On the HTC Titan it was by pressing Vol down + Camera & Power. Should be the same since the 8x is the next main upgrade from it.
** Please let me know if it works (Y-Cable ubrand or flash)

Either way it should be some combination using the volume keys and the camera ... Good thing it there not many combinations
up + camera
down + camera
up & down +camera
up & down
I think just down sends it Zune mode which is useless unless with zune lol
No, none combinations doesn't work.
Mostly phone goes into bootloader mode with serial\usb connection, file check\search from y-cable doesn't start at all.
Seems everything is changed from older htc winphones.
Take a look at hardreset for 8x:
http://www.hard-reset.com/htc-8x-hard-reset.html
VOLUME DOWN + POWER button - brings exclamation mark on phone
VOLUME UP + POWER button - brings lightning mark on phone
In these modes sequence of buttons without any confirmation on screen leads to result(see hard reset).
I guess usb host mode can be reached through these actions.

lol those sneaky bastards who knows how many combinations are possible when you can now add multiple same button sequences... While having the y-cable plugged in with a proper goldcard then usb-host would be the only mode the usb gets accessed (blinking light etc).
Unless the icon is just a cover for an underlying menu. Volume Up activates the menu, Volume Down Picks Factory Reset, Power accepts it, Volume down is the reboot acceptance. (" Reset complete, press volume down to reboot" etc)
Probably, security in 8x\8s has mooved to htc javacard and without it in y-cable proccess even doesn't start.

Dear friends may be i have some something to share with you!
My Sharp is dead becoase i did flash a boot.img from marijuana.ddo.jp bb13.7z it is for IS01 (don`t try it)
After days and nights research i did find a secret hotkey combination, but my phone is dead and i see just a black screen!Somebody that has a working and healthy phone maybe can help and upload any picture of this menu or write what does it see.
So these are the steps :
1: Pull out the battery
2: Push Power + Menu + Home + Back + Camera Vol + Vol - Magnify Button
3: You will see the Softbank Logo
4: Continue Pushing all the buttons until the phone shutdown and power on
If you have a data cable pluged in the phone and pc you will hear the voice (Ding Ding) but the device is unknown to me PID_0000 VID_0000 )
Thats all for the moment
If anybody has a working phone please pm me to say what exactly is seeing in this state mode!

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!

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
My LG G2's power button and volume rockers appear to have stopped working. My phone is off and USB debugging is off. Is there any way I can power my phone on? Thanks!

The problem is that my phone is off! And I can't turn it on without using the power button it seems.
Is it the button itself that is broken or the functionality of the electronics? I once had to replace the physical button after the guts had fallen out of it. Got to the last step of rooting my phone, went to press that rocker button and ...nothing. I always used the virtual, on screen button for photos, so I never even realized that it was dead. They can usually find them somewhere online

I think it is the electronics because at one point my power button/volume buttons were randomly getting pressed without my input. But, I really don't know for sure.

previously we have the option to remove the battery and place again. But here i am not having a chance.

All phones have a recovery mode which can be accessed by pressing volume up or down (only one) while inserting the USB cable. This powers on the phone for download mode allowing you to restore software.
As mentioned best method is to repair the faulty button but I would try restoring STOCK image/rom first.
Possible solution
Hope that this trick could help someone.
Situation:
- broken power button
- lg g2 off
- WORKING volume button
After lots of tries to power on that damned phone something happens:
1) Charge g2 until 100%.
2) Hold both volume button (UP AND DOWN) and insert power supply
3) be ready to disconnect the power supply immediatly when the lg logo appears
4) disconnect charger (Screen will goes off) keep holding volume button
5) reinsert power supply and when screen goes on release and rehold again both volume button.
And... Magically lg g2 starts!
I really don't know why this procedure works but i currently use this trick to power on the device when accidentally my lg goes to 0% -.-'
Some advice:
Before doing all this combination i've tried holding both volume button when the device was off.. For some reason the red led (charging color) flashed five times then this trick works. Don't know if was just a coincidence. But triying can't do any damage!
So... HOLD FOR MORE TIME YOU CAN THOSE ****** BUTTON.
And pray.
Hope that this will help someone

this worked for me. although I found that I did not have to reinsert the power supply nor did I have to rehold both volume buttons again at the end.
so 5) when screen comes on, release the two volume buttons.
Install Volume unlock, it'll make your volume button unlock the screen

Use ADB Commands to first connect your phone with your pc using a terminal and then use some other adb commands to power it on.
Google for some ADB commands.
Hit thanks
Lg g2 D802 here, non-responding power button. I power on my Phone just by plugging in the power cable and pulling it out when the logo appears. Nothing else. Screen on/off by knock-on funktion.

