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.

I am the (un) lucky owner of a sgs2 since three days.
past days everything was fine, no probs. at all. Then this morning my phone isnt responding at all. wont go on, tried battery pull en stuff, nothing works. Is it possible it is broken after only 3 days?
are there any other tricks? anyone has the same problem?
or do i just have to go back to the store and get a new one? (problem is i bought it online so it will take a couple days for a new one )
thanks.

Hold volume down, home and power all at the same time, it should boot into download mode. If it doesn't I'd say it's dead
i tried but wont work...

i don't know if you tried this in the part "en stuff", but did you try to charge the phone? maybe the battery drained out over the night...

Yeah that's probably a pretty good idea actually mate, try charging the thing before you make a total arse of yourself in the shop
did you charge the battery?
try another battery
LOL my SGS2 just did the same thing. I was gonna reboot it after having played around with default homescreen in default.prop, it had a 100% charged battery and now it won't start up again. Its completely dead. Not even download mode works...
Gonna try to leaving it without battery for a while or drain the battery somehow (with my tounge ) and try again. If that doesn't work, it's back to the store with this one. And it was all working so well until now...
EDIT: One hour later it magically started working again!!! I didn't do anything! just left it with the battery plugged in!
thnx im going to try charging it for a day, but i think its completely dead...
My brother's just told me that his S2 has died... he's not been able to get a 3G signal all day, and when he hard-reset the phone, it's come back with "Processing Error" and won't start.
hey,about a week ago I flashed my galaxy s2 with Resurrection ROM,everything went great,I also wiped emmc in the recovery(before I knew about the hard brick bug)
anyways everything was fine,restored via titanium backup,after about an hour I wanted to restart my phone,so it turned off,but never turned on,it won't respond to charging,usb connections won't go to download mode nor recovery..just makes some heat (as it was turned on)
so I took it to a well known repair shop and told me he could revive it with a J-Tag
but I'am just worried :s
what could be the problem?
What could the problem be ? Without opening your phone up & having a look/testing how would we know ?
Sounds like something on the mainboard or the USB/charging circuitry might have died given it died suddenly & not while you were in the process of flashing something/similar, though if he's telling you it's fixable with JTAG then he obviously thinks it's a NAND issue.
Take it to another repairer & get 2nd opinion (or a 3rd, 4th, etc).

No only samsung I believe. And samsung kernels

I tried different charging methods (wallcharger, usb) and used different battery's (standard 1650Mah & Extended Battery Kit 2000 Mah)
Is there something i can do because its way to early to buy another phone!
And just because i want to have it fixed

My phone dead too.. Was using NeatRomLite and there was no issue with it.. And today... *sniff sniff*.. in the middle of using the phone, it got stuck.. I pulled the battery.. gave it 2 min.. and tried to power it on.. nothin.. no download mode, no recovery, no charging indicators.. nothin.. it has as much functionality as a piece of rock now :crying:
Any updates on your S2's???
today i checked my phone and within an hour the battery had gone down from 70% to 30% and was hot reading 48 degrees celcius on widgetsoid monitor. i rebooted and it kept on draining till it got to 0 and turned off. once i got home and tried to charge through USB and A/C but nothing happens, the phone wont turn on or charge, blank screen. i saw it flash the battery charging icon for about a second but it went away straight away. about a month ago i was running cm9 and then flashed 4.0.4 to have a look at the differences but not long after flashed siyah kernel with odin and restored my cm9 cwm backup. i have been on cm9 and siyah kernel for a long time and thats what it had running today. ive had usb and a/c and misc charging current set to 600mA for quite a while as well, and when i charge the phone in my car it always gets a bit hot on the back.
is my phone dead from hardbrick or a problem with the usb charging circuit?
i have enquired about warranty where i bought it from and now waiting to hear back from them.
Suddenly my phone won't charge. Do I need a new battery?
Here's the details ...
Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100)
CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly (10.1-20121229-NIGHTLY-i9100).
I've had it for almost 2 years.
If I leave it plugged in, everything works fine. I can boot it up and use it normally. The lockscreen display and status bar indicate that it's charging, but it stays at 0%. If I unplug the charger, it shuts down right away.
It also seems warmer than it should be while plugged in, but I'm not certain that's part of the problem.
The results are the same whether I use the charger or a USB cable connected to the computer.
There's an immediate reaction when I plug it in or unplug it, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the charger or the port.
I've tried removing and re-inserting the battery with no change. I've also rebooted it several times... it shuts down when I unplug it anyway.
It just happened today, and I haven't installed or updated any software in the last several days. I have auto-updates in the Play store turned off. So it's not a software issue. The ROM was the last thing I updated and that was on the 30th.
I think the battery is really empty because I can't power it on at all if it's not plugged in. So, it's not just that the battery level indicator is wrong.
Hopefully, all I need is to replace the battery, but I was hoping someone here could confirm that or suggest what else might be wrong.
Thank you.
Check contact pins see if they are bent away or have crap on them. If not it sounds like the battery is dead, but I assume you already knew this.
I had already checked all connections and didn't find any damage or other problems. I bought a new battery today and that seems to have solved the problem.
Thank you.

