I know this has been asked dozens if not hundreds of times, but it seems everyone has bricked their phone by rooting.
My phone has never been rooted, and I have had it working fine for at least 9 months now.
It was working all day and when I got home from school I plugged it into the charger the same as every night and when I woke up it was stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy III" screen.
I have no idea how to fix this please help, I cannot get into recovery mode it just says "recovery 'something'" and disappears quickly then shows the Logo Screen again before shutting off.
I can get into download mode and I guess I have to start from there.
I don't want to do a wipe without at least getting into it in safe mode somehow and backing up some things, please help.
Oh and if it helps no new software was added since the last reboot, the only thing I could think of that changed from it working fine to this morning was my alarm? It was supposed to go off sometime in the morning maybe that froze it up? Other than that I have no idea why it would brick all of a sudden

Sounds like "half SDS" which requires Motherboard replacement.
Please boot into download mode and let me know what it says there.

The i9300 has a bug that wipes out the internal memory and causes symproms like yours, however I think only the i9300 has this bug.

lol don't scare the guy to much, i actually found out it "is" 9v a/c, granted he never got back to me on the restarting thing i told him to do
Sorry guys been crazy... I tried rebooting... It just rebooted back into bootloader.
the Only options I can select are:
Bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
Bootloader gives me:
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
clear storage
simlock
image crc
selecting recovery takes me back to bootloader screen..
Where to go from here?

Okay so i have let this sit for a while now becuase i just said forget about it i will get a new one later in time. well i changed my mind. A while back i tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 (Model: YP-Gl1CB/XAA) And (I believe this is what happened) I didn't pay attention to what i was doing and i believe i replaced the boot-loader with a WIFI backup? I know chances are i cannot fix this and its garbage now but i would like to give it one more shot. hopefully if i didn't explain something up here the pictures will help.

I know i didn't go into much detail. but if someone can help it would be much appreciated. also if anyone needs more detail i will be glad to add more.
EDIT: I have been able to get to the download mode main screen (press up to go into download mode or down to cancel and reboot.) but pressing up locks it up again.

Dude you if actually did that you replaced your bootloader files the core of download/odin mode so you cannot flash any rom or kernel to fix that but i have had a similar problem on my 4.2 use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308221 from an experienced gp dev to fix mine (read through the comments) (i never replaced my bootloader files so i cannot guarantee this fix just had the error screen )but if you actually replaced your bootloader files you may have a hard bricked player try a usb jig it may not do much but you never know

Hello, I have a little question, recently a friend told me if I can fix his i9100, cause "it remains at logo"
My surprise was that the phone doesnt even charge, when I plug it to the power, a battery that aparently is loading apears, for 2 segs, and then the screen turn off, and then the battery icon agains, and remains in a infinite loop but wont charge
Someone have this problem and knows how to repair it? I wish the problem isnt hardware :/

Thank you very much for your answer, it makes me happy that possibly the problem has a fix, but, please, can you link me the fix, i searched before (maybe i didn't search properly) but I didn't found it, please help me, thanks in advance!
You will have to reflash a stock rom using ODIN. Don't worry because there are many guides over the internet. Guide: http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/tutorials/how-to-restore-the-stock-samsung-galaxy-s2-rom/
Make sure you download the rom for the correct version of phone!
Once you've flashed stock rom, make sure to factory reset and wipe cache partition. (note: don't do this if you are going to flash ics because this might hard brick your device)

Maybe it is a battery problem... Try a new battery.
Tried with a new battery, and same problem :/
OK. So i started with a Galaxy S4 Verizon 4.4.2 (bought refurbished, no sim, not activated).
As soon as i put the sim in at verizon store and started using phone all was good. I immediately root the phone w Towelroot. Use Safestrap and flash the Hyperdrive Rom. Excellent. In my exitment i try the Super6 Rom. Iam now at
Android 5.0.2
baseband i545vrugoc1
kernal 3.4.0-4584173
build gogolies super6-.i545vrugoc1
I can make and receive calls but have no internet and no texting
I cant work until this is fixed. Is ther any hope for me?

Download Kies and update, but if it doesn't work or you want to have the ability to keep flashing roms(will wipe data):
1)Download and unzip odin
3)Turn off you s4
4)Hold the power, home and Volume down keys if you boot into something like the picture continue or try again

5)Use you volume keys to press continue
6)Download the .tar from this forum(odexed or deodexed try both) or if the link doesn't work search xda for sch-i545 OF1 tar
7)Right click odin and run as administrator
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE PIT AND OPTIONS Section
8)Check the AP button(PDA in some versions of Odin)
9)Press the AP/PDA button and find the rom that you downloaded
Look at this image for reference, you should have something where each of the arrows point.
10)Press start(not liable for anything this may cause)
11) See if it works!

I can take the battery out to shut it off but as soon as the bettery goes in it turnes on automatically. I can only go into download mode and connect to odin and thats it.

Can you send a screenshot of your computer when on Odin and a picture of your phone? It would really help.
not sure how to do that. My tablet took some terrible pics.

Hello everybody, I have a problem with my s8 plus Samsung, suddenly my phone froze, and begin to restart, almost 15 times or more. Then I did a force restart by holding volume down and power button, and after then its start-up usually for 10min, and again restarts, after I connecting to the power cable to changing, it stops charging. Then didn't response for nothing. DEAD, and after I leave it for a couple of hours, I tried to enter safe mode and to wipe cache memory. I thought maybe some app is causing a problem, and I run a test, and it shows me like this. On google, I found that probably is the motherboard, but somebody says its maybe last android update. And my friend says that perhaps it is RAM. Can somebody help me, I only want to access my phone to enter the gallery and save photos, then after that, the phone can be lifetime dead, it doesn't concern me. Thanks for helping me

Finally, after almost 12h, I successfully power on my phone, and when I turn on, it showed me this error. Now I think maybe is everything ok with the motherboard because when I type on google this problem, it says that after Samsung Knox update, many users have this problem with the phone.
