Is it possible to restart the phone without shutting it down, then holding the power button to start it again?
On my G1, I was able to restart a couple of ways.
If you have root and a terminal app you can type in:
reboot
And that will restart your phone.

yes i want to know this too. cause my phone stuck at the android logo!!
Press the 3 key combo to get in (vol down + home + power) then use the volume buttons to get to USB-MS toggle. You use the menu button on the very right side of your phone to enter. It will allow you to copy whatever you want from your pc to the sd card. Remember to exit USB mode afterwards.

I am pretty confident that the menu button is on the left side
So, my Maxx suffered a power button failure and I should be receiving my warranty replacement from VZW sometime in the next day or two. Other than the power button not working, the phone is functioning fine. It reboots, runs normally, functions perfectly. I'm running .215 rooted and I want to return the phone back to stock before shipping it back. Problem is I can't access Boot Loader, no matter what I try. It's like it's not there anymore and when I command the phone into it using quick boot, adb, or the built-in menu, the phone just power cycles off. Let me try to explain:
I have Quick Boot installed and I can use it to boot into recovery without a problem. If I try to boot into Boot Loader, the phones powers off and stays off.
I've tried adb shell with the same results. I can connect to my PC and command the phone using shell commands but usin the 'adb reboot bootloader' command results in the same thing: phone power cycles off and stays off.
Even though my power button is AFU, I figured out I can still access the main recovery menu (the vol down to choose, vol up to select one) by holding down the vol up/down and plugging the phone into a charger. Same thing: power cycles off and stays off.
* Funny thing is although my power button doesn't work, I can still soft reset the phone by holding the power button in and vol down - which is what I need to do to exit recovery or other menus I need to input to a prompt using the power button.
Anyone know of this happening? MY guess is since my phone starts and functions normally otherwise, the boot loader is still there in some form. I just don't know how to access it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I can confirm this app will reboot bootloader

Thanks Dave but not for me. Same result: phone power cycles off and just stays off when selecting reboot bootloader.

If there is no bootloader you won't be able to start your phone at all as its THAT what basically boots the whole hardware and software....
How about adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery commands ?

The bootloader being the phone's "bios" is kind of how I understood it so I'm figuring it's still gotta be there. I just can't seem to access it or get to the "device/battery OK, device disconnceted" menu. I tried adb reboot bootloader and got the same results: power cycle to off and stays off. adb reboot recovery works fine.
Knowing this phone is going to be turned back in, is there any other way I could re-install .211 without having access to the bootloader screen?

Try the eternity project flasher or the motorola's rds lite if they will be able to put the phone to the flash mode as they do that automatically...

I posted a thread over at DroidRAZR.com and got some good feedback and troubleshooting help. It looks like the bottom line is the power button failed in the 'on' postion. One of the folks that replied to the DR thread caused his device to show the same 'AP Fastboot power-off' that I was getting by entering the 'Boot Mode Selection Menu' and holding the power button down while he vol+ to select AP Fastboot. It caused me to look a little closer at what the device was doing and that seems to be exactly what's going on - I powered th phone down using the Quick Boot app and was able to soft reset by holding down the vol- key by itself (didn't need to press power in conjunction). After it SR and i released the vol- key, the device rebooted by itself.
For your info, that thread is here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/3782-cant-access-boot-loader-menu-no-matter-what/
I tried working a thin piece of paper in around the button but no luck there.
Just got a replacement phone from Sprint and have activated it.
Wanted to do a simple HTCDev.com unlock for the ability to do a few things that require root..
From being powered off, I hold down the Down Volume and them press and hold the Power button but that doesn't work... The three icons (buttonless buttons) flash a number of times but no matter how long I hold down those two buttons, the phone won't boot into the bootloader.
And YES, FASTBOOT is unchecked ....
Any ideas? I've rooted a number of phones and it's usually the 'hold down the down volume + power' until it boots into the bootloader...
Not this one...
HELP!
Turn off fastboot in settings and if you still can't, use adb tools or sdk and type adb reboot bootloader

Weird...

Or you could download TWRP from the play store and do it from within the app, if your rooted of course.
I tried these both with no success
The only way I can boot into TWRP is through the Klickitool here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/tool-t3283944
How to install an stable TWRP?
This is my ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...-lg-v10-h901-10c-debranded-debloated-t3277305
This took me a while to learn myself with this phone. Was so frustrating. The app is good but if you need to do it from a battery pull this won't help.
Do this:
Pull Battery
Put it back and then:
1. Hold the volume down button and power button down.
2. When the LG logo pops out while keeping the volume down button held quickly remove you finger from the power and then back on and Hold it.
This should get you in. Ima pro now. Lol.
You will get a white screen with some options. Use the volume down key to answer "yes" twice and you will be in TWRP.
This way is kinda long, but just for educational purposes I guess...
If you are rooted already, get a terminal emulator and type in 'su' (without the quote) and hit enter. You'll be prompted to allow super user access to the terminal. Click allow and then type 'reboot recovery' and hit enter. It will boot into whatever recovery you have installed.
Some emulators have widgets where you can save commands and execute them by tapping the widget but I haven't really messed with those features.
I've tried to press and hold Power Button + Volume Up, but it doesn't work.
adb reboot bootloader from adb & fastboot also doesn't work, it reset the phone then back to home screen.

Uh, another A39/CPH1605 user here. I think you're trying to root this device. You basically can't reboot your phone into it, without TWRP.
