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.

I'm not a noob and have tried everything I can think of - hooking my phone up to my pc via odin and adb with zero results. Tried plugging on my phone overnight, etc etc.
My problem - I was at work and took a photo with the camera app, the camera crashed, then I opened the gallery. I went to reboot my phone and nothing happens. Now when I try to power on the phone, nothing happens. I do a battery pull and then put the battery back in and it boots up for no more than 3 seconds to the Samsung logo and then turns off. If I try booting into recovery, same thing - just turns off and the same situation if I try to boot into download mode. Has anyone encountered this problem? Note that I am running a custom recovery - Philz CWM. I fear the worst; my phone is perma bricked.
edit; FIXED - Faulty power button. Power button will stay in and not pop out without prying at it.
Hi guys,
I have an issue with my phone:
Yesterday, tried to restore factory settings, since the phone was quite slow.
A second or so after I confirmed the reset, the phone turned off and wouldn't start.
I took out the battery and it was swollen.
I bought a new battery today, inserted and stated the phone.
What happens now, is that the phone boots, Samsung logo appears, then the TWRP logo appears, from this point, the phone stuck at this logo screen,
and flashes every few seconds (I can't post a video here, so I can share the link in private, if anyone can take a look).
I tried to leave the phone for about 20mins without battery at all, removed SD cards, removed SIM cards, no use.
Trying to boot to recovery or download mode gives the same result.
Tried today with an original battery of a friend's Galaxy S4 , same result.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do?
Thanks in advance for you help

Sound to me your power button is stuck/faulty. Does it reboot also when in download mode? If so, then it's your power button. Wiggle it loose or replace it.

It never gets to download (or recovery) mode...
It keeps flashing at the logo of the TWRP

I don't think it's the power button. Otherwise it would turn off if it is stuck or not turn on at all if it's faulty.
Still, I wouldn't exclude it.
The screen flashing might related to a GPU problem. I don't think it is a problem you can fix yourself.
Hi, I have a Samsung S4 (i9500 International) on Android 5.0.1
I cannot get any logs, apologies.
Stuck in Boot loop, CAN'T even access Recovery. If there is another thread for this please kindly let me know, thanks.
I had CM12.1 on for a month (working perfectly) until my device started rebooting all the time.
I then wiped all cache and deleted all data, moved to Aurora N4/S6 Port Rom for 2 days, but same thing.
I have: Taken out the battery, sim card, memory card, drained all power, deleted apps (All together, combination of some, and separately).
I cannot boot into Recovery (TWRP) as it; reboots either on Recovery Loading screen, or while actually in Recovery.
It will sometimes completely reboot and I can use my device for different variants of time.
The battery has gotten really hot, when this started, but not a common occurrence.
Whenever the battery is inserted, and device is not charging, it will start the boot loop.
While the device is off & charging, the charging screen will flash.
What are the possible causes, AND / OR fixes?
Thanks in advance.
Could be something related to your power button.
Your power button is stuck and needs to be fixed by releasing or replacing it, happened to me once and solved by hitting the phone on the ground xD
But you can access the button if you are a handy guy.
Ok. so my friend was in the library with me so his phone crashed. so he pulled the battery and put it back in. (sm-g900v) and then it boot looped. and did so again. so i wiped cache partition as well as factory reset it. and it still dident work. so i bought my friends phone home and i downloaded his stock rom off of sammobile. (and yes. it was the right 1) anyway so i stock romed it and it was success. but it still boot looped after i stock romed it. so i pulled the battery out and put it back in and now the screen dosent even turn on. But my computer can steal read it. any help? i cant go into recovery or download mode. even when i hold the power button. threres no vibration. untill i plug it in to the computer. any 1? help?
Try leaving it charging overnight maybe just battery died and drained to a very low state to low to turn on
Also what does the phone say when it is connected to Computer what is the phone recognized as?
What does the sticker below the battery say the phone model is?

Im so lost with this, im all stock but one day my phone just freezes then bootloop, I would be able to get it work by just leaving it and let it drain itself since it will be boot looping and lock me out completely, like the power button + low volume button would not work even after 10 minutes of holding it, would not boot to download or recovery mode, just the soft touch keys light on and the blue LED.
I reflashed my ROM from sammobile yesterday but did it half-effort, just dirty flashed it but it seemed to reformatted my phone anyway, after reflashing it, everything seemed to work properly for 20 hours and then now im back to this piece of ********* boot looping...
S7 Edge
running the Australia unbranded XSA-G935FXXS1DQG4 from the branded G935FXXS1DQG5,
would flashing de-branded affect this? or this is hardware?, one thing I did that I think was a mistake is that I chose to restore from old device, can apps cause this?
the very first time this happened, I plugged it in to charge then crash and bootloop.
UPDATE:
Things I've tried,
-Booting with NO sim card and SD Card
-Wiping cache and partition then reflashing stock XSA and OPS firmwares
im convinced that this is a hardware issue and will go to Samsung.
mine does this too. crashes then gets into a bootloop at the Samsung logo. I usually try holding the lock and volume down button. I factory reset the phone once but it still keeps happening, this started happening around 4 weeks ago
