Guessing it's more of a soft brick and recoverable. Where did you get CM10 and what version of cwm? Unlocked bootloader?

You'll probably have to go into download mode, and odin back to stock.
Yeah it's probably a soft brick, if you can get into odin (power + home + vol UP) you should be good to flash back a stock w/root and be back up and running.
I just did this when I had to flash back from a bad download of the synergy nightly....or possibly it's a problem with the nightly, a good lesson to actually check the md5 on a download...
how will i know when in download mode if screen is black..it was CM10 that showed up on rom manager at one point CM10 konstakang JELLYO
If you pit it no dl mode while Odin is open and phone plugged in ...it should show up in the "com port area of Odin. I think even if you can't see it on the screen. It worked with my Charge. Give it a shot

Mike you have any ideas for me to try?
I've had similar issue in the past if you have sound when plugged in its probably just a display issue you will have to try to put it into download mode blind and flash stock unfortunately will have to set up from scratch but should do the trick

Power + home + volume up to get into download mode. It should show something on the screen if not try what was said above and put it in d/l mode with Odin opened and the phone plugged in.
I don't want to start some heated debated but I don't see the difference in "self bricked" and "self dropped into a toilet" when it comes to insurance. Now warranty that's a different story.
I have to disagree and agree with the guy who says these people are xxxxbags. I wouldn't go so far as to call people who want a working phone as a "xxxxbag" a bit irresponsible yes, but to go so far as calling them xxxxbags I think is a bit harsh.
On the other side of the argument are the people who act as if Verizon or Samsung are obligated to replace a bricked phone. You don't throw your phone around like a football then expect it to be replaced for free. People who flash custom roms, etc (including myself) are fully aware of the risks they are taking by doing so and should take the responsibility to try and fix it themselves. If they can't figure out how to fix it with the help of all the brilliant minds on XDA, Verizon won't have too much luck either.

It's home+voldwn+power then vol up to continue.
And one is and accident and one is self inflicted. If you don't see the difference I can't help you:victory:
Nothing but a flame war here
It is against XDA rules to discuss ways to fraud the carrier into warranty replacement
You brick it, you bought it. That is what insurance is for.
Admit you messed up your phone and pay the deductible

So, while I'm no expert I'm not new to rooting and flashing. Did it quite a bit on my older Droid Inc 1, and have performed a few on my new SG3.
I have 3 backed up ROMs on my SD, Synergy, Beans and CM10. I was running Synergy and decided to give CM10 another shot to see if I could figure out what was killing NFC. So, flashed it up with ROM Manager (Used Odin previously) and everything went swimmingly. ROM was running, NFC was working, all my apps were reinstalled, no problems.....
Decided to see if I could get Wallet working on this install, so flashed it in, made the changes to build.prop and rebooted.
Heeerreeee's where the trouble started. Part way through the reboot the phone just shut down. Completely. 100%. Dead.
I had 87% battery when I started so it 'shouldn't be a battery problem. No power, no LED when I plug in the charger, no vol-up, home, power to get into recovery.
One interesting thing did happen while I was trying to get the phone up, I removed the battery for a bit, and plugged the USB cable in and got a red charging light. Put the battery back in, light still there. 1 minute later, light goes off and still nothing happening with the phone at all.
Anyone have any ideas beyond all the stuff I've given a shot to?
Will it show up when plugged in on your CPU?

Oh no. Another one sending a phone back because of rooting. That's why they lock bootloaders.

Have you tried borrowing someone's battery to see if you can also least boot? I have four samsung batteries for the S3 and would consider sending it to you before getting a replacement. I think the cost of a battery is $3 on Amazon.

