Let me try to describe the problem. I have replaced a broken screen in my phone, put it back together without the back cover if that changes anything. When I try to boot, a red led flashes once, twice or three times, LG's logo appears on screen and the phone reboots. It is obviously plugged in. The phone is rooted.
Is is as simple as empty battery or am I ****ed?
EDIT now the logo itself blinks, couple of minutes ago only the LED was blinking.

I'm running a stock EVO and yesterday the phone decided to shut off on me. Right after the screen went blank the phone vibrated five times and the led on the front of the screen began to blink green until the battery was pulled. Now every time I try to boot up the phone it will start up just fine and at exactly 2:14 of awake/on time the phone will freeze, go black and vibrate five times then the flashing green led. I have no idea what is going on with it. Anyone else experience this issue?
I was trying to flash the Lifeless rom back onto my phone, and had Aroma wizard started up, and was checking the options I wanted, when I remembered that absentminded me had forgotten to do something in the OS that I can't remember at the moment. I didn't see a cancel button in Aroma, and since I'm so impulsive, I held down power and volume up to reboot the phone. It nearly booted to the OS, with the capacitive keys lighting up at the bottom, when it suddenly shut off and attempted to reboot (maybe because I was flashing AC!D audio earlier and had checked the build.prop tweaks). It didn't reboot, but seemed BRICKED.
Ok, the actual problem.
It seemed totally hard bricked to me, nothing when I plugged it in to my PC or charger, so I, enraged, walked away and left my Optimus plugged in. When I came back, I saw that the notification light was blinking red, one shade of red brighter than the other. I gained some hope back by...
The FIX
... following the directions on YouTube (look it up, I can't post links) on performing a hard reset by disassembling the phone and disconnecting/reconnecting the battery connector. I, however, had to do a little twist to get my phone to PARTIALLY boot.
When I detached the battery connector from the mainboard,(phone still plugged in) the phone would proceed to bootloop, showing up the unlocked Google screen, etc. (flashed the ZVB Teenybin, that's why the Google screen) until it got to the battery charging icon in the center with the lightning bolt in the center. At this point, I reattached the battery connector and BOOM, the phone rebooted NOT LOOPING , PARTIALLY STILL but with the battery icon animation stacking up.
Unfortunatly, my battery was nearly dead so I then waited for a bit and let it charge up.
I held down the power button + vol up (on my bare phone with the backing taken off) to get it to boot into fastboot, then TWRP to flash the rom. I SUCCESSFULLY flashed the rom (relieved at this point) and I booted FULLY :laugh: . It got me to the Optimizing apps numberhere/biggernumberhere screen. Suddenly, the frickin phone shuts off and the notification light blinks red, but with a delay this time instead of a brighter shade of red. I did what I did before numerous times, but the phone would stay alive less and less.
I let the phone cool off for a bit (Heating issues on the Optimus ), tried charging it again, and I managed to finish optimizing my apps. It loaded up the lock screen for a split second, and then shut off with the LG goodbye animation.... Which is a hell of a lot better than a blinking reset light.
So after it shut off I let it charge...
And I was back!
NOTES:
The video I describe was originally made to resolve some other reset indicator, with alternating blinking capacitive buttons and the notification light, but also helps with the issue I had with solely the notification light blinking.
I don't think that anyone has had this issue since not really anyone is retarded enough to force reboot with Aroma loaded up.. but I decided to type this up just in case.
ok so earlier today my s3 ran out of battery and shut off. I attempted to charge it, but noticed the red indicator light wasn't on. I tried to turn the device on, but all it did was vibrate and show the battery level logo with the circle in the middle as if its computing the battery level, then shuts back off. most of the time it will just vibrate and loop the samsung logo and then shut off again. sometimes it also shows that my battery is nearly fully charged after i left it on the charger while i was in class, but then shuts off. the farthest it has showed anything on start up was the at&t logo with the white background, then it shuts back off. i've tried to boot the phone connected to the charger and took the battery out, that didn't work. tried to take the battery out and leave it for 10 mins and put it back in, that didn't work. although it would vibrate everytime i put the battery in. i also tried to boot the phone in recovery mode. it would say recovery mode booting in blue letters, then it would go to the samsung and galaxy s3 logos, but then shut off again. also tried the download mode boot up, but i just saw the OS warning screen for a second, then it shut off.. i've ran out of ideas on what to do. hoping anyone could provide anymore advice for me. thanks in advance!
I've tried looking up a solution to this but can't find anything anywhere, I've also been trying to fix it all weekend.
Friday night my phone's battery ran out, yeah whatever, I'll just throw it on the charger. Plugged it in, and the screen that normally indicates you should plug your phone should come up. It's an empty battery with a lightning bolt inside of it. A few seconds later, the red "This Build is for Development Purposes Only..." stuff that comes up because of the custom ROM shows up at the bottom of the screen. After a few seconds, the screen turns off. It then repeats this from charge me icon, showing red text, then repeating. I'll be referring to this as Boltlooping.
So the first solution I found was to reset the battery logic by holding vol up/down and power for a few minutes. I rubber banded the buttons down and tried it. Nothing.
Second solution, plugging it in and immediately holding power button hoping it would boot. I tried this 5-6 times. Nothing. I've also attempted booting in to bootloader and recovery from this screen.
Occasionally, however, something that I can't identify or reproduce causes it to go to the normal charging screen. Trying to boot it from here from any battery % puts it back in to a boltloop. I've also tried doing the battery logic reset from this screen, but it doesn't work and puts it back in to bootloop. After trying to do either of these methods and getting back to the normal charging screen, the battery will be back at 1%.
This is as far as I've gotten with troubleshooting. I can get to the normal charging screen, though the battery will die and reset the charge % if unplugged or an attempt to boot is made. Most of its time, however, is spent in this boltloop state. I've tried resetting battery logic, booting in to recovery, booting in to bootloader, and booting normally from both the boltloop and charging states. Nothing. I don't know what to do.
Did you ever find a fix? Same issue here.
Phone can't boot at all, loops on plug in screeen & occasionally "charges"...
