[Q] Sudden Death for S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was driving and my phone was in my pocket. There is no way it was hit or got wet, I was driving whole time. Next time I took my phone, it was off. I tried to press power button and also hold it, nothing happened. I though my phone was stuck (never did it before) so I pulled out my battery, waited 10 minutes, put it back in and tried again. Nothing. I also had charger in my car and tried with that, nothing happened. No LED light, no screenlight, no vibration, nothing.
Now few hours after I am home and started to check whats wrong with my phone. I tried with original charger, nothing. My girlfriend also has S3 so I tried with her battery, nothing. She put my battery into her phone and noticed that it didn't go on. Funny thing is that I took my phone off charge this morning and phone was on for maybe 4 hours before this "death" happened. I took my multimeter and checked voltage. It was 0. Not 0.4 or 2.1 but 0.000. I checked my girlfriends battery also if my meter was broken but I got normal value from her battery. I plugged my charger into my phone and left it for 15 minutes. I tried to check voltage again and it was still 0.
Question is, did my MB broke and created short circuit resulting emptying my battery completely or did my battery flip and broke my phone at the same time? Also, are both cases under normal warranty and will Samsung still repair/replace my phone even if I had it rooted and installed MIUI? Reason I ask this is that my phone won't be sent to samsung for nothing and that they won't ask me to pay for shipping and investigating problem (I don't even want to know their hour wages for this).

try a different battery first

Thanks for your reply. I did try it and also stated this on my post. Sorry if it was hard to read.

Broken motherboard suggests physical damage = no warranty.
Rooted and custom rom = no warranty
Will Samsung see its been rooted ??
Boots to download mode ??

But funny thing is that my phone didn't take any physical damage, it has never falled from big height (maybe something like 10-20cm and always to soft surface like carpet). It was working when I put it into my pocket and was broken when I took it. I was in the car whole time, not moving from drivers seat.
I'm not sure if Samsung will see if it is rooted since phone doesn't boot at all (tried with working battery). No vibration, no LED light, no screenlight. It's like trying without battery.
Do you think I should try and send it to Samsung or just throw it to trashcan?

If the motherboard is DOA then they won't try to fix it, just replace it and your battery (if the battery is under six months old). Well worth sending for warranty, at worse you'll pay the postage and refuse the repair if they try to charge you.

send it in, only option

Agree suck it and see .

My phone and battery are over 1 year old so no warranty for my battery. I just though maybe problem is at on/off switch but then again it doesn't explain my empty battery. I am now charging my battery on my girlfriends S3 and seems like it is charging so I guess problem is on my phone only. I will take my phone to local shop and they will send it tomorrow to Samsung. Thank you all for fast answer, lets hope best that they will switch whole motherboard and wont notice rooted phone.

Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue as well with my phone. I have left it on charge overnight and the phone stopped working. I have tried all the steps above but without any luck. If I take the phone for repair as you advise, are there any charges involved? And if they are, how much is the average cost for me to be ready for it and avoid getting a heart attack.
Thank you in advance for any replies.

If covered by warranty then there should be no charge, SDS is due to Samsung problem.
But if warranty is not available then allow £200 for a new motherboard.

Well with the situation that I have with the phone at the moment, is it even possible to detect the root?

If the motherboard is completely dead then no, they won't find root (root alone doesn't invalidate warranty in the EU). The only problem might be if JTAG restores bootloader and flashed counter.

Thanks for the help on this, will try to sort this with the provider from where the phone was purchased. "Take my Thanks"!!!

Had that same situation last march the problem is bootloader got deleted or erased. I did is I replaced the motherboard with a new one. Buy an s4 instead haha.

SGS2 totaly Dead and hot during charge

My SGS2 died on me yesterday. was working all day as usual but at the afternoon when i where to make a call it wouldn't wake. Had 50% or more left on the bats for sure at the moment.
The phone where running the CM9 development rom wich has been running on it since beginning of january Last time i updated it was about a week ago. (Don't think this problem is related to the rom though)
Symptoms:
The phone is totaly dead, no signs of life on the screen. Cannot get in to download or do normal boot.
When I charge nothing happens on the screen, but after a little while the phone begins to get hot betwheen the camera and the battery (where the simcard is)
This video is not mine, but our phone seems to have the exact same symptoms.
I have tried:
Re-attaching the battery, and leaving it whitout bat for a few hours
Starting it with charger in with and whitout a battery
Tried a bettery of a friends SGS2
Pluging it to the computer, no sign of life (my computer does not react at all)
Nothing works
My thought is that this is a hardware related issue. But please correct me if I am wrong.
I haven't tried a JIG yet, will see if I have correct resistors at work tomorrow and make one. But i hardly believe it will work.
Is there any chance the JIG can reset the counter even if I wont get any life from it? or is it first after the flash to stock with JTAG the counter resets?

