Phone shuts off and wont turn back on - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I've had a CM11 Official Nightly installed on my phone for a couple weeks, and just today my phone started turning off, and when I try to turn it back on it just shows the Samsung logo for a few seconds, then flashes the CM11 logo, then the screen goes black. It does fully boot up when I pull the battery for a few minutes then turn it on again, but it only lasts for a couple minutes before shutting off again. It does the same thing when I try to boot into recovery (TWRP), it shows the Samsung logo with the boot recovery text, then shows the TWRP screen for a second, then shuts off again. Rarely it will boot into recovery. Any idea what the problem is or how to fix it?

I would try installing the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte to see if you can get into recovery and stay in recovery. I used to have twrp on my phone but it gave me problems when flashing ROMs.

Thanks, installed Philz Touch recovery via Odin, and got it to boot into recovery and installed CM11 and it seems to be working so far.

Good news. For future reference, I would load the Samsung Phone Info app from the playstore to confirm the bootloader and modem on your phone as some ROMs may require the latest bootloader and modem to function properly.

[Q] No boot after downgrade from AOKP (ICS) to CM7.1

I was running AOKP for a few days and I decided it wasn't going to work for me. So, I reboot into recovery, wipe everything and restore my CM7.1 backup. The CM 7.1 backup restores just fine. I boot the phone once to make sure it works and it does. I then immediately reboot into recovery so I can install gapps. Booting into recovery hangs for a minute so I pull the battery and try to boot into recovery. This is where the problem arrises. The phone doesn't boot into recovery unless it is plugged into the USB. After selecting the recovery option in the bootloader, the screen goes black, vibrates 4-5 times and the green LED flashes. Also, the phone will no longer boot into the CM7.1 backup. If I restart the phone, the white HTC EVO screen displays and then the same vibrate/screen/LED issue happens again.
Can someone point me to the right direction for fixing this?

[Q] Galaxy S3 randomly restarted and got stuck at CWM boot screen. Is it bricked?

I have a Sprint GS3 with CWM 10.2.1 nightly that was installed
I was at work today when I noticed the phone restart and come back up to the boot screen, it stayed there for a good 5 minutes so I tried restarting it, same thing happened
I am able to get into download mode and CWM recovery mode
I put the phone in download mode and flashed the stock ROM via Odin. Odin showed PASS, but the phone had multiple errors in a wall of red text. Most were ERROR mounting
Now it boots into the Samsung logo and freezes there. Is there a way to fix this?

GT-I9190 stuck on TWRP Slash Screen and Unable to re-install

Hello guys,
Thank you for reading, any help is appreciated.
My device was running the latest release of CM13 (cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NK-serrano3gxx) and TWRP v3.0.2-1
So yesterday afternoon my phone randomly shutdown and I was unable to get it turned back on until this morning.
However though when i did manage to get it powered on after hours of failed tries it was stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
I've since tried to access the TWRP Recovery (Pwr + Vol Up + Home) but it sticks on the TWRP slash screen and then attempts to reboot normally (which as i said stick on the Samsung boot screen).
I also tried re-installing TWRP via Odin and it appears to be installing properly and successfully but when i attempt to access TWRP it again sticks on the splash screen,
I've also tried installing CWM Record via odin and that also appears to be installing properly and successfully but when I attempt to access the recovery I am yet again greeted with the TWRP Slash Screen which has lead me to believe something is going wrong.
Any ideas or suggestions as to what may be going on here ?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
Hey again guys,
I have tried installing stock rom via Odin, It says Pass but nothing at all seems to be changing.
I'm beginning to think Odin may really not be working at all or something is wrong with the phone
Update: I tried flashing TWRP recovery via Heimdall and it appears to have completed successfully saying "RECOVERY upload successful" but when i reboot immediately after into Recovery mode it still sticks at the TWRP 3.0.0-0 Splash Screen then attempts to reboot normally which as mentioned earlier also sticks on samsung slash screen

s3 t999l unable to flash any rom with twrp 3.1.1-0

I did a search and maybe not correctly but I did not find my particular problem.
So I have stock root66 rom flashed with odin 3.11 on my phone goes into boot loop.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1-0 with odin and I can go into recovery but as soon as I select any rom (OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1427-d2tmo) it starts to do something and just reboots the phone and back into the boot loop. I reboots to fast for me to even figure out what it says on the phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Battery is charged to 80%+
edit: tried CWM same symptoms reboots right away. Only thing I can flash with is odin otherwise with any recovery reboots right away. I was able to flash a modem with twrp and that works but no roms work.
update 2: I finally was able to get root66 installed. Gets to the set up part. Once I finish the setup the phone turned off on its own. It never turns on on its own so leads me to believe the power button isnot stuck but why does it turn off on its own? I turned back on and goes into bootloop.
The power button may be stuck in the "pressed" position.
Have you tried TWRP 2.87? You're sure you are flashing the correct TWRP version for the phone?

Thanks for the reply. I have tried 6.0.1.2_CWM_Touch-recovery-image & twrp-3.0.2-0-d2tmo.img but not 2.87.
However, as I stated above I was able to flash a modem but just not flash any roms which is weird.
If the power button pressed and the phone reboots when i pull the battery and put back in wouldn't the phone turn back on? I'm just finding it odd the phone keeps rebooting but when I pull the battery and put back in it doesnt turn on automatically.
update: So 2.8.6 twrp worked which is odd installing as we speak phone has not rebooted yet so lets see how it does once rom is flashed. I did odin root66 and after that installed it kept rebooting so fingers crossed this works. Using OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1427-d2tmo hopefully this works
so after the flash seems to just back to the bootloop. I'm still not convinced my power button is stuck since it doesnt auto turn on and during the whole process of flashing it didnt reboot on its own only after the flash. Any ideas?
Literally gets to the samsung galaxy siii logo and reboots right away.
Try flashing the latest stock ROM, not a rooted stock ROM.

same bootloop. Gets to the tmobile animation and then reboots.
It's possible that the memory chip is damaged. You could take it to a repair shop and have it flashed via jtag.
