When I plug my phone into my a charger and it is charging my phone gets stuck into a bootloop where I can't turn it off nor turn it on. It wont even go to the Samsung logo, it just is black and keeps turning on/off. Only way I have to get around this is by unplugging, pulling battery, reboot recovery, plug back in, then I can reboot to system. Any ideas on a solution to this?

Don't try to power it on while plugged in. Ain't much else to suggest there. I find doing the button combo for download mode then pressing vol-dn at the warning screen works too. This is the normal it's not a bootloop. The way these charge w/ the power off is strange.

What recovery and rom are you using? This is not a normal behavior. It doesn't happen on my phone using Stock rom/TWRP recovery.

That's weird as I'm on my 5th s3 since 6-21 and this has been normal behavior on every one regardless of rom. The S2 did the same stupid shiit. Its almost impossible to turn these on while plugged in and shut off.

I usually use freeg3 from Clark, but I flash about every ROM when they are updated to try it out; I use TWRP to flash them all. My phone is infected with anthrax, but It was before and after it. I even tried flashing the stock .tar from odin :/
When the screen is black, simply hold the power button in until you see the Samsung logo.

I just confirmed again that my phone doesn't do that. With the phone on, I plugged into the charger. Power off, wait until the green battery icon appears. Hold power button, phone boots normally.
I'd guess somewhere along the way you acquired a wonky bootloader. You could probably try just replacing the bootloader, I know there is a way to do that but I'm not sure how. Probably someone else could quote the procedure off the top of their head. If not, I would guess a full odin to stock would fix it also.
My phone does this too. Sometimes it shows a charging battery, sometimes it vibrates, and sometimes I even see the Samsung logo, but it always refuses to turn on while it is plugged up.
My phone doesn't do this. It looks to be a hit or miss on if your phone will do it.

Or it could have to do with a particular flash that has corrupted the boot loader. People need to be clear what roms they are on, and if they have ever tried to go back to FULL stock through Odin to fix this. Until they have reflashed the Stock Bootloader, there is no way to know what's going on.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if my phone is dead. It was running fine this morning, Task & Ktoonsez' AOKP with Ktoonsez kernel. However, I tried to unlock it a little while ago and it wouldn't go on. It boots to the splash screen, both normally and going into recovery, but it doesn't last long enough to go into recovery or boot normally. I try to boot into download mode and it boots, but the phone turns off after a few seconds.
I tried to flash back to stock in Odin, but the phone doesn't stay in download mode long enough for the flash to finish.
I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Pretty sure if it was bricked it wouldn't boot into download mode at all. It sounds like it is losing power or something. The only thing I can think of is maybe your battery is bad. Download mode can run off of USB power if you remove the battery after booting into it. Maybe plug your phone in and boot into download mode, then take your battery out before it shuts off and see if it stays on.

No dice. It just did the same thing it's been doing. I went into download, popped the battery, it stayed in download for a few seconds, and then powered off.
Could it be a faulty power button? The phone is constantly vibrating by itself and if the power button was messed up it could be causing the phone to leave download mode.

As far as I can tell pressing or holding the power button in download mode will only restart it, but won't shut it off. Also it takes about 10 seconds. I don't think it's your power button.

Ah, okay.
In that case, though, I have no clue what's causing the problem here. At this point the only thing I can do is enter download mode for a few seconds, but I can't get it to be enough time to flash a ROM in Odin.

Might be a dumb question... Is your battery charged? I'd plug it in for a while off and see if the battery logo comes up and than try putting it in recovery or download.

I tried that too. It's been plugged in for a while and the same thing happens. It just stays in download mode for a few seconds and then turns off. Also, I tried flashing back to stock in Odin but it failed because the phone turned off before the flash could finish. Now the phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Recovery mode in Kies and try again."
So it's basically stuck in download mode cause of a corrupted flash. If I could get the phone to stay in download mode, I could flash it back to stock with Odin, but it's not giving me enough time at this point.
I'm running into the same problem currently, I was wondering if you were able to find a solution. Same ROM same Kernel. I've been using my current version of the ROM since October and haven't flashed anything recently, It just died on me last nigth and now I'm experiencing what you are as well. I was able to turn on the phone somehow last night but it stayed on for couple of mins and turned off again. At the time I had 60% charge.
Thanks
Unfortunately not. Sent my phone back to AT&T and they honored the warranty (despite it being very clear that I was rooted and on custom software).

