Chosen Solution

Hello, I think it is better if I start from the begining: My brother gave me a broken smartphone, I fixed it (here the question I asked: The device doesn’t recharge.. ). It was working well but I locked the phone. So now it ask me to insert email and password (I tried all emails with all possible password but them don’t work). I wanted to reset it through the PC but I can’t. So the only possibility is to use the “normal” recovery mode. To get into it I have to use the power button. Now the problem: I don’t completely fixed the connector (that is used by the power button) because it required to solder very thin pins and I don’t have the skills and the tools to do it. But now I need to use that button, so I thought “I know which pin brings the power button signal, so why don’t bypass it”. So I wont need to solder the thin pins. But the problem is that I don’t know which voltage and amperage I should use. Any idea? If you have others solutions it would be even better. thank you!!! P.S.:Sorry if my description is confused, but is hard to explain the situation normaly, a lot more in a language that isn’t mine. (In the other question there is the schematic of the connector too)

Giovanni Riva, take a look at the schematic from your precious question. Pin1 and 14 are the power button. Since it is a switch, you will not need to apply any power to the connector. You need to connect from point to point, in this case 1 to 14 should turn the power on. Placing a jumper across the other pins should also close the USB circuits. Pin 5-10 seem to relate to the charging circuit. Do not apply any additional power to the connector at all. Hope this helps, good luck.

If you allowed debugging mode at any point, you may be able to use ADB to force boot the device into recovery. I suggest following that to the end to see if its possible to reboot into recovery that way.

I’ve got the solution to you but i’ve got no camera to upload a photo, but on the part of the sim, there’s five solder points, the one in the middle is the power button, solder a switch between it and any metal surface ;)
