My power button is kinda dead I can shut off the phone and turn it on but going through recovery is impossible. How can I still flash roms

Do you mean that in recovery it will not select items?

I use Fix Broken Pro widget to lock the screen and No Lock app to unlock using volume down button.
I go to recovery using adb or Rom Manager. Then use back, menu, search, home buttons to go back, Scroll Down, Select and Scroll Up respectively.
Yea I can't select options in recovery or it'll continuously select reboot bootloader and I can never get into recovery mode

I guess I need to learn to flash through adb

If you are using cwm recovery, you don't need power button. Touch buttons are enough.
In CWM, do you see a message that says back button has been disabled? Somehow last night this was happening to me but in my case I simply pulled the battery and rebooted and all was fine. If it's acting up in the bootloader though I would suspect you have a hardware issue.

When I hold volume up and the power button to boot into the bootloader I can't select reboot recovery it just keeps selecting reboot bootloader since my power button is messed up

Actually issue resolved thanks to rom manager

Turn off the phone.
Take out the battery for 1-2 seconds and put it back in.
Hold volume down while pressing the power button.
Phone should now boot into Hboot mode. You can tell what version of Hboot and whether or not it's secured or not by looking at the top line.
It looks like the hboot interface hasn't really changed since the original G1.
You can also just go menu settings power and turn off fastboot then power off normally and boot in to hboot normal

if you're already running a custom ROM like CyanogenMod or AOKP, then hold the power button, choose restart, and choose bootloader. once it boots up into the white screen with some text, use the volume keys to move up and down, and the power key to select, and select the first option. should take you to Hboot.
but honestly the best way to get right to hboot is completely shut the phone down (or pull batter), and hold the volume down, and WHILE STILL HOLDING, press the power button. never failed for me.

i cant find the same topic here on xda so i opend a new thread.
im using a nexus s i9023 with slim ics 3.5 and the air kernel 4.0. my power button doesnt work anymore. in the bootloader menu i also cant use the volume buttons. and when i insert the battery it starts without pushing any button. so i dont think its a hardware problem?! should i try to flash a stock rom with bootlader via odin? and where can i get one for europe? thanks

Seems a hardware issue to me. Your power button just died.

I have the same problem too, I cannot boot into recovery via the bootloader anymore, I have to use CM9's reboot into recovery option. My phone also automatically starts after inserting the battery.
To unlock the phone when the screen is off, I've remapped the keys using the key layout file. I've remapped the volume down button as the power button.
I'm also interested to know how to control the bootloader when our power button isn't functioning properly.

Friend has a HTC Sensation on T-Mobile and is having software problems. I suggested factory wiping and wiping cache in recovery.

go to boot loader ...
(power off phone ,remove battery,re insert it ,then hold volume down + power )
from there browse to recovery using vol up/down buttons and select recovery using power button
once you enter recovery ..you will have a red triangle ..if its stock ...then do a three finger salute (press vol up,down and power at once)..then you will get some options
Thank you sir!!
Also another question, is there a way to reboot (restart) the phone natively on stock? My friend is running the Official ICS OTA if that makes a difference. Or is turning off the phone and back on manually the only way? Lol.

I tried selecting recovery but it just rebooted, I think it needs to be fully charged then it might let me go into recovery.

You can try this switch off the phone and hold both the volume buttons together and press power button for 5 seconds and it should get you in the boot menu then press volume down button it will highlight the recovery option and then press volume up button to select it.

Hi,
I have an ATT LG G3. I've got it rooted, have done a NAND backup, and am now trying to flash a new ROM. I'm trying to get into recovery either via ADB or the old fashioned way by button press, but in either case--after commanding the phone to go to recovery--I seem to get stuck in fastboot mode instead. In tiny print it will say something like "processing fastboot commands" or "fastboot mode started" and then just hangs there....forever. I have to remove the battery and then the phone boots back up normally. But I just can't seem to get into recovery anymore.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Frustrated Noob
Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off.
Press and hold ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons together and release them as soon as you see the LG logo on your phone’s screen.
Now immediately press and hold the ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons again until you see the ‘Hard reset screen’
Press power button once, and then again to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone won’t hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.
Get the app quickboot. Doesn't work with lollipop yet though.

Thanks for replying. If you mean the "factory data reset" prompt, that just brings me to the fastboot screen again. Just tried it. Unless you're referring to another option???

Got it and used the recovery button to reboot, but I'm right back into the fastboot hang screen again.

Sound like u didn't install the bumped twrp. Just download the bumped twrp from the development thread and use flashify to flash it. Easiest way. Or u could follow there instructions. But flashify is easier. If u did already do this. Then I don't know why it's not booting into twrp recovery.
