Could it be heat-related? Maybe try letting it cool off for a while then turning it on...

@fairct - its heating up when i put it for charging. even trying to start after it cools downs is of no help. it just doesnt start up. nothing at all shows up on screen, not even charging symbol when put for charging.
Hi
I really have no idea ! a repair shop did it for me, changed eMMC chip and after that phone turned on but IMEI was unrecognizable and he had to do some other thing to fix baseband, etc.

I bought it from USA.. And currently, I stay in India. Shipping from India to USA and getting it back itself would cost a lot. Thats why, checking for alternate solutions. I guess India Samsung will not replace with warranty..

You've to ask for repair it under the warranty, or ask for a new one...
If we were talking about some apple product, the warranty can bring you some problem, but Samsung is pretty legal with this cases.

My note is about 6 months old and rooted since I got it. Was using it yesterday at work. A couple house later at home when I pulled it out it was dead.
doesnt boot on power button press
doesnt react to "vol+/menue/power"
doesnt react to "vol-/menue/power"
nothing detected when connecting to the laptop
coneccting to the charger does absolutely nothing
The only sign of life is a red led that weakly blinks every 7-8 seconds.
Are there any options other than taking it in to the service center?
Thanks for any help!

Try starting the phone with some other battery. It might be due to battery problem.
Incase it doesn't change anything, then the only way is to send it to service center.
Its SDS . Sudden Death Syndrome . Mostly all phones on 4.1.1 affected this. On 4.1.2 its fixed. You might be on 4.1.1. Only solution - Its motherboard should be replaced.

Wish I could be certain but I believe 4.1.1 How can I find out now that it is dead???
In any case the service center just advised that they will replace the motherboard under warranty.
Got my note back with the explanation that the motherboard was replaced.
Only problem is that its now back on the Saudi Arabian ROM and will have to go through the whole flashing and rooting and................. but at least its alive even though Oding doesnt reconize it in download mode so will have some research to do.
Mine just got the similar symptom yesterday, but it even doesn't have weekly led blinking.

My Note 2 also was succumubed to the same symptoms as your's and it's mother board also got replaced.I checked it then eMMC brick apk and it shows insane chip.The only thing we have to do now is to take precaution to be in the latest firm ware and recovery which is SDS patched.Luckily the latest stock firm wares and kernels are SDS patched.
yes checked the returned note and still have the insane chip and 4.1.1
but I have another bigger problem. the returned note with the new motherboard is not detected by Odin in download mode. I intended to flash a non Arabic pre-rooted ROM but no luck. for a week now researching to find a solution but have not managed it yet.
Hey Guys,
i hope you can help me.
I have a Galaxy W and I'm using arcos CM10.1 for a while now. 3 Weeks ago I decided to update to arcos latest Beta 4. It was running as good as always for the 3 weeks - but as I went to bed on Friday evening my Wonder had about 50% battery and when I woke up it was turned off. At first I thought the battery collapsed, so I tried loading it but it didn't help. My Mother also has a Galaxy W, so I put in her battery, but it didn't help either.
The Problem is: no matter what I try, when I push the Power-Button the screen stays black and nothing happens. No vibration or anything. So I'm not able to boot in recovery or anything else.
Is there anything I can do? Do you think this is a Hardware-issue?
I'm barely over the warranty, so sending it to Samsung is no real option.
There were a lot of photos on the internal SD-Card - is there a way to save them?
Thank you guys! :crying:

The same thing is happened to me the battery from 70% is dropped to 0% and the next morning I can't power on but when I tried to charge my phone I saw the charger animation so I waited until the battery is upped to 100%.
I think it's an overheathing problem cause now my battery works fine:good:
Thanks for your Reply!
The problem is even if I put it on the Charger - nothing happens...
That means I don't see the charger animation either...
And I tried different cables (USB and DC) ...
Any other idea?

