Hi,
I believe after they changed your "mainboard" (which I'll understand is the motherboard) something went wrong, as you said you tried to factory reset and reinstall stock firmware and the problem still persists, I will recommend you taking it again to the Repair Center, try asking for another S4, I think it'll solve all your problems , when my Kindle had a battery I got a new one for free from Amazon, I guess you can try getting one S4 too from Samsung.

I have had Samsung phones from the original Samsung Galaxy through the S4. Now I have an S5 and it is a great phone
Except....
On the prior models if I go stuck, I could always long press the power button and restart the phone. The S5 does not appear to support that.
Is there any other way to reset the phone (other than a battery pull). It is a real pain to have to open my Otterbox Defender case.
I tried searching without any luck and hope that I can get some help here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I have a rooted Galaxy S4 which, until recently, worked like a charm. Recently when I go to reboot, the phone does it's cycle, all the way down to the dimmed AT&T logo, but simply doesn't get to the lock screen.
2 days ago when I had this issue, on one occasion I put my phone in my pocket and about 5 minutes later I took it out and to my surprise it was on my lock screen.
Today, it ran out of battery and such, I haven't had such lucky flukes. I tried wiping the cache partition, taking out SD/SIM cards, trying to clear debris from the power button, etc. but nothing seems to work.
One particular thing I noticed while researching is that most people get stuck on the "SAMSUNG" logo, while I'm on the AT&T Logo. After being stuck on the AT&T logo for a while, pressing the power button causes the phone to vibrate for a little, and pressing it successively causes the phone to vibrate successively.
I know a factory reset will fix it, but I really don't feel like losing /all/ of my data.
Besides hoping for that lucky fluke again, I really don't know what to do. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
This was posted in the wrong location. It needed to be posted in the AT&T Galaxy S4 forums, not the International S4 forum. The people in the AT&T forums will be better able to assist you than we will.
The moderators will soon move this thread from the I9505 S4 forums to the AT&T S4 forums. In the meantime, take a look in the AT&T S4 forums as your question may have already been answered.
Hey people
I recently just fixed my S4 by taking the motherboard out of my old broken phone and putting it into a s4 with a dying motherboard. (have nicknamed it the Franken-phone). When I did this the Touch buttons refused to work or light up at all.
I know that the touch buttons from the second phone is working as I have tested it, but with the motherboard replaced the touch buttons don't work.
I am running the JFLTE optimized cyanogenmod 13 and TWRP. I have tried reflashing my phone and factory resetting it.
What should I try from here to get the buttons working as its a pain to use the phone sometimes without them.
Thanks
