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.

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...
thats f*cked up

Take/send it back to where ever you bought it from and get a refund/exchange, I think you're right, it's f***ed

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.
A couple of weeks ago i decided to change from Infected Eternity ROM to MeanROM V2.1. My phone worked for those couple of weeks, however one day it was on at 88% battery it was working in the morning but i pulled it out of my pocket that day and the Phone was Off and would not turn back on. I plugged it into the charger and no light came on.
Does this mean my phone is Bricked?
If you didn't drop it in water or damage it imo I'd say no. Try plugging it in with the power off for a few hrs and see if it lights up. Also I read someone posted if you pull the battery and hold the power button for 15 seconds and then put the battery back in they were able to boot there phone back up. Not saying it will work for you but a give it a shot. Also you should rule out the usual. As in try a different charger or battery as well just to make sure your current ones are faulty
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
Not sure where I read it, but awhile back there was a post kinda like this and somebody posted something about pressing the camera button while trying to power up. It fixed the problem for like 3 ppl. Sorry for being so vague but I don't recall exactly what he said.
Thanks guys, however none of that worked, i think there is some other issue with my phone, i don't think it got bricked. I haven't heard that a phone that has been working fine for the past couple of days would just shut off and become bricked.

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.

Hey guys.
I have a problem with my HTC EVO 3D. I've been using it for a year and everything was fine until yesterday. I was playing Real Racing 3 when my phone suddenly restarted and then turned off before I could enter my PIN code and didn't boot up. I thought that it might have overheated or it was some crash or something, I put the phone to charging and it easily turned on (I must mention, that there were about 70% battery left). I charged my phone and didin't use it whole afternoon. In the evening, I was trying to unlock my phone (with about 70% of battery) when suddenly the same happened again - the phone restarted and before entering PIN code turned off at all. After that I wasn't able to boot my phone.
I tried charging it with original HTC AC charger and also using my laptop and even a car charger, but nothing changes.
When the phone is not plugged in to charging, it doesn't show any signs of being alive. I tried pressing volume down/up/camera buttons + power on button, taking off the battery for about an hour, charging the phone for ~6 hours. Nothing works.
However, I realised that when I connect the phone to my laptop, there is a 'new device is connected' sound, but I am not able to access my memory card or do something else. Also, when the phone is charging, the red charging light is on, which after a few hours turns to green and after some more time disappears at all. When trying to turn on the device while it is charging the red light disappears as soon as the power button is released ant comes back after about 20 seconds.
Sorry for such long story and for my bad English. I am very disappointed. I still have a warranty, but I dont want to take the phone there, because the fixing lasts at least 2-3 weeks and also since I'm unable to boot my phone, there are a lot of my personal information in it, such as passwords,messages, bookmarks and so on, left.
So, is there anything I could do or should I take my phone to service?
P.S. The phone is not rooted and never was. Everything is original and up to date.

Perhaps try a new battery or take it in and have them try one. Sounds like a battery issue.

Thanks. I took it to service. I hope they'll repair it.
I finally got my HTC back a few days ago. They changed the motherboard and I had to buy a new battery since the old one was dead and warranty for it was only a year.
But I've faced several unexpected crashes during these few days. I think 3 or maybe 4 times when I took the phone after not using it for couple of hours and tried to unlock it, the phone didn't unlock and instead turned on. I really don't like this, because if my phone turns off whenever it wants, I may be unreachable
Does anyone knows what that means and what should I do if this keeps happening?

Yes, the soft has always been and is stock.
Then it must be a hardware issue. If your warranty has not expired, take it to the warranty service.

Well as I said I dont want to take it there because it takes about three weeks or more till I get back my phone.. It would be the third time in two months and it really annoys me.
Couldn't this be software issue? I mean I've been reading some similiar threads and I found out that some app might be killing the phone. So I did hard reset yesterday and after that installed only well known essential apps (Google services and some others) and after that the phone didin't crash for almost two days. Unfortunately, it did turned off a few minutes ago. I've installed only 8 Ball Pool and Smart Keyboard Pro recently, so I will try unninstalling them both and let's hope the phone won't crash again. Is there any ideas what else may I do in case it doesn't work?

Id recommend doing a factory reset on the phone and not installing any app for at least a week to confirm its not a hardware issue, but I strongly believe it is. If it fails youll have to take it to a sprint store and hope the clerk is in a good mood and give you a new phone the same day.
try a new battery
The battery is new, I had to buy it only a week ago, because the service stated that the old one was dead.
Hey guys so last night my phone died, and I left it charging overnight. I'm not sure if it was even charging properly because when I woke up this morning there was no indicator light on. (green or red).
When I try to turn the phone on it just keeps booting to the htc splash then turning black, before repeating the process. I've searched and searched and it seems like many people have had this problem? Does anybody know how to fix this? I've tried recovery and factory reset from the bootloader but those did absolutely nothing.
Btw I've never rooted my phone or anything like that. It's 100% stock from when I got it. Help!

since you are stock and never rooted i would take it back to AT&T for replacement
Will they replace it for free? I don't have any kind of warranty.
And is there anything I can try before I take it to them? I'd like to avoid losing all my data if possible..
ok so i went into factory reset mode from the bootloader and the red triangle with exclamation mark came on. i wiped all the data from the drop down menu and rebooted the phone. however it's still going into the red triangle mode. how do I get out of this and actually get the phone to boot?
