My brother just installed CM on his phone. It all worked fine and then a few days later, when restarting the phone, it showed the galaxy s4 logo screen and then a few seconds later it turns off.
Now it won't even turn on. I have to remove the battery and then replace it and then only it turns on. Only to turn off again.
I try to go into recovery or bootloader, but it turns off again. The recover or bootloader screen shows up but then the phone turns off in a few seconds.
Cannot detect on ODIN. When I plug a USB cable in, it won't turn on at all. Even when I replace the battery and try. If I could just connect it through ODIN, I could flash the stock rom and kernel.
There is also an error message on the top left of the screen saying, "Kernel Is Not Seandroid Enforcing, Set Warranty Bit". Is this an issue?
Really need some help. No clue what is going on with this phone...

I guess the error message you was in download mode. Did you tried replacing your battery and then going recovery or download mode?
This is not a software problem.
You have a faulty battery or some other hardware failure.
I will try another battery. My mate has an S4 that works. I will use his battery and see if it is the battery.
I was hoping it wouldn't be the hardware. It is out of warranty now.
Thanks guys.

I can also be a broken power button. Those parts are like € 2 and not that hard to replace.

I had just finished flashing and configuring crash rom v19, when my phone suddenly powered off.
Now it's not the first time I flash a new rom to my note 3 by any means, but this is a first.
Now my phone won't power on if not plugged in, and even then it powers on for less than a second, long enough to see the battery charging picture or the note 3 logo.
Recovery won't boot, but download mode works flawlessly, I pulled out odin3 with the stock ROM for my sm-n9005, checked the regin was right and everything, and after flashing using odin all I got was my phone rebooting over and over again trying to access recovery, then it booted no problem to the samsung logo, played the tune and even showed me my lockscreen for a second, and it's back to rebooting itself every 3 seconds.
Anybody have any idea what I'm facing here?
Edit: First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to take it to a store to try a new battery
@E-Chan42.
You can try this out.
I am not sure will this fix your problem.
First, charge your phone for 3 hours. Second, hard reset your phone then flash Stock firmware using ODIN.

I've had my phone plugged in for a short while, but since it keeps vibrating, showing an empty battery picture turning off, vibrating and so on every second I'm not sure charging will actually difference to my issue, still thanks for the input and I'll give it a try.
Ohm....
Then I guess it must be a Battery issue.
Give it a shot. Let's see if that works.
Took it in to my retailer and samsung guy restored the original ROM with Odin just as I did, when it didn't work he sent it off under garantee, thanks for your help! I'll update when I get a word back!
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
Trying to boot to download or recovery modes, gives the same results
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.
I installed the 6.0 Marshallow Update on my Samsung Galaxy J5 Smartphone from Smart Switch on my PC. At first everything was OK. I plugged it, and it started downloading. Nothing unusual. When it ended, it said that the phone is restarting, so I should unplug it and plug it again, to see if it worked. The first unusual thing was that the phone didn't restart. It was just turned off. And I passed that because I thought I misread. So I unplug the phone from the PC and try to power it on. This is when the REAL weird stuff comes. At first, the "Samsung Galaxy J5 Powered by Android" logo shows up. Nothing special. Then a yellow-blue line shows up below the logo. I don't give it enough attention. After that, the screen starts to go green. Slowly turning green. . .The logo didn't disappear. My first reaction was to remove the battery, wait 10 seconds and put it back. I now try to charge it, to see if it happens again. AGAIN THE SAME! The yellow-blue line shows up, the screen starts to slowly turn green. I then wait to see what happens. The screen goes green. Completly. The screen needed a few more seconds to turn COMPLETLY GREEN. But I was soooo scared I took the battery and the charger off. I put it back up but this time, I wanted to go to recovery mode, so I can simply click "Reboot Phone". I couldn't. There was nothing I can do. I now have the phone without the battery and I want to know what is happening and how to fix it. I am really scared so I need help ASAP!

Hello!
I think you flashed other firmware than your phone model. Thats how it happened on my J500FN when i tried 6.0.1 firmware from J500F since J500FN didnt have official update.
Download a firmware for your phone model, 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 and flash through ODIN, then the problem should be gone.
This happened on my phone when I put 6.1 on via odin but then I simply tried a different recovery and the recovery was the problem
John
Anyone know how to fix this problem? I cant use odin because it wont let me go to recovery or download mode
This is happening to my phone with the exact same situation, but now I can't seem to connect to the pc with the cable - what should I do?

It happen because you use latest odin. flash again using odin 3.07 and see how it goes. It fixed mine. Had to double flash. First flash was giving me green screen. It won even pass the bootloader. Then enter download mode and reflash it using odin 3.07, it works like a charm now.

It's happen when you flash ur custom rom (only for bootloader lollipop) using bootloader marsmallow. The solution is ur phone must be support the requirements of ur custom rom.
Hi,so i replaced LCD in my I9515, I've been doing this with youtube tutorial. Before 1-2 weeks ago my phone boot normally but i couldnt see anything due to broken LCD. In store, guy took my battery and connected it to a naked motherboard and lcd to see if it's working. After replacment when i try to boot it's stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and wont boot further. I can go into download mode, computer and odin are seeing connected phone, but i cannot boot into recovery it's just showing blue "booting recovery" and nothing happening. When I charging it, the grey battery pops out, but when i unplug it the battery is still there like it's still connected. Sometimes when i try to turn it off when it's stuck on galaxy s4 logo it's turning off then on by itself like 2 or 3 times. Any ideas how to fix it? It's hardware or software problem? In a minutes i'll try to flash stock soft from sammobile. Phone was never rooted and no custom roms were installed.
Thanks for all help.
EDIT Flashing with ODIN not solved the problem
EDIT Now phone doesnt show battery when connected just one vibrate and screen is blank, and when i try to boot it while connected it's just vibrating and still black screen. When it was connected to pc it was vibrating every 2 seconds. When I try to boot it's by itself trying to boot recovery but it's not booting and blue "recovery booting" just hang on top of screen and nothing happening.
EDIT After restarting it from download mode it's get back to the problem i had in the beggining
EDIT Just flashed 4-files soft with PIT and nothing changed
I think the screen may not have been replaced properly.
And motherboard is broken now ? I think i did everything right.
There might be a short circuit somewhere. I can't tell you exactly.
So the best option now it's tech look at it?

Yes. Unless you have some tech-savvy friends who could also look at it.
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?
