[Q] Dead phone? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Got home from work today, and out of nowhere my phone was randomly rebooting.
It would boot to home screen, stay for a few seconds, then reboot. I tried to go into recovery, but it froze on the Team Win logo. I waited, then pulled battery again to try to get into recovery again. After I did that, my S3 has been effectively dead. It doesn't vibrate when I hold power, doesn't respond when I plug it in, nothing.
I was on 4.4.2 OSE with PA gapps. Running TeamWin 2.3.6.1. Very few apps (minimalist, I always try to keep unused apps gone).
I'm bewildered as to what may have caused this, and why nothing changes now.
Any ideas?

Can you get it into download mode?

Nope, not at all.

When plugged into the charger, does it display the charging animation?

It does not. This happened in a matter of minutes where nothing changed. It went from a working phone to a paperweight

You are Hard Bricked. Follow this guide very carefully. It may just save your phone. Make sure you use a Class 10 SDcard that matches the size of your phone.

No, unfortunately I did not. Never ended up being able to boot with the SD card. Followed the instructions to the dot, but no go.

Nexus S hard bricked

I think i just achieved the impossible, hard bricking the nexus S.
I was having the google logo stuck problem after i tried to root it in CWR... so I used odin to reflash rom, and apparently flashed with the wrong rom (i have i9020 but flashed a 9023 rom)
Now my phone doesn't even turn on, i can't get it to download mode no matter what, can't get into CWR anymore.. fastboot doesnt work because usb doesnt even get recognized.
the only "life" i have from my phone is that the battery gets warmed when i plug the usb in.
I am not aware that there is a USB JIG for nexus s...
does anyone have any insight?
All I gotta say is you shouldn't of used odin. Are you able to get into recovery? Fastboot not recognizing your usb can be due to drivers.

can't get into recovery (if you mean volume up + power), i used to be able to, but after the flash I can't anymore.
Fastboot is via cmd? Can't do because USB is not being tiggered.
It's totally unresponsive.

Volume up + power doesn't go into recovery. It goes into fastboot. When you go there, you can press volume down until you reach recovery.

The reason I used odin was because I came from Vibrant and odin worked great. I shouldve done more research I know..

What happens when your phone is completely off. Then hold volume up and power at the same time?

Are you all guys really sure that you read the first post first? Or just read the title and replying?
I just notice even when USB is not plugged in the phone is still warm (with black screen and everything)... so I am not sure anymore.. the mystery continues.
I am pretty sure I flashed this

And yeah. That was a 9023 rom. Go back and see if you can get it exchanged. Just say it randomly shut off and wouldn't turn back on.
But this is totally on you because the op in that thread said not to flash it on 9020

thanks for your advice, but I can no longer to on Odin, because I can't go in download mode.

[Q] Bricked... hard or soft?

I have an SGS4g
I had Team Whiskeys Bionix Frost updated for/with voodoo and it worked fine for quite some time... I foolheartedly decided it was time for something new...
I followed the instructions perfectly for WhiteHawkx Valhalla when I was at the restart boot-loader section my phone turned into rainbow crack,
but the rom loaded and my phone worked I was however unable to get into recovery from this point forward.
I decided that not being able to get into recovery was unacceptable so I decided to use Odin to load up the old tried an true jump off point the deodexed KD1 I keep with Odin in a folder on my PC for just such an occasion, after attempting this my phone didn't restart on it's own like it was supposed to... (I should have known to stop right there while I was still in DL mode.)
When I restarted my phone manually my phone stopped showing the rainbow crack and showed the normal splash screen (I was foolishly optimistic) my phone is now stuck at the t mobile splash screen and I haven't been able to get it back into DL mode...
Please tell me there is something I can do other than shop for a new phone.

I have been unable to get into recovery so far...
I have tried all of the alternate methods except ADB mode which I don't think i can because the phone wont go past the galaxy S 4g exclusively from t mobile splash screen.
if there is a trick for the ADB method please let me know cause if something is going to work at this point i think that's it.
Well there is hope, your phone is still turning on.
You could see if abd recognizes your phone if you have it. (usually the first things I do is make sure debugging is on when I change things over)
If you know someone with a jig that would be the easiest way but it is 1am.

Help. Cannot get into recovery

Recently my power button took a crap on me, and about the same time I noticed j cannot boit into recovery. I've tried multiple different ways, and every time it just boot loops. Shows me the Samsung logo then a black screen and repeats forever. The only way I can get out of the loop is to pull battery and enter download mode then reboot. I've tried reinstalling the newest recovery again also. Anyone have any bright ideas? I can't wipe anything or install anything new, and I'm getting frustrated. :banghead:
Thank you ahead of time

Which recovery are you actively using (or trying to)? If its cwm, are you sure you got the right one for our phone? Download ROM manager and let it flash the correct cwm and then try rebooting if that still doesn't work odin the phone to stock, reroot and attempt again

I sent my GS3 in with the same problem. The phone power button started to do crazy things and would not stay in download mode or in recovery mode long enough to flash anything. They are sending it back fixed today. Samsung knows about the motherboard going bad on these devices but they wont tell you about it.

