my friend had s4 gi9505, non rooted phone ( on stock rom )
phone got discharged and after charging the mobile is stuck on samsung logo .
recovery mode is accesible.
is there any solution for this ??
please help
Try to go to recovery by holding power up and volume down or up - don't remember now - at the same time.
There will be an option for a factory reset. If you unsure post pictures here.
Please notice that after factory reset you will lose your data storage on internal memory. I advise you to remove sdcard before you do so.

I was checking Facebook when suddenly the phone restarted, but it got stuck at the first boot logo over and over...then i tried several steps to figure out what's going on.
*First I took the battery out, leaved the phone without it for about 5hrs, then I put it back and no luck... (The SD card was also removed.)
*Later I tried with a different battery and no luck, the phone keeps restarting over and over...
*Tried entering in Download mode and nothing works, the phone does not respond, and then it restarts...
*Tried doing a hard reset, but the phone does not respond to (vol up + home + power)
*Changed the SD card with a new one, nothing.
*The battery is not swallowed.
*The device was rooted and running Omega ROM V17 Android 4.3 (rooted it in December and had no problem).
WTH is going on?, if at least i could use download mode to fix it
(another thing that looks strange to me is that as soon as I put the battery on the phone, the device turns on intermediately and I think it's not normal because the device does nothing until the user turns it on.)
Please any help, this issue is over my head.
Thank you so much.
Download mode and recovery is available??
It can be 2 things:
- You have a faulty battery.
- You have damaged hardware.
No flash is going to help you. It's just bad luck.
Probably your power button was broken and stucked. If you still have warranty, send it to repair in samsung service center. This used to happen to my i9500 once.

Hello there,
Hoping you can help, my stock UK galaxy s4 I9505 on jelly bean suddenly crashed today and it won't load up.
I can get it to go in download mode (power button + volume key) but can't access either recovery or safe mode - it booted into safe mode once then just crashed out again.
The phone now gets stuck on the initial samsung galaxy s4 loading screen and then either hangs or just reboots. Sometimes the screen flickers / goes green.
I have left it with the battery out for 30+ mins / charged up battery / tried it plugged in / taken out the SD card - no joys getting it loaded.
Is there any way of recovering data held on the phone? I have some photos on there that I would like to get it at all possible.
Lesson learned for the future - keep all photos on the SD card!!!
Fingers crossed someone can point me in the right direction.
Chris
If you can access download mode, your phone isn't bricked. Install a stock ROM through Odin, as Odin doesn't wipe user data when a ROM is installed. If you want to play it safe however, install TWRP first and make a nandroid backup onto your MicroSD card. Then install the stock ROM.
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.

Dealing with a Samsung Galaxy S4 that will not get past the Samsung "Custom" bootscreen.
The ROM was stock Android KitKat. It was rooted, and Safestrap recovery was installed. The Xposed Framework was also installed. The device was working fine.
Then the power button broke, so installed Power Button to Volume Button and Shutdown & Reboot.
Then used Shutdown & Reboot to reboot. The phone rebooted to the Samsung "Custom" bootscreen, but did not progress beyond that.
Have not been able to get past the Samsung "Custom" (black) bootscreen since then. :crying:
Here's what's been done:
Tried to enter Safe Mode
Pulled the SIM card out
Pulled the battery out
Put the battery back in
Pressed (and held) the volume-down button while putting the battery in
Nothing has helped or been successful.
There was no microSD card in the device, so all the data is on it's internal storage.
At the least, I would like to get all the data off.
At best, I'd like to get the phone working again.
TIA. :highfive:
Is this an AT&T sgh-i337 phone?
Stuck at the boot logo normally means you have soft bricked it. The only way to recover is to find the correct factory firmware for you device and flash it via Odin. Make sure it the correct firmware! Flashing the wrong one is a problem.
My phone is showing different unusual behaviors..
1. Its stuck at "Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos powered by android" logo for about 30minutes
2. After about 30min, it shows "Device storage corrupt. The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data. " And there is reset device button also, but then when clicked does no thing.
3. Once it went to even at "SAMSUNG" logo and got stuck there.
When it is in state 2(as mentioned above), pressing volume down and up button changes the volume level also.
What shall I do to get it back?? Its not even rooted.. Please help
