PLEASE HELP! Phone wont turn on. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I rooted my GS3 with this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEVDgjTTdg&list=PL7011CD883D5201B8&index=12&feature=plpp_video
Everything went perfectly and was successfully rooted.
I then made a backup of my phone.
I tried installing a rom and it had errors, so I restored my phone and it was successfully stored and hit restart phone.
Thats where I am at now. The phone shut off, and wont turn back on. I have it on the charger and there is no charging light, nothing. tried pulling the battery, entering recovery. Nothing works.
I have no idea what happened or how to get my phone back on.
Please help.
Thank you.

How about download mode and install the stock ROM?

I cant get into downloads mode either.
Nothing works.
I plug in the phone to my pc and it recognizes it.......sort of.
Doesnt show as a device to transfer files, etc.

Any other suggestions?
This is so frustrating.

Tried that.
Even waited 10 minutes

Was your phone charged enough or did the battery run out while u were flashing?
Try putting just the battery in the freezer for a few minutes in a plastic bag.10 min perhaps. And then try to charge it. If charging light comes on, let it charge well before turning on phone. Make sure its not wet when u put it back in phone.

The battery was around 40 %
I even tried putting the phone on the charger for 10 minutes and still nothing.
Phone wont boot at all.

I was trying this one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738527 but it failed.
So I restored my phone from a backup.

The charge light not comming on, phone not turning on is independent of the phone os. Try putting battery in freezer for a few minutes and then try to charge.

No I dont.
I just realized that there were 2 different forums.
1 for sprint at&t, etc, then the GSM ones.
Probably why the rom didnt flash and then aborted.
Either, way, I then wiped everything and then restored from my factory rom.
It said it was successfull, and I hit restart.
Now my phone does nothing.

You could try making a jig. Google jig for download mode. And it might work if you plug your charger into the wall, and with the phone off and battery out, hold volume down and plug the charger in.

Ill do some research on jig.. And I've tried every combo of battery in and out.. Is there anyway to force push a custom recovery through adb? Or force it into download mode using adb or an app or something? I can get into the stock recovery..

I think your issue stems from a stuck power button.. So when you try getting into download mode your actually pressing volume down and power.. That combo just won't work.. try to get that power button fixed and all should be well.

The problem is, even with unbrickable mod, you need to press the power button to get the processor into flash mode.. Him having a possible stuck power button will not be helped by doing that.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Right. Well then I guess first step is to disassemble and see if some cruft has settled in between the power button and contact. then while youre in there....might as well make it unbrickable. =)

This may have been a test release where they open the flood gates for a short while and then close it again.
I doubt it is due to the massive amount of updates since it was via Kies and not OTA, not many people would check that every day (in my opinion)
Sorry guys. Hopefully something works out soon)
Anyone know why kies keeps saying installing hotfix but wont install. Removed and redownloaded twice. Got link from samsung.

did you entered your S/N and Model number in cap's? that what i had to do this morning when i updated my phone to ICS, it wouldn't work with lower case letters but when i put it in capital letter it worked.
RE Kies Wrong S/N
When I enter the serial number and model, I get a screen with "Chinese?" symbols and an ok button. When I select OK, it brings me back to the enter serial number and model screen. I've reverted back to original GB radios, and still the same thing.
Any ideas?

Charging problem

So I unfortunately ended up with the charging bug.
When I put my phone In the wall charger it doesnt want to charge. The charging indicators all turn on but I still lose battery.
I've tested the cord and charger on my friends phone and they work. I've also put in a different battery with the same result. Also booted into safe mode.
Help?

I would try reverting back to stock, and if that doesn't work, then i would get a replacement. Sounds like a hardware issue.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'd try putting it on USB charge first. It might just be your charger has gone US rather than anything to do with the phone OS or software. Looking at those first screenshots I'm wondering about the 'discharging' 'charging' going on. To me that sugests the charger itself is not staying on charge mode.
The SIII gets 'stuck' sometimes says Samsung, they said it was a software issue so hopefully they'll fix it soon
Possible temp fix: turn off phone (works 90% of time for me)

I think that your charger is bad. Try some rooted jb os with latest siyah kernel,then try to charge your phone with usb. Latest syiah kernel have tweaked usb charge to 900mA. You have managed to recharge a little bit because ics has weaker wireless than jb.
Sory for my bad english
Cant be bad charger because I've tried 2.
As soon as I flashed stock t-mobile ics the charging went back to the way it should be.
Was running latest overcome jb. Was working fine. Something must of gotten corrupted?
Only thing that fixed it was flashing stock.
Anyway crisis averted. Just glad Im not having to send it away to samsung.
