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.

So... My dad bought this S2 for him a couple of years ago, and on the first 15 days, he let it fell, and the screen broke, but he kept using it like this until around 3 months ago...
Now he has a G2, and the S2 had no use anymore, and I thought about using it as a dashcam on the car...
Installed dailyroad voyager on it, and used as dashcam for about 15 days...
Then today, I got on the car, it was off, but with the charging cable plugged in, I pressed the home button, it said the battery was 100% charged, so I tried turning it on
It went until the animation that plays when booting, but restarted, I tried again about 5 times, each time it rebooted a bit early than before
It got to a point where it didn't even reach the animation, just the "Samsung Galaxy S2" appeared on screen, and rebooted...
Then I tried going on recovery mode, and it worked, so I cleaned the cache partition, made it clean user files, etc... then pressed to reboot, and still didn't work...
So I thought it could be a battery problem, and unplugged the cable while it was on the recovery screen, and it didn't turn off, I let it on the recovery screen, and went to do some work for about 2 hours, it was still on
Now it won't do anything without the cable, can't turn on, can't go to recovery, and even with cable plugged the "Samsung galaxy S2" screen won't appear anymore, and I couldn't get to the recovery screen anymore....
Here's a video of the actual situation:
Does anybody knows what's happening and how to fix?
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.

Hi,so i replaced LCD in my I9515, I've been doing this with youtube tutorial. Before 1-2 weeks ago my phone boot normally but i couldnt see anything due to broken LCD. In store, guy took my battery and connected it to a naked motherboard and lcd to see if it's working. After replacment when i try to boot it's stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and wont boot further. I can go into download mode, computer and odin are seeing connected phone, but i cannot boot into recovery it's just showing blue "booting recovery" and nothing happening. When I charging it, the grey battery pops out, but when i unplug it the battery is still there like it's still connected. Sometimes when i try to turn it off when it's stuck on galaxy s4 logo it's turning off then on by itself like 2 or 3 times. Any ideas how to fix it? It's hardware or software problem? In a minutes i'll try to flash stock soft from sammobile. Phone was never rooted and no custom roms were installed.
Thanks for all help.
EDIT Flashing with ODIN not solved the problem
EDIT Now phone doesnt show battery when connected just one vibrate and screen is blank, and when i try to boot it while connected it's just vibrating and still black screen. When it was connected to pc it was vibrating every 2 seconds. When I try to boot it's by itself trying to boot recovery but it's not booting and blue "recovery booting" just hang on top of screen and nothing happening.
EDIT After restart by volume down in download mode S4 acts like in the beggining of problem
EDIT It's getting hot around processor when charging (about 5-10 min)
My galaxy s6 edge has been stuck in a boot loop. I have not dropped it or anything. Last night, about 12 hours ago, I took it out of my pocket and it wasn't turning on. Once I got home and plugged it in, I was relieved to see the charging indicator. However, upon returning about five minutes later, I turned it on, only to see nothing happen except the charging indicator flash on the screen again. I then attempted to boot it into safe mode, which brought me to the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge-Powered by Android" screen (which is the first thing I usually see when powering on my phone). Normally after this screen, I see the Samsung logo, and then the AT&T logo. But instead the display turned off, and then showed the same screen again. Then it just went into a loop of this sequence. This only happens when it is plugged in. When it is not, nothing happens-the display doesn't turn on or anything.

Flash stock rom through odin to check if you can revive your device. Firmware can be found on sammobile website and odin can be found using Google, instructions on flashing firmware can be found here on xda.
Hoping for some help or alternatives to fix my fiancee's Pixel XL. Last night the phone just kept flashing the 'G' logo on for 10 seconds, off for 10 seconds. She said the phone was close to dying before it happened, and I imagine it probably ended up draining the battery afterwards with the constant bootloop. Plugged it in all night but the charging screen didn't come up and would just stay in the bootloop. I could get it into the boot loader (power button and volume down), but it wouldn't go into recovery mode and instead would go right back to the boot loop.
So I tried a battery pack to charge it and it still didn't show charging, but I was able to get it into recovery mode eventually, but still boot loop afterwards. At one point, after leaving it on boot loader menu while attempting to charge, it eventually just tried to start itself and made its way to the second Google splash screen after the main G logo. Looked like it froze there though and I couldn't get it to that point again.
On my way to work this morning I tried plugging it into my car's USB port after powering off from the boot loader, and this time I kept flashing that it was charging (looked like it was 3/4 charged but not sure how accurate that is). So I got into recovery again and tried 3 factory resets consecutively. Still bootloop after attempting a startup afterwards. There was a similar issue a couple weeks ago where it looked like it was stuck in a bootloop, but it turned out the phone actually was dead that time and the charger wasn't working. Once we switched chargers it booted right up.
Any other suggestions or possibilities? I don't have much troubleshooting experience otherwise. Phone is fully stock, Google Fi. Any other info I can provide please let me know!
