Hi guys,
I am having an issue with my S3....I have been flashing omegas rom onto my S3 for a while now and its all been fine. put v33.2 on there....working fine for a few days...then all of a sudden phone started to slow down every now again hanging etc, then phone just had a black screen today....nothing happened..no response the battery wasn't as i had just charged it.
Tried battery pull kept it out for 15 minutes, nothing, put the charger in nothing. Left the charger in for a couple hours now..nothing, tried a new battery also nothing. I cant get to the flashing screen to download screen nothing at all.
HELP!!!!!
Thanks.
Sounds like it needs a trip to a Samsung service centre.
Yes has to be sent back samsung/warranty, but first he has to get rid of the custom ROM somehow...
Sounds like another sudden death case.
Don't worry about custom ROM if phone is dead Samsung have no way of knowing, they'll just replace the mobo

Today pressed the home button to turn screen of as per usual, and went to turn it back on to get into phone, and nothing happened...
ive tried taking the battery out, plugging into power, booting into recovery.
nothing...
it does have custom rom installed (omega 33.2)
help would be grand right about now :/
cheers,
Are you sure it didn't run out of battery ?

Condolences, and join the club: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
As you have no warranty its worth trying a USB recovery jig .

cheers guys, took it into vodafone yesterday and their sending it off to samsung, sounds like the ultimate sudden death issue, but cracked the screen a few weeks prior so hopefulyl samsumg dont try pin it on user error, see what happens i guess
Hey guys.
My S3 just died on me.
I left it charging over night, in the morning pulled it out - battery 100% - and play on it for about 5 mins.
After that I simply left the phone on the table, and after a couple of hours, when I picked it up to make a phone call, the phone was shut down.
I tried to turn it on - nothing. Tried the 3-button combinations, nothing! I pulled the battery out and everything - nothing.
I then left it for charge for about 10-15 mins and then tried again - nothing (
Left it charging for a couple of hours, also tried with a other 3 chargers and cables - nope!
I went to a samsung store and tried a new battery, same same
It seems that I have to send it for repairs, but there is a bigger problem: I have a custom rom installed on it - therefore no warranty(
Is there a way of flashing the stock rom with it like this?
Any ideas or anyone had the problem?

Looks like you GS3 died completly (motherboard) , so don't worry that you have a custom rom, they will not be able to check it anyway.
Good luck

Ok, so you say that it might still be covered by warranty?
Won't they still be able to check the flash count?
Thanks!

Yes , if is dead motherboard is still under warranty and no they cannot and they will not check anything. Check the sudden death thread and you will see how many are with same problem as you and they got their phones fixed without any problem.

This happened to my S3, and i wasn't able to open it for 1 day.
-it's charging
-but cant turn on
i tried to pushed a bit hard the on/off button for many times. and BoooooOM!
i was thinking that the problem was on/off button contact.
well, u can try. but if not. better to send it to samsung
thank you all for your responses .. i guess i'll send it to samsung
yesterday the battery of my s3 was very low (around 2%) and i went to sleep without charging it. When i woke up after about 4 hours or so the phone was dead. I plugged it to wall charger but nothing changed i mean there was no battery sign or LED light. I thought the battery is completely drained so i left it there for about 15 min. When i checked again there was still nothing. I tried to turn in on but no response, unplugged the charger took out the battery then put it in , still no response. so i just left it there to charge for half about half an hour. Then i tried to turn it on again but still nothing. I tried recovery mode but no response. then i tried download mode and it did got to download mode. Now i thought it was OK so i restarted the phone but again it wont respond (Black Screen). I tried the download mode again(wall charger was plugged in the whole time). The phone did go to download mode but the screen started to Flicker and when i restarted it the boot screen(I-9300) turned up(still a little flickerish). and then it stuck there for a while. Then it went black. Again i left it to charge for about another half an hour. Now when i tried to turn it on, recovery mode or download mode Nothing happened, there was no response.
Then i started reading different threads on internet but couldnt seem to find anyone else with similar problem. Btw i checked the charger on Note and it was charging fine. then i tried to charge my s3 through laptop and the battery sign appeared and phone started to charge. I turned it after a while and it turned on Ok.
My phone is rooted , custom rom -Omega 39 with Custom Kernel Yank555 and Philz Recovery v4
Now my question is, Is there something wrong with my set? i mean the non responsive state and screen flickering. Should i get it checked or was it something that just sort of happens. Has anybody else faced a similar problem?. what can i do to avoid it in the future.
*Sorry for such a long post, its my first time. and i read about the S3 Sudden Death and now i am freaking out!..

I know this sounds silly but its not in "hardsleep" as some people would call it, where the phone is idle for too long and basically shuts its self down? Or it could be the sudden death issue associated with the s3. This probably isn't much help but its a suggestion, I've never come across this before

Try a different charger and cable. The s3 ones are notoriously crap.

someone help plz...
in november 2012 i bought s2 and after 10 months my s2 turned off without any reason.. i tried everything but my phone was not turning on... infact recovery and downlod mode were also not working... many posts on xda told me that my phone is dead and need a motherboard replacement... but the hilarious moment was " my phone turned on exactly after 48 hours".... i was too happy and i forgot everything that what happened with me...
then in october 2013 my s2 again suddenly turned off without any reason
everything was black and again exactly after 48 hours it turned on...
now today my phone is again turned off... and i hope it will again turn on after 48 hours...
can anyone of you plz tell me what type of fault is it????
why this **** is happening with my phone???
plz help me because i think one day my phone will turn off and will never turn on again or it will keep turning off on daily basis
show in service centre
Are u using stock rom? How did that happen in the first place? Maybe some screws need tightening or something.
Gangster89 that's pretty strange.
Did you ever let the phone fall hard on the ground and are the battery contacts still good? What ROM and kernel do you have installed.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
not at all... my phone never fall never contacted with water... first i was on biftor rom v10 but after 1st time issue i changed the rom to stock jelly bean but now my phone is again turned off... it has been 6 days passed and my phone is not turning on except going into download mode only when it is connected to pc usb
thanks for your replies and sorry for my poor english
about 2 months ago i put my phone on charging and i was out for some personel work... after 5 to 6 hours i came back and removed my phone from charging and i logged into facebook app, after 5 to 10 minutes my phone turned off and then it continues till yet
now whenever i connect it to the charger or pc usb i get an empty grey battery icon with 3 seconds intervals... i have tried a fully charged battery of another s2 of my friend but still failed to boot up... my own battery works fine on my friend's s2 that means its not the battery fault
9329638 32
Is the battery the original one that came with the phone?
Do you checked the voltage of the battery?
I recommend you to try with another battery when the phone will die again and see if it can start wiht another battery!
Good luck!
yes bro the battery is original... and i have tried another battery but the results are still same... phone doesn't boot up, its not about battery because my battery works fine in my friend's s2
now here is another thing... when i connected phone to pc in download mode, odin showed up this dialogue box... can any one of you plz translate this?? will be very thankful
