Well, you could try and flash a custom recovery and the perform a factory reset.
Or you can reflash the rom you have.
Factory Reset and if that doesn't work try changing ROM

My girlfriend "played" with the phone and , I don't know how, but she succeed to open the phone...
Whatever, I heard that on S4 you can't switch from a higher version of android to a lower one ( eg: from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2).. a link where I can find more informations please

Hey Guys,
My Phone is completely stock and i have not installed any firmware but last night my Phone suddenly entered a boot loop which woke me up.
At that moment i just pulled the battery. But this morning my Phone wouldn`t start anymore, it just shows the logo
What i tried:
Boot into recovery: No go, it just displays the blue text booting into recovery
Normaal boot: No go, just shows the samsung logo.
Tried emergengy recovery via samsung kies tool: It ends succesfully with the same result, no boot
What else can i try without voiding warranty?
I want to try anything i can before sending it back to the store because that will take a few weeks before i have a phone again

- Flash this file with ODIN: HERE
- Turn off ur phone
- Use the combination (Vol up + Home button + Power button)
- When u see the letters of Samsung S4 in white... drop the Power button
- If u dont do it by this way u will be stucked in the boot logo
- This will go directly to your CUSTOM RECOVERY

first get yourself prepared for flashing the stock firmware
find out these details first
1. what version of grand 2 are you using g7102 or g7102t or g7106 or g710
2.which country variant phone are you using that is from which country have you bought your phone from
these details are necessary for downloading the stock rom for your phone..
so first get these details first then i would guide you for further process
ps: these info will be at the back of your phone below your battery
& the coutry info will be the coutry were you are using your phone

Whenever this happens always keep calm have patience and don't get tensed , it happens with many people , it's normal . Now what everyone does when this happens is flash the stock firmware via Odin , just follow the above procedure by grohitsurana it takes time , (like 10-15 mins ) but it will recover your phone.
No need to freak out ! bootloops are no stranger to us all ! grohitsurana perfectly explained what you need to do ! good luck and relax !

But although it worked fine it took up a lot of space i feel. I have a grand 2 with 8 gb internal memory. But now i am accesible only to 5.1 gb. I dont think it was this less earlier.
Did i do a mistake somewhere...? I did a cache wipe and factory reset before installing the new stock firmware...
Help me out guys!

Did you try and flashed rom again ( odin) ?? another option would be to flash (odin) a custom recovery see if it let you enter it and do a factory reset ..only problem is it will trigger your knox bit to 1..
@lloop: Are you completely stock, or did you attempt to install a custom recovery? The behavior you describe is identical to the behavior witness by myself and others when trying to install TWRP 2.8.5.0 on the S4.
One other thing that might help here. On occasion I've had the device get stuck in recovery. Going into download mode, cancelling download mode, and then holding down the buttons to go into recovery often works.
