I have a Galaxy Note II with a striaghttalk SIM in it, and i was just browsing the web, put it back in my pocket, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt turn on.
I tried replacing the battery, doing a hard reset, charging it, connecting it to a computer, but it wont even show the start up screen.
I bought this seven months ago from Newegg, but I rooted it so I probably dont have the warranty. Does anyone know how long/much it would take to fix this? Also, has anyone had similar problems?
Thanks in advance
Can you access your recovery?

Nope. Nothing will even turn on the screen to the samsung screen or the recovery screen.
The computer doesnt even recognize it

This might be the Sudden Death Syndrome everyone is talking about.
Can you go into Download Mode?? Vol- + HomeButton + PowerButton
If Download Mode works you can Flash stock rom with Odin

Any thoughts here, so far have come up with nothing. I was running odin trying to update and got interupted partially through the process. I'm able to boot the phone on, however it quickly flashes the Samsung screen then proceeds to the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen where it hangs. I can't boot into recovery, I can't boot into download mode. All I can do is power the phone on and get stuck on this screen. It hangs there until I pull the battery. I've tried every combination possible to boot into recovery & download mode to no avail. If I plug the phone into my computer I can't get it to be recognized since its stuck on this screen. I don't think it's bricked since i'm able to power on, just stuck.
Any thoughts?
If you can still turn it on you can definitely get to download mode. Make sure you're doing the combo right..

Thanks for the quick reply, I like your confidence although I'm still skeptical. I do think I've tried all of the combos to get into download mode but I'm still not getting past the Samsung GS3 screen. Can you tell me which is the "right" combo?
Thanks

I've seen a borked recovery but never seen a borked download mode unless the phone was bricked which isn't the case here since it still powers on. The combo is vol-down+home+power then volume up at the warning screen

That combo is not working. No matter how long/short I hold it or how long/short I wait after the battery pull it still goes straight to the GS3 Logo and hangs forever. I think its bricked. Maybe I need to try a usb jig...

Well I'm sure it's not bricked but this is the first time I've heard a jig mentioned and I don't wanna pull my hair out cuz of a stupid comment. A jig would definitely do the trick here. I assume you don't have one so a word of advice : use Ebay. And buy from someone in the states. Its more than worth the few extra bucks.
I agree that your phone is more than likely not bricked like you may think. You need to hold down the 3 key combo until the screen actually powers on and then let them go. It takes a good 5-7 seconds after the phone vibrates before the screen powers on and then let them go. It should go into download mode and if you still can't get it then sometimes having someone else try it is all it takes.... but most definetly your phone is not hard bricked if it powers on.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. At this point I'm going to have to send it in to mobiltech to have them hopefully revive it using their JTAG services.
I had this problem today.....
After much gnashing of teeth and swearing and being unable to use the generic android recovery due to removing my power button (don't ask) I flashed CWM with odin then used Android Toolkit to restart into recovery, wiped the cache, rebooted and Bob's your Mother's brother everything is rosy in the garden again................:laugh:

My phone worked perfectly fine for months until today. My cannot boot. When I turn it on it goes to the galaxy s3 screen before turning off. I have tried taking the battery out, sim, you name it and I still get the same result. Does anyone have any tips for me? Thank you

If it also happens in download and recovery mode, power button might be stuck. That or hardware failure.

I cant even get that far into the phone =/
But I think something must be loose in the phone. I got it to boot up but it was very jumpy and hard to get off the unlock screen. Should I try to open it up and check?
Good way to tell if it's a power button issue is to remove the battery, then put it back in and wait a min. If it tries to turn on by itself, the button is your problem.
If it doesn't, it could still be the button though. It won't rule it out but is an easy way to confirm it most of the time.
What do you mean by its jumpy and hard to unlock?

I was working out at the gym earlier today and when I wanted to take my phone out to check messages, my phone just shut off all of a sudden and wouldn't turn back on. I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in and it doesn't turn on when I push the power button. Also, sometimes, the phone would buzz and show the samsung logo and the cm logo, but then the screen would turn black again. I can't go into recovery mode either. When I got home and tried to charge it, it never charged either. It just did the same thing and buzzed and then show the samsung and cm logo and then the screen would go black again. At first, I was thinking it might have bricked, but seeing as how I never did any firmware changes to the phone, it shouldn't have bricked. I only opened the phone to check the time. Do you guys think it's the phones problem? Or is there any way to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated!
Any luck with download mode?

No, I can't seem to get into download or recovery mode.
DO you have a USB jig?
Another battery?

You are holding the power,vol up and home button at same time till the samsung logo flashes right?
Never mind guys. I took it to the repair shop and the guy said that it was my power button chip that was malfunctioning. He replaced the chip and it worked again. Thanks for the feedback though. Really appreciate it.
My Samsung Galaxy S4 (rooted with CM, but stock otherwise) will not power on at all after trying to update it via Kies. It got stuck on the screen where it shows the green Android guy, with "Do not turn off the target" for well over an hour. I had to pull the battery to get it to get off of that screen. When I went to power it back up, it does nothing. Tried every combination of buttons that I could think of, but the phone will not respond.
Is it bricked? Please help!

Sounds pretty bricked. If you can't power it on at all, even to recovery or download mode, I'm not sure what you could possibly do to fix it. Nothing that interface with the phone to fix it if the phone can't power on.

Crap. I guess I'm going to have to head over to T-Mobile to see if I can get a warranty replacement. I think it's good until May.
Edit: T-Mobile Rep thinks that it's a hardware failure of some sort, so they're sending me a "new" S4 overnight. At least I'll be able to get 4.4 without too much trouble now.
Phone:
Samsung Epic Touch 4G
SPH-D710
Problem:
Pushing power button turns on blue led light and nothing on screen.
Holding down button combinations for recovery and download does nothing.
Device not recognized when plugged in to PC. (Samsung USB drivers installed)
Odin 3.10 does not recognize the device.
I could care less about the phone if It cant be saved anymore...
Is there a way to extract files from the internal storage?
Thank you

Unless your PC is able to "see" the phone, you will not be able to access your internal storage. Was the device in any water? Dropped? Ran over by a herd of elephants? Also have you tried using different USB cables?

No, it's a "blue light of death"... Permanent hard-brick, unfortunately
Edit: I forgot about JTAG... That might still be an option [emoji106]

hey guys thanks!!!
Im not exactly sure what happened. I had it plugged in charging and then it restarted while playing music.
After aout an hour.... I checked and saw that it was still stuck on the boot screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy S II"
I held the power button to power it off but it didnt work,
I pulled out the battery instead.
And thats pretty much what happened.
Is the phone completely dead?
Im not sure what JTAG is.... Im gonna google that!
Is that something I could do myself? (Noob)
