A week back my "GALAXY Y GT-S5360" got boot loop started when I tried to update my phone through wifi...
Later i read a thread here in XDA and flashed it for the first time using ODIN v1.85.
It worked well for a week with intermediate restarts once or twice until yesterday when i was browsing the net it suddenly switched off.
It would restart on its own and be in the loop and again shuts down for sometime...
Now i tried to do the same flashing through ODIN and during the process it shuts down and again restarts....This way i am not able to flash it...
I tried to restart it in recovery mode and did the wipe cache/factory reset but still during that too the phone powers OFF itself..
pls help me...
Thank you in advance...!!:good:
try a different stock rom from dokys thread. it might have problems with your provider or something try a new firmware
Might be a hardware problem..your power buuton must be jammed or try removing battery,leave it for some time then try again...if it turns on suddenly then its surely a hardware problem

If u have any thread which gave a reply to this kinda problem pls let me know...thanks a lot..http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif
Okay, so I'm not completely new to all of this. I own other android devices and have rooted and flashed them..
However, I recently got the AT&T S4 (SGH-I337), and due to my own fault, I mistakenly clicked on and flashed the wrong kernel to my phone. It will not boot. It just sits with a black screen while it vibrates every 3 seconds, non stop. I cannot enter recovery, nor does any logo appear.
I have only been able to enter the Odin Mode and already attempted to use the stock rom located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
I have also tried downloading the files from the Sammobile.com website.
Odin goes through the process of flashing the stock rom and successfully finishes the process each time. It still does not boot and only vibrates.
I have also tried Kies; however it says that my SGH-I337 doesn't support initializing.
I truly am at a loss, here. I have been up literally all night searching the forums and various websites. Odin seemed to work for most, and for those that it didn't, they were able to enter recovery to do a reset.
So in short..
Phone only vibrates and doesn't boot or show logo.
I have already flashed the stock rom using odin.
I cannot enter recovery.
I have tried pulling the battery and entering recovery.
Is there anything that can be done at this point, besides taking it to AT&T?
Which kernel did you flash?

I mistakenly downloaded the Ktoonsez kernel for the S3 for Touchwiz JELLYBEAN 4.1.2.
It failed, but hasn't worked since. I did, however, flash the stock kernel with odin, but that still has done nothing, even though it said it was successful.
So does anyone have any idea what can be done? I'm open to suggestions!

Yep Sure Do...
1st If your able to boot to Odin and you see the download screen your not bricked...
Also the window for entering recovery is very short with the keys so continue to try...
1. Do you have a stock or custom recovery?
2. Do you have any back-ups on your SD card?
let me just say I ran into a problem few days back with a similar problem...
Please answer questions and we will get to next step.... DON'T PANIC!!!:good:

2. I have 1 backup that I saved to my computer, just in case.

I've used odin at least 5 times. Getting into download mode isn't the problem. All i have to do is hold the Volume Down button while it's doing its infinite vibrate ever 3 seconds.

I did. That is the folder that I copied to my computer.
The key is getting into recovery...
Make sure you are using the right key format...
1. Hold Power Volume UP and Center key at the same time
2. when you see the Blue recovery words... split second release power and center key hold volume up for another split second
3. release volume up then hold down again
If you do not go into recovery you missed the window... try again

Okay, well that's the problem. It's only a black screen. No logo or blue letters pop up. I have been into recovery mode several times, so I know what I need to do.. It's just not possible with how the device is currently behaving. As soon as I put the battery in, the phone vibrates after 3 seconds, then repeats every 3 seconds. There is no logo, or lettering. The screen never turns on. The only times the screen turns on is when i enter Download Mode.
once your in recovery...
TWRP breaks up parts of the back-up
Remember in this step you are not trying to restore....
try to install each section of the back-up this will clear your frigged up partition
I do not know which is corrupt so its trial and error...
It will state that the flash was unsuccessful but it does flash enough to clear your corrupt area!!!

Hi,
To enter in download mode:
Turn off device PRESS VOL UP while plugging in the micro usb cable. If this doesn't work, try holding both volume keys instead

Before flashing and getting into rooting your phone and flashing a recovery, I suggest you to read about it.
my galaxy s4 is always boot looping into Samsung galaxy s4 screen. only the download mode screen appears but it reboots again after 5 seconds and keeps on rebooting . any help ?
Do you run with stock or custom recovery? Have you tried to (re-)flash a custom recovery (CWM highly recommended)?

Hm, if I understand you correctly, you can boot into download mode but it just lasts a couple of seconds before it reboots on its own, right? You cannot boot into recovery as the screen simply stays black. Can you boot successfully into /system or does it bootloop as well?
Sounds like a hardbrick to me, the only thing I can think of before sending your phone in for repair is to pull out the battery for 1 hour or so, reinsert it and boot directly into download mode and see if it stays there. If it does, flash a custom recovery using Odin and check whether you can boot into it afterwards.

Im also having the same problem as of this last night.
cannot boot into recovery.
boots to download mode first screen but when I attempt to press volume up to accept, it reboots.
as soon as i put the battery in it cycles through the samsung logo.
tried removing memory card but didnt help.
tried keeping battery out overnight, nothing.
last thing i changed was flashing --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860. did this about 2 days ago.

I think it has nothing to do with it
I'm, I was actually, on stock everything, rom, kernel and recovery
30 68336826
OK so I left my phone without a battery in it for the afternoon, just got back home and gave it a try.
It booted. No idea why or what actually went wrong.
Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
OK, So the point that the phone just start booting just the moment the battery is inserted got me thinking
IS IT THE POWER SWITCH?
and indeed it's, the power switch is stuck on, although I can feel the click when I push, still, seems like something is wrong with it
so I tried to suck it out, hit the phone softly few times while the power switch is facing the ground
inserted the battery, aaaand, it didn't start booting, pressed the power softly, and horaaaaay, it's working
Had the same issue and indeed I knocked the power button several times and it worked very well. Thank you! You saved my day

I have similar problem... and identified its power button.
How i identified is as phone switched on i hold menu button and volume down button together and
it booted in download mode, for download mode you have to keep pressing power button, volume
down button and menu button but it went without pressing power button.. so i assume that its power
button.
Try it... hope will identify your problem
same Problem
Hello!
I have the same problem, and disassemble the cell and saw that the button will operate properly .
Someone has managed to get out of this problem?
thanks a lot... i was facing same problem... i hit ma phn near power switch...again n again... it worked... love u xda
whoa, I just got this problem recently, because some of bezel around my phone has cracked, then I try to glue it roughly.
at the other hand, I tried to install new kernel. I tought that kernel make my phone bricked. then I found this thread. so I open my case. and found my glue sticked to the power button, remove it and. voilaaaa~
thank you XDA. you never cease to amaze me. lol
