Try plugging one end of the usb cable while holding down the volume buttons now plug in the other end of the usb cable while still holding the buttons. This should get you to download mode and subsequently you can odin back to stock.

This has happened to me when the battery was discharged after a flash via odin ..... connect the charger and wait 5 minutes charging your sgs2
Hi All,
I need your help. I downloaded the latest update for the S4 this morning after i clicked yes for the phone to reboot. It didn't turn back on. Everytime I try to turn it on, it vibrates but it doesn't show the logo. I also tried entering the recovery mode or download mode but there's nothing on the screen. I also tried removing the battery for several minutes and then tried the things i said above.
Is there any other way I can boot this or reformat my phone? Please help.
Thank you very much in advance
Same here.. I had the same problem.. I did try reset it and go to recovery mode, once on recovery mode, i can choose any option because it automatically goes back to install the update. And then after installation it stuck at the boot screen again and can't turn on. I had my phone rooted before but I already flash my phone back to stock. During the period where i root my phone i never install any custom ROM and whatsoever..

What I would do is go to ebay or online stores and buy a USB JIG it works perfect on Samsung Galaxy S4
and other android phones. The price is right too, anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 including shipping.
Here is a link worth looking at:
https://www.google.com/search?q=andr...icial&tbm=shop
JIGS are made for issues just like the ones you and @lasallegreen are experiencing.
All you need to do with the jig is first remove the battery from your phone for
20 seconds and replace it, then plug the USB jig into the usb port of the phone.
Wait a couple seconds or so and you will see the download mode screen.
Unplug the usb jig and load/open odin and after putting the stock rom in the
pda slot in odin connect usb cable from phone to computer.
Make sure the [COM:xx] lights up in Odin and click START.
Once odin successfully flashes the official stock rom the
phone will again be in perfect condition ready to use.
Your phone is NOT hard bricked, but most likely it is soft bricked meaning that it can be fixed to
come back to life after Odin flashing the official Samsung S4 stock firmware/rom which you can
find and download from http://SamMobile.com by searching by the model number of your phone.
Good luck!
Will try this method.. Thank you very much for your kind reply.. Will let you know of the outcome..

i was able to flash the stock rom using odin to see if that is the problem. I was successful in flashing but there's still nothing on my screen.
update: when i leave it for a few hours or so, there are times that the screen turns on and then it boots normally but if you reboot it's back to its frozen state. I hope someone can help me with this.
Hello guys,
I am in a big trouble!!
I have a galaxy s4 i9500. I installed prism barebone by aliraqi and left it for chanrging and after sometime when I looked into my phone it was looping at the intro screen (i.e. the screen which shows galaxy s4 i9500 in white on a black background).
I cant even go to recovery or download mode.
When I connect my phone to charger it shows the battery logo with a bolt in it and it gets really hot and it doesnt show any charge in the battery.
Please help me ASAP.
EDIT : It was a problem with the power button.
please try this .. daring to reply you .. remove the back cover .. remove battery .. remove sim card .. remove memory card .. keep the phone in open for 40 mins ..
u can buy a universal charger to charge the battery.. then reinsert everything back.. then try to check if you are able to go to download or recovery mode .. u can also try to go to safe mode and check if you are able to charge ..

I took out the battery during "installing system update" at 97%, now just keeps beep twice and screen says recovery booting and repeat. Tried recovery mode by holding volume up+home+power but doesn't work either still can't go to recovery mode.
Phone is galaxy note 3, never updated since they say newer one is crappy and drains battery fast, but half hour ago I pressed update by accident.
I got some important pictures in the phone, are they all gone? or can I recovery them?
anything else to try? hope it's not bricked and I need this phone! thanks for reading and help.
Dude, this is Note7 forums, not Note 3
yeah was thinking maybe the phones are similar and couldn't find the sub forum., mods you can move thread as you see fit.

Note 7 thread, but meh, I have a W8 so I'm not doing much. I will try to help!
Did you try putting it in Download Mode and side loading with Odin?
You can flash TWRP in Odin:
https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-3.0.2-1-hlte.img.tar.html (Snapdragon Note 3)
https://dl.twrp.me/ha3g/twrp-3.0.2-0-ha3g.img.tar.html (Exynos Note 3)
Odin: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/Odin_3.12.3.zip
Samsung drivers: http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Enter download mode (VolDown+Home+Power), VolUp past warning screen, plug in device to PC
Launch Odin
TWRP tar goes in AP slot, flash while holding volume up + home.
Once you're in TWRP you can transfer all your stuff off your phone such as pictures, etc. MTP is magical.

Ok just tried getting into download mode and it was able to. but Odin, snapdragon etc all those are new to me. for the phone I pretty much just use it to call/text and have some apps. I don't tweak it or anything everything is stock. I googled those terms but all those are new to me!
But after I tried to get into download mode I pressed down to restart, and it doesn't do the bootloop anymore. it goes to screen of tmobile 4g LTE after the samsung screen and just stops there. (also still can't get into recovery mode)

what's snapdragon and exynos note 3, I got tmobile note 3. I think I still got 50% battery life left the last time that it was working, should I get all thsoe done before battery dies or no worries?
so what are we doing? are we using Odin to get into TWRP, then transfer my pictures etc to desktop? then is TWRP pretty much the stock phone default mode or? sorry I am totally new at this. have very little idea what all those mean.

I recommend booting into download mode and noting the model number. Once you have this information, it will help determine which files should and should not be flashed to the phone.

I need to twrp and retrieve files from a bricked bootloop note 3, and also flash back to stock firmware. but the battery is totally dead, so I need to charge it first somehow or use USB during the process will be ok even it's dead battery?
The phone won't charge the battery in the phone? If not, you may need a new battery, USB flex cable, usb cable and/or charger.

no no, I am asking is it ok to flash twrp (retrieve bricked bootloop note 3) and also flash to stock firmware with a dead battery, USB should provide power but read somwhere that I should have at least 50 to 60% power
can't really charge it because it will turn on the phone and goes into bootloops (well I guess maybe just leave it but it will charge very slowly I guess?)
Yes, flashing twrp should be fine. Can the phone charge the battery when the phone is not powered on?

when phone is off and I charge it, it will turn it on by itself and goes into bootloops (battery is ok, but phone is messed up)
I think ONE other time the screen went somewhere and just stayed there, forgot what it was only one time, but screen won't turn off.
either case I guess I can just leave it there maybe? let it charge but screen is always on and bootloops keeps going, maybe won't charge at all since it keeps bootloops, or charge very slowly when the screen is always on? also can't see the battery % since it's in bootloops.
(oh I can go to recovery mode or download mode for either case, maybe leave phone connected to USB there and let it charge?)
oh for twrp is ok? maybe after twrp I will just leave it connected to pc and let it charge 30 min or so then do flash back to stock firmware later, can I do that? (also if not enough battery while doing the twrp or flash back to stock firmware, I can brick it for good and can't fix it?)
It would be best to flash twrp, power off the phone from the TWRP menu, then charge it. It the phone powers on by itself after flashing from twrp, charge the phone from twrp.

I want to transfer vids/pics from phone to desktop, where in TWRP do I use to do that? is it "backup" so far I am just looking at videos.
