Android 4.3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently updated my Galaxy S3 to the new android version 4.3. After the update started everything was normal until the phone shut itself off and did not turn on till now. i checked restarting it plus taking the batteries out and then putting it in nut the phone wont turn on. The phone just shows the samsung logo that glows now and then and nothing more. Please help me what to do and what has happened.

"pressing the power button for 8-10 seconds until it restarts" is not a hard reset. It just reboots the phone normally. Try booting into recovery (by holding all three buttons, vol- vol+ & pwr until you see the Samsung screen twice) and perform a wipe data/factory reset.

Hello, (Sorry for my bad English)
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 not rooted and I have had it working fine for at least 7months now. Yesterday it suddenly off and keep restarting and not going into touch-wiz i am not familiar with android platform. I have tried to get into download mode (power + volume-down + menu button) and in recovery mode (power + volume-up + menu button) after getting into recovery mode android logo disappears quickly then restart and also getting into download mode phone shows the warning page i press the volume up button to get into download mode but phone restart.
I had removed the battery for one day and put it back and phone start auto without pressing the power button and it goes to start up Samsung galaxy logo then restart and keep restarting. Now, whenever i put the battery back phone start auto and keep restarting.
I need help what should i do?
Maybe power button got stuck?

It certainly sounds like the power button is shorted out, send for warranty repair.

this happened to me once. i removed the battery for a few minutes. then put it back and immediately entered the recovery mode. i hold the combo for a long time so that the samsung logo appears for 3 times and after the 3rd time, i released the combo and it entered the recovery mode. may/may not work for you. but worth trying? sounds funny but worked for me unexpectedly!!

i've tried vol up + home + power...hold it till 2nd samsung galaxy ace logo appears, then release it
tried the same button till 1st logo disappears
same buttons till 1st logo appears
same buttons till 2nd logo disappears
i pretty much tried any combination possible
releasing power button and keep on holding vol up and home,...
like everything
it does however boot in download mode
but if i press continue it just hangs on downloading...do not turn off target!! and never does anything
this is not my phone so it's my first time using it, my younger bro owns it so i'm a complete noob at this

[Q] Galaxy s3 gt i9300 bootloop

Hey guys im facing problem with my friends galaxy s3 its stuck on the first galaxy s3 bootup screen then reboots to an infinite loop i cant enter the recovery cz once its launched it reboots automatically and the download mode once i press button up to continue (to flash stock) it reboots :/ any suggestions?
In download mode take the battery out before pressing volume up, while connected to a pc. Also check the power button isn't shorted out, if it switches on as soon as you insert the battery.

Soft Bricked Samsung Galaxy S3

I recently rooted my S3. Then I flashed it with a CynogenMod 12.1 to get lollipop 5.1. Everything was pretty smooth but while I was tinkering around with the phone I took out the battery before it was properly shut down. Now, I've got problems.
When I try to normally boot up, the Samsung logo will appear briefly then go the the "Galaxy S3" booting screen where it will freeze up and resist to go any further.
When I try to boot into download mode; volume down, home button, and power, it will boot into download mode but wont be recognized on any device I plug it into.
When I try to boot into recovery mode; volume up, home button, and power, it will boot exactly the same as when i try to normally, it will do the first two booting screens then freeze up.
Is my device bricked? I kind of just got this phone so I want to save it if its possible!
