This morning my phone discharged. When i plugged it into charge it started acting weird and got stuck in bootloop. It isn't charging the battery.
On pressing the power button, its show the white logo of samsung GT-I9500 and then Restart again.
As soon as i put the battery back after removing, it's going auto start with samsung white logo again, and bootloop
I can't boot in recovery mode [volUp+home+Power].
I can go into download mode but just only 5 sec, pressing volume up after reaching download mode screen does nothing. After 5 seconds it auto reboots to get stuck in bootloop.

Your power button is stuck. A common problem.

I rooted with CF-auto method, phone worked fine. I downloaded CWM Rom Manager and downloaded CWM Recovery through the app. I decided to try and flash TRiforce 5.4 as my first ROM. Selected to back up everything and wipe clean with a full install. Towards the end There was a fatal error. It said it needed to be rebooted. I clicked reboot now. It said something about AROMA installer. Then rebooted. It showed the Galaxy s4 logo, then went black. I waited and waited and waited. And nothing happened. I tried pressing power and nothing would happen. I eventually pulled the battery out and reinserted. Upon pressing power, the same thing. It would show Galaxy s4 logo then go to black. I thought perhaps my battery died during install. Tried plugging in to A/C adapter and the battery logo pops up but the circle that usually continues to flow in a circle just freezes and does not flow. No light turns on to indicate charging. If I unplug the charger it is still frozen on the same charge screen. I popped my battery into a friends s4 and it charges fine, and is still at about 50% power. I've tried vol up+home+power, vol down+home+power and they both get the same results, just the galaxy s4 logo, then black screen. No booting whatsoever. Does this mean my phone is now bricked?:crying:
edit, vol down+ power has just gotten me into download mode! I guess I'll download a stock rom tomorrow and flash it via odin. Sucks because i don't have internet at my house. I'm at the library right now... 15 hours to dl stock rom lol...

Try going into recovery mode again by pressing get down the volume down and home button than finally the power button. The phone should vibrate and then as soon as the Samsung logo comes out let go of the buttons or else the phone will reboot again. Time it right so it goes into recovery

Have you fixed this issue, volume up +home+power is recovery mode, volume down+home+power is to download mode then u press up to complete
Rezzing old thread, I know. But I'm leaving this here in case anyone is poking around for clues to their s4 not powering on.
I have one that does not power on, as in bo combination of "press this and that..." is going to work (as if that isnt the first step in troubleshooting...I know not everyone does it right, but its really annoying when any post mentioning no power on/not responding to any key presses or charger plugin is full of "just try harder to boot it" posts..... Anyways...) The power pins register about half a volt, surging around from 100mV to ~3V . The battery does not charge and there us a constant slowly draining voltage on the power pins while unplugged and no battery.
The only clue Ive found so far us a youtube video of a no power on S4 having its power IC replaced which fixed it. Unfortunately I dont have the tools currently to try it, so at least mine, is still dead in the water.....
My phone abruptly turned off while I am using it under charge.
I promptly attempted to restart it through pressing the power button, but had absolutely no response.
Then I tried replacing the battery and the phone device on normally right away, with the Galaxy S4 logo shown as usual, but turns off after a second of the logo display.
Attempted getting into both the download and the recovery mode, no response.
Anybody know what's the issue here? Phone has been rotted and flashed with SlimBean ROM, it has no issues leading up to the event today. Please help!
Update: I tried accessing download and recovery mode as soon as I inserted battery into the phone.
It would have the loading screen as soon as the buttons are pressed, but the device still turns off after a second as usual.
Is it hard bricked?

Your s4s power button is fine?cuz my s4 doesn't power on with only inserting battery.try to put it on charge for 15 min. And then try to go download or recovery mode.if it does boot to recovery while charging then it will boot up normal.and make sure to use original charger and cable.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
Download or recovery mode doesn't happen when I try pressing the power buttons, however when I insert the battery while pressing the power+volume up button, the phone will go into those modes, but will turn off promptly in a few seconds.

Charging works?if it shows charging let it charge for some time then power on.let it charge for about an hour and try after that.may it work.
So I have a GT-i9500, its a year old and it started with a little problem.
A few months ago it got stuck in a boot loop, the one where it gets stuck on the Galaxy S4 logo. I pushed the power button a few times and it booted properly.
Well its now stuck in that boot loop again and no matter the amount of times I play with the power button I can't get it out of the boot loop.
I have tried everything.
Here are some of the issues:
If I put the battery in the phone boots automatically.
If I try the POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME combo I get into the download mode but then it restarts and goes back into the boot loop
I can't put it into recovery mode, it just fails to respond to the POWER + VOL UP + Home combination.
I have tried different batteries, I've left the phone without a battery for days to see if it would fix the issue. Nothing works.
Any suggestions or insights?
Hello all. Since nougat update my phone has started having boot up issues. I had software update a month ago and after it was updated it failed to boot up. It just froze on Samsung logo screen and i had to wait for the battery to drain to start it again. So that time it started after a good few tries. Now last night it had another software update and again after it was finished it rebooted and failed to boot up. Gets stuck on logo screen/ samsung screen. I tried booting in safe mode.. nothing ... gets stuck again on black screen and have to wait for battery to drain. When it gets stuck i can't do anything not even reboot with any of the buttons. I've tried going into recovery mode but once it boots in recovery it shows Installing System Update or something simmilar and in 1 second gets stuck untill battery is drained again. So basically i can't do anything on it. It won't boot up in normal/safe mode or recovery mode... Any suggestions ? I've tried samsung switch on my PC but it needs the phone into recovery mode and i can't get this far. What else is there to do ?
I managed to get it into download mode and flash a new stock firmware... It installed without error and when the phone boot and apply the updates then rebooted again and still go stuck after Galaxy S7 Edge Logo. Got past that and froze on the SAMSUNG logo. After that just blue LED and black screen... Can't switch it off now , gotta wait for it to drain the battery...

It doesn't work. Once it gets stuck nothing works. I've tried everything.
It just freezes completely... Vol Down + Power doesn't work either when it freezes...
Wish they made phones like before so you can just take the battery out...

Hello!
My SM-A205G decided it was time for an update. After rebooting it's stuck at 100% and after several hours it doesn't move, except when it runs out of battery.
I've tried getting to recovery mode using the traditional key combination. I've tried releasing the keys after the logo shows up, keeping pressed after the logo shows up. Pressing only volume up and both power and volume up. I've also tried plugging an USB at the same time I try to get into recovery, but it always boots normally and goes to the process of loading from 0 to 100 and getting stuck at 100. The loading animation also freezes when it reaches 100.
Is there anything I can do to get out of this loop? I attach a picture of the screen I can see.
Thanks in advance
