[q] help me please serious problem

So I've had a my Galaxy Nexus for some time now. I'm rooted and I was running AOKP with absolutely no issues what so ever.
Then out of the blue my phone wouldn't charge when it was turned on, so I had to power down to charge. When this finally stopped and I actually COULD charge while powered on, when I would disconnect from the wall outlet the phone would continue to display the bolt icon and say charging - an issue which I could never solve.
Then the next day the Power Button stopped responding all together and the screen would not power down because I have settings configured to keep the screen on whilst charging, and as the phone was under the illusion it was still charging this meant the screen would never turn off. Other than those two issues the rest of the phone worked perfectly.
But eventually constant powering of the screen whilst ACTUALLY off charge killed the battery. So, obviously, I plugged it in. And all I get is the white charging indicator of the large battery and the bolt inside, I cannot boot beyond this because of the irresponsive power button but the animation shows me that the battery is charging and I imagine it is full at this point.
Reading through some forums online for the past few days a reoccurring suggestion appeared to be unscrewing the back and checking the connections to the power button - but upon trying this I managed to get out 5 of the 6 screws and unfortunately failed and rounded the final one off.
I really need help you guys. My phone is my life and on it at the moment are lots of important files. Any suggestions are appreciated greatly.
I'm only worried to send the phone to either Samsung or my Carrier because it is rooted and because of the rounded screw, surely my warranty is voided now? and I can't unroot because the power button is dysfunctional. The only good thing I think is that the fact I see the charging indicator tells me that the phone is not bricked, but how can I get onto it without a power button?
I only need the phone booted up so that I can restore my data and at least attempt to unroot. HELP PLEASE HELP!

Try to boot into recovery by pressing the power bottom and both volume up and down. And try a fresh install of the ROM also try not using the keep screen on feature as it uses a lot of battery and takes longer to fully charge. And you can burn the screen with that feature turn on.

My power button isn't responding. All that happens is when I connect it to power I see the white charging indicator - tells me its not bricked - however, a couple of times I've help the power button trying to boot it and it boots into ODIN MODE but then where its says start and points to the power button, I press it and nothing. It's totally irresponsive about 99.99999% of the time:/

When ever you start having issues with a ROM it could be an app or a setting in the ROM features causing issues a fresh install can sometimes fix it. I would keep trying to see if you can boot in to the recovery and flash something. With one screw being mess with I can see Verizon charging you for a replacement unless you have the extended warranty. Which is still 100 $ to use. Good luck.

That would mean booting would it not? I have no power button:/ I just need the phone to boot, that's all. I can get some vital data from it then and send it back

If you can get it to be recognized by USB
adb reboot bootloader
From there follow the guides to get back to stock via fastboot once you get back stock
fastboot oem lock.
Then try warranty if your problems still exist.

Does the phone not have to be booted to be recognised by USB? Plus I'm running a Mac, I know you guys hate Macs

I actually have the same problem. Running the blackice ROM. I absolutely love the ROM but i have to keep switching chargers and/or hoping it will charge. Had to take battery completely out and put it on one of those wall things. Have done a compete wipe and reinstall but didn't change. It's not charging when plugged in but it's not charging either. Just goes from discharging to not charging in the about phone stats..

The phone is charging, I just can't get it to boot due to the power button not working. I just mentioned all of the symptoms for the sake of being detailed to get the best help

Before all that was is just randomly powering off and rebooting? Mine did that yesterday a few times before the charge issue. at the moment mine says "charging usb" earlier it was "not charging" and "charging ac" an using the original cord. I'm asking because now I'm all worried I'm going to be having same issue as you. like symptoms ya know? I hope not because i have FINALLY found a ROM i love. And I'm a serial flasher lol

Yeah, on the AOKP it would do random quick reboots, going straight from the Pink AOKP Unicorn then back into the OS. Quite annoying

If it boots into ODIN mode and you're _just_ pressing power, that means you probably have an error where it thinks your VOLUME DOWN button is being pressed, not the power button.
You have to do a battery pull to get out of ODIN mode, btw.
Let us know: what happens if you boot into ODIN, pull the battery, and then just boot up pressing power....

No one else sees the trend ?
All of the people having this issue are running AOKP (or a kang of it(blackice)).
Funny how that works eh ?

I've never been able to replicate this boot, and holding VOLUME DOWN doesn't do anything either

[Q] AT&T S3 won't boot!

I had my phone rooted and on cyanogenmod nightlies. I woke up this morning and my phone won't turn on. When I do a battery pull it turns on, vibrates and goes dead, every time. I have tried to go into recovery and download mode and every time it vibrates will stay on for a second then dies. I have no idea what to do and I am freaking out!

