Hi there
I am from India and I have bought a Samsung galaxy S3 SGH-I747 16GB Blue unlocked T-Mobile phone with 2GB RAM on line from Ebay. The phone is working fine till I put it in to washing machine. After 10 mints I came to know the phone is in the washing machine and I took it out and removed the battery open the parts, wiped the water and keep the phone in the sunlight by covering my kerchief around 2 hours. After 12 hours I have set the parts and put the phone in to the charger. Immediately I have received the message "Charging paused. Battery temperature is low" message. Any how I keep the phone in the charger and connected it to USB of the PC more than 8 hours and finally it charged. The audio speaker and mic is not working but hear speaker is working after fell in to water.But the battery backup was not there and battery drained in hour. Then I have buy one combatable battery and using it. It is also not long lasting and stand by only 4 hours even without using the phone.
On the other part I try to upgrade to JB 4.2.2. I rooted the phone successfully. First I have taken backup of the OEM ROM and tried with upgrading to JB 4.2.2 with cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-d2att-M3. It's failed. Then I tried with aokp_d2att_jb-mr1_build-6. It's installed and working fine. But it's not JB4.2.2. Then I searched for compatible another ROM and fine Hyperdrive RLS13 Universal S3. I have reflashed with procedure and installed Hyperdrive RLS13 Universal S3. It's working fine but "google play store" is not working. Then I tried with another ROM CARBON-JB-v1.7-d2att. It is also working fine but not JB 4.2.2. In between I have restored the OEM from backup two times. The I found Samsung I9300XXUFME3_I9300OJKFME1_ILO. tried with this is not installed. Then I revert to CARBON-JB-v1.7-d2att. Then I found Liquid-JB-v2.4-OFFICIAL-l900 and installed it. The installation is completed and when I restarted the phone nothing happened and I have waited for 1/2 hour. After that phone is even not powering on. I tried by removing battery and keep the phone idle for hours, insert the USB cable with PC and removed the battery and re inserted it. Nothing happened. No power indicator light is shown and I removed the battery and inserted the USB with connected PC. While inserting the USB cable, the power indicator is just flashing. But the phone is either not charging nor power on. Please help me to get ride of this problem.

I bought the Anker charger/2 batteries set in this thread awhile back - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632718
Had not used them before, but hurricane Sandy is coming through so I figured I would test them out. I put one in the charger last night and put it in the phone this morning, and now the phone will not boot up all the way - it shows the Samsung bootscreen, then the KingKangers logo screen, and then shuts off. I've had this same issue with both of the new batteries along with my original Samsung battery.
I have tried to put it into recovery and download mode, at one point it showed the download mode screen and then shut off again. Recovery mode has not worked at all. Tried holding power for 30 seconds while both plugged in and not plugged in, no luck. Saw a recommendation to take out SIM, SD card, and battery for 10 mins and then put them back, and that didn't work as well. Tried to see if ODIN would "wake it up", but ODIN does not recognize it (tried two cables from two different computers). Computer also doesn't recognize my phone to look at my files, etc.
Also, when I plug it in to charge with the battery in place, it does small vibrations - I have noticed this is the same thing the phone does if I plug it in to charge it without a battery in...worried this may mean my phone is not recognizing the battery for some reason??
Any ideas? Any help is MUCH appreciated...
FWIW, running AOKP and Dagr8's KingKangers kernel, been running it for the last week or so with no real issues other than occasional reboot.
tl;dr my note 2 won't charge from an outlet or PC tested with 4 cables including the stock samsung cable/wall charger
Backstory: I rooted my note 2 a number of months ago, around April, and ran it with the rooted stock firmware. Then, a week ago, my device stopped connecting to my computer (which I believe was a driver issue) and then I somehow managed to soft-brick my device ("Verizon has detected unauthorized software" or something of the like on boot) and then reset it back to unrooted stock android using this guide, specifically section 1b using VRAMC3. It then would boot properly.
Present day: My note 2 won't charge using a wall outlet or a PC. I have only used the out-of-the-box samsung wall outlet, but have tried 4 different cables for each medium including the stock samsung usb cable, and multiple ports on my PC. When I plug the cable in, my device (which is dead) shows a battery with a white arrow in a circle for a few seconds and then goes black. If I try to turn the device on with the power button, it shows the same icon. Before I unrooted my device, it would charge without issue. I left it plugged in overnight and it did not charge at all. It was powered on for an hour or so after I unrooted it and it would not charge during that interval either.
I would assume that the port is bad, but it seems to recognize when I plug in the cable because it shows the battery icon, and the issue only came about after I unrooted it.
Any insight you could provide would be much appreciated.

