The phone is unrooted. And as the title says, whenever I try to boot the phone it goes to the charging screen. The phone is unplugged, though.
Then the following happens: it loads the battery data, battery is shown how charged it is, the dots at the bottom turn on and off one after another, at the 3rd dot, the phone turns off. Repeat.
The only way of turning my phone on is trying to put the charger in and hope to god it recognizes it, really charging it and thus making me able to boot up. Or I've to push Volume Down + Home + Power and then cancel (making the phone restart itself), which does boot up the phone correctly for some reason.
I've turned battery percentage on in the statusbar at the top of the phone, and sometimes it keeps saying unplug the charger when at 100%, so I do and it keeps saying that for 15-30 minutes after. Then I try to restart the phone (not turn off and on) and then the battery dropped to 60-80%?
Finally, when the battery is "fully charged" the screen is flickering until I pull the charger out.
What I've tried so far: rebooting, turning it off and on, pulling the battery out and putting it back in, trying a different battery.
What I'm still planning on doing: Restocking the phone through Odin, or bring it to a repair service but I would try to hold off to that.
Has anyone experienced this before and how do I fix it?

Yes, it looks like number 6 is my problem. I will thoroughly clean my phone when I'm back home. Question: the "USB PCB", is that the end of the charger you plug in the usb port?

PCB stands for "printed circuit board" so I think that he meant rather "USB PCB connector"

Ah right, that makes sense. I'm going to try this and will report back if it works.
Thanks, mate.
Alright, it didn't work. I've no idea what to try anymore.

okay so i have a hd2 with 2.08 hspl and everything as of yesterday after my 2.12 radio flash everything worked fin. but when i started charging it i noticed it didnt show the usb connection when it charges. well it had 9% left and i fell asleep i wont up and it was completely off. im pretty sure the radio disabled the charging ability or whatever when i took my dad to the airport at 4 i looked up a little bit and saw i should take the battery out for awhile then try? i did that and i got it to bootloader with USB but it wont sync. i then reset it and tried to turn it on it started to turn on then died i think the battery is dead cuz of this whole radio thing
so i guess my question is how do i fix it? do i need to install a Rilphone.dll? or go back to my old radio? if so how do i go back to my old radio. then again i could be all wrong
***update i got it into bootloader with usb again im going to leave it for awhile and see if i can get a charge***
****update 2, i guess i can charge it enough in bootloader mode, so how do i enable charging again so i dont have to charge in only bootloader mode?****
No need to go to boot loader to charge. Just keep the phone switched off and charge your phone. The LED will come up in a few seconds. Leave it to charge full till it becomes green as usual. Try putting your device in boot loader & flash YOUR REGION STOCK ROM. Then flash any custom ROM if you wish.
you sure? cuz it never charged before when it was plugged in normally, it just went till it died
take the battery out, plug in USB, then re apply battery. It should shortly begin to charge without trying to turn itself on (which it does if you simply plug usb in whilst battery is in.)
I doubt it was the radio, i'd be more inclined to think you
1 - bent a battery pin
or
2 - faulty hardware.
wait bent battery pin that would make alot more sense.
*checking pins*
it seems as if the middle one (ground) is bent up a little i pushed it down so that it was touching the battery and it worked. im just curious if it broke completely is it possible to replace these?

Looks like it would be a crazy tight solder job if it did, probably just as easy to get the whole device replaced.
My Easy Fix
So my phone HD2 will not turn on or charge when plugged it in. I was freaking out. 2 days without, until i found a thread that told me to take out the battery. Hold down and press the Red power button for 30 seconds. While holding it down put battery back in.. careful you are connecting battery pins to battery when doing this. Then plug back into the wall power not PC. Walah like magic MY once bricked T-Mobile turned back on. ( worked after the 6th try)
Best of Luck.

Thanks for sharing this info. this trick worked for me too.
The phone went past the boot screen n showed me windows mobile logo.
It did restart again once or twice. Then I kept the power button *pressed* continuosly till the phone booted up completely
sorta helped

I received a HD2 in a trade, and it was set up for android. I couldnt charge it, and when I turned it off.. it would just restart by itself... so i thought maybe if I put WM6.5 back on it, it would fix it, nope. This trick DID fix my charging issue, but unfortunately, NOT its restarting when I turn it off. So.. anyone have thoughts on that? lol
Appearantly my SGS2 doesn't charge, when I connect it to the wall charger it boots up, shows that the battery is at 0% and shuts down after about a minute. Than it repeats it the process over and over again.
Any ideas?
* Solution: MicroUSB pins were dirty, cleaned and the phone charges.

Nothing, completely stock.
I am having the same issue. Wont charge, battery icon shows up for about 5 secs than flickers off - then repeats that every minute or so. It also gets really hot. Have tried different chargers, cleaning the contacts etc but nothing works.
It wont enter recovery or download mode either
If you are running pure stock ROM+Kernel then it sounds like a mechanical fault. Try and order a new battery in the first instance and see if that solves it. Otherwise take it back and get it replaced by the manufacturer.
It is common for this to occur when the battery has been drained past its safety net.
Leave it doing that charge loop on and off. It will stop after some time.
This a warning that you need to stop letting your battery go to 0%
Don't be lazy, charge your phone when it needs to be charged.

