Bootloop, nothing works. Please help!!

I have been running Zeus Rom for months now and everything has been fine. Until today. I was just on my phone today and it cut off. Then it went into a boot loop. Won't go past the Samsung screen. I can't find any solution to get the phone into download mode. I have read everything. Switched computers, tried different ports and even switched usb cords. Even tried several combinations of buttons to no avail.
Here is what happens when I try to get into download mode:
I hold down up and down volume, insert battery and then plug in usb cord. I see a spinning wheel and empty battery sign. Then it cuts right back off and does it all over again. Could this be a battery issue or what?
My phone has been bricked before I fixed it with no problems. This has got me stumped. Something is preventing me from getting into download mode and keeping me in boot loop.

To get to download mode, be sure to plug in USB before putting the battery in, and keep holding down the volume buttons down for some time.
If the battery isn't showing a charge, though, then let it charge. If it isn't charging, try another cable, and then maybe a new battery.

Tried another battery I had, not fully charged, and the first time I put it in the bottom buttons lit up and the phone booted up, only to cut back off and do the same thing again with the boot loops. It too showed this battery to be completley dead. I am not sure if that is so or not as I have't used this battery in a while.
I am charging both batteries now to try to get them charged. I have one in a wall charger and hte other in the phone plugged into the wall. The one in the phone is still showing no charge as the phone keeps cutting on and off and showing the battery sign witha spinning circle.
I have no idea whats going on but need to find out soon!

You dont have to plug it in before puting the battery in...i never do...
How i get in download
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up + down simutaniously
4) while holding volume plug usb cord into phone
it sounds like he is pretty much doing it the way i do except for the volume he does before putting in battery...should work either way
Could it be a problem with your motherboard/mainboard whatever you wanna call it? When did you get the phone? If its been under a year i would file warranty with samsung...not att. If it is the mother board they probably will never even know its rooted or anything since it wont even turn on...and no software will fix it...
There still is a chance they will find out its rooted and has a custom rom on it...but i think the chances of that are highly unlikely...so i would go for warranty...

UPDATE:
This is so weird. After nothing working all day, I finally remembered something. About 15 mins before my phone started this today, I dropped my phone while getting out of my truck. I didn't think anything about because I have a double layer case on it. But this evening, I remembered that and I thought maybe that had somethign to do with it. So what else could I do? Bang the phone on the ground again. So I tapped it a few hard times on the ground and sure enough the lights on teh bottom on the phone came on and it booted up and has stayed up.
Apparently the drop this morning has done something inside the phone. Do you guys have any idea what this could be? What could dropping the phone have to do with a boot loop and what could be solved by banging it on the ground again?
Maybe it is luck, but it is working. I just feel it will happen again soon as something is wrong inside the phone.

Oh, okay, cool. I always do it how I described, so it must work either way. I was just trying to help the OP not go into the battery charging screen.
And to the OP: Bummer, it sounds like you have some busted hardware, but hopefully it will keep working now.

loose connection insider vs corrosion issue I mentioned to you earlier.
if you're under warranty, flash a stock package and warranty.
if you're not under warranty, learn how to drop your phone correctly.

Oh my god. the same thing happened to me last night. I've been searching all day trying to figure out how to fix it and I came across your post saying you just banged it on the ground a few times and it started working. I did the same thing and sure enough, it started working again! It's so weird. What I don't get is that I didn't drop my phone at all yesterday. It just did it randomly while i was texting.

Infuse will not boot ?

Hi All,
I have an issue that I can not find answers for.
My infuse has been working flawlessly from day one. I have the flashed GB OS from here and have never had any issues. Last night I plugged my infuse in to charge overnight as I always do. This morning, I went to unplug it from the charger and noticed it was not on. I held in the power button and nothing. I removed the battery for a few minutes and replaced it, and nothing. I checked the battery with a digital multi meter and it is fully charged. Replaced it back into the phone again and nothing. The phone was working right before I plugged it in last night as I was using it.
Do any of you have any ideas or can you lead me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Frank

have you tried plugging up to the computer to see if it is seen, or maybe a different battery? Can you get into CWM or dowload mode?

