Been running the GPE ROM flawlessly since I flashed on the 12th... Until today. Don't know if this is ROM related but maybe you guys can help.
Out of nowhere, my phone kept shutting off. Couldn't use it for more than a minute after booting before it would turn off completely. Battery was charged so I was kind of like 'wtf'. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't even get to the swirling colors boot screen. It would shut off halfway though the Samsung Custom logo. ****.
Tried plugging it in and pulling the battery multiple times. I can't even boot to recovery! The blue text shows in the upper left but then it will go off again. It's plugged in now but not showing the battery charging screen.
I can only get it to turn on for about a second. Am I ****ed? Is this thing bricked? Super random because I changed NOTHING this morning and it was fine yesterday.

It could be a power button failure, it's actually quite common on the S4.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my i9100. Yesterday, I left my phone plugged in and charging. When I woke up today, my phone was off. When I tried to turn it on, the phone would get to the boot animation, then promptly turn off. Then it would show the battery loading image, and the phone would restart again. Repeat ad nauseum. When my phone is plugged in, it would forever loop like this. The looping would only stop when I unplugged the phone. The phone doesn't react at all when it is unplugged.
Now, I can't enter recovery mode for whatever reason, and when I try to boot into download mode, the phone says it can't download because battery is too low. I suspect the battery is shot, but I can't confirm. Has anyone faced this problem before?
(Can't take it in for warranty because I rooted and I can't boot the phone to reset...)

Same problem here...
Recently flashed Neat ROM and when I put it to charge it shows the battery, gets stuck and turns off.
Can't get it to start or flash a new ROM because I can't get past the battery screen.

If you can't boot it then Samsung can't either to check it.
My S3 is unrooted and today for some reason, turned itself of then wouldn't reboot passed the boot screen.
It's not stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" welcome screen.
So far I've tried:-
Disconnecting the battery several times, even leaving it for 10mins before reconnecting.
Reset (holding Volume Up+Home+Power). It just reboots and gets stuck at the same point. Occasionally not even getting as far as the Samsung screen, it will stay on the battery charging logo/screen but the charging circle image doesn't spin.
Any ideas what, if anything I can do?

Have you gotten your S3 to work yet? My S3 did excactly the same.. I woke up and saw that it was showing the boot screen. I thought "That was weired" and didn't touch it for like ten minutes. I went back and saw that it still hadn't got passed the boot screen and then tried to reboot it. Then I once again was stuck at the boot screen and tried to reboot it again, remove the battery, plug it in to the charger and enter the recovery mode (without any success).
Have anyone else experienced the same problem? What did you do to make it boot properly?
Same problem...I can't get into recovery mode either =/
I had a similar issue. But never got stuck in boot screen. Phone was not switching on and connecting charger showed grey battery icon, not the green charging icon. Had to take it to service center. As long as it is unrooted and in warranty you are safe. They told me they replaced the charger pin on phone. But really not sure.
Hello!
I have this problem with my s2.. I was browsing for my joy when suddenly the screen flashed couple times and my phone suddenly shut down (when battery was about 70%).
I already had this kind of problem but last time it was the battery (it swelled) but i replaced the battery and for a month or so everything was fine.
now with no warning it happened again!
I checked the battery its fine...
now when I boot my phone up it stays up for a minute or so and freeze or shutting down..
and also the signal icon shows that there's no signal!!
when its off and plugged to the charger its all fine looks like charging...
sometimes when it shows the samsung logo on boot I can see the the lights on the back button and menu button flickering and then shutting down.
I didnt download anything new in the past week..
did anyone here had this kind of problem? how can I fix it?
PLEASE help me I was at a job interview and they should call me today !! T_______T

