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.

Is your phone charged? The very basic question.
Put it on charging for a while try getting in the download mode then.
If still no succes..then there is a way too...

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

try booting into download mode if at all possible and try flashing a stock ROM via odin!!
hit Thanks if it helped!!
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've received my new battery and tried it but the same result so i don't know what could be the next problem maybe you people have got some other ideas what the problem could be? (hope so)
I've made a video of the problem. Don't mind the screen it's broken for half a year so far and the phone was still functional. Last sunday this problem appeared and i don't know what to do so far...

Good day to all!
I am experiencing a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Y and I badly need your help. This is what happened.
This morning my phone shutdown and kept on opening only until the Samsung Galaxy Y logo. So what I did was removed the battery and put it back again. At around 12 o'clock, I kept doing the same procedure and my phone opened. I was able to send messages to my friends. After 30 minutes, my phone died again. AFTER THAT INCIDENT, THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN IT IS BY REMOVING THE BATTERY, AND BY PUTTING IT BACK AGAIN, IT BOOTS UP TO THE SAMSUNG GALAXY Y LOGO ONLY! then it turns off. In order for it to open again, I'll have to remove the battery then back again. But it keeps on dying. It only reaches the Samsung Galaxy Y logo for around 5 seconds.
I tried putting it on Download Mode, but after 5 seconds it dies again.
Thank you,
Hoping for you replies, ASAP!
Did you try flashing stock?

If I'll bring it to the service center, will they know if I rooted my device and changed its ROM?

Yes. And rooted phone= warranty exploited. So, as far as you have a stock rom( non rooted) you're good to go.
Just tell them you tried to update using kies and it got stuck.

I'm not using SGY's stock rom. I'm using Hyperion 8. What will they do to me if they found out that my phone is rooted?
If they find out and your phone's under warranty then they will not consider the warranty. Since you can't flash the stock rom just tell them that your phone got stuck in between the process of updating the firmware via kies. They will try to flash the stock rom via other methods and i guess then they won't know. I'm not really sure but am telling of what all I've read on online forums.
Good day fellow XDA developers and members.
I got an update with my phone. I think the power button got stuck. Why?
1.) I can access download mode with just pressing Volume down + home button
- *it boots in Download mode but closes after 5 seconds*
2.) Once it boots into the Samsung Galaxy Y Logo it closes after 4 or 5 seconds.
- I think that can only be triggered if you are still holding the power button.
3.) Every time I insert the battery, my phone turns on by itself BUT only until the Samsung Galaxy Y logo then it shuts down.
What do you guys think? As far as I know, you can't access download mode with just volume down + home button.
Thank you for your support! PLEASE KEEP ON HELPING ME! STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS!

Hey guys,
First of all, I searched for my problem but couldn't find a solution anywhere. This is the most unusual kind of "bootlogo stuck". My phone shows the bootlogo for several seconds, then turns off. I go to the recovery mode (CWM), it appears ("reboot system now", "...", all that), but then again the bootlogo appears and after several seconds the phone turns off. I go to the download mode, it appears, but then again, I see the bootlogo and my phone turns off. So obviously flashing the stock rom turned out to be a failure in this case. I first thought that maybe I needed to recharge my phone. But when I plugged the charger, there was no display of the battery icon. I left it like that, hoping it was charging, but the same problem occurred after a while when I checked. Oh, and one more thing, whenever, I took out the battery and put it back again, the bootlogo showed up (even when I hadn't touched the power or any button!).
It's been several months since I detached myself from Android development. The last ROM that I flashed was Hyperion 8 four months ago, I don't exactly remember the kernel that came with it.
If power button seems to b the issue, you can fix it by *slightly* striking its side against a hard surface(may b table or wall). You might not believe but this method is 99% working.
But do this only when u r left with no choice. Don't get me wrong

Hey guys
I have the following problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505
Yesterday i was just playing around with my phone and suddenly it got a few laggs
It was stuck for about 10 seconds and then it was working again
I thougth this would be not that big deal and recovered back to stock rom coming from 4.3 AOSP ROM
A few minutes later my phone stuck againg and vibrated the whole time and wouldn't stop
It didn't react on any button pressing so i took the battery out
From this time on it seems like hard-bricked.
I can press the power button as long as i like to, but the phone doesn't even react
Then i plugged it to charge the phone.. Suddenly i was able to boot up the phone, but after 30 seconds
it started vibrating again and i had to take out the battery again
Now It's completely dead and I don't know what to do because i have still custom-recovery installed
and flash counter not on '0'
Maybe someone can help me out
It sounds to me you got a faulty battery. So my first step would be to try a different battery.