The reasons were different but i had the same thing happen to me, my phone wouldn't boot, wouldn't show up in the computer. Nothing, i tried my wife's battery, no change there either. I left it on the charger overnight and tried turning it on in the morning and after messing with it it came back on. Haven't had an issue since. Don't know what caused it, the phone just freaked out, turned off and wouldn't turn back on.
You can also try the resistor trick to see if that will bring your phone back. Here is a cheap way to do it.
http://hackaday.com/2012/09/03/saving-a-bricked-phone-with-a-pencil-lead/ Otherwise you can go to radio shack and pick up a resistor.
If Verizon sends you your phone back cause you messed with it, there is a brick repair service for like $60 bucks PM for the link if it comes to that.
Congrats on the new phone

hehe.. I can't say I was pleased with having to go that route, (can't stand being defeated by electronics) but all in all I can't imagine a simple software change causing the entire unit to just go dead. Not booting properly, or locking up and such, sure... but not just dead.
By this morning I had tried another battery (a friend has an SG3 also) to no effect, but I didn't try leaving it plugged in overnight. I did check the battery with an external charger I have and it was showing fully charged....
So, I'll get a replacement and stay away from CM10 at the very least.
**ihavenewnike - Not sure why you're on an android developers forum really...
Ok, so the new phone got here at about 12:30. Plugged all my stuff into it and it fired right up.
Rooted and unlocked it, put my latest Synergy backup (1 day old) on the SD card and restored it.
Ahhhh... It's just like it never left. :victory:

Same thing happened to me when I tried to mess with the NFC hack on my SGS III.
What saved me was a USB Jig I happened to have handy when I...accidentally... soft bricked a friend's Samsung Captivate a few months back. The USB Jig is used to put the SGS III into download mode when all else fails that tiny little gadget saves the day.

I have looked into those and will most likely make one very soon. (I think I have everything I'd need, just may need to cobble some resistors together).
Couple of things I noticed throughout this 'process', regarding the CM10 (9-15 nightly) ROM, NFC and google wallet....
At first install of CM10 I noticed that NFC was active and working normally. It could read my tags without issue. After Wallet was installed though, NFC disappeared. It wasn't just disabled, it simply wasn't there any more. It was after noticing this that I decided to reboot, at which point my original problem started.
The reboot never came close to completing though, it shut down before it actually made it to the 'boot' phase, as in, while it was shutting down.
The actual cause of the power off is still a mystery to me, as I can't see a simple app change causing hardware failure.
So you bricked your phone, just like a few of us did yesterday.
What did you call Verizon saying in order for them to send you a new phone?

I told them what happened, just left out a few bits of info.
"I rebooted it, and it never came back on." and that was that.
Nice.
I should have gone that method, but ended up paying for the repair service from MobileTechVideos
A friend has the qhsusb-dload showing up as well.. phone won't turn on.. flashed a bad kernel or rom I forget which.. red light comes on.. that's it.. its a Verizon i535 .. tried the resistor jig and nothing happens.. any ideas to fix?
---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------
Guess he had aokp rom then flashed neak kernel and that's when it died..
The past two nights I have fallen asleep with a close (30%) to dead battery only to wake up and realize it died. No biggie, my fault for not throwing it on the carger. I plugged it in and was stuck at the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' screen. I was able to manually enter recovery and do the wipe/flash routine.
My question is, is this a symptom of a bad flash or root or something? Do I have to live in fear of a dead phone? I have never experienced this on my other phones, although I don't make a habit of letting the phone die, not withstanding the last two nights
I have since made a nandroid
I am on synergy r118.
Thanks.

Possibly Synergy 118...possibly a bad flash even tho you would have other symptoms as well. Just try to flash any other ROM and see what happens....but also if you just pulled the battery and tried to boot it again and did...then it's most likely just caused by the leaked JB it's not good but not that terrible either. good luck :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the reply.
I will have to wait until this weekend to try another rom....
I would think if it's a synergy issue I would not be the first to find out.
My only other thought is the battery being too dead to do anything, even with wall usb plugged in. When I got my phone to boot after flashing it would show less than 15% charge.
I will try to troubleshoot it with different roms when I get a chance and post here with the results.

For anyone following this.
I have decided it is an app issue. I reflashed a fresh synergy rom. I am currently restoring apps a few at a time, rebooting,then making a nand everytime it boots ok.
I will let you know what app is doing this when/if i come across it.

