I'm thinking like this... connect the phone to your pc. I am also assuming you have CWM recovery.
Then:
-transfer a stock rom from here on your sd storage (make sure it's for your model)
-get ROM Manager and search inside it for a "reboot into recovery" option, or use any app that does that.
The phone is now in recovery
-at this point, you navigate like this: back button goes back, home goes to main screen in CWM, menu goes to the next selection in the menu and search selects the item. The idea is that instead of power button, you can use the SEARCH button. Volume buttons are working for you, as you've said.
-now select install zip from sdcard->choose zip->select your stock rom and it should flash everything, including stock recovery.
-now connect your phone again to the pc, and open a command prompt.(again usb debugging must be checked)
-type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
(Thanks simms22)
Now, you should be good to go. I'd also be careful about the screen turning off when you're back on stock, with a broken power button... don't let it do that!
dont forget to relock the bootloader.. fastboot oem lock

My power button is broken so I need to take my phone in to get it replaced. Following the instructions to get it unrooted/return to stock, I need my phone to be recognized in fastboot. It's not happening; I've tried it on three PC's and none of them even see a device connected. It's not even a matter of drivers because when I'm in fastboot it's like nothing is connected at all.
I can't use my volume buttons in fastboot, basicaly I can't do anything at all in fastboot...no volume buttons, no power button and it can't be recognized.
Volume buttons work when phone is turned on. I can do anything I want in recovery or when the phone is up, but in fastboot I can't do anything.
Someone please help!!
By the way, ADB works perfectly but obviously fastboot does not because my PC thinks nothing is connected when fastboot is up on my phone and as I mentioned, my phone is completely unresponsive to anything that I do when I'm in fastboot. I can't use the "volume up/volume down" and tap the power button to get into downloading mode either because MY STUPID POWER BUTTON IS BROKEN!!!
Thank you again in advance....you will be my hero if you can help me with this!!!

I have tried that so much I think I'm going to break my phone.
I just need someway to return this phone to stock without expecting fastboot to work because it seems like it is unresponsive since the power button is not working. I know this sounds weird as heck but I have all the correct drivers installed but three different computers don't see any kind of usb device connected when the phone is in fastboot. I sincerely believe it's because while in fastboot my messed up powerbutton is screwing it up because it's thinking that the power button is held down the entire time.
If anyone has any ideas on how I can get back to stock please tell me. I have 100% access on my phone when it's in recovery because I can use the buttons at the bottom and I have 100% access when it's fully booted up but when it's in fastboot I can't do anything and no computer even sees a USB device connected to it.
Pleaseeee help!!

i believe that my phone thinks my power button is always pressed down too, but fastboot works here. my suggestion is that you try a different usb chord. i had an usb chord that i could charge with fine, but nothing else worked. i thought my nexus one was messed up until i tried another usb chord.

I tried 3 cords, I'm going crazy here! USB works perfect everywhere but both fastboot and recovery don't let me use my volume or power buttons...at least I can get by in recovery because of the capacitve buttons but I need fastboot to return to stock to get a new phone. I am so frustrated!!!!

have you tried pdanets website? http://junefabrics.com/android/
go there, download the free download and install it to youre computer. its tethering software. but thats not why you should try it. follow the on screen instructions after its installed and itll install the proper latest drivers for your phone. theres a chance your drivers might be out of date.
oh yeah. Used pdanet drivers and Google drivers. No luck with either. I can adb with both but like I said the deicer is not the issue it's that fastboot is totally unresponsive so it looks like nothing is connected to the pc

Find an Odin package. Put phone into download mode by installing battery, holding volume buttons while connected to USB.
Does anyone know if the 301k ohm resistor jig works for ns?

ODIN doesn't work because of the gosh darn power button being broken.
I went kinda crazy and erased everything in recovery so now all the phone does is boot straight into fast boot. I deleted the boot.img recovery everything, hahahaha (I laugh but really I'm crying inside).
I need a fix ASAP, I'm officially out of a phone.

