So the other night, my power button literally stopped working. I called Verizon and requested another device to be sent to me, but now I have to return this thing to stock before I send it back. I've tried to Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit by Wug, but my device won't show up. I can't get into bootloader mode because my power button won't work!!
Is there anything else I can do?

Is your phone on? Just use adb's command "adb reboot bootloader". If your phone is off, I don't know how you can turn it on without a power button.

connect to your computer and use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
when you finally need to power it off to send it in, just pull the battery.
adb won't recognize my device. =/ It's stuck off.
You shouldn't have to worry then because they won't be able to turn it on either. lol

Do you get some sort of animation when it's plugged into the charger?
if its on
open terminal and type:
su
reboot bootloader
if its off use a usb jig to get into odin mode

Uh.. Yeah they will. The physical power button isn't working but as they unscrew the Galaxy nexus they can trigger the mechanic to power the phone on. And then just replace the button and reflash it to stock and then resell the phone.
If they see that the device was already bootloader unlocked, don't be surprised to see additional charges on your next bill.

Have you tried the GN Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
If i remember correct, when the phone is ON, you can connect the phone, then reboot it with the GN toolkit to bootloader and install stock.
I think that could solve your problem
Take the battery out, plug the phone in, and then replace the battery. See if it will power up by itself.

Things I have tried:
GN Rootkit (adb/fastboot won't recognize device)
Plugging phone into computer and restarting computer
Draining battery and allowing to charge in phone until enough juice to turn on automatically
Plugging phone in with no battery
Nothing will work. Never tried a USB jig. Guess I will order one and see if that helps. Never used one before but I guess a google search will help. Guess I'll call Verizon and ask them to extend my return period before they bill me for the device.
Tried the naked drivers?

i highly doubt they will send the verizon police to repossess the replacement for when the find the unlocked bootloader.
you can send it in rooted
I had Verizon replace my last phone with Asurion insurance because of a blown speaker. The phone was running Cyanogen. There was no problem.
To be clear:
1. The phone was CLEARLY running Cyanogen because it powered on, showed the CM7 boot animation, and worked perfectly
2. They never called me, hassled me, or anything. Just credited my account.
good luck
Got into Odin mode, but no options to reboot. Just says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" The only option displayed is "Start" but I'd have to use the power button to select it (can't do that lol). What can I do from Odin?
Well, pretty sure I just hard-bricked it, so whatever.
Downloaded this: i9250xx_itl41f_fl.zip
and ran it while the phone was connected to the computer in odin mode.
Was kind of distracted by gf and didn't verify that it was for CDMA. I guess its GSM only. Anyways, now the jig won't bring up Odin mode, and I have an imagine of a phone connected to a monitor with a yellow exclaimation triangle between the two.
Guess that's it.
Found a CMDA odin image. gonna try to flash this. didnt realize you needed Odin3 too, lol. Will let you guys know how it worked..
Image worked. Back to stock 4.0.2. I suppose that means it's unrooted. Used the GN Rootkit to relock bootloader. I don't know if stock recovery is installed or not, though. I tried to reboot into recovery using the rootkit, but i just got a red triangle. Any ideas?
I went to flash a kernel via fast boot it was going all good till i tried to boot it up since then ive tried 3 computers they dosent recognise it the charger won't charge it wont go into fastboot and the only thing it dies is vibrate and show blank screen it dosent show any light from the power switch not even a red one any fixes i no about Alejandrissimo but idk if he can fix this one I think my play is dead does anyone have anything I could do and if I took it the pace I got it from what would they say would they repair it or what or maybe replace it on the spot the bootloader was unlocked BTW running ics

Use flashtool to restore to default firmware. Then re try
IMO it is not bricked, BUT you need to reflash the kernel or flash a different kernel. not sure if this applies to the R800 but do you have a charge only cable?

Did you download the proper ftf file for your phone and place it in the "firmware" folder?
This happened to me. Get flash tool and do not connect t until it prompts you. So select the file you wanna flash and such and at the end then connect your phone itll work. Just take your battery out each time you fail to make sure your phone is off. Believe me I was worried to but for some reason that trick worked.

I know you mentioned Alejandrissimo, so I just want to ask, how long did it take for him to get your Google Talk invite? I contacted him by the website and it told me that it cost 24 USD and to add him on Google Talk, I sent him $24 through paypal, the transaction completed according to the site so I'm sure he got it, but I've been waiting on Google Talk for about 3 hours now. I'm sure he's probably busy right now though. Just curious.
Okay, but the computer doesn't recognize the PHONE!
When I connect the phone to the computer, the LED flashes red and the computer says there is something plugged, but not identified, preventing the flash boot.
Now i can connect the phone to the PC, but only lights up the green LED (charging, i guess), even if i hold the "back" or the "search" button while plugging the USB.
This LED is the only proof of, at least, it is receiving energy.

FINALLY. Your advice worked. I did the same thing the OP did, flashed a kernal from cm9. I couldn't even get the charger to recognize or do anything. After taking battery out and starting flashtool process first, It took 4 times with flashtool. Thanks again.

