BOOT LOOP can't access fastboot mode

I think I f'd up. While trying to loosen the power button, it broke off. I bypassed the switch with a screwdriver but it still boot looped.
 
Actually, the fact that it brought up the android box and arrow makes me think it may be a problem with the vol up button. Fortunately, the vol buttons and the power button are the same and I ordered 2 of them. The soldering iron should be here by tomorrow. I guess we'll see...

Who really knows at this point, it's a guessing game. I hope it gets back to normal soon
 
Thanks! Right now, I'm running into soldering issues. I removed the obvious solder but, I had previously ended up breaking off the pins in the board. The eyelets are finer than a safety pin. Researching now on how to unclog them so I can get the new switch in place.

Fixed! :) I had to do research on surface/through mount soldering. Both the power and vol up buttons were damaged. Replaced those and it works great now! Plus, I also have a jtag jig for future use. Awesome :) Thanks so much for all of your help!

I'm glad to hear it's working again! It's too bad you had to get down to the board and solder some things, but at least it works.
