I'm no expert on this, but you can try taking out battery. Hold power button to discharge hardware and put battery back in and see if it works. You can also try factory reset & wipe cache from recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power) and try again.
Your phone at least goes to Download mode so that's good sign I guess. You're using ODIN to flash 5.0.2, right?
Wait more experienced person to answer, though.

Thanks bro, but i did what u said and it's still not working, the problem here is that windows does not recognize my s4 (usb port: unknown device, code 29) , yes i'm using odin to flash, but i can't flash until my device be recognized, that's why i need to know if my device's usb port is damaged?

It looks like the PC does recognize something is connected; it just doesn't know what the device is. This makes me think USB port is fine otherwise PC wouldn't recognize anything AT ALL. Does the phone still charge?
You can try the 3 methods here. I know it says for Code 28, but it will reinstall drivers for usb ports. Restart and see if phone is detected.
If it's still not detected, remove Samsung drivers, Kies, or anything related to Samsung phone. Restart and install Samsung USB drivers again. Restart again and see if phone is detected.

bro i'm afraid it did not work, perhaps replacing usb port on my device? or the whole flex?
aditional data: my nephew unplugged the usb cable by mistake while i was flashing canada stock 5.0.2 , obviously odin "failed" , but after that , windows 7 does not recognize my device anymore. i can still go into download mode.

Well, I'm stumped too now, man. You can try the driver thing I said on another computer. I don't know any other things you can try.
If you can charge your phone, your usb port probably works fine. The firmware got corrupted, causing this problem most likely.

solved!!

loop boot quickly

Sorry for my English I will try to explain my problem.
After rooting everything was fine, but when I try to flash stock firmware somethings happen.First problem is that my PC cannot detect the phone with Odin and adb or mass storage I am 100% sure that the problem are not the drivers because I root that phone on the same PC before a week and of course I try everything on a another computer, but without success.
Download mode Odin cannot detect the phone! after many attempts to fix usb problem now the phone cannot boot , only in recovery (loop)after every start it's show recovery with message
Filesystems:
system: rfs
data: rfs
cashe: rfs
maybe system, data and cache files are erased I don't know.
recovery version is 0.1.3.b5
How can I flash stock firmware without PC. For example HTC devices can flash from SD card - Gold card, and PB99IMG.zip (I can't explain very well what I mean sorry)
Maybe the phone is usb bricked !
working..
recovery - only recovery
Download mode Volume Down + power off + camera ) - but cannot connect to PC and Odin.
not working
after flashing new costume ROM - the same thing - reboot to recovery
installed software on pc
android SDK,Kiesmini_1.0.0.10075_1,Samsung PC studio 1.5.1.10064_2,Drivers for spica on (Windows 7 x86)
really I cant find post like this !!! and sorry for my English
If you can go to download mode and phone is not detected, then you have bad drivers or bad usb in PC. Try another PC.
I have 3 pc and 2 cables and the same problem cannot detect. Can I flash new stock firmware without odin ?

Calm down. Did you read what I posted above? I said nothing about drivers. Have you tried other USB ports? Most people find the ports on the back of the CPU work the best, not ones on the front, or on a hub. It does make a difference.

MTP, ADB, PC wont see them, ODIN pc see my phone. Also OTG my phone recognise it.

Hi all.
I need help.
My pc wont recognise my phone anymore. deleted all the drivers and everything.
ADB and USB not working.
But when i put my phone into download mode. my pc recognise my phone again.
But when booted my pc wont see my phone.
My phone only say's he's connected to a charger..
i already checked *#0808#
MTP + ADB is checked.
Tried this on other PC's and same error..
Think something is wrong with mounting data or something?
How did this happen,
i installed twrp recovery + crisscross mod.
After that MTP + adb isnt working anymore..
Flashed stock back on the phone but no results..
OTG is working great on the phone.
Please help
EDIT::
Problem is solved.
I drained the battery to 0%.
Didn't charge for an hour.
Connected phone to PC via USB, in Download mode.
Then flashed Philz recovery.
Reboot to system, and problem's were fixed.
Yes, I have the same problem. G920P
Teardown check after I found the USB interface power supply is normal!
The '1.9 v from The then measured normal tail current 5 v
I ruled out the power supply and USB interface problems
Has not ruled out the mainboard problem

Android boot loop on Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (i9060)

Hey!
New to XDA but a complete fan of the help and guides you guys provide.
So, I acquired an i9060 smartphone and successfully installed CM 11 without the help of my laptop since the usb cable through Odin never worked for me (driver issues on Win10?).
Unfortunately, my phone entered an Android boot loop. And now with a lot of attempt I can't even enter CWM or even charge my smart phone, as it always reboots while trying to charge the battery (it's always drained) or gets stuck during logo before accessing CWM.
I tried to install Samsung drivers, Kies, ABD, Odin to restore the firmware but... nothing seems to recognise this Samsung device. Does anyone had the same problems I'm having now? Any suggestions?
You might try another USB cable, USB port, or even another computer. Without Odin, you're not going to be able to fix this since recovery is no longer available.

