Stuck at boot screen and volume down button broken

[JustusIV]

Yeah.... so my volume down button is broken and i decided to flash something that didnt boot.
Ideas? Is there any other way to get into fastboot besides the volume down + power?

what exactly do you mean by volume down broken, as in literally broken??

Do you have sdk on your computer, if you don't put it on your computer and I will tell you how to use ADB commands to reboot and do a miriad of other things. go toward the bottom of the page and look for "SDK Tools Only" and download the package for your computer. Sending you a PM so you can get a hold of me on hangouts

If you don't want to do that (and you really should) titanium backup has a reboot to recovery feature on it, open menu and it's in there

Uhm... Sounds to me like to phone doesn't boot up at all. Gonna be difficult to use ADB or an app to boot into bootloader or recovery if you can't start the phone.

We got lucky and the volume button started working long enough for me to get into fastboot.
The volume button broken issue comes and goes.....
