first of all, before you flash this arrow room, which version of samsung android u had?, if u had 4.2.2 u can still flash official rooms via odin, from 4.3 u cannot, the only way would be if you make a backup of ur sgs4..., customs roms can brick your phone (for me the safest one is cyanogenmod, but in a sgs4 only when the phone never were updated with android 4.3 on 4.4.2), try JTAG to fix it(not u, an expert needs to do this...)
PS: sorry for my bad english(still learning)

[Q] S4 stuck on boot, How to install Jellybean

My samsung galaxy s4 (GT-I9500) does not go past the samsong logo with the i9500 and the samsong name.
I put a new simcard in my phone, and after my phone started it asked me to update the phone to a new release. I obviusly clicked OK.
my phone started updating, just like it normally updates, but this time the screen goes black in the middle of the update. I turn on my phone, and it starts installing, then suddenly it turns off again.
when i turn it on it loads the first boot logo, then i get a black screen like the phone was never on.
i tried everything:
- battery of and on
- wipe data/factory reset (from - volume up, home button, and power button)
- wipe cache partition
- and apply update from cache has an empty recovery folder.
- i tried to boot in safe mode.
and nothing worked
I want to reinstall jellybean(or any os that works) on the phone, but since i can go to settings and allow usb debbuging, my computer does not recognize it even when it is on doenloading mode (volume down, home, and power button) from my ubuntu turmenal.
I am willing to root my phone or anything to get it working without paying money.
How do i fix this? please help!

Plug out battery between 10 and 15 minutes so the cpu and battery temperature must be cold.
Then plug in Battery and restart into Recovery

Hi,
Your power button seems stuck. Try hitting your power button on hard surface and see if your phone can boot. Please ignore all workarounds by other users above. Instead, try my workaround first.
If it's still not booting, you need a power button replacement. Let me know how it's going.

Try to boot in Safe Mode by pressing Vol Down button AFTER the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500" boot logo. If that problem persist, try to factory reset your phone. Most likely it is a hardware problem, the display has probably worn out

Had the some problem when battery on mine run flat to 0% and min voltage. Only helped replacing battery with another one. Than i put it on charge for some time, put the old battery back on, plugged to charger, tried few times pressing power buttons and other combination and it started working.
BTW I didn't know there's an indian version of this phone. What is your exact model number and what software do you use?
Try inserting an USB in your computer, then try to go into recovery mode. Worked for me with Android 11.
