No the battery was about 90% and my charger works with my hd2 ^^
Don't boot, no charging light and just a sound when I put the usb cable to computer with a driver installation fail : QHSUSB_dload, and this too in device manager on windows !

Try volume down + power button for ten seconds or so, then release the volume button and press it again shortly but keep the power button down. This always works for me!

A hard reset is holding only the power button until the capacitive buttons flash.

Yes I know but I have try that too, capacitive buttons flash don't works, so I think my phone is briked, I know the hard reset and reboot method, but here...don't works :crying:
So, do you think I must send it to repair center and hope to have a S4 model or I wait for battery totally discharge and put the charger on and try again to boot ?

The phone can't just brick, try and try until it boots

Any luck? My phone just randomly did this....

This exact thing happened to me. I think there might be a bug with the phones
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

The way I noticed that it triggers it is downloading a huge file 100mb or higher and while that file downloads deleting another file just as big. The phone will shut off and after that no led light turns on and can't restart it or anything

same issue mine completely crapped out on me. was running trickdroid beautifully for solid week or two then began noticing occassional heat then randomly died one morning. I had a black mao import on att. anyone know if htc warranty will cover it?

S3 wont budge after root

I am not the owner of this phone.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 that was rooted using a "teamviewer" like program by a customer and an outside source. After root was "successful" the rom was flashed and the phone rebooted and shut down (as customer recalls it). This phone is running 4.08 on a wall charger through a volt meter and the battery is reading the same if not a bit less. The vibrate during start up does not occur and the lights for charging are not lit up. Any help towards getting this figured out please let me know. Appreciate the help in advance

Well when you pull the battery and put it back and then try to hold volume up, home and power dies it do anything?
Also, when plugged into pc does it ask for any drivers? I'm betting your customer installed an international version ROM and it's hard bricked.

I had already done what you mentioned and the forums were my last resort haha. It does ask for drivers but I had to find the download for them and am currently trying to run the phone through adb devices but it is seeming like it wont pick it up.

What us the driver name and with the button combo did it respond?

Nope cant get to it if phones unresponsive

pull the battery for like 5 minutes and try again. if still unresponsive then you have a brick.

Just to be clear, you are trying to get it to download/recovery mode from the phone being powered off right? It won't get there when its powered on and stuck at "Galaxy S III" screen. Pull the battery and hold down the button combinations until you see "Samsung" with small blue text in the upper left hand corner and as soon as the screen goes black, release the buttons.
It almost sounds like they installed a rom that needed the bootloader workaround.. in which case I'd be stumped at what's needed then, jtag...?

What rom was flashed? Any way you could provide a link or recall its name?

Specifically, what rom was it? Sounds to me that a I9300 rom was flashed. If that's the case, the phone is hard bricked. You need a JTAG to fix it.

My rom before that is Project Spectrum then I want to go back to ColorOS since it has so many bugs then it bootlooped

you need a working recovery. Once off, try to use volume UP and power at the same time.

I already tried but nothing happened ?

And with volume down?
I made a mistake:*volume up is for fastboot (when enabled), down for recovery.
You might have to try power during 15*seconds before. And do not plug your phone.

Try hold on volume up and down and power button at the same time for 30 second I think its kernel panic.

Also leave phone charging for a few hours and don't touch it see if it also was a bit low battery.

none of it works, left it overnight and tried every button combo

Power + Volume Down for 10-15 second simulates a battery removal, so try that.

Given it's not responding to that, and no lights when plugged into power, I'd say it's probably hard bricked and unrecovaerable. That's the risk when playing with things like dual boot etc I guess. Or just bad luck.

Might have bricked my phone?

I was using lrteam twrp 3.4.2b-1206 and I was sideloading the vendor update for 12.2.1.0 when the progress bar froze. I gave it 10 minutes and held the power button to reboot and now the phone is showing no signs of life i cant get it to even show the poco screen. I've got no ideas left on what to do.

yeah no combination of buttons will show any signs of life and i can't even get to the bootloader. It should be at 100% battery at this point i dont think that's the issue either

Where did you find vendor update for 12.2.1.0 ?

If the the phone appear in qualcom usb, flashing in EDL will be possible and requires an authorization that only official repairers have.

My first question was for ashawanz" Where did you find vendor update for 12.2.1.0 ? "
and this answer" If the the phone appear in qualcom usb, flashing in EDL will be possible and requires an authorization that only official repairers have" was not intended for you 'my mistake' but still for ashawanz

So I just took the device apart to try and get into qualcomm edl mode through hardware and now the front camera led turns red while charging. apart from that there are no signs of life though it won't show up in my pc's device manager even though I have the qualcomm drivers

It's not booting, he doesn't want to get into edl. It's showing no reaction. But he could try pressing power button for 1min and look for vibration

To try to restore the phone yourself, you must use commands in fastboot or adb.

the power button for a minute didnt do anything either sadly. Im trying to get into edl so i can try and recover it with QPST, but even after opening the phone up and trying to get into edl through hardware, i was only able to get the red charging light to start showing whilst charging. Should I try to disconnect and reconnect the battery maybe?

Yep, can't hurt at this point.

You can try this:
Recharge the battery for at least 1 hour (even if you think it is already charged)
after connect it by usb and press the power button first,power button with volume -, button with volume +, and try to see if it appears on the pc and in what way.