the charging is run by the i/o drivers in the phone. I would try to odin the phone back to stock root and run a new recovery if you can come across a charged battery.
Similar Issue
I have similar issue as OP. My rooted device with TWRP stopped charging and once it died has become unusable. I have received my replacement device and now have 5 days to return the broken one. I want to return the old device to stock (as possible) before returning it, but even after charging the battery with the replacement device, I cannot communicate with it via USB. So using the Odin mentioned in Q&A section is not possible. I am trying to think of another way to flash a stock recovery and rom to the phone, perhaps by placing the files on the micro sd. I need to get rid of TWRP and return the OS to stock if at all possible. Does anyone have any ideas?
You can use the hidden menu apk and enable the adb through it or send me the snapshot if devise manager after connecting your devise to pc

Same Issue...
I rooted using TWRP and no issues. Then last night plugged my phone in and it did not respond. I tried 6 different cables on different power usb sources as well as the pc with no luck. I happen to have an old note 2 with a cracked screen which I charged and switched batteries. What should I do? When plugged in, it charges for 2 seconds thens stops... Help!
Updated "Please help: VZW S4 not charging..." (The refurb/replacement is busted)
First of all, big thanks to this whole community and the wealth of info that led me through my first time rooting and flashing ROMs. But now on to the sour part (search didn't bring up anything useful to my situation).
Short history of phone in case it helps:
I've been rooted since June (rooted on MDK). I've been on the CM 10.1 and then 10.2 nightlies ever since. I've followed all directions, and am glad to say that I had a great experience (a few hiccups from dirty flashing a few times, but nothing that couldn't get sorted). Last ROM I was on was CM 10.2 nightly from 2013-10-11.
Anyway, last night my battery gets low, but I didn't charge it right away. It got down to about 8%, and then I try to charge, but the battery icon doesn't indicate charging. Indeed after a few minutes fiddling, the % drops to 7%. Trying to charge it while powered off caused the phone to vibrate once every 5-10 seconds or so, but no LED or on-screen indication it's charging. I tried my wife's S4 charger and cable. Same result, not charging. I restored to a previous CM nightly backup I had from September. Same result, still not charging. I restored to my rooted stock ROM backup made right after I first rooted in June. Same result, not charging. Charging from the wall or PC doesn't make a difference. I ended swapping batts with my wife, using her stock never-been-rooted S4 to charge my batt, which worked just fine.
The USB port on my phone does work since I could see the device in Odin. Tried reflashing the stock kernel. Still not charging. I spent the rest of last night restoring to out-of-the-box stock. Now I'm back to a completely stock, unrooted S4 (still on MDK kernel, haven't accepted update to ME7), and it still won't charge. No notices or anything that the charger is connected. Except this morning, for no reason discernible to me, I now get the following warning message when I connect my or my wife's charger:
"The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with this phone."
Thoughts, please? And thanks in advance to you all.
Update 1 at 2013-10-13T17:30EDT
So I did some more digging and came across what looks like a similar problem (that's what I get for not using Google for search anymore). Sorry, can't post links yet.
forums.androidcentral.com/rogers-samsung-galaxy-s4/297925-samsung-galaxy-s4-not-charging-grey-battery.html
The biggest difference is that I don't get the grey battery symbol when plugged in while powered off, just the cyclic vibrating. And mine doesn't charge at a reduced rate at all (I lost 7% battery in 45 minutes while plugged in and powered off due to all the vibrating).
Further, my "incompatible charger" warning has ceased. I'm just back to the phone not recognizing a charger is plugged in at all. Phone still talks to my PC just fine though.
Is it likely I need to replace the USB charging port flex cable as suggested in the Android Central post? Thanks for anyone reading and pondering.
Did you try to flash back to stock?

Yes. I flashed via Odin back to unrooted stock (MDK kernel) and stock recovery, which is the phone's current config. I haven't yet done the ME7 update, but it auto-downloaded today, just haven't installed it.
How long have you had the phone? My suggestion would be to make another backup and put it on your computer. Then restore back to full stock, no root or anything. Take it to Verizon / Best Buy and tell them it's not charging. Hopefully it's not water damaged.

I've had the phone since the end of May (so I've owned it 4.5 months). Since I've already restored to full stock, I'm thinking tomorrow I'll take it to a VZW store near me to see what they say. Is Samsung's manufacturer warranty handled through VZW? Or do I deal with Samsung directly? Note, I have no extra insurance/warranty on the phone.
That should be manufacture warranty and you normally have1 year from purchase. Good luck and again just ensure you completely wipe it off all root and custom Roms. They'll try to blame it on that.

