I am rooted and my Verizon GS3 will not turn on. Not sure what happened. It was not due to flashing because I hadn't flashed a rom; I noticed my phone was off so I plugged it in and went back to it in about an hour and it still would not turn on.
I tried pulling the battery. When I plug the phone in with the battery in it vibrates and then the battery screen comes on but immediately disappears (the red power LED is never on either). If I pull the battery out while the phone is still plugged in the red power LED flashes on and then off.
If I plug the phone in with no battery the red power LED comes on for about 2 seconds and the phone vibrates; the LED goes off but then nothing shows on the screen.
Is this a brick? What can I do? I am going to charge the phone overnight and see if it turns on in the morning.
Thank you in advance.

today i woke up like any other day, turned on my Infuse after having a fully charged battery and after doing my morning routine i went to work. on the car i did a random screen unlock, and lock (just to see the battery level), but when i get to work my phone didnt turn on; so i removed the battery thinking it froze, and when i tried to turn it back on after re-inserting the battery nothing happened. i tried plugging into the charger but nothing happens (no vibration, no bottom lights). when plugged into wall charger, after a couple of minutes, (the right side of the back camera) starts heating up for no apparent reason. plz anyone knows whats wrong or any ideas???????
Hello All, My S3 will not do anything, Wont boot to diddely squat!! A few days ago I got home from work and I plugged it in as i do before I went to bed. When I woke up I checked my phone for msg's etc. and nothing SO I thought the charger had become unplugged (its happened before so I wnet downstairs and plugged it in to an alternate charger and nothing!! no Battery icon, when I press the power button no Samsung logo no LED indication, Thought maybe the battery was bad, tried the wife's, same thing. Took the batter out, let it set over night, Nothing!! I now get a red LED indicator when I plug it in which goes away after a minute or so. When I plug it into my computer, the computer regonizes that something plugged in but won't recognize it as a phone or any specific device.
I was running CM 10. the latest release version, and hadn't changed in a few weeks.
Any help???

I have a stock phone HTC One (M8) that has never been rooted. Today I pulled my phone out of my pocket and it wouldn't turn on. I've tried:
pressing the power button along with the volume up
Pressing power and volume down
Pressing power and volume up and down
I took it to the Verizon store and they said they would have to ship a refurb out to me. I wanted to check this forum to see if anyone has ideas before I get a refurb.
Thanks in advance!
Simular situation - will not power up or hold charge
Im S-off and unlocked .... I downloaded the new RUU 4.4.4 and everything was fine. the next day the battery drained completely and I plugged the charging cord in. I got the battery icon in the center of the screen and 0% life. The orange light is blinking, but the battery level doesn't change. I cannot get it to power up or get into the bootloader. Once I unplug the power cable the unit doesn't power on. if the keep the unit plugged In for a power source I'm still unable to boot. I'm totally out off ideas ... can I get someone to respond to help me out in this desperate time.

Can you try a different charger and cable? The blinking orange light is what they do when they are completely dead. Starts out blinking and wont go solid until enough charge is present to actually boot the phone.
I just upgraded to 4.4.4 as well maybe 3-4 days ago. I had been able to charge the phone a couple of times without issue right up until it wouldn't turn on yesterday.
I left the phone off the charger overnight and tried rebooting again this morning, and nothing.

Same here .. Been on the charging cord for a few days without any change in battery %.
Dodat ... Is there anyway to revive the M8 to accept the charge?

Try this:
Battery is fully charged, but the device does not turn on
Plug device into the provided HTC wall charger that came with the device.
Press and hold the Power, Volume up and Volume down keys for 1 - 2 full minutes. The battery should re-calibrate and the device will then turn on.
or
Battery shows less than 0% charge level
Plug device into the provided HTC wall charger that came with the device.
Charge the device until the LED indicator glows solid red.
Attempt to power the device on as usual. If it will not power on, press and hold the Power and Volume up keys for 10 seconds while still on the charger.
I tried this just now, nothing.
When I hook up the charger, I don't get any lights to indicate that the phone is charging.
It's like the phone is bricked, but I haven't messed with any ROMs at all. I'm completely stock and locked.

I am unlocked but am having the same problem. I've had the phone since almost launch day and it's been fine until now.....all of a sudden it won't charge. I've tried many different cables and chargers that I know work, but nothing gives.
Were you able to figure anything out? Really don't want to have to get a refurb as I don't think I'll be able to get it rooted/unlocked anymore.
edit: After letting it "charge" for about an hour I was able to turn the phone back on. It said the battery was at 30% but was draining like 2% every 15-20 seconds. Looking at the settings it said the battery state was unkown (where it usually says not charging or charging). Something is definitely doing on here, but I have no idea what. I tried rebooting to recovery from the ROM but it just shut off. Now it's doing the same thing again (0%, won't turn on). Ugh!
Hi ! Since 4-5 days, my Nexus 5 randomly turns off with no warning.
Any idea where to start troubleshooting ? I'm clueless.
The only hint i got is, that it seems that the turning off happened at roughly same time.
I cannot turn on the phone if it happens, it boots but turns off immediately.
Could this be battery related ? I noticed today that after pluggin in the phone to use 'adb logcat', the phone booted and showed only 8% battery, but before the phone turned off, the battery was at 60-70%.
After the powers itself off, connect it to a charger to see if the led flashes red. If it does flash red, the battery is completely depleted.
It sounds like a battery problem if it happens on a stock ROM.
Hey guys,
a few days ago I accidentally dropped an HTC One E8 in water and obviously it doesn't work anymore. Before buying a new one I wanted to ask, if some of our "HTC experts" may have suggestions on what else I could try before giving up.
The situation: I dropped it in water, didn't turn it off (dumb, I know) and it worked for around 10 minutes until it powered off. I left it in rice for a day and it didn't turn on or charge. At this point I nearly gave up.
I left it for in rice (about 48 hours) and - the orange led was flashing while charging. Even the screen turned on and it showed a charging symbol first and after a few seconds it showed a red circle and a white exclamation mark. After some time I could power it on and the touchscreen worked and I could use it, but it still was around 1%/0%. The screen flickered, but it was usable. I wanted to plug it in my computer then to rescue some data, but 5 seconds after I took it off power (to switch from the wall charger to my PC) it died.
Now I tried it to power it on for like 2 days, but with no charger connected nothing happens and when I connect the charger, the orange led is on constantly. I tried power/volume- and power/volume+, but nothing happens. Not even the charging indicator comes up, the screen is completely dead.
Are there any steps to try before giving up? By the way I don't want to disassemble it
Thanks in advance
