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 restart by volume down in download mode S4 acts like in the beggining of problem
EDIT It's getting hot around processor when charging (about 5-10 min)

half alseep, i attempted to update my tab the "official" way with the software update options. it downloaded in the background pleasantly enough, then prompted a reboot, ok i said.
after seeing that good old galaxy tab 10.1 boot logo, the logo was replaced with a slightly larger one.
for a split second i saw a load bar at the bottom of the screen, i only saw "9%" before it vanished, replaced with a totally black screen
"that's fine" i said "probably just silently installing"
twenty minutes with no change later i was getting worried
i did a hard reset (holding the power button for 8 seconds) since that's basically all i can do.
it got to the boot image and went straight to a black screen with the backlight on, same as before.
i attempted to get into recovery (power+volume down) but the green android never appears, it just cycles through the boot logo over and over again.
plugging it in doesn't work, my system doesn't see it at all as far as i know
plugging it in and trying to boot recovery also does not work
is it bricked?
i don't think i'll ever do official updates ever again, this is pitiful
badumtss. This is why I hate kies. Basically when you boot it up, it goes directly to black screen is it?

not quite, it displays the original boot logo (the slightly smaller "galaxy tab 10.1" logo) for a few seconds before going to black screen
Are you using correct technique to get into recovery/ download? If you keep holding the buttons down it will just keep cycling through boot as you describe. Did you release as soon as logo appears? Sounds like your hard reset interrupted the update and you're missing full boot partition or system partition. If your " hold down the buttons" was at fault and you do get into recovery etc maybe odin is the way forward... just a thought. Also your long press on power might be putting the tab in apx mode, have you tried that and then seen if it is visible to nvflash?
Sent from my transformer prime which is currently transformed into a small bowl of petunias
more data;
i let the battery run down to zero after reading some technique to un-brick which required it, until i just read here about how recovery is when you let go of pwr+vol down right as the logo pops up, not waiting for the green android logo.
so, i plugged it in and tried that.
the result is;
it'll power up, show the battery charging image with the little loading circle (i guess it's fetching the battery status) but the battery status never loads. instead it flashes the galaxy tab 10.1 logo for a split second and then back to the black screen of death.
i'll attempt again when the battery has more juice
damn!
after letting the battery charge up some more i tried going into recovery again.
same problem;
hold down power and volume down (the side of the volume rocker closest to the power button)
wait for the logo to appear
as soon as "samsung galaxy tab 10.1" appears, i let go
but it STILL sits there for a second, then flashes the slightly larger boot logo before going to a black screen
damnit damnit! do i have a paperweight? i really want to punch whoever authored that update.
EDIT: a possibly related issue, i cannot turn off the tablet anymore. if i hold down the power button to turn it off, it just cycles back into a boot.
Might wanna try my draining method, I posted it somewhere here, must be in page 3-4, Ill bump it up
I'm having a similar issue, basically everything the same except it doesn't go black after the logo comes up, the back light gets slightly brighter and the logo stays there. It also wont turn off, unless I have it charging then unplug it.. the update was interrupted by me accidentally going into recovery(at least I think it was. It could have just been by pressing the power down because I haven't done a system update before, so I don't know what all happens), then it went into download and was stuck on the odin interface. I did a hard reboot, and then it started buggering up. How does an update interruption brick your tab? What kind of person makes something that can do that.. lol.
OK! Problem solved guys, sorry for "spamming", lol. Just flashed it back to stock.. now to try different ROMs for the first time. Thanks!
My S3 is unrooted and today for some reason, turned itself of then wouldn't reboot passed the boot screen.
It's not stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" welcome screen.
So far I've tried:-
Disconnecting the battery several times, even leaving it for 10mins before reconnecting.
Reset (holding Volume Up+Home+Power). It just reboots and gets stuck at the same point. Occasionally not even getting as far as the Samsung screen, it will stay on the battery charging logo/screen but the charging circle image doesn't spin.
Any ideas what, if anything I can do?

Have you gotten your S3 to work yet? My S3 did excactly the same.. I woke up and saw that it was showing the boot screen. I thought "That was weired" and didn't touch it for like ten minutes. I went back and saw that it still hadn't got passed the boot screen and then tried to reboot it. Then I once again was stuck at the boot screen and tried to reboot it again, remove the battery, plug it in to the charger and enter the recovery mode (without any success).
Have anyone else experienced the same problem? What did you do to make it boot properly?
Same problem...I can't get into recovery mode either =/
I had a similar issue. But never got stuck in boot screen. Phone was not switching on and connecting charger showed grey battery icon, not the green charging icon. Had to take it to service center. As long as it is unrooted and in warranty you are safe. They told me they replaced the charger pin on phone. But really not sure.
Been running the GPE ROM flawlessly since I flashed on the 12th... Until today. Don't know if this is ROM related but maybe you guys can help.
Out of nowhere, my phone kept shutting off. Couldn't use it for more than a minute after booting before it would turn off completely. Battery was charged so I was kind of like 'wtf'. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't even get to the swirling colors boot screen. It would shut off halfway though the Samsung Custom logo. ****.
Tried plugging it in and pulling the battery multiple times. I can't even boot to recovery! The blue text shows in the upper left but then it will go off again. It's plugged in now but not showing the battery charging screen.
I can only get it to turn on for about a second. Am I ****ed? Is this thing bricked? Super random because I changed NOTHING this morning and it was fine yesterday.

It could be a power button failure, it's actually quite common on the S4.

My galaxy s6 edge has been stuck in a boot loop. I have not dropped it or anything. Last night, about 12 hours ago, I took it out of my pocket and it wasn't turning on. Once I got home and plugged it in, I was relieved to see the charging indicator. However, upon returning about five minutes later, I turned it on, only to see nothing happen except the charging indicator flash on the screen again. I then attempted to boot it into safe mode, which brought me to the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge-Powered by Android" screen (which is the first thing I usually see when powering on my phone). Normally after this screen, I see the Samsung logo, and then the AT&T logo. But instead the display turned off, and then showed the same screen again. Then it just went into a loop of this sequence. This only happens when it is plugged in. When it is not, nothing happens-the display doesn't turn on or anything.

Flash stock rom through odin to check if you can revive your device. Firmware can be found on sammobile website and odin can be found using Google, instructions on flashing firmware can be found here on xda.
Hi, 2 weeks ago I plugged a faulty charger into the phone (while off) and after that it did not turn on anymore, no LED, no recovery, no download mode. It did not charge too. I thought it was a battery problem, I replaced it with a new one and now when I push the power key I have a stable white LED (it turns on some seconds later than normally), a black screen and CPU is overheating a lot (it's hot in a minute only) . I tried to boot it in recovery mode and download mode again, with no different result.
I think some components damaged when I plugged the faulty charger, and now the phone is not able to boot anymore.
Do you agree? Any idea? Any suggestions?
Thank you
