My wife's verizon galaxy s3 just died. I flashed a theme, it gave me an error, i hit reboot device on twrp and the phone turned itself off and now won't turn on. The phone wont even charge. I can't even get it to the download (odin) screen. What can i do to get it back to life?

Try Q and A section. You might have better luck.

I would leave it charging for a good couple of hours and then try to get it to power on and/or get you to Odin mode. Also, did you try a good old fashioned battery pull???

Battery pull for at least 5 minutes. Put it back, plug into charger?

It could have fallen victim to the infamous "sudden death" syndrome. If so, it should be replaceable under warranty. Call/visit verizon to find out.

Pretty sure the screen of death syndrome was limited to phones with the exynos processor.... We're not effected.
What theme did you flash?

From what the issue seems to be with these completely dying, why wouldnt they replace it? Its toast so unless they spend all the time and tear it apart to try and fix it, they would just send him a new one, or go into Verizon (if you got it through them) and have them do it

its awfully hard to get help when you dont provide all the information for people who might want to help you...or any information for that matter.
You can JTAG for 65$ I think and yes Verizon would also replace it for you with a refurbished one.

Has it been modified? Rooted?

There is a remote possibility of something internally frying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Other possibilities... defective battery. Try another battery to see if you can boot normally or into recovery. Or, perhaps battery is too low to boot... have you tried to boot via usb power?
I tried putting my battery in her phone nothing. Her phone is rooted but its stock. She been using her phone since January with no problem. I tried USB charger also. And I also tried using jig but nothing I though maybe the jig was defective but I plug in my phone and it work

If its fried that sucks. Its like 500 bucks and up for a new phone. Guess gonna have to buy a new phone probably gonna get a galaxy note or wait for gallaxy siii.

When I got the phone 5 days ago the home button was raised a good bit and it felt comfortable. I however noticed that it has since become almost flush with the screen. Is it meant to do this? Do I have a faulty phone and if so should I exchange it? It felt much better raised.

Mine sits just about flush with the same phone. Unsure if that's how it's supposed to be but I like it better than raised. I don't remember if it was raised when I got it tbh

Mines almost flush with the screen however I don't remember what is was like when I got it. I've had it for almost a week now.

I went to the store today and the ones on display were practically flush as well. However I exanged my phone anyway just in case this actually is a defect. Thanks for the help everyone.

There's this bright green line down my screen.. What is this...

Its a portal, you have to have a very special set of stylist's to open it or if your fingers are real sharp sometimes pinch open it....
Sounds like a bad screen, did you drop it?
Hahahah Nope I just turned it on and there was this green light down vertically from top to bottom. I tried restarting but it's still there..

they might not if you don't have insurance, but you never know, if you can prove its a factory defect they may consider an exception
They will next day air you a replacement phone, should fall under the manufacture warranty as already said.
Do you possibly know the proper procedure in doing this??

It went away by itself!!

Okay this green line keeps coming back.. Getting a replacement this Friday. Does anyone know if I have to unroot this? Does anyone know if the new replacement is a refurbished one or a completely new one?

I would unroot and relock bootloader and reset the flash counter before I send it back. You'll be getting a refurbished one. If it was under 14 days of when you got your phone you can ask them to give you a new phone on the spot in stores.

I want to trade my GS3 for a Note 2
I love my gs3 but the signal strength is intolerable. I want to complain and possibly get something different but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

I know this isn't answering your question but my signal strength has been fantastic from the HE build and beyond. Prior to that however it was horrid. You're not running an old radio by any chance are you?

I got a replacement s3 and the new one gets great service. You probably have a defective device like I did

As I understand it, they'll first start out by giving you a replacement or two to try and fix the issue. If that doesn't work, they'll offer you an alternate device as they seem to be aware of the signal issue the GS3 has; they'll probably offer a galaxy nexus, razr maxx or DNA. I heard people say the DNA fixes the signal issue.

1ManWolfePack could have reported the thread and gotten it possibly closed. He didn't and just gave a friendly reminder. Instead of thanking 1ManWolfePack he just gets *****ed at for a basic mistake OP made.
Anyway I'm reporting and hopefully a mod will clean the crap and merge things. Merry Christmas to all.
