I have an ATT s4 on the latest update. I pulled the battery and swapped it with a fully charged one, it vibrates once, flashes the "Galaxy s4" screen and then goes black. If I try to go into recovery or download mode it gives me the same amount of time and goes black, even after I select download mode. What can I do?

As the title explains, I can get into Download mode but screen wont turn on. I flashed Prism Barebone KK ROM and it's been like that since that. Luckily I know how to get to Download mode without the screen being on. I am flashing stock KK I grabbed from Sammobile right now but what if it doesn't work? Prism ROM does have that no bootanimation bug.
It's not a battery issue, I have 3 stock and one extended battery thats fully charged. So def not battery.
Okay so it flashed the stock ROM through Odin. DIdn't restart on it's own. I let it be for a while, it was connected to laptop, assuming my screen may have died I thought when it gets into OS I'll hear a beep on computer or Odin would detect it, or device manager. Nothing.
So I hit power while USB was connected, the boot logo came on (the Galaxy S4 words) and it stayed there for about 2 mins and turned off i think. Now the power button is unresponsive. I am gonna keep it plugged to the wall.
For reference, I downloaded "I9500XXUGNH2_I9500OJVFNG1_LYS.zip" from Sammobile. [Yes I have the i9500]
Edit/Update: So the phones screen goes on and off with boot logo WITHOUT BATTERY INSERTED! How strange is that........

Out of curiosity, when you insert a charged battery in your S4. Does the device immediately vibrate? If you were having issues with your power button, you would feel the device constantly vibrating because when Samsung S2 S3 S4 power buttons go out, they are usually stuck in the on position. It is extremely rare to have a power button stuck in off.

Power button doesn't seem to be an issue but it's unresponsive. No the phone doesn't vibrate on battery plug.

I tried to install xposed and something went bad and i couldnt start my phone. So i went to safe mode and used odin to try to get out and get my phone back to normal. But after that my phone got stuck in the powered by android app and i've tried all of the button combos and they just make my screen black for about two seconds and then bring me back to the powered by android thingy. Please help!
I tried waiting it out to see what happens. It brings me to a flashing samsung logo and then powers off, once charging again i can see the green charging dots and the battery. Once turned on it brings me to the powered by android logo again, BUT i can go to download mode. My phone is the international version.
I have a galaxy s4 (i9500) and got it in used condition, a year ago. Never suspected a single problem in it.
Today I powered off my mobile for charging then after 25 minutes I took it off. I held the power button then I saw my boot logo(Where there is written Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500). That logo kept showing as usual for 2 seconds and screen went black and again that logo appeared for 2 seconds and screen gone black and again it appeared, so, I'm stuck in kinda loop not a bootlooop exactly(maybe because bootloop refers to being stuck on boot screen while in my case its boot logo). I then removed the battery and inserted it back after an hour and as soon as I inserted it back the mobile itself turned on as if I held power button but this time again I was stuck in that loop. Moreover when I tried going into download mode, I didn't even need to hold the power button along with the volume down and home, it itself proceeded to confirmation screen of odin mode. And after that confirmation screen appeared saying that whether I really want to boot into download mode, disappeared itself after like 3 or 4 seconds even though I didn't press any key. And in case I press vol up key confirming to boot to download mode, then it again takes me to that loop. I'm too much confused . I can't even flash the firmware as it won;t boot to download mode neither am I able to boot into recovery.
Now do u really think the problem might be the power button(Which is maybe stuck in the state of pressed).
Or else it can be the battery coz my battery is also just average not too good?
I also inserted the command( in build.prop file) for enabling nav. bar and the code was correct but I never rebooted after inserting that. this was the first time I rebooted after that.
SOrry for some bad English.
Do you have something like this? I'm now having problem with getting my phone back to work...

From what you say it seams like power button problem, try to start the phone and connect it to the charger. When it start take out the battery, it will be powered by charger and you will eliminate battery problem.
So my S4 will show logo, and when loading recovery shows the tiny text entering recover mode (on logo screen) then goes dark.
On 'normal boot' just goes dark, when charging shows grey battery with lightning symbol for 5 seconds then goes dark.
It will not show battery a second time if you remove charge and replace.
Battery when removed (15 seconds or more) put in, phone immediatly vibrates then shows boot logo.
You need to have buttons (v up, pwr, home) held before putting battery in to get the recovery mode text to display. It does not display recovery mode screen.
My next try will be reboot recovery and blind guess 'clear cache'
Has any had this issue?
Phone started issue after a drop, I have examined circuit and did not see physical damage. (Not my first phone fix) I was originally thinking charge circuit failed but battery is fully charged (voltimeter).

Hi, try to flash latest TWRP recovery again in Download mode.
See tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...y-s4-i9505-t3517706/post70049958#post70049958
SO, after flashing lineage os on my tab e the screen turned purple and black lines appeared and my tab restarted this time when it reached the samsung logo it got stuck halfway and this time didnt restart. I went into download and again flashed the official android version with stock recovery but the problem still persists. I thought it to be a hardware issue. And in a span of 2 3 days i went into download mode and restarted the device from there as it would not boot with the power button but when it booted up the lines appeared and it powered off. Now after some more days it respond to the download mode only after 8 to 10 hours of keeping ideal. and then also the purple lines appear. it refuses to show the charge indicator and whenever it manages to turn on to the home screen it shows constant 22 persent from more than 5 days and then turns off.
please suggest a solution
