Try charging the battery, could be something kept your phone awake until a full drain and now it doesn't have enough juice to boot up.

1) Try a different charger and cord.
2) Take your battery and have it tested to make sure its good.
3) Wiggle the USB connection to see if there's any looseness. It should be solid.

Well I let it charge for a few hours. But the problem starts when i put in the battery it will boot to the second samsung logo and then a little white line flashes across the bottom and it shuts off and starts vibrating. Idk if i can get into download mode im on vacation and only have my tab and my phone.

If you get to the second logo you should be able to get to recovery, see if you can get there and let it stand for a bit and if it wont crash.
Charging solved the issue at first and you managed to boot up or just got past the first samsung logo?
If after the second logo it restarts and does it all over again its definitely a stuck power button.

With the charging i was able to boot. I tryed getting into recovery and it almost does but then there's that white line that flashes and my phone turns off and vibrates until i pull the battery.

It's a really weird issue, if the line was in the middle I would say it's the crt off animation but you said it's at the bottom. If you can try getting into download mode and see if it hangs.
Any chance you can get a video of the issue and upload it?
Just in case try playing with you power key to make sure it's no the issue.

I just shut down my phone and held the power button, it gets to the second samsung logo, crt off animation and starts vibrating. So it's definitely a stuck power button, the rest is up to you, whether you play with it from the outside or take apart the device and try to clean it.
Edit: when you see this you should change your youtube title to: skyrocket stuck power button
So other people with this issue can find it.
Also vincom when you see this you should link this video in the proper location for an example to a sticky power key.
theres a couple of links in the info section from my first link in my sig which might have a solution for the op, and it does look like its definite sticky power button issue since the phone turns on by itself w/out touching the power button when reinserting the battery, and i added the video link

Okay so I got my Nexus S in December of 2011. It's worked just perfect, it's a real peach but yesterday I was trying to use it normally and it froze. Then it shut off. So I left it a few minutes and turned it on again. It starts up with the black screen with white letters that say "Google" and it never loads more so I wait with it for s few, then pull the battery and try again many, many times. Same result.
I really hope someone knows how to fix this without wiping the phone. Please Help!

Hi, My phone suddenly went into a bootloop one day a couple of weeks back. The Samsung logo would come on for a couple of seconds and then disappear. Then I tried to plug the phone in via USB and then it gave me a weird loop where the battery icon would appear with a loading sign and then disappear.
I searched a lot of threads and some of them pointed towards a solution via a USB Jig. I ordered one and plugged it in following instructions.
On the screen, I could see the downloading sign with "Do Not Turn Off Target" under it. But this screen would also just flash for a couple of seconds and then go on a loop.
Any advice will be much appreciated! It's kind of a desperate situation because the phone is no longer under warranty.
Thank you!
I made a video because the problem is kind of hard to visualize but I'm not allowed to post it here yet.
Jig is used to put the phone to DL once u see the triangle sclcreen u have to remove the jig from the port u don't have to leave it in.
U have jig just put the phone in download mode and flash it with Odin or heimdall.
Download the paakge from here which fits ur needs and flash.

Not always the case. It was looping before, and there have been other cases when a faulty power button (or dirty contact) was the cause. So, as mg posted, let's wait and hear back from the OP to know for sure.

Yep, that def sounds like a hardware problem:crying:
Thanks for your response guys.
I inserted the USB Jig and removed it as soon as the 'Downloading' screen came on but it did not help. It went into a bootloop where it flashed the Samsung sign over and over again.
At this point I'm thinking it's just a hardware problem too. I did not flash anything on it, bought it on craigslist and everything woked fine for 5 months and then the phone just went kaput.
Any place I could buy an Infuse for parts on the cheap? Or am I just waging a lost battle?

I seem to have a strange problem. My Skyrocket does not want to stay off. I power down the phone, and it comes back up on its own immediately. I've tried this with and without charger connected. I had this problem on Embryo 5.4, and now also on 6.1. Right now, my only option when I need the phone to stay off (like when traveling by air, which I do often) is to take the battery out. The second I put the battery back in, the phone boots up.
Could anyone help me out here?
I tried searching the forum for similar issues, but could not find any. But in case I've missed a thread, feel free to start the flaming .
Thanks in advance for any help.

Need some help here...been running AOKP unofficial just fine for a while then all of a sudden my phone starts acting crazy and the flash will go off and then start vibrating and try to reboot, then it kinda gets stuck in a mini boot loop. I have to hold down the power button to get it to fully reboot properly. So i thought it might be a bad app. I uninstalled some apps and it kept doing it. So I wiped and installed the latest AOKP unofficial rom. it did it a couple of times even with no apps on the phone. One thing ive also notice is when I push the power button to sleep/lock, It comes right back on to the lockscreen...Thoughts?

if you read the sticky [REF] |Read This b4 posting | THE MOST Common Questions Answered HERE you might of found your answer
24) Q. i tried "name of custom rom here" but a feature of the phone doesnt work , eg. camera
A. read the thread for the rom to see if the dev states any issues, read users feedback if they have/mention said feature not working, eg camera, if no, did it work when on stock or return to stock to see if said function/hardware works, if said function works on stock and users of rom states that it does work, then its usually user error, what error? idk, you need to troubleshoot.
32) Q. why does my phone bootloop every few seconds
A. could be a "sticky power button", read the next question and the info section in the 1STOP STICKY
33) Q. how do i test for a stuck "sticky" power button
A. TEST: remove then reinsert the battery and if the phone turns on by itself and then takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and then starts vibrating every couple of seconds then its for sure a power button problem, its stuck, goto the link in the previous answer for a possible fix

if any of the above didn't get results or fix the issue then it could be a hw failure
Except it's not bootlooping I did read this I wouldn't have asked the question if that was the problem. The screen doesn't come on at all just get a small vibration when holding the power button then nothing pull battery put back in push power same thing.

if the pulling battery test resulted in "turns on by itself and then takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and then starts vibrating every couple of seconds " then its a stuck button, bootloop/vibrating every couple of sec's are synonymous, but I will reword the sticky to state both
edit: the key thing you need to establish is if reinserting the battery restarts the phone w/out u touching the power button, if so then the button is stuck. if it didn't restart then return to stock and see if it corrected the issue( I guess that would be hard todo if the phone only restarts/vibrates every 2 seconds), if not then its some hw failure or could even be a battery prob
I reedited the sticky to be more concise on the issue and the testing for the stuck power button
No it doesn't boot by itself when reinserting the battery. Sorry I'm Utah and the phone is in Texas. computer doesn't recognize anything when plugging in either. Using logmein to watch his computer while he's doing this. I do appreciate the help

I figured as such that it might have something todo w/the battery,either it was flaky or not charged or cannot be charged which could also be with the charger and/or cable or bad battery contacts. I haven't seen a phone behave in the way you described other than a bad power button, if you ruled out all the known issues as stated in my previous posts then it would have to be a hw issue but hopefully it was just a bad power adapter, usually the first thing a user would do is rule out a dead battery before seeing what else could be wrong with the phone
