I have a samsung galaxy s4 (i337 ,at&t phone / snapdragon version) running stock Android 4.3 MK2.
Recently the blue led turned on by itself and it never does not turn off. I tried to power off the phone but the led is still on. After that i pulled out the battery , waited about 10 min and put it back and i got the same problem. Also i tried to disable the led notifications from settings and nothing.
Only way to turn it off is to connect the phone to a pc , put the phone in download mode and pull out the battery but if i put it back the led turns on again. I tried several led notification programs but they dont help . Also if i recieve new messages,emails the led is still steady blue on and does not blink.
I tried to factory reset , i flashed the mk2 rom via odin but this didnt help.
How to fix this ?? thanks

Seems like hardware problem. If you have warranty go and get fix/replace your phone.
I have waranty in US but i live in Romania so its expensive to send it back. In LED tests from menu ( *#0*# ) on red i get purple , on green i get light blue and on blue i get very bright blue. But i dont think its a hardware problem beacause everything works , i havent droped my phone or something like this. My bootloader is locked so i cant check other ROMS. I have to wait for KitKat or is better to install leaked kitkat build now ?

You can use Safestrap and check the All Things MK2 thread for what ROMs you can use and how. You could also try the KitKat leak and still use the tar files to go back to MK2, but I think it's probably a defect.

Hi, i em new to whole android scene and i have my SGS just few days, but i recognize a lot of downsides in original FW so i decided do flash leatest 2.2 froyo.
I fallowed instructions on samsung-firmwares.com
and try to flash via odin, phone connected to odin, showed some yellow brackeds with com written inside.
so i mounted pit file, and other three files i downloaded from narod.ru
here they are:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJP3
I9000XXJP3
I9000XXJP3-REV03-PDA-mid-CL470734
all .tar files
when i hit start, first window gone blue and write restart or reset other thee yellow gone red and write fail. I get cold swet and disconnect the phone and try to turn it on, it turned on just fine and it looks flashed to 2.2, so i turn it off again plug in sim card, turn it on again and everyting work perfect it showes froyo 2.2 and JP3, but is this normal procedure?
I encountered just two things, how to install flash player? i try to instal it from market but this just add url link for download from adobe, but this not work
and second when the screen locks(default lockscreen), it goes dark, but after i unlock it its still dark and i need to setup brightnes manualy, everytime screen is locked and unlocked i need to manualy set brightnes level cos its on the darkest one.

I did not flash anything. ....
im using stock firmware from samsung i9505xxuamdm. . . even recovery is stock android recovery. . i dont even have rpot permissions
i managed to turn on my phone but i see the problem when i rurn it off or when i restart. . .
now its still not booting. . .
its like when i turn it on. . . the phone responds via vibrating but doesnt boot even the i9505 logo doesnt show up (the white samsung galaxy s4 logo before the bootanimation)

Any recent application installs which might have caused this?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
if i remember correctly the last thing i installed is quadrant benchmark
is it possible that something on the root/data/app got missing or uninstalled?
this is the first time i encountered this problem. , havent seen it before in devices that ive handled
It sounds a little like the cache is corrupted (can happen if it doesnt shut down cleanly).
I had similar behaviour on my galaxy note.
The first time I did a factory reset and that fixed it (remember this wipes all data).
The second time I tried formatting the cache partition first and that fixed it.
When I did those I was using CWM recovery. I cant recall the stock recovery options.
If all is the same between phone versions, to enter recovery you hold down home-power-volume_up til it boots.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
from other posts from orher devices i have read they say its cache but the problem is when i turn it on it doesnt even boot the iniitial logo (samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505)
it doesnt show up anything. . . screen doesnt lit up so also a problem how do i go now to recovery if the screen doesnt even turn on (the phone vibrates as a respond but the LED and the Screen doesnt lit up)
i know how to enter recovery mode. . . thats the only problem (softbricked)? this phone was bought on the official day of release
I'm having the same problem... Did you find a solution?
Anyone Solve this?
Getting quite anxious about not being power it on
Alex
Was anyone able to solve this? I'm experiencing the same problem. I can switch it on after removing the battery for a long time, but I can't seem to be able to get to recovery, or reboot proprely. Please help... thanks!
Do we have a fix?

having the same problem too
1. you still CAN go to the download mode even if screen is off (I flashed full stock but this did not resolve a problem)
2. I was able to turn on my phone after many attempts: (press power, after vibration release) - I did it about 30-50(maybe more) times and my phone boots up. But after rebooting it again doesnt turn on (again many attempts helps me).
3. I have observed - in my phone vibration turns on after 6s after power button is pressed, in a correctly working one - after 4s.
(sorry for my english)
Was anyone able to resolve this?
same problem here too !! but seem to have found a solution
My galaxy s4 was acting all weird one day, randomly it switched off and wont turn on but keeps on vibrating it was only 3months old I thought it had some serious hardware issues because I tried all the means to resetthe phone but nothing gave me a solution even tried another battery no effect it wont turn on even if it did turn on it would randomly shut itself up within notmorethan 15min I stay in india where i9505 is not sold so Samsung officials would not take my phone for service as they feel its different from i9500 in all means I got fed up and brought myself a new phone a 5s .
A few days before I badly wanted my galaxy so sat whole day searching the internet for fixes couldnt find one . I got angry and smashed the phone hard on the table .to my surprise it gurned on (was connected to the charger ) turns out some phones have a problem with there power button and mine was one of them
I didnt get my button fixed yet but after turning on not using the power button helps . Have been working for 4 days in a row now no problem what so ever . But if I lock my phone using the power button then it tends to get the same problem again ! So guys get your power button checked
Try to fix the button with WD40, worked for me.

