Howdy,
I'm having a strange problem with my totally stock S3 with the latest android update. I found it dead in my pocket the other day. It was totally unresponsive to the power key.I tried about 5 different batteries to no avail. When I plug it into a car charger, it shows an empty battery with a frozen 'thinking' circle, then turns off. When I plug it into a Samsung wall charger, it does the same 'frozen thinking circle, ' then appears to charge the battery. While it's plugged in to the samsung charger, I can turn it on. It goes through the boot screens, but crashes during the Sprint splash screen. If I unplug the charger, it is completely unresponsive again. I COULD boot into recovery mode (with the samsung charger plugged in), and have tried wiping the cache. I don't want to factory recover it because the data on the phone is more important to me than the hardware. I can't get it to boot into safe mode.
Today I flashed the firmware with ODIN. ODIN says it was successful, but the phone still has exactly the same problem, except that I can't get it to boot into Recovery or Download mode anymore.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Eric

noob here,
a few times my atrix battery has died, so i have to plug it into the wall charger. as i do this, it tries to boot into cwm recovery (is that right?) and if i forget to hit the volume up, then it'll just hang on the moto logo and not do anything.
the only solution i've found is to let the phone charge for a while, disconnect from the wall charger, pull the battery, then put it back in and turn on the phone.
i'm afraid pulling the battery might not be the best solution and that i might damage the phone somehow. is there another way to recover from being stuck on the moto logo if this happens again? or is my current method ok?
Don't let your battery discharge. Charge it more frequently.
It is actually detrimental to a Li-Ion battery to let it die all the way. It will damage the battery after a while. It is recommended to charge it BEFORE it completely dies (phone shuts off).
mine stuck also.
My atrix is stuck on the moto boot screen. BL is unlocked, Rooted device. It was stuck on the moto boot screen initially. wiped cache, dalvik, wiped/restored. flashed cm9. still stuck on boot screen any suggestions?
I'll leave it on the charger for awhile.. see if i can get anything from that.
I got mine warranty replaced due to same issues

New issue ..
Today i didn't have a charger with me so phone drained completely. Now it no matter how long i charge it it will not boot right.
This is what it is doing, two kind of behaviors:
1, when it is plugged into an outlet screen remain slightly lit, able to boot into bootloader, able to boot into recovery (once phone turned off itself in recovery..). when trying to boot into android phone hangs on LG loading screen and LG loading screen disappear as soon as unplug the phone from the outlet . LED light remain off while plugged in, it should be lit when being charged.
2, when it is plugged into a computer phone seems to boot itself, LG logo flashing on and off quickly seeming like bootloop.
I have flashed the rom again it didnt help.
Edit 1: fixed by factory restore

CWM supports charging your battery, so use the strongest charger you have (spec is 2amp charger) and leave it there for a few hours. the reason it flips on usb connection is because most usb is only 0.5 amp or maybe 1amp if you're lucky.
You should be ok gotta be patient though.

Yea you just have to leave the charger in for a while..mine did this...but you can also try this
Unplug the charger hold down the power button of 15sec and then put the charger back in (the red light should come on)
Then the screen will show the LG logo about two times and then the battery charging logo
And just give it a minute or two and power it up
The LG charger is 1.2a

A few days ago my phone got soaked through my pants as I was working in the rain. I came home, dried it out, etc. and tried to turn it on. Wouldn't turn on, so I started charging it. I eventually got it to turn on and it seemed to be working fine except for some reason it said the battery life was at 0 %. Note that it was still working normally otherwise.
I went into recovery, made a backup, and did a factory reset to see if that would fix the problem. It didn't, so I restored the backup. Now the phone won't turn on at all.
When plugged in, it shows the charging battery symbol, and if you hold power to turn the phone on it will sometimes begin to start, but it gets to the boot animation and simply stays there forever (I've left it at the boot animation for several hours to no effect). If I try to boot into recovery it simply does not work; it will either just restart the battery charging animation or boot normally (and then get stuck on the boot animation).
In a last ditch effort, I was going to try to flash a stock ROM from Heimdall. However, I plugged my phone in and tried to enter download mode and was greeted with the error: "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!." This was after charging the phone all night. I then proceeded to charge the phone for another hour then try again, to the same error. And now here I am. It seems the problem is that my phone will charge, and the battery will be full but for some reason the phone doesn't recognize that the battery has a charge, so it just thinks it's at 0%. I've tried a different battery and was unsuccessful. Is there any way that I can either force my phone to enter download mode or somehow get it to recognize the charge on the battery? Or is there some other way I could resolve this? Or is my phone simply gone for good?
I am (was) running a rooted I777 with Slim Bean ROM ( I believe v8) 4.2.
Have you tried using a JIG it can be an option
If a JIG doesn't work you can try removing the battery, then plug the phone to the PC and go to download.
But for me the problem is with the battery. If after flashing the ROM you get the same results, don't think it and BUY A NEW BATTERY.
Good luck.

