I'm not a noob and have tried everything I can think of - hooking my phone up to my pc via odin and adb with zero results. Tried plugging on my phone overnight, etc etc.
My problem - I was at work and took a photo with the camera app, the camera crashed, then I opened the gallery. I went to reboot my phone and nothing happens. Now when I try to power on the phone, nothing happens. I do a battery pull and then put the battery back in and it boots up for no more than 3 seconds to the Samsung logo and then turns off. If I try booting into recovery, same thing - just turns off and the same situation if I try to boot into download mode. Has anyone encountered this problem? Note that I am running a custom recovery - Philz CWM. I fear the worst; my phone is perma bricked.
edit; FIXED - Faulty power button. Power button will stay in and not pop out without prying at it.

Help!
I've had CM7 on my phone for some time now
I left my phone in my room when I went out, I noticed when I got back it had ran out of battery and kept booting, running out of battery, and restarting. I put it on charge and it was running and charging ok, but accidentally pulled the power wire out and it died again.
I've tried restarting the phone since then and it just boots to a blank screen, I've tried booting to recovery, fastboot and normal powering on, all of these just boot to the blank screen and does nothing
Please help with any suggestions!

Gee. try connecting your phone to your pc then see if your pc reads your phone. If it does then you could try installing stock ruu from your pc to the phone.
I was checking Facebook when suddenly the phone restarted, but it got stuck at the first boot logo over and over...then i tried several steps to figure out what's going on.
*First I took the battery out, leaved the phone without it for about 5hrs, then I put it back and no luck... (The SD card was also removed.)
*Later I tried with a different battery and no luck, the phone keeps restarting over and over...
*Tried entering in Download mode and nothing works, the phone does not respond, and then it restarts...
*Tried doing a hard reset, but the phone does not respond to (vol up + home + power)
*Changed the SD card with a new one, nothing.
*The battery is not swallowed.
*The device was rooted and running Omega ROM V17 Android 4.3 (rooted it in December and had no problem).
WTH is going on?, if at least i could use download mode to fix it
(another thing that looks strange to me is that as soon as I put the battery on the phone, the device turns on intermediately and I think it's not normal because the device does nothing until the user turns it on.)
Please any help, this issue is over my head.
Thank you so much.
Download mode and recovery is available??
It can be 2 things:
- You have a faulty battery.
- You have damaged hardware.
No flash is going to help you. It's just bad luck.
Probably your power button was broken and stucked. If you still have warranty, send it to repair in samsung service center. This used to happen to my i9500 once.

Hi guys,
I have an issue with my phone:
Yesterday, tried to restore factory settings, since the phone was quite slow.
A second or so after I confirmed the reset, the phone turned off and wouldn't start.
I took out the battery and it was swollen.
I bought a new battery today, inserted and stated the phone.
What happens now, is that the phone boots, Samsung logo appears, then the TWRP logo appears, from this point, the phone stuck at this logo screen,
and flashes every few seconds (I can't post a video here, so I can share the link in private, if anyone can take a look).
I tried to leave the phone for about 20mins without battery at all, removed SD cards, removed SIM cards, no use.
Trying to boot to recovery or download mode gives the same result.
Tried today with an original battery of a friend's Galaxy S4 , same result.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do?
Thanks in advance for you help

Sound to me your power button is stuck/faulty. Does it reboot also when in download mode? If so, then it's your power button. Wiggle it loose or replace it.

It never gets to download (or recovery) mode...
It keeps flashing at the logo of the TWRP
Trying to boot to download or recovery modes, gives the same results
I don't think it's the power button. Otherwise it would turn off if it is stuck or not turn on at all if it's faulty.
Still, I wouldn't exclude it.
The screen flashing might related to a GPU problem. I don't think it is a problem you can fix yourself.
Hey,
I have D802 16GB with pre-last CM version. Wanted to restart the phone (no mods nor installing apps before, just a normal restart) and the trouble started:
-it was stucking on LG logo and then screen turning off; sometimes it came to CM boot animation followed by turned off screen
-managed to boot the phone in safe mode in order to backup files from the phone, it freezed and turned off. Booted in safe mode few times again, the freeze was coming faster and faster
-once or twice phone booted up normally, freezed very soon
-booted to safe mode couple of more times. I noticed the phone was freezing shortly after releasing the volume buttons.
-booted up in normal mode, was holding the volume up button during the boot. The phone worked normally, after couple of mins released the volume button. Few mins after the phone freezed.
-LG logo was shown few more times out of dozens of attempts with different power button and volume buttons combinations
-LG logo showed for a short moment after pluging the charger
-now nothing happens at all, even when connected to charger or PC. The computer doesn't detect any device.
I really want to get the data that are in internal memory of the phone. What should I do? What happened with my phone?
Found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
but will the internal memory data be affected? Moreover, there is written:
12 After attaching buttons plate,check your device going into download mode, and use flash tool to flash stock rom.

On the phone is CM which is not stock ROM, can I proceed?
Each advice will be much appreciated
Hey
I'm having this problem with my S8. I was scrolling through Instagram when my phone suddenly froze and shut off about 10 seconds after. Tried to restart and do a hard reset ( Vol Down and Power), nothing worked all day. No charging LED when plugged in, nothing.
However, I came home and plugged it into my PC and it started charging. Got to 25% before i turned it on. Worked fine. I attempted to do a factory reset just in case it was bad software. When i did the factory reset, it restarted and said installing new software and gave me the "No Command" error and now i have the same problem as before where it wont turn on.
I downloaded fresh software from Sammobile and have Odin installed and ready to go but i cant get the phone into DL mode. HELP!!!
