you have to charge your battery with an external charger or another s3, then try get your phone to download mode and flash a clean full firmware.
Keep always in mind to have at least 60% battery when you go flash something

so here's my situation..
for almost 3months i'd been using wanamlite 11.7 + abyss kernel was quite good and doing fine..
but this morning..suddenly..while charging then i just unplugged it..i noticed my s2's battery icon was blinking..and after 10mins it stops blinking..
but there's come a time my s2 beep (beep as like as putting s2 on charge but im not charging)..
i had tried factory reset with recovery.it says it was succesful..but when i reboot the phone.it wasnt reset..
then i'd tried to restore my cwm backup..
then it works..
no blink..but id tried to plug it again just to test if it will blink..when charging it wasnt blinking..but when i removed it..it starts blinking again..10mins then stops..
then i had tried to flash wanamlite 12.1 having siyah kernel as default kernel in it..
then i plug it then unplug...unfortunately the prob was still there..
hope someone could help me..thanks..

battery icon blinking means it's not charging for one reason or the other.
-Check to see if your battery is not to hot
-Remove and re-insert the battery. Also check if the battery has proper contact
-Try to charge your phone while it's off and report what you see
-reboot your phone and try to charge while it's on. Report what you see

My SII has started to do this now as of a few days ago.
I have rebooted, taken the battery out and put it back in. It's ok for a bit, then starts up again.
Could it be a need a new battery? or is it hardware / software fault?
Try to turn it off if it does don't know but if it reboots you may have a faulty usb port. Does it give you an error like charging stopped voltage to high?

Hey, guys!
I've had my I9100 for almost 3 months now. Everything was working fine till last week. I was charging my phone, left it overnight and when I woke up in the morning, unplugged it and it didn't turn on. Thought the phone bricked by itself but when I connected a home-made jig I have it turned on but when it booted the battery was 0%.
Did some research around here and connected it to a 1A charger and left it charging (phone off) for an hour and that fixed the problem. But Two days ago, every time I use my phone and the battery discharges till 60%, the screen flickers a tiny bit and the phone turns off. When I try to turn the phone on, it gets to the booting animation and then it turns off. Sometimes it would boot and the battery indicator would show a charge of 13% or even 1%. It turns on and stays on if I connect it to the charger and let it charge but when I unplug it, it would do the same when it gets the 60%.
The only way I've made it go under 60% charge is if I wipe the batt stats when is charged and when I re-charge it, goes back to the 60% issue. I've been thinking about buying a new battery but I'm not sure if is the phone or the battery and came here to ask.
Will try to borrow a battery from a friend today and see if the problem persists.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Edit: I'm running Jellybam 7.2.0
Goto stock and use it for couple of days.

I swapped batteries with a friend that also has a stock I9100 and my battery did the same to his phone. Guess is time to get a battery replacement.

hi, i am actually facing the same problem as you. i got my i9100 for around 3 months now. 1 month ago i updated to stock jelly bean 4.1.2. it was only until last week when the battery issue surface. i had my phone charged to 100%. switched it off for the night. when i attempt to switch it on again in the day, the phone would not start up and reflects that its battery level is 0%. for subsequent days i have observed the following:
First the phone can never be fully charged. it will reflect that the charge is complete and request to remove the charging cable.
Secondly, i realized that when i removed cable, the notification to remove the cable did not disable.
Lastly, when i restart my phone, the battery level will drop to 70 - 80% range. Currently i am suspecting its a software issue. trying to install a updated stock rom now.
One more issue. whenever i switch off my phone, the giant battery logo will keep appearing in the middle of the black screen. i will not be able to switch on the phone unless i enters its recovery mode and select "reboot now manually". maybe you can verify if you have the same issue with your faulty battery? i am currently trying to troubleshoot the root of my battery problem.
any help is appreciated!

Your battery is probably damaged too, since everything was fine for almost 3 weeks, as you mentioned. If it was a software issue, I guess it would have caused problems since you updated the phone. I'd recommend you to check if your battery is swollen: take the battery off, put it on a flat surface and try to spin it. If it spins a lot, then it is swollen and you need a replacement.
Hope this helps
Hi all
My phone was shutting off instantly without any reason for couple of days and then I would turn it on. My battery was also acting weird. Sometimes when I turn it on it was showing 30% battery while before it was at 70%. Today, it turned off and wouldn't turn on. I tried Vol Up/Down+HOME+Power button and Home+Power button but it wouldn't turn on or go into recovery/download mode. When I put it on charge, charge symbol shows for a second and then it would turn off and then again on and off and continues forever.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Either your battery is not accepting charge or is not getting any charge.
If you know someone else with an S2, ask to borrow their battery to find out whether your phone will boot.
I've a suspicion that you're going to have to replace either the battery or the USB charger port.....or maybe even both.
But the first thing to find out is if the phone boots with a 'known good' battery.
my wife says I'm a phone geek....
I'd have to agree......