ROM?Kernel?Did you try Factory reset or flashing stock ROM?
Are you using a genuine s2 battery or it's just a generic one?
It's a generic, isn't it?
Sent from the little guy
I did hard reset, now running Samsung's original ROM and stock kernel..
the battery is original..
somehow everything is now fine.. but I don't think that this is a normal problem.. it really freaked me out today.. I wanna know if any one knows what its all about and how to prevent it from happening.. thank you very much
Last night my phone started bootlooping very frequently. I was running the CM10 built with Samsung source that was posted in this section for a while with absolutely no problems, when suddenly the phone shut off and started doing short, quick vibrations repeatedly. Like the vibration that the phone makes when it first turns on and shows the Samsung logo. I pulled the battery but it continued once I put the battery back in. Eventually I got it to boot but soon after it booted it started again. I am now running Blackjelly v1, and though less frequent, the problem still persists...does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Mine did the same thing... It was crazy...Nothing I did fixed it... Flashed away at any 4.2.2 Rom and It was consistent bootloop... Decided to take phone apart and clean power button (read somewhere power button gets stuck) Same issue bootloop... I odined back to stock...bam it worked...now the capacitive buttons don't work... So after booting stock I flashed TWRP recovery and attempted to flash 4.2.2 rom to no prevail, I am only capable of flashing BlackJelly v1 any other rom sends me into (App is upgrading screen after boot after apps say Starting Apps bootloop) nonstop bootloop...
I honestly wonder if my phone is the only phone that will not accecpt 4.2.2 roms...

It's now bootlooping like crazy. It'll turn on for like 5 minutes and then go right back to bootlooping. My USB port is kinda screwy so it's hard to odin anything. I'm at a loss for what to do.

I had boot looping problems several times now. For me, it's always been sticky power button. One time, I forgot it had that problem at work and looped for 30 minutes. I just take out the battery for about an hour, then get the power button unstuck. My button gets stuck at the bottom of the button, so I can normally mess with the top part to fix it.
So the issue has escalated even further now. It is a sticky power button, i believe, but now when the phone tries to turn on it shows both samsung logos and then shuts right back off and refuses to turn on again unless i do a battery pull...I'm not even sure if it's turning off, actually. It turns on immediately after inserting a battery into the device. But right now I have a fancy brick.
Definitly a power button issue

Similar Issue
My phone started doing a crazy bootloop just out of the blue last night. I have never had a problem. I took the battery out to put my memory card back in. I'd been using it for my digital camera. This is not out of the ordinary. I do it all the time. But after I replaced the card, battery and cover it started this continuous boot loop. Sometimes it will go to the main screen and allow me to perform some functions, but then it goes right back to the bootloop. I am running the Padawan JB rom. I did the complete wipe, factory reset and re-flash. But it still did the bootloop. The only time it does NOT exhibit this issue is when the phone is on the charger. Then and only then it works perfectly. Is it the battery? Why will it bootloop without the charger and work fine when on the charger?
It is probably your battery

The Note won't run without a proper battery installed. I had the problem where I swapped out my dead battery for a fully charged one (I do this everyday) and all of a sudden it kept bootlooping.I spent a few hours, when I got home, flashing it back to stock etc to no avail. I could get into download mode, and download to my hearts content but when I tried to boot the phone, it looped. Samsung, samsung, samsung....
I swapped back my, now charged, spare and BAM it booted into stock android no problem. I think my first (stock samsung battery actually) is finished. Or at least has some serious issues, and the phone refuses to boot with it in but my spare (Anker battery) works fine.
I hope this works for you's, it did for me

Also, if I had just charged my phone using my working battery, I would have saved myself some serious grief, and hours wasted. Here's to hoping you don't too!
Phone has been running fine for months, then all of a sudden, it won't boot. Wife said she hasn't dropped it or anything. It is an SCH-i545 with the latest PhoenixROM.
When I turn it on, it briefly shows 'Samsung Galaxy S4', then that disappears and left with a blank black screen from which I can't reboot or shut off without taking out the battery. If I try download mode, I get the warning screen but it goes black before I can hit VolUp to continue. If i try recovery, I see the blue recovery starting text but then the screen goes black. Also, if I plug in the charging cable with battery out, then insert the battery, it won't turn on.
My phone did this. All efforts to get it to boot were futile. Samsung, and then dark. And then just never booted again. Even trying to charge it, the charging screen never showed. Not a vibrate or anything, I even shined a flashlight on the LCD to see if maybe the backlight just died, and again nothing. That was 4 months ago, and today for ****s and giggles I plugged it into my Anker battery to charge and the charging screen came up!!!!! I let it fully charge and then booted the phone and it works again!!!!
Now I just have to fix the screwup I did a long time ago with the radio, I did the "Golden Backup" improperly and my radio quit working on CDMA altogether. No documentation to be found, even Samsung upper tier support has no idea how to resolve it or even what the hell I'm talking about. I'm guessing there is no support but maybe flashing a modem will resolve it.

Same radio issue, I get no signal on the phone, just a circle with a diagonal line inside
This is sick
If you can get it to boot into fastboot, just reflash the full OEM rom which should include the modem image
