Could use some help here. I got an i747 last night, rooted just fine, used triangle away no problem. When attempting to resolve a status 7 error I could not get anything to flash in CWM and now it is sitting on the Samsung logo. I can get it to download mode but that's about it. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.

What did you try to flash? The more detail you give, the easier it'll be to find out.

Mine is an AT&T locked i747 phone which I unlocked in India, but haven't rooted.
I had the same problem as above; I charged it all night as usual, but in the morning it was frozen on the logo splash screen. Tried restarting a few times, but it would again freeze on the same screen. So I removed the battery and let it rest a bit, but the same thing continued. Eventually during the course of the day, it stopped booting and now nothing happens when I restart it, it just wont boot.
When I insert another S3 battery, the flash "flashes" for a second and disappears, but the phone still doesnt turn on. Any idea what could be wrong? Battery is probably not the problem, since a working battery from another phone is not helping.
Any help will be much appreciated

That's really weird. Unfortunately, I don't know much about how to fix it unless it was a custom ROM, sorry that I can't help . I beleive it was in General there was a "No question too noobish" or something of that nature. I had several issues before and OP has pulled through for me, so maybe it's worth a shot. Sorry again

HI
First time here for me.
I was surfing the net on my t989 and the screen went black. I try to restart but the phone vibrates for one second and nothing happens.
I took out the battery and SIM card and put back the battery, push ON button, phone vibrates but do not start.
I try to charge but it vibrates every 5 seconds, but it doesn't start.
The phone is new - one month - just install 9-10 aplications.
Please help. Thanks

try to get it into download mode, then flash a new rom?
if it isnt rooted it's probably just best to take it to tmo
Well this happened to me as well after doing a backup. I called tmobile and my replacement will be here on tuesaday along with a USB jig that i ordered to see if I can't get her to boot into download mode for me.
can the 2 of you that had the black screen happen let us know what rom/kernel you were using when that happened please? just so we could have a heads up of a warning in case it might be rom/kernel related
I was on stock 2.3.6 deodexed whitehawkx version and faux123 006u kernel.
This happened to me and I fixed it by taking out the battery, plugging the phone to the charger, putting in the battery, pushing On button.

T989 Black Screen
I'm the one that opened this tread and I want to respond to T-Mobile Senior Member.
My phone was the way they sent it to me, with unmodified ROM or anything. I just install some apps. It worked fine for one months but suddenly got black screen. Now it doesn't want to start.
What can I do?

So last night I turn off my phone and don't plug the charger in I awake in the a..m. send turn on my phone and it's stuck on the samsung screen after the sprint animation. I pull the battery for a few secs put it back in power up and the same thing. I just went into recovery and flashed back. No problems booting up, that was weird though I did let the phone sit atleast a minute both times. That was the first time I turned the phone off since I got it two weeks ago....One other thing. I noticed yesterday when I got to work at 9a.m. I seen the time on my clock said 4: 27 a.m. and I had to restart my phone to fix it

GSIII Rooted Stock #SPURNATION
Hi all, I'm really hoping someone can help me with this. I'm not sure if the phone is hard bricked as it starts up after a battery pull but shuts down immediately after no matter what mode I try to boot up in. On a normal start up it gets to the splash screen then shuts off and is unresponsive without another battery pull which triggers an automatic reboot. Trying to boot into recovery never works as I never get to the 2nd splash screen before the phone shuts back down and going into download it shuts off as soon as I get andy on the screen. Also in addition when I connect it to my computer it's usually off since I can't start it up and my computer won't recognize it regardless even if I manage to get it to turn on when connected. Any ideas? I haven't flashed anything today and it was working fine, a random reboot in walmart and it was dying then it just died and nothing is working even swapping in the battery from the gfs s3. Help me pls if it helps I was on the tw s4 dream rom and kt 5-31 kernel and used team kernelizers mod build props and all. Help pls guys

Hey man,
Not hard bricked.
Did you try to over clock your device? Did you mess with the kernel settings at all?
When you place the battery in your device does it automatically turn on or do you still have to hold down the power button?

Thank you god tell me you know how to fix it too lol.
Yea I have I use KT's kernel and use presets from team kernelizers, personally I think I know what the issue is I just didn't want to go around tossing blame. I don't think my phone likes the build prop mods included in there tk mod package. It started acting funny after I flashed them, but I figured the phone would settle down after a few cycles. I was actually about to revert them once the phone booted but it never happened. Sorry for long winding it and it turns on autmoatically. Nothing happens when I press the power button, it also shuts off within 2-3 seconds regardless of what mode I try to boot into. Pls help me if you can, I'm hoping I can fix this in the comfort of my home and not take it out for jtag repair.