Back to VZW to replace the replacement phone
Update:
I went to my local VZW store on Monday and they tried cleaning the USB port. No luck, so they shipped me a refurb since this is still under the 1 year hardware warranty. I paid the extra for overnight shipping. My refurb phone arrived yesterday. I moved over my sim, micro SD, and battery from the old phone to the refurb/replacement phone, and plugged in the wall charger. BOOM, battery starts charging no problem :victory:. I spent last night getting my phone all set up. I also checked and this phone has the ME7 update so no more CM or any other ROM for now :crying:.
But otherwise, everything looked good with the replacement device...until this morning. I had the phone powered off all night, tried turning it on this morning and it won't turn on. Won't boot normally, won't boot into recovery, won't boot into download. Tried a battery pull...no luck. The phone had like 95% battery when I shut it off last night. Now, when I plug in the wall charger, the phone buzzes once, the grey battery icon with the circle shows up for 10-15 seconds, then the screen goes blank, then that sequence repeats.
Back to VZW today to get the replacement phone replaced .
dang...you have some bad luck. I had some similar issues and the phone seemed to fix itself?? Did not want to lose custom recovery, so actualy ordered an external charger and two batteries and of course the day the batteries came, the phone started charging normally again. Anyways...good luck...hopefully the new device wont have the newest update (which i dont think it's ota yet...just over wire). Dont let the store update anything at all or you may not even be able to root!
The title says it all. My brothers Note 2 will only boot past the Galaxy Note 2 boot screen if it is connected to the charger. It doesn't matter if it is a USB or wall charge. If the phone is connected to a power source it boots into the system fine, however, once you remove it from the power source it turns off. I was wondering if it could be a bad battery but the charge is showing it at almost 80%. Has anyone ran into something like this before? If I try to boot the phone without it being connected, it sits at the Note 2 screen for about 15 seconds and then shuts itself off.
I'm not really sure but it sounds like the internals of the battery are closing up (shorting). Are you able to get another battery to test and see if it is the battery?
Note 2 - Boots , Loops, No SDS Detected as per eMMC checker on play store

Having same issues
Seems it hardware plus software issue.
Running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Happened after installing few games .
Goes in constant boot loop
Can start by attaching power cord only to socket.
With USB attached to Laptop .. still goes in loop
Powerbank is workaround.
Seems to reboot when saving to sd card ..
Will keep posted

The problem, after getting a stock image back on the phone, ended up being a bad battery. The phone wouldn't hold a charge even though the charging image showed otherwise. Once you get a working image on there, try replacing the battery. I ordered an eight dollar cheapo battery from Amazon and it worked like a charm.

I second this. My phone went down Saturday. Thought it was something with CyanogenMod 11, but flashing back to stock did nothing. Replaced the battery, haven't had any problems since.

So plan to do it via the mobile repair shop
Had same issue. Solved after replace the battery.
I have the same issue right now as well. I was on stock for awhile and used casual one click method, switched between a few roms. Than it started happening after that. So I flashed back to stock on odin and still have that issue. Havent figured it out yet.

I have had this issue and replacing the battery did the trick. I was having issues with the battery beforehand. once the battery showed as being at 17% the phone would start the reboot cycle and not fully boot until it was plugged in.
Have same problem here.....All these started when I replaced my bulge battery. New battery doesn't hold power below 20%. Phone goes off in boot cycle until plugged in a charger
Try to boot on USB/PC data connection
When connected t PC-system will boot to a point. PC indicates new connection then looses it and Note 2 returns to flash screen. Problem start when using corporate email and encrypted data. Works w/o error connected to wall charger. Disconnect crashes system. Flashes screen forever. No diagnostics. Did all SW reboots. Doubt battery, but will try.

Did you ever test a new battery/figure it out?
Mine is doing the same thing I think. I only boots if connected to a wall charger. If connected to PC with USB it will boot to the [T-Mobile in my case] boot screen, connect to PC for a split second (long enough to make the connection sound in windows, then I can't find it) and it stays on that screen. Without being connected to either, or after pulling plug, it turns off.
Same problem here with mine
can't be just the battery because it will stay on w/o charger when in download/recovery mode or if it gets stuck on the Verizon screen.

I'm having the same issue but i can boot into recovery without the charger.
I rooted my phone with Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly) two weeks ago, it was fine, no issues. On monday morning phone was fully charged, but with very little to no use it was completely discharged in 7 hours. When I connected phone to a charger (original and working) it didn't want to turn on, it did NOTHING, black screen. When I borrowed battery from my brother's S2 wich was charged almost fully, it booted KitKat but it showed that the battery has to be recharged. I put it back to brother's phone but it showed only approx. 15% less than before, it was okay. I tried charging my phone with brother's battery, but it was incredibly overheating , not like when you play games, I was afraid it was going to blow up. It is overheating even when phone is turned off and charging or even when normally turned on, on battery. I tried enabling airplane mode, I even installed stock ROM with Odin, but it is still overheating. It is not overheating near the camera but on the left side of the screen, I don't know what that chip is there for. Stock ROM now gives me error after 2 min. saying "Charging paused, battery temperature too high." Now my battery is discharged and phone is unable to charge it, only black screen again. Could this be done by rooting it with Cyanogenmod ? it was the only ROM that I installed through the step-by-step process on their site and for couple of days it worked fine. Is this a hardware issue that would occur even if I wouldn't root my phone, also is it somehow fixable, or would I need to change motherboard completely ? PLS HELP !
