I can help you, I bricked my phone about a month ago and it took me 2 weeks to fix it. But I learned exactly how everything works and how to fix it. Give me some time and I will type a post and upload all the necessary files.
Partitioned
Have you ever partitioned your phone for CM10.1 or some other reason?

Well mine S4 turned of last night it freezed and it turned off. I'm on Broodroms Pre Final 4.4.4. After that it turned on and shows only the S4 splash screen and then it turns off again and it won't turn on. After i pulled out the battery and placed it back then it boots but then again it shows only the S4 splash screen and then it turns off again. I've read some things on the internet that it maybe can be a dead battery that is causing this problem. Or maybe it is an another problem maybe that you XDA members can help me it would be great :fingers-crossed:

If u can boot to recovery, flash your stock official rom. Should be fixed after that.
Or you can also flash your official rom in Odin.

Is your phone charged? The very basic question.
Put it on charging for a while try getting in the download mode then.
If still no succes..then there is a way too...

That happened to me once and reason was because the phone was not charging (even if USB has power supplied).
To solve this, I first removed it from the samsung charger and charged it using a laptop or computer for approximately 10 minutes.
That will get it charging

try booting into download mode if at all possible and try flashing a stock ROM via odin!!
hit Thanks if it helped!!
I've tried to connect it to my laptop but it won't charge unfortunately. I'm also not possible to get it in to download mode it shutdown after a few seconds. And it wil only turn on If I remove the battery and replace it the phone will vibrate, show the Galaxy S4 splash screen for a second or two, then it turns off again. Searching on the internet people say that it's a faulty battery so i could try that method and if that is not working i think it's something with the mainbord (i hope not)

Change the battery AND/OR
Try a USB JIG then. The final thing that can be done. Heard it works with i9500 too.
Buy yourself a USB JIG from ebay or something and try getting in the download mode. It costs less than INR200.
Thank me if I helped

Sure.
Might be some moisture that is not letting the electricity pass properly too...
Clean the terminal of the battery and the connectors of the phone..see if this works?
Well something like this hapoened to my note 2 because of moisture in the charging jack..the charging jack was okay but the battery wentt kaputt.

Yes i will buy a new battery and try to turn it on again, And otherwise i'm going to use my mates S4 to flash a stock ROM onto it by placing my mainbord in that S4
Well i've received my new battery and tried it but the same result so i don't know what could be the next problem maybe you people have got some other ideas what the problem could be? (hope so)
I've made a video of the problem. Don't mind the screen it's broken for half a year so far and the phone was still functional. Last sunday this problem appeared and i don't know what to do so far...

Well i finally found the problem it was the power button that was jammed the whole time so removed the power button thing from the mid frame and the problem was solved so now i need to go to a phone repair shop and maybe they can solder a new power button switch on the mainbord thank you for your help and this thread can be closed now.
Hi, my Galaxy S4 suddenly died out while I was using it halfway. It was still charging (actually 100% already). The phone blackout and I couldnt turn it on.
Here's what I tried:
1) pull out battery and wait for a while then put it back and power on
Result: nothing happens
2) same as 1) but with another spare battery
Result: nothing happens
3) let it charge (to power socket) and waited for about 15 mins
Results: the top side of the phone was warm (beside the microSD slot) and I still cannot power on.
Is this phone useless already?

Hi mate
Sorry to hear what happen .
Question after you switched to phone on and waited maybe 1-2 min did you try to connect it to the pc, see if the system is alive if you have access to your files.....if so the phone is ok..but maybe the screen is dead or something is loose inside.

I didn't hear any sound or vibration when I switch it on. I have not try connecting to PC but even if I could, the phone has password lock so I still cannot access unless I unlock the phone

The idea is to find out if the problem is the phone or the display , if the pc recognices the phone it means that the phone works...no real need to acces your files
If it does not then your problem is in the electronics and not in the display......just an idea

mate ,
it looks like a hardware problem take it toSamsung if in warranty still or to a local service center...
I had a similar problem in the past and it ended up being my power button was malfunctioning. It was apparently just stuck in an off/on loop but not showing anything on screen....
Look like mainboard short circuit since top side of the phone got warm and also I assumed from op that display never show anything again.

