[Q] Can someone help with the solution? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,my phone will automatically turn itself on when i insert my battery. Then after the Samsung logo, the screen automatically turns black. I first suspected that it was a battery problem, but that did not turn out to be the case. I think it has something to do with the power button. I also tried to boot it up into recovery mode but the screen still went black before i had the chance to do anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
it may be the power button , try to press on it a few time and see if you can release it ..if not you may have to replace it , is not an uncommon issue

Even with the charger on?
Why you said that the battery is ok?

It's definitely a stuck power button

Try to let the battery drain and make the phone die, then try to charge it when its off and get to download from when its off.
Also have you tried a jig to get into download mode and stay there?

Well, I suggest you to try VillainROM 2.1. You will have to flash cf-root (the version of it has to be the same as the version of your current f/w), connect your phone to pc and get the VR 2.1 into your sd card then power off your phone, volume up + power + home button - do a full wipe - choose to install a zip from sd, flash villain and you will be fine..hope so. If you get stuck @ any point, you can scream for help cuz I will be here to support you mate
Forgot to get you this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 It might help you though.
The main problem right now is I can't reboot my GSII so I can't do anything now.
Do you have any suggestion?

Try to enter download mode (volume down + power button + home button) and flash with odin a stock rom.
The main problem now is I can power on my GSII so I can't enter any download mode and recovery mode.
I don't know how to do now and please help me, thank you.
Just power off your phone. If doesn't work by the power button, pull out the battery. When the phone is powered off, press the 3 buttons same time and you will enter download mod.
Sorry for my typo mistake, now I can't power on my GS2 so I don't know how to enter to download mode

You dont have to power on your device to enter download mode. Just push VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, POWER BUTTON and HOME BUTTON in the same time. Then, push volume down to enter odin mode. After that, connect your cable to your device and press start in odin (before that, dont forget to put the stock f/w into PDA in Odin)
My GSII still no response and I think the row is dead and can't bootup so how can I do? Tks brother
So after your flashing width odin did odin say pass or complete?
You may still be able to get into download mode but just not see it,
When you hold the key combination then plug it into odin and see if it comes
Up with the yellow box that tells your if your device is connected.
edit : so you hold power, volume down and home then you have to press up to enter download mode, after this plug it in to odin and see if you can see the phone.
There is no response after boot my phone and it hasn't say pass or complete.
Then the phone can't open again and I don't know how to do now, please help.

try to press the 3 buttons for the download mode until it again .... wait up to 1-1.5 minutes, while holding the 3 keys..... if does not work,I think that the bootloader could be damaged
If the bootloader has been damaged, is there any solution? Tks

check your power button isnt stuck or faulty - try pulling it out or you might have to get a new power button if phone keeps turning itself off

power button is ok, but.. after flash my phone turn only recovery mode (and also unexpectedly turned off)
Try This method
remove battery from phone and connect to pc
(when battery removed your phone got power through data cable connected to pc)
than press three button together VOLUME DOWN BUTTON+POWER BUTTON+MENU BUTTON
when you see odin mode, insert the battery and flash stock firmware and complete the whole processs
you must have your phone driver installed so pc recognized you phone

Its a hardware prob....fault in mother board re.....

all the phone is doing is boot loop
Of course you can. i think that you should shutdown the device and just hold the three buttons, it should work if you on bootloop

a bit of a problam
when i press the power button nothing happen, the only why to shutdown is let the battery drain
from the bootlooping but in the moment I plug the phone to charge so I can do something he is bootlooping

Well that's deffinately weird.
Is it under warrenty? Because if you can't get to download mode I'm thinking that's a next step.
How about recovery? Can you get to recovery? Power plus volume up?

I know how to fix.
warrenty it's a bit of a problam because my phone is rooted and rooted phones disable the warrenty
but it's dont boot up so how can know he is rooted LOL, I think I'll go to the store i bought it from
and ask to fix this, but I prefer to fix it in my home so if threre is a solution I'll take it

I used to have this problem and the culprit is the stuck and broken power button.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app
Why cant you enter the downloade mode / recovery? All you have to do is hold volume up or down with the home button when you put the battery in. You don't need to press the power button then.

Because recovery takes longer to boot thus it will reboot before it enters recovery.

And then I'm force to press the power button myself, with low power,
