When i plug my charger in with no battery, The led turns red for about 15 seconds then turns off when the phone vibrates
when i plug my charger in with the battery, I get a flash screen showing a battery with a "refreshing" circle in it, The phone then starts to boot, Gets to the Samsung galaxy s3 screen and then dies.
When i go to download mode, It runs for a few seconds then dies
when i go to recovery mode, It runs for a few seconds and then dies.

I have no idea what to do, I do not have a warrenty.
If anyone knows of any fix to this please let me know.
Im completely comfortable with taking phones apart and im not scared to solder.

Please help. Im lost.

Same problem happened to my phone. Recovered after leaving it in a cool place for 24h. Probably caused by over heat.

HuntsVegas!!!
Or you let the battery die and have the power button stuck. A common issue. Open it up and see if you can play with the button a little.
Go to a tmobile store and borrow a battery with a charge and see how it acts.

The fact it turns off after a few seconds sounds just like the power button issue I mentioned. If you go to a T-Mobile store and borrow a good battery and it still happens you can be pretty sure its that button.
