Android phone's Power button is gone, how to boot now in Recovery mode

E|e<tr0|!0n

Broken In
My Moto G4+ 's Power button just broke off and is lost.
I intend to boot the phone into recovery mode for rooting purposes, but it seems impossible as you've to hold the power button + volume buttons to do so.
As of now I am able to revive the screen by swiping on the fingerprint reader, but I have to indulge in risky things like poking toothpicks into the power button's slot to switch it on/off.
Is there any way I can do it without any hassle?

You can do that by using ADB shell on a PC.
If you want to DIY repair the button then:

I've lost the power button, and with it all hopes to find it in local repair stores :blush:
How do I reboot it the way I want using ADB?
rebooting in into recovery or boot loader directly from ABD For beginners

In ADB Shell type in
Code:
adb devices
This will allow you to see if your device is connected and recognized

if you want to reboot to bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

if you want recovery

You could've just installed any Quick reboot apps, to boot into recovery with a single touch.