I've had problems where I've tried to over clock my device and its sent me into a crazy boot loop but I was able to get into the device in between boots and change it back to stock(which obviously you Dont have the luxury of doing) so I'm kind of at a loss. If you put your battery in and the phone automatically boots without you pressing the power button then that might be your cause for the rapid reboots. I suggest you look into getting the power button repaired if that's the case. Or do it yourself. Shouldn't be too expensive. Hopefully someone in the community. Can shed some light on this matter better than I but from where I'm standing that seems to be your only option. I'm sorry I Dont have have a fix for you. Goodluck

It's funny, nothing would work. I went up to the cottage for a week came back down started messing with it and I managed to get it to freeze on the splash screen, my computer would recognize it though so it was a start. I then connected it to the pc and tried to flash stock through odin(obviously wouldn't work because the phone wasn't in download mode) so I tried to boot into dl mode it took a couple tries but it finally stuck. I was then able to flash stock and it's been fine ever since. I just rooted it and installed twrp. I want to flash a rom but the links for the roms I want is down so I'll wait or flash an old version of the rom I got on my sd. Thanks for the response and I'm just glad I got it to work and didn't have to pay the $50 for jtag repair which is what I was about to do lol.

So my phone was probably around 50% and I went to grab some food and when I check the phone wouldn't turn on,I rebooted only for it to be stuck on the samsung boot screen and I tried to reboot again except this time it didn't turn on at all.
I didn't do anything at all during the day and my phone was on stable CM10.3 for the past month with no problems.I went home and tried to charge it but no light showed up when charging with battery in and only a red light shows up when i take the battery out and charger in. I connected in to the pc and it showed a QHSUSB_DLOAD when installing drivers. does this mean my phone is bricked? If so how did it happen if CM10.3 was working fine before?

From my research i believe the problem is that the internal sd gets messed up and gets stuck in read only mode instead of read/write. Thats why it won't boot and you can't flash anything in odin. still working on a solution. I've tried booting into download mode with a jig but still no dice.

I've read through that thread but while it had some good info it is for getting a hardbricked phone into download mode which we can get into. I've tried a few things, reintalled drivers re-downloaded tars, etc. now I have the phone ---!---Computer screen when it boots up. I've google searched around since xda search is down an one thread said to keep trying in Odin.
Edit: aaaaaaaaaand now iim hardbricked......
You can get to download mode? Mine can't power on at all atm.

It used to. I tried calling Sprint (no help) but now it wont boot. I'm trying the sd card method now
i apologize if this has been solved but i am on a very tight time frame as i need this phone for work and cant spend any longer searching. my phone randomly turned off by itself this morning and will not turn back on. it gets to the samsung splash screen and the screen just goes black and the phone wont do anything, its like the screen is stuck off, i have to take the battery out to make it turn do anything at all again. it was stock this morning, never been rooted or anything, i just rooted it about an hour ago and installed twrp and flashed jedi invasion 5 on it in hopes it would help. now it gets past the splash screen and to the initial setup screen but it only stays on it for about 3 seconds before the screen goes black again and i have to take the battery out for it to do anything again. im not an expert by any means but i have flashed note 2's and played with them a bit and know my way arround them for the most part. any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
almost forgot to mention, in download mode it says qualcomm secureboot: enable
not sure if that means anything but i didnt get any errors while flashing or anything

I would make sure you have to correct drivers installed for the phone on your computer and ODIN back to stock. You can give that a try and see if it helps.
I'll check that out when I get home but I'm pretty sure everything is right, it was doing it before I even flashed anything so I think something else is the problem

Faulty battery or power button. You can try ODIN back to stock, not likely it will help.
It's not a battery or power button problem. Before I rooted it if I took the battery out and turned it on again it would turn on fine if I kept the screen from turning off. and the battery was staying charged, and if it wer a power button problem why would it work to turn the phone on but not again after its on?

My vote is a faulty power button. Has been known to happen on the S3. Could be power issues though. Bad battery could be the culprit. If flashing stock does not work see if you can get a battery to test out.

ok so i flashed stock and it fixed it temporarily. after i flashed it it was working great so i decided to root it and flash jedi. so i did this and it still worked great. (at this point i should mention that the sim card in the phone has been deactivated this whole time) so since its working i activate the simcard, restart the phone, and the problem started again. so i took the sim card right out and turned it back on and it works perfectly fine without the sim card in... what do you guys figure? should i try a new sim card? has anyone ever herd of this happening before?
EDIT: tried my other sim card in it and it doesn't work either, so it snot the simcard itself
