[Q] Help, power button not working - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So not only is my power button not working, Im stuck in the bootloader screen and cant reboot since the power button isn't working. So how can I reboot my phone to at least get it back to being a phone? I took the back part of the phone off to see if I remove the power button and manually press it would that work, no luck there. Any suggestions?
*******Ok so I think I fixed the problem, turns out the power button just need a little bit of help. so if I mess with it to turn off and on it's works. Thanks for the responses, glad to know that when needed, help is there and will be given******
Also, sounds like I might need to be moving on from this phone to the M8. New phone??? well alright!!!!!!

You in HBOOT or FASTBOOT?

Are you familiar with fastboot? Connect to a PC and use fastboot reboot.

Ok, I am connected to my comp, but how would I fast reboot without the use of the power button?

OK UPDATE!!!
So I held the power button down for a min or so and it shut down and rebooted. But the power button still doesn't work.
Yea I know, it doesn't make sense if the power button doesn't work how did it reboot when I held it down for a min? Im trying to wrap my brain around that one too. lol

How do you boot into Hboot?

Whenever I turn off my phone and try and hold down the volume key, it vibrates and then restarts. Pretty much bypassing my ability to get into HBoot. I even wait for almost a minuter before starting the phone. Only thing that seems to works is a battery pull but this is a pain. So what am I missing here?
Thanks
app "quickboot" should work. Also, power down, then while off, hold vol down press power. also, adb reboot bootloader. also, in terminal emulator, reboot bootloader. Most of those should work.
I tried the vol down but like I said it wasn't working. Quickbook works great so thanks.

Quick boot is the easiest, imo. The reason volume down and power wasn't working is because you have fastboot enabled. To disable it go to menu-settings-power and then uncheck fastboot.

[Q] razr dead

Hello everyone my name is Matteo from Italy
I made a big mess with my razr
I failed to flash a rom and the phone was stuck in ap fastboot I was able to get into recovery mode then I tried again to flash and eventually the phone will not start the first screen with the logo motorola dual core but it certainly does not go beyond missing some files you think there is a way to share or should I send it for repair or keep it as a paperweight
thank you for your cooperation

You should still get into the factory bootloader. I think it is turn off the phone, then hold down the power button and both volume keys. Then go to BP SBF Flash using down volume. Select that with up volume. Then you should be able to SBF the phone with a factory image that you download from somewhere using your PC and USB cable.

With the phone off, simultaneously push the power (same as lock) button and push in the middle of the volume up/down. Pushing in the middle of the volume up/down actually presses both up and down at the same time. Hold all three until the screen comes up to a menu. Should take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
As for the post right above this. Good point. How was your battery level when you performed this? If it was low do as suggested and charge it.

the battery was 60/70%
If you are getting the boot logo then you should be able to get into the menu I was talking about.

[Q] Oh Crap, Did I Just Brick My Phone?

I was attempting to flash over a new ROM. The sense 5.5 that just released. using the fastboot/hboot wasn't working so I tried to install from TWRP recovery, still not working. I then wiped my phone and did a factory reset, including the ROM wipe on TWRP. It booted up without an OS and now I can only get the boot screen to appear but the phone won't shut off. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, then immediately hold the volume down button until it boots back into hboot. (You don't have to keep holding the power button after the screen turns off) other than that I have no idea what your post is about or what you were trying to do.

I've had some issues trying to flash new 4.3 roms on new TWRP, install fails after few seconds, screen goes dark, then HTC screen w red dev text comes up, have to hold power button to restart into bootloader/recovery. Seems to help to reboot recovery after wiping and before flashing the rom for me

I think you only need to hold volume down. Works for me...

This. Just hold volume down while it is booting.
Got to settings> power > unclick fastboot
Then do power and volume down from a completely off state. Or plug into pc with adb set up and run adb reboot

Since you are locked out try holding volume up and power for ten seconds after the bottom keys start blinking. When you see the phone power off (it is actually rebooting) start holding the volume down button.
It may take a time or two but you will get it.