Have you tried a jig?

I do not have one and do not know where to get one. If there is any way to get one fast that would be great because I don't have a backup phone. I am in college and my stuff is at home.

You need three 100k ohm resistors. Tie them in series. You will need to put them on pins 4 and 5 of the usb port of your phone. I don't know if you will need to hold down any buttons. I've never used mine on my S3, but heard that they work. You can search the forums. Once in DL mode, Odin away

Not turning on

After using my phone for about 2 hours I stuck it in my pocket for as I was about to go into a meeting. After the meeting I pulled my phone out and it turned on (thought it was strange because I never turned it off) and I began to use it. Stuck it back in my pocket and after a couple minutes I pulled it out again to call someone but the phone was off again! I tried turning it back on and it just keeps going to either the samsung boot logo or when its plugged in it goes to the battery logo. It only stays on either on for no more than 2 seconds. So used my friends phone to test if it was my battery that was broken on his s3. After swapping battery my phone still didn't turn on and with my battery in his phone it booted right up and even was up to 81% battery life!
My phone is rooted and its running just a stock rom from sammobile.
I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions besides calling tmobile? I do not have insurance and I bought it using my uncles contract since he didnt want another phone.
Thank you

Can you get into recovery? While the phone's off hold Volume Up+Home button+Power button and see if it goes into recovery.

Galaxy S3 suddenly died

Hello Guys!
Yesterday my phone was low on battery after i talked to someone. I forgot to put it on charge and just left it there. I picked it up later and it wasn't turning on so I thought the battery is dead so i plugged in the charger but the red light didnt turn on. I put in my second battery which is charged but the phone is still not turning on. I tried download mode but nothing works. I plugged it into PC but the pc doesn't recognize it because its dead.
My phone fell before and digitizer broke which i replaced.
I was wondering what happened and what I can do.
My phone:
Galaxy S3 T-mobile SGH-T999 rooted running latest dandroid I've had it for 1 year and 4 months.

You can try the debrick thread.. But first try to just leave it plugged in for at least 15 minutes to see if there's still no signs of life

When i leave it on the charger the phone gets hot so the battery is charging but no light.

Is it seen in device manager? If it says QHSUSB_DLOAD you are hard bricked.

Note II Not starting up and not charging

Hey guys it has been a while since i used my Note 2, i had custom cyanogen rom v12 stable running it..
The phone has been off for a month.. i wanted to use it again so at first it wouldn't start, figured it would be battery ran out so plugged it for charge yet not battery symbol/logo of charging came out as it used to do.. i let it for about half an hour plugged in and tried to turn it on yet nothing happened.
i also tried download mode and recovery yet also not booting into them.
My brother has a functioning Note 2 so i thought maybe the issue is battery wise, so i switched batteries between both phones,
[the battery that was originally in my phone now in the functioning other phone... AND IT CHARGED NORMALLY]
[the battery taken from the other phone and put it into mine didn't charge!!!]
What's the problem with my phone?? how can it brick by itself after just leaving it turned off for a month.
I hope i can find a solution for it
Regards

Are you using the original Samsung cable and charger with the phone?

yeah the official cable.
I don't know why the phone failed on its own

Maybe try a 2.0 amp charger? Was the phone exposed to moisture?

Does the phone actually function properly now that the battery is charged? You could try disassembling the phone and removing the charging port and cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol and baking just the port on a cooking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. This fixed my Note II when it wouldn't charge after I dropped it in water

I also have a similar problem. I was on dn4 rom when this started my phone didn't even alow me to flash a rom so I used Odin aand failed the first time and thankfuly it worked the 2nd time. Now the phone is better than before but if I unplug it turns off and tries to reboot but stays on the note 2 logo and also if the battery is on 82% and it reboots it can jump all the way to 4%.

Problem is that the phone was left in my closet untouched for a whole month, i changed the battery and was sure it was 100% charged...
[no note 2 logo , no nothing] .. the phone is black and doesn't turn on
Its not a battery issue more than i think its the faulty rom that ruined it

how did odin recognized your phone when it can't turn on?

I bet the display backlight failed or burnt out.

The phone could only go into download mode. Also if I try to turn it on, it would only show the note 2 logo and won't go any further. Yesterday I tried an aftermarket battery with my phone and it was able to boot past the note 2 logo.

No that's not the case, samsung said that if a display backlight dies, the phone still vibrates when you turn it on... that's what tells if the screen display is burnt out or not
