Hello!
This morning my s4 decided to randomly power off on me whilst I was using it, and now it wont power back on without looping on the bootscreen where the white text "Samsung Galaxy S4" appears. I attempted to boot into recovery, but I just get the blue text "recovery booting" in the corner with no action at all even after 10 minutes. Download mode works, but even after reflashing the stock firmware i'm getting the same issue. The battery appears to be functional as normal, charging up and displaying charge in my old s4. Please respond with any ways I can potentially get it back up and running (even if I lose all data) ASAP.
Thanks!
Try nand erase all + stock rom, it might work, otherwise try an other battery.

So I am on a stock GT9500, suddenly today the phone restarts, gets stuck on the Samsung logo and keeps going into a loop till the Samsung logo.
Also, as soon I remove and insert the battery, the loop starts. I dont have to press the power button for it to start.
The battery was about 70% if I recall correctly. It wont go into recovery and I am unable to try download mode with odin as I am in Office.
Any help please?
Your only option is Odin given you have no recovery.
Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.

If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.
In my T-Mobile Galaxy S4, I am getting weird loot loop. When I power on the device, It shows Samsung logo, and then go black. When I connect to charger, It shows "charging" for one second and go black. When I try boot into recovery menu, it shows it for a split second and go black. The Only place where I can see the display is "downloading" mode. I managed to put in downloading mode and flash stock ROM twice using Odin, and it was completed successfully, but then when I try boot device, it shows Samsung logo and go black, the whole cycle repeats.
I couldn't understand what is the problem at all. The Display looks fine in "Odin" downloading mode, and since I reflashed firmware, I am going nuts trying to understand.
Please help.
Hi,
Re-flash stock firmware should fix this (I hope it).
Sent from my GT-I9500
Try flashing stock again but don't check anything except f.reset time. After flashing and you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot to recovery, and perform a factory wipe.
Btw, the T-Mobile s4 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
Dear Galaxy tab experts!
I have read on several places in the Internet that some people has suffered
in a boot loop. The Internet recommends to do a hard reset via
the recovery mode. OK. Unfortunately, my device fails to enter the recovery mode.
My Samsung Galaxy tab 4 SM-T530 has been working fine for for about 2.5 years
until last weekend. Now it does not boot but stays in a reboot loop. That
means that The boot logo shows up for a while and disappears after
about 10 seconds.
I was searching the Internet and I wanted to try out the recovery mode
but I am not able to reach it. When I press Power + Volume Up + Home buttons,
the label "recovery booting ..." appears in the upper left corner of the
display for a while and thereafter, the boot loop continues.
Fortunately, I am able to shutdown my device by pressing
the Power + Volume Down buttons.
The tab has been used about 10 hours per week. I have never uploaded
any ROM or firmware.
The boot loop has started when I was charging my device. I used the
official Samsung USB charging connector as always. During the
charge process, I wanted to see the charge progress like I
have done it many times before but I only saw a grey battery and after that,
the boot loop has started.
I have no problem to do a hard reset and to wipe out my data.
My device contains no important personal data.
What do you recommend to get my device working again?
Thank you in advance!
Hi
I am stuck with Pulsing blue LED and the "Powered by Android" screen,
have access to both the recovery and the Odin Mode,
I also have Odin (version 3.13) on my computer along with TWRP (3.1.1 trlte and 3.2.1 version)
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F bought in shop, no special carrier. It was bought in Belgium.
I have tried everything that I have read. The furthest that I can go is the Second Samsung Logo with the Flashing Light
Whenever I try to Flash the stock Firmware for my N910F, everything goes well in Odin but then when the phone reboots, it (sometimes) install the system update until 30% then shows erasing then either crashes right there and then or load the system update bar, completes it then shuts down.
In between I do perform a wipe of the cache and factory reset of course. (in both normal and TWRP recovery)
Whatever I do, at some point, my phone either gets stuck in a bootloop, freezes with the LED light or shuts down.
Oh and I can transfer files directly to the internal storage with no issue
Please help a brother out lol. I have spent the last 4 days looking for a way to fix this. To no avail.
And I have also proceeded to use different batteries.
I have the exact same problem. Doesn't anyone have an idea?
