Galaxy S4 Won't Boot
I've been unable to boot my phone past the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen for the past few days. When I was using it a few days ago, it suddenly froze and then it got stuck on the logo-screen ever since. The phone was not rooted or modified in any way.The phone's warranty expired a few months ago, so I can't ship it to Samsung without paying ~$100. I suspect that the phone is soft-bricked, but I've been unable to un-brick it.
It's a Fido Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M.
Things that I've tried:
Flick, wiggle, and hit the power button to potentially dislodge a stuck power button
Flashing the stock firmware (I tried this several times)
Selecting "Firmware update and initialization" on Kies
I attempted to boot into recovery mode to clear the cache, but, I'm unable to boot into recovery mode. (I pressed the home, volume-up, and the power button until the blue screen on the upper-left corner appeared. Then I let go of the power button)
Flash TWRP in-hopes of being able to access recovery(It was a longshot).
Thank you for your help!

If it froze without you doing anything and you cannot boot it anymore then I am afraid you have hardware damage.

Is there anything that I can try to revive my phone?
Hello
So today was planning to flash with a new ROM, so i started to do a factory reset from with in android, nothing happened
so i reboot the phone to enter recovery mode to do it from there, using Teamwin for that. But when booting up, getting the message entering recovery mode 5 sec later i see the logo for Teamwin and here it stops.
The logo keeps flashing every 4 seconds or so. Have tried without Sim card, done the battery thing where i remove
it and hold the power button for a while, but all end up in same, the teamwin logo flashing
As far as i can see i can´t enter anywhere to flash the phone as the only thing i get is a flashing logo...
Also Odin does not detect the phone via usb either
is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks
Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and I'm using GEAR CM13
The ROM was working fine until a while ago, but now suddenly there's a bootloop. Last thing I remember doing was accidentally holding the power button a bit long (while trying to lock the phone) so the power off/reboot menu came up and and then I tried to exit from it, but the menu didn't go away and the phone entered into a boot loop
Now, the Samsung i9500 logo just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. I'm unable to enter into recovery mode. I can enter download mode but it just exits out of that after 5 seconds and starts flashing i9500 logo again. I read about a hack to remove battery as soon as I enter download mode and it worked. It stays on download mode now. ODIN recognizes the device. What can I do using ODIN to fix the bootloop? Is there any ODIN flashable zip? I'm on the latest [20160711] build. I have important data in my device. Please help me recover it
I know I can reflash stock ROM and from there, reflash GearCM13 but I do not want to lose data as much as possible. I'm trying for fixes which do not wipe my data partition. I will go ahead with the standard method if I do not find a fix to recover from bootloop without losing data.
Hi,
I would suspect the power button first (probably stuck). Some hits to the power button using a solid, hard surface will help.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs
So, I rooted and tried flashing the stock ROM (from Sammobile, same country, same exact model [SM-G950F], I already had the stock ROM and had never flashed anything else to the phone other than root, June security update, my phone had July's) to see if I could fix a problem that couldn't be fixed with any other method I had tried.
Everything in Odin seemed to go well, I got the PASS green box at the end. But then the phone couldn't go pass the Samsung logo when booting up. I left it quite a few minutes, before trying to boot into recovery mode and wiping data. Only to realize that I couldn't boot into recovery mode. In fact, I can't even turn the phone off. No combination of hardware keys works other than power button + bixby + vol down, to get into download mode. But that's of no use, because when I plug my phone into my PC (with the same cable and port I used before to root and flash the firmware into it) it is not recognized by Odin or the PC.
It just has the Samsung logo flashing slowly over and over because I can't turn the device off. By the time the battery dies out I'll most likely have the logo burnt into the display.
I also haven't been able to find any help online. Everyone's suggestion is “boot into recovery and wipe data”, but I can't do that.
Is my phone gone for good?
Hi guys,
After googling it I tried booting it in recovery and fastboot mode but none of them work, when I try to boot in those 2 modes I get a screen with "recovery mode" written for 5 secs then it goes back to the normal boot screen and then turns off and starts to bootloop again the only way I could stop it from boot looping was by pressing the power button + the + and - buttons, so yeah if you guys have any idea how I could fix this or how I could recuperate my data please help, also it started bootlooping during the night while it was charging it was very hot when I took it, last thing when I try to go and charge it there is not indicator that it's charging.
Thanks in advance for your help !
much love
Mathias.
Kind of the same issue here.
Yesterday, I was using my phone while it was charging (low battery), and suddenly : freeze then power off and stuck into a bootloop.
It did it all the night until no battery, now when I plug it the charging Led is not lighting, and stuck in a bootloop.
Tried to flash TWRP vi fastboot mode : success but impossible to boot into recovery mode, as you described.
Affraid of the battery has died...
Flashed wrong orange state zip
Same to mine, my device was x651 and i flashed an orange state zip file intended for le 2 x620 without wipe and after flashing it from recovery , I rebooted the device, now its powering on and off on a dead screen and only long vibrates, how can we fix this? Please help
Not sure if this will help, but I ended up with a perpetual boot loop on the phone and wrote it off as broken and got a new one....a year later, I plugged it in to see if it would even power on so I could trade it in and VOILA, it boots up! What the hell? So my suggestion is maybe to let the battery run ALL the way down and then a long charge first.