You're confusing JTAG with USB jig, but it's extremely unlikely to do anything. Considering the phone isn't responding to anything anyway, I also doubt the custom binary counter matters much.

So I figure this is a hard brick tried everything u did and a jig gonna send it to Mobiletech videos for jtag fix after i get paid and hope that works.
any news?
My phone did the same last night.
cm9..
Totally dead, cannot charge. Please any advice would be great. thanks.
You could try a jig, but as per the above unlikely to work. Needs to be JTAG'd/repaired either by Samsung or a 3rd party repairer. Hopefully if you send it to Samsung they won't be able to tell the phone has had non-stock firmware on it as per Oinky's post & fix it under warranty (they may not tho).
This is going to sound odd but check you're display.
Wipe it clean and hold it at an angle against a bright lamp. Look for any small cracks or black lines.
Could the phone be water damaged?
The backup battery on the motherboard also can leak and cause problems like this
I work on the Samsung team at a service center in Norway and these are some common reasons for a dead phone like this
Could maybe be the battery on the motherboard that has leaked, but i guess i won't find out until it comes back from service.
Strange though.. Phone has been fine, just all of a sudden this. Exactly as the op describes..
I put it on the charger last night, had around 20% battery left. In the morning it was completely dead, and a bit hot. Plugged in the charger again, and the charging symbol comes up for a few seconds, disappears, comes back etc a few times, then it gets rather hot around the camera, and on the front side (screen side) and stays completely dead (no charging symbol), until it has been unplugged and let to cool down a bit.
Every time i plug it in, the same thing happens.
I'm traveling, and wont be able to send it on service until after a month's time.
alas, phone free holiday

[Q] Dead Galaxy S2

hey,about a week ago I flashed my galaxy s2 with Resurrection ROM,everything went great,I also wiped emmc in the recovery(before I knew about the hard brick bug)
anyways everything was fine,restored via titanium backup,after about an hour I wanted to restart my phone,so it turned off,but never turned on,it won't respond to charging,usb connections won't go to download mode nor recovery..just makes some heat (as it was turned on)
so I took it to a well known repair shop and told me he could revive it with a J-Tag
but I'am just worried :s
what could be the problem?
What could the problem be ? Without opening your phone up & having a look/testing how would we know ?
Sounds like something on the mainboard or the USB/charging circuitry might have died given it died suddenly & not while you were in the process of flashing something/similar, though if he's telling you it's fixable with JTAG then he obviously thinks it's a NAND issue.
Take it to another repairer & get 2nd opinion (or a 3rd, 4th, etc).

I tried different charging methods (wallcharger, usb) and used different battery's (standard 1650Mah & Extended Battery Kit 2000 Mah)
Is there something i can do because its way to early to buy another phone!

My phone dead too.. Was using NeatRomLite and there was no issue with it.. And today... *sniff sniff*.. in the middle of using the phone, it got stuck.. I pulled the battery.. gave it 2 min.. and tried to power it on.. nothin.. no download mode, no recovery, no charging indicators.. nothin.. it has as much functionality as a piece of rock now :crying:
Any updates on your S2's???
today i checked my phone and within an hour the battery had gone down from 70% to 30% and was hot reading 48 degrees celcius on widgetsoid monitor. i rebooted and it kept on draining till it got to 0 and turned off. once i got home and tried to charge through USB and A/C but nothing happens, the phone wont turn on or charge, blank screen. i saw it flash the battery charging icon for about a second but it went away straight away. about a month ago i was running cm9 and then flashed 4.0.4 to have a look at the differences but not long after flashed siyah kernel with odin and restored my cm9 cwm backup. i have been on cm9 and siyah kernel for a long time and thats what it had running today. ive had usb and a/c and misc charging current set to 600mA for quite a while as well, and when i charge the phone in my car it always gets a bit hot on the back.
is my phone dead from hardbrick or a problem with the usb charging circuit?
i have enquired about warranty where i bought it from and now waiting to hear back from them.