So was it the battery?
Okay about two weeks ago I updated to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2(I think that's the one?) on my s4 and I've hated the update. I decided to root my phone using muniz method and it worked perfectly. I even changed to the nc1.
So, after using my phone without issues for two weeks roughly I noticed last night it started to randomly turn off while texting. It would just auto restart but it happened every 5-10 minutes. After an hour it started happening more often so I plugged my phone in. Now my phone will not even turn on. When I insert the battery the samsung start screen appears for about a second and then goes black. I have to pull out the battery for the phone to do ANYTHING. If the phone is plugged in while trying this and I insert the battery I literately get NOTHING. No samsung screen or anything.
Things I've tried.
Swapped the battery.
boot into odin
boot into safemode
plugged it in while trying to boot
Swapped the usb cord
taken out sim card
Some things to note is that I did not install any new app before this had happened. It was working the same for about two weeks with no issues.
When plugging in my phone to charge or anything I never get an led light at the top of my phone.
I seriously need some help with this. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Yeah using stock wall charger from a wall, computer, and even a different charger.
Is download mode the one where you hold vol down + power + home?
If so it brings up the screen that asks you to press the volume up but it dies before it can ever make it to the downloading screen...

If it won't start they won't know it's rooted. They'll try to flash the firmware which will remove root if they're successful, so again they won't know

I couldn't do factory reset because the phone wouldn't stay on long enough to do ANYTHING.
So as an update to this...
I was on my way to the closest store with samsung experience which is about an hour away from me and when I almost get there my phone RANDOMLY turns on...
I couldn't be more pissed and happy at the same time. So, obviously I try messing with it a bit and it shuts off again. This time I can get it to turn on after about 15 tries. Long enough for me to do a factory reset!
It lasted a good 30 minutes to an hour and it shut off again.
Hardware issue or is anyone else having this issue with 4.4.2 nc1?

Okay so I brought it by best buy and the guys couldn't flash it or do anything to it because it wouldn't turn on at all. They tried several batteries etc.
So, I decided to try the phone doctors and the guy thought it could be a malfunction in the power button because the phone tries to boot up any time you put the battery in. You don't have to hit any buttons and you can't insert the battery without it trying to power on.
I'll cross my fingers that's the problem and they phone doctor guy told me he has never seen this issue with an s4 but it was really common in s3's.
I go back in two hours to see if they have fixed it!

The s2 had this problem too and one way to confirm it was to pull the battery and put it back in. If it booted right away it was the power button. So it sounds like you're on to something.

Well, I was really hoping for the best and I thought they really had my problem figured out. When I got back to the store they told me they basically checked and rewired everything they could and it was still doing this. They told me they can't fix it and didn't charge me anything.
It looks like I have a lemon...

I've been informed my phone might still be under factory warranty. Just out of speculation, if you root your phone and it ends up malfunctioning what would they do if you send it in for warranty? I'm not sure if my issue is hardware or software related at all.
Hello
My S4 was working fine suddenly reboots and in was stock in the samsung logo and very hot on the screen and below the camera , so I took the battery off waited for 20 min and took the battery on and tried to turn it on but nothing happens non samsung logo no nothing. So I charged like for 3 hours below the camera was hot again but it didn`t turn on. I tried changing the battery my wife´s S4, turned it on and same thing nothing happens no even the logo.... after a while I tried to turn it on again but it was warm below the camera and again it didn´t turn on. Suddenly after an hour the samsung logo appear and turned on but it was getting hot really fast after a minute or two. I turned it off waited until it cool down a bit and tried to turned it on again ..... but again nothing happens not even the samsung logo.
I guess I have a hardware issue I have had the phone for two years, of course I have dropped it before a bit of water on the screen ... not recently but in 2 years it had gone through a lot.
So I have two questions.
1. What might be my hardware problem and how to test it.
2. Is there any way to backup the information that is not in sd card.
Also the things a have tried so far.
1. change battery with other that work fine.
2. tried the battery of my phone on another phone ... it worked fine
3. took the battery off and hold the power button for a minute.
4. A lot of prayers.
Also the phone was rooted like a year ago.
thanks in advance
Looks like a hardware problem but try to reflash the stock ROM for see if that works :highfive:
