Hi, Everytime my phones battery dies, when i plug it back into recharge, it always boots into recovery. I cant get it to reboot normal until it plugged in for about 5-10 minutes. I have to hold the power button for a while and finally it boots back normal. Any idea why It does that? and how to fix? Its a pain if I have to make a call after finding a charger. Any help is appreciated.

Let me guess CWM recovery? if so swap to TWRP but you will still need to leave it to charge for 5-10 minutes before it will boot and to add this isnt good to let it run out of power, it has been known to mess up and need to be factory reset to work again.
Ill try it

Yes CWM. Ill try it and report back. Thanks!
I agree with dark. I had this issue with CWM, switched to TWRP and it works perfectly fine.
But, dont let it run out of juice, the odds that it wont boot is quite high. In both my cases I had to reflash boot.img through fastboot before the device started properly.
If you dont have access to a charger, and the device is about to run out of power - shut it down! Dont let it self-die!
it happend to me , i just reboot using the recovery. No need for hard reboot.

I am using a S3 HTC One S with stock 4.0.3 rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader. I was not carrying my charger with me and phone battery is finished to 0 and phone is closed. After I come home, I connect original charger to phone. Indication led is not flashing orange. I wait around half an hour. It does not flash now also. When I press power button around 7-8 seconds touch buttons blink 5-6 times and indication led begins flashing orange for 3-4 seconds and turns off. What should I do ?
Are you using CWM recovery? That's one fault with CWM, it will not charge the phone when off.
I am using TWRP. I entered recovery and reboot device from it. Problem solved but I still dont know problem.

how did you make it work? cuz i have the same problem... and since i cant charge it.. i dont think it has anymore battery left..
how do u go to recovery if you cant even open the damn phone?
Still orange led is not flashing, I kept my phone on charging. I pressed volume down and power buttons. It didnt open in first try. When I finally boot my phone normally it shows battery is 30%.
I am rooted and unlocked. I was running CM10 and tried to flash Lean Kernel on it (I have never tried to flash a different kernel so I have a feeling this is where I went wrong). After flashing the new Kernel, the Samsung Galaxy SIII boot logo would appear, then go away and leave the hardware keys lit up. Now I can't get any activity out of my phone other than when I pull my battery and put it back in. When I put the battery back in the phone vibrates, the red LED comes on, and I get a battery logo with a loading circle then the screen goes black. I have tried booting into download and the bootloader but gotten nothing. I have never been able to boot into bootloader using the power and volume down, I've always had to go to the restart menu. My battery was fairly low (about 10%) when I tried flashing the kernel. Is there any way to fix this?
I have a CWM backup as well as TiBu and Nova Launcher backups. Please help!

To boot into bootloader using the power + volume down + Home button.
Volume Up + Home + PWR = recovery
Volume Down + Home + PWR = download
Push and HOLD each button in the above sequence.
I think Lean Kernel is for ICS/TWiz only.
Get into recovery and restore your backup ...

Ok, so I've tried booting into both modes and it's not working. I'm thinking that in the process of my phone not working that the battery died... If the kernel is bad then the phone won't charge, correct? It's been a while since I've had my battery completely dead, is the battery with the loading symbol in it the indication that the battery is dead?

Why don't you plug in and let it charge for 3 hrs and try the process again?

I have it on a charger right now and have had it there for about an hour with no success. I'll let it sit for a while and try the process again in the morning. If this doesn't work, are there other options??
Edit: If I get a new phone, will restoring using the CWM backup restore my app data and such?

I would let it charge to full, then pull the battery, let it sit for a few hrs the give it another try. You have to call Verizon service for replacement if you can't get into recovery or download mode, probably the best way.

Ok, I'll let it charge while I sleep then try in the morning. Luckily I have the Best Buy protection plan so I can get a new (or refurbished) phone for free. Will restoring the CWM backup restore everything (app data, etc)? I'm assuming I'll need to root, unlock, and flash CWM onto the new phone.
Thanks for the help.
good luck