Wow, this actually worked for me Thanks Simms!
I just got stuck in the same situation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22884288&postcount=24) so I kept tapping the back of my phone (with the back cover off). Fastboot kept restarting at first, but then my volume keys started allowing me to change options. I selected recovery and nandroid restored my phone. Now all is well *wipes brow*
Funny thing is, my power button now works properly again (it hasn't been working for the past week)

Pls can someone find us guys a solution.:crying:

I had a broken power button and had the same problem. I just sent it back to Samsung with no ROM on it and they fixed the power button and put Gingerbread back on it even though I had voided my warranty by unlocking the bootloader ;')

Mine broke when I installed Jelly Bean. Something fishy is going on. Now I have the same issue as OP.
Here's the problem..my Nexus S power button isn't working, so I was using other hardware keys to shut down, turn on and such. Now I got into a problem. I installed chainfire3d drivers and now the phone won't boot and since my power button is broken, I can't access recovery. I can get into fastboot but the volume up/volume down buttons won't work so I can't select the option "RECOVERY" plus my PC doesn't recognize that my phone is in fastboot (I'm using Windows 8, 64bit.)
Can someone help me with this, if it's possible? How do I get into recovery?
Thank you in advance.

There might be several solutions to your problem. According to what youve written it seems that the powerbutton is stuck in the "ON" position, right? Meaning that the phone turns on when you insert the battery. It would also mean that in bootloader you cant select anything because the powerbutton is "pressed". Sadly if this is the case, having properly working drivers wouldnt help since phone wont be detected until the powerbutton is in the "OFF" position.
Case 1: powerbutton in "ON" position
Solution 1: Send your phone to repair. Sadly you will have to pay for that since your warranty is void (unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty as far as i know". Having the button unstuck would allow you to choose recovery with volume buttons and accept with power.
Solution 2: Since your warranty is void, do it yourself. NS disassembly is quite easy and theres nothing to be afraid of. In this case theres just some dust so once you také it appart and clean the powerbutton it should work again. Having the button unstuck would allow you to choose recovery with volume buttons and accept with power.
Case 2: powerbutton in "OFF" position
There are plenty of tutorials around here on getting drivers to work. General advice would be reinstall the drivers, try different ports, try to do it from other computer.
Hope this helps, good luck

Hey, thanks for the help, much appreciated. I'll try to open the case and clean the power button if possible and see if it's gonna work then.
On the other note, after 3 hours of searching I finally found the right solution. When on the Google screen, Windows recognized the phone as "Nexus". I clicked on it in device manager and installed Android ADB interface driver (which I downloaded via SDK manager). Windows then recognized the device in cmd via adb and I could reboot into recovery with the command "adb reboot recovery".
What a relief! :victory:

Well I'm just..brilliant to say the least. After I fixed everything I tried to install the Chainfire3D driver again, this time with no EGL and well, same thing happened, no boot.

I can get into the fastboot menu, but I can't use the volume up/down buttons and I don't think that my computer recognizes the device in fastboot at all, because of the broken power button. If you could help me somehow, then I would really be in your debt.

Asking for it aren't you?
Chainfire isn't compatible with Jellybean. Seriously.
Google-file CD Gadget USB Device is what becomes detected as "Nexus" later in the boot process. Have you tired detecting devices with adb devices?

Yeah...learned it the hard way..I'm too stubborn sometimes. Chainfire3D actually worked on CM10 on the Optimus Black, seems like here it wasn't the case..
Anyway, about that, yeah, I did and it doesn't detect it. Can I somehow turn the CD gadget USB device back into Nexus, like it was before or?

Make sure your phone is connected to your PC. Then hold VOL down and press power if I recall correctly. It might be both volume keys together that you hold, but either way you need to make sure you phone is connected to your computer.

if your phone boots into a black screen its not hardbricked, hardbricked means it wont turn on at all and you have no indicators

You may need to uncheck usb debugging in developer options then reboot and go in and check usb debugging again then try adb tools using adb devices and see if it works then. Some m8's can be a real pain that way you just need to keep trying.