It is not working for me. Could you guys give some more details of how you did it? I have tried already like 15 times and no luck. Also, is it happening to you guys that the phone will ONLY go into flashmode? I can flash anything into it but it will not boot, it will just stay in flashmode.
What I am doing is basically have the phone without battery and then start flashtool until it asks me to connect the phone. At that point I place the battery and connect the phone to the usb without pressing the BACK key, as it is not needed in my phone. Once the flashing is done, the phone goes into flashmode again.
Did this happen to you too?
Cesarramson,
Yep, sounds familiar. Is your phone unlocked? Is it r800x or another?

So I was using Mobile Odin because I was selling my device and the person didn't want AOKP on it so I went and did what i did on my wife's S3 and used mobile odine to flash stock JB TW (Latest update), for some reason when I did mine, after checking the MD5 the phone said it was all good then it was going to start and after it started the phone when to boot up (im guessing) and nothing happened after this, now my device wont go to DL mode or recovery when I try to use any of the finger combos to go into either of this modes.
As a matter of fact when I press the PWR the device does absolutely nothing..
Any helo is appreciated.
Thanks.

Doesn't sound good at all, might need a jtag. I used Mobile Odin just yesterday to go back to stock from AoCP. No problems whatsoever. I did flash stock 3e recovery before flashing the firmware, not sure if that helped.
When you plug it in does the charging indicator show up? (asking this to see if there are any signs of life, and also in the unlikely event that the problem is a dead battery...)

Yeah when I plug it in to charge nothing happens, not even the LED lights up, I even put my battery on my wifes GS3 and it has like 40% left on battery and it powered on my wifes phone.
So last night I was rooting a Kindle Fire 2. It's running 10.2.6. I was following a tutorial on this forum and I succeeded in rooting it. I flashed TWRP on it, but for some reason that didn't work. I tried booting to recovery and got a red triangle with an exclamation point inside it. It said it failed to boot. The device still worked at that point during the install. It was low on battery, though I had it plugged into my laptop. I was in fastboot and the device stopped receiving commands from it for some reason (I wasn't able to figure out why). Then the battery died. I guess a laptop usb port doesn't properly charge a tablet. But anyways, I plugged it into a wall charger for a couple hours and now it won't turn on. When I plugged it in, a charging light never came on. I used this same charger earlier in the evening and it charge the Kindle with no issues whatsoever, so I know it isn't the charger or cable failing to charge the device.
So here is where I stand:
When it died, it would still successfully boot
I was in fastboot when it died
Fastboot would not take commands from my laptop, whereas it had before I tried flashing TWRP (by that I mean when I try to send commands via the command line, it would simply say <waiting for device>)
The device is successfully rooted and bootloader unlocked
I've tried pulling the battery; I've tried holding the power button for 20 seconds, for 30 seconds and for short periods of time; I've tried any possible command from the computer. I haven't tried a factory cable because I don't have one. What do I do now?

Other than voiding the warranty since you opened the device... And removed a battery not meant to be removed? Naaaah
You should NEVER have to pull the battery on ANY android device.
Edit: couple more things
1. As long as you are USING the device it won't charge on USB to PC. Always better to charge off a wall outlet. MUCH faster charging too.
2. NEVER flash a ROM if your battery is low.

When the bootloader was unlocked, the warranty was voided. That's not an issue to me.
I've found that pulling a battery is a perfectly valid way to reboot a device, if nothing else will work, but I always consider it a last resort.
Ah ok. I didn't know that. I'm familiar with phones, so tablets are still new to me.

But the bootloader wasn't technically unlocked AND you could restore back to stock or whatever for replacement if necessary.
Phones are the same way. You can always hold the power button for a hard shutdown or reboot. The only reason i don't recommend it on the kf is that its a sealed device. Sure, if the battery dies, replace it. But anyway.. Not trying to be argumentative bro lol. Sorry cant really help though.

Well. I'm pretty sure the FFF boot loader is inserted AFTER the actual boot loader by using the stack exploit. If this isn't 100% correct, please correct me of I'm wrong.
I would try the factory cable though.. See if you can get one from SKORPN.

I did factory reset, then flashed the bootstack, then flashed the system. But after that, my phone won't power on. I tried to remove the battery, holding power button for a long time, or power+volumn down.
The phone just does not respond at all. Can anybody help? Thanks!

when I had that problem I figured out that it was the battery that was making the phone act weird. Since LG sent me another battery when they had the promotion I used the other spare and that fixed it for me.
This happens right after I flashed the new system, I doubt it is the batter problem. If I plugged into the computer it still won't power on.
(If I remove the battery and plug into computer, the screen of the phone does show some symbol, probably regarding missing memory).
Let me try to see if I use kdz flash to reinstall the system. Thanks for the help.

This is why You don't flash the boot chain unless you absolutely must. I was running 20B with the old boot chain (other than rpm, that was updated) and it ran just fine. If you get a bad flash on the boot chain your sol.
