So today, randomly my phone restarted. It started to boot up and got stuck on the Google logo screen (I think, the screen where all the circles are overlapping) and just simply won't boot. The battery just gets extremely hot.
I'm not sure where to go from this.

Im using the GT I9505 with the ktoonsez rom. I basically unlocked my phone and opened an already running app and turned off and wouldnt boot from there. I managed to get into recovery (TWRP) and tried wiping the caches, still the same. In the end I did a factory reset.
I'm still baffled as to why this happened though.

what exactly did you flash to your phone that it didnt agree with
i flashed geek's uv superfast test and then followed his links to enable the BLN.. i think i might have flashed a bln mod for another device by accident but i'm having trouble finding the links i clicked so i'm not positive.. all i know is after i flashed it my boot animation changed to i 9000 and then it got stuck and then it got stuck in boot lock
to be frank, i can't find what the **** i did so i'm starting to think i was in a diff device forum or something... i musta flashed something for another device

yeah you are pretty much screwed
screwed as in i should go to verizon w/ a sob story or screwed as in try odin
Couldn't you use Odin to restore? Or have you already tried that?
yeah man just revert to stock via Odin . Youre fine , happens to everyone at some point . Get back on that Android horse and ride it haha .
Yes, use odin.
If flashing other kernels doesn't fix this, (ie you still get stuck after the Verizon logo with lit buttons) let me know. I've got a trick up my sleeve for this, but I've only seen it happen twice, it's pretty rare.
i'm not proud of myself but i went to verizon and they gave me a brand new device...

OK I did the same thing last week. I fixed it by running voodoo uninstaller. Don't know why it worked or how but I was desperate after being without a phone for 2 days. Then that afternoon my replacement showed up via fedex

Boot into recovery and factory reset the phone, CWM has that option and regular recovery does too if im not mistaken.

Hi,
I flashed the google edition rom a few weeks ago, all was working fine. This morning, I decided to flash a stock rom from sammobile (was this a bad idea)? I used CF autoroot and twerp custom recovery. It failed. So wiped everything, reflashed the google edition rom, but when I reboot the phone it gets stuck showing "Samsung galaxy s4" white text.
To boot it again i have to wipe data, cache and dalvik, then reflash the ROM, then qipe cache and dalvik, then it reboots. But when I turn it off then on again the whole process starts again.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? This is the same ROM that worked faultlessly for weeks...
Thanks
Did u wait long enough, first reboot after flashing a new rom can take a while.

Yeah, I gave it 5 minutes, but it's not even getting to the boot animation.
When I tried to flash the stock rom could that have messed something up? It said failed, then for ages after that, it kept saying "error-failed to open \data\data .... I/O error" in twrp.
To avoid that I have to wipe data seperately, reboot recovery, then flash the ROM again from scratch. Every time I reboot the phone I have to do a full wipe and flash the rom before it even boots..

Ok, thanks, I'll give it a go later. I'm at work and was hoping for a solution that didn't require ODIN (work PC too locked-down )

Well depending on which stock ROM you flashed you maybe affected by the enabled SElinux issue see https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13xxnmzvyeihn00w23wcdp55terwvove

I don't understand what the issue is though. I'm not doing anything different than I did 3 weeks ago, and yet this time it doesn't work.
It's now gotten to the stage where it won't boot at all, just sits at the white text, no boot animation.
Is it possible that flashing a stock un-rooted ROM has messed it up somehow? Technically it never flashed because it just failed immediately.

If you flashed the latest stock ROM it maybe be one with Knox and that has a secure boot loader and kernel secure Selinux Knox stops you from modifying and installing.
Try using ausdims v16 kernel or wadams Adam kernel for stock roms. Note when I flashed the last ROM waited 10 minutes and had do a wipe and reset for it to boot see last pages for discussion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824

Ok so check if your battery is swollen. I would advice you to borrow a battery and test. If it works then you are good to buy a new one.

Used an older version through odin
This ended up being sorted for me, as it just booted after about a half hour. But how, if you hit this red screen can you reflash? You aren't getting to dowload mode or recovery with that perma-red screen
lol, I spoke too soon again, was reflashing twrp after going back to a stock rom, this happened again for me only its not budging from red screen now. I can't get into download mode as I mentioned above too
hey guys I have the same
the phone dont even switch off
how did you fix it?
edit SOLUTION : I managed to reboot the phone with adb
add reboot
then I flashed the version 3.0.0.0 of TWRP and it worked !
Help!

I am having the same problem. Odin is stuck in "Setup Connection"
Do you have any ideas?

You have probably flashed a wrong kernel.
The solution is to flash the right kernel for your device.

Hi Guys,
I flashed everything stock after having some issues with encrypton and a custom ROM.
After flashing twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img with Odin 3.17 I only get a red screen when booting into recovery and the phone won't even boot the OS.
Any idea how to get TWRP working so I can get back to a custom ROM?
Thanks,
Nicolas

Lol. I have the very same problem: Flashed The Galaxy Project ROM and hit "update bootloader etc...." and now all I have is this red screen..... - Though the ROM worked for a couple of hours, but when I tried to enter the recovery I stock with this red screen. Cant even go into download mode...
Any help? How did you solved this issue?
I didn't, ****ty Rom just bricked it.
Just reflash the recovery or flash stock. I can't, my pc doesn't recognize my s7 anymore.
He doesn't even bother to mention that bug...