flashing start-up screen

Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.
I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery, sim card and memory card pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (still flashing "dead" battery now off the charger)
It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. Factory settings other than downloaded apps. haven't downloaded anything in weeks
There is no water damage at all.
I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.
I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.
I tried holding the power, home and volume (tried up and down both) and nothing happens, just keeps blinking the "dead" battery, even tho it's fully charged
HELP PLEASE!?
Given it's you haven't rooted the phone/run non-stock firmware or messed with it in any way, you'd be silly to try anything like that to try and fix it now (not that anything like that would work anyways by the sound of things).
Send it in for warranty service, assuming it's still covered by warranty. If not, have it repaired by Samsung/a Samsung authorised repairer or a mobile repair shop.
I think they only come with a 1 year warrenty I believe, I can't remember and if I have one its through Tmobile and not samsung. I got the phone a year ago, I believe on June 30th! GO FIGURE RIGHT!?
And, I don't think anything is going to be open today at all given it's Independence day.
Take it to a local mobile repair shop in that case. Will probably be cheaper than an out of warranty repair by Samsung/authorised repairer. If you bought it through your carrier, call them in the first instance & ask them what the go is re: warranty.

Just sucks it's a holiday and I have to wait til Thursday.
Without opening up the phone & having a look, who knows what/why happened (irrelevant anyways). Wait till holidays are over & contact your carrier re: warranty, if no warranty go to local mobile repair shop.

[Q] Phone Wont Turn On/Charge - Not Bricked

Hi Everyone,
After doing a deep search i did not find the exact problem I have.
Specs:
Phone: SGS2 i9100
ROM: CM10 Nightly 08.09.2012
Kernal: CM Stock
You can see the symptoms of my problem in the video I found below (it wont allow me to paste link with less than 10 posts so i shortened the URL)
youtube.com/watch?v=BCyp1iCTW2M
This is what happened:
1. I had an Adapter from Car Outlet to USB so i connected my phone using it but it seemed they did not like each other.
The phone was stuck on a black screen so I restarted it and noticed I lost 40% battery in those few minutes, looking at BBS i saw the RIL wakelock so decided its just a coincidence and i'll let the battery drain all the way to calibrate it at night (the phone worked perfectly fine)
2. After the battery was fully drained I connected it to the PC to charge and turned it on and everything was fine, noticed it was at 0% so after a few minutes it turned off, after doing it a couple of times i let the phone charge "turned off" (thought maybe its low voltage of PC charge) through the whole night
3. at morning it did not charge at all, I managed to "almost" turn the device on but now the battery is really drained so i cant even do that
4. when i tried going into download mode (just to see if my phone is OK) i managed, when i am trying now i get "Battey is to low, cannot download"
5. I cant get into recovery mode, but i tried it after all the process above so its probably because of low battery
6. I tried it on 2 diffrent batteries (unfortunately my old one was also drained before)
- Anker 1900
- Original Samsung 1650
I am going to get an AC charged and try using it.
Any Ideas what should i do or what the problem is ?
Thanks in advance!

This is the way to go. First make absolutely sure the battery is charged, if possible by testing it in another device. With a fully charged battery it should be possible to find out if your phones hardware is still fine, especially the charging board.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply!
So far i got an AC charger for the phone (not a battery only cradle charger kind of thing) but getting the same problem.. it just wont charge the battery through the phone..
I'll try to get a fully charged battery to give feedback that the phone is fine and not bricked in any way as i mentioned before.
If everything is fine i'll see that the battery is chargeable when not completely dry and we'll be smarter after that.
in case it really became unchargeable and it is a problem in the charging board as you mentioned
Could you please expand on the functionality of the charging board ? and whats the process for fixing/replacing it ?
Thanks in advance!

Excellent! If it is not bricked then chances are good that it is 'only' a battery/charging problem.

If, in the end, the phone does not charge by the USB connector (no matter if from PC or wall plug) then it could be worth to replace the flex print with the USB connector and parts of the charging electronics. This flex print is quite cheap and you can get it from ebay. With the help of some video from youtube you should be able to replace it yourself
Well,
I have an update on the issue.. unfortunately can't say its a good one..
I've tried turning on the device with a diffrent battery (charged) and it workes perfectely fine.
since I live far i didnt want to wait a month till i get the USB flex from ebay i went to a repair lab and let the test the phone.
Unfortunately it is not the USB Flex but a deeper problem,
apparently the u500,u501,u504 parts got fried on the MB and they don't have them at all.
I am going to try to restore my phone (using a full battery) to the way i bought it and try go to the store and work the warranty (it voids as soon as i changed ROM), going to have to read a lot on how to do it perfectly and erasing traces of changes (go an old nand and need to unroot afterwards)
do u know a good guide for restoring the phone to full stock ?
Also,
is it possible to buy a complete MotherBoard for the GS2 or its not worth it ?
Thanks for the help!

