[Q] Is my phone bricked? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy S4 (US Cellular R970) that I installed TWRP on and tried to install the nexus boot animation, cyangenmod, and gapps. I flashed them on the phone using twrp touch and it gave me no errors. I tried to boot my phone and it was stuck loading the cyangenmod boot screen so i turned it off and went to bed because i was tired. It was on the charger but it didn't go past the empty battery with the loading sign in the center but i figured nothing of it. When i woke up it hadn't charged at all and now it doesn't boot into recovery mode so i cant restore the system. Is there anything I can do, computer wise to reset my phone? I can enter Download mode. I cannot charge my battery and it is at 0%.

Hello, your device is soft-bricked, nothing dangerous

You need to charge your battery or maybe you can go into download mode while plugged into the charger and flash a stock rom. Then you can charge your phone while it's off.

Battery is OK, kernel doesn't work so battery can't be charged in lpm mode. All that he should do is to reflash stock through Odin

I know. But he says his battery is at 0%. Thus at the moment it's impossible for him to flash a stock rom.

[Q] Google icon bootloop

Then I turn on the phone google logo appears, stays for few secs then phone turn offs, after a sec it turns on again with a google logo and it goes like this infinitely. I can't get into recovery, because the same happens if i click Recovery in fastboot. It fixes after charging the battery a bit, probably my battery was dead before, but today I fully charged phone, tried to root my phone so I unlocked bootloader and when I needed to factory data reset, in recovery mode i got red triangle, I turned the phone on and off and got this bootloop again.
Any ideas on how to fix?
EDIT: Finally i turned it on, rooted the phone installed franco kernel, hybryd radio, and ParanoidAndroid, with bad gapps, reinstalled good gapps and now the phone does it again, except it doesnt restart, just freezes at google logo screen
After bootloader is unlocked flash a custom recovery through fastboot, boot to new recovery, wipe all, flash ROM of choice
If this doesn't work then wipe all in fastboot and flash ROM through fastboot, but a working recovery is nice to have

[HELP!] After E5 bootloops and left it for a day, it won't turn on!

My device is E500H, it turned bootloop. But then, I am confident because I know how to fix it so I download the firmware to fix it throught ODIN. But when I try to fix it and switch to download mode, IT WONT SWITCH (After I left it for almost 24 hrs). I thought it's BATTERY IS LOW. So I charged it for an hour, and after it I check it again but there still no response. -_- WHAT HAPPENED? How can I fix this? This is my first time to encounter this and first time to post here because really need urgent help.
Solved
Since its a bootloop try draining the battery fully. Then connect your charger. Immediately before the boot logo apears hold the three buttom combo for recovery mode. Wipe data and cache and then reboot. Hope I helped

False alarm, yea you are right. It was drained. Haha. Though, after I flashed the firmware the bootloops still persist. -_- Tried many times flashing via Odin but when it reboots, the problem is still there.

You have to factory reset via recovery.
Remove cache from recovery.

When it stuck on the animation then press volume down+power+home button together for some time , it will again go into download mode , then flash previous rom which you were using earlier ,After flashing previous rom factory reset then wipe data /cashe . Now again flash rom which you want to install.

I experienced the same problem in my galaxy E7. I had 87% charge when i flashed the new update and it stuck in a bootloop.
Drained the battery. Connected charger and went to recovery before it started. Cleared cache and did factory reset. Started normally after that.

Even Stock Rom doesn't fix it and screen not turning on.

Ok. so my friend was in the library with me so his phone crashed. so he pulled the battery and put it back in. (sm-g900v) and then it boot looped. and did so again. so i wiped cache partition as well as factory reset it. and it still dident work. so i bought my friends phone home and i downloaded his stock rom off of sammobile. (and yes. it was the right 1) anyway so i stock romed it and it was success. but it still boot looped after i stock romed it. so i pulled the battery out and put it back in and now the screen dosent even turn on. But my computer can steal read it. any help? i cant go into recovery or download mode. even when i hold the power button. threres no vibration. untill i plug it in to the computer. any 1? help?
Try leaving it charging overnight maybe just battery died and drained to a very low state to low to turn on
Also what does the phone say when it is connected to Computer what is the phone recognized as?
What does the sticker below the battery say the phone model is?

SM-G530FZ stuck at boot logo, can't go to recovery and download mode

Hello!
It's my first time here on XDA-Developers, so I hope I can solve my problem here. So, I flashed with ODIN my SM-G530FZ with the Stock ROM, since I had some issues with the phone. I wiped Data, Cache, System and Dalvik Cache via TWRP before doing this. After the flash, I couldn't start the phone anymore. Only when it's connected to my Samsung charger. Then, it started on its own and got stuck at the boot logo. I had to remove the battery to stop the process. But the same thing happened when I put the battery back in. Phone boots up when it's being charged. I tried to go to recovery mode, but nothing happened. Also tried to do the same thing with download mode, but this didn't work as well. I assume that I have bricked my phone pretty bad, so I hope that I can find some help here
Thanks for reading!
I've hard brick my 1H like this before, so I had to make a USB JIGG, made it with 1 dollar in materials.
You can buy these on the internet for about 3 bucks if you don't know how to build one or look up some tutorials.
What they do is force the phone to go into download mode.
Now, the commands for recovery and download mode could have been damaged so this should work unless.. you actually damaged them both from ever working.

Redmi 2 doesnt turn on until and unless it is connected to a charger.

Hey Guys,
My phone gets stuck in a bootloop if I don't use a charger while turning it on. Actually, doesn't even get past the splash screen and reboots every 1 to 2 seconds. I also need to connect it to the charger to access TWRP. Normally, when I disconnect the charger after the phone has turned on, the phone suddenly turns off. But when I do the same when I'm in TWRP, nothing happens and I can continue using it without any problems. I'll put the logs if you neeed. And yes, I don't need the charger to get into fastboot mode. I'm currently on lineage 15.1 unofficial but the problem persists over other roms too. Please help...
Change the battery
It's the battery , which is under performing with the voltage needed to run the rom process,
That's why you are able to use with charger and got bootloop without charger. In twrp or any recovery mode most of the hardware is disabled and does not need much power.
