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...

Just tried it, nothing changed.
Take out the Battery for 5 minutes,
when putting it back in,
make sure to hold
--- Volume Down
--- Home
Battery in,
--- and last Power
in that order
If you get in tell me please.

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.

I had the same problem, it occured while switching from cwm to twrp. i used the unbuntu method ( i think you mean this right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142)
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.

i've tried all the possible combinations of buttons and no one works, i've been holding the power button for a whole minute and nothing happened, and the other combination either, nothing seems to work i give up
It's just power you press after the logo, not power and volume down.

i've tried everything, download mode, linux, recovery, lg mobile, and nothing works i think it's completly brick, i hope one day someone comes with the solution, because i went today to SAT and they don't even know what happened with my phone, and i bought it in another country so they don't want to get involve
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 took out the battery during "installing system update" at 97%, now just keeps beep twice and screen says recovery booting and repeat. Tried recovery mode by holding volume up+home+power but doesn't work either still can't go to recovery mode.
Phone is galaxy note 3, never updated since they say newer one is crappy and drains battery fast, but half hour ago I pressed update by accident.
I got some important pictures in the phone, are they all gone? or can I recovery them?
anything else to try? hope it's not bricked and I need this phone! thanks for reading and help.
Dude, this is Note7 forums, not Note 3
yeah was thinking maybe the phones are similar and couldn't find the sub forum., mods you can move thread as you see fit.

Did you try putting it in Download Mode and side loading with Odin?
You can flash TWRP in Odin:
https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-3.0.2-1-hlte.img.tar.html (Snapdragon Note 3)
https://dl.twrp.me/ha3g/twrp-3.0.2-0-ha3g.img.tar.html (Exynos Note 3)
Odin: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/Odin_3.12.3.zip
Samsung drivers: http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Enter download mode (VolDown+Home+Power), VolUp past warning screen, plug in device to PC
Launch Odin
TWRP tar goes in AP slot, flash while holding volume up + home.
Once you're in TWRP you can transfer all your stuff off your phone such as pictures, etc. MTP is magical.

Ok just tried getting into download mode and it was able to. but Odin, snapdragon etc all those are new to me. for the phone I pretty much just use it to call/text and have some apps. I don't tweak it or anything everything is stock. I googled those terms but all those are new to me!
But after I tried to get into download mode I pressed down to restart, and it doesn't do the bootloop anymore. it goes to screen of tmobile 4g LTE after the samsung screen and just stops there. (also still can't get into recovery mode)

what's snapdragon and exynos note 3, I got tmobile note 3. I think I still got 50% battery life left the last time that it was working, should I get all thsoe done before battery dies or no worries?
so what are we doing? are we using Odin to get into TWRP, then transfer my pictures etc to desktop? then is TWRP pretty much the stock phone default mode or? sorry I am totally new at this. have very little idea what all those mean.

I recommend booting into download mode and noting the model number. Once you have this information, it will help determine which files should and should not be flashed to the phone.

so what do I need to do to fix this?? use download mode with odin and install new OS or? well what I am asking is can I search for threads that's similar to my problem then fix it, or is my problem pretty specific? need my phone asap

The phone won't charge the battery in the phone? If not, you may need a new battery, USB flex cable, usb cable and/or charger.

no no, I am asking is it ok to flash twrp (retrieve bricked bootloop note 3) and also flash to stock firmware with a dead battery, USB should provide power but read somwhere that I should have at least 50 to 60% power
can't really charge it because it will turn on the phone and goes into bootloops (well I guess maybe just leave it but it will charge very slowly I guess?)
Yes, flashing twrp should be fine. Can the phone charge the battery when the phone is not powered on?

when phone is off and I charge it, it will turn it on by itself and goes into bootloops (battery is ok, but phone is messed up)
I think ONE other time the screen went somewhere and just stayed there, forgot what it was only one time, but screen won't turn off.
either case I guess I can just leave it there maybe? let it charge but screen is always on and bootloops keeps going, maybe won't charge at all since it keeps bootloops, or charge very slowly when the screen is always on? also can't see the battery % since it's in bootloops.
(oh I can go to recovery mode or download mode for either case, maybe leave phone connected to USB there and let it charge?)
oh for twrp is ok? maybe after twrp I will just leave it connected to pc and let it charge 30 min or so then do flash back to stock firmware later, can I do that? (also if not enough battery while doing the twrp or flash back to stock firmware, I can brick it for good and can't fix it?)
It would be best to flash twrp, power off the phone from the TWRP menu, then charge it. It the phone powers on by itself after flashing from twrp, charge the phone from twrp.

My Samsung galaxy note 4 isn't working anymore, i kept my phone on charge and suddenly it went into download mode, i restarted the phone by removing the battery but it went into boot loop, i watched some YouTube videos which suggest to update the firmware using odin, i tried but it ended with an error i tried again but the same error continues, i checked on sam mobile for the correct firmware and i was using the correct one, after 3 attempts i gave up and removed the battery and restarted the phone and this time it does not boot, no LED no vibration nothing, i kept it on charge but same issue, tried different battery and the same issue. Its been 2 weeks its dead completely, when i connect the phone to laptop it does make the connect sound but nothing shows in odin, nothing in my computer. I found a video on youtube which suggest to use USB jig and am unable to find that as well. Please help me if you have any other suggestions or Solution for me.

Put your phone in freezer for couple of hours without battery then take it out wipe really dry insert battery then keep pressing and hold power button for 10 seconds until it vibrates.once you see samsung note 4 logo go yo download mode and flash recovery 4files firmware with pit file you can download 4file firmware from www.tsar3000.com
This sounds weird but trust me this crazy method works with many dead note 4 like yours.
Give it a try you won't lose anything since your device is already dead.

Try this:
Flash last Firmware for you device and after Odin finish and you see your phone boot up, pull down your battery, press home+lock button+volume up, go down (with volume and lock key) and apply a Factory reset and wipe cache, and restart your unit. Good Luck!
