Is there a way i can root without using power button.. ?AND WITHOUT WIPING ANY DATA !

Also samsung has not been able to resolve my issue as galaxy nexus was not launched in my country..
Please help...i need my phone back :'(
Edit :
Well it Miraculously turned on !!
Now How can i root without using power button ??

Theoretically, you could unlock using OMAP flash, which won't wipe your device. You then can use adb to reboot into bootloader. Fastboot to flash a custom recovery and then to boot into the custom recovery. Flash root package.

Download from the link v5 (v7 dies not install properly)and install app, then open app and install cwm into system.
To enter recovery press the back key when you see Sony logo, it might be vol button or just try every button until you find which works on your phone

It's not bricked just stuck on bootloop.
Reflash either stock rom or if you have working fastboot then install a custom kernel that matches the Rom you tried originally.

Put the device in flashmode? Or download mode? (Hold back button or menu button? then connect the phone to the pc)
To install the boot image or stock rom?

press the menu button and plug the usb for fastboot (download mode) which indicates blue color notification.
Just tried to flash the boot.img from omega, didn't work! Still showing Sony logo and nothing further :/ But I can now go in to CWM ;D
You don't want to go to cwm. Just flash it with stock kernel (.ftf ) using flash tool. Then you'll be able to run your handset!!
Best of luck.

Man PAC is only for unlocked bootloader and it says that clearly on OP. Don't tell me its not that as I know as I did it before. Difference is I know how to fix before doing that. You need to flash stock ROM using seus. It will be fine

You can use flashtool and flash stock fw. Or if your bl unlocked, you can flash a kernel with flashtool and reflash your custom rom..

No mate your bootloader isn't unlocked as that's exactly what happens when you flash any aosp cm10 aokp etc ROMs the phone vibrates when you press power to turn on and screen is blank. Flash via seus to restore. If can get green led(flash mode) and try flsdhtool

Lol that proves to me that bootloader is locked as blue led is disabled on most carrier branded devices. Green led is flashmode. Flash tool mode choose flashmode to flash stock tft file. You need to get stock rom and put in firmware folder. Seriously though use seus update tool as it will reflash your phone

Hold power and volume up to turn off and phone will vibrate 3 times that means its off. Launch flash tool and choose flashmode then select stock ROM you wanna flash. Untick wipe data etc and connect phone when it tells you too