Yup called them directly. I told them that it was rooted but had a hardware problem. They told me that I can send it in since it was still under manufacturers warranty and they would tell me if it could be fixed. Sent it in on May 28th. Just got email that they are sending it back fixed.

Wish I saw this earlier. But the easiest way to boot into recovery without a power button is using terminal emulator.
Type in

Reboot recovery
Same can be done for download mode.

so i tried to revert back to stock last night using odin and something went terribly wrong. still believe it is due to my power button. i got one section as failed and one as passed in odin. the phone shut off at the end and said it was rebooting, but it never did. eventually i unplugged it and tried to get it on with no luck. if i pull the battery and reinsert it, the phone vibrates, and i get a screen that says "Samsung, custom" with and unlocked pad lock. i have never seen this screen before. i also can only get to download mode for about 2-3 seconds before the screen goes black again. So i cannot retry the process, i now have a brick. Anyone have any suggestions? i was going to send it back to samsung today, but i don't believe they will touch it in this state.
reading up on hard bricks, and mine doesn't seem to be quite that since i can get into download mode. It just doesn't stay there, the screen turns off after a few seconds. obviously not long enough to odin. any help would be GREATLY appreciated. i now have no phone... this shall be interesting with the lady friend :laugh:

As long as you get into download mode you're still ok. Send it into samsung and tell them your issue with the power button. They will fix your hardware issue and will load the stock rom back onto your phone.
I don't think they care as long as your phone isn't hard bricked. I'm sure they use odin anyways to update every phone that comes out of their service center.
Can anyone confirm this is correct?

[Q] Possibly bricked phone

I had no idea where else to go for help I have a vzw gs3 and wanted to install a custom rom. When I was trying to flash the bootloader which I was doing following this video youtube .com/watch?v=K4b9hcWHrW8#t=155 after I did the first bootloader unlock step my phone did not restart and now is just black. Nothing happens when i plug it in or hold power button. Please help I do not have the money for a replacement phone and i figured this would be my first place to try for help. Also i have installed custom roms before and it worked fine just never on a phone. Sorry for the space in the link it wouldn't let me post with it because i am a new user.

Have you tried booting into download or recovery mode? Here's how http://www.knowtechbetter.net/how-t...-download-mode-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-tutorial/
If you can get into download mode I would odin back to stock and then use this tool to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash a custom recovery.

As for why your phone won't turn on or anything I'm not really sure. My best guess would to take out the battery and plug the phone in without the battery to see if anything happens, and then put the battery back in.

There are options here.
Use this method, but you need a class 10 external SD card with the exact same size as your internal card, and you need to follow the directions exactly, it should work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45595912
Other option is you can send it into somebody for a jtag repair, mobile tech videos will do it for $60 I think, either way you go you won't be buying a new phone.

It was a guess suggestion. I would try booting into download mode or any mode with the battery out. But if you can get something to happen to show you're phone isn't completely broken I would leave the battery in and just let in charge for a little while.
Can you get to the charging animation the phone makes it's charging while it's off?
And have your tried putting the battery back in while the red light is on?
(again these are just suggestions, I've only soft bricked my phone twice so idk if it will work for you)

My last idea would be to just try different combinations of having the battery in and out, when you put it back in, having it plugged into the wall and computer, and trying to boot into any of the 3 boot modes. Otherwise I have no idea, but when in doubt just try everything.

Sometimes it takes repeated attempts, also are you following the sprint guide? You have to do it in a Linux environment, either the full os or a live CD of Ubuntu.

I was not ill load up a live environment and try that.

My M8 wont charge if the phone is powered on.

When the phone is on, plugging in the cord will charge the phone for a couple of seconds before it stops working. If its powered off, the phone charges normally but obviously I want to be able to use my phone. Does anyone have a fix for this, or do I need to get back to stock and make an insurance claim with Verizon?
I should mention I'm running the GPE ROM currently.

I tried to run the RUU but I couldn't get the phone to be recognized by my command window. It stays on <waiting for device>

I have one somewhere that I could try tomorrow. I think it might be a software problem since it started entering car mode all the time randomly when not plugged in yesterday, and that's when this started. That being said, it seems if I let the car mode notification sit in my status bar it will charge for the most part.

sounds kernel related. the ruu via SD will be an easy way to test. remember it will wipe internal storage too.
