Hey guys,
I have a problem with the screen of my Galaxy S3, I locked the phone and 2 minutes later when I pressed the power button to get to the unlock screen, it turned white (see the picture I attached). The phone didn't fell or hit something, nor enter in contact with a liquid, I mean for no reason I got the scrambled white screen. I took out the battery and reboot but once the phone boots there's the white screen.
If anybody as encoutered the same issue and found a solution please let me know.
Thanks
Can you still enter download mode or recovery mode?

No I can't, once I press the power button I immediatly have the white screen.
take it back to where you purchased it, you have a faulty screen
Wel try to boot into download mode by holding the power+ home+volume down and if it doesn't work your phone is definitely bricked

It happened to me yesterday! i left the phone to charge overnight and it is having an 7200mAh battery from iAnker.
could it be because of the battery?

Recovery doesnt work

Are you trying to go into download mode with the phone ON, or OFF?
To go to download mode:
1. turn phone off
2. hold Vol-Down + Home
3. while holding above buttons, push and hold power
4. should get a screen with green text saying something like "to continue, push Vol-Up, to reboot, push Vol-Down"
Get a USB Jig! They are really cheap
Solved! I've tryed with home+volume down+on/off button, and it worked. When i do volume down+home+on/off, it always pass download mode. Strange...

Don't release the buttons until you see download mode.

After installing foxhound my phone asked me if I wanted to disable the stock recovery flash or something like that I really cant remember, I selected yes because I wanted the foxhound not the stock rom. Now my phone wont turn on at all. Please help!

Would be quite unlikely to hardbrick from recovery flash, especiallybif you flash right stuff for S3....can you get to download mode, even if you cannot, try download mode combo and plug phone to odin, does it wreckingnize it? Does phone show something (galaxy s3 bootscreen) or screen stays compleetely black?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Screen is completely black and will not start using (Volume - + Home Button + On/Off), does not appear on my computer when connected, does not appear on Odin.

if you can't get into download, it's a dead mobo
A usb jig will help you if you can get your hands on one.

I live in a rural area and I dont know what a usb jig is or how its used.
This phone cost more than the moon and the stars!!!! How am i ever going to fix this!!!!????
Have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in? I had a similar issue with my note 2. I flash something and it was just a black screen. Power button, home button, and volume button did nothing for me. I took out the battery and put it back in and I saw the samsung splash screen and went back to the black screen. So I had to take the battery out, hold down the volume, home, and power button and push the battery in. It was a pain to do. Having a second person may make it easier. But give that a go.

Hard Bricked my Xperia U
Hi
I bricked my phone couple of days back
I tried charging using a universal battery charger for couple of hours;
Then tried your steps; but it is not entering the flashmode
I had flashed kernel with CWM and recovery mode was not working I was testing some of the kernels and it got bricked
When I connect the normal wall charger; it shows me steady Red LED for some time and then it goes off
It is not booting or even vibrating
Please suggest
It there a way to give extra power somehow and boot it ?
Regards
Amit Jain
The same happened to me few days ago!
Just keep it charging for 30 mins or so.. the kernel will boot up and them u can further charge it..Worked for me

I was just messaging people on fb ...and sudddenly my phone's screen went black then i thought it was just a temporary issue...as it was almst deaad
then i removed the battery and for an hour or so then ire-inserted the battery and tried to turn on by pressing the power button nothing happened
so i decide to re-flash the rom...i removed the battery and pressed the down volume button and reinserted the battery opened up the flash tool connected the phone via usb in flash mode thank god it got connected in flash mode and i flashed stock GB
now everything went fine after the flashing got over i tried to start the phone
i pressed the power button result:NOTHING
i then flashed a custom kernel and then pressed reboot the phone got connected in flash mode so i tried to flash the stock
to my suprise the device got force booteed :highfive:
now i tested the phone in each and every aspect known to me everything works fine....even the power button is ok!!1
but i switched off the phone to insert the memory card and tried to Power it UP Nothing happens what could be the problem??
i mean the Phone is ok as it gets connected in Flash mode as well as Fast-boot Mode
the power button is ok!!!as i tested it when the phone Booted up! :laugh:

Highlights:- doesn't show charging symbol or Indication when connected with charger and when connected to USB it automatically goes into flash mode(when turned off)
everything worked fine when it was ON!!!HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
You most likely have issue with your screen. When you power it up duz it vibrate?
If I be at your place I stud Flash stock and take it back where I got it from.most likely it's a HW issue

Could it simply be a battery problem? Try changing battery (use a battery from a friend's xperia ray to try). Maybe that's the problem
What ROM/kernel were you using, when you were "messaging on FB"? Any overclocking?

not sure.. but try this one below.... using latest version of flashtool connect your phone to pc in Flashmode and flash this ftf file below
DOWNLOAD:Unbrick your Xperia
let me know if it works!!
P.S: flashmode means press your volume down button while the phone is switched off and connect it to pc then the notification LED will glow green
YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check if it can get into Fastboot/Recovery.
Remove the battery > Reinsert it > Keep the Volume Down+Power button pressed.

Think you mist some steps. It looks like you did not install the right boot image or don't have a rom installed. Maybe follow some guides on this forum.
