I took out battery, phone is off, plugged in usb cable and I get the icon of the phone with exclamation point and PC. I never was able to get to download mode without using adb reboot download, but obviously now, i cant get to adb because it doesnt find the device anymore.

Don't worry about the icon, just do the same procedure and it'll do on download mode

But you can't because it doesnt see the device... im freaking out...

after you pull the battery and put back in, hold down the up and down volume buttons, THEN plug the usb in WHILE holding the volume buttons.

just imaging the icon with the phone and the pc is the battery icon... and do the same procedure... you will get to download mode again. and restart your computer and try.

That happened to me and just replaced my phone with tmobile and got a brand new one, yrust me nothing works when is in that image I gave up and called tmobile.

I was on Vibrant9 (I liked that one the best).
I hope I didnt kill this, if I did, then many people are going to

I've had my phone with this icon numerous times and had no problems getting back to download mode, like the previous poster said, just pretend its the battery icon and repeat the steps

Nope, this is not working, did this 10 times. I put battery back in, hold up.down then plug usb while holding, the screen keeps coming back the same. But like i keep saying, i was NEVER able to get to download mode before. Must have tried it 200 times.

take the battery out, put it back in. Plug the device and when you see the icon, hold vol up and down and power, as soon as the screen goes black remove your finger from the power button, but KEEP holding the vol. buttons until the dl screen comes on

Batt and cable off, plug cable hold buttons then battery in.
Remember u broke it u bought it, but ofcourse tmo will have to fix something U broke.

oh well, no matter what i try , it keeps going back to same screen. This is freaking frustrating. In my reading on here, there seems to be some people that are not able to get into donwload mode from the buttons. If this is the case for me, do i have ANY other options then bringing it to be Tmobile. I have only had the phone for 3 weeks, but i really want to get it resolved without bringing it in, i have lots of stuff on phone (i have backup off the phone).

Try all the steps here if you haven't already:

You know that they can probably fix it and that its not really BRICKED then when they find out that he had Superuser.apk, they'll add a fee to his bill and that would be even worse.

Nexus S 4G Hardware failing?

Had this phone since launch and I think she's finally ready to go..
Your thoughts
First issue: Woke up this morning to my phone stuck in horizontal mode (CM9).. No amount of reboots, cache clearing, display rotation setting playing with would stop it. It would reboot straight to landscape mode.
Second issue: Tried pulling the battery.. When inserting the battery the phone booted right up without me even having to hit power.
Third issue: I removed the battery again, this time for longer and now when I insert the battery the animated charging icon appears (without being on external power)
Fourth issue: When the phone was powered up it would randomly not recognize it was on external power even when plugged in.
Fifth issue: Reading the writing on the wall I did a quick unroot return to stock and locked.. After this rotation works fine again, it seems to charge but if I pull the battery and insert it, it will still show the white animated charging battery icon for about 5 seconds. I can even press the power button quickly to bring it up on demand like it's really on external power when it isn't.

You can remove the second "issue"
It happens on most phones... normally when u pull the battery and quickly put it back in

Yeah.. I had it down to that myself.
Took it to Sprint.. He tried blaming it on my battery (because it would take 10-20 seconds to even acknowledge it was charging after plugging it in)
So, I demonstrated how I can make it "charge" without being connected to power by making the powered down charging icon appear when it was unplugged. He laugh with a bewildered look on his face and just decided he'd send me a reconditioned (he said new but the box serial number starts with "RECD") and also a new battery. The whole day before I received my replacement my old phone was getting worse and worse.. Random reboots, and odd thin vertical lines when on Automatic backlight in bright sun..
New phone is working as it should now.. I can't complain. What's it been? 9 months since release? And this is the first time something went wrong with it and Sprint had a new phone at my door in 24hrs. Love good, quick service.

Take cm9 off and return to stock.
See if it functions normally.
This just sounds like a case of user error to me.
If you don't wanna go back to stock.....restore a known good backup....wipe and reflash your current rom.....

I did return it to fully unrooted 100% OTA stock. You think I took a phone to Sprint to have diagnostics run on it rooted and with CM9 on it? :laugh: It wasn't user error.

I don't know ya by name so.....
If you browse these forums often you see all kinds of dumb things. I just usually assume the worst to start.

Phone Won't Turn On After Reboot

My phone has the 11-20 build of Gummy on it, I just updated the firmware to MJA (hoping to get data) and it was running well for the past hour. I rebooted to recovery to try installing the Euroskank rom and now my phone will not turn on, it had more than 90% battery when I rebooted so I know that is not the issue. When I plug or unplug it from my computer, it will acknowledge that something was plugged in (by making a sound) but not show what was plugged in. Any recommendations as far as what I can do to fix this?

I held down the power button long enough to watch a couple plays in the Ole Miss game, pulled the battery and put it back in, no luck. I plugged it in and did not get any battery notification. I did find that by holding the power button while it is plugged into my computer it seems to power on and off on some level because it would alternate plugged in and unplugged sounds, still with nothing else being shown like the option to view files or see anything on the phone screen. Is there anything else I can do?

Well all you can really do is make sure your USB cable charger is working, let it charge without touching it for several hours, could also be a battery problem /hardware problem? Any one else? Have any advice??
I have bricked my phone pretty bad a few times, but I have always at least had the battery icon on the front show up,, hopefully a full charge well cure it,, just Checking but by power you mean the top right botton if the phone is facing you?

Not from what I can tell. The screen doesn't show anything, the LED doesn't light up. Is there a trick where I could trigger it using ODIN or HEIMDAL?