Hi people. I have been running a rooted phone for a while and decided to go back to unrooted recently. I decided I would like to use the barclays app and apply the new updates that samsung rolled out recently. However when I flashed the stock firmware I found that the screen no longer worked. The phone seemed to boot up and play the samsung startup jingle but no splash logo. just a black screen. To test I decided to call it and the call came through ok and answered with the home button, speech all functional???!! Just no screen ... completely black??? Would this likely be a fault with the firmware or is it just uncanny timing with a faulty screen??? confused and wondered if anyone else has come across this before I go but a new screen. I downloaded the firmware from hotfile "I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME"
thanks in advance

i would say to stay away from new firmwares at this time....you are stuck in the locked bootloader.
can you boot in recovery or odin modes and see the screen?
wipe data and cache and reflash the MH8 then do the wipe. see if that works
can not determine if it is a HW or SW issue.
if you want to use app that doesnt require root like Barcley and you are rooted, you can hide the root with some available app.
It seems I am able to get the device into download mode, although nothing comes on the screen. I just have to do the procedure blind. No matter what I do nothing comes up. It also seems I can only get the phone to read the internal memory through USB once a flash procedure has completed. It seems to force a boot up but when I try to restart manually it does nothing but vibrate and only seems to be able to put into download mode while blind. I find it very unusual that the screen should suddenly stop working the moment I try and flash the standard firmware. Getting worried now. nothing seems to work
Can anyone help here??? I have tried flashing several times. Just vibrates and does nothing. I can get it into download mode but I don't get any warning screen up. I just go through the button combo's blind and it manages to get into communication with a odin com port. I have tried doing a PIT download. What I was then finding is that the phone can bring up a recovery screen with option to reset, I reset but the phone will just be a black screen and play the samsung start jingle without the splash screen. It then seems to boot and receive notifications with a totally black screen. completely unresponsive.
If you can't see a splash screen or even recovery and download mode screens, then I'd say its a hw issue and no ROM is going to fix it, because those mentioned things are not even tied to the ROM.
Your screen has broken some how, it could be as simple as a flexi connector falling out or as bad as your screen being totally gone.

It doesn't look like hardware problem
i am facing exactly similar situation with a 9505, i tested LCD with another of my 9505, and LCD is ok
is just happened after an Odin flash of stock firmware.
I had cm11 (or 10, not sure) installed for about a month now (back in december) .... Went on a trip, and when coming back my phone battery ran out at the airport somehow, but i had fully charged it and i was not out all day enough for it to run out fully... I take my phone home, not really giving it much importance, and i noticed it was stuck on the bootlogo.. so i went into recovery and tried to re-flash the rom and fix it, but when i was installing the ROM again, the phone shut off randomly (i heard that happened with a certain recovery menu software sometimes, i cant remember the name)... then the phone wouldn't charge and/or turn on, and when I connect it to the pc, nothing happens other than the white led coming on.. RSD won't recognize it...
So i found out i had to charge the battery manually, and used a Universal Charger... Still, no recognition by RSD Lite...
Finally, i found a way:
1. Open RSDLite
2. Connect phone (no battery on it)
3. While holding Power + Vol Up, put the battery in
4. RSD will recognize your phone!
Problem is, it recognizes my MB525 as "S Flash OMAP0360"
And when i try to flash a .sbf i used previously to recover my phone (had bricked it before by trying to change ROMs in a sloppy manner), it seems to flash smoothly, but when it's going to reboot the phone, the progress goes up to 100% and then asks me to reboot it manually.. I read somewhere that to fix that i should take the battery out, disconnect the phone, put it back in, and make RSD recognize it like i mentioned before...... and after RSDLite says flashing is PASSED, the phone still won't turn on... I have tried at least three times and gotten the same result... Help?
The SBF i am using (because it helped me save my phone before) is:
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25TIGCOLA01E.0R_JORLAFROTIGCOL A_P009_A002_M010_HWp3_WIG146037_Service1FF.sbf
EDIT: Also, i read somewhere that when all you get is the white led (when connecting to PC) it means that your battery is not charged enough for flashing.. ?
I don't know what to do?? I read that defy's are really hard to brick... But mine got bricked out of nowhere.. wtf?

