Ok so i ran into the infamous power button issue that causes a boot loop and charging loop. It kind of stumped me until i said screw it if i have to break the phone in the process i will.. so what i collected there are two ways to fix this which ill list below. BOTH you will have to take the Main Board out of the phone.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX 1 - AIR DUSTER METHOD - [A1]
I DID NOT FIGURE OUT THE THE FIRST FIX [AIR DUSTER FIX] SO WHO EVER FIGURE THIS ONE OUT, THANK YOU YOU WILL BE CREDITED IF I FIGURE OUT WHO IT IS. I ONLY FIGURE OUT THE SECOND FIX AND THE LAZY FIX.
Items You'll Need
A Screw Driver that fits the screws in the case (not sure exact size that i use SORRY!)
Something to separate your case (will make it a whole lot easier than using your finger nail)
Can Air Duster
STEP 1
Unscrew the the designated screws.
STEP 2
Separate the housing from the digitzer.
STEP 3
Unscrew the Main Board from the digitizer panel and gently disconnect the 4 connection ribbons.
STEP 4
Spray the air duster like crazy into the power button and it should for, if not USE FIX 2!

FIX 2 - EASY SOLDER METHOD = [B1]
This was the one i found and used... its a little more complicated but you dont really have to solder anything at all just remelt it
Items You'll Need
A Screw Driver that fits the screws in the case (not sure exact size that i use SORRY!)
Something to separate your case (will make it a whole lot easier than using your finger nail)
80%+ Rubbing Alcohol
Soldering Gun
NOTE: You might be able to skip steps 8-10 because SOMETIMES the power button will work perfectly fine without acting like it has been sticking. It worked for 2 Infuses at the repair shop i work for. But is it does still act like it sticks just remap the buttons. Its your best option.
STEP 1
Unscrew the the designated screws.
STEP 2
Separate the housing from the digitzer.
STEP 3
Unscrew the Main Board from the digitizer panel and gently disconnect the 4 connection ribbons.
STEP 4
Clean the Power Button with the rubbing alcohol with a cotton swab and push it in a few times just to clean it, MAKE SURE THE PORT IS DRY BEFORE NEXT STEP.
STEP 5
Make sure you have a fine tip on your soldering gun. Around the power button you will see 4 points that have been soldered. While applying pressure from the top of the power button just melt the solder and let it flow back and solidify on all 4 spot.
STEP 6
Re-Asseble the phone and turn on. it should fix the power button and tada your good to go. BUT if you where like me and turned into something ultra sensitive or touch, or like my friend where you have to push it really hard to get it out of looping FOLLOW THE NEXT STEPS.
STEP 7
Once the phone is on stay away from the power button and connect it via usb and make sure USB Debugging is Enabled and pull up the command prompt into AndroidSDK to be able to adb
STEP 8
In the Command Prompt type in
IF YOU CAN FIND THIS FILE YOU CAN JUST DOWNLOAD IT FROM BELOW AND EXTRACT IT. JUST PUT IT INTO YOUR PLATFORM-TOOLS FOLDER AND JUST GO TO STEP 10 AND INJECT IT.
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb pull system/usr/keylayout/aries-keypad.kl aries-keypad.kl
STEP 9
In your platform-tools folder edit the "aries-keypad.kl" in Notepad+ you will see
Code:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE
Edit the text so it looks like this
Code:
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
Save the file. This will make it so when your power button gets touch it will make it just set the volume down and not boot loop it or spam the screen on and off or turn it off.
STEP 10
In the Command Prompt type in
Code:
adb root (only if you disconected the USB from the phne)
adb remount
adb push aries-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
and restart your phone. when it turns back on the first time it will act live it phone then restart again and one it turns back on the second time it will be fixed so your volume up will turn the screen on and off and the volume down is volume up while the power button is volume down,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX 3 - LAZY FIX METHOD = [C1]
I PERSONALLY DONT CONDONE USING THIS METHOD, IT WORKED FOR MY FRIENDS INFUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED TO HIM. PERSONALLY ITS A STUPID METHOD, BUT IT WORKED.. LIKE I SAID BEFORE IF YOU DO THIS METHOD, OR ANY OF THESE METHODS I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE...
Items You'll Need
Literally Nothing
(Optional) Rubbing Alcohol and Cotton Swabs
OPTIONAL STEP
Open up the case of the phone and dip the cotton swab in the rubbing alcohol and clean around the power button and press the power button in while doing it. MAKE SURE ITS DRY BEFORE THE NEXT STEP IF YOU DO THIS.
STEP 1
Push the power button in extremely hard multiple times.
STEP 2
Slam the power button and only the power button on a hard surface multiple times till it works. If it doesnt work, stop being lazy and use a proper procedure.
