[HELP] S3 won't boot/load after battery drain! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 had this problem. I connected my car charger in my car, brought it up to 180Km/h on the highway, and blink, the green light came on, then it charged, and Walla, it turned on. hope this helps.

not yet fixed my problem guys....any one who knows solution for this problem please help me
Take it back to the shop.
If it oesnt turn on they wont be able to see you have rooted it.
They will either fix it or if you have insurance or warrenty give you a new one.
Ps, if you have insurenace make sure you dont lose it or have it stolen...
Dude it looks like you have the weird motherboard problem I think it can't be fixed with flashing :/ take it back to the shop, if you rooted it the worst it can happen is that they are going to tell you to that they are not going to fix your phone or something, but at least you should give it a try (((*._.)

i had this problem once..... just go and borrow someone's X10 and charge the BATTERY, or buy a separate charger... dont charge through your phone...
after charge up to more then 50%... then u can flash it to whatever you want
hope that helps
Hey, about that charge thing. My battery died once when flashing, I placed it on charger for 9 hours and it didn't charge. But the trick is... I placed it on charge using USB cable, Just plug it in and leave it turned off. No light will appear probably since your phone SW is busted but it will definitely charge.
i have the same problem ...but the thing is ..i have a friend battery and still not working ..and when i plug the phone to charge it ...the battery is charging but the phone still dosent turn on and the warranty is out ..becouse this problem that i have after started after 2..3 weeks when the warranty was out( sorry for my english)
I had this problem too
I fix it with sony pc companyon

Turns off while charging

Hi all,
I've searched for an answer and couldn't find one.
My Galaxy turns itself off while charging and most of the time, I have to take the battery out to turn it on again.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
First, caused by AC charger or USB PC or both ?
Your firmware version and rooted, mods etc ?
Have you tried a factory reset ?
Different chargers and cables etc ?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
Only by AC charger I think. I've only got the one which came in the box.
It's a standard phone, not rooted or anything.
I haven't tried a factory reset, will try that tomorrow if it does it again tonight

op says his turns off WHILE charging, so yours and his isn't doing the same thing.
Actually, mine is doing that too!
This morning, it turned itself off while charging, then when I turned it back on it froze, and then when I rebooted, it turned off again with the blue light flashing.
I'm also finding that the screen when waking up is very temperamental to unlock.
I'm getting fed up now!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Hardware failure maybe? (I think the main reason is the AC adaptor was broken or something).
Have you try with another USB AC adapter?

I think it might be something to do with wireless being on. Sounds stupid, but when I have wireless on, I get the screen freeze and the turn off while charging.
Going to try the rest of the evening with no wireless and see what happens
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Well, I tried the wireless off and charged and it was fine. No screen freeze or turn off during charging.
As soon as I turned it on this morning, screen froze when it went into sleep.
Luckily I I have unlimited data!

Have you bothered to Factory Reset ?
Sounds like WiFi drivers though.
Flash another kernel would must likely fix it.

Did anyone get to the bottom of this? I just received my replacement phone and sure enough, phone switches itself off when wifi enabled.
Then I saw the *#0011# trick to turn off wifi power save mode.
Hi,
No, I haven't got this sorted yet. Still does it with me and now my wifi and data keeps dropping out!
Going to send it back to 3 and let them fix it. My friend as one and his is fine

The thing i mentioned above your post works but not sure if that's the answer.
Hi again,
Well I rooting and putting a new ROM on and, though it didn't switch off while charging, it does still freeze when coming out of sleep.
So I'm getting there!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try to check the temp when charging, I read somewhere that if the phone overheats it will shutdown automatically. About the freezing issue, try to do a factory reset first, maybe some apps that you installed are causing that.
If still the same, maybe its a hardware issue.
Hi again,
Sorry to keep going on about this, but the problem has been solved!
Basically, the new firmware update has sorted the problem. No turning off while charging, no freezing when coming out of sleep - its perfect!

Check your settings.
Go into developer options and make
Sure " stay awake " isn't checked,
As this forces the screen to stay
when on charge
Sorry just re read your post

Which Rom are you using??
This problem started when I flashed the 3rd preview build of cm10.. after that I flashed back to stock ics but still the problem was there.
If you put the battery back in immediately after pulling it off, the phone will turn on again by itself.. you have to wait for some time and the put the battery back.

Go to settings-storage-other and tick everything. You will loose some data. Then reboot to download mod and flash firmware again. Now the problem is solved!

[Q] S3 won't turn on after charging..

Hi guys,
I had my S3 on the charger overnight, as I usually do, with the phone turned on.
This morning I woke up and as usual the LED shows a green light, but the phone appears to be off..
No matter what I try, I can't get it to turn on now.. Also if I plug it back in, I don't get any LED showing..
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

can you go to recovery mode? (col up+home button+power button) if so, you can try wiping caches/dalvik cache.. better yet do a factory reset.. and if it still does not boot. IF you can go to download mode (col down+home button+power button), you can flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com but you have to have an account there first to download the fw.
I hope this helps
Hey guys,
I've had the battery out for around 2 hours now, and it still won't turn on. None of the key combos work (recovery, download modes etc..)
Any other ideas?
Dan
So anyone have any other ideas? I've ordered a jig, but that will take a few days to come, and I don't even know if that's the problem..
Really like to get this sorted today.. Just seems like it came out of nowhere!

Logic says first step is to try a new battery .
Then try USB Jig .

Yeah. I actually tried someone else's battery tonight. Still no dice. Waiting for the USB jig to arrive. :/ if that fails I have no ideas..

I'm guessing that if they got the phone going, even though my binary count is 0, they might void my warranty due to using a custom ROM?

So, I had a go at making my own USB jig using a single 300k ohm resistor.. and either I didn't do it right, or the jig won't fix it

Phone not starting

Today morning, my phone was at a charge of 10% and I put it on charge and after sometime my phone went off and since then it's not starting.
I tried the USB cable. The charger also but nothing is working.
I don't know how to start it.
Any type of help will be very appreciated.
Phone does not turn on when battery is <5%. Charge your phone using the original Motorola charger, preferably use wall charger for say 30 mins at least. If it does not work, try different plug point.

Well if still nothing works you can use the factory cable either make it other buy one on ebay and use it Rsd lite back to stock and bring the phone back up to life

But in my case its a bit different, the notification light is no more blinking or something. It's just the black screen. Not turning on at all.
Tonight I will leave my phone on charge for more than 7 hours for sure. I really hope it starts.

I have ordered for a factory cable. I am gonna try putting up a new ROM on the phone. Let's see if that works.
I recalled one more thing, before my phone got bricked, the day prior to that I used battery calibration application on my phone. Do you think that would have affected my phone?
