My S3's power button is broken... its super sensitive and the slightest vibration make it go off.

 

 

I asked verizon for a replacement. theyre sending it. but when i have to return the device i need to get rid of cyanogenmod. but i cant get into clock work recovery because of that fucking power button.

 

 

even if use an app and click the option "boot into recovery" the vibration from the phone makes the power button activate and then it turns itself off. this is pissing me off... solutions?

I know how to flash things. I know exactly what to do to fix my phone IF my power button wasn't broken. I can't do anything on my phone. My power button doesn't work. I tried to flash stock on and the power button acted up as i started SO there is no OS on my phone. I can access stock BIOS options BUT i cannot do anything else. IT says "samsung" and doesnt go any further. No os installed on it. I'm just gonna send it into tech support and tell them i just followed phone instructions.

If you have adb access then just re flash the default rom through that.