I needed to write because this topic is on top on google results. I've lived the same today. A while ago i had a sudden battery decrease issue. There i was suggested to remove the battery and wait for a while. I tried this today. Removed the battery (simcard and memory card also... i just felt desperate). Waited for a while (i gues it was about half an hour). Plugged to charge. And my battery contiued charging from %61. I just showed wrong level.
This issue is happening to me too=/ but it happened to both my batteries in the space of two weeks
.
hi i have the same problem. i bought a new battery as mine was kaput. then a few days after that i needed a new charger port. now my phone wont turn on manually but when it is on charge it will randomly turn on for 10 seconds with 0% battery and then turn off. i tried doing the reboot with the power, home and vol up button but nothing happens. do i need another new battery?
I don't think it's the battery. I think it has something to do with these custom kernels and ROMs. I've been battling this problem for months with no results.
- I have a new battery, new cable, cleaned pins.
- Tried Lollipop, CM12 with kernel, one or two other kernels.
- Tried various KK ... CM11, Dominanx Kernel, some others too.
None work properly. I love all the updates but it's I just can't pin the problem down on my S2. I'd love to know what else I can do because I think I've exhausted all possibilities. Maybe JB is the only option? I dunno.
Help would be great on this.

Hi,
if you think the problem is custom ROMs then why don't you just go back to stock ROM and try?

I thought it might have been the pcb. I replaced that too but even that didn't completely revive the battery life. Went back and forth between JB and various customs mods to no avail. I ended up selling it for parts locally
Loved that S2 but it was time to walk away from it

I also had the same problem once. What I did was, went to recovery mode and charged for 1 hour and voila,it was charged till 21% only sadly. But by then,it has never rebooted like that!:angel:
hey ive also had a similar problem in which my j1 (Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)) started to randomly shut down or restart around 2 months ago. Then, the battery would start jumping percentages like 100%, to 54%, then 33, back up to 84 in around 10 minutes. Then when I tried to charge it, it would stay at 0% and when Id unplug it, it would say 100% and shut down. Around late last month i ordered a replacement battery, it came in yesterday and worked fine up until a few hours ago. Now when i try to charge it it would stay at 0%.
Solution
1.Turn OFF Phone
2. Pull battery out
wait few sec
3. Connect charger
4. Put battery in
5. Turn Phone ON
Working for me. If not prob replace battery :fingers-crossed:
Here's how it happened :
Flashed latest Dorimanx kernel last night on the latest Disaster Rom and then began texting,watching some youtube,usual stuff and then went to sleep.
In the morning I couldn't turn it on.
Then I hold the power button but it went bootlooping and kept staying on that Dorimanx starting image.
I succesfully booted and it showed battery at 9% ( it was at 90% when I went to bed).
My first thought was to wipe cache so I did that.But here's the problem.
It got stuck at wiping cache and nothing happened so I removed the battery and then it was dead.No sign of life.
So my question is: It's completely bricked and I can get it returned whitout them knowing that I have been using custom ROM's ?
Cheers

Did you tried to charge it for at least 20 minutes?
If it won't charge, try to replace battery...
Bootloop is not a big deal (wipes will do the job) try replace/charge battery first, then if you still have problems just flash stock via odin and start over...
What I'm trying to say it's that it doesn't show any sign of life.No download mode,no recovery,no nothing.
I've left it with the charger plugged in for about 3 hours and nothing.

check the battery voltage, and or charge the battery externally. make sure its not a power issue first.
And what we're trying to say is try another battery. If that doesn't work, finita la musica.

Yoh. It happened to me before. Some said charge your phone for a while. If it becomes warm near the battery, you can unbrick it a jig.
But my phone didn't get warm. So, I send it to the Samsung service center and yesterday I got it back.
Samsung messed with me for two times! I'm not going to buy another samsung.
That's nice. I've had my phone 15 months & had zero problems with it. Funny about that (there's a hint in there for people clever enough to figure it out).

Hey no worries bro I have bricked 2 sgs2's already and 1 sgs3. Yours is not bricked, happened to me as well. All you must do is connect usb to pc, while keeping the battery out. Then try turn it on normally. then, while it is on, insert your battery again and leave it to charge via usb for a while(tille batt is at least 85%, what I did). Then, before unplugging usb, turn phone off. Unplug usb and go into recovery and flash as per usual. You should be good now. Hope it helps.

Another guy had a problem somewhat similar to this... phone went dead, had charging issues. His phone claimed it was charging but wouldn't start or anything. Try just leaving it on the charger for a few days.
It was as if the charging circuit on his phone went bananas. He literally had to charge it for a couple days. A couple hours wasn't enough

Best I can say is reflash your ROM from scratch. Sounds like your backup was corrupt somehow.
