i9300 won't turn on - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi it looks like my phone is hardbricked, but it dosn't make sense how it has happened.
Iv'e been running it with Siyah v1.8.6 Kernel
with Paranoid Android (2.56)on the primary boot
and stock i9300 on the secondary boot
It's been working fine for the past two weeks
I wake up today and the device is dead, It was on charge the charge LED was on.
After unplugging it from the mains it won't turn on or boot into download or cwm.
Any ideas why it's hard bricked?
Any solutions? Just ordered the USB Jig

sudden death, samsung will replace the motherboard under warranty

Condolence buddy.

Flashed Custom, Worked fine for a few hours and reboots, now won't turn on

So I flashed SuperNexus to my I9300T and it worked great for a few hours. I had to reboot a few times to iron some bugs out.
Then I looked at it after leaving it for a while, then the notification light was flashing but screen wouldn't turn on. So I pulled the battery and now it won't turn on. I can't get into recovery, power button just does nothing.
Any ideas?

A few times that's more like a bad flash .
Charge the battery
USB Recovery Jig to try download mode flash stock rom ..
Fails then .
Paid for JTag repair is usually cheaper than a service centre repair .

Oh it was OK, just some bluetooth and 3G issues mainly. I've ordered a USB jig.
What would cause a bad flash? I used to flash my old HTC desire all the time never had an issue. I'm going to get a new one (via work) as well as fix this one. I loved the new ROM so I really want to re-flash the new one too...
Ah well back to my iPhone 4S for a while.... ergh

[Q] Phone dead after turn off

Hi guys, :fingers-crossed:
Ok, Here the situation.
My friend just got his S2 i9100. After around 5-6 hours phone in idle mode, he decided to change sim card. So he turn off phone, change sim card and turn on back but phone not turn on. It’s completely DEAD. Yea, can't access to download mode or cwm, just a black screen. The phone cannot be in charge when the cable is connected. Tried many way likes unplug the battery, do a soft reset, hard reset and many others but phone did not give any reaction. Just I said before, it completely dead.
So we decided to send it to the shop. They said, there a problem with the IC inside the phone.

His S2 is running Rootbox rom with Dori kernel. Before this he also had flashed RR rom, Omega rom, siyah kernel. The phone comes with firmware 4.0.3. He never flash firmware 4.0.4.
So here, i want to ask, is this kind of problem occur because of flashing rom and kernel? Or it’s totally because of bad hardware?
Thanks
It is a hardware issue, flashing may effect the screen but it should not affect the charging. the phone should charge wether it is on or off.

dead?

i flashed a rom onto a m8s galaxy s2 after i rooted it the phone was stuck on bootscreen for around 30 min i turned it of and phone will not charge light up or anything ive tryed jig and nothing ive tryed button and nothing battery is fine ive tested it
i thought it would be easy as i have done it on s3 lots of times
is the galaxy s2 dead or can i revive it
Maybe jig is faulty? Have you tried booting into the download mode? It is the same as s3.
If not, try another jig or another battery. Also, try charging it. Does it get hot near the camera when it charges?
If the above fail, you have to JTag, unless you wiped from a 4.0.4 stock rom.

Well its customery (And common sense to be honest) to inform people of relevant information when asking for help.
What exactly did you do/steps you took?
Which rom did you flash?
Which kernel did you flash?
How did you root?
Did you wipe data/factory reset at any point?
Give as much info as possible so that it can possible diagnose what happened.

yes, stock 4.0.4
Try a usb jig, if that doesn't work i'm afraid your phone is bricked: jtag or mb replacement
+ does your phone get hot near camera when put on charger?

what is usb jig ??
on charger it gets not even warm ;-(
A usb jig is used to force your phone into download mode. Search on google for it: galaxy s2 usb jig.
Try to put it on charger for some time and then see if it gets hot near the camera, if it does then im pretty sure its hard bricked: brick bug.

o.k. i'll try the charger test ;-((
phone stays cool.....
Then i would try a usb jig.
But i have read that this method also worked for a few people

Are you sure about that?
Everything seems like that. You can always pull out battery for about half a minute, put it back in and try to boot. If this doesn't help then nothing will.
