I think your powerbutton is stuck into "on" position this is the reason of booting from alone...
This is hardware problem..

Hi everybody! Im new here and maybe my english is bad (sorry for that) but i have big problem!
I have HOXL (at&t) with twrp recovery and i flash Cleanrom v preview build BUT i forget to do factory reset before that.Now my phone is stuck on the boot animation and i can't do anything,even i can't connect with usb cable with my computer(led is not lightening)
Can somebody tell me how can i go into the bootloader or anything that can fix this problem?
Just hold the power button until the phone resets. Let off the power button for half a second then press it again and hold it and also hold vol (-) until you get into bootloader. From there select recovery.
Remember, no matter what if your phone is powered on, pressing and holding power WILL reset the phone. Its a hardware feature to simulate a bettery pull.
tnx

Ok so i had the bootloop problem with my Infuse , i fixed it by opening my phone and playing with the power button hardware.
I accidently broke the power button , I looked for hours for a way to turn on my phone with out a power button with no success until i found tried this:
TUTORIAL STARTS HERE
1. Enter Download mode by holding both volume rockers and inserting a USB cable while still holding
2. Get to the screen that asks you if continue with Download Mode or not.
3. Remove USB cable and click the 2nd option.
4. Phone will restart and that's how you turn on a phone with no power button.
Hope it helped some people.
you can also try a re-map.

I think only Samsung uses "Download Mode". LG probably has Fastboot like most other Android devices (Vol-Dn + Pwr). But you can try it - it won't hurt.
EDIT: Finally got an LG device. It does indeed have Download mode (and no Fastboot...Vol-Dn+Pwr brings me to a scaled back bootloader). Don't know if if asks to continue or not, but Download Mode doesn't hurt the phone unless you are potentially flashing software with it.
iTs working!! on Motorola Razr xt910
Android 2.2 and is working! After the phone turn on I was downloaded the app pwr bottom to volume key! And that is all okkk!
But take care after press (down and up) if you press up Inside tthe download mode this mean select! And on my first time I have take the recovery mode! xD
Good loooook!

Download Mode should work the same across all Samsung models. So, probably...

Hello mate!!! Thanks for the post but i have problems here. First of all my phone (Galaxy Wonder) goes into download mode by pressing volume down + home btn + power button, so i though instead of the volume rockets i had to press volume down + power button and then usb cable. It worked. Got into download mode!!! Then i remove the cable, wait a few seconds and then press down to cancel and restart. Then it happens that the screen shows a grey battery, then it fades out and back in for twice. Then the phone just turns off. Battery is charged! What could be the problem? (I have to say i just completely removed the power button from the motherboard, but keeping the metal things that were around it still soldered on the motherboards.
Any guess???
Thanks a lot
LG mytouch e739
My mytouch just goes into s/w upgrade and stays there forever.

I can't choose because my power button is off
Hello.
My power button is broken. The only way I know to turn the phone on is removing the battery and connecting it quickly. I could get into the stock recovery pressing vol + and connecting to the charger but I need the power button to select any option, I installed TWRP recovery but I cannot use it, the button combination is different to get into (vol + & power button).
Is there any other way to turn on or use recovery when the phone is off?
Thanks
Fastbooting it from the computer is a solution..
Fastboot is disabled in android marshmallow. Now, how can we boot the phone ?
One last resort option is to send it to Alcatel. I had issues with my power button failing and they resolved it. (FTR I was still under warranty)
I had this problem. Eventually found a video for it on YouTube. I couldn't return my phone to Alcatel as I had dropped it in the toilet ? and then taken it apart to dry it out.
If its still under warranty I would return it to Alcatel. If not then the way to turn it on is a bit of a pain at first but quite easy when you've done it a few times. You do have to take the back off your phone.
If you are happy there is a reasonable amount of charge already in it then plug it in to a charger whilst holding the volume up button (or down button I forget which!) This should start the phone in the recovery mode.
Then unplug the phone.
Then very quickly disconnect and reconnect the battery.
Phone will turn on.
Put phone back together.
Keep battery charged!

So before, my power button gave me issues where it required substantial force to be used in order to get any response. Now all of a sudden, the fingerprint sensor went out as well as the power button itself. When attempting to do a hard reset to correct the problem, the phone won't turn on anymore. So it would seem that the power button no longer works and now I cannot turn on my phone . I've attempted to go into download mode or even the bootloader with little to no luck at all.
Does anyone have an alternative way to power on the phone so I can attempt to backup my data?

This took a lot of trial and error with various button combinations, but I think I found a solution that works.
You must use the wall charger and cord. That's what I used.
1. Press and hold the volume up and down button at the same time.
2. Plug in the wall charger to the charging port.
3. You will see the lg logo on your phone.
4 Right when you see the lg logo unplug the charger from the phone.
5. Continue holding the volume up and down button.
6. LG logo will go away and then come back and your phone should boot.
5. Release the volume up and down button when it starts to boot.
Note: If you don't pull the power cord right when you see the lg logo, it will go into charging mode.
I was able to successfully boot my phone from a powered off state this way 3 times with no problem.
Once you get it booted, you could download an app from the play store to remap a volume button to be a power button as a temporary solution.

My Nexus 5 was drained off battery and was not taking charging suddenly. I entered the hard reset mode( power+volume down button) and accidently did a "restart bootloader". Since then my phone has been hard bricked! I cannot enter into recovery mode as well( power + volume down button). But I am sure that if I can get the bootloader running somehow, my phone will be back. I am sure it does not have any grave hardware issues as such. But the maintenance (service) center says , they will need to replace the motherboard, which is too costly for me.
Can anyone give me any pointers of how can I get my phone working again?

Have you tried connecting it to a computer and seeing if it gets detected by the computer in device manager? If so, it should still be possible to bring it back.
What exactly happens when you try to power it on? Does the screen turn on at all? Does it vibrate once, as supposed to, when you press the power button? Or is it completely unresponsive? Also, when you plug it in to charge, does a red LED light up where the notification light normally is?
Also, try various combinations of powering up sequences. You want to try the following:
Hold power
Hold power + vol down (this should bring you into bootloader)
Hold power + vol up
Hold power + both volume buttons
Let me know what happens when you try this, and maybe I can help you out!
