I tried everything that involves the power button and the volume buttons but nothing seems to work. I tried using ADB using the 'adb boot bootloader' command but all it does is reboot the phone regularly. I've been really frustrated trying to get this to work.

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.
Hey Guys, so i never usually post because i can usually solve my own problems, but i think this time i've out done myself.
So last night when installing CM12.1 using TWRP my xperia Z2 everything was looking rosy. Then when I tried to turn the phone on to boot the first time it gave me just a single little vibe but would not turn on.
I've tried ALL combinations of button resets - Nothing
I've tried to re-flash a stock image using flashboot - Nothing - it won't recognise flash or download mode when i plug it into my computer while holding down volume down
I've tried holding the volume up button while plugging it into my computer to try FASTBOOT mode - Nothing - the blue LED on the top comes on, but neither OSX or WIN7 recognises anything has been plugged into the computer and it doesn't register on ./fastboot devices
So have I actually properly ****ed my device? Or am i missing something?
Any help would be so massively appreciated. Like i said, i usually never ask.
Did you try another cable? Blue LED is good, so fastboot mode should work.
When it would be bricked, there would be no blue LED...
Did you look into device manager on WIN7? Any device like "S1boot" or "Sony ADB Interface" there?
Sony logo showing up, when turning the phone on?
Try "fastboot reboot or "fastboot reboot bootloader" even though "fastboot devices" doesn't show up as anything (weird). It should boot back to bootloader and register your device. This happened to me once.
I think it's "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and i think it won't work...
Try
Try holding the power button and volume up button in until it vibrates. Then you should be able to hold power button and volume button to get to download mode. This works on mine when all else fails, lol.
I accidently wipe system and stuck on boot! :crying:
How do I access to recovery? I want to restore the system. Is there anyone knows how to boot into recovery by using something else?
Hold down power for 10 + seconds until phone is fully off, then try the hardware button press again
( volume down button whilst powering on.)
Usually the hardware buttons will override and stop it trying to boot
If not will adb recognise it if you plug it into PC?
plug it in and in cmd type 'adb devices'
if recognises try 'adb reboot recovery' in the cmd prompt
Hi, today I've tried to unlock the bootloader in my lg g5 International (H850) and it worked, but now whenever I go to the recovery mode there's a dead robot with a "No command" text waiting for me. What can I do? I've tried many combinations but the no command interface is always there, no matter what I press.
Also to get to recovery mode I have to use adb because Volume down + power on boot doesn't do anything
