[Q] Phone Bricked/Dead - Not even download mode - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi ,
Am running PAC 4.4 ; My AT&T s4 is rooted. Everything was running fine except for the occasional bugs and restarts cause of them. But today suddenly, it just went fro sleep mode to off.When i turn it back on; just vibrates and displays the bootlogo and shuts off again. I will have to remove the battery and put it back in for it to start again
Tried going into download mode but it just shuts off when i make a choice of pressing the volume up to confirm , sometime after going into download mode.
It wont start with the usb connected. Any help is appreciated.Thanks

[Q] Help - Please

I'm not a noob and have tried everything I can think of - hooking my phone up to my pc via odin and adb with zero results. Tried plugging on my phone overnight, etc etc.
My problem - I was at work and took a photo with the camera app, the camera crashed, then I opened the gallery. I went to reboot my phone and nothing happens. Now when I try to power on the phone, nothing happens. I do a battery pull and then put the battery back in and it boots up for no more than 3 seconds to the Samsung logo and then turns off. If I try booting into recovery, same thing - just turns off and the same situation if I try to boot into download mode. Has anyone encountered this problem? Note that I am running a custom recovery - Philz CWM. I fear the worst; my phone is perma bricked.
edit; FIXED - Faulty power button. Power button will stay in and not pop out without prying at it.

[Q] [Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 GT-S7710] Not your regular bootlop

Hello,
My phone only turns on if battery is present and it's plugged in to a power source. It does not power while only on a power source.
When it turns on for 5 seconds a Kies Firmware Restore warning is shown and then it tunrs off and powers back on again, when trying to enter download mode it does the same thing, showing the download screen only for 5 seconds, which renders any ROM modifications useless...
What should I do?
I also tried the unbrick plug but it didn't work.
I have same issue with a friends mobile, i am trying to help him out but it just goes off like 5 secs after it turns on, not enough time for recovery flash, the mobile was stock and he proberly in his drunken party fun accidently put it into to download mode and the power went off.
Pretty sure that is how, atm i am trying to charge the battery to make sure it aint the battery that is dead.
up please
Hey, if people are still stuck with this, here is how u can fix :
Buy a new battery and flash, or solder/tape 2 wirer to a usb cable that u plug to a power source and then flash (thats what i done)

Extreme brick on lg g2 D803

Hey everyone,
This morning i was doing a backup on my lg d803 straight from twrp and the screen turned off. I left it like that for about 10 minutes to make sure the backup would finish.
However, the screen still wont turn on. The phone rebooted once into the lg logo and turned off. It is now stuck like this. It won't boot back into anything
-The phone won't turn on.
-It can't boot into recovery or download modes.
-It it not recognized by my pc in any way (win 10 64 bit with LG drivers installed).
-Holding the power button does not turn it on, not even to the lg logo.
-the button combo for recovery mode does nothing either.

I bricked mine last week. Got it into dowload mode (don't remember, google it) used lg mobile support tool and did recover phone from options and worked like a charm. Didn't even lose any of my installed apps.
Maybe battery level is low
Download mode did not work for me with low battery
I charged for about 2 hours and still could not get into download mode. i tried holding the volume up button while pluging it into the pc and nothing happened on the pc or the phone. No connect sound or anything.
Charging and using combo's don't always work, you should ideally boot into download mode before attaching. Perhaps you should try and make a MacGyver cable with a spare/broken usb charger to charge the battery directly - in-case the port or something is broken.

S5 with weird issues!! help!

Hello.
I have an S5 SM-g900m from claro DR.
This phone was working perfectly until it got messed up by its own.
The phone was turned on and working, i went to check the time but the screen wouldn't turn on.
removed the battery put it back inside and tried to turn it on. I got samsung logo after a few seconds it vibrates shows a thin line and reboots, samsung logo again. it's stuck on that.
tried to reboot into recovery mode and it wouldn't let me. i get the same problem. reboots. I can get to download mode.
Problem #2:
Most of the time, the screen wont turn on. when it doesn't turn on the phone boots normally. from what i guess i can get into recovery mode. I have confirmed that i can get into download when the screen doesn't turn on.
Things that i've tried:
Flash the stock firmware: 5.0
Flash stock firmware for the same model but other region: 6.0.1. With screen turned on, it wont boot. with screen off it boots normally.
Downgrading: no luck.
Don't know whats wrong or what to do.

D802 dead, data restore

Hey,
I have D802 16GB with pre-last CM version. Wanted to restart the phone (no mods nor installing apps before, just a normal restart) and the trouble started:
-it was stucking on LG logo and then screen turning off; sometimes it came to CM boot animation followed by turned off screen
-managed to boot the phone in safe mode in order to backup files from the phone, it freezed and turned off. Booted in safe mode few times again, the freeze was coming faster and faster
-once or twice phone booted up normally, freezed very soon
-booted to safe mode couple of more times. I noticed the phone was freezing shortly after releasing the volume buttons.
-booted up in normal mode, was holding the volume up button during the boot. The phone worked normally, after couple of mins released the volume button. Few mins after the phone freezed.
-LG logo was shown few more times out of dozens of attempts with different power button and volume buttons combinations
-LG logo showed for a short moment after pluging the charger
-now nothing happens at all, even when connected to charger or PC. The computer doesn't detect any device.
I really want to get the data that are in internal memory of the phone. What should I do? What happened with my phone?
Found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
but will the internal memory data be affected? Moreover, there is written:
12 After attaching buttons plate,check your device going into download mode, and use flash tool to flash stock rom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On the phone is CM which is not stock ROM, can I proceed?
Each advice will be much appreciated
