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?

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.

Samsung Gio Stuck on Boot & Can't enter Recovery

Earlier, my Gio told me about rebooting for something about wiping data or something like that.
There was no other option so I pressed the button and it restarted now its stuck on a screen, not sure if it's download mode :/
It has the Android mascot and a box with an orange arrow coming out of it, with a progress bar on the bottom that does not move. The screen also flickers. I have tried plugging my phone on the PC but it does not work. Have any idea how to fix this?

Flash stock ROM for your device, it should boot after that.
For detailed information about flashing stock rom for your device please use the search option.

Can you boot to Odin mode? Flashmode? Or try to use fastboot mode and flash stock kernel.

Before I even got these bootloops, My ROM was Maclaw's Cyanogenmod 9. And later on I got a note that my phone will be restarted for some reason, only option was to press OK, so I pressed it. So now I'm here asking for help

TF700 just vibrates on boot - does not stop

I can't get to installing a new ROM as I can't get to the bootloader. Also, as the thing is not booting, the device is not recognized on my computer.
Any other way?

Can you power down the device? Your computer has the adb drivers installed, obviously if it detected the device before. Try to power down the device or a hard boot.

By pressing the power button and the the volume up should get you into the bootloader.
You can search XDA forums on using fastboot and adb if you still need more information. ?

Unfortunately, as you may have read in my problem, when I press the power+vol up, I get a vibration and then blank screen. Nothing. So I don't see the bootloader.
Could it be that my screen is not lighting up?

Its starting to sound like a hardware problem. are you sure you have gotten it to power off?

I seems to be. There is no vibration or anything.

How can I make sure it is completely off??
Also, I connected the tablet to my tv with micro hdmi and nothing popped up ... the tablet kept vibrating.

NOw the tablet does not start at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] My Nexus 5 is bricked and can't boot into recovery! HELP!

Hey Guys!
So I had Cyanagonmod on my Nexus 5 for quiete a while now. But yesterday my phone suddenly turned off. I've tried to boot it but all it does is showing me the Google-Logo and the "Unlocked"-Logo for a second and it reboots again and I see the same thing.
Important:
1. It only boots if it is connected via USB (Wallcharger, or connected to PC)
2. If I try to boot in the Bootloader through pressing the volume buttons + the power button it just reboots after a second and the google logo appears again
3. the computer doesn't recognize the phone even though it's connected
-> I already tried to fix the problem with the Nexus 5 Toolkit but as I said the PC doesn't even know that it's connected.
PLEASE HELP ME!
I thank you for your answers and your support!:good:

Sounds to me like your power button is stuck. If you have a case, take it off. Then try mashing the power button a number of times.

Thank you for your answer.
I can get into recovery mode for a second. That means that the power button reacts and is working.
I really think that this is more a software than a hardware problem

Its button or NAND issue.

by press power button + volume down, how you are supposed to. theres no key combo to get into your recovery, you go into the bootloader then press recovery. if your power button is stuck, then the moment you enter the bootloader, it gets pressed down to boot up normally.

EDIT: SORRY! I got the Recovery Mode and the Bootloader mixed up! I ment that I only can boot into the BOOTLOADER for a second and I can't even reach the Recovery Mode because it just starts rebooting.

because your power button is stuck. once you enter the bootloader it would press down to boot.

okay thank you guys!
do you have any suggestions what I can do?
Obviously I can't get any warranty service because they'll see that the bootloader is unlocked

well, if you bought it through google, they dont care, if its a hardware issue. its google themselves that made it so you can unlock the bootloader easy. btw, they made it so you can lick your bootloader just as easy.. fastboot oem lock.

If you bought from the Play Store, Google doesn't care about that.

Except it doesn't matter to Google as long as it's a legitimate hardware fault. And stuck power buttons have been accepted many times before.

Power of, then try to boot to recovery.
You should be able to hold the power button and then select power off and it should shut down.

Have you checked APN settings?
Maybe the modem in the firmware you flashed isn't compatible with your region/network.
