So, the phone works, but when it turns on, nothing displays at first, no logo or loading animation. but, once its fully tuned on, everything shows again. now, the real issue... I cant get into recovery mode, or anything to try and get it factory rest or flash new firmware on it to fix the issue, because the screen displays nothing when I'm trying to access recover menus. it just stays black until i disconnect the batter and let it turn back on normally all the way.... tried some research and did the usual black out issues... but nothing.
any help would be great thnx!

I was trying out using a keyboard with a cheap USB OTG cable, and all was good. Then all of the sudden the screen went buggy, where ever other line of pixels was shifted to the left or the right, almost like some sort of corrupted video file. It started to reboot itself, and it got to the black screen with the Google logo and then the screen fuzzed in the same way as before. It then starts to reboot and does the same thing over and over again. I find that I can get to the recovery screen with the scroll arrows. From there, if I tell it to reboot into recovery it goes back into the same Google logo bootloop. I then went back to the original recovery screen and I decide to try out adb to see if it works. Sure enough it does, and I unwisely start flashing a stock 4.2 bootloader image. However, while it is flashing the screen does the same fuzz thing and and stays fuzzed. Then it doesn't respond to anything. I take out the battery, and try to restart and with will not turn on at all, no vibration, no light from the screen, nothing. I tried a unbricking methods from there, and nothing can make it come back alive. Any ideas?

Phone's been slowly giving me more and more issues. Today I was using it fine, turned off the screen, a bit later, tried turning it on and nothing. This has been a common occurrence, about once a day I have to do a battery pull or plug it in to make the screen turn on, then all is normal. Battery pull got it to boot to the splash screen, but then nothing. Plugged it in, and nothing. Left it plugged it in for about an hour, tried again, still nothing. Unplugged and tried powering on, nothing. Pulled the battery again, and could only get to the splash screen. I'm running JB Sourcery, and have the one selected where the apple rots and then it spells out droid. I get through that and then it does nothing else.
Info: just tried again, had to pull the battery, then I could get the google logo to pop up, but that was it.
Info the 2nd: plugged it in for 2 hours, the graphic showed it fully charged. So I tried booting it and again, same response..gets through the boot splash screen, but goes black after. Pressing power button does nothing, doesn't even get the charge graphic to show up.
Info the 3rd: I left it be this time thinking maybe it was just really laggy or something, but after 15 minutes, still nothing. But I can feel a bit of heat as if it is on.
Info the 4th: I can get into bootloader and recovery fine. I was even able to make a backup (only thing I could think to do in there that would take some time and not risk screwing it up more) So it's not a battery issue, seems to be something with the rom.
Please help
Even though the phone is rooted and custom rom, can I take it back to Verizon? I've only had the phone since December. If I could do that, is there any way to get all the pics off of it first?

Silly question, but how would I go about getting that? And can I get it to the phone without the phone being able to boot

Was able to wipe data/cache and re-flash the rom. Seems to be working for now. I think I'll go back to stock (thanks for the link samersh) and see if I'm still having issues.
I tried flashing the Zeus kernel using CWM, but I failed to realize the kernel was for the Verizon S3. When I restarted after flashing, it displayed the Samsung logo for a split second and then went to a black screen. The screen was on, but it only showed black. At this point I passed out, and when I woke up it was still on the black screen. I pulled the battery and tried to restart, and got the same black screen. Then I tried every way I know of (except using a jig) to get into download mode to no avail. Now when I turn it on, it vibrates once, flashes the logo, and then the screen shuts off and is useless. I think there's a solid chance I've ruined it this time, but if anybody has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Put the phone in dl mode. It's possible the screen will be black and you can't actually see it's in dl mode. Plug into your computer. Odin flash a stock Rom.
The fact that it's doing something means it is not completely ruined. It just may be harder to restore to working order.
Also, take a look at this thread

I was playing pokemon go and I got a facebook messenger message, and my phone just crashed and started boot looping at the Galaxy note ii screen. I tried going into the recovery and deleting the cache and factory resetting it, tried flashing it with ODIN, and nothing seems to be fixing it. I've tried flashing it to the stock rom too, but that seemed to make things worse? Now half the time when I try and turn it on it it wont turn on unless I plug it in or remove and put back the battery, when I try charging it when it's off it turns on and I can see the battery screen, but it freezes either when loading or when the animation plays. There's no red light and I'm not even sure it's charging.
I can get to the CWM menu and the recovery menu, I did have the Nandroid backup files but it seems like I mistakenly deleted it, so that's an option. I tried flashing it with different firmwares and it doesn't seem to make a difference. The first time I flash it it usually goes to the T-Mobile splash screen, which plays the little animation and sound but stays at that screen. Any Ideas?
I tried reflashing it another few times and now I actually got into the setup screen and got to the home screen. It charges somewhat normally but it still boot loops when I start it. When I plug the charger in when it's looping it boots fully and I got to the point where I installed an update. Not I'm stuck in a loop on the T-mobile splash
Try a new battery.

Did you try Samsung Kies' emergency recovery option yet?
Hello all!
I just want to make sure my watch actually is toast before I shed my final tears and move on.
Here's the situation. It worked fine up till a few weeks ago, then one night after it had completely died, I went to charge it and it was in a huawei logo boot loop. To be clear, I see the red logo for a few seconds, goes black, and repeat. I never see the android logo or anything like that. Every once in a while I can get it to show the low battery (the sliver battery, not the red X one). I CAN get into fastboot no problem. I tried doing factory reset from fastboot, same thing. I didn't have any custom imgs or anything on it, all stock OTA updates etc. So then I tried flashing probably 10 different images I found around the web including stock boot and recovery, twrp, etc etc (pretty much every img I could find). Nothing changes, as soon as I reboot after flashing, same red logo bootloop.
I'm guessing it's a weird hardware issue, or _maybe_ my last hope was just my charger is bad all of a sudden (getting another one just to see).
Any other thoughts? I did take it all apart, check connections etc, everything looked fine. Put it back together and same behavior.
Thanks for any help!
Update: A new charger did not help. I'm convinced it's something hardware related. I might pick up a few broken ones on ebay and mess with building a full working one. I'll update again if I get something to work.
