My Galaxy S3 currently has the boot loop problem and in addition to that my volume up key is broken, so all the usual methods to fix it won't work. Does anyone have an Idea what I can do?

Well, if your volume up key is broken then I think you need to take your device to the nearest dealer as we can't help you out if your volume up key isn't working.

Hey Jonas!
Try pulling the SD card and battery and then replace the battery. Reboot a few times and reinserted the SD card. Reopen the Gallery and Camera to make sure the settings went back to the SD card.
The normal courses of action, like wiping cache both in hardware and os modes, reapplying firmware upgrade via ODIN, pulling the battery and leaving out before reinstalling and rebooting, turning off the lock screen security, disabling proximity sensor may not work for you, but pullin the SD card and booting without might!