Put battery in phone and charge for 2 to 3 hours without turning phone on.
Take battery out of phone and leave it out for 1/2 hour.
Then put battery back in and see if you can get into 'Download Mode' - Hold Home Button AND Volume Down Button at same time and while keeping them held Press the Power Button till you get screen asking if you want to go into Download mode by confirming with a Volume Up press.
If you can get there maybe you can use one of the Odin/heimdal methods to recover.
Or even more simply - Odin Philz recovery and flash an MJA ROM - That's something I'd try first if you can do that.

I just charged my phone over night, pulled the battery for an hour and still no response from my phone what so ever. I would be ok with a total wipe if at all possible at this point as it does not seem to be booting at all. Could this be a bootloader issue somehow? I updated the firmware not long before this issue occurred and it booted up from that for awhile and this issue started after trying to reboot.

At this point, your best bet is to take it to Sprint and get a warranty replacement. Not much you can do if it won't turn on

Ok...just curious does anyone here have Ting and have tips about doing this through them? I don't actually have Sprint directly but use Ting.
EDIT:
For anyone following this, potentially in a similar situation, I found this service which I hope to hear back from soon, it says they can fix hard bricked phones on their site:
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-jtag-brick-repair/#ProductReviews

My sister's S4, which is running stock unrooted 4.3 is going through the exact same thing. The Sprint corporate store told her that she needs to have it serviced by Samsung >.>

Why don't you make a usb jig and force it into download mode,I think I seen a video on you tube on how to make one,I haven't tried it myself but I heard they work

Just checking, didn't see this confirmed. The screen is non responsive currently, but you said that using the power button yields USB acknowledgement..
Have you tried a complete power down and boot in to Download mode (Power + Volume Down + Home) and then plugging it in and seeing if ODIN recognizes it in Com? It is possible (although not super probable) that you are experience a flash screen/screen on issue that could potentially be repaired by a reflash.. I know a lot of the 4.3 updated were experiencing lack of flash screen but if left alone the phone would still boot.
Worth a try, if you haven't already.. Stranger things have worked for me in the past.

We did the first two steps you mentioned, got it to turn on, then it it did the same thing again after a little while. We repeated the two steps, factory reset, and all has been well for the past 24 hours. Thanks

Glad you got it working!
And thanks for reporting back here so that others may be helped. Keep the comunnity alive.

Yeah, I've been seeing other people having similar problems after updating even on other carriers. My guess would be that the problem is related to going from 4.2 to 4.3 coupled with user data/cache of system apps and Knox, but I really have no idea. Anyway, Thanks again

Well scratch that, it's back to its usual behaviour. Could flashing via odin fix this or could it be a hardware issue? I still feel like it's related to the 4.3 update.

Re-flaching Odin may fix it.
But it could very well be a hardware issue. I've had a couple of phone with batteries that were fairly new have this issue. Got new battery, charged and replace it and all worked.

[Q] S4 wont turn on

Well mine S4 turned of last night it freezed and it turned off. I'm on Broodroms Pre Final 4.4.4. After that it turned on and shows only the S4 splash screen and then it turns off again and it won't turn on. After i pulled out the battery and placed it back then it boots but then again it shows only the S4 splash screen and then it turns off again. I've read some things on the internet that it maybe can be a dead battery that is causing this problem. Or maybe it is an another problem maybe that you XDA members can help me it would be great :fingers-crossed:

If u can boot to recovery, flash your stock official rom. Should be fixed after that.
Or you can also flash your official rom in Odin.

That happened to me once and reason was because the phone was not charging (even if USB has power supplied).
To solve this, I first removed it from the samsung charger and charged it using a laptop or computer for approximately 10 minutes.
That will get it charging

I've tried to connect it to my laptop but it won't charge unfortunately. I'm also not possible to get it in to download mode it shutdown after a few seconds. And it wil only turn on If I remove the battery and replace it the phone will vibrate, show the Galaxy S4 splash screen for a second or two, then it turns off again. Searching on the internet people say that it's a faulty battery so i could try that method and if that is not working i think it's something with the mainbord (i hope not)

Change the battery AND/OR
Try a USB JIG then. The final thing that can be done. Heard it works with i9500 too.
Buy yourself a USB JIG from ebay or something and try getting in the download mode. It costs less than INR200.

Well i finally found the problem it was the power button that was jammed the whole time so removed the power button thing from the mid frame and the problem was solved so now i need to go to a phone repair shop and maybe they can solder a new power button switch on the mainbord thank you for your help and this thread can be closed now.

Samsung galaxy s7 edge wont get passed the att logo screen.. HELP

Iv done all i could find on here to do, please heop me get my phone to boot up!!!

Perhaps you should give a bit more info. What were you doing before you got this issue. Were you updating, are you*rooted, what version of firmware and whose network are you on.

Sorry, I am rooted and I am with att, it was Working fine until I tried to put xposedon it , after I did that it went into this boot loop. I used Odin to root and it rooted fine and still worked. Then I attempted to put xposedon and it messed it up. I'm on att and 6.0.1. Let me know if you need to know anything else. Thank you

Tried goin back to factory
I also tried using Odin to go back to the original firm ware, now maybe I did something wrong but I t failed everytime I did it. Any help would be appreciated

When the same thing happened to me, I was stuck/frozen on the AT&T logo screen, I left the phone to drain all the way down. When it finally drained the battery and shut down, I was able to plug in the phone to my computer and get back to the download screen. I let it charge up a little bit, then I Odin'd it back to stock (PI2). I have since been unable to root again, but the same thing happened before. It was a couple months before I tried rooting again. At that time, I was successful. Someone else may have a more elegant solution.

Couldn't you just have tried a manual reboot? Just hold power and volume hardware keys for 12 seconds. Once it resets enter into download mode.
