There's a bug where the backlight is turned off during recovery on the SLCD model - try holding the screen up to a bright light or in sunlight.

Hold power button and tap volume up at this point and you should get into the recovery menu.

Hey, so i recently broke my mytouch4g. The volume up button seems to act as if its jammed, when its really not because i can still click it. So i called a local cell phone repair shop, and they didnt know what kind of cable the mytouch4g had for the volume buttons, and I'd like to know before i actually go out and try to get it fixed.
When i press the power button, it vibrates 3 times, then blinks an orange LED, screen somewhat lights up. if anyone could help me out on this, maybe by flashing something to get in a different mode instead of that, because after letting it sit for a day it finally turned on. but im afraid to turn it off and try again to see what happens.. Is there some sort of menu i could flash that'll get me to this? Thanks
Well you're booted up right now, in the Android OS right? Are you rooted? If so, flash CWM Recovery and flash a ROM. If not, don't know what to tell you. Not even sure if this answer is right. Anyone wanna back me up or give a better answer, be my guest. Hope this helps you somewhat.
CWM recovery? can you get to that with volume up + power ? and once i turn it off, it wont work again till i get if fixed. this has happened before

Yes CWM Recovery. If you already flash the recovery, you can get there through bootloader (volume DOWN + power) then select recovery.

OK then. Download ROM Manager from the Play Store, flash the latest recovery, then select reboot into recovery.
Also, off topic, but...700th POST!

If you can get the phone to me , I can try and recover it for you.. if you cant do it yourself. ( im local to you)
Just to be sure, you are pressing both volume buttons plus the power button to try to get to a pink screen? Sometimes you have to keep these pressed for a few seconds before the device responds.
Hey guys,my phone will automatically turn itself on when i insert my battery. Then after the Samsung logo, the screen automatically turns black. I first suspected that it was a battery problem, but that did not turn out to be the case. I think it has something to do with the power button. I also tried to boot it up into recovery mode but the screen still went black before i had the chance to do anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Even with the charger on?
Why you said that the battery is ok?
It's definitely a stuck power button
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Try to let the battery drain and make the phone die, then try to charge it when its off and get to download from when its off.
Also have you tried a jig to get into download mode and stay there?
Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 running TWRP 3.0.2-0 jfltexx. I am having a problem where TWRP won't boot up when using the key combination of Volume UP + Home + Power, it will show up with the Galaxy S4 screen then at the top left corner it will show kernel not seandroid enforcing, recovery booting. Then it will boot to a black screen and then after 3 seconds it will vibrate and boot into android like it normally does. However on Flashify (Android App for flashing) I click the 'Reboot to Recovery' Button it boots into TWRP and it runs like a charm.
Android is running completely fine, stock 5.0.1.
Help will be appreciated.
UPDATE : SOLVED, Thanks to @QueryVillain
Solution :
1) Volume up + Power button while device is off
2) As soon as you see something in upper left corner, release both buttons and you will be booted to recovery
Try TWRP 2.87 to see if you still have the same problem.

Sorry for the late reply, but ok i'l try it out.
The actual key combo is volume up + power button. Home button is not necessary.

I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and i'm having the exact same issue, just a black screen then about 3 to 5 seconds in, it will vibrate and show Galaxy S4 screen and boot to android.
Similar behaviour started to happen to me after flashing new bootloader via ODIN, but instead of booting to Android, my phone just turns off. At first I thought recovery got overwritten, but I still could boot into it from Android restart menu
What works for me:
1) Volume up + Power button while device is off
2) As soon as you see something in upper left corner, release both buttons and you will be booted to recovery

What do you mean? It's recovery, just as safe as using recovery in general

Doesn't matter anymore, Thank you so much! Other members told me to flash stock rom again, but I didn't want to lose all my stuff and go through backing up process.

Normally, while trying to get into recovery, you hold the buttons until it vibrates and then release.
If you don't release the buttons (the power button especially), the phone will turn off at some point.

Hold pwr + vol down together for 5 sec or more.
After phone off, go into recovery mode. Clear cache / dav. Reboot. Btw, better if you go directly to that rom thread for help

with no load being drawn in stand-by mode at least 4-5 days.
Did you try smart switch\s emergency initialization feature that might restore your phone. It seems to by-pass alot of issues in restoring the phone.

Can't say. If it is stuck on some process which may drain it faster. I would say try everything you can in the meantime. Just don't charge it.

This happened due to a bad kernel or a non coresponding flash of the kernel.
Like @mashardpro said earlier, press home+power+volume down untill the phone goes to download mode.
It may take more than 10 seconds.
After you enter in download mode press volume up so the phone will restart and immediately press home+power+volume up to enter recovery.
Wipe dalvik and cache and flash another kernel corresponding to your device and rom