Just clean your micro USB port on the phone. When it's dirty it makes pins short circuits... You can use an ear swab + alcohol.
I'll need to try cleaning that microSD slot, I bought new battery, phone powers up but now it doesn't charge at all.
I plug it in, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Im not sure how I can clean the microSD slot with simply an ear swap since its such a small thing, but I cleaned it as good as I could, not I shows black screen with yellow triangle and exclamation mark.
I tried the new battery, the phone powers up, shows its charging but still stays at 0% and reboots continuesly..
* EDIT! The triangle vanished and the phone is now charging! Special thanks to radkor! It was just a dirty microUSB slot.
If you can't charge the battery using the usb slot then you could buy a standalone battery charger off ebay... This won't help if there is more problems than just the charging though.... But its fairly cheap and you now have an extra oem battery for a spare...
The phone charges now properly but both the battery go empty in less than 10hrs even though I've got Juice Defender and BatterSave mode on, also it reboots continuesly when I make a call, I think I might have another problem on my hand..
So I had bought this phone off ebay and when I got it today I tried to turn it on, but nothing happened.
I plugged the phone in and tried powering it on and still nothing. I then charged the battery and left it alone for the night and the result is the same. The only response I get when I plug in the phone to the charger, the phone's screen will flash a battery icon with a spinning circle inside of it for a split second and then go blank. And then it will flash the icon again and then go blank again and it will go on like this a few times before it stops completely.
Even though I leave the phone to charge for almost a day, it still won't turn on and the only result seems to be that the phone gets warm. Also I tried to see if download mode works and I get a brief flash for a split second but that's all.
I tried leaving the battery out to let it cool and tried a soft/hard reset but no luck. Can anyone help me?

I believe mine is the same except for the little bar code thing on the bottom right, it seems like my battery has a little gap between the metal connectors. I will try pushing that together and charge it again/
Try taking the battery completely out, plug it in and see if it starts w/o the battery. (Not sure if that will work, but won't hurt to try)

Take out the battery. Hold volume key down and plug usb cable (before plug to the computer). I777 should turn to download mod. If it's turns, I777 OK.
If it's ok, problem with rom. Charge battery and re flash the rom.
I was bought a LGOG ATT model from US, it was working with full battery but suddenly in on condition, it goes blank and not able to on again.
when i insert power cable/charger cable it shows only stable red light (it is not flashing).
also i open the phone and removed the battery and then plug it with charger but still it shows stable red light (without battery).
as i m not able to switch on so not able to go in download mode or any thing else.
is it perm bricked???

I would do the battery remove again, leave it disconnected for at least 10 minutes. With no battery and no charger connected, press the power button for 10 seconds, then let it rest.
Make absolutely sure that you did not damage the connector for the battery to the motherboard. With no power cord, reconnect battery and try to boot. If a 10 minute battery pull doesn't work, it may indeed be bricked.
The phone can act very strange and then go completely normal forever also, some people have left it plugged in for hours with the red light and it magically began to work again. Best of luck.

I haven't used LGNPST but I understand that it does get stuck at 85%, from what I have read.
A lot of others on this forum have experience with flashing, try searching or asking someone. Glad your phone powers on again.
Same Problem
I know this thread is quite old but I didn't want to bother anyone by posting another thread about the exact same problem. Anyways, my phone is behaving in the exact same way as the OP's and I have tried the aforementioned fix to no avail. I know this is a bit of a toss up but does anybody have any other ideas?
I have this problem: youtube.com/watch?v=chvRbwgT9n8
Sprint Galaxy S3, unrooted, stock
Basically one night my phone would not turn on after the battery completely drained out. Put on charger but phone would not turn on. Did the spin test on original battery and it seemed busted. Ordered a new battery, put it into phone, charged for a few hours and have the same problem the above youtuber does. The battery icon looks identical (both the grey and ~90% one).
1) If phone is unplugged nothing happens, can't start into recovery/download/boot.
2) If phone is plugged in it will show grey battery icon for like 10s, then go to a green battery screen where it shows the battery is ~90% full. The red charging light stays on.
3) I can boot into recovery mode if the phone is plugged in but if I try to normal boot the phone it will 50% get to the S3 splash screen, vibrate, and then turn off, and then 50% of the time it will boot to the home screen but wifi and data will not work (the battery icon will show 100% at this point). After a few seconds the phone will vibrate, turn off, and return to the grey battery icon swirly and then back to the 90% green battery screen.
4) I've tried wiping cache and doing factory reset but doesn't seem to phase it.
5) Reflashing via Odin to stock doesn't fix issue.
Any ideas? It doesn't seem like the power button issue because usually in those cases the battery shows as low or it will be stuck in a constant repeating cycle. This just seems like the phone is not drawing any power from the battery. Thanks.

You posted this in the wrong forum, but anyway, try downloading an app that tells you the charging current going into your phone so you can see whether any power is actually going into the battery. Have you tried plugging it into different power ports around your house / using usb + computer to charge?

No, will try that.
Update: so it appears that the longer I leave it on the charger the longer I can use it while connected. The issue now is that Wifi and data will not enable, sound doesn't work, bluetooth doesn't work. I found someone else with _exactly_ the same issue who had a weird fix:

OK, Czech this out, I took my sim card and SD card out of the phone and tried to start it, and guess what? IT FREAKING CAME ON!!! It obviously wont function without the SIM card, and it prompted me to turn off the phone and reinstall the SIM, but after doing that, it started right back up like it was new.SO EVERYONE GIVE THAT A SHOT. We'll see if it gives me any issues.
