Alright I need some major help here guys. I flashed tasks 02/20 Rom and about a day using it, I was just about to go to bed, when my phone shut off randomly. Now it won't stay on, it will boot only to the samsung screen, and then it shuts off. Even in downloading mode, it won't even stay on long enough for me to try and re-flash back to stock. Any suggestions .. ? It's not a bootloop, I know what that is. Its it the battery .. I've had this before but the phone was able to stay on long enough for me to flash an emergency stock zip

Trying to fix my daughters SGIII Sprint phone.
This morning it started going into a bootloop.
What I've tried:
1) Attempted CWM recovery by pressing (VOLUP+HOME+POWER). The screen flashing "SAMSUNG" with in small blue font in upper left "Reocery Starting..." And then the phone shuts off right away.
2) Attempted ODIN recovery by pressing (VOLDOWN+HOME+POWER). Once in download screen in ODIN I try and flash KIES_HOME_L710VPBLJ7_L710SPRBLJ7_329968_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 but after a few seconds the phone just shuts off.
All in all I think if I can just get the phone to stop shutting down while in download mode I can at least flash something and this thing back up.

Okay, so I had this problem and at the end of the day I had to turn it in to Samsung for warranty purposes because the phone would automatically turn off when on and then restart the boot process and turn off again. However, I found a temporary fix, if you pull out the battery wait for a while (like an hour) and put it back in, the phone should stay on longer so you can flash through Odin. The phone will no longer turn on normally because once you start the flash with Odin the boot.img has been flashed but it's a broken flash due to the fact that the phone turned off in the process.
Here are simple steps:
Take out the battery and leave it out for an hour or so (longer won't hurt)
Get the USB plug and make sure it's in the computer and Odin is started with the correct tar file already selected so that you can flash it quicker
Put the battery back in and start the phone in download mode
Connect the phone and just let it sit for a couple second to make sure it stays on
If it does stay on for more than 15-20 seconds then you can begin the flashing process
If it turns off while in download mode you can take out the battery and put it back in (you don't need to wait)
It's really all just a matter of patience because eventually, the phone should turn on for long enough
Once flashed, the phone should work for a while
So after following that process, I got the phone to work for about 2 months but the issue reoccurred. I was eventually able to flash the stock rom but the problem persisted. So I called in to Samsung to turn it in for the warranty. So far, they have "Replaced a component" in my phone. I SHOULD have it back by Monday. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks, for the response. Battery is out now so I'll try later this evening after it sits for awhile.
I hope it works for you. Just as an update, Samsung has fixed the problem and my phone has shipped as of today! So I guess it's an error on their part.
No luck yet.. Going to leave battery out overnight and try again in morning.
so i decided to flash hyperdrive rom to my phone. i had like 26% battery and i took the risk to flash the rom while charging the phone with cwm. when the rom was done flashing, the phone booted but was stuck on the first hyperdrive logo, not the animated one. so i turned off the phone and then turned it back on. but the phone didnt turn on and after pressing the power button for 10 sec approximately, the charging battery logo showed for a sec then the phone turned back off. need help plz !!
pull battery out for a few minutes and if that does not work, then i recommend just using odin to unroot and flash stock then re-rooting your device. just make sure to have it plugged in to so it charges at the same time. then reflashing hyperdrive with the battery fully charged.

This would have nothing to do with the rom or flahs really because honestly 26% is enough time to flash any rom. This sounds like a hardware issue but maybe not.
As previously suggested does doing a battery pull for at least a few minutes let the phone boot up at all ? If so just odin. If not its hardware dead
Did you clear data/cache/Davlik after flashing? Doesn't sound like a power problem, but you can always charge the phone while it's off. If you cannot get back to recovery, there's always Odin/Heimdall to flash your phone back to stock.
have troubles restoring my IMEI for my new model, flashed a lot of time, from stock to custom and then lost IMEI again and cannot restore, forced me to flash Stock Rom again. doing this for whole day now...
Then when I installed Phoenix Rom, my phone wont be able to swith the screen on(like deep sleep) unless I restart my phone by holding the power button. After the phone boots, waited for few minutes and it went back to sleep again. I'm not sure it is in deepsleep or death, got no idea... Can any help guide me thorugh this? KINDA URGENT... or hardware faulty......
And another thing...my PC can't recognise my phone when I plugged it into my pc, there is a sound notification but cannot look into it...
I can still call to my phone but my phone won't ring....
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I NEED TO USE THE PHONE BADLY! URGENT!!!
If any one can help with any idea I would really appreciate it.
So I let my little brother play my s2 and he completely ran the battery out.
now I have left it on the charger over night, when i go to boot into recovery. You feel the phone vibrate then see the samsung for a split second, and if you keep holding the power you just feel the phone keep vibrating. The screen never turns back on. Now I know it works because i was able to boot recovery once, when i did that i just tried a full wipe and reboot. phone kept boot looping, so i pulled battery, but now i cant get into download mode or recovery.
Please help, or atleast let me know that its not fixable
thanks
You are supposed to let go of power after the first vibration. ?
Try downloading a stock ROM (.tar format, I believe) and flashing it, using ODIN. That worked for me when I bricked my SGH-T989.
I later had to install a new recovery, but you can play around and see what needs doing.
So i was flashing a new rom with twrp bootloader unlocked everything went well and then when i went out of twrp it just would't turn on anymore just off but the screen was still on so the phone too but then i thought just to wait till the battery dies and so it did i put my phone to charge and i didn't say anything so i just let it there came back about an hour later still nothing and it wont turn on, nothing at all i don't know what to do i hope it ain't hard bricked
Try booting into download mode(odin mode), you'll have the confirmation page on it DO NOT GO PAST IT, let your phone on there for a few a hours so it can get enough juice to flash your stock firmware.
From my experience one hour should be enough to flash but you have to be quick after you take it out of the charger and put putting it to the pc. I also recomend to have every firmware file preloaded on odin.
