No the battery was about 90% and my charger works with my hd2 ^^
Don't boot, no charging light and just a sound when I put the usb cable to computer with a driver installation fail : QHSUSB_dload, and this too in device manager on windows !

Try volume down + power button for ten seconds or so, then release the volume button and press it again shortly but keep the power button down. This always works for me!

Yes I know but I have try that too, capacitive buttons flash don't works, so I think my phone is briked, I know the hard reset and reboot method, but here...don't works :crying:
So, do you think I must send it to repair center and hope to have a S4 model or I wait for battery totally discharge and put the charger on and try again to boot ?

The phone can't just brick, try and try until it boots

Any luck? My phone just randomly did this....

This exact thing happened to me. I think there might be a bug with the phones
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

The way I noticed that it triggers it is downloading a huge file 100mb or higher and while that file downloads deleting another file just as big. The phone will shut off and after that no led light turns on and can't restart it or anything

First of all thank you very much for helping me in this problem, the phone does not turn on when I press power and also when I press power and volume down and the LED does not turn on when I put it to charge. What you charge the battery overnight and also now not even turn on. What if I've noticed is that despite not firing when I connect the phone via USB to the computer the computer detects the phone and asks me to install drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD. Before that I had damaged the ROM installed Nocturnal special edition / audio edition of KANLESS. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks
You must of flashed a diff Rom that's not for our phone let's mot try to put any blame on magical and his good Rom

If your phone won't charge, and in Qualcomm download mode, you are pretty much screwed.

I'm guessing you flashed something before Nocturnal and then went to Nocturnal after it messed up your phone. Your phone is bricked (QHSUSB tell us that), but Nocturnal wouldn't have done that.

Yeah, from what I understand, Qualcomm download mode means that hboot has been overwritten or otherwise damaged. Usually that is a result of flashing a ROM or recovery meant for another device. Flashing the "correct" ROMs does not touch hboot.
Did you flash any other ROMs, and what recovery were you using?
just plug the phone into the wall for a few hours then PM me. Its not any rom, no rom or recovery will do this to a phone. I'm sure its something very simple.
"QHSUSB_DLOAD" is basically a "panic mode" that the CPU goes into when it can't find a bootloader. So somehow or another you corrupted it.
There is a way to fix this using Linux, but I believe the phone has to have a charge.
Just search the S-Off thread, I remember someone mentioning how to do it there.

[Q] Can you break download mode? I think my Skyrocket is FUBAR :[

I flashed the stable CM10 and everything was ok.
Then I flashed 4.2 gapps and set some alarms.
Now the phone is in a boot loop so I try to return it to stock with Odin and when I get to download mode I click Vol Up to get in and I see Andy the Android for a split second before I get a sort of Blue Screen.
I'm wondering if I broke download mode somehow. Is there a fix for this?
I'm shoving the battery in, pressing the two volume keys, letting go when I see the download screen, hitting Vol Up to accept, then the phone reboots as Andy pops up.
Note: even when I don't accept download mode the screen will go blue and restart the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Well I don't think it's the power button because I don't think I could get to Download mode with the power button being pressed.
Here's a video of what's happening:

That's a pretty guick sequence. So are you inserting the battery then hold down the buttons then inserting the cable.?
Maybe give the electrons a chance to flow into the circuits!

Yes. It had to be quick. If I do it slowly it starts the boot loop.

If your phone starts to reboot you're doing something wrong. Download mode should last indefinitely. In fact you have to tell it to proceed to some other step. Re-read Vincom's instructions.
Edit : sounds to me that you are not holding down the volume buttons with the power button.

8. How To Put your device into Download Mode: (download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode)
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys then insert the USB cable into your device. (On Rogers phones It's just Vol Down.) DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL INSTRUCTED
e. When You see the screen warning you about installing a rom w/a yellow triangle RELEASE the volume key(s)
f. Now press and release the volume "up" key, you should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognising your phone. -See Pics Below-.

It says not to touch the power button. Is the power button a part of this? In the video I didn't hold it.
As for the sticky power button, I really don't know. I clobbered it, I listened very carefully to it. The instructions to fix it were like "hit it hard and repeatedly" or something.
When do you think I should be hitting these buttons? before the vibrate, or after? Before the Samsung logo, or after? With power button, without?
Can you hear a"click" when you press the power button?... It's not very loud but definitely a click.

Yours must be stuck in the pressed state although you say it clicks when pushed.??? Don't suppose you have any contact cleaner? Maybe a tiny drop of rubbing alcohol?

So when you take out the battery and put it back in it doesn't try to turn itself on? If you're saying you can put the battery back in it and nothing happens, then I guess the button must be stuck.