If I'm bad at English is because I'm from Argentina and I'm learning.
I has the same problema, I spend two days searching on the web, but i didnt have any idea.., ,y problem is. when we conect to ANY charger (car/wall/PC-USB..) appears on screen a batery logo, but the batery never charged..., I tried to enter to the CW but, the keys combination doesnt make anything on the phone, and without live on it, I cant access to CW..., I wait for 2 hrs, with these cell phone conected to charger to see if the it gone works...
ANYONE has another idea for how we resolve these issue? My phone has a stable version of CyanogenMod..
same with me but what i did was put a different battery in, let it charge for a bit then put the original one in and it only started charging after i used my car charger as i was driving to work so thats how i fixed mine.
My apologies if this is addressed elsewhere in the forum, but if it is I couldn't find it...at least, not exactly what I'm dealing with.
Phone: Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro)
I was running an unofficial Cyanogenmod of Android 5 on my phone for about 2 months with no problems. Last week the phone just shut off on it's own, and since then I've been stuck.
Here's what I can do (note, all these things can only be done if the phone is plugged in and has the battery in...no response at all if just on battery):
I can boot into the boot loader, and can toggle through the options (recover mode, start, etc), but every time I try to go int recovery the phone restarts, enters the google splash screen for a few seconds, then it flickers and shuts down, showing only the "battery charged" icon.
Same thing happens if I just try to start the phone normally...google splash screen, flicker, dead.
I've tried flashing a stable version of CM11 via the CM installer, but the phone just shuts down to the batter icon during the install.
My computer won't recognize the phone via usb (it keeps trying and failing, and trying and failing...again and again and again).
I tried accessing the phone via ODIN to flash the stock android 4.2.2 rom back onto it, but with no luck. Same problem as described above (i can also boot into ODIN Mode, but it stays on "downloading" and never gets past it - again, this is only when plugged in).
Before the crash the battery life was fine, and the "battery charged" icon shows it being fully charged whenever plugged in.
I've tried pulling the battery for long periods of time (overnight, all day, etc). Same result.
I feel like I hard bricked the thing...but if I did I wouldn't expect to be able to turn anything on...
Thanks, in advance for any suggestions!
Hello, I have a Galaxy Note II sgh-t889. The phone worked perfect until I recently flashed it to Android 6 with cynogen mod. The phone worked fine for a few weeks, now the phone only powers on when connected to a charger. When removed from charged it goes back to the Samsung note II logo screen and won't boot past. I don't think it's a battery issue as I can boot in bios and it shows the battery is %95 full. It will sit on the logo screen until charger is plugged in, then will boot fine to OS. I've factory reset multiple times to no avail. I've read other forums of users who experienced similar issues and have narrowed it down to a possibly corrupt flash. The problem being, when connected to my pc the phone won't boot to home screen, it just sits on the logo screen. (So Odin does not detect the phone) The solution I was told is to flash it back to stock/oem rom. The problem is I can't get it to bboot to home screen when connected to pc, only on wall charger. If someone could please give me some insight, I would be more than grateful. I don't have the money atm to buy a new phone, so my only option is to try and get this fixed. Also I don't have an external sd. Can someone point me in the right direction of what to do ? I'm so stumped and I can't stand having to pack my phone around on the charger all the time...
