My S7 edge is stuck on boot.
I can't get into recovery mode or download
I've already tried to use vol down & power to turn it off but it just turns on and get to the samsung logo
I also tried to go into recovery mode after it turned off for a second but it doesn't work.
The problem i had before was that i was locked by frp so i tried to flash it.
Oh, also usb doesnt recognize the phone

Force shutdown and then after that instantly press the volume up and home key without the power button...I assume that when you force shutdown the device it restarts so try doing that instantly and see if u got access to recovery ....if so wipe data/ factory reset
Hope to get it back alive

It can take many MANY tries to force it and by many I mean a friend of mine took over and hour to do it
Once the screen goes black IMMEDIATELY press home>Power>Volume down and once in download mode flash a stock Firmware using Odin. It's happened to me and it's fixable.
By the way this subject has been repeatedly covered without starting a new thread.

Okay try to get to download mode and if it didn't work leave the phone untill battery is dead then try again when you plug-in your charger maybe it will work, and if anyone else have a solution please share it.

Plug your phone into the charger then repeat trying to get to download.
Remember as soon as the screen goes black from forcing reboot immediately do the steps to get to download.
Again it sometimes takes a VERY long time but it's doable

Any recent application installs which might have caused this?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
if i remember correctly the last thing i installed is quadrant benchmark
is it possible that something on the root/data/app got missing or uninstalled?
this is the first time i encountered this problem. , havent seen it before in devices that ive handled
It sounds a little like the cache is corrupted (can happen if it doesnt shut down cleanly).
I had similar behaviour on my galaxy note.
The first time I did a factory reset and that fixed it (remember this wipes all data).
The second time I tried formatting the cache partition first and that fixed it.
When I did those I was using CWM recovery. I cant recall the stock recovery options.
If all is the same between phone versions, to enter recovery you hold down home-power-volume_up til it boots.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
from other posts from orher devices i have read they say its cache but the problem is when i turn it on it doesnt even boot the iniitial logo (samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505)
it doesnt show up anything. . . screen doesnt lit up so also a problem how do i go now to recovery if the screen doesnt even turn on (the phone vibrates as a respond but the LED and the Screen doesnt lit up)
i know how to enter recovery mode. . . thats the only problem (softbricked)? this phone was bought on the official day of release

having the same problem too
1. you still CAN go to the download mode even if screen is off (I flashed full stock but this did not resolve a problem)
2. I was able to turn on my phone after many attempts: (press power, after vibration release) - I did it about 30-50(maybe more) times and my phone boots up. But after rebooting it again doesnt turn on (again many attempts helps me).
3. I have observed - in my phone vibration turns on after 6s after power button is pressed, in a correctly working one - after 4s.
(sorry for my english)
Was anyone able to resolve this?
same problem here too !! but seem to have found a solution
My galaxy s4 was acting all weird one day, randomly it switched off and wont turn on but keeps on vibrating it was only 3months old I thought it had some serious hardware issues because I tried all the means to resetthe phone but nothing gave me a solution even tried another battery no effect it wont turn on even if it did turn on it would randomly shut itself up within notmorethan 15min I stay in india where i9505 is not sold so Samsung officials would not take my phone for service as they feel its different from i9500 in all means I got fed up and brought myself a new phone a 5s .
A few days before I badly wanted my galaxy so sat whole day searching the internet for fixes couldnt find one . I got angry and smashed the phone hard on the table .to my surprise it gurned on (was connected to the charger ) turns out some phones have a problem with there power button and mine was one of them
I didnt get my button fixed yet but after turning on not using the power button helps . Have been working for 4 days in a row now no problem what so ever . But if I lock my phone using the power button then it tends to get the same problem again ! So guys get your power button checked
Try to fix the button with WD40, worked for me.

this is a hard bricked .its mean JTAG issue.contact with a repairing shop keeper...i have also same problem and solved in JTAG
Hello folks, I was using my S4 flawlessly for about 8 months, last week I was sitting with friends and the phone wasn't even in my hand, suddenly I saw it rebooted on its own, and was stuck on Samsung i9500 logo and it bootlooped there. I tried getting into recovery mode, however it's kicking me out of there as soon as it goes. Then I tried to go into Odin mode, it gets stuck at the place where it asks you to push VOLUME DOWN button to continue, and restarts again.
How can I solve this??
Anybody guys??
Try this...
try factory reset from recovery.. if that fails then you'll have to flash the official rom via Odin again...

hold power down for 20 seconds. let phone sit for 1 minute. now hold power and volume down. this should bring you to a white reset screen. press power 3 times.

When you plug in USB does charge light come on. Sounds like a battery went dead.

