[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?

Help! Boot screen shut off

I was juz booting into recovery to do a data wipe. Then, as i reboot the system the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite" logo appears then it justs shuts off after a few seconds.What in the world happened? Then i tried again and again to no avail. Then all of the sudden, the recovery screen popped out for no reason, I then reboot the device but the same thing repeated itself. What happened?
Edit: Nevermind got onto download mode and reflashed the stock firmware

Phone shuts off and wont turn back on

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.

Need help troubleshooting this issue

Firstly thanks for taking the time to view this and helping me out.
Yesterday I was out and my Galaxy s4 mini l9190 was on and charging using a power bank, checked the battery status a couple hours after and the phone was switched off. I switched it back on and was working fine till I restarted it the phone got stuck on the boot logo (Samsung logo). I tried booting into recovery (twrp) and it got stuck on the boot logo for the recovery as well. When i reached home I tried using Odin to narrow my issues but it got stuck on initializing status.
Currently when I try to switch my phone on it vibrates and nothing shows up, same goes with trying to boot into recovery, nothing shows up just a single vibrate. Only thing works is Download Mode.
Recovery: TWRP
OS: CM 13
Things to consider:
1) Connecting a wall outlet to charge doesn't show the charging status.
2) Shows up on Odin.
3) Battery was supposed to change because I had draining issues.
I Tried:
1) Holding down power button for 30 seconds with no battery in place.
2) Charging it (no charging status showing)
Can anyone help me?

S4 Mini stuck on Samsung Logo

Hello,
I installed LineageOS 14.1 on my S4 Mini about 2 weeks ago and it was working normally, but today when I went turn on it, after it started normal, it caught and shutdown, now when I try turn on again it does not leave the Samsung Logo and if it starts in Recovery Mode it does not leave the TWRP Logo.

I have the same problem. While charging over night I realized that somehow my phone turns off. This morning I saw it got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini logo. After trying several times to turn it off and on I tried it with the recovery mode. It worked in the beginning. I tried to avoid wiping out the data. It didnt work at all. Even not wiping out somehow. It showed me some error messages.
Now it itsnt even going into recovery mode and it stays in this TWRP logo (version 3.0.2-1).
I also tried to flash different TWRP ROMs with Odin without success. It always showed the same logo again and again.
My LineageOS 14.1 was always stable
