Edit: Read second post for possible fix.
"Ugh, look at this idiot/noob posting another SDS thread! SPAMZ! " Now hold on there Mr./Mrs. forum person! Give me a chance, if you will, please! Let's start off with phone specs and all of that jazz.
Phone Specs (hopefully all-inclusive, sorry for unknown info)
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S III SPH-L710
Carrier: Sprint
Mobo: It's 16GB, so probably the one that's known to experience the SDS
ROM: FreeGS3 v3.0.0
Kernel: Ktoonsez (couldn't tell you the version, whatever the ROM came with when selecting "ktoonsezz" as my kernel during installation)
If you need more info, ask for it and I will try to supply it.
The Issue
So, I was sitting here using my phone as a wireless hotspot for my laptop, when I went to check on my phone because a webpage was not loading, when I turned on the screen it showed what I believe was the "critically low battery" pop-up, then the phone turned off in less than a second. First I tried to power the phone on: nothing happened. So, naturally, I grabbed my charger and plugged in my phone. Hopefully others know the screen that pops up when you plug in your GS3 while it is off, that little battery with the spinning circle in it? Well that pops up incredibly briefly, then my screen goes blank and the phone is completely unresponsive. I have tried battery pulls, multiple batteries, getting into download mode, anything and everything (as far as I know).
What to Do?
Do I have the SDS? :crying: Is the only option to take my phone in to a Samsung center and get them to repair it? (I think Samsung is building a GIANT building 5 minutes from my house.) Is there some simple thing I can do I am unaware of?
Thanks in advance //Slit
Miraculous Miracle! (9 steps)
Well I'll be darned (moments after post, of course)! I have a solution that may work for anyone with an identical issue:
1. Let phone sit plugged in to wall for some time (hour or so, 30 minutes is probably fine)
2. Keep phone plugged into wall
3. Have any case you may have and the back removed
4. Pull the battery
5. Have fingers ready on the download mode buttons
6. As soon as the battery is slipped in, press and hold download mode buttons
7. Miracle! (download mode starts)
8. Press down and reboot phone
9. Return to normal, clam, non-panicking state
Is Your Issue Semi-Identical to Mine?
If your phone will show that battery with spinning circle in it or light up the LED very briefly when you plug your phone into the wall, then this fix should work for you if done properly.
Hope this helps someone! //Slit

I have a very similar situation. Was playing around on the phone, and then it just froze, went black and I haven't been able to turn it on since. When plugged in there is no light, unless I don't use a battery then I get a red light for a short while (short while at least on a PC, I haven't tried for an extended period of time when plugged into the wall). PC recognizes it kind of. It recognizes that something is connected, but that is about it. I'm going to give this method a shot, hopefully it works. Just in case though, any other ideas?

So I recently installed CM 10.1.2 on my S3, and everything worked perfectly for a few days. Yesterday though, my phone started acting strangely (lag when turning screen off, registering phantom input, etc) and began rebooting every few minutes. At some point, it ran out of battery - and now I can no longer boot past the CM loading wheel screen.
I can't boot to recovery, and I don't think my phone is taking charge (from my computer or a wall outlet), and the farthest I can get is the loading wheel - sometimes it only gets as far as displaying the Samsung logo, or the Galaxy S3 screen with the android dude at the bottom.
I'm still covered under warranty, and would love to take it to the store for a replacement (I've had battery issues prior to this), but the fact that it can get to the CM loading wheel means that they might figure out that I've rooted and whatnot. But I can't get to recovery to flash a stock image, so...what can I do?

Your best shot is to either borrow someone's S3 battery or buy a battery pack. Use that to restore your phone back to stock (unroot) and then you can go to the store for replacement.

So turns out battery isn't the issue, I used a wall charger to get it to full charge. I can get it to the download mode confirmation screen, and can press volume up to confirm - but my phone reboots soon after that.
Recovery isn't really possible either, I can see the blue text in the upper right but my phone reboots after that as well.
My phone will often show an empty battery icon with a little refresh icon in the middle; does this indicate that it doesn't see the battery as charged (even though it is)?