Thanks a lot buddy for your reply.
An hour ago I put the phone on charge for about 15 minutes and the battery charging symbol stabilized. Then I pressed Power button and phone booted and was working fine. Then just to check, I shut off and it won't start again and came back to the same old problem. I would definitely battery from same phone and will let you know about the updates.
Regards,
Its a very weird problem. I have put the battery of my brother's SGS2 in my phone and the problem is same. Then when I put my battery in my brother's mobile then that mobile shows the same problem. After switching batteries many time, my brother's SGS2 with its own battery would show the same problem. In other words that mobile was dead also. Then I plugged out the battery from the other mobile and left it out for some time and plugged in again and mobile was ok.
After that I didn't risk to switch batteries again. I have the feeling that problem is not at hardware end. For some reasons my mobile's software is corrupting batteries. I remember to have re-calibrated the battery couple of days ago with software named "battery recalibrate". I am lost at what the problem might be and what to do anymore.
Pls help.

Any idea/suggestion to boot the device.
Jig to force it to download mode
Just for the record. I discovered the solution to be ridiculously simple. Battery pins connection was loose and by just putting a foiled tissue paper at below corner of battery to strengthen connection of pins, all was back to normal. Ahh! it was such a relief.
Happy days glad you sorted it:thumbup:
Hello everybody!,
My name is Ferdi and usually if i need help i can find it somewhere on this forum but for this problem I searched the whole internet but couldn't find a thing about it
The problem:
Last week I turned off my S3. it went out for 1 second, suddenly after that the screen turns on again telling me: Downloading, do not turn of target.
So i didn't turn it off because i thought it was actually downloading. it wasn't downloading but it did manage to get my battery empty real quick.
When my battery was empty i tried to charge it at home but it didn't respond to anything (different chargers, connecting it to PC etc.)
I got a new battery thinking my Li-Ion battery had its best time, this new battery did wel and i was able to charge it when it was on.
after i put it off once more it showed the same "Downloading" message again and i pulled out the battery so it wouldn't get empty again.
Tried to reboot a minute later, S3 booted like it was supposed too.
Summary:
The thing is that I can only charge it when it's on.
Does anybody know what I can do to fix it because i turned it off again leaving the battery in it and the battery is now empty and the telephone does not respond to anything anymore.
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Ferdi

Thanks for your quick respond,
do you think it is a pure software problem?
the main issue for me is that i can't boot it into download mode even now because it won't charge when it's off and the battery is down.
Charge your battery in an external charger or someone else's S3.
Download a full stock rom from sammobile and flash using odin, follow instructions from 'how to return to stock guide'.
Once stock then test charging function, if still the same then hardware fault - you'll need a service centre.
here's the problem!!!
I rarely use s3 while exams going on!!
last time I switched off it while it is on 4% or 5% of battery.. and thrown in to the bag
now I just took phone and tried to turn it on!!
phone wont boot up..considered charging makes some sense..just connected cable to the s3..a grey icon of battery occurs and shutdown..again tried by plugging off and on..nothing happens same grey battery icon and shutdown..read somewhere that holding power and menu button will startup the phone..its working but phone again switched off after booting up in about 2 sec..
do I consider replacing battery?? if that's the case..it gave me an average battery life of day before.
I don't know what to do??:crying::crying:
someone please suggest me what to do
thanx in advance!!!
anyone???
Hold on Vol-Down+Home+Power and see if you can boot into download mode.
If you do plug your phone and reflash stock firmware through Odin.

thank you!! it helped me to figureout something..but still confusing
I replaced a battery of another s3..
it worked..the best thing is my battery worked on another s3..
but my phone is not charging even after replacing battery..i thought charging pin of s3 is reason for all confusion..but if its the reason..when my battery is completely down(yesterday) I plugged in charger and it shown me some grey icon of charging(if charging pin is not working it will not show up)..and again confusion started..
iam currently in india..phone is rooted using android revolution hd rom..my warranty is not expired still..am I eligible for warranty??can I claim warranty?? I thought its not related to software issue..so comes under warranty.
ok even if it doesnot comes under warranty?? can I go for service center for repair..will they repair it(of course by taking some extra bucks)?
thanks again!!

bro i think your charger is the problem
Have you tried plugging it to a computer via USB cable? If that does not work then maybe buy a new battery. Cos there's a flaw in some Samsung batteries. They die completely if they reach 0%. Hope it helps. Good luck

I would bet the charger. My S3 always go to 0% before charging and never had a prob...
You should...
a) Flash latest software from Samsung through Odin for your country
b) Root it through chainfire's autoroot
c) Install and use Triangle Away to reset counter
d) Perform full unroot through supersu
e) Check if you have official status in download mode
Then you should use your warranty. Probably problem is in your USB cable or USB port in your device. I suggest firstly trying with other cable and if it doesn't help do as I told you above (if possible of course) and send it to warranty with a note "does not charge".
this happened to me and it was just the power button being stuck...I had the exact same issues.... I have 4 batteries so the issue was clearly not battery related. All i did was smack the phone around a bit and boots fine now.
mine just freeze in batery icon when i try to charge off.... but he charge normal on. anyone have that issue?

Yes, Sanosuke, i have the same problem. I think it happened after trying to use triangle away on my i9305T. When turned off, phone will charge, but frozen at the battery screen (at 0%, screen wont dime, nor change to the current battery levels).
Anyones know how to revert the changes made by triangle away?
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue installed Gummy ROM 4.4.4 everything is flawless except charging the device while powered off shows a grey battery with a frozen white circle
Ahm is the problem solved? Im experiencing the same..i cnant boot up and hen when i plug it on the charger gray battery with a circle inside is the only thing showing up.. i dont know if i can boot it up to download mode or etc.. can u rply here [email protected]