Where would I put the rubbing alcohol? Would I need to take apart the chassis/case/housing? I imagine rubbing it on the power button wouldn't do anything.
BTW, sincerely, thanks for the help.
Edit: I bashed the phone, power button first, against the table while it was booting up and I saw my boot animation for a second. I thought it was fixed so I stopped bashing and it just rebooted again.
its 99% the power button, hearing it click is no indication thats its working as its an internal problem, theres 3 links to the problem in the "info" section in the "1 stop" sticky in my sig . taking it apart to get to the internal contact is one way to fix it, maybe the only way to fix it. if phone starts as soon as you put the battery in w/out touching any buttons then its a sticky/failed power button. warranty repair is also another solution
its 1% for a battery and/or battery contact problem

S3 wont budge after root

I am not the owner of this phone.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 that was rooted using a "teamviewer" like program by a customer and an outside source. After root was "successful" the rom was flashed and the phone rebooted and shut down (as customer recalls it). This phone is running 4.08 on a wall charger through a volt meter and the battery is reading the same if not a bit less. The vibrate during start up does not occur and the lights for charging are not lit up. Any help towards getting this figured out please let me know. Appreciate the help in advance
Well when you pull the battery and put it back and then try to hold volume up, home and power dies it do anything?
Also, when plugged into pc does it ask for any drivers? I'm betting your customer installed an international version ROM and it's hard bricked.

Just to be clear, you are trying to get it to download/recovery mode from the phone being powered off right? It won't get there when its powered on and stuck at "Galaxy S III" screen. Pull the battery and hold down the button combinations until you see "Samsung" with small blue text in the upper left hand corner and as soon as the screen goes black, release the buttons.
It almost sounds like they installed a rom that needed the bootloader workaround.. in which case I'd be stumped at what's needed then, jtag...?
What rom was flashed? Any way you could provide a link or recall its name?

[Q] Fixing my Bricked Verizon S3

Hello everyone,
I'm in deep trouble with my bricked phone. Yesterday I wanted to flash Cyanogenmod 11 and I was following a video guide on how to do it. The video said to flash TWRP recovery to the phone so that's what I did. I don't believe it said anything about unlocking the bootloader at all. So what happened was I flashed the recovery and the problem said if I wanted to boot into recovery now.
It didn't because a message popped up saying "A program that i not authorized by Verizon was detected on this phone" blah blah blah. And now anytime I tried booting the phone it goes to that message. I can't boot to anything. Yesterday was able to boot into ODIN mode and thought I could flash something or at least wipe my phone completely and start from scratch. Well I went to bed and thought I could pick u from ODIN mode but now my screen won't turn on. When I press the power button, the light nor the screen turns on. Now I have no idea that to do.
Things I've tried:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU5H8NJ7vTM
I tried this twice, once yesterday with a 2 GB non class 10 SD card and the other today with a 16gb Class 10 SD card that matches my 16gb S3.
Odin doesn't recognize my phone and neither does my computer.
I think my only option is to buy a USB Jig to try to get my phone into download again. Is there anyway I can make a USB jtag jig instead of buying? Would anyone in a Verizon Store be able to help me?
I don not care about the data on my phone at all, all I want to make it work again.
Please help, thanks.
I'll stop by the Verizon Store and see if they can help.
Edit: I wasted my time...

They can't, you need to read the guides on how to fix the softbrick and read up on your device limitations. Updated S3's have locked bootloaders.

Okay I'll keep trying. What probably really bricked my phone was when I tried the fix in the video with a small SD card. I didn't watch the first where he mentions it's crucial to use a 16gb class 10 card...

Your phone isn't hard bricked, it's soft bricked, that guide won't do anything for you. If you were on 4.1.2 you need to use the appropriate file or you'll lock your bootloader.

That will work, but you don't have to go through the whole flashing boot chain process, I'd use the newer guide ThePagel wrote with the 4.1.2 tar.
You should be able to get into download mode. Power + home + volume down until the blue small text appears in the corner. Then you can let go.

Well I can't see anything because my screen won't turn on. I turn on the phone with holding down the Power + Home + Vol Down, then keep holding down Home and Vol Down, then Vol Up to get into download mode. When I plug in the cord the phone vibrates as if I turned it on again.

Strange, so you're getting into download mode but once you plug it in the phone reboots?

I can't verify that I'm getting into download because my screen is off the whole time, so I'm doing the button presses blindly. And yes it seems like it is

I think your power button is broken or the display is broken. It doesn't make sense for it to be hard bricked.

That's what the person said at the Verizon store but I don't believe it at all. The screen was perfectly fine Friday night. I didn't drop my phone at all so that the hardware could have been physically damaged.

You don't need to drop it for it to be broken, they've been known to stick. Lookup YouTube videos on how to unstick the power button.

Okay so I had the phone unplugged and without the battery overnight. I put in the battery and turn it on, phone vibrates and that's it. However, when I plug it in to be charged, now the red LED light doesn't come on and the phone vibrates repeatedly like it's in a boot loop.
How can I tell if my power button it stuck? I can feel the button depress like it should.

There's no way to easily tell, it sounds like it is though. Try to fix it and see if it fixes your phone.
