Hmm wierd it is! See whether Odin recognizes your phone. If it does then flash stock firmware. If the recovery of your phone is accessible then you can wipe data reset. All the best.

i know the problem it has hardware issue

Try going into recovery and do a Wipe / Data Factory Reset

You have a damaged battery or a hardware problem on your phone.

Is your battery arched ?

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...

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

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.

[HELP!] SGY GT-S5360 Fails to start

I'm really sorry if I asked this question again if it may have been asked earlier, but i really need to get answers ASAP because I could not use the internet all of the time.
Days after I rooted my SGY GT-S5360, it would no longer start and it would not charge either(both by charger method and PC method of charging) . I also tried going to Recovery Mode but then again it does not. So I tried charging my battery using a universal charger for a short while. After doing so, I placed again my battery to my device and tried turning it on. It would turn on but only until the "Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S5360" logo and then it would turn off again. I tried taking the battery out and then putting it in again, but the same scenario happens.
I am sure that I am not on a BOOTLOOP issue because it shows no symptoms of it. And I would not want to believe that I am Hard Bricked because my device still boots only until the "Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S5360" logo. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM
By the way, I have not flashed any ROMs or Tweaks or Updates on my device and I am still on my Stock ROM.]

Samsung s4 i337 32Gb wont boot

Hello,
Maybe someone can help..
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..

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.

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..

[Solved] Cannot use battery power on recovery and system

So, here's my situation, my phone suddenly turned off last night while installing a game, when i tried to power it up, it "blinking" on the boot logo, it keeps turned on and off, so i reckon its battery has run out, so i charge it, then it works, it can boot to system, after it shows around 80% i unplugged the charger but the phone then suddenly turned off and again, blinking on the boot logo.. so i charge it again just to see it boot to system and shows 80% battery.. i tried to charge it to 100%, but at 100%, the phone suddenly died, again..
at first i thought it might be a battery problem, or power circuit thingy, but here's the catch, it can hold for 30 mins + on bootloader mode..
can someone tell me what is wrong with my phone?
EDIT: flashed stock ROM and Recovery, still no use
EDIT2: Did the QPST as suggested as Rwepradeep, still blinking on lenovo logo
EDIT3: Solved! Battery was the actual problem

okay so i did the qpst thing, it can hold on at download mode until it finished, then after that the phone reboots, and it happened again...
i don't get this phone, it works well on bootloader and download mode, but not so long at recovery.. not to mention i can't even boot into system (can't even past the boot logo lol)
Okay so, i took it to Lenovo Service Center, they told me something wrong with the battery, apparently it hold up on bootloader because the bootloader mode didn't took so much power, so even a broken battery should hold up a little.. Changed the battery, now it works well, thanks for all the help..
