Strange bootloop
I let my gt-i9505 charging normally and gone sleep...
When i waked up, it doesnt start anylonger...
But its very strange...
It was rooted and with a custom rom for 6 months already, all working.
Now it only turn on when connected to the charger, even so, it only boot to Download Mode, all other modes cause it to reboot right after the model name appears...
The battery is charged 100%, tested on other phone.
Unpluged from the charger, it gives no life signal at all...
I flashed original rom, new recovery, pre-rooted rom, full-wipe original rom... Nothing makes it even enter on recovery...
I believe its not hard bricked since it always enter in Download Mode without problems...
I have knox 0x1 already.... i was in 4.4.2, didnt tryied to flash anything before 4.3...
Anyone know what could it be?

I've used ODIN v3.09 and Heimdall... Flashed a lot of different roms, recoveries.... Nothing works...
Without the charger, it dont even vibrates when i try to turn it on...
With the charger, charging led is Off, but it vibrates and try to boot...
If i let it boot normally, it goes to a black screen with a grey battery at the center, inside the battery a freezed loading... after that it reboots... and it keeps doing so...
If i try to boot to recovery, it reboots as soon as it shows the yellow text at the top...
Download mode, always boot, odin and heimdall work normally... no error messages
Power button doenst seems to be stucked...
The battery is charged, but when i unplug from charger, it turns off no matter what...
My head is already in pain here... PLS, anyone know anything else i could try???

+1 begging for help.
What to do if reflashing stockroom with pit-file doesn't work?

Try flashing an older GB full wipe original ROM

no need to downgrade , download full rom 4.0.3 from sammobile site, flash it via odin,
then proceed the usual way to root and for recovery install proper cf root

4.0.3 ROMs are not wipe
You can, as a last resort use repartition and a pit file in odin

brother my battery was working just fine untill i installed the custom rom
It's possible it was low prior to flashing the ROM, and died in the process of flashing. Flash stock 4.0.3 through ODIN, keep battery on charge for awhile, report back.

Yah its working fine but it will drain your batt after flashing a rom... what is your battery level when you flash the rom? Coz you need a 50% above before flashing...

[Q] Boot loop(?) help!

I am running my GT-i9505 on PA3.99 and the other night my phone turned off while I was sleeping. I woke up and the phone would not boot, it would show the Samsung logo briefly then not boot up. It's got to the point where it will go past the Samsung logo and on to the PA boot animation, but it will repeatedly do that, it will not turn off or boot up from there. I can access Download mode but not Recovery mode.
What's the course of action here guys?
Thanks in advance.
Is you battery swollen? If so, then you probably have a faulty battery.
If it looks normal, then you could try flashing a rom true Odin. I would try to flash an older stock rom without the knox bootloader, if you still have the old bootloader.

My battery is not swollen, well from the looks of it.
I used a friends PC to flash through Odin but I can use the PC I'm using now, now. Is there any chance you could link me the Odin I should download?
What is the knox bootloader?
Thanks,

Please elaborate what is blue, then red, then yellow.
Are they showing up all at the same time?
Is this what you have been experiencing? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642038
Take the battery out for a few seconds, then put back in, boot into Download mode clear cache etc, reboot. Fixed.
If no good, reflash stock ROM via Odin. Fixed.
As for the Recovery is not seandroid enforcing it's normal on a rooted/custom recovery device.
In future, I'd suggest you read before you mess around with your device if it's so important to you.

Just want to make sure you know how to go into download mode. Remove and put back battery, while phone is off, press power + vol down + home button all at the same time until something comes up on the screen. Let go of all buttons then press vol up. Is that what you are doing to get into download mode?
The only problem you have is your 4.4.2 ROM. Nothing will boot because you want to startup a 4.4.2 Rom/Recovery with a 4.3 Bootloader. Just go back in Download mode, connect with your PC and flash official 4.4.2 ROM with ticking the option "Update Bootloader". Everything should work after, but I don't recommend 4.4. You can't go back and you have much probs with current KitKat ROMs.

Why not booting in recovery and reset it?
Or even in download mode and reinstall official one, then install the custom you want...

Did you try and flashed rom again ( odin) ?? another option would be to flash (odin) a custom recovery see if it let you enter it and do a factory reset ..only problem is it will trigger your knox bit to 1..
@lloop: Are you completely stock, or did you attempt to install a custom recovery? The behavior you describe is identical to the behavior witness by myself and others when trying to install TWRP 2.8.5.0 on the S4.
One other thing that might help here. On occasion I've had the device get stuck in recovery. Going into download mode, cancelling download mode, and then holding down the buttons to go into recovery often works.