Yeah I've been doing some research into the issue...
I've noticed that my phone automatically boots when I put the battery in, and that it'll do a quick vibrate when plugged in to a power source (outlet or computer) but won't turn on.
Apparently the phone isn't supposed to boot automatically when the battery is put in, and this could be the source of the random reboots - I think if I can get the rebooting under control, I'll be able to get into download mode and fix it all. But I'm not sure how to do that. Maybe the power button has gone bad, as it also doesn't usually respond when I try to use it to turn on.
If there is a problem with the power button, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Mine does the exact same thing where I have to pull the battery and when I put it back in it automatically starts up and when I go to download or recovery it turns off before I can do anything
Sounds like power button issue.
I was having the same issues (random reboots, boot loop, powering on when battery put in, reboots in download mode and recovery)
This is not an easy fix. I ended up pulling the power button out and just setting my screen to time out after 15 seconds. Sucks but it works now.
If I ever need to turn off or hard reboot, I stick a pin in the power button hole and push down on the button.
Really turning me off on purchasing future Samsung phones
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
The power button is a common issue for these phones.
I am a new user but old reader of this forum and first of all I want to say Hi as being my first post here and Thank You for the all help I've got from XDA-Dev.
A few hours ago I wanted to reboot into recovery mode but just when entered into recovery display went black. For a moment I thought that the device when power off after pressing to long even after logo power button. But no, device would not power on even if I:
1. Hold for 60s power button
2. Hold power button + home button for 60s
3. Hold buttons combination for recovery
4. Hold buttons combination for bootloader
5. Connect power cord to show battery indicator
6. Use steps 1, 2, 3, 4 with power cord connected
7. Will not initiate a new device detected if I connect to PC
The device is in this state for about 5h and the top left side of the front camera is a little warm just like the case when its powered on and used(its not hot like when is used extensively)
Device status:
NO Root
NO Custom Recovery
Battery when this happen was ~81%
What can I do to fix this problem.
you can try to remove the battery for a few minutes then reconnect it. there are posts concerning battery removal
in forum. search terms - teardown , remove battery , surgery.
then try odin again. just be sure you have the right firmware or custom recovery ready to go and,
that you've done your reading/research in advanced so you're ready for game-time.
m
Thank you moonbutt74, I was considering that posibility and watched a lot of disassemble videos for my model but this is a problem for me because is still in warranty. I even considered trying to initiate a force reboot like this one here but sadly odin wont detect my device.
As for the battery removing fix that you gave me it would of fixed my problem. Just a few minutes ago I did not experience any heat buildup in the top left part so I plugged in my charger and waited a few seconds and there it was that bloody battery indicator. When I booted into android the battery indicator was 0%. So bottom line, in its state of coma my device drained the entire battery in almost 18h.
Considering this is no phone where you cant remove that easily your battery like in a phone this a fix for the moment. I am looking for a more permanent one, one that will prevent my device going into a coma again.
ahh okay,
in this case i would say put your warranty to work and get it replaced/repaired.
it seems to be your only real option.
m @luciqan
afterthought, if your battery drained to 0,dead that may work the same as a battery pull
charge it at least halfway and see if you pick-up in odin, have your stuff ready to
go just in case
So, after flashing the latest firmware from sammobile for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 with Odin, I am now the not-so-proud owner of a what seems to be unresponsive - working - device.
Let me explain:
I just downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile.
I followed the instructions from sammobile, which basically says normal flash with Odin.
Plugged it in, started Odin, put the file in the right place and started the flash.
Odin does its thing, everything goes well, device is showing me a nice blue dotted bar which is filling up slowly, good.
And then suddenly Odin reports "FAILED" after is was done with /system.
Device has stopped working, blue bar not filling anymore.
I reset Odin with hope to restart the flash, with no result.
The device is not being recognized anymore by USB, and it's now stuck in the "odin mode" screen.
After seeking some advice on IRC I found that the only way to get the power off is to unplug the battery, which is harder that it sounds.
So after a good 30 minutes of carefully prying and making my way around the tablet I managed to get the cover of.
As I'm looking at the naked device and wondering "how the hell do i get this battery out". This is not like a normal phone or laptop or any kind.
I found a couple of little screws, 4 of them, around the battery so I unscrewed these and the battery came 'loose' but was held in place by 2 flat cables which I couldn't remove.
Put them back in, and all of a sudden my tablet's sceen was 'off', but I'm not sure it's really powered off because the powerbutton has no response.
I'm stuck and it the thought of just binning the tablet is frustrating me.
Anybody got any ideas of what this might be and how to fix it?
[edit]
I found out it wasn't powered off, it was just the screen. I could feel the CPU was still emitting heat.
So I unplugged the battery, let it cool down for a couple of minutes, plugged it back in, and now there is nothing.
No screen, no usb recognition, no power.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
You didnt need to take out the battery. Your should have exit download mode by doing power, home, vol down buttons for 30 seconds and it should reboot and you could of tryed again. If that didnt work you could have let it drain. Im not sure about helping with the battery part as i never opened it.
easy fix - check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50412284&postcount=8
no need for draining the battery. tested and it works. happens once to me, use above method and problem solved.
can use my modded version attached, but, please be aware, it's ONLY FOR RESETTING THE STUCK DOWNLOAD MODE !