I would run the newest ruu that dottat has posted in the android development section for this phone, put it on your sd card using your computer, then put it back in your phone and boot to fastboot and let it pick it up and hit I believe it is yes and it will restore your phone. You are on 4.4.4 right ? If you are having problems getting to fastboot hold power and volume up until you see the lights change and or it vibrate then quickly switch to power and volume down and it should take you to fastboot, it may take you multiple tries to get it there. This sounds like the screen of death issues people have had on viperone which the fix for that so far has been to reverse the 4g handoff fix as most people that have the sod they had used the 4g handoff fix but if you cant get past the black screen then you cant do the fix for that. Have you tried leaving your phone sit for a while to see if it comes out of it ? Also most people only had that issue in weak signal areas so a good signal area could get your screen working again if you had done the 4g handoff fix. If you did some have said that the change can stick even through a ruu, but I cannot verify that either way.
Can I say I'm having an almost same problem.
I wiped my phone in prep of loading a new rom.
RUU the firmware for 4.4.4
Loaded twrp
and then it rebooted to the htc screen.
Now I can't get past that screen. I can hard reboot but it only comes back to that screen. and if I try to access it through the computer it can't load the driver so that I can sideload.
Help please

it's tricky to get it back to hboot... but you can with practice. Hold power a both volume buttons until you think it finally has rebooted. Switch to only holding vol down to enter hboot. Timing and practice makes perfect.
It took about an hour of trying. But I did it. Plus I had to do a few other things to get things remounted.

Once I was back in recovery I reformatted before rebooting and then from recovery I installed the rom.

I agree with Dottat, faced the same issue when trying to flash ARHD 22.1 on my Verizon M8. I think I sprayed some **** in my pants with that loud fart .
After trying several times I got the trick and could get into Hboot. The issue I think was I was holding Power + Volume up & down for more than required time and it Rebooted. We need to Switch Off the device by Holding Power + Volume UP & Down button for about 8-10 secs and then just remove the finger from Volume UP button. It takes you to Hboot mode..
Hi,
I have a problem with my Nexus 5, it bootloop on the Google Logo
I try to put a little piece of paper behind the power button and also to click on the power button a lot of times during the boot but it still stuck..
What can I do to try fix it ?
Thanks in advance
is this the kind of bootloop where it loops because of a stuck power button or is it a software based bootloop?

that happened to my old ativ s as well, it was due to a broken power button (electrically stuck, not mechanically) the only solution for me was to solder a new power button on it. But I just used it as an excuse to get a new phone.

I haven't, it may be very hard depending on the phone model, I just removed it with pliers so I could boot it with a usb cable and I got all the data I needed from my phone.
Can you get your phone into recovery or fastboot mode?

I haven't, it may be very hard depending on the phone model, I just removed it with pliers so I could boot it with a usb cable and I got all the data I needed from my phone.
Can you get your phone into recovery or fastboot mode?

So I try to unsolder the power button and now the phone didn't bootloop anymore. Now I'm waiting the new power button I ordered to see.
And to answer your question, I was not able to reach fastboot or the recovery

if you install gravitybox and xposed there should be an option to turn on the screen with the volume buttons (I'm not sure though, it might have been another module) so you could use that as a temporary solution.

with phone turned off, (you can remove the battery and re plug it), hold the volume down button and connect it to the wall charger(do not use PC,it will trigger lg download mode), then you will be able to go to fastboot.
Once there you can:
fastboot reboot to boot to normal OS
fastboot boot twrp so you can install a rom or any other mod

So I try to push volume down and connecting the charger. I reach the fastboot menu but I can't select "start" or something else because without power button I can't validate my choice..

as i said, you need a computer once you reach fastboot mode, to send the commands.
fastboot reboot - to boot into normal OS
fastboot boot twrp - to boot twrp

Oh i didn't understand, thanks a lot it's working
Now I'm just waiting my new power button
i had this **** sorry for swearing i thought its something with my ROM CM13 Nightly I tried the repair service they said that they changed the power button no data was deleted so its probably the button but some one had a guide how to get the phone out that **** using your PC and manual ADB commands ( No program command line only )
I need help with this issue
when this problem reached me it was a meter of replacing the power button itself (it's like stuck there) by the way my phone was still under warranty so they changed it for me
