Auto boot when wall charger is plugged [closed]

Answer 1

Moto e4 and Pixel 2 XL:

Get your device into the bootloader (fastboot) and run the following command from a computer connected over USB with Android Tools:

fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0

Answer 2

I was able to get it to work by updating the init.rc file

I found the on charger trigger and added the following lines below it:

setprop ro.bootmode "normal"
setprop sys.powerctl "reboot"

The entire trigger block ends up looking like this

on charger
    class_start charger
    setprop ro.bootmode "normal"
    setprop sys.powerctl "reboot"

You then need to repack and flash the boot image created after the updates.

Connect the device over USB

Power on device and get to bootloader mode

adb reboot bootloader 

To flash boot image execute the following command while in fastboot

fastboot flash boot new-boot.img

Note: This fix will cause the device to reboot when its plugged in even when shutting it off using the power button or software shutdown.

Answer 3

I also tried replacing charge_only_mode with a sh script that rebooted the phone but only got a red circle with the M (on a Motorola Bionic). Changing the script to the below got it working...Now I get the red circle with the M for a few seconds, then a blank screen, the another red circle with the M, and it boots on up.

#!/system/bin/sh
su -c "/system/bin/reboot -n outofcharge"

Answer 4

So I was trying to achieve this with a 3rd gen Moto G. It has a charge_only_mode file as per Rohit's answer, but simply moving/renaming it did not make the phone reboot on charge. Instead it just sat there with a Motorola logo. I got the same result when replacing charge_only_mode with either of the scripts referenced here.

I did get it to work, however. I copied /system/bin/reboot into /system/bin/charge_only_mode, and that did the trick.
