My power button is broken internally, I can't press it to turn on my phone. How should I turn it back on? This is what I do and fail:

Holding volume down and plugging cable I get the fastboot logo, I run Command on SDK.

I enter> fastboot devices (it gives me the device number)

I enter> fastboot reboot OR fastboot boot OR fastboot continue

Everytime I get this error:

Rebooting FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error)) fastboot: error: Command failed

Using PowerShell on SDK folder or using minimal fastboot I get no error BUT just like before my phone says "press any key to shut down." instead of booting to OS.

What should I do? Thank you (also tell if there's another way to turn it on)

  • have you installed adb? – Dinesh Gami Aug 20 '20 at 13:55
  • The Windows command fastboot has to be installed. The preferred source is the Android SDK, but there are also minimal installations that contain just adb and fastboot. – Robert Aug 20 '20 at 15:29
  • Robert, I did download fastboot and ran PowerShell by Shift+RightClicking in the downloaded folder. (it has no installation file or copy root) – rr M Aug 20 '20 at 15:48
  • why are you using powershell? – Dinesh Gami Aug 20 '20 at 16:27
  • I installed minimal adb and fastboot installer, android SDK and 15 seconds adb installer. Yet everytime I command reboot my phone says press any key to shut down instead of booting to OS. I use everything cmd, powershell, minimal... – rr M Aug 20 '20 at 16:28
