Help! [Q] How do I know that my phone is bricked ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

WAS FLASHING A BRAND NEW FOXHOUND ROM V2.7 THEN WHILE INSTALLING THE PHONE WENT DEAD!
DOESNT BOOT, NO SIGN OF LIFE & NOTHING AT ALL EVEN WHEN IN CHARGER !
WHAT SHOULD I DO ?
Foxhound ROM is really cool and it's not the reason behind this weird incident !

Did you have battery charged to flash. Pull the battery out press and hold three button combo and put the battery bk in while holding the buttons.

[Q] [Help] Galaxy S2 died, someone could help me? Urgent!

Good.
My galaxy s2 failed to turn on.
Yesterday I installed the rom-BAR7 CriskeloRomV22-S-Tog-BLN-CallRec-Overscroll-3LS-CamHack-PWR-M-Esxt-(XXKI3-2.3.5), and the kernel SiyahKernel v1.7.8
and it works good
He was charging all night, the morning did the Battery Calibration, and was working perfectly
By late afternoon, I'll take it, and it dont turn on, nor in download mode or recovery mode or normally.
If you connect the charger a bit, note that it heats up, but no links or picture or anything
If connected to the computer appears to be installed this drive, but without success as you can see the image HERE
What solutions are there, without being sent to the warranty?
thanks
Pull the battery, wait a minute, reinsert the batterry and see if you get in recovery or downloadmode.
You could try a USB Jig.

Just a thought
Maybe you had huge battery drain because of the rom or an application and it can not charged because of the temperature.Happened to me once with cm7(most probably my drain was from webroot security or setcpu)
.Remove the battery for longer time eg 15minutes and try to charge it
Ps if you have zero battery you can not enter recovery or download mode.I lived that and its really annoying

Can`t you get in recovery (volume up - power - menu at the same time pressed) or download mode (volume down - power - menu at the same time pressed)

Yes as you have been informed already .
One try the USB recovery jig to turn download mode on that fails or you dont want to try a service centre for a non warranty repair .

Just another guess:
Charge the battery for some minutes.
After unplugging the phone, pull out the battery, external SD-card and SIM-card for some minutes.
Try to start that phone with battery only.
Good luck ...

if you know someone who has the same phone why not try using their battery?
or leave the phone to charge overnight and see what happens in the morning...

[HELP] My SGS2 is totally bricked, not responding to JIG

Hi!
While doing a nandroid backup restoring my SGS2 went off suddenly.
Now is not responding to power button, not responding to 3 buttons combinations and not responding to usb JIG :crying:
Somebody can help me please??
Rom? Kernel?
How about battery level?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Low battery or dead battery?
Very much doubt its ROM / Kernel related.
However power/battery may be a problem, have you tried to turn it on with the power plugged into the phone or after allowing it to charge for 5 min? In fact if you plug it it to a wall charger do you get the battery charging icon?
Im suspecting a hardware issue to be honest, if a device switches off like that half way through an innocuous task its either power or a hardware problem.

When went off it was at 67% of battery.
Now I can't even charge the phone, when I plug the charge into the phone no battery image appears
I was on latest XXLQ5 and wanted to restore nandroid backup of KI8 while this happens.

No battery icon when connecting the charger. And can't power on with charger connected
Try leaving it on the charger for 45 mins or 2 hour and try to power on your phone (Remove it from the charger when you try to power it on).

Have you tried taken the battery out for more than 30 seconds?

Why ask the same question twice?
I had similar bsod, & following saved me.
1. Launch Odin
2. Plug ph in to PC w/o battery in it.
3. Do 3 button combo for d/l mode.
4. While still holding 3 button combo... now - insert battery (tricky but can be done)
5. If ph goes into d/l mode, flash your stock ROM now with Odin...
Saved my bacon before. Hope it works for you

Battery & Power off problem

Hello guys,
While I do off the cell phone, it opens itself again as if I restart.
Also, the battery symbol on the up left side flashing until around 50%.
Does anyone know why these things happen?
Thank you.
Try to take off battery some time and also check the connection for dust etc.
Press the powerbutton some seconds (without battery).
Now do battery in again restart and see what happens now.
Is same prob u can try to reset phone (if no root and custom rom) or reflash Rom again maybe with full wipe. BACKUP BEFORE.
Much success at all.

Just look for dust and clean it without water or kind of it for sure!

Sounds like the battery itself might be having issues. You could try with another one.

Samsung Galaxy SIII Sudden Death

Hello,
I had the rom CyanogenMod cm-10.2-20130904-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip (unstable)
But I decided to install cm-9.1.0-i9300.zip (stable)
I installed all applications, until a few minutes after the phone was freeze
Now it does not work any more
VOLUME UP + MENU + POWER = does not work
VOLUME DOWN + MENU + POWER = does not work
What can I do?
Remove battery, wait 30 seconds and replace. Try another battery. Does anything happen when you plug a charger in?
If none of the above works then you need a service centre.

I do not have another battery
In doubt, I put the battery to charge the device universal
I'll wait a bit now
But I've tried taking the battery and put it back and try to connect, but nothing
Take it to a local phone shop and get them to try another battery.
Pull the battery out holed down the three buttons for recovery and while you holed them down put the battery bk in. Should boot up. If not repeat till it does.

Does the LED turn on if you plug a USB cable in? If not, you're right it is SDS. Need a motherboard replacement.

Sorry to hear that. If you're in Europe, you may be able to get it repaired under warranty, but if not I am afraid there is not much you can do except pay for a new motherboard (unless you bought it less than a year ago).
This is the peril of flashing anything below 4.1.2

It happened to me to once because of Vindicator Kernel.
Plug in the USB cable to computer and connect it to phone.
Press and hold Volume Down+Home+Power Button then you will get download mode.
Then flash stock ROM back.
(You have to charge your phone for 30 minutes before you do this)