As Joe suggested, I guess it is a matter of determining if it's the battery or the phone. If you get a chance, going to an ATT store and having the techs swap out the batteries may help.
You can also try leaving the battery out for a few hours and then trying again.
If not, you can also try the 3 button press and try booting into recovery to see if it is still working or the whole circuit board is fried. Battery contact corrosion has also been reported as well.
If you can get into recovery, wipe the cache before rebooting.

Same exact thing happened to me but it was after I flashed a entropys kernel a few months ago. I took it to att and they tried a new battery and everything. I had to send it back to get replaced...

On some of these devices, after the battery has been pulled for an extended period of time, powering up by holding several buttons for longer than usual may restart it..idk..mostly guesses.
I would have prolly opened it also, depending on warranty.

Am I Screwed??? Please help.

I am running CleanROM 2.1 with the CleanKERNEL and AOSP Blue Mod Theme on my GS3. It is overclocked to 1.70Ghz .It has been working great for the past 3 days or so I have had it set up like this. I took the OTA before re-rooting and reunlocking and before ever putting any ROMs on the phone. I had the phone on my car charger on my way to work this morning, after draining a bunch of battry streaming F1 practice. When I got to work, I pull the phone off the charger and we inside. When I went to check my phone, it was black. And still is. The phone was working fine while on the charger, but now I can not get it to respond to anything. I have tried to reboot, reboot to recovery, pull the battery, and have it plugged in. The only thing happening is the phone becomes warm while plugged in.
I have no flashed anything for 3 days or so. I don't know what could have happened. Any thoughts?? Please help. I am kinda freaking out right now.

So you pulled the battery out, then put it back in. Then held volume up, the home button and then the power button?
What about Odin mode? Volume down, home button and the
power button?
Make sure to unplug the phone while doing this.

This happened to me a few times but with a slightly different scenario. If i tried to power up my phone, it would give a brief vibration and then show me a battery sign with a big 0 on it (green battery image). No matter what i did it wont boot up. And my battery wasn't at 0% when it happened. I was able to get into recovery and restore a backup.
In your case, check if there is any power in your battery (or borrow someone's who has an s3) and see if you are able to boot into recovery.
Hope you are able to fix it. Good Luck.

Then it might be your battery as the other person mentioned. The bettery is either bad or the device is not charging it. Have you tired different chargers as well? It can even be your charging port...
Odin mode and recovery have nothing to do with your ROM when you boot into them. If you boot into that, it boots before loading your Rom.
Go to the Verizon store and just ask if you can try their battery from the demo unti or something if you do not know anyone else with an S3.

There is guy coming in later today with a GS3, I will try his battery when he gets here. I know I was at 99% battery when I pulled it off my car charger. But, I suppose it is possible the battery is fried.

My bet is battery. Put it on the charger for 10 minutes.

USB or wall charger? Weird if it was at 99% though. And you definitely unplugged it when doing the battery pull and trying to get into recovery.

Not good news.... just tried a co-workers battery in my phone, and the phone is still dead. I tried my battery in his phone, and his phone started right up. I have no idea what could have happened at this point.

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but have you tried keeping your power button pressed for 5-10 seconds? Its weird but the brief vibration I got in my case was when I had it pressed for a good 5-7 seconds and then nothing would happen. Just checking if you have the same symptoms.

Yeah, I have held it for 1 minute+. I am really lost on what could have caused this. It seems to me, and my uneducated mind, it may be a hardware issue. I just don't know what or why.
I just got home from work, still with no luck. I guess if I can't get life into it, Verizon can't either?

This is kinda where I am at. I feel like it is a hardware problem more then a software problem aka not my fault.

So what was the final outcome on this?

This happened to me a few weeks ago. I had my GS3 for about a month. Everything was stock. Never rooted or unlocked.
Its a hardware issue.
If you return your phone to Verizon they will give you a refurb.
I believe the phone gets sent to Verizon not Samsung. Since I wasn't rooted it didn't matter for me, but since you can't even boot into ODIN at the store they won't be able to tell that your phone is rooted so they will order you a refurb straight away.
Its possible that when it gets to the Verizon testing facility they will discover that its been rooted and expect you to pay full price for the replacement. I have no idea.
Good Luck

Sorry for not updating. I ended up getting a replacement phone from Verizon. Looks like some other people are running into the same problem.

