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 dropped my S3 yesterday from a height of maybe 8 inches. It froze, so I yanked the battery. Initally it got to my spash screen (running liquid smooth 2.9) but froze again. Turned it back on and it only got the boot logo. I tried recovery mode, but it turned off while loading the logo, same with download mode.
When I plug it into a charger without the battery in, it vibrates and the notification light turns red for a second and it dies (doesn't show anything on screen)
Also, it it supposed to turn on as soon as I insert the battery?
I opened it up to see if something was lose and I saw that one of the ribbon cables looked a little weird- is it messed up?
I'm at a loss for what to do
Thanks!
Hello,
I am having an issue with my S 3. It is not booting up as it should. The model is SGH-1747M.
I have tried the following and have had the following results:
1) The phone is non-responsive when attempting to power it on with the power button.
2) If I remove the battery, with the phone not plugged in, and then put the battery back in, the phone begins to power on by itself. It vibrates once and then loads to the Samsung screen and then goes off.
3) If I plug the phone in without the battery, the phone vibrates once and the red charging light comes on but then goes off after a couple seconds.
4) If I plug the phone in without the battery, and then insert the battery as soon as the red light comes on, the charging screen comes on but then the phone goes off after a couple seconds.
5) If I put the battery in with the phone unplugged and hold Volume Down, Power and the Home Button, the phone boots to the screen where you can push up on volume to flash new firmware. If I stay on this screen without pressing anything, the phone turns off after a couple seconds. If I push up on the power button, it goes to the screen with the green android man but then turns off after a couple seconds.
6) If I put the battery in with the phone unplugged and hole Volume Up, Power and Home and then release them on the Samsung screen, blue writing pops up in the top left corner (I couldn’t read quick enough what it says) while still on the Samsung screen and then it loads to a screen saying Samsung Galaxy S III and then the phone turns off.
These problems started when I attempted to connect my phone to my laptop to transfer songs over to it. I connected the phone and the battery was charging, but it wasn’t showing up as connected on my laptop. So, I turned the phone off to restart it but when I went to turn it back on, these issues started.
The phone was rooted and has been for the last 7 months without any changes to the firmware or updates to the firmware in that time period and has not encountered any problems prior. I’m not sure what firmware the phone was on prior to this.
If anyone could offer any assistance with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I'm no expert, but it looks like a faulty/stuck power button. It's normal for the phone not to completely boot up when it is powered off and then plugged in to USB. But it is not normal for the phone to reboot itself when in recovery or in Android. That's why I think the power switch might be the cause.
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"...

LG G3 D855 (rooted, installed twrp recovery, was using Fulmics rom)
While i was normally speaking on phone it suddenly turns off. It wont turn back on, only LG logo shows and after that it just stops (black screen, wont recognize charger). I cannot access to twrp recovery because phone turns of before i could get to the recovery.
I have tried to pull out battery and back in and noting happens all the same. Also i have tried to charge phone after putting battery back in the phone, but it charges for few seconds and again same no red light, black screen and wont turn on.
I have another LG G3 and i have tried another battery but noting it is same. Battery form the phone that dont work, work in another LG G3, so it is not battery problem.
I have tried to connect phone to PC and i can hear sound of plugged device, but on the phone is all black no sign of turning on, so i can not access to my files on phone.

And also tried tutorials like this :
1. Take out the battery
2. WITH THE BATTERY OUT OF THE PHONE AND NOT PLUGGED IN, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
What this does is it drains all the power stored in the phone and takes the power source away so the phone can fully reboot and refresh the power cycle.
3. Replace he battery and plug in the phone.