Thanks. I got the phone when it launched so it's been over a year hence I'm well over the one year manufacturer warranty. Doubt they'll honor it for me =/.
Bad news, It's not about software, it's a hardware issue.
I had that issue with a Sprint S3,
The power button switch is stuck pressed all the time, you can try to hit it a little and maybe it pops out but the issue is gonna still there.
If you remove and insert the battery does it vibrates and tries to turn on without pressing the power button?

yup I just realized it was the power button issue. I managed to fix the problem[kind of], i kept trying to get into download mode while connected to AC Adapter with official charging cables. And it stayed in download mode long enough for me to go back to stock ROM. I'm just trying to avoid hitting the power button as much as possible because every time I do something goes crazy and phone turns off.
I'm gonna try and go to AT&T store tomorrow to see if they can do anything about this.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.
You're welcome. Good luck dude :thumbup:

I have the same problem. I've tried to install quickly the twrp. But is not time enough
My problem was the battery. After charge a lot, all thing works fine.
Hello everyone,
So I have my about a year old sgh-i710 and I've been running the pacman rom on it, anyway, for the last few months it would just randomly reset, and now it won't even turn on unless I repeatedly press the power button, which only puts the phone in "safe mode" normal mode. I cannot get ito recovery or download and the second I stop pressing the power it shuts off; additionally, the phone thinks it has 0% battery although the hardware light says it's fully charged. Is this a brick? And if so, what can I do about it? Thanks in advance.
Do a quick search for 'power button failure' and see how this compares.

So the way I fixed this was, I repeatedly hit the power button while forcing the phone into download mode, then reflashing twrp and then reflashing a recovery from an older stable back up. While in twrp, I also had to repeatedly press the power button. Also, I cannot use my previous battery and am now using an extended battery. With all this my phone has been restored to its previously working state.
Thanks to anyone who has posted in here.
Hello Everyone!
First of all, let me say that i'm desperately in need of help with my phone. Here's what happened to it so everyone knows.
My Phone was bought in UAE and was given to me, i live in the Philippines and it was working fine, i can use it on everyday tasks Until, a few days ago my phone performed updates (auto updates) which made it froze, i tried to press and hold the power button but it doesn't turn off. I removed the battery and restarted my phone then all i get is the Boot screen. I went to recovery mode to perform a wipe/factory reset. it returned with a lot of errors about files missing, etc etc...
At that point i thought that my phone might have been updating the OS when it froze so i DLed a stock firmware because i can still go to download mode.
After a day (crappy internet + limited download speed from sammobile) i finished the firmware download then tried going to download mode on my phone but now, my phone doesnt turn on at all. when i press and hold power+down vol+home nothing happens. i tried going back to recovery mode and still nothing happens. Even if i just press the power key nothing happens at all. I tried charging the phone but its not charging as well, The Battery Icon is not showing on the screen anymore but after minutes f charging i can feel my phone getting warmer.
Anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? i do not believe that the battery died because it was working just a day before.
Any help and TIPS would greatly help.
again: I cannot go to download/recovery mode nor go to the boot screen.
Hello there,
Try to connect your phone to PC and press power button / vol / home button simultaneously, if PC still recognize your phone, then you still got chance to recover it using Octoplus software?
I wanted to root my Note10+.
It is a Note10+ SM-N975F. It is not locked to any carrier.
I enabled dev options, unlocked OEM, booted into download mode, and unlocked the bootloader. This was apparently successful.
I then tried to use Odin to flash stock rom. Odin fails at "system.img". I tried to flash with Chimera Tool. Chimera also fails at "system.img". I tried different stock roms (older versions etc.), the error perists. I tried on a different computer, the error persists.
So I decided to flash a patched TWRP, then I was gonna flash ROM throught TWRP.
I flashed TWRP and that leads me to now. My phone is effectively dead:
If I plug it in or turn it on, it boots to the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen, it will tell me to press power to confirm that I understand that the phone's security has been bypassed/non-official software is installed. Then it will hang forever on the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen.
There doesn't seem to be anyway to turn it off other than letting the battery drain, but even with the battery drained, if I plug it in, it will just boot to the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen.
If I hold power + volume down, it will reset back into the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen.
Whether it's on or off, power + volume up appears to do nothing
Any ideas? If I can get into download/recovery mode it should be fixable... But I can't even get there at this point!
Try different Odin.
Holding the power button for more than 10 seconds should always shut down.
Im happy to help if you are struggling?
Had the same bootloop symptoms, fixed!
i had the same bootloop when trying to update to beta android 10, let your phone drain completely, hold volume up and down at the same time, connect a usb cable and it should turn on to a download mode screen, flash latest rom (BL+AP+CSC+CP) and you re all set
Yep - solved in line with the above:
I let it it drain, then held vol up and down and plugged into computer - got into download mode recognised by Odin!
