My phone won't boot anymore.... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I restarted my phone today, my phone does not finish booting... It stays at the Samsung screen and does the little vibrate thing (that it does just before the boot is finished) at intervals but it never finish...
I also took a factory reset from Recovery but it still refuses to finish booting..
How can I fix this?

BTJ

Does the Sgs2 charge while in Download mode?

So my Sgs2 went crazy ..won't boot wont go into recovery but goes into download mode. . Problem is my battery was low when this happened so i can't just flash from odin. . And the phone tries to boot instead of showing the charging screen! So does anyone know if it will charge if i leave it in download mode?

Can you get the phone into download mode?
If you can, then download this firmware and flash it with Odin.

Please give more details like what android version and kernel you were using. And from your signature are you using S1?
Sent from my potato running a potato.
Try Odin happen to me once PC didn't recognize but Odin still did. Go to stickies section in Sgs2 section find stock ROM flash after I plugged in to kies and it did the rest. This method worked for me twice when all I had was a flickering black screen. Hope it works with U. Try to put into download mode three bottom press. PM if U need more help.

Its the sgs2 from my friend android version 4.0.4 stock rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Guessing that you have hard bricked the phone, due to doing wipe on stock rom.
Not much you can do, a new motherboard is required
Can you enter download mode?
Download mode is entered by Volume Down + Home + Power pressed simultaneously when your phone is off.
Sounds like your motherboard is toast. you got warrenty? maybe theres hope
nope
no compassion at all.
If you had read just a little bit about rooting / flashing, you would have known that you should not do a CWM factory reset on stock 4.0.4 rom.
Just like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
and here:

...and so on.
I guess you have to tell your friend that you ruined his phone

Leaked LSJ Custom ROM stuck at Boot Logo

I downloaded one of the leaked custom roms of LSJ (Simplistic and Wanamlite). I flashed it, but the problem is it gets stuck with the boot logo. What seems to be the problem here? I have wiped everything. From data to cache. I came from CM10 nightlies, dorimanx kernel.
All replies will be much appreciated.
I believe the mask might be the problem because jb is new file structure. It may strip all mods from your phone.
Yu may have to wait until the offical version has been out for a while before flashing it.

Quite a possibility that the file you have download it may be corrupted so download it once again and check the md5 checksum and then flash it.. Also don't forget to wipe data and cache partition

The file was not corrupt because if it was corrupt, I cannot open it via winrar. Quite strange. I have also did a full wipe in data and cache.
Thank you for your response.

Download this cwm zip http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip after you download it. Rename it to update.zip,place it to your external sd, reboot to recovery(volume up,home button,power button)wait until you see the greendroid, flash update external storage. Reboot!and your rooted. you can now flash http://www.mediafire.com/?cjf1znoisrwafjdphils kernel for better instability flash it via odin just add it to pda.

(HELP). Random freeze and reboot.

I got the S3 with Revoulution HD S5 (smartdroid) ROM with boeffla kernel.
Lately ive been getting random freezes just in the middle of doing nothing with my phone, it just freezes and then goes to reboot, while its trying to reboot it bootloops. With that i mean its trying to reboot then screen goes black and then it tries to reboot again.. Then i have to pull the battery out and insert it again and it works (for some time.)
So my question is how can i fix this and what is the problem? Ive read some posts saying that it could be the firmware? Well i have read alot of other posts but never really find any good soulution so please HELP!

Flash the latest official stock rom with odin, factory reset then test before you install or restore anything.

Yeah, found it. Going completely stock now, without root also. Just going to try out the stock a while and see if it works. Then preferbly root and flash a custom rom again! Thanks.

i unrooted/went back to stock, then i rooted and flashed a new rom. Everything without a problem. I have only got 1 random reboot so far.. more suggestions??
If it still freezes and reboots on stock then you have bad memory blocks in your nand memory.

Change your Kernel. I am using Revolution S5 without any issue. Better install LiteGX kernel. Do not play with Kernel if your knowledge is less. LiteGX is just a plug & play Kernel.
I got the same issue.
I´m on it. I will try latest official. You should check if your emmc chip is possible broken. Just load the app emmc check and google about "SDS S3"
I´ll post a solution if i can get it solved.
