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:

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 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?
When I finish restore my back up, I reboot my phone and it get brick (JUGG 5.0)!!! I cannot even press any button to turn the screen on!! Already try with different charger, battery and sim card also!! Does someone have any idea please!!
Try the long power button press. Press the power button and hold it for like 10 seconds (Maybe more, it always feels more then 10 seconds). The phone should vibrate 3 times and then you release.
If that doesn't work, then see if you can get into download mode and get Odin to recognize your phone.
I already try, I press it nearly 1 minute, but the screen doesn't turn on!
what exactly are you doing? you were making a backup in cwm, it finished and then you rebooted?
I flash a new Rom, but I don't like it. So I use Darkside Superwipe to wipe all cache and data of that Rom so that I can do the back up. After the back up process is finished,(I see everything runs well). I reboot the phone and it gets brick.

Before you try to odin it, can you get into cwm by holding the volume up, down, and power. Release power when first samsung logo appears. stay holding vol buttons until cwm pops up. can you get into this?

You most likely are hard bricked, but you still have a slight chance to get into download mode. Not sure how you managed a brick by restoring a backup, but I'll try to help.
Ok, you are going to need the drivers for your phone. http://www.mediafire.com/file/6onrjbyd46j4lhj/T-Mobile_t989_GSII_ADB_Drivers.zip
You need odin as well, download it. http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
These links were provided by KonstantinKeller
Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and make an account. I use sammobile because it contains everything in one shot. No need to get radio and crap from other places. After you make an account go to firmware section and type t989 in the search box. download the t989uvkid. ASSUMING YOU HAVE AMERICAN T989
After you have completed the download you are going to need to unzip it with 7zip to extract the tar.
Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding buttons when the ''Warning'' appears.
Press Volume UP and start ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
Click PDA and locate the MD5 file you extracted earlier.
WAIT FOR ODIN TO RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. THE COM PORT WILL TURN YELLOW AND HAVE A NUMBER
MAKE SURE NOTHING BUT AUTO REBOOT IS CHECKED!!!!!!!
Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
phone will reboot automatically.
If you can't get the phone to be recognized try different usb ports or a different computer if you have another. This may not work at all, considering it sounds like you are hard bricked. Good luck!

You can go to the tmobile store and tell them it wont turn on. you wont need your insurance plan, the phone carries a warranty against defects for 1 year. Just play dumb and say it wont turn on and demand a new phone.

I thought you had to do the down+home+power and now when I try to do anything it wont work power button 20 sec , power+home , up/down+power+home,nothing.When i tried plug it into the computer it makes that sound when something failed to connect to the pc. When i tried holding the power button i hear the sound of the device successfully connect to the pc but when i look theres no phone on the computer and when i let go of the power button it stops. Any help would be very much appreciated and i will never do anything to risk my device being broken again...

Can you still access the download mode? If yes try to flash back a stock rom with odin.
Or remove the battery and try again to boot up in download mode.

Try a different usb slot sometimes a usb slot may malfunction I had that problem.
Also don't use a usb extender hub if you are it may screw with the voltage.
a new usb I'm sure you've heard that one but this has the least chance of working because you the s3 makes the noise which means the usb works
Try a new computer and check that you have Kies installed
Try to restart the laptop that also helps
Hope I helped you out

Unfortunately, I have this exact same problem. I'm really scared that I may have bricked my device...
The last time my phone was working, I simply updated my phone to CM10's latest update for the phone. Everything was working perfectly fine. All I did was download the latest rom from get.cm for my sgs3.
Then I read online that this new 4.1.2 rom came out. As a new member XDA won't allow me to post the link of the rom...but you can find it in the Original Development Thread of the T-Mobile SGS3. Slim-i9300-2.7.0-OFFICIAL is the name of the rom [I copied it directly].
After making a backup of my current rom, installing this rom and installing the new gapps, I rebooted the device and nothing has worked since... [this happened about 12 hours ago].
Now, when I take out the battery and plug the charger in, the notification light becomes solid red. But nothing works...I can't go into download mode, I can't go into recovery. I knew this immediately when the phone did not vibrate after me holding down the power button for a few minutes.
The red notification light only turns on when I plug in the phone when the battery is out. If I put the battery in, after a few moments it goes away. I honestly thought maybe the battery was just dead...but I left it plugged in all night and I still can't do anything with the phone.
Please, any help for me and whtnld would be much appreciated...
@OP
Did you mod the build.prop for any reason? (Google wallet maybe?)
If you did and then tried to update/install recovery through Rom Manager, it may have tried to install the wrong recovery on the wrong partition, resulting in a hard brick.

You flashed an intl rom. Hard bricked. Need JTAG repair or replace unit.
I was about to say, isn't the i9300 the intl version? the tgh-t999 is the TMOUS version.
You have to let go of the power button to get into recovery.

