I was on my iphone 4s and it randomly restarts to the apple logo. Usually this brings it back to the lockscreen in a minute or so but now it is just staying there. I have seen solutions where you just reset it by home+lockscreen button/ itunes, but i cant do this because i have a broken lock button..

You could try restoring it in iTunes. Also back in the day when I used to jailbreak, there were ways to make IPSWs which when you restored your device to would put your device in DFU mode.

It's possible you might lose the data on your phone... Hopefully you have a backup

You could also try fixing the lock button. I honestly don't know how you manage to use your phone with a broken lock button though.

One question though - is your device jailbroken? And which version of iOS are you running?

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

Hey, iSheeps be like "Apple has the best aftermarket service in the world!"

Go to an Apple store and ask them to fix it. 

Apple has to fix it right?

1.7.2...? I think you mean 7.1.2.

I'd try and get your lock button fixed, but other than that I think you're kinda screwed. I can't understand how an iPhone could be in a reboot loop without jailbreaking though. Have you ever jailbroken it? And what were you doing before you had your problem?