It souds like witchcraft but it works!
Hi All,
Recently I ran into power button issues. Long story short, tried to fix it and made the matters worse - no more physical power button and I doubt it'll get fixed.
The main problem now: how do I set up the phone so I could power it on without the physical power button?
Any ROMs or tricks to overcome this?
Is it possible to quickly customise a ROM so that a 'volume down + up' would be interpreted as a power button?
Thanks,
Gin
The "power on" function is "physically" bound to the power button, so you cannot use other buttons. It's like using some Windows app to power the computer up by clicking a mouse button.
You can however connect it to a pc so it will start to charge and hold vol-, so you get into fastboot mode and can do "fastboot reboot"
Thanks for the reply.
Hm, I thought fast boot requires Volume + Power combination. Didn't work for me.
WIll take it to the repair shop tomorrow. Hopefully I haven't managed to mess it up completely.

if its turned off, connect into pc pressing volume down, then open a cmd on your pc and use fastboot reboot.
then setup volume rocker wake (a lot of roms supports this, incl some xposed mods if you use xposed)
@ginsul
What others have mentioned will work.
I will break it down.
1. Plug the phone via USB to a PC.
2. On plugging press and hold volume down.
3. The phone will now to bootloader.
4. Let it be that way and move to PC.
5. Open cmd.
6. Type in "fastboot reboot"
7. Phone will reboot from bootloader to system and you will get to Android OS.
8. Look for a way to awake the phone with the volume keys, it's totally doable.
N. Go to an LG svc and get the button only replaced, they do it here in India for around 5USD and it makes you feel a lot better.
Update: playstore has a lot of apps doing the volume wake thing.
If you can't find fastboot mentioned in step 6, then Google and download "fastboot Android". Navigate to the download dir and then try step 6.
Cheers
It really works! )
OSX couldn't find the device. Tried on Ubuntu - worked flawlessly.
Brought it to a usable state with Gravity Screen. Just need to be careful with the battery levels.
Thanks!
Here are the modes for the LG K3 VS450
Factory Data Reset - Power off phone. Hold down volume up button. While holding the button down press the power button and hold it then while holding it when the LG logo pops up let go for a quarter of a second then hold down again on the power button. You will enter Factory Data Reset Mode. This is your typical LG Reset Mode (one on a white background) and has 2 options.. yes or no.
Advanced Recovery - Power off phone. Remove battery from phone. Replace battery in phone. Hold volume down + power button at the same time. You should see a message saying "Recovery Mode loading... " when you do let go of the buttons. You will enter the Advanced Recovery mode. This is your typical Android Recovery with many options.
Download Mode - Power off phone. Hold volume up button. While holding volume up button plug your data cable into your computer. You will enter Download mode. This is your typical LG download mode.
Safe Mode - Power off phone. Hold down volume down button. While holding the button down press the power button and hold it until you boot up. You will enter Safe Mode. This is your typical LG Safe Mode. It shows safe mode at the bottom left of your screen and can be exited easily by selecting exit from the notifications menu. On some LG's it will require a reboot others it wont.
IMEI Display - Plug phone into computer via data cable. Turn phone off. Remove battery from phone and replace it. Hold down volume up + volume down + power button. After the LG logo you will see a white image pop up make sure to quickly let go of the buttons. You are now staring at IMEI Display. I do not know if this is normal for all LG's or not but I would imagine so. I do not know what it is for either other than perhaps something industry related? Test modes? Etc. I will research and try to find out. I have an industry level barcode reader and software so when I get time I will read the barcodes and see what data I can get. I will also try to replicate on other LG's here.
