Hello,
Is it possible to unlock the Nexus One without having a working power button?
The step before entering "fastboot oem unlock" in your adb shell, you have to select "fastboot" in the default stock bootloader on your N1. But you've to select "fastboot" with the power button.
Without unlocking the device, I'm not able to flash custom bootloaders (like Black Rose), am I?
Any ideas how to manage this problem?
Thanks in advance!

I think you can but you have to root your phone first with the bootloader locked and install custom ROM with the option to boot the phone to bootloader and then do the oem unlock via fastboot without shutting the phone off. And I am sure you know how to do the battery trick to recharge your phone, right?
It won't help you. Command "adb reboot bootloader" will take you straight to fastboot from absolutely any ROM, including stock, but you'll have to press Power button to confirm your choice to unlock bootloader - and voila, you have no power button.
I´m in same problem.
I also had this problem once, this is what I found:
Common Instructions
If you need to restart the phone, its impossible to do so, since the power button is broken.In such a scenario, follow this
a)Connect the phone to a charger/USB.
b)Remove the battery from the phone once you see the charging light on the phone
c)Insert the battery and keep it there until you see the charging light again.
Continue doing steps b) and c) until the phone boots (Phone normally boots in 4 attempts).
[Update]
It is required that the phone be fully charged in order to complete the steps correctly.A phone shutting off in between an upgrade/flashing due to low battery is sure to brick.

Hi Domskibus,
you don't need to unlock your device to flash BlackRose! I didn't unlock mine, too!

This is correct. For flashing BlackRose only root is required, AFAIK. Possibly not even that. The exact requirements are stated in BlackRose thread.

i did search arround, but haven't found nothing similar with my problem..
i able to recover a phone if i cannot enter in fastboot or recovery. in bootloader it works but it freezing in the moment i push power button to choose fastboot or recovery. also it doesn't boot normal-> it's starting, showing the "htc powered by android" screen then goes off.
mention: in the bootloader is no "Active CMDline overflow" message.
only thing i'm interested if it's possible recover from this.

what hboot are you on? 1.44?
unplug the cable,
force reboot,
select FASTBOOT,
when it shows FASTBOOT (in red),
plug the cable to your computer, and it should change to FASTBOOT USB
.
1.57,
it remains highlithed in blue. it freezes highlighted in blue.
there you got it. i recorded what happens, if you have patience 2-3 mins.
ignore the cracked screen, i disassambled the phone to disconnect the battery, in hope of something would work after.. and did not matter for me if that i damaged it, i have new full housing with touchscreen for it.

Hi,
I can understand your frustration. You can use two methods:
01- Switch off phone. Press Volume Up and Down buttons together and Press and hold Power Button for 3-5 seconds. Phone will boot and take you to TWRP.
02- Instead of using buttons, use "adb reboot recovery" it will take you to TWRP.

Aero

Now i adb commands stopped working idk why
My phone also has the same problem ،
I waited for the battery to finish. Then, with a chance to connect the charger cable and playing with the buttons, I was able to enter the main rom
plz help me . How can I fix the boot loader?
Is it possible to install the original ROM on the bootloader again?
Please excuse my lack of knowledge I am a complete beginner.
My wife left her working Asus k013 (do not know which model as I no longer have box) on charge over night, next day it would no longer get beyond the boot screen. We are stuck with the Asus Logo and the revolving boot start symbol.
I have tried the start/volume up and start/volume down options to do factory reset but just returns to the boot start. If I hold the buttons down for a long time it just shuts down. I them tried downloading 'clear data' to sd card but this presumably requires the tablet to boot before it works.
I have purchased a new tablet for her so I do not want to send the tablet for repair but would really like to get it working as spare and to experiment with rooting etc. to try an improve my knowledge.
If you boot with Power + Volume Down (stop pressing power once the backlight turns on, but keep pressing Volume Down) does it boot into the Droidboot screen (with NORMAL BOOT, RECOVERY MODE buttons)?

Did you install the Lollipop (Android 5.0) update on it when it was still working or were you still on KitKat (Android 4.4)?

Not sure which release it is on. Received an OTA a while ago from the original when bought.
Upgrade was not recent so do not think that's it unless the OTA was done last weekend.

Huh, well. Do you get a "Fastboot starting..." screen if you press Volume Down + Volume Up + Power while turning the tablet on?

Download http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36-user.zip.
Install ADB+Fastboot on your PC. There are various guides available online for this, so you should google or take a look at https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html
Boot into that mode again and connect the tablet to your PC (via USB). On a command prompt, verify that...
Code:
fastboot devices
... displays a device. Extract "droidboot.img" from the ZIP you've downloaded in the first step, then run:
Code:
fastboot boot droidboot.img
Does it now show the "NORMAL BOOT" etc screen?

Sorry, this might have been confusing but I didn't post all needed steps yet. I just wanted to make sure you actually get to the droidboot screen.
Since you managed to get there, this is what I recommend: Use https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096 on the "NORMAL START, RECOVERY MODE" etc screen to get into a temporary recovery session. For this tablet you should use trigger T4 and TWRP portrait. Copy the UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36-user.zip you already downloaded to a external SD card first.
Once you are in recovery, you can try flashing the ZIP. This might restore your system to a usable state.
As for fastboot devices not showing any device: On Windows you may need to install the right USB drivers to make it work properly. You can try the Universal ADB drivers available from https://adb.clockworkmod.com/ or the USB driver provided by ASUS http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/ADB_driver.zip. I cannot help you with this because I'm not using Windows much myself.

Hi, there.
I need help, please .

Does anyone have the same thing ?
I tried the following 2 .

Fastboot screen will be displayed for a moment, but normal reboot will be done immediately.

That's honestly one of the most useless answers I've read here.
To even be able to unlock the bootloader, you HAVE TO enter the fastboot mode and he cannot. So what you'r saying doesn't make any sense. Like at all.
I do have the same btw and I'm running out of ideas, so if anyone actually has something helpful to say I'd be very thankful.
Neither the button combo nor the adb reboot bootloader does work. I can see the fastboot screen for like half a second and then it reboots normally without even touching the device.
Edit: I just found a way to enter fastboot on my realme X2 Pro.
You have to click on "Start in depth test" on the official Realme App, which can be found here: https://c.realme.com/in/post-detail...64863306907648&subForumId=1197159778845982720

No, and before relocking bootloader, if your not "completely stock", you can brick your device.

I did install the testing app and i'm still having that issue where i only see the fastboot for a split second before the device reboots itself. What am i doing wrong? I also enabled developer mode - OEM unlock - USB debug.
I've flashed my device before and i've even been able to unbrick my own device after "destroying" boot image, but this is something new and it's coming from Realme and i don't appreciate it!
I'm actually looking to replace my device with something more flash friendly, what would you recommend as a good budget device to De-Googlefy?
Hey guys..I am facing the same issue. I cannot get into Fastboot mode using the key combination or adb method. With the ADB method and the unlock tool the phone reboots with fastboot written with some chinese characters for a split second and then boots up as normal.
Has anyone found any solutions?
I am on the 5th March 2021 security update.
I also suffer from the same problem, When I want to go to Fastboot, a logo comes for 2/3 seconds and then the system is rebooted.
I am also facing the same issue. Any Help?