There are quite a few guides around here that deal with unrooting and getting the device ready for official service. Personally I just make sure the flash counter is reset (TriangleAway or JIG) and then flash a stock firmware.

If the warranty wont work than I saw its around 150$ but if that will solve it it might be worth it instead of buying a new phone.
Thanks Again!
They are a lot more than that unless you are in USA/Canada.Theres a firm on eBay that give you $30-$50 for your old board,and they sell theirs for around $180.
Samsung would be around $250...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
So.. After a long time (!!) I have an update.
No lab fixed my phone as everyone said its "unfixable" or need to replace some parts that they don't have... so I did what I planned to do.
I took a full battery from a friend
Restored the phone to full stock (the same official "partner" ROM I got the phone when bought it (even putted Android 2.3 on it LOL)
formatted my SD card , and of course did a "Triangle Away" to reset the flash counter
basically returned the phone to the way i bought it..
Since I still had around 2 month on the warranty I went to the store i bought the phone from and they accepted the phone based on warranty, as i didn't install any ROM's (LOL )
Only TODAY after more than a month and a half of wait, while it was at their official lab, after that was sent abroad to the Vendor itself, after nobody was able to fix it I got a new phone (14 days used phone) so, considering i was ready to throw my phone and by a new one it turned out OK.
since no one was able to fix it, it was probably a major problem.
Of course its better i got a new one, since even if they fixed the issue, who know what else it might effected so its a very good result.
Don't know if this helps anyone a lot, but at least its some closure to the thread.
Thanks for everyone who helped here!

[Q] SGS2 dead after freeze

Hi,
today my I9100 froze while in the browser. It didn't respond to any touch or button activity. So I removed the battery and reinserted it, but the phone didn't boot up. There was nothing, a black screen, no matter which buttons I pressed.
I tried the Download Mode, Pushing the Volume-Up/Down while plugging in the USB cable. The battery is fine, I tested it on another phone.
The phone was rooted with cm-10.1-20130606-NIGHTLY-i9100. It does not matter if a SIM is placed or not, still no response from the phone.
One odd thing tough: The phone gets warm in the right corner, near the flashlight when the battery is inserted for a while.
Can I do something or is it dead?
Replace motherboard; service centre - new motherboard (most expensive option), source 2nd hand motherboard from 'donor' phone (with a broken screen, etc; search online) & either replace it yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it (cheaper option).
And if your warranty is good, you could always take it to a service centre & play dumb (obviously they're under no obligation to repair or replace it under warranty tho given you've voided it).
Herbert Heaheye
Wouldn't it be have to repaired in order to determine if a custom ROM was used? The phone is not showing any reaction at all, so I guess the only way finding out is reading the flash chip itself, is that possible or is this the normal case?
Anyway I purchased a USB JIG, just to be sure before I give it into repairs.
They might be able to tell. You might get warranty service. These things are never guaranteed either way. Take it to a service centre & find out.
Edit - Jig has 0.00000001% chance of working, but try it anyways. Heat around camera & no life = dead components on MB.
Similar or probably the same issue

My phone is a I9100, rooted, running CM 10.1 Nightly (I don't remember which exact version but definitely not the latest nightly). My phone was in my backpack along with my laptop. When I tried to use it, it remained unresponsive so I turned it off by holding the power button and then turned it on again. It showed the "Samsung Galaxy SII" boot logo and was stuck.
So I pulled the battery out, waited for about 15 secs, put the battery back in and turned it on - no reaction. The phone won't turn on, my computer doesn't detect, not charging. The service center says that my Mobo needs to be replaced.
I have ordered an USB Jig but I'm not sure if it will work. Did you try the Jig? Did it work?
My phone does get heated up near the rear camera even before it died. So not sure if it really is a fried mobo and bootloader failure.
If a service centre has told you its a dead MB, a jig ain't working. Save your time & have it repaired now.