Hey there. Well, if it's still flashable it ain't bricked. I've got my other one to not be recognized (broken bootloader), which is beyond usual repair. So, did you you flash some random SBF before the rescue one you're trying out now? There's a problem with previously flashed GingerBread or Defy+ SBF images. So it would be good to know, what was the SBF running before trying "JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9". Also according to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 that is 2.2.1 and there's also a "Android 2.2.2 Blur_Version.34.4.802.MB525.Latam.en.01". Tried that as well?
Anyhow, if the phone is seen by RSDlite it actually powers on and is recoverable. If the screen is just staying black, then you probably tried a downgrade from a Gingerbread SBF and didn't watch out for the BL-version.
If it's a BL-version problem then this might help. Also there is a guide to unbrick. And yes, keep an eye out for the battery level. Best would be an external charger, as the phone does not charge. McGyver way should still work though.
If it shows a LED and is seen over USb, it's not dead (yet)
Also look out for section "Common Problems/Questions" here.

No, i have not flashed other SBF's ever... only CM roms but i did it through the phone itself, in recovery mode.. I'll try the 2.2.2 one you told me about and see how that works out!
EDIT: No luck, the phone stays at a black screen.. it wont even reboot when RSD is done flashing.. i have to take the battery out and put it in bootloader again for RSD to say it PASSED the flashing

Too bad Anyway, did you try 8. from here, that is
"
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now
"? Also holding Power and Vol-Down while inserting battery is said to work.
I wonder if there is an SBF that also flashes cache and userdata partitions...
Nope, it just stays black-screened.... It only works if i do VOL-UP for bootloader mode, but that doesnt help
Umm, as a shot into the blue: Did you try to reinstall the Defy drivers from Motorola? It seems that missing those hinder RSD lite from detecting the Phone as MB52x and instead just show the Processor identification, i.e. "S Flash OMAP3630"
Try dfp 231. The processor identification is correct( rsdlite has been set up properly).

wtf, the phone flashed correctly and everything but the screen won't turn on.... The computer recognizes it as MB526 now, and i can touch the home button and stuff and it will vibrate like it used to when it worked... i can also make the ringtones play using the moto portal page... Everything works (except for calls) other than the fact that i still have a black screen... the screen just wont turn on... Also it said it had very little internal memory compared to what it had before (had at least 2 gb i think.. now not even one)
I had sent the phone over to fix, and they told me it was unfixable... Is it possible that the guy (it wasnt an official company) who "tried to fix it" simply took parts out of it ? -_- (if he had taken parts out of it im guessing the phone wouldnt turn on at all..?)
What can i do to turn the screen on??

Umm, according to this thread it is supposed to be this one.
The GR vs CN maybe doesn't make a difference, but maybe the P022_A022 vs. P015_A030?
Doesn't a working phone portal allow for somehow to get logs/adb etc?
Hello,

Samsung s4 i337 32Gb will only show the Samsung logo when turned on and after about 2 seconds nothing, screen blank , ( New Screen ) No lights , though it vibrates when its first turned on,
For what ever reason if I keep messing with it( take batter in and out) , it will boot all the way, Even then after a short time it turns off again, and that's only after a few days of messing with it..
Any ideas ?
on s side note I am a retired computer /electronic engineer and have an idea how these work, I repair them on the side for clients and so forth, but am at a lose with this one, Its my personal and would love to be able to get pics and so forth off it,,
Thank you !!
Is the phone running a stock Samsung rom? Have you tried reflashing a stock rom or performing a factory wipe?

yes it's stock and No have not re flashed the rom , wont stay on long enough for a rom flash or a system wipe..
Maybe a battery problem? This happens regardless of whether the phone is or is not connected to a power source?

For what ever reason if I keep messing with it( take batter in and out) , it will boot all the way, Even then after a short time it turns off again, and that's only after a few days of messing with it..
Any ideas ?
on s side note I am a retired computer /electronic engineer and have an idea how these work, I repair them on the side for clients and so forth, but am at a lose with this one, Its my personal and would love to be able to get pics and so forth off it,,
Thank you !!

The same thing happened to my i337 after I installed one app (soft keys) and reboot. Samsung logo showed up for a second and then went dark.
Went to recovery and wipe /factory reset twice did not work.
Finally, went to download mode and odin the NB1 firmware. That solved the problem.
I was on OK2 bootloader then. I do not know what bootloader you are on.

It won't stay in download mode either? Was the phone ever dropped? Exposed to moisture? Is it an att phone?

Yes it was dropped, But only form about 2 feet , landed on a shoe and it has a cover, but after that is when I started having issues come to think of it ..

problem is , it wont stay on long enough in down loader mode, Plus I do have things I would like to save if I can.,
I just may have to try and find another 32Gb main board or a broken screen phone type thing and start over..
If it wont stay on, I'm not how the data could be pulled from the phone. If USB debugging was enabled, adb commands may be useful in recovery mode.

I may end up losing the data, So be it..
Would have been nice to figure out what is going on with this one though..
If anyone knows where I can get a i337 32Gb main board, I maybe interested in it..
