Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my i9100. Yesterday, I left my phone plugged in and charging. When I woke up today, my phone was off. When I tried to turn it on, the phone would get to the boot animation, then promptly turn off. Then it would show the battery loading image, and the phone would restart again. Repeat ad nauseum. When my phone is plugged in, it would forever loop like this. The looping would only stop when I unplugged the phone. The phone doesn't react at all when it is unplugged.
Now, I can't enter recovery mode for whatever reason, and when I try to boot into download mode, the phone says it can't download because battery is too low. I suspect the battery is shot, but I can't confirm. Has anyone faced this problem before?
(Can't take it in for warranty because I rooted and I can't boot the phone to reset...)

Same problem here...
Recently flashed Neat ROM and when I put it to charge it shows the battery, gets stuck and turns off.
Can't get it to start or flash a new ROM because I can't get past the battery screen.

If you can't boot it then Samsung can't either to check it.

My S3 is unrooted and today for some reason, turned itself of then wouldn't reboot passed the boot screen.
It's not stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" welcome screen.
So far I've tried:-
Disconnecting the battery several times, even leaving it for 10mins before reconnecting.
Reset (holding Volume Up+Home+Power). It just reboots and gets stuck at the same point. Occasionally not even getting as far as the Samsung screen, it will stay on the battery charging logo/screen but the charging circle image doesn't spin.
Any ideas what, if anything I can do?

Have you gotten your S3 to work yet? My S3 did excactly the same.. I woke up and saw that it was showing the boot screen. I thought "That was weired" and didn't touch it for like ten minutes. I went back and saw that it still hadn't got passed the boot screen and then tried to reboot it. Then I once again was stuck at the boot screen and tried to reboot it again, remove the battery, plug it in to the charger and enter the recovery mode (without any success).
Have anyone else experienced the same problem? What did you do to make it boot properly?
Same problem...I can't get into recovery mode either =/
I had a similar issue. But never got stuck in boot screen. Phone was not switching on and connecting charger showed grey battery icon, not the green charging icon. Had to take it to service center. As long as it is unrooted and in warranty you are safe. They told me they replaced the charger pin on phone. But really not sure.
A few days ago my phone got soaked through my pants as I was working in the rain. I came home, dried it out, etc. and tried to turn it on. Wouldn't turn on, so I started charging it. I eventually got it to turn on and it seemed to be working fine except for some reason it said the battery life was at 0 %. Note that it was still working normally otherwise.
I went into recovery, made a backup, and did a factory reset to see if that would fix the problem. It didn't, so I restored the backup. Now the phone won't turn on at all.
When plugged in, it shows the charging battery symbol, and if you hold power to turn the phone on it will sometimes begin to start, but it gets to the boot animation and simply stays there forever (I've left it at the boot animation for several hours to no effect). If I try to boot into recovery it simply does not work; it will either just restart the battery charging animation or boot normally (and then get stuck on the boot animation).
In a last ditch effort, I was going to try to flash a stock ROM from Heimdall. However, I plugged my phone in and tried to enter download mode and was greeted with the error: "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!." This was after charging the phone all night. I then proceeded to charge the phone for another hour then try again, to the same error. And now here I am. It seems the problem is that my phone will charge, and the battery will be full but for some reason the phone doesn't recognize that the battery has a charge, so it just thinks it's at 0%. I've tried a different battery and was unsuccessful. Is there any way that I can either force my phone to enter download mode or somehow get it to recognize the charge on the battery? Or is there some other way I could resolve this? Or is my phone simply gone for good?
I am (was) running a rooted I777 with Slim Bean ROM ( I believe v8) 4.2.
Have you tried using a JIG it can be an option
If a JIG doesn't work you can try removing the battery, then plug the phone to the PC and go to download.
But for me the problem is with the battery. If after flashing the ROM you get the same results, don't think it and BUY A NEW BATTERY.
Good luck.

