Hello. My cat dropped my OP5 today and the volume down button is basically jammed inside. It registers as pressed constantly. And being the careless person I am, I turned off the phone accidentally. Since the volume down button is registering, I can't boot to normal mode. I can boot to safe mode however. What I'm wondering if is there an adb line that can bypass all and directly boot to normal mode?

Is the physical button on the outside jammed into the phone such that it is crooked or otherwise not in it's normal position?
If you can get a hold of it to move it back to it's normal position the electrical button inside might release.
The physical buttons are kinda held into the back cover by a small metal tab that's stuck to the inside of the cover with adhesive. The electrical buttons are separate on a flex cable.

If the physical button is where it should be and it no longer clicks when vol-down is pressed, the electrical button inside may be damaged.
The phone isn't too difficult to take apart.

You might be able to find replacement buttons or it may come with the back cover.