Mine didn't turn on, got a JTAG, it worked fine (is dead now, fell in water, got new one) You should try that, if not fixed. Then the logic board is dead

That sounds great
So I did some research and found out, that such a JTAG (I found "RiffBox") is about 150$
Isn't there any cheaper method?
I mean if I spend 150$ I could nearly buy a new phone...
I found UnBrickableResurrector on xda.
But I'm not sure if it works for our device
Has anyone worked with that before?
Or knows a cheaper JTAG?
EDIT: Found someone to borrow an USB Jig. Will try this at first.
Also I found a local phone repair shop - they'll do a JTAG for about 25$, so if the Jig won't help it's worth a thinking...
I'll write again if I know more :fingers-crossed:

Great find, see if that supports our Wonder, and the cheapest JTAG here is around 12$, But trust me, it is worth it.
jtag usb jig diy guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707
That thread is for USB jig only......
The chances are that a jig WILL NOT WORK......it takes a bootlooping phone and forces download mode.....if your phone is totally unresponsive.... eg not even powering on to get as far as bootloop....the jig will be useless.
I think the only option is JTAG......
but I think that it might delete the files that you are worried about.....
Check with the repairer first.
Also find out if you will still be charged if the JTAG fails.....
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
Hey Guys, sorry for the late response.
It seems the Galaxy W is dead - no USB Jig and no JTAG could revive it
Looks like the hardware is dead. So I had to order a new phone.
I'm now proud owner of a Google Nexus 5, which is really awesome
Hi to all, After two years of good working S4 mini is giving up. The last time when the problem is occured, the phone was „forced“ swiched off because of low battery. It was put on charger to charge normally and it did it as usual. But, when it was swiched on again it stayed in the boot loop on the Samsung logo over and over again. When I tried to come into recovery, it shows as normally when it starts to go into recovery with text that it has, as last, succesfully loaded CRC and then it shows for a short text: „There is no command“ and immediately reboot and come out of recovery. I went to „Download mode“ and I flashed in Odin, with no problem, the newest S4 mini official ROM but it didn't fix the problem. Any expiriance or sugestions are welcome... Thanks in advance !
If someone knows... Is it possible that some hardware component inside the phone which is responsible for recovery to work, that is burned out or something like that... ? And if so, could it be replaceable ? Thanks in advance !
Someone with a similar problem and some solution, maybe ?

Hi Danaidh, Sorry but not at all. I have spoken with some smartphone repairing technician and he told me that it is a hardware problem and that he has to solder some chip and to replace it with a new one. Because it was all happening abroad (Central East Europe), I thought that I will find some software solution here on XDA. Here where I live (West Europe) I didn't try to bring my smartphone to some smartphone repairing centar because they will simply swap a motherboard and they will charge me a full price what means is much better to buy a new smartphone then repairing this one. Even worst, after five months my phone doesn't charge any more and doesn't start at all and all this „smelt“ now on the real hardbrick. I have regulary charged a baterry to keep my S4 mini i9195 in life, but it could be also that it has swiched on it self during transport in my bag and that I didn't notice this and that it has used all battery power by swichining on and off in the infinite loop... But I will check it later if it will be visable on my PC without battery... If you find some other solution send me a message, please... Thanks in advance... Cheers !

I just checked if it will be „seen“ on my PC and it has installed drivers and it's seen as „Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008“ on COM6 port... So it means that battery died...
But fortunatelly it means there is still hope for this „little bug“(S4 mini)...

Same problem here.
Same problem, any resolution?
Gianasy, he didn't say which chip particularly should be replaced, but he mentioned the one who's responsible for recovery ... Or something like that... So, if you have some news on it, it will be nice to share it with us later on... Thanks !

Interesting. I have the very same problem like you (and two friends of mine have the same problem with their s4 mini). I went to a phone repair shop and he told me, that it is "a known problem of the s4 mini" and some part of the motherboard has to be "reparied"/replaced, but he has to send it somewhere and this will take about ten days.
I have ordered a second hand (used - refurbished) mainboard for S4 Mini from China for € 22 - so I'll write here and update you what is going on in about three - four weeks from now... Till then... Cheers !

