Galaxy S3 I747 won't turn on, help pls! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Okay so after I have used Titanium back up to back up my contacts, then I went to ROM Manager to try to boot into recovery that way.
But after the phone turns off it does not turn on, nothing. I've tried to boot into recovery and downloading mode nothing works. Pull out the battery would not work either. Please help me!

First off, why back up contact when you can sync with Google?
Next, try power -> home button -> volume up for 2 seconds. That will get you into cwm , assuming your rooted. Or try the same combo but volume down. That will get you into download mode.
I can't see how backing up could bork your phone. Unless you did something else

I was trying to flash in Cyanogenmod and my friend told me to go to the bootloader which I dont know what it is so i looked up a video in youtube. It told me to download this bootloader unlock thing and i used it. Next I turned off the phone and it wont turn on.

It looks like you bricked your phone... hold keys to go download mode and plug it to your computer maybe odin will see your phone

[Q] Help!!!!!

I formatted the /system partition by mistake and now my SGS II is dead. Can anybody help me???

The system partition is written to whenever you flash a rom. I would suggest following the root procedures again, as this should rewrite the system partition. I would wait for some second opinions though.
Edit: I think maybe the root thing was just the rooted kernel. Someone will probably post a Backup file soon and you may have luck with that.
The thing is that it is not booting at all and the only thing that the computer recognizes is a QHSUSB_DLOAD something.
Have you tried to use odin yet? Just to see if it shows a connection? I don't know if you know this way to get to download mode, but hold vol up + vol down when odin is running on your computer and your phone is connected to the computer. It should automagically go to download mode...unless you deleted it when you formatted system.
I tried that. The only thing I did before restarting was "format /system" I do not know if that has something to do with the download mode
I found this for the driver...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=631288&d=1308601930
I don't know what to do with it from there though.
Did you flash clockwork recovery yet?

Don't panic it can be fixed
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
How? I flashed. that is how I got to the format /system option. Any suggestion. The driver did not help and I am running out of ideas
If you flashed cwr, with the phone off hold volume up and down at the same time and press power. It should boot to a blue cwr screen. If that happens your in great shape. then all you need is a backup image. which I can upload after work

No worries your phone is not dead, you need to use Odin to reflash. Follow the instructions or google it on youtube how to get in download mode and use odin. Search Samsung Galaxy S the procedure is same.

He can't get into download mode...
You can always get in download mode there are different ways. He has a soft brick that can be fixed. Try pulling battery then plug it in then hold both volume buttons with TWO fingers and turn phone on and when Samsung logo pops up release power button but still hold on the volume buttons then download mode will kick in.

That's what he said. I already gave him these instructions.
Sometimes on my Vibrant I had to pull out the SIM and sdcard, so I guess that's another option.
I might need to be in front of my computer to help then not driving 80mph on the highway. Lol
But i'm pretty sure it can be fixed
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks all for your help. The phone is not responding to anything button related at least not all what i tried (And you guys mentioned).
Here's something else to try, since I don't think my instructions were clear.
Disconnect your phone from the computer.
Take out SIM.
Start Odin on the computer.
PRESS AND HOLD vol up and vol down.
WHILE HOLDING connect the phone to the computer.
This SHOULD do something, like show a yellow com port connection in Odin.
Disclaimer: I'm not yelling at you, just trying to highlight the important parts. I don't know your level of experience either, so if you feel I'm talking down to you, DON"T!
JAJAJAJA. not a problem. It shows the yellow port connection text box. but is not connecting to the phone it is waiting forever on SetupConnection. However, nothing is happening in the phone. the screen is still black.

again not to make you sound dumb but you have:
ODIN V1.8.4?
Samsung Kies installed but closed?
Pulled battery out?
put battery back in?
run odin v1.8.4?
hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in?
Do you have another computer and usb cable you can try if the above does not get you into download mode. it could be a driver issue on your computer
I am making a backup now for you to restore if we can get you in download mode to flash cwr

Help! Power button broke and have to return to stock

So the other night, my power button literally stopped working. I called Verizon and requested another device to be sent to me, but now I have to return this thing to stock before I send it back. I've tried to Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit by Wug, but my device won't show up. I can't get into bootloader mode because my power button won't work!!
Is there anything else I can do?

Is your phone on? Just use adb's command "adb reboot bootloader". If your phone is off, I don't know how you can turn it on without a power button.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
connect to your computer and use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
when you finally need to power it off to send it in, just pull the battery.
adb won't recognize my device. =/ It's stuck off.
You shouldn't have to worry then because they won't be able to turn it on either. lol

Uh.. Yeah they will. The physical power button isn't working but as they unscrew the Galaxy nexus they can trigger the mechanic to power the phone on. And then just replace the button and reflash it to stock and then resell the phone.
If they see that the device was already bootloader unlocked, don't be surprised to see additional charges on your next bill.

Have you tried the GN Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
If i remember correct, when the phone is ON, you can connect the phone, then reboot it with the GN toolkit to bootloader and install stock.
I think that could solve your problem
Take the battery out, plug the phone in, and then replace the battery. See if it will power up by itself.

