Hi... i have a S2 and for some reason it won't come on.
I used the phone for a while and then shut it down to change the memory card and after that the phone just refuses to come back on.
Is it a brick? does any1 know of any tricks i can try before i head out to the samsung service center?
Are you stock or custom rom etc?
Are you able to boot into DL mode or recovery?

Empty battery?
If you connect the charger can you see the battery icon on your screen?

Try a different charger, cable and or battery (from somewhere).
If none of that works, looks like a warranty issue.
Hold the power button in for like 6 seconds, then try to power it on again.
Failing this, try to get a usb jig
Took it to the service center, its a motherboard issue...

When TBolt is turned off and plugged in to the charger or the USB cable from PC. It turns on the phone and starts Clockwork Recovery.
I know this has been brought up before and I just wanted to know if there is something we can do about it? Or is this just something we have to live with
I have read that enabling fast boot has fixed it for some.

That did not work.
Just charge it with the power on, I never turn off the power when I charge.
I noticed my s3 (JB - rooted for a long time) was on 5% battery but i didnt care so i kept on doing my stuff
ofc it had turned off, so when i plugged in the charger nothing happened, no battery logo, no charging LED. after 5-10-15 min still nothing.
so i tried
- booting it up
- recovery mode
- download mode
- took out battery and put it back in
- tested charger with different phone, not broken
no response to all of this!
my s3 was full of apps and running rly rly slow lately, maybe it bricked itself? im panicking right now and dont know what to do, pls help!
Will your computer detect your device?? If so, boot into download or recovery from ADB buddy

no, just now i tried with another battery from my friends s3 and it doesnt work aswell i think the s3 totally bricked on me.
no response to any action i take, could that be in my benefit? like with my official warranty, if they cant even turn it on they wont know that it was rooted right?
Nah if they can't turn it on then they will just wipe and flash bud, I think the service centre is your only option buddy.

i couldnt exactly figure out what the problem is with my phone, but i also do not care anymore, tuesday im getting a new one, warranty and stuff
ps: callservice told me the problem might have been due to too many apps that run automatically, they had similar issues like that
So I got a new battery yesterday for my phone.. and my phone was working normally.. all the functions.. the net.. music.. everything.. till the time my phones battery drained and I wasnt able to charge it coz I was out.. I then put it for charging but it isnt switching on ever since... I tried 3 chargers.. it goes on to the download mode.. my laptop detects it.. but the charging symbol in the switch off mode keeps flickering.. tried removing the battery and doing it.. doesnt start.. olease help..

Did that.. all in vain.. and also.. when I put it for charging.. the battery icon keeps flickering withiut me even trying to switch the phone on..
Had this issue once. Take out the battery for 5-10 minutes or more, then put it back in and let it charge for a few minutes before you try turning it on. If the screen still flashes, take the battery out longer.
This is why you shouldn't let it discharge all the way.

Or consider that the replacement battery may not be compatible with your phone. Is it an exact OEM replacement?

Possibly. Why not buy a charger, if you do not have one?

Are you trying to charge it via your laptop? Why not use wall charger? I am a little bit confused on why you are not using a wall charger.

See if you can start your phone in download mode with just the USB hooked up to a computer. Without a battery.

My friends stock S3 is playing up. It keeps boot looping and I can't manage to get it into recovery because it shuts off before I can do anything.
Any ideas or guidance?

The phone keeps shutting off after seconds of it being turned on. I think it may be a battery problem but I'm not sure.

Try connecting it to the charger and see what it does.

so the battery is 0%. if you can charge it somehow, try entering recovery mode and wipe everything. I doubt, is that a real S3?

Hey dude
Can you get it into download mode?
You could then use Odin to Flash a recovery backup.
Apologies, someone's already suggested this Getting hold of another battery is a good suggestion as previously said.
Good luck