Is there hope of getting back all the data if it can be repaired? Around how much will it cost? My warranty finished about a month ago

If this case, it would be switching off and on all the time? At least showing something on the screen?

hi
as i said before ...take it to a local service center, could be samsung or a local repair shop
Hello everyone,
I have an S3 neo, it's 6 months old. About 2 months ago i started checking in this forums, and then i flashed cm12, and started adding custom roms to my phone. Everything was well, phone was working fine, and so on.
One morning i woke up and my phone went off, and when i turn it on, it's black screen. I restarted few times, took out memory card, and poof it worked. Was all good.
I left it like that and next morning it happened again. And since then i tried all the ways, like take out battery, hold power button 1 min then try to turn it on after few minutes, and so on. Nothing worked. Pulling out memmory card or sim card didn't work either. It's like this for almost 2 weeks i can't use the phone.
I cant get in download mode or custom recovery i i don't know why it won't react on that. It turns on each time like normally, led notifiaction works, the lights on home and back button works, only screen is black. I can unlock it, and such things but cant see anything.
I even succesfully did a factory reset over play store from pc, but that didn't help either..
Biggest problem is that its under warranty but since custom rom i can't take it to service unless i have money to pay... which i dont
I have NEVER DROPPED it, it was never in water, and so on. Doesn't have a scratch at all.
It even has sound, and everything. Just freaking black screen ....
So what i am asking is if anyone here knows how to remove custom rom and custom recovery over pc,is it possible, without the screen? Any way to do it so i can get warranty back ? All i need is a freaking stock rom and stock recovery and a binary reset i guess. Just freaking would need screen to work for 5 mins eh....
If anyone has any ideas please post them, thanks..

I think you can boot to download mode or revovery. The LED notifi and backlight buttons won't turn on if you boot to download mode or recovery.
Just try to boot to...
1. download mode. Just press and hold for 2-3 seconds power + home + volume down
2. then wait 3 seconds. After that press volume up.
3. Connect your phone to pc, open odin and check if a device is connected.
4. If a device was found by odin - flash a ROM (stock or something else) and hope that this will fix the black screen problem.
Good luck!!
Hi, thanks for ur reply but... My phone turns on when i click home + volume down + power button. I hear sound, blue led notification and so on.......
But when turned on, when i connect to usb odin recognizes it, says connected, and when i try to install the rom i it takes really long and on the end i get fail..*attached the screenshot of fail) I guess because its not in download mode. Any other suggestions how i could get in download mode more?
More suggestions please?thanks
Anyone has any ideas ?
So what all i tried is
Remove battery, hold power button for 1-2 mins, let phone for few mins and turn it on. didn't work
I tried with adb,but usb debugging not on so cmd cant find my device
Only thing left i guess if someone has idea how to get in download mode in some other way or some program that doesnt reguire download mode but can flash rom and etc.
@Crazeh
Take it back to the nearest service center and act the dumb ("I don't know what is wrong with it")
I have done that many times
They are prob gonna call me and tell me to pay for fix
No one has any idea what else should i try ?
try link2sd app form play store. it has the option to boot to download mode. I think titanium backup has the feature also.
My screen is black so i can't do anything on it.....
try to disable ambient screen. report if problem persist
How should i disable ambient screen ? While i can't see anything on phone cause of black screen ?thanks for reply Rox
Anyone?

ok so i think your problem isn't due to any rom but hardware problem
power off your phone remove the back , look on the left you see a little trap , open it , now you see connector it is the one of the screen try to see if you can disconnect and reconnect it
power on your phone and see if it work :fingers-crossed:
Where is that little trap?
btw if i do this will i loose my warranty completely ?

If Odin recognizes it, it means it's in Download mode. The device has different interaction with the host over USB when it's not in Download mode.
I don't see the screenshot of the failure. It may be that something got broken in your hardware, so the flashing fails. There's a known issue with the S3 called "Sudden death syndrome", I don't know if it applies also to the S3 Neo, where some of the memory of the ROM fails suddenly. If that is the case (I'm not saying it is, but it might be), there's no fix other than replacing the hardware.
Odin doesnt go over setup connection. cant post screenshot bc im new to the site. btw im sure the phone is on but recognized in odin...
My mom bought this phone for me and it worked fine! I cracked the screen and it still worked. But one day I was charging it up and I started using it. When the battery ran out and I plug it in it doesn't want to turn on but when I plug it into my pc it connects but it doesn't recognize it. I tried installing drivers and still doesn't recognize it and it does not want to turn on. Since then I haven't tried to do something but bought a new phone but running back to it I want it working.. why would you want a phone sitting dead like that when I can sell it or something. Pls who knows a possible solution help me out man !
