dpmsss · May 27, 2015

Hello!!!

Yesterday my Galaxy S III phone got booting problem. It shows the booting Samsung Logo and goes-off and with in second again appears and continues on and off. I tried pressing any button but no response from the phone. Phone get off when i remove the battery from the phone. I believe this may be due to some OS corruption.

I am stressed now. Kindly help to find a solution for this. Can I re-install Android by any other method?

Thanks

You are in a boot loop basically. Can you enter into downloading mode by pressing Power+Home+Volume Down key. If you do please look at my guide for reinstalling the firmware via Odin. http://androidforums.com/threads/gu...from-lollipop-to-kitkat-version-4-4-2.919696/

NOTE: It says downgrading but this applies to any Samsung device. Any questions on my guide ask them on this thread

Hi Luke, my phone is not switching off properly. only off by removing the battery. when i put the battery on, start with Samsung Galaxt S III logo and disappear. like it continues. When I press Home+Volume down+Power, display appear with some message and back to restarting. I have no clue what really happened.

Thanks

Sounds like your power button is "jammed" in

No, I checked all the buttons. Only thing to check is the battery. I think the Android OS is crashed or jammed with some update. Anyone knows how to feed Android to the phone?

Yeah do a Google search for "flash s3 stock firmware Odin" and have a read.
Ask if you have any questions :thumbsupdroid:

Once it starts loading immediately let go. Try that. It worked for me.

If that doesn't work, do the same thing but press the Volume Up button quicker when it starts loading. You should go right to the Downloading Screen.

Also try charging the battery to 100% and then try and do Power+Home+Volume Down

Have you tried going into Recovery mode by pressing Power+Home+Volume up key. Once in the recovery mode. Apply factory reset and after wipe cache partition. Then reboot phone.

Let me know if it works!

I tried this at least a million times

I think I'll have to do a factory reset which I hate doing.

It's not a Samsung issue per say, your power button is failing, as stated earlier by someone saying it was "jammed". If it was the OS that you are hoping a factory reset would fix, the problem would not arise while in recovery or download mode. Since it did happen there you can reliably say it's a hardware issue. I've had them fail before, they are either hyper sensitive or act like you are holding the power button down when your not. I've had them replaced at a repair shop for about $45 after that no more problems.

Yeah, but when I hold the power button down it normally shows the power menu, whenever it turns off on me it doesn't, it just does it without telling me...

Guys, I gave it for repair and cot corrected it. The problem was a short circuit in the charging component. They replaced that part and now it is working perfectly. Thanks to all input on the subject matter.
