heya guys,
I'm on stock FW on my GS4S i9505 and yesterday morning i update to 4.3 OTA.
It was working all day just fine without issues or lag for the matter.
Today morning when i woke up, my phone was plugged into the charger and was turned off.
I turned it on by couple of mins later it would freeze and wont unlock, just black screen with a red light flashing on the top left of the phone.
I had to pull out the battery and put it back everytime i wanted to try and boot it.
I did that 3 times within 10mins and the 4th time it just stopped turning on all together.
Anyone has this issue and maybe can give tips on how to fix this if possible?
Thanks in advance.

You will need to go to SamMobile.com and download the official odin flash firmware
for your phone's exact model and flash it using Odin.
That will get the phone into good working condition with the stock 4.2 firmware.
After that you can use the phones built-in updating system again and most likely it
will work just fine. Just be sure that the battery is at least half full before the phone
starts the auto-update process.
Perhaps you installed some app or game from the playstore which did not play nice
with your phone and caused the 4.3 update to get stuck or it could have been the
battery if it did not have enough charge in it.
You should try to get the phone into download mode to see if it can be Odin flashed.
Hold the volume down key at the same time while holding the the power key down
for 20-30 seconds and see if it goes into download mode.
If it does you have nothing to worry about.
NOTE: before trying download mode be sure to remove the battery for 5 seconds
and replace it, making sure the phone is in a power off state before trying to boot
it into download mode.

Thanks for the reply dude.
I'd love to do that, but i dont see how this is possible since the phone doesnt boot up at all anymore.
Any ideas?
Maybe your battery is dead? Because it's known issue on Galaxy S4 phones.
Try another charger.
I tried with my wife's S4 battery and my colleague's S4 battery.
Also tried with 3 different charges that came with the S4, no dice... :/
I had to take it back to the store, it was under warranty still.. they are sending it back to Samsung and will get it back in 2-3 weeks, same phone repaired or a refurb i guess.
After doing more search and with the help of some falks from #Android @ EFNET, we came to the conclusion that its an issue with the EMMC chip just like the first generation of Note 2 and S3.
What's pissing me off is that Samsung fixed the issue on Note 2 with a new patch of phones, so newer phones didnt have the EMMC issue as far as i can tell. SO why the hell would they still use it for the S4 is beyond me.
Just a word of advice, if this happens to anyone, make sure you run a backup as soon as it boots back up the first time.
In my case, it booted 3 times by removing the battery and putting it back and froze 3 times, there was no 4th.
If i tried to backup the phone the first or second time it booted, i could still have my data to be restored on the new repaired phone.
This should be marked as closed unless some other people with the same issue want to discuss it here.

It could be the battery itself. They do go bad. Check it to see if it has any bulging.
Hello everybody,
I have a rooted S4 LTE (I9505) and the phone was working perfectly for a year and a half, with different roms. I've been running the same rom for about half a year now with no problems. A couple of days ago i gave it to a friend and we did the factory wipe you can do from settings. At that point everything was still working fine. Now to the problem: He was playing a game on the phone and he drained the battery completely so the phone shut down. He charged the phone for about 10 to 15 minutes then tried turning it on. There was the standard Samsung logo and after that wide white horizontal lines started to appear from top to bottom. When they got to the end of the screen everything turned green. After that he turned it off and tried the standard things you try; removing the battery etc. After that i got the phone back at a bar we were at. I turned it on and the green lines appeared, so i turned it off and tried booting download mode and it worked. So i turned it off and tried booting recovery thinking it was a rom issue ( Crashed rom or something, idk.), but it wouldn't. So i tried booting download mode again with no success. Then i left it for a couple of hours and somehow managed to get to download mode. After that the phone shut down as my battery was too low, so i charged it and now there's those green lines again, but this time with no Samsung logo, just the lines...
Does anybody here know what the problem would be?
Sorry for the long description but i wanted to explain everything. xD
I can add pictures if you want me to
Thanks for your help in advance,
Brezo
Almost positive that this is a hardware issue, primarily a bad GPU.

But when i got into download mode everything was fine. And i think that uses the gpu aswell. Please correct me if i'm wrong
Download mode doesn't require the GPU to do its work, which is why both it and the recovery function normally while Android falters. However, to be certain, flash stock firmware via Odin. If this is a software issue the green lines will go away.

Okay. Thanks for the reply I'll post an update when I flash stock firmware.
I installed stock ROM on my phone. Everything was working fine but then it started to lag. After lagging for a bit it just froze up. The background went black and the phone became unresponsive. I cant get it to turn on in recovery or down load mode. The way it froze makes me wonder if the phone will ever restart. Is there anything I can do to get it into download mode or recovery even though its completely dead?

So, I know this phone is old asf but I can't find any tutorial and I really don't want to flash my phone for the 30th time again.
I just tried installing LastPass Authenticator (for 2FA), and when I launched it my phone just turned off, I tried booting it up and it went past the splash screen to the T-Mobile logo, and after that just shut off.
Now it'll just stay on the Splash screen for a bit, it won't even get to the "Samsung" animation, and just shuts off. It was stock ROM as well as stock recovery as well.
Don't know why this is happening, but its the second time something similar has happened. I really don't want to reset the phone due to the data I have on here, so any help is appreciated.
