SGS Not booting up

Guys,
This happened as I woke up this morning. Saw my phone showing the screen of battery charging when being switched off and looping back in the same. The phone won't restart. Tried flashing JVB from download mode but the moment phone is switched off. The same battery charging screen shows up and the phone doesn't boot up. Kindly provide some expertise on the same. Thanks in advance.
Just Checked: It'll boot up when connected to a charger but otherwise it wouldn't boot up. All this is on JVB haven't tried going cyanogen yet.

So can you or can you not enter download mode?

try remove battery and wait 5 min.,than try again

[Q] Problem: Phone stuck at ROM Booting animation.

Hello everybody.
I am a Defy Red Lense user with a recently flashed PA 2.14 build (coming from 2.00 version of same ROM). At first 3-4 boots everything was ok, till I made some changes on phone config (namely enabling 16 bit transparency as recommended by it's maker, and then some small changes in Paranoid Android Settings) and asked me to reboot. Ok so I went to reboot and as usual, it booted me into bootmenu, and I chose "boot" and "2ndinit" as usual. After a odd bootloop (where the phone wouldn't go through the blue, then green LED sequence and would then reboot, show Moto logo boot animation, rinse and repeat, etc) that I ended by pressing vol - and entering, again, into bootmenu, I chose again boot and 2ndinit and then something really weird happened:
After almost half an hour i'm still stuck at the very ROM booting animation (the Paranoid Android one, no the Moto logo), just like the guys that tried that new kernel that were reporting 15+ min first boot times. As a clarification, my first boot with just flashed 2.14 took, at most, 5 minutes. And there is another odd vehaviour, concerning the PA boot animation: it gets randomly stuck for a few secs and continues as usual, with no looping from 0 just like the normal loopboot.
So here comes the questions:
- What is really happening? is it really booting or the phone is just stuck in ROM bootanimation? How long should I wait to consider shutting it down?
- Is there some way to get out of it/shutting it down without damaging the device? Can I just pull the battery off without bricking the device?
Looking fowardd for some theories behind this issue :good:

Well, seems like it was OK to unmount the battery while on ROM booting animation, since I haven't had mayor problems after doing so and rebooting. Now the phone works just fine.
Tho im still curious the reason behind this pseudo-bootloop. Thanks for reading anyways :good:

New Battery - rebooting after logo

Hey Guys,
My N4 is almost a little bit old so I had to change the battery.
Now I have a problem, the phone doesn't turn on and the new battery doesn't seem to charge. It an original one.
When I turn it on, it turns automatically off after the logo. What might it be? In the TWRP it's showing at least 50% of battery left.
BTW, it's been charging for around 3h.

It's propably a software issue, happens when a problem with rom flashing ruins normal boot.
1) Try cleaning cache/dalvik cache.
2) if didnt work try install your rom again without wiping. ( the same rom u were using )
3) do a clean install of any rom and should work fine.
4) if nothing can happen , try backup through recovery and flash nexus 4 official image from google

Phone keeps restarting at recovery screen

Hi guys,
I have an issue with my phone:
Yesterday, tried to restore factory settings, since the phone was quite slow.
A second or so after I confirmed the reset, the phone turned off and wouldn't start.
I took out the battery and it was swollen.
I bought a new battery today, inserted and stated the phone.
What happens now, is that the phone boots, Samsung logo appears, then the TWRP logo appears, from this point, the phone stuck at this logo screen,
and flashes every few seconds (I can't post a video here, so I can share the link in private, if anyone can take a look).
I tried to leave the phone for about 20mins without battery at all, removed SD cards, removed SIM cards, no use.
Trying to boot to recovery or download mode gives the same result.
Tried today with an original battery of a friend's Galaxy S4 , same result.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do?
Thanks in advance for you help

Sound to me your power button is stuck/faulty. Does it reboot also when in download mode? If so, then it's your power button. Wiggle it loose or replace it.

It never gets to download (or recovery) mode...
It keeps flashing at the logo of the TWRP
Trying to boot to download or recovery modes, gives the same results

I don't think it's the power button. Otherwise it would turn off if it is stuck or not turn on at all if it's faulty.
Still, I wouldn't exclude it.
The screen flashing might related to a GPU problem. I don't think it is a problem you can fix yourself.

Phone suddenly froze then stuck on logo next boot

My note 4 suddenly froze when I'm using it normally, I had to take out battery then boot up again, now just won't pass the logo Samsung screen, download mode still work but when I tried flashing stock rom it just keep stucking at logo screen ((
I cannot enter recovery mode either, same stucking at logo. Please help, I want to know if my phone can still be saved or should I let it rest forever. Thank you.

Try to change the battery, galaxy note 4 is infamous for its boot loop because of battery failure. I've had experienced it.

I was thinking the same.
Only thing is he got away with (?) flashing it whick would indicate reserve battery capacity.
Regardless replace old or degraded batteries before they cause issues especially Li's. Just part of necessary routine maintenance...
