I am kinda at a loss, my phone is stuck in a bootloop and the volume rocker is broken (previous water damage). I cant boot into recovery because the volume rocker does not work, and I cant get into rom manager because the phone wont boot. Any one have any ideas?

you can try connecting the phone to the pc with usb cable and use ADB to restart phone to fastboot. Use this command "adb reboot fastboot"
From what i know the phone has to be either in recovery mode or booted up for adb commands to work.
You got bootloop but this does not mean that adb interface is not running before it reboots itself, especially if it loads the kernel. You can try, does not cost anything.
Run "adb reboot fastboot" on you computer just before the phone reboot.
What about "adb reboot recovery" as that was what he wanted access to?

When did it get water damage? Have you tried the rice trick? Placing the phone in a tub full of rice for a few days.
Otherwise I am unsure. Because all these people saying about using ADB is great and all but you need to start the phone in RSD protocol by holding the Volume Up (recovery is the volume down button).
If the Up Volume button works then you can use ADB, but as you said the volume rocker isn't working I am guessing thats not going to help much.
Just connect it to your pc and see how is it recognized. Even without turning it on. Either fastboot, rsd lite or adb method can save it.

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.
I have already rooted my phone.
Actually i tried to backup my current ROM using ROM Manager, for that it reboot phone and get stuck for an hour. so i take out the battery. try to hard reset the phone it takes me to
Code:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
when i connect my usb cable it turns like below and nothing happening after that
Code:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
--suspended--
I also tried to get into emergency mode many times by volume up + volume down + Connect USB cable , but i get only LG logo nothing more.
Now i even not get into fastboot mode. i get only LG logo by holding any key combination.
Take out battery hold the buttons to put it in download mode keep holding while you put the battery back in

but to use the tool, The device must be in fastboot/bootloader mode.
Now i am not able to get fastboot screen also. i tried number of key combination while powering on phone. but all time i get LG logo nothing else.
Im sure it has been asked but i couldnt find it. I push volume down and power button and the home button button and all them flash but no recovery. My phone is currently stuck on the htc beats audio screen and would like to get it going again. So if somone has an idea on how to get it booted with a different rom without getting to recovery would be great.

u hold volume down and power till the bottom lights flash.. keep holding them and they will stop flashing the phone will shut off.. then what i do is i take my finger off the power botton for like 1 sec.. put it back on.. hold it till the bootloader screen should pop up.. then u can get into recovery from there.. works everytime
evo401's method is pretty fool-proof. However if it doesn't work you can always try plugging your phone into your computer and see if adb detects it (adb devices) if it does simply send it a reboot command (adb reboot recovery) that should automatically force it to reboot to the recovery.
basucally flashed a rom and it went bad and my phone wont boot, i can only get it into fastboot but plugging it in and holding volume up and i have no power button, so i cant select boot into recovery, is there any way i can through the cmd?
*edit*
I figured out how to boot to recovery, download a recovery img, and in fastboot cmd you go
Fastboot flash recovery_image_name.IMG
Then
Fastboot boot recovery_image_name.IMG

Depends on which version of the official software/firmware you had installed. You might check out this:

If you were on a KK set up then that recovery won't work.

all i want to know is, when im in fastboot is there some kind of command line or any other way i can select recovery mode besides the power button? my power button is broken, and i cant turn on my phone to reboot into recovery due to me soft bricking it.

So when you turn it off, leave it set there for a bit (guess you would have to let it die at this point...), and hold Volume Up and plug in the USB cable to the PC - you don't get into Download Mode? But as far as booting to recovery without the power button and not able to boot into the OS...I can't think of a way. There are no fastboot commands to get to recovery and without it booting to anything but fastboot, there is no way to utilize adb commands either.
So, I have an Asus zf 2 ze500cl with cm 14.1 nightly and broken volume up button and the phone is stuck in bootloop so I can't enter recovery through ROM Manager or such. Is there a way to enter recovery without using volume up button, like through adb or something?

Connect your Android to PC.
Type, without quotes
"adb devices" then enter
Type,
"adb reboot recovery" then enter.
These commands boot your phone into recovery mode.
but, why adb didn't detect my device?
Have you enable usb debugging enable option in android setting developer option before you flash ROM.
no
Then you can not access adb.
Steps for getting into recovery mode without volume buttons:
1. Take the battery off
2. Plug the phone to a wall charger for at least one or two minutes.
3. Put the battery back on along with the battery door and don't touch any buttons.
- The orange led on the front will light up and stay on for a few seconds before the phone automattically gets into recovery.
I don't know it works or not. Give it a try.
but my phone has planted battery