So I am running cleanrom 5.5.1, unlocked bootloader and original first leak radios. I was texting and all the sudden bam. rebooted to a black screen. Can't access download mode or recovery. The Samsung logo pops up followed by the s3 logo, then a dimly lit black screen that never ceases till battery pull. When I try download mode, some blue text pops up in the upper left hand corner, then reboots to logo screens then back to black screen. Also, when I pull battery and put it back in, plug in a charger and the battery icon appers on screen. When it goes dark I can wake it with the menu button and see the battery icon again. Any suggestions? If not fixable, would I be able to get a replacement from verizon? (I bought the phone less than a month ago renewed contract. Any help is much appreciated!
If the blue text is popping up your trying recovery, not download mode. Pull battery put it back in then hold volume down , home, and power until the download mode warning shows up

Well you're right. Since you get life it's fixable. I would say pull your battery for a little while. Put it back in then hold volume down, home and while holding them both hold power. Your phone should boot into Odin mode.
Back stock for now....YUCK!

I had just rooted and flashed Jellywiz the previous day. The next day at work, I don't know why, but I must have experienced some kind of massive battery drain. The phone would not reboot, I would plug it in and it would just vibrate and flash the battery sign on the display every few moments. I had to put the phone on a charger for about 15 minutes and let the battery charge until I was even able to get the phone to boot. I would not boot while plugged into an AC charger until I let it charge. Very weird, and it hasn't happened again since but I swore that my phone was bricked. Basically the battery was so dead it wouldn't boot the phone, let it charge with out ****ing with it for a while and then try and boot it up.

Odin is easier then it seems, but make sure you know what you're doing because you can brick your phone with it. However, there is a great guide right here on how to unbrick your phone. Just follow section 5, I did it last night(to just clean up my phone)

You may want to double check section 5 it's one file that includes the entire stock ROM including a locked boot loader and the radios that match.

It's possibly the vibrate motor. It's not unheard of for them to go out.

+1. Hardware issue.
Still Charged Up
sounds like a personal problem - wore out your vibrator... j/k
never heard of that though - have you tried reflashing the ROM or resetting your sound settings?
tried everything but refreshing back from ep4. I was really hoping it wasn't hardware. wtf do I do now? haha
If you rule everything else out and it is the motor, it can be replaced if you don't mind a little disassembly. It's typically one of the easier repairs to do. In most phone, it's just a little round, flat cylinder, about the size of a small watch or hearing aid battery, clipped to the motherboard and connected by two wires.
how much would that cost and where do I buy the motor?
I'm pretty sure the motor is actually integrated (as in soldered) onto the board. Assuming you can actually find the motor, it's going to be a PITA desoldering and soldering that sucker. Why not just get your Charge replaced?

ODIN with PIT
In the middle of re-partitioning with the PIT pull the plug and disconnect all battery sources.
When you turn it back on It will say to connect to the computer and download mode will not
work... Take it to the store and tell them that the vibrate alert stopped working. You checked
to see if there was an update and there was. Take the update and then this showed up. Works

I've had my charge since the day after it came out haha waiting on the s4 to upgrade I don't think they'll give me any more charges (I'm on #4). But not having vibrate sucks. I did hear that swap was doing this to some people and I have swap activated, I'm going to try that out for size, will report back
so i don't think replacing my charge is a possibility (unless I pull the this phone is f#@$!ng terrible card) which I'm not in the mood to do. Also, disabling swap did not help wiped dalvik also just in case that could affect anything. I was scared my phone stopped accepting charge and was about to re-partition my phone last night but it was 4am and my phone decided to work again so that's probably the last thing I can do and I'll do it when I've got some free time this weekend and report back for anyone having this same issue.
on a semi-related note what are you guys planning on upgrading to? I want to wait for the moto x but would rather get the S4 because I like what samsung has been doing with extra features in their version of android, but also the HTC M7 looks super appealing and its not mumbo jumbo like the s4
