed with adb reboot. If you wanna go back to bootloader just adb reboot-bootloader. That will restart device so screen is back on and I would turn on the Ambient Display mode so when you pick it up the screen comes on or get a volume power button app or gravity screen app that turns on when you take it out of pocket. Thats all I can suggest and hope any of this helps.
With phone plugged into computer, nothing shows up when I check adb devices or fastboot devices. I guess I'm unsure on what state my phone is in. None of the buttons do anything and nothing happens when I plug my phone into my wall charger (no charge light or screen on). The only response I can get is when I plug the phone into my computer windows makes a noise.
Anyone know what happens when a powered off phone gets plugged into the computer? Does windows make the little noise indicating a device has been plugged in even with it off?
It does not make a noise if its off.. That much I know. Interesting though. Are you sure you have the correct drivers installed for your nexus phone if you are on windows. Go into hardware manager by right clicking on my computer and make sure that its reading it correctly in usb devices without a yellow triangle next to it.
I should have the correct drivers. I just went ahead and reinstalled them through the nexus toolkit. In device manager it says: unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed).
I checked adb devices before all this happened and it displayed correctly. I then rebooted into the bootloader but the fastboot devices command did not show anything. It was shortly after that that the screen turned off. Will the screen normally time out when in the bootloader? I'm wondering if my phone is still in the bootloader with the screen off and both power and volume buttons non functional.
Only thing I can think of is to wait for it to die, then volume down + plug in to pc and when bootloader screen appears issue command fastboot continue and it should boot up. Then get something to remap key or an app. If this all fails after it dies and you restart it assuming debugging wasnt on or its just reading phone as media device of sorts not allowing adb then you may have to get the power button assembly possibly and install it yourself or open the back case and hit the power contact under the button and see if you can get it on. Thats all the ideas I have.
I'd also suggest that after you reinstalled drivers make sure you did a reboot and then plug in the device and also try using a different USB port and or USB cord also as odd as that sounds Ive seen it work before. Im pretty tapped on ideas tho. Do you know if you had usb debugging enabled?

Ok, cool. I'll take a look.
Managed to get it back into the bootloader this morning. So I guess this is a PSA, if your screen times out while in the bootloader, the volume keys will not wake device so since my power button is broken I couldn't wake it. At that point, the phone is in a state where it cannot receive any fastboot commands, even though it is in bootloader with the screen off. What I had to do was wait overnight for the battery to drain and have the phone power itself off. At this point the volume down plus plug in charger trick worked to get it back into the bootloader with screen on. At that point I was able to 'fastboot reboot' back into system.
Thanks for the insight people

It's easy but also annoying. Removing the 18 screws is the most annoying part

Driver issue.
Remove/uninstall the drivers from your PC when the phone is connected.
After that reinstall the adb/fastboot drivers.
N6 - Power mapped to VOL DOWN; turned off and can't get it back on
Hi all, I had to remap my power button - I mapped it to VOLUME DOWN. The other day I voluntarily powered down my N6 at a test center.....and haven't been able to get it to respond since. I do have a Pixel 2 XL on the way - but not that sure I'll want to keep it. The N6 is so sweet.
I've tried holding the volume buttons (POWER and VOLUME UP) for like a minute, but nothing. When I charge it, I see the battery symbol (full) but only for about 5 seconds.
ADB does not see any connected devices. Wug's NRT does not see any connected devices. I'm at a loss and afraid that I've lost my N6 and will have to use the Pixel 2 XL regardless what I think about it.
Any other ideas?

Wow - just got my N6 to boot using this little tip I found on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...ny_way_to_turn_on_phone_without_power_button/
I was holding down the Vol Up and Power buttons (which are both the Volume bar since I remapped my power to Vol Down), but I hit 'enter' on the 'fastboot continue' text in the CMD prompt just after I plugged in the USB and the battery icon came up. It booted into bootloader mode briefly first, then went into system reboot. Whew!
I think your button assembly is broken and I would replace it. You could try the work around in Broken power button, any way to boot? by altarity, post #3.

Moto G(XT1064) issue with Display and getting to bootloader

Hello, My Moto G 2014 has a weird issue. Pressing the power button basically kills and shuts down the display. The display cannot be turned on by pressing the power again.
Turning on the phone also does NOT show the display.
Only way i can see the display again is -
power off the phone.
get to bootloader
select reboot option
Then phone turns on nicely.................... untill i hit the power button again, then display is dead again.
Last couple of days, i'm not even able to get the bootloader. I tried pressing the power + vol buttons but no use.
I cannot use the adb option as i cannot turn on the developer options on the phone without display.
Really appreciate any help. Thanks

Is my ASUS ROG Phone 3 bricked? Screen doesn't turn on

Could someone point me into a direction what exactly the problem is? I have used this phone on unofficial LineageOS 18.1 for a few months but suddently after dropping it from not all to high the screen displayed lines and colors similar to those that you see when you drop your phone into water (there was no water contact and the phone didn't fall that great of a distance, maybe like 1 meter/ 3ft).
My first guess is that the screen is broken, but I tried using ADB to extract some files still on the device but was unable to, especially I can't boot into fastboot or recovery it seems...
When pressing the power button the phone vibrates
Pressing the power button and volume down key reboots the phone (as seen on PC). Holding them down a long time shuts the device off or something. it can only be turned back on when plugged in.
I tried all possible button combinations to enter fastboot or EDL but nothing seems to work (Power + Volume Up / Volume Up + Volume Down while connecting to a PC with USB 2.0).
On my PC the device shows up as "MTP USB Device", everytime, not sure if I'm doing the EDL thing wrong...
EDIT: After leaving the device for a day, it suddenly started to vibrate and repeat the sound I guess plays when battery is low, over and over again in an increasing volume. The volume buttons had no effect as did the power button until it stopped and then didn't respond anymore. After plugging it in again it was back to vibrating once after i pressed the power button. What mode is this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated, not sure if it is even bricked but it seems off that I can't enter fastboot or anything else (like EDL), thanks!
