My tablet has recently decided to stop charging no matter what I try :/
I left it over night plugged in and it went from 0% to 1%.. but when unplugged it turned off straight away.
If i plug it in while turned off the screen becomes a sort of glitchy mess, with a yellow exclamation mark being glitched out on the screen ><
how can i fix this thanks ..
I Have the same problem too. I tried everything. My problem came after JB update. A custom room could fix it?

Do you have another charge / data cable to try?
Ah yes sorry, I fixed it, Im now using ReVolt JB and that seemed to have fixed it, I was on Hyperdrive RLS3 when it stopped charging..
Sorry forgot to update the post :good:
Yeah man sure your using a original changer and cable, I've tried using a few after market versions and they all suck

Had the same issue a while back, messing with a USB cable while plugged into it got it to go away occasionally then I think I cleaned it, its been so long I can't remember how I fixed it or if I did anything at all, its the USB port. It may be damaged, it may have some trash in there. Try blowing it out. If not send it to Samsung or see if att will replace it.
K, ya i figured that was the case with the usb port, but what about the other software oddities?
ive since went bone stock, and factory reset. Hasnt acted wierd since (crosses fingers)

Oddities like what? Download mode and the charge screen would be normal behavior when a device is plugged in to the port. Add long as there is a problem with the port these are possible symptoms.
You are correct, i apologize. I understand whats going on with my phone now. Definietly the charger port. Which it explai.s why it is acting normal right now. Because im not restarting it right now.

Using the program here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835791
I tried to unlock my bootloader. Everything seemed to go fine until the program said the phone was rebooting.
The display went dark as if rebooting but never came back on. Since that moment I can't get the phone to power up at all. I can't get into recovery or download mode. The screen doesn't seem to even try to come on. The phone acts as if it has no battery installed even though the battery is there.
Anyone have any suggestions or do I have a legit brick?

sounds like a 100% legit brick. Does it show up as a device when you plug it into a windows computer?

Did you pull the battery and let it sit for a little?

Yes but only for about 5 minutes or so. I can try longer if you think it might help.
Did your phone have enough charge before you began everything?

Could be a major detail that some might overlook. That'd for sure do it. I got rid of my OG few weeks ago n I'm still stock so I wouldn't know this, but doesn't the process only take like 10 seconds if that? The actual flashing that's taking place. So it'd have to be quite the odds to lose juice in the middle of flashing. But wouldn't it be charging if its plugged in usb? I hope that my man who posted this gets it powered back up. Would be a major bummer otherwise.

That's pretty strange see if when you take your battery out of the phone if you can plug into the wall and boot.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
Yes I have tried it without the battery. Right now I'm letting it sit without any battery or power to it to allow all components to discharge. I'll try it again in a couple of minutes.
I'm beginning to think I've got a real live or rather dead brick.

Just to make sure you read and followed all steps right? This one seemed crucial
**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****
Just trying to narrow down what the hell could cause the device not to power back up, also how long did you leave the device plugged before disconnecting or pulling the battery. Did oden stop responding or say anything other then rebooting ?

Or instead of paying shipping plus not having a phone for a week or so, you could file an insurance claim... Haha. Last I checked Asurion was still giving new phones due to lack of refurbs.
I had to run out quickly earlier to get a new sim for my Thunderbolt so I can have a phone to use in the meantime. The sim I had for it didn't work.
Some good suggestions. Thanks everyone. I'll have to ponder my options few as they are.

Yeah but when Vzw gets it back do they then discover it was rooted and then charge me for breaking warranty? I've always wondered how much they could tell in a situation like this.

They don't have to get it. Say you dropped it off a boat and you couldn't save it. They don't need it for insurance.

I had this happen on an HTC phone one-time. No joke, but to fix it, I think it ended up holding down power + volume down or up and then put the battery in. I tried a bunch of combinations like that until it booted. Same thing when taking the battery out. Does the red light show when the phone is plugged in?
So this morning I installed SkyJellybean from seanzscreams. I've been using it all morning and into the afternoon. I've installed plenty of custom roms, i have CWM from skater and I've never had a problem... until now. I went on a walk with my girlfriend, phone in my pocket the entire time, when I got back I pulled my phone out and tried to unlock it. Nothing happened. I tried to reset it. Nothing. Pulled battery, tried to go into recovery, tried to go into download mode, absolutely NOTHING. My phone isn't responding whatsoever. Seems like a brick but before the walk the phone was working perfectly fine and now it's dead. I didn't do anything from the time I stopped using it to the time I got home. This makes no sense to me whatsoever. It doesn't even vibrate. What in God's name is going on here?
Tell me what you think.
No offense....but...dead battery?
maybe the battery is dead.
if that doesn't work try a jig USB_JIG

None taken. Thanks for the input. I'll check into that.
EDIT: It would be a fried battery, more like. Now to hit up all of my Android user friends for a compatible battery. If this works... I'll be mad.

Yeah absolutely nothing. I've kept it plugged in for quite some time now. Just in case. I'm thinking it's not the battery. I ended up calling AT&T and blamed KIES.

if u usb connect to the pc and pull battery to boot in dl mode and *the pc doesnt recognize it at all* use samsug kies to manually install the device drivers on the computer and odin will should find ur phone. the phone will be blank probably but the green light will turn on in odin. i have bricked this thing bad. sometimes it takes 3-4 days of being dead with no battery in it before it will boot into dl mode.

Thanks a lot. It certainly wasn't the battery. Your comments are nice but your avatar is ironic. lol
i was in recovery and fixed permissons for whatever reason.... and my phone would only boot up to the samsung logo. i was going to do the "HOW-TO unbrick your soft bricked gs3" downloaded everything but now my phone wont turn on at all. it was low battery, but it wont charge now. , to even get it to show a sign of life, i plug my phone into the computer or outlet without the battery, put the battery in and it flashes the battery logo for about 2 seconds, and the loading circle does not spin. then it just goes black.
any idea?

Just let your battery charge for an hour or two. I know there are no signs us charging, but I've seen this a couple times on the threads here and after charging anyways works. Assuming you didn't flash an international ROM

Ya do what kintwofan said, it happened to me once where it seemed like it wasnt charging but it was. If you leave it on the charger for like a hour and it still wont boot then try and boot it into recovery then in that menu goto reboot now.
still 0 power
wow seems like a lot of people are having this issue lately! maybe the mayans were wrong about the world ending and it was samsung s3's that were supposed to perish?
last night my friend had a black screen and had to pull the battery. I've been having issues for months and today my phone is garbage. check my post. =)

Hi,
Recently i bought a 16gb SD card from wal-mart and i thought that i could just use that to install apps with...boy was i wrong. Anyway, i decided to root and install cm11.0 on it, everything worked fine and dandy until i decided to install a mod that i saw that said "swap internal SD/External SD. It got me excited and so i jumped into installing it like normal (e.g. recover -> flash -> reboot) and my tablet started up at the boot logo for Samsung. i got excited and excited until i noticed it was taking FOREVER. it booted up and worked but the battery drained out because it was left with 5% left. it died, i tried turning it back on but nothing happens :'c. BUT although whenever i plug the tablet into a wall socket i get a battery logo and a little loading thing that indicates that its charging, BUT the indicator is frozen. It just doesn't move and neither does the charging bar.
I can send pictures of what it looks like but im no photographer Please helpp!!! :crying: :crying:

I cant really turn it on to begin with, like recovery or download mode. I tried to charge it but it just shows the charging icon and the a loading thing thats frozen. Cant get into download or recovery. Im pretty keen with getting out of hard bricks because i got out of like 3 but this one is pretty bad.