Easy Way to find out if it's hard bricked is to connect your phone to pc... If pc displays qhsusb - I forget what else then you are hard bricked and need to jtag fix it which should run you around 60 buxs. Sorry bud if that's the case but next time don't flash anything i9300 if you have a t999

Can you boot into download mode? Volume Down + home + power button?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Rom manager is too buggy imo. Goo manager and TWRP recovery is the way to go next time.
Today I rooted my T-999, which had been running 4.3. Used saferoot to do so, then installed SuperSU, then flashed CWMR. All reported success, and there were no immediate indications of a problem.
After a couple hours, I manually commanded the phone to reboot. It shut down, but never rebooted. I let it go a few minutes, and then tried to boot it with the power button. No luck.
I've since played around with removing the battery, plugging it in without the battery, and a couple other combinations. In all cases, the phone won't boot. No light, no recovery/bootloader, nothing at all.
Any new ideas about how to restart, what order to remove the battery, plug in, etc. that might help? THANK YOU.
After some searching, I have not been able to find a situation quite like mine. I'm sure I've just missed it -- if the new post annoys you, sorry. I need help.

I'm experiencing issues with my SGH-T989 where it will ONLY boot into ODIN Download mode. Does NOT boot into any other mode. on standard boot it will get to samsung Logo with Loading bar, the loading bar goes to (from what I can tell) 99% and freezes there for a few seconds, then it goes away and the screen blanks. nothing shows. the battery drains if I dont take the battery out I've noticed.
I've tried using Kies, it states that "this device version cannot be updated". I've tried using ODIN and it shows PASS after I've PDA the stock Firmware. I've used ODIN to install a custom recovery, as the phone seemed to not be able to access recovery before. I've tried both CWM and TWRP and neither recovery seems like it wants to work. At this point I'm left without options. I have no idea where to go from here.
Any help at all?
without Access to recovery I can not root or install from SD.
the phone is stock. I wasn't attempting to ROOT or do anything, this just happened out of the blue. put the phone in my pocket and pulled it back out not even 2 minutes later and it wouldnt boot AT ALL for 3 days. now all of a sudden I'm presented with this issue. it will boot but only in ODIN.
How are you trying to get into revovery?
Press power and volume up and down. When it vibrates, let go of power only. As soon as you see recovery splash screen....let go of volumes.
If recovery flashed successfully in Odin, this should work.
Then try a factory reset....and for good measure, wipe cache and dalvik cache as well. Phone hopefully will boot then. If Odin flashing firmware was successful.
yeah, I've tried vol down, vol up, both down + up and plugging into comp. with and without battery. Ive tried every button combination even (i know..) tried to use combinations with the bottom haptic buttons. this phone will not enter recovery. I've reflashed stock reco, cwm, twrp... flashed ICS, GB...
everything says its fine in Odin but the phone is acting as if nothing were changed. in all of the different attempts Ive tried, nothing has changed the behaviour of the phone in one way. it still has two routes; Freeze at bootlogo on standard boot, or boot into Download mode. its not user error as far as I can tell. I've also taken it apart and blew any excess dust or dirt away from the power button, as I have heard this can be caused by a gunked up or sticking power button.
I'm at a loss =\
I'm at a loss then for your next move.
There's apps that can boot into recovery. But you need root. To get root, you need recovery.
To get into phone, you need recovery, to at least try a wipe of the caches.
Something is not right for sure.
Maybe try flashing ICS firmware in Odin....if you can find one. If it boots, you have a phone. But with no recovery access....you're looking at an unrooted life with the phone.
Maybe you can use adb to reboot recovery if it recognizes phone

Yup, lol you feel my confusion and frustration with this. All I want is the phone to work again. it wont boot regardless of what OS i ODIN onto it. i have no idea what could cause this. it didn't overheat, wasn't subject to water or steam, didnt get knocked around.. I simply put the phone in my pocket and pulled it out moments later and it was like this. would purchasing a new motherboard be my best option here? I see some online for 20-30$ but me issue with that is getting a bad IMEI.
What I meant was have you tried adb to force to recovery and factory reset. If you have adb, open platform tools, hold shift and right click mouse, choose open command Window, type "adb reboot recovery" then hit enter

Yes, if a USB cable is plugged in, your phone will NOT boot into recovery mode. Odin can be hit and miss. I find Heimdall to be much more reliable with this phone. @Derpwood , pm me and I will send you instructions for flashing stock ICS in Heimdall.

But the issue still remains that the phone wont enter Recovery mode. =\ I've tried with and without USB plugged in. with and without SD cards (tried 3 different cards, 8gb, 32gb, and 64gb) tried all known button combinations to start phone. and it still just freezes after samsung Logo or goes into Download mode (with Vol + and - along with power, plugged into USB). At this point I have a new motherboard in my shopping cart on Ebay and I'm waiting to get paid. but if I can avoid dumping anything more into this phone I'd Love that.

+1 I've gotten them to boot again on the firmware upgrade has encountered an error screen, but I used Linux, JOdin3, and Heimdall. So I would think that Odin would be able to fix this. I have had more luck fixing these things on Linux though. Odin is what cashed the firmware upgrade error screen anyway after it crashed :/

Flash stock in Odin. Unplug from computer once it reboots. Hold in power and both volume buttons until you feel two vibrations in a row then hold just the volume buttons until it us past the loading bar. You should boot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset and then do a wipe cache and Dalvik cache. I had the same problem.