I tried that, but didn't work. The tablet was/is unresponsive. Draining wasn't an option, battery was just fully charged.

Thanks for this! Am going to try this once my screen works again.
At this point it goes 'on' but the screen doesn't, and there is still no USB recognition so I guess I got a nice expensive paperweight
Hey guys,
Appreciate it if you could spare me some advice on how to proceed.
So I was watching a twitch stream and all of the sudden tablet froze, and the audio froze as well causing a large super high pitch noise, I hard-reset the tablet but instead of resetting it just turned off, I started to browse the forums and found that a combination of (POWER + VOL UP & DOWN + HOME) would reset the tablet,now what this did for me is turn the tablet on but it was stuck in SD CARD Mode, back again to the forums, read that letting it discharge fully and then it will be able to be charged and turned on, that worked tablet was back doing some various tasks no video again and then boom freezes again same symptoms except this time I couldn't get it to go to SD CARD Mode its very finicky after trying at various times in the day I finally got it to work, same process except this time as soon as it turned on I went into recovery factory reset it to stock, worked a bit longer this time only installed chrome, and it froze again (don't think it was chrome) , rinse repeat and I flashed the latest firmware with ODIN worked fine, I've gotten to the home screen ran through the "factory new" set up and it turned off of me again.
I plugged it in let it charge, came up with battery icon 5% 10% ect, then I left it for a while, I came back and I cant even get it to show the battery percentage(tap power) let alone turn on.
I'm fairly sure that eventually I can get it turn back on but from there I don't know what to do.
TL;DR - Tablet Froze, Hard Reset, Froze again - Rinse Repeat, ODIN to latest STOCK firmware, tablet worked for 5 min before turning off again (plugged in), present situation
Any ideas as what to be causing the freezing and how I could remedy it?
Also sometimes when it froze it turned itself off without me hard resetting it.
Thanks its been driving me insane,
Please do not hesitate to ask me to clarify or provide more information so I can help you help me.

I had the loose battery connector problem, but the symptoms do not sound the same as mine. I could get mine to boot up, but the screen would flicker and a few white lines would appear before it would reboot itself. I actually started a ticket with Samsung and got the packaging label but, upon further reading, realized that I was pretty much SOL after tripping knox, and didn't want to risk the chance of getting charged for just sending it in. If it is indeed the loose battery connector, you should be able to remove the back cover yourself and fiddle with it. Ultimately, mine needed re-soldering, and I was able to find a local electronic repair shop to do it for me for cheap.
Good luck!
UPDATE: I've managed to get into SDCARD MODE yet again, except discharging seems to get out of it, but once I plug it back in it doesn't come up charging it just black screen, until I hold some buttons and arrive back at sdcard mode. Good times.
Trying various things to get it to boot..
EDIT: Appreciate the insight Squez, I want to exhaust all the other options before opening it myself, if Knox didn't void the warranty to some degree, opening it up should put the final nail in the coffin.
EDIT2: Good news, sort of, tablet isn't dead! after numerous attempts with charge SDCARD mode, discharge, It finally start to charge properly and I managed to get it to boot, worked for a few hours then I left it to charge, and went to sleep, woke up and wont turn on again, but I am in SDCARD Mode again but need wait for it to discharge from presumably 100% ....
[What do you mean Sd card mode? DOWNLOAD mode?
Also no need to let the battery drain.
Just press VOLUME DOWN(not volume up) and POWER together then hold until it restarts.
This is a hard reset and will ALWAYS work unless the device is hard bricked. It is the equivalent of a battery pull.
I continually see here and there incorrect information regarding key combinations, even in so called guides, this forum is even guilty!
Here is what works on the 10.5lte, as far as I'm aware its the same for all versions, indeed pretty much any Samsung device.
HARD RESET:
VOLUME DOWN - POWER.
Hold until the device restarts.
DOWNLOAD MODE:
HOME - VOLUME DOWN - POWER.
Hold until the device boots.
RECOVERY MODE:
HOME - VOLUME UP - POWER.
Hold until the device boots.

I should of posted a photo earlier but here is one I found on google of same screen: (check attachments)
Except UP KEY and DOWN KEY don't do anything, its just this screen, if you attempt to hard reset ect, it will just reload this screen, hence the discharge, then plug it back in and hope it begins to charge "battery icon appears". I have gotten it to boot like this a few times.