I've heard some people are having issues with the charge port and/or cord also. Maybe try another cord and make sure it's plugging in tightly? I think the last person covered everything else.

are you sure you were in fastboot mode? because i wasnt and it should say so in the top left corner if you were.
try different cords/ usb ports or even pc's to charge it. my mac couldn't find it at all, my windows did.

For me the brick happened when i was flashing KK with TWRP, during the flashing appears something that said "couldn't not mount system" and the phone shut down and never power up again , no usb no charge, no linux, no nothing, when i plug my device in windows appears that the devices cannot install the drivers, and i've tried all the drivers and still doesn't work
Hold power down until phone is completely off. Then, hold power and down volume until you see LG logo. As soon as you see the LG logo, release and then quickly press power and down again. Hold until you see a white screen. Then go from there.

So all you get is a black screen with you boot? There's probably a way to push whatever file might be missing or even an entire ROM but I lack the knowledge on how to do that. I remember I had to work some magic on my Galaxy Nexus but I used a toolkit so I'm afraid I've got no really useful information for you.
This also happened to me!
I am in the same state.
I rooted the LG, I installed the custom Rom, I installed an updated GAPPS and it wasnt working. I then went and installed another GAPPS overtop and I got stuck in boot loop. After I tried recovery from ADB I tried to restore from TRWP and it didnt take. After I rebooted nothing turned on, no LED, I tried ALL button combinations and nothing comes on at all. I am wondering if the phone died and now will not charge...I started with 60% but the last time i saw it it was down to 15% just thinking maybe it died completely and without any software to boot it wont charge...I have had it on charge for 8 hrs since and still nothing...
Please help!

my galaxy s4 is always boot looping into Samsung galaxy s4 screen. only the download mode screen appears but it reboots again after 5 seconds and keeps on rebooting . any help ?
Do you run with stock or custom recovery? Have you tried to (re-)flash a custom recovery (CWM highly recommended)?

Hm, if I understand you correctly, you can boot into download mode but it just lasts a couple of seconds before it reboots on its own, right? You cannot boot into recovery as the screen simply stays black. Can you boot successfully into /system or does it bootloop as well?
Sounds like a hardbrick to me, the only thing I can think of before sending your phone in for repair is to pull out the battery for 1 hour or so, reinsert it and boot directly into download mode and see if it stays there. If it does, flash a custom recovery using Odin and check whether you can boot into it afterwards.

I'm, I was actually, on stock everything, rom, kernel and recovery
30 68336826
OK so I left my phone without a battery in it for the afternoon, just got back home and gave it a try.
It booted. No idea why or what actually went wrong.
Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
OK, So the point that the phone just start booting just the moment the battery is inserted got me thinking
IS IT THE POWER SWITCH?
and indeed it's, the power switch is stuck on, although I can feel the click when I push, still, seems like something is wrong with it
so I tried to suck it out, hit the phone softly few times while the power switch is facing the ground
inserted the battery, aaaand, it didn't start booting, pressed the power softly, and horaaaaay, it's working
Had the same issue and indeed I knocked the power button several times and it worked very well. Thank you! You saved my day

I have similar problem... and identified its power button.
How i identified is as phone switched on i hold menu button and volume down button together and
it booted in download mode, for download mode you have to keep pressing power button, volume
down button and menu button but it went without pressing power button.. so i assume that its power
button.
Try it... hope will identify your problem
same Problem
Hello!
I have the same problem, and disassemble the cell and saw that the button will operate properly .
Someone has managed to get out of this problem?
thanks a lot... i was facing same problem... i hit ma phn near power switch...again n again... it worked... love u xda
whoa, I just got this problem recently, because some of bezel around my phone has cracked, then I try to glue it roughly.
at the other hand, I tried to install new kernel. I tought that kernel make my phone bricked. then I found this thread. so I open my case. and found my glue sticked to the power button, remove it and. voilaaaa~
thank you XDA. you never cease to amaze me. lol
I've been searching everywhere for a solution, but nothing has come up. I own a AT&T galaxy S4 that was on NC1 and today, I noticed that it wasn't in sleep mode even though I had not turned it off. I held the power button down and it presented me with the Samsung Custom boot screen with the unlocked lock. After that, nothing. The phone just turned off again. I went to try and flash the NB1 stock ROM through odin. It booted up fine the first time. I was setting it up and while I was doing so, it shut off. I pressed the power button to power it on, this time I get the normal samsung boot logo, and once again, nothing afterwards. I tried reflashing through odin and trying to access recovery mode to wipe the cache and factory reset. I ran odin and when I tried to enter recovery mode (it showed entering recovery mode in the top left corner of the menu), it shut off again. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this? I would really hate to have to get another phone as I am currently under contract for another 8 months. Thanks in advance for anyone that helps!