Things I have tried:
GN Rootkit (adb/fastboot won't recognize device)
Plugging phone into computer and restarting computer
Draining battery and allowing to charge in phone until enough juice to turn on automatically
Plugging phone in with no battery
Nothing will work. Never tried a USB jig. Guess I will order one and see if that helps. Never used one before but I guess a google search will help. Guess I'll call Verizon and ask them to extend my return period before they bill me for the device.
Tried the naked drivers?

i highly doubt they will send the verizon police to repossess the replacement for when the find the unlocked bootloader.
you can send it in rooted
I had Verizon replace my last phone with Asurion insurance because of a blown speaker. The phone was running Cyanogen. There was no problem.
To be clear:
1. The phone was CLEARLY running Cyanogen because it powered on, showed the CM7 boot animation, and worked perfectly
2. They never called me, hassled me, or anything. Just credited my account.
good luck
Got into Odin mode, but no options to reboot. Just says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" The only option displayed is "Start" but I'd have to use the power button to select it (can't do that lol). What can I do from Odin?
Well, pretty sure I just hard-bricked it, so whatever.
Downloaded this: i9250xx_itl41f_fl.zip
and ran it while the phone was connected to the computer in odin mode.
Was kind of distracted by gf and didn't verify that it was for CDMA. I guess its GSM only. Anyways, now the jig won't bring up Odin mode, and I have an imagine of a phone connected to a monitor with a yellow exclaimation triangle between the two.
Guess that's it.
Found a CMDA odin image. gonna try to flash this. didnt realize you needed Odin3 too, lol. Will let you guys know how it worked..
Image worked. Back to stock 4.0.2. I suppose that means it's unrooted. Used the GN Rootkit to relock bootloader. I don't know if stock recovery is installed or not, though. I tried to reboot into recovery using the rootkit, but i just got a red triangle. Any ideas?

Well, I wanted to install MIUI and after the root I tried to restart and install the MIUI rom. Then that gave me a error 7 install aborted, so I read up and read somewher here (i am new to the S3 section) to unlock the bootloader via the ez unlock tool from the market. I dl it and ran it, then clicked on unlock. it said unlocked sucessfully and I tried to restart to install from zip but the S3 doesnt boot.
I cannot get into odin mode (vol up+home+power), but I hear the USB recognized sound and shortly 2 or 3 seconds after hear the usb unplugged sounds... (i had a little more than 50% battery left, idk if that makes any difference)

Even if nothing pops up on the screen, try booting into download mode, see if odin recognizes your phone. (it doesn't necessarily have to be on, as long as odin recognizes it, there's still hope.)

Tmobile's bootloader is all ready unlocked.
You just flashed Verizon's unlocked bootloader to a tmobile phone and bricked it. Maybe a jtag can fix it but you'll have to send it out and pay a fee for that.

Or remove the battery and try again to boot up in download mode.

Try a different usb slot sometimes a usb slot may malfunction I had that problem.
Also don't use a usb extender hub if you are it may screw with the voltage.
a new usb I'm sure you've heard that one but this has the least chance of working because you the s3 makes the noise which means the usb works
Try a new computer and check that you have Kies installed
Try to restart the laptop that also helps

Then I read online that this new 4.1.2 rom came out. As a new member XDA won't allow me to post the link of the rom...but you can find it in the Original Development Thread of the T-Mobile SGS3. Slim-i9300-2.7.0-OFFICIAL is the name of the rom [I copied it directly].
After making a backup of my current rom, installing this rom and installing the new gapps, I rebooted the device and nothing has worked since... [this happened about 12 hours ago].
Now, when I take out the battery and plug the charger in, the notification light becomes solid red. But nothing works...I can't go into download mode, I can't go into recovery. I knew this immediately when the phone did not vibrate after me holding down the power button for a few minutes.
The red notification light only turns on when I plug in the phone when the battery is out. If I put the battery in, after a few moments it goes away. I honestly thought maybe the battery was just dead...but I left it plugged in all night and I still can't do anything with the phone.

Did you mod the build.prop for any reason? (Google wallet maybe?)
If you did and then tried to update/install recovery through Rom Manager, it may have tried to install the wrong recovery on the wrong partition, resulting in a hard brick.

Easy Way to find out if it's hard bricked is to connect your phone to pc... If pc displays qhsusb - I forget what else then you are hard bricked and need to jtag fix it which should run you around 60 buxs. Sorry bud if that's the case but next time don't flash anything i9300 if you have a t999

I tried to turn it on in the morning and it wouldnt turn on. i know how to put my phone in recovery mode, ive done it before but it wont. it will go into download mode but thats.about. it. I know i dont know much about phones but i know how to put it in recovery mode to clear the cache and that isnt working.... any thoughts?

Does the phone actually connect to your pc? I assume you have the proper drivers installed? Open odin while in download mode and see if it detects the phone. Sounds as if the phone's bootloader is screwed. If its detected you should be able to fix without much trouble. Sometimes you have to flash the original stock rom as the newer ones sometime have trouble for whatever reason. Version 4.0.4 i believe.

I dont have odin on this computer, when i plug it in it isnt recognized, i assumed that was because it wasnt technically powered on. I guess i'll take it to someone tomorrow to have it looked at.... im so out of my element here... thanks.

If you can get the phone into download mode , it should auto install your drivers and make it recognizable by Odin.
