Galaxy s4 in bootloop, just can enter to download mode - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, as i said, my girlfriend's galaxy s4 is stucked in a bootloop when she was playing farmville.
The phone is completely stock and with the last firmware.
I cannot enter into recovery, just can go to download mode, in which the phone is perfectly stable (is stable also when is charging on the pc).
I've tried almost everything and one time i was able to boot the device and enter to the home launcher, turn two pages and then bootloop.
Sometimes (two or three) the device stuck on a green screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried to:
- reflash the stock firmware with odin, i get no problems and the device PASS the installation but the problem isn't resolved.
- remove sd card
- change battery
- play with the power button
I've no idea on how to fix this, why i can enter into download mode and bootloops finish?
A big thanks to everyone.

Probably hardware failure. You can try to flash the rom with .pit file and re-partition as a last resort. If it still wont boot then, then you have hardware failure.

Thanks Lenny, but how is it possible that in download mode the phone is perfectly stable?

This is the way how to unbrick samsung galaxy s
If you have a black screen like the one shown above and you cant boot into recovery and download mode there are three things you need to do:
1. Take Battery out
2. Connect phone to computer
3.Whilst putting battery in press Vol-Down+Power+Home button
This will boot you SGS into download mode and you can just flash a rom with odin
This won't help you if you hardbricked your phone (what usually is defined as not being able to get into download mode at all).
Add "softbrick" in title.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think Softbrick is the term people use for the state. I had the same problem on Friday night and got a thread by searching for Phone-!-Computer on Google.
To clarify on the OP:
Step 2 is optional IMHO, I attached the phone after I got into download mode.
Also, to explain step 3: Press the three buttons, and keep them pressed while inserting the battery, and and the phone should get into download mode instantly.
Just what i was looking for, but i need the stock firmware for the fascinate sch-i500

My Galaxy S5's screen does not show anything, although it normally boot.

I have an issue with my Rooted Galaxy S5 SM-G900H MarshMallow:
I have used it normally before. But yesterday, when i restarted it, it automatically went to Download Mode.
After waiting for a long time in Download Mode, i decided to turn my phone off by removing the battery.
After that i've gotten a BIG ISSUE:
- My phone still boot normally (I can hear the Booting Sound) but nothing appear on screen. "SamSung Galaxy S5" doesn't appear too.
- The "Recent App" Key still light (see the picture) after booting.
- I can't turn off my phone unless i remove the battery.
- I still can get into Download Mode and flash ROM, but nothing appear again !
I've tried to fix it. I've gotten into Download Mode and used Odin to flash stocked MarshMallow ROM successfully, but it hasn't been solved.
Is it a Hardware or Software Issue? In case of Software Issue, How can i fix that? Can i flash Bootloader to fix it?
Please help me!!!
Here're the picture of my phone after booting:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Looks like a serious issue. I do not know what is the reason.

Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U) Flash Interrupted - HELP!

I was trying to root and mod my spare Galaxy S8 and during the process the battery died... now it is stuck on the boot screen. When it turns on it opens to the custom Samsung boot screen and does not change or boot any further. When I reboot it with the button combination it boots into upload mode. From there I must reboot again. I can still get into download mode and into android recovery mode, but have been unsuccessful at and attempts of flashing with Odin, ADB, or from the SD card. I am completely confused. Any advice will help and be greatly appreciated!

Use modded Odin with the latest firmware which is QL1.
Stop trying to root
I having a similar problem, just that it DID finished updating. Now it's stuck at boot screen even after updating it to the last version available (AQL1). I don't know what else to do....
well I gave up and finally went to Best Buy and spoke with a samsung employee.
I was able to get my phone back in 100% working order! He just used his special scan tool and flashed it the very first time. For FREE!!!!!

[HELP] LG G2 not working and device storage is extremely fragmented into pieces

Hi all
I had a LG G2 ( d802 ) which was broken and I tried to meddle with it a bit. It isn't booting up and when it booted, either it stucks at bootlogo or boots up to PIN screen, locks itself up and reboots.
So after couple of failings I finally booted it up in download mode and tried to flash stock rom (kdz file) from there. It succesfully flashed, booted up and stuck at welcome screen again and shut itself down. When I tried to open it, the phone still stucks at bootlogo. However when I connect it in download mode to my computer and look to the Windows Disk Management, device storage is fragmented into a lot of pieces. Is there a fix for this ?

All of this pieces belongs to the phone ( all of disk 2 ) and there is more, I couldnt fit all of them into a single image.
Yeah this is exactly what happened to me the past few days. Whatever you do, don't delete those random partitions. They will render your phone completely inoperable.
I tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERZvlJIC9dE without much luck. Still lots of fragmentation and could not enter download mode for more than a couple of seconds or recovery either.

Galaxy S8 SM-G950F - Boat loop since update of 21.10.

Hello guys,
I have a Galaxy S8 in my hand, which tried to update itself yesterday during a car ride via OTA. But the update obviously went wrong, because since then there is only one boat loop left. I once tried to start the recovery mode and trigger a wipe. However, this only causes me to end up in recovery again. If I flash the current firmware via ODIN it works, but I end up in the boot loop again.
Does anyone have an idea?

With my S8 never unlocked, never flashed i have the same error in recovery.
My phone don't boot loop but after power on, the animation freeze (ring turning) and phone reboot 30s later. after reboot phone is very long to start: more than an minute.
i ask samsung for this problem. they just said "it's an app problem, not an phone problem ! reboot your phone in safe mode"
have you tried to make an full wipe ?
edit: i did'nt see you have an dm-verity error
I dont know what dm-verity is. The phone was never manipulated with other firmware or sth.