[Q] Some really weird problem over here.

Once, i was halfway using whatsapp then phone turned off automatically, when I turn it back on i was able to boot up past the bootscreen until i got this: Refer to Picture 003.jpg
Then I did a complete reset via CWM. I even installed CNA 3.6.6 (I was using 3.5.0 before this)
Still no avail, do I've decided to flash back to 4.0.4 to see whether things are working out or not.
I did it via fastboot.
Same thing.
What could be the problem?
Do take note that even though in the picture I'm booting it up in safe mode but still no avail for normal mode.
And, when I'm charging my phone with the power switched off I'm getting this: Refer to Picture 004.jpg
Supposedly it's a battery icon that indicates charging activity but I'm getting a battery icon with (blinking) exclamation mark.
What's wrong?

Gonna try it soon as soon as my friend is with me. Anyways, the picture I've attached shows the shutting down popup.
When it first occured(and for the next few times)it's without the popup and i can't even pull down my notifications window. BUT the 4 buttons worked. they responded by vibrating.

warning! TL; DR post about what happened to my phone.
I've left my phone (accidentally) under heavy rain for almost an hour.
By the time I got my phone back it's still working, but with a (kinda) faulty loudspeaker.
Others went a-okay.
I turned off and let it stay put for everything inside to dry up then charge. Realized that I can't charge at all. I can't even connect to computer or whatnot. So I brought it to a service center. They told me it's mobo issue and I've decided not to fix it (cause my warranty's over)
That day when I brought it back from service center, miraculously I can charge my phone! was happy at first then I kept on charging. Then story continues as first post.

same thing here!

i bought my nexus from a man for 25$ because it wasnt able to charge and when u turned it on it just went stuck on the motion starting picture.
so i went to a technician and he told me to buy the usb port , i found the original port for nexus s on ebay, so he fixed it...
since then i am able to charge it (with a exclamation sign if its off) and i have even intalled every rom i have found here, via odin/fastboot/CWM, etc. but nothing... so it keeps on stucked on the starting picture, sometimes just SOMETIMES it went up like yours, *going up and saying/showing Android System icon, batterymetter on the upper part of the screen, middle screen; saying power off, shutting down, after some secs, vibrates and goes OFF.
only with slimbeam i got that behavior always turn it on.
p.s. the USB port was unable because phone have been wet (from the other owner hands)...

Nexus S i9023 Android 4.1.2 Update
Yesterday i got OTA update 4.1.2 in my Nexus S i9023 in India. But after restarting the system for installation for some reason the update was not done. After hard booting the device when it logs on, it was showing 4.1.1. But when i am checking whether any system update is there, it is showing no update. How to get it again ????

Did my One S just die on me?!

Well i was in the middle of typing towards my mom on whatsapp and my screen turned off and no response at all from the phone.
Holding power button nor plugging in the device gives any sign of life.
The battery was still well over half full and i have never had issues with batterylife before.
So did my One S really just die on me?! How could this had happened?!
I never did any OC or changed kernels, only used Venom (for Sense 4+) and Trickdroid (for Sense 5) roms..

For how long do you hold power button? Try 15/20/30 seconds.

2. I have tried holding it down for 5min already, but i really think it died on me.. If only i could pull the damn battery...

Just to be 100% sure it's off hold the power button for around 10 sec even if lights don't flash... Then leave it on charge for 24hr or so u may not get the charging light straight away; once it's charged see if u can access bootloader

Maybe you can try changing USB cables and try charging it for a while with PC. It's worked for some guys.
Otherwise, it's time for a warranty claim.

Yeah doing that now, this worked before when the battery was fully drained on other phones. But since my battery wasn't even half way empty, i doubt it's the same problem.

Really surprises me how this phone has nothing but issues, while my old Sensation is still alive and kicking without a single issue :|

Donno what i did, but i picked up the phone, smashed it a couple of times in the palm of my hand out of anger and it turned on with still 56% battery, so it wasn't that.
I'm just glad it started working again, but **** knows what happened there, surely wasn't fun :|
