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.

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've done some searching, but couldn't find much....
last night I was using the play store at 50-something percent battery when it locked up and the screen timed out/went blank. I figured no big deal- it's done this a couple of times since the LP ota. I held down the power button to turn it off and I got nothing.
I tried a few more times and nothing. When I plug it in i don't get the charging screen and the led doesn't light up. I took the back cover off and reseated the battery but that didn't help.
I can't get to download mode, but can intermittently get to the factory reset screen. Sometimes when I hit the power button I get the lg screen, and sometimes it will make it to the AT&T screen and then go blank.
I was going to try the factory reset, but wanted to check here first for other ideas.
Stock d800 , lp , never rooted
You really do need DL mode to return to stock because the LG tool won't recognize a phone at the factory reset screen.

The above relates to not having DL or a recovery, so you can try it out (needs Linux for a step).

Dont know if any one is facing the same problem.
Installed Lollipop in my S4 over the air, 2 weeks ago.
A week back, my phone entered into BootLoop mode. Phone gets re-started. I can see Samsung logo and it gets restarted again. I tried removing the battery and kept it back. Started working fine then.
Since today after noon, my S4 is in complete boot loop. Tried removing the battery and kept it back. Yet it is in bootloop.
Unable to enter into Developer options also. Please help
I hit the Power Button against a Flat Surface. It Vibrates and shows the Samsung Logo. But then it turns off.
Is the battery empty maybe?
My guess is that your power button is faulty. Either try to wiggle it lose or replace it. It's really cheap
If it reboots in download mode and/or your recovery then it's your power button.

I tried it again with wiggling and hitting it a little bit.
it turns on automatically and then it turns off after some second again
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?
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.