I has the same problema, I spend two days searching on the web, but i didnt have any idea.., ,y problem is. when we conect to ANY charger (car/wall/PC-USB..) appears on screen a batery logo, but the batery never charged..., I tried to enter to the CW but, the keys combination doesnt make anything on the phone, and without live on it, I cant access to CW..., I wait for 2 hrs, with these cell phone conected to charger to see if the it gone works...
ANYONE has another idea for how we resolve these issue? My phone has a stable version of CyanogenMod..
same with me but what i did was put a different battery in, let it charge for a bit then put the original one in and it only started charging after i used my car charger as i was driving to work so thats how i fixed mine.
Today while getting lunch my GS4 shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I am running Hyperdrive RLS18.1, and it has been working fine up until today. I have tried everything to get it to boot past the samsung custom logo. The steps I take to get it to the logo are- 1) Take out the battery 2) Put battery back in 3) Screen boots up with samsung logo(if it is plugged into the charger it shows the charging battery then goes to black) 4)the screen turns off. I have tried putting it into download mode by holding the home-power button-volume button combo, but it won't boot into download mode. I tried plugging it into the computer and it doesnt recognize it because it is off. I have two different batteries that I tried to put in the back, but they both do the same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about fixing this? And if I go into the verizon store and my phone gives the samsung logo with custom underneath it will they uphold the warranty? I doubt since rooting voids it....Thanks for any help in advance!
After trying some more options to fix the phone, I was able to get it into download mode, but then the screen turned off again. I realize that the problem is the screen won't stay on for more than a second or two. No matter what comes up, the screen turns off. But when plugged into the computer, it also just shuts down.

I actually had this phone before the bootloader was locked, I think. I never had to use it to root.
I have no idea why this worked, but after letting my phone sit all night, I tried this video -https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1286109531&feature=iv&src_vid=SSLZFmhmBlc&v=uc0afHKahR4 . I have no idea why it worked, but it did. So if anyone comes upon this thread and has this problem, feel free to contact me and I will try to help you fix the problem.
Been running the GPE ROM flawlessly since I flashed on the 12th... Until today. Don't know if this is ROM related but maybe you guys can help.
Out of nowhere, my phone kept shutting off. Couldn't use it for more than a minute after booting before it would turn off completely. Battery was charged so I was kind of like 'wtf'. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't even get to the swirling colors boot screen. It would shut off halfway though the Samsung Custom logo. ****.
Tried plugging it in and pulling the battery multiple times. I can't even boot to recovery! The blue text shows in the upper left but then it will go off again. It's plugged in now but not showing the battery charging screen.
I can only get it to turn on for about a second. Am I ****ed? Is this thing bricked? Super random because I changed NOTHING this morning and it was fine yesterday.

It could be a power button failure, it's actually quite common on the S4.

My apologies if this is addressed elsewhere in the forum, but if it is I couldn't find it...at least, not exactly what I'm dealing with.
Phone: Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro)
I was running an unofficial Cyanogenmod of Android 5 on my phone for about 2 months with no problems. Last week the phone just shut off on it's own, and since then I've been stuck.
Here's what I can do (note, all these things can only be done if the phone is plugged in and has the battery in...no response at all if just on battery):
I can boot into the boot loader, and can toggle through the options (recover mode, start, etc), but every time I try to go int recovery the phone restarts, enters the google splash screen for a few seconds, then it flickers and shuts down, showing only the "battery charged" icon.
Same thing happens if I just try to start the phone normally...google splash screen, flicker, dead.
I've tried flashing a stable version of CM11 via the CM installer, but the phone just shuts down to the batter icon during the install.
My computer won't recognize the phone via usb (it keeps trying and failing, and trying and failing...again and again and again).
I tried accessing the phone via ODIN to flash the stock android 4.2.2 rom back onto it, but with no luck. Same problem as described above (i can also boot into ODIN Mode, but it stays on "downloading" and never gets past it - again, this is only when plugged in).
Before the crash the battery life was fine, and the "battery charged" icon shows it being fully charged whenever plugged in.
I've tried pulling the battery for long periods of time (overnight, all day, etc). Same result.
I feel like I hard bricked the thing...but if I did I wouldn't expect to be able to turn anything on...
Thanks, in advance for any suggestions!