Where did you buy it? I'm searching for a shop selling mainbords for the i9192 version of the S4 Mini.
I have a phone with the same problem.
Do you think i can use adb's pull to extract something from the phone? So far nothing worked.
In order to use adb I should be able to put the phone in recovery

If you had installed some cyanogenmod, maybe you can use adb while the phone is in recharge mode (=off). I've written a guide, how to extract your data, here.

No cyanogenmod, it's all stock.
I've tried your guide but as soon as I connect the phone (off), it turns on and keep booting (loop).

Interesting, it shouldn't start just by plugging the charge cable in. Someone in another thread mentioned that a defective power button might cause similar symptoms. Have you tried just holding menu and vol-up or -down while it keeps restarting?
When in windows cmd, type
Code:
adb wait-for-device
and plug in the cable then. Does it wait forever or does the command come back?

Same story, unfortunately.
I made a little video. So you can better see what's going on.
After I plug the cable the phone starts and never stop until I remove the battery.

Hi guys, i come here searching for help, it was a normal day, i was out with the phone fully working, it was on my pocket, when i get home i see that it's off, tried to turn on and nothing... tried vol- and power to enter download mode and nothing, the screen is always black.
Connected it to my laptop to see if it shows up as a USB device, it sounds like it connected and in "Device Manager" it show as "QUSB_BULK_CID:0412_SN:BA92F870" but ODIN doesn't detect it, so i can't try to install a clean ROM.
I can't take it to samsung as this model is a HONG KONG one and i'm in Chile, they won't apply warranty and legally i had only 3 month in a external shop but i'm on my 5th month, so it's not use to try that way.
A few points about the phone:
Latest firmware: (INSTALLED NATURALLY, I GOT IT FROM SAMSUNG OFFICIALY)
Country/Carrier: Hong Kong
Date: 2020-10-26
Version: 10
PDA: G9880ZHU2BTJ6
CSC :G9880OZS2BTJ6
NEVER EVER tried to install a rom or something on the phone, i was happy with how it works and the battery i got from it.
Now i bought a S20 FE as a momentary replacement because i can't be without a phone for my work... i've read lots and lots of threads on XDA and other places but all of them are about the Note 4, so it's really out of date to try fix it that way, at least 6-8 years old posts.
Anyone here had a similar issue? is it fixable?
Hope someone can help, it really hurts loosing a phone that costs +USD1000
Thanks guys.

The device is powering on and off randomly on it's own, correct? This sounds like a hardware issue, you may have a defect somewhere in the power supply chain. If you have a reputable repair agency nearby, not necessarily Samsung, this would be my first step. Not sure why Odin isn't detecting the device. Here's an article which offers common solutions for this problem.

tomorrow i'll try to take it somewhere, thanks for the link, but i already tried all those tips
I take it you have a Qualcomm cpu? If so you need to install the Qualcomm usb driver, link https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/ or a newer version if available. This should solve the problem in regard of pc connection, usb recognition and most of all reading the internal memory. Please use Google search for mor info and the correct procedure as i never used this myself. Good luck.

Anything you can find on google i already tried, installing the drivers didn't help either... thanks tho!
Oh hey, its you! We spoke on reddit a few days ago about this problem, sorry to see you haven't been able to fix it.
Have you tried all your USB ports? Or maybe another computer? Worst case scenario there's a solid chance Samsung will repair it either for free if you're lucky or for a price. Even if you bought it from another country there's a possibility the manufacturer's warrant is intact especially because it sounds like you didn't do anything to the phone at all that would've warranted the sudden failure.
Does ADB see it when it's plugged in? If you don't have ADB installed follow this: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux, then once installed run "adb devices" from command prompt.