Tried on 3 laptops but the problem persists. Never thought of changing my usb cable though. I'll give it a shot
Btw, is there anyway to use an external SD card to force a factory reset?

Have you considered the possibility that your power button is sticking? Not the part that you touch but the hardware switch behind it?
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
Are you using the stock cable or at least a USB cable with the same number of pins/pinouts?

[Help] No Recovery, Boot loop, and not recognized by Odin

Seems I've hit the jackpot, my phone's a potato. I had just installed king of nougat v9 and it worked fine until I rebooted into recovery by holding the power button and selecting recovery. At first it was in a boot loop and wouldn't open recovery or get recognized by odin, I read somewhere here to disconnect the battery so I opened the back cover and disconnected it which apparently ****ed the phone a step further now it's dead unless it's connected to a power source and after disconnecting it stays on samsung logo/download mode for a bit then dies.
On my old rom it was working fine except for the fact that I couldn't connect the phone to pc as storage, and it couldn't recognize usb devices I plugged in using the adapter. I took the phone to a repair shop and they said they replaced the micro usb assembly and it still didn't show up on odin, then a few days later they said it's a problem with the power IC and they replaced that then the guy said it worked once on odin then stopped again.
Idk what to do lol, phone's bricked or should I try a different repair shop incase these were idiots.
note: it says device descriptor request failed when connected to pc
Have you tried to reboot to the bootloader by holding down the power button, home button and volume down when your phone is at the android logo?

Then it means you must install Samsung drivers, so that the computer would recognize your phone. Try downloading smart switch or kies and that should also install the drivers.
or try different ver. of odin

tried both of the above
Try clean install Samsung Drivers and other version of Odin. It should be (have to be) show in Odin after all of these.

it says device descriptor request failed when connected to pc
"device descriptor request failed when connected to pc" sounds like a windows problem not android. You can check in the "computer management" device manager to see if the phone is recognized. I am going to assume not.

Hey, do you figured it out what problem it is? I've the same problem and tried all of the PC/Windows tips and tricks.

PC won't detect S7, all conventional fixes exhausted!!

I've got 5 S7s on my desk, all Canadian variant, all from the same manufacturer all the same model. - SM-G930W8
All are recognised by my PC but one and I can't work out why not!
Plugging the phone into the PC makes no noise from the PC but the phone seems to detect a regular charger not a PC.
I have plugged it in using different cables including the one in its box and the ones used on other devices that were recognised and only this phone doesn't work with any of them.
I have plugged in, unplugged and rebooted many times.
I have set the USB configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)/Transferring files.
USB Debugging is ON and OEM unlocking is ON.
I have tried booting into stock recovery and wiping cache AND factory resetting.
When phone is turned on "adb devices" returns nothing.
I have installed Samsung Kies and Samsung Smart Switch to reinstall the drivers.
NOTHING IS WORKING!
All threads I find tell me to do the things I have listed above and have people saying these have worked but all of them I had already tried and double tried and nothing is working.
The cables are correct and working with other S7s of the same model.
All the correct drivers are installed and have been uninstalled and reinstalled.
All the correct setting are selected and OEM unlock and USB debugging enabled.
Phone was fresh out the box as were the other four and all cables.
Samsungs apps installed on PC to ensure best drivers installed.
Would really appreciate some guidance or consolation that its not something stupid I'm doing! I work with these phones everyday and this has never happened! Just banging my head against a brick wall trying to resolve it
maybe faulty usb port, my nephew had S6 with the same issue, service replaced usb port and it started
to work with PC.
try download mode and see if odin see your phone.
try to move the cable a lil bit and see if sth appears for a second.

Thanks but unfortunately Odin doesn't recognise in download mode.
Could it be a USB port problem if I used the same port for the other 4 devices and have no issue?
I'm considering sending the phone back to manufacturer to be honest I think it may just be a faulty device or something!
I bet its microusb port fault
Had a similar issue on Windows 10 , if that's what your running let the phone be connected, uninstall the driver from device manager, and then install driver select have disk and select the basic mtp , if this doesn't help connect to Microsoft support and they'll guide you through it , worked for me , my phone used to detect on other laptops but mine , also I could connect other phones on mine but not my phone, hope this helps
same issue here