Yeah its strange as.
I'll have a look at that, thanks.
EDIT: It just finished discharging and now I am on the battery screen.. Usually once it charges here I can get it to boot, what I'm curious is what on earth keeps causing it to freeze up, because in download mode and twrp (gone since i flashed stock via odin) it wouldn't freeze at all, only have issues with it once its booted or charging. I installed a logcat earlier hopefully that should shed some light on the situation,
EDIT2: Well another very interesting thing, the official Samsung charger wont charge it, only works if I plug it into pc or use a non-official charger, strange thing is nothing is wrong with the samsung charger or cable since I can charge my phone fully from it. These have to be some of the strangest symptoms.
EDIT3: Only works through USB port on PC for now, non official charger comes with red X on battery once booted. I assume you can work around this once rooted but that's for another time..
EDIT4: Charge through pc to around 2-3%, boot device, plug into official samsung wall charger and it begins to charge properly.
EDIT5: Hooray back to step one, trying get into SDCARD Mode, same thing happened left it overnight and it wont turn on or charge anymore.

i am pretty sure the HOME - VOLUME DOWN - POWER. puts the 10.5 into the sdcard mode.
my tablet is doing very similar to sunb3ar findings.
have had it come back to me once from sdcardmode.. (let if go flat and starting charging then it would start via normal buttons)
it crashed not long after that. it got stuck in sdcard mode again, but this time none of the drain flat, put on charge has worked.. just blank..
fyi- we try to put it in RECOVERY MODE, but it does not work when in this crashed / sdcard mode state
i even disconnected the battery and then plugged back on charge.. nothing..
today i tested the battery volts, 2.8v , for a 3.8v i thought that was ok. i attached my RC lipo multi charger set to 1amp 3.7volt charge, direct to the - + on the battery- got it up to 3.5v, plugged back in, put the charger on- the sdcard mode (most life it has shown in a week).
still not coming up with 'battery' display to say its 'turn-off and being charged'. just the sdcardmode might disappear and return..
i am currently adding mode charge to battery... will try to HARD RESET next.. since i have not tried that combo yet..
HARD RESET:
VOLUME DOWN - POWER.
Hold until the device restarts.
edit: i took it off 'direct' charge, battery at 3.7volts.. then plugged in normal charger, i got a 'battery symbol' but it had the lightening bolt, not a %.. so i unplugged and reconnected to my direct charge to give the battery more volts. i am surprised that the unit seems to think a battery with 3.8volt as it specs seems to not be like with volts not much lower than 3.8.. could be time for a new battery if we can get this thing to restart
Hey guys, if anyone knows what might be causing it, please do tell so!
Here's a bit of info you might need:
I've had my device for about a year now and only ever dropped it from really low heights, which never caused any issues (except for a few breaklines on my screen).
My device has been rooted and I've installed a custom ROM (I can't recall which one exactly, but it never caused any problems and just made things better.
Starting about 6 months after I got the device, it started sometimes lagging a little.
Now just the night before, I plugged in my headphones, put on some music and went to sleep (as I do every night). The phone was not plugged into the charger. Once I woke up, I wanted to take a look at my phone to see the time, but it was just a black screen. I think it probably doesn't have any power left and plug it into the charger. Nothing happens. No icon, no little flashing light; nothing. I plug it into the computer and my computer doesn't recognize my phone to be connected, so it's not my display which is broken.
Now I think the problem must lie in the battery, but I'm not sure, since I can't take the battery out. So here's what I need to know:
1. How can I check if it's actually the battery that's broken?
2. Is it possible to open the phone and take out the battery somehow?
3. Is there a way to fix this? If so, how?
Keep in mind that I don't have warranty on the phone anymore, so I can't just send it somewhere to get it fixed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Let's hope for the best :fingers-crossed:

I had something similar month ago. Please try the following. line by line
Plug in your charger and wait and observe some time (one hour) your phone and check if it is charging somehow. remove the cable.
Long press (maybe up to one minute or more) the power button
Try to press power button and "Volume -" simultaneously again for more than one minute (boot ?)
Try to press power button and "Volume +" simultaneously again for more than one minute (boot ?)
Try the above with plugged in charger
If it will give a life sign you are lucky, if not I have no other idea.

Unbelievable!! I'd already tried to press those buttons for almost a minute, but it didn't work. But I decided to give it another shot and held it for almost double the time this time, and it actually vibrated, showed the penguin and then booted up!! Thank you so much