Thank you, thank you, thank you! When I woke up this morning I was able to boot into CWM and restore my backup. I apologize for being a bit frantic
So, been running CM10 for a long time on tab. Decided to go back to stock, and downloaded the JB stock rom. Flashed via ODIN. Everything seemed to go OK, except that after the flash the screen went black for ages, and didn't reboot. So I hard powered it off. Probably what did it, but it wasn't going anywhere for about 15 minutes, so figured it was the next step.
Now, I get the battery charging icon. The system goes through the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 white logo, the swirling then glowing Samsung logo, and then loops through that forever.
It wouldn't be such a problem if I could back into ODIN and do another flash, but I can't get into download mode (normally I do it via adb but that isn't working since there is no USB connection at all). Tried all combinations, power/up, power/down etc. It just boot loops as above. I'm pretty sure I bricked it, but just wanted some confirmation.
Been doing this on and off for a long time, and it's the first time I've ever got stuck like this.
Thanks in advance.
Plug USB charger, your device will boot into charge mode. From charge mode you can boot into recovery by keep holding VOLUME UP button and than press POWER button. Clear data and cache in recovery, reboot.

Thanks, but I tried all combinations of Power/Volume UP and Power/Volume DOWN, it just goes through a normal boot cycle until it starts looping.
I guess it's possible I'm not using the right timing. I'm assuming that you hold Volume UP or DOWN and then press and hold Power until the screen goes black, and then release? I've done it like that many times, and also continued to hold everything down as the logo appears, and then system goes back to the battery charging icon as if it powers off again. I sound like such a noob when I type stuff like that!
I saw ODIN successfully write system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img, so I'm thinking any CWM recovery I had on there is toast.

You must pull usb cable before start.
You can try to re-flash.

Well, don't I feel like the idiot!
How did I not think to disconnect the USB before trying this? tuxafgmur, your first "Thanks" has been registered, I've got it from here!
P.S. Welcome to the forum!
it sounds strange. never heard of such a strange boot problem. anyway it could be that while transferring boot.img it became damaged due to some error. i know you probably tryed but you may try and connect it to linux or mac os x in order to check if you could retrive more data about the tab. for example the mac could find if it is totally corrupted. normally when i plug my samsung devices it ask me to add the samsung-modem also if they are turned off. meybe if it happens the same to you you can try to adb fastboot it also if i doubt myself about it working, but give it a shot
i hope my bad english is not preventing you to understand what i'm saying!
give us new feedback!
My Tab2 (rooted, stock 4.1) started re-booting by itself this morning. I can get it to go into reset mode but it won't let me complete the reset without rebooting again. I have only been able to get it to stop when I plug it in to charge but when I unplug it starts doing it again.
Does anyone know what is going on? What can I do to stop it?
Thank you.
Question?

Are you able to boot it normally while it is plugged in to the charger? Hold the power button to turn off the charging animation then re press it and continue to hold it until it begins to boot. Does this work okay? If so you may have a battery problem that is causing the system to reboot.

You could try this link.. There are many on how to recover from a boot loop. If you can get into download mode... Vol down + power, and it will stay there waiting for download.. Then you may be able to reflash rooted stock using odin.. try this link.. hope it helps you.

Confirm the model of phone you have. If it is indeed a SGH T959V, use the guide in the second link of my signature.
It is confirmed that the phone is in fact the SGH-T959V.. I'm using a Windows 7 PC, and the phone won't stay powered on long enough for the system to load the drivers for it.. Any other suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated...

Could you provide more info on how the phone got stuck, were you trying to flash a new ROM. Lumins guide is excellent( it has gotten me out of multiple self induced boot loops) but after installing one click, windows will not show you, on the pull down, a samsung composite device. you will have to look through the different drives that are shown to determine which drive your phone is on.
If you can get into the recovery mode, have you simply tried reflasing

If when you say shut down you mean bootloop, you need to read the guide as it says to put the phone in download mode. If your battery is dead, I'm sure you can figure out what you need to do to charge your battery on your own.

First make sure the battery is charged as Lumin suggested. If the battery is charged then my bet would be that you have a stuck power button. Try this. Pull the battery and put it back in. If the phone powers on by itself then your power button is stuck.

Put in a brand new battery.. Phone is powering on by itself, but the power button doesn't feel like it's stuck.. Not saying it isn't stuck IJS.. It goes into recovery mode for a split second and resets.. Drivers won't load because the phone won't stay on long enough.. UGH!!
Definitely stuck

Without a doubt. Take the phone apart and clean the power button.

I did, and seems to be working fine.. EXCEPT when I try to charge it or plug it into the pc.. It goes back into the boot loop.. Thinking the charger port may be the culprit here..
