I need help, I've installed Alliance rom on my Verizon s5 and now when I perform a shutdown / reboot the phone will not shut down completely, for example, the LED light and buttons stay on. I have to pull the battery in order to restart the phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Just read another review with the same problem. Thanks guys!

So this is my first post because I can normally find what I'm looking for, except for in this case.
First off my phone, Galaxy S4 Model SGH-I337 running Android 4.2.2 rooted. No custom rom installed, i.e. Cyanogenmod. I recently bought some new batteries and a new charger which I had been using for about two weeks before my problem arose.
I came home one night plugged my phone in to charge and woke up to find it unresponsive. I tried a battery pull and found my phone turns on for about 3 seconds showing the samsung custom screen with the padlock only to shut off again. Same thing happens not matter how many times I perform a battery pull. I tried plugging into my computer but the phone is not detected.
I tried a battery pull and booting into safe mode and debugging mode but the phone just shuts off after 3 seconds no matter what.
I'm not sure if this is a true hard brick since when I perform a battery pull the phone starts and the buttons seem to work, at least enough to enter safe or debugging mode.
I have not seen any threads where the phone momentarily turns on after battery pull only to shut off quickly.
Has anyone run into this problem before and is there anyway to fix it???

The phone didn't brick itself. So, if you didn't do anything to it and just found it that way (as you said), I would think it is a hardware problem either with the phone or the battery. Have you tried a different battery? If you rule out a defective battery, I would say it is a hardware problem with the phone.
This used to happen to skyrockets due to stuck power button

This right here ^
My friend has a T-Mobile GS4 and same thing happened to him. It would only turn on when he would pull the battery and put it back in, but it would turn off soon after. Turns out his power button was jammed. He went and go it replaced.
Try this: Pull your battery and put it back in. If your phone turns on momentarily without you pressing anything then the power button is the problem.
Are you able to enter download mode..or recovery?

Is there any way I can take the phone apart and fix this? I don't think returning the phone is an option since my phone is rooted.

Your exact problem just happened to me. Were you able to fix it? I'm dying to know!

There's disassembly guides/videos if you want to try, you could search that and just take a look at the mechanism.

--- This may belong in the Xposed forum, I am uncertain. ---
Hello. Please forgive my ignorance regarding the technical aspects of methods discussed on these forums.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 supplied by Vodafone Australia. This was received today as a replacement for a screen issue I had with my previous S4. On the previous S4, I had rooted using a Saferoot method as read about on this forum. Later I had installed Xposed to use Keepchat and everything was fine. Today I have rooted this replacement phone successfully using the same method, and then moved to install Xposed. The Xposed application required an update, the very first option in the app was red and suggested an update or a reboot, and the reboot did nothing, so I pressed update. The phone turned off but didn't restart. I tried the usual button presses and battery pulls and finally a simple power up using the standard power button started the phone up. It got as far as the lock screen I believe, before shutting down again. It is now unresponsive. It wont turn on, enter the boot menu (multi button holding method) or charge. I believe the battery is quite low at this point, and unable to charge, causing me some consternation. It has now been over 30 minutes with no response.
If anyone could provide a resolution to this issue, I would be extremely thankful.
Regards,
CaleS
Try and ask in this forum my friend good luck

Hello again.
I have an update on my situation.
I left the phone on charge and it eventually turned on by itself. I played around with it for a while and it seemed OK. Eventually it turned off again. I had to pull the battery to get it to turn back on. After starting up again, getting to the lockscreen, it turned off again. This process repeated many times, until I got frustrated.
The next day I thought I'd try a factory reset via volume up + power, and the device managed to stay on long enough for this to complete. After the phone reset, I used it for a while and again it turned off. The same cycle continued.
Perhaps the phone is naturally faulty, despite my rooting attempt, as it was a refurbished model. I am quite happy to return it for another replacement under warranty, however I may not be able to do it as the device is rooted. I would gladly remove the root using stock firmware and Odin, however the phone resets after a few seconds of entering download mode.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Sounds to me you have a faulty power button. It's somehow stuck that's why it even reboots in download mode. It's a common problem for the S4. Try to wedge it or replace it.
if it is refurbished model it might as well be dead battery.
battery sensor detects "low battery" state and shutdown phone saying battery 0% - to protect battery against fully depleted state (damaging to max capacity or even impossible to charge at some point)
if you power it on again it will boot and say it has like 1% left and you will be able to use it for few more moments, but doing so will degrade your battery.
powering it on, going to lock screen for it to shutdown on its own again sounds like weak power source
imagine above scenario happening several times (previous owner of the phone kept "reviving" it after shutdown due to battery 0%)
that would resulted in battery able to hold only fraction of its standard power - allowing you to just boot your phone before it shuts down.
I had similar situation with my laptop battery (this one was on AC all the time) - battery was so damaged that laptop was shutting down at windows login screen - if booted on battery alone.
When booted on AC and unplugged it said 100% battery, that went down to 0% in a matter of around 2 minutes, when laptop shuts down.
So my stock LG G2 just suddenly stopped working last night. The battery died, and I haven't been able to boot it up since, even after charging overnight. The only kind of response I get from it is if I hold the power button, there is a short vibrate every 2-3 seconds while I'm holding it. Sometimes after ~15-20 seconds it will stop vibrating, other times it will keep vibrating every few seconds until I give up on holding the button. Other than the vibration, there is absolutely no kind of response from the phone, no charging LED or anything like that. The same thing happens regardless of whether it is plugged in and charging or not. I've tried connecting it to my computer, but the device just isn't recognized whatsoever, so I can't use adb to try to boot to recovery or anything like that. I've rooted my G2 in the past, but I believe that I've had it replaced since then and the new device has always been completely stock.
I'm completely at a loss for what to do, it seems as though the device just bricked itself. I'm hesitant to try to get a replacement device through Verizon, as I'm only 4 months from an upgrade and will be getting a completely new phone then anyway. Does anyone have any idea what could possibly have gone wrong or how I could go about fixing it? If I have to wipe everything that's fine, as I was going to root it and install a custom ROM soon anyway.
Right now, my only idea is to get something to hold the power button down and let the phone vibrate until the battery dies, but that will take a while and isn't too likely to fix the problem. I'd greatly appreciate any advice from anyone who might know how to fix this.
Hi Guys,
I am wondering if anyone is having this problem or has had this problem and knows how to fix it.
Basically what happens is the battery is over 70 percent and when I attempt to use the camera whether it be taking a picture or video the phone will shut right off, then when I attempt to restart it by pressing the power button, it will not power up.
The only way to get it to turn on is to remove the battery and reinstall it. I di notice that the back of the phone is very warm.
Here is what I have tried, originally I was thinking it had something to do wit ht he sd card failing, so I removed it and turned the phone on but the problem keeps happening. I also tried leaving it alone to see if letting it cool down would fix the problem but again it keeps happening.
I do not want to restore the phone but I might just have to do it.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried taking a picture with the phone plugged into an outlet to see if it's a faulty battery?
Bad battery mine was doing same thing, Everytime I opened snap chat or try to take a picture at 50ish percent phone would shut down. New battery solved the issue for me.
Hello there,
I've a cellphone (non-smartphone) which is important to me, after a recharge it started to freeze and shut down then the screen turn on and shuts down again and stay like that.
It only work normally if I hard pressed on the board, I also tried to change battery but still the same.
Do you have any idea what could it be and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
