My phone was updating apps on the play store and I look over at it to see it was shut off so I tried to turn it on and it just went to the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen then shuts off. I have tried wiping everything on the phone and using ODIN to flash stock. I can boot into Recovery/Download mode fine. TWRP/CWM is able to flash files perfectly fine. I see in custom recovery it indicates the battery at 24% but when the phone attempts to boot and fails it shows the battery as jumping from almost charged to 100% on the battery indicator screen. The phone absolutely will not boot the farthest it gets is the very initial boot screen after the white text GN2 screen. If not connected to power source: Boot loops only showing "Samsung Galaxy Note II" a few times then shuts off. If connected to a power source: Boots "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen then for a split second I hear the beginning of the ATT chime and it shuts off to show charging battery icon/100% back and forth.
Phone only gives blinking red light now when attempting to use and the only information I have found online points to the motherboard randomly dying. This is disappointing as I didn't have the "bad" chip just a crappy one I guess.
