unplug from charger and try to restart phone by holding power button..
if that doesn't work - let it discharge by itself

When connected to my pc, my phone shows up for maybe a split second. Will this still work?

Dude you're not bricked. This phone doesn't like being charged when it's off. Same thing happened to me. While stuck in that menu hold vol+ and the power for 5-10 seconds. It'll reboot. It also may go into fastboot mode...if it does, just boot into system from there.

It's been around 17 hours and the display is still on, what should I do?
Hi you can shutdown the phone. by pressing both volume up and down and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds or 20 untill it shutdown. that is the way to force shutdown the oneplus when its stuck.
dont let it charge when the phone still in shutdown start the phone and charge it.

ooofff.. that sounds nasty.
You say the green LED is coming ON for a second when it's plugged into the pc.
Are all the ABD and/or flash drivers correctly installed?
I hope it's not a brick.

Yeah!! When i connect it in flash mode the LED stays for a second and then disappears. I did nothing that could possibly brick the phone!!! I just switched off my phone when i was about to start with my exam. After about 2 hours i switched it on and it didn't boot. And by the way when i press the power button a green LED blinks.
Try to take out the battery for a while and try to flash it again.
Another idea is to take out the battery, and while holding the back button on the phone and having the dialogue to put the phone in flash mode in flash tools, first put in the USB cable and then the battery.
Hey guys!!! My phone is back now. I just reflashed it. Thank u everyone for helping me out
HI,
I am using octa core S4.
4.2.2 (rooted)
whenever I insert usb cable or the charger to charge my phone, it turns off by it self. I can see the battery on my display(that one which appears when you charge your phone when it is switched off.). But that is not stable either. it goes and comes again and again.
~ DELETED ~

1. Delete the KNOX apps in system/app.
2. Reflash the firmware android 4.2.2 and root it again. Remember do the step 1 when u finish the rooting.
3. Change the battery if the 1st and 2nd step doesn't works.

You don't need change the battery maybe. This seems a problem of:
1. The USB charger. You can buy other OFFICIAL without problem.
2. The charging port. It can be fixed in the service center or maybe your wanna try for yourself: HERE

No. the phone stays connected when i put it in downloading mode. I'm re-flashing it. The firmware should be culprit. Let's see what happens now.! :good:

I reflashed it. but when i kept it for charging, it wasnt responding well. pressing power button didn't do anything. And then it shut off. and now it refuses to turn back on. it restarts after showing "samsung galaxy s4". and it turns on right away after putting the battery!:crying:

Update: it turns off when I plug in the charger and press power button for more than 2 times. I don't know what's wrong! How can this happen! I'm plugging in the charger, pressing the power button for few times and it is gone! It won't even start after that it will keep restarting until I press power button few times again!
I dropped my S4 on a hard floor in its case and it was still working for a few minutes and then turned off. Now when I take the battery out and put it back in it automatically shows the first Samsung screen, vibrates, then turns off. I can't get it into recovery or download. Thanks for any help.

Probably your power button is stuck. Try to wiggle it loose or replace it.

I've taken the phone apart to make sure nothing came loose and the power button it moving. Could it be damaged and still be clicky?

The phone doesn't stay on long enough to boot. I tried recovery and download mode and it sometimes shows that it's going to recovery then powers off.
I tested the power button with my multimeter and the circuits check out. Not sure where to go from here.

I am still sure it's your power button.
- The device boots automatically when you put the battery in.
- It reboots before it enters recovery
- It reboots before or when you are in download mode.
It's a common problem.
I just ordered the replacement switch. I will post back after I receive it and solder it on.

Thanks for the input. I was almost ready to give up on this phone. I ended up breaking the power button off by wiggling it with a screwdriver and booting it by plugging it in without a battery then putting the battery in and holding to use download mode and canceling to boot.

So my phone was at around 40% today, when it decided to die on me. In my pocket, don't know what happened, or how. I have tried charging it, and trying to get to twrp, but with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I don't know if I should try taking out the battery, or for how long i should charge it?
Have you tried just holding the power key down for 15-30 seconds? Could just be SOD...

I have tried that, and no response, phone also does not heat up when plugged in either.
What do you mean by SOD?? Is it fully dead at this point considering it shut off at 40% and now I can't get any response?

SOD is "Sleep Of Death"... Basically the kernel can't wake up from deep sleep, but if you held the power that long it should have forced a hard reboot.
Does it show anything at all in device manager when you connect it?

Ah ok got it. But yeah i figured it should've responded to the power button being held down.
Shows nothing in device manager, and adb devices returns nothing

Nothing at all? Not even a Qualcomm QDLoader device? Hmm... Not good.
I would try different USB cable and charger combos... But at this point opening it and disconnect/reconnect battery might be best chance but honestly most phones in this condition never work again.

Nothing at all haha. It doesn't seem good at all. I'll try the battery, but you're probably right, I'm guessing it's done now and not going to work again.
Thanks for your help, most likely time for a new phone
Same happened on an s4. It was that the power button was trapped. Try to hit your phone on the power button

I don't know if this would be the case, I'll try disconnecting the battery, but it would've been super unexpected for the battery to crap out, as it has been performing fairly well and was not really showing any age until now.

Not to get your hopes up... But sometimes you can just disconnect the battery, wait 5 minutes, then reconnect it, and it will take off.

There's always the old freezer trick. Put it in a plastic bag then into the freezer for a couple of minutes and then plug it into a computer. I've had to do this before (unresponsive after a modem upgrade) but nothing over 5 minutes. This was way back in the Gingerbread days...
I know this is probably something weird, but the same thing happened with my X Style. Phone was working fine and then suddenly stopped working after a reboot (died after turn off). Nothing helped me till now. No idea what to do.

I had mine plugged in and suddenly it started flashing the white charging screen, then I tried to boot it up, and got about 0.75 seconds in when it shut off and started randomly flashing the charging screen every couple of minutes on and on... Has to have been a hardware failure, something has to have fried inside. But try what acejavelin posted a few days up, see if holding the power button 30 seconds works for it to power up. When I did that mine tried to power up, but then shut off, you will maybe have different luck though

I just considered mine dead because of it's sporadic behaviour trying to boot up. Plus @acejavelin said most phones in this state don't come back, I actually went ahead and got a OnePlus5 and retired the mxpe

last night it was fine, when i woke up this morning it was showing a black screen instead of the AOD and the charging led was green so i force shut it down by holding the power button, and then it didnt turn on charge or anything. the samsung logo wont show up either. I'd really appreciate it if anyone has a solution, and thanks!
