Galaxy S4 - Lost power during a flash ... phone is a mess now - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was trying to flash back to stock via Odin. All was going fine, until my phone shut OFF in the middle of the flash.
I forgot to check battery level, so my bad... The issue now is I can not do anything. When I power on the phone
it gives me that short vibration for a second then nothing.
The screen NEVER comes on, no light in the LED circle, nothing !!! So I can not go into TWRP or stock recovery.
Is there any thing I could try that I am not aware of ???
Thank you for any idea's

Have you put the phone on a charger for a few hours?

[Q] Charging Bootloop

When I plug my phone into my a charger and it is charging my phone gets stuck into a bootloop where I can't turn it off nor turn it on. It wont even go to the Samsung logo, it just is black and keeps turning on/off. Only way I have to get around this is by unplugging, pulling battery, reboot recovery, plug back in, then I can reboot to system. Any ideas on a solution to this?

Don't try to power it on while plugged in. Ain't much else to suggest there. I find doing the button combo for download mode then pressing vol-dn at the warning screen works too. This is the normal it's not a bootloop. The way these charge w/ the power off is strange.

What recovery and rom are you using? This is not a normal behavior. It doesn't happen on my phone using Stock rom/TWRP recovery.

That's weird as I'm on my 5th s3 since 6-21 and this has been normal behavior on every one regardless of rom. The S2 did the same stupid shiit. Its almost impossible to turn these on while plugged in and shut off.

I usually use freeg3 from Clark, but I flash about every ROM when they are updated to try it out; I use TWRP to flash them all. My phone is infected with anthrax, but It was before and after it. I even tried flashing the stock .tar from odin :/
When the screen is black, simply hold the power button in until you see the Samsung logo.

I just confirmed again that my phone doesn't do that. With the phone on, I plugged into the charger. Power off, wait until the green battery icon appears. Hold power button, phone boots normally.
I'd guess somewhere along the way you acquired a wonky bootloader. You could probably try just replacing the bootloader, I know there is a way to do that but I'm not sure how. Probably someone else could quote the procedure off the top of their head. If not, I would guess a full odin to stock would fix it also.
My phone does this too. Sometimes it shows a charging battery, sometimes it vibrates, and sometimes I even see the Samsung logo, but it always refuses to turn on while it is plugged up.
My phone doesn't do this. It looks to be a hit or miss on if your phone will do it.

Or it could have to do with a particular flash that has corrupted the boot loader. People need to be clear what roms they are on, and if they have ever tried to go back to FULL stock through Odin to fix this. Until they have reflashed the Stock Bootloader, there is no way to know what's going on.

went to bed last night and woke up and my phone when plugged in the charger just vibrates every 3 seconds and does nothing. i can get it to download mode but not into recovery even after a reflash via ODIN i tried the LK3 and LG1 original firmware's
any help or insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated

i would flash again in odin but make sure auto reboot is NOT checked. you may have tried that already. have the back of the phone off. after a successful flash, pull the battery immediately. after you insert the battery back in, vol up/home/power combo for recovery. release that power button as soon as you get a vibrate. just trying to start from the beginning again with you, bro
let me know
trying that now. did take it to at&t real quick got it to boot as soon as i got to the start screen to setup google and what not immediate shut off.

[Q] "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."

Hi guys, I'm very sorry if this has been solved already but I've been searching a lot now and none of the methods seemed to help me. I'm running a One X International. Until yesterday, I was running one of the older Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly builds but due to some performance issues and whatnot (nothing major), I decided to finally put in some work to update my phone to 10.1. My HBOOT was still on one of the older versions so after searching around, it seemed reinstalling the stock ICS and then doing some OTA updates would be the easiest way (for a n00b like me).
After doing so, I unlocked my bootloader again, re-rooted my phone, installed a newer version of CWM Recovery and finally flashed the latest stable build of CM 10.1. My first problem came after rebooting, where it would just hang at the Cyanogenmod ring loop and nothing else. I booted back to recovery and wiped everything (cache, data, dalvik etc.) and did a factory reset then reflashed the rom. This time it booted up but then, the "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." kept popping up. I literally can't do anything (there's a microsecond of space after I click OK before it would pop up again). I have read some people suggesting to others that they need to do a factory reset but I've tried doing that and it still didn't work. I've even tried installing the latest Nightly build of CM10.1 but it still didn't seem to make any difference.
Could someone please offer some advice? Thanks a lot in advance.
I had this problem and it was an hardware fault, so the only thing i could to was to send back the phone to HTC and get a new one...

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean Boot image as in the bootloader? I didn't touch the bootloader except that it got upgraded whilst I updated the official HTC rom and also when I unlocked it. But I did erase everything before flashing.

Thanks a lot! I can't right now because like an idiot, I was in a rush before coz I had to leave for a few hours and really needed my phone so I thought maybe I'd try redoing the process. I got to the stage where I relocked the bootloader, factory reset, erased the rom, cache and pretty much everything but then I had to leave. Now that I'm back, the phone is out of battery coz I had it plugged in but it just wouldn't shut down for some reason so the screen remained on the bootloader wasting a ton of battery. This had happened yesterday when I was doing this and the battery would charge really slowly since the screen was constantly on. Do you know why this is? I don't think it's a hardware issue since after installing the stock rom yesterday, it could turn the phone off through the bootloader, recovery or just in the actual OS.

the phone never charges in the bootloader ....as ur phone is off right now just plug it to a wall charger and leave it for around 2-3 hours and check if the Red LED turns on which will show that your phone is charging

Aha didn't know that! Well I did leave it on the charger before i left although it was on the bootloader so like you said, it didn't charge. But when i came back (several hours later), the screen was black and the red LED was not on. Again like an idiot, I tried to turn it on and it went into the bootloader although it said that the battery is critically low. I then tried restarting it and now it's staying on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Does it charge here? The red LED is on. If i press power+vol down then it would go into the bootloader so i guess it's not bricked right?

nop its not bricked and if your phone is now on just press the power button for few seconds until the 3 buttons flash and it wll turn off and when your phone will have enough battery charged it will automatically turn on (my htc one x do this) and dn you continue the steps dat i told you

Hmm i still can't turn it off. After holding the power button and waiting for the 3 buttons to flash, it would just reboot into the HTC screen. But it seems to be charging because when I booted into the bootloader just then, it doesn't say "power critically low" anymore.
By the way, whilst we're on the subject, do you know if it's possible to disable the ability to restart the phone by holding down the power button even when the phone is locked? I have quite a bulky case (from Ballistic) which makes the power button stick out a bit and sometimes when it's in my jeans and I kneel down to tie my shoelace, my leg would press into the button making the phone restart. This doesn't happen with the iPhone for example. on the iPhone, when the screen is locked, the power button doesn't give any response and even when the screen is unlocked, holding down the power button will only display the option to shut it off. This has always annoyed me on the One X (don't know if this is the case for other Android phones).

Yeah I guess that's the only solution then. Glad I'm not the only one!
I just got home and it looks like I was wrong. The phone's screen was off and no red LED lights were showing even though it's plugged into the wall. I disconnected it and waited a few seconds and then reconnected it and after a couple of minutes, the red LED came back but it also started up into the bootloader automatically...this thing just won't stay off!! I will see what happens after an hour or so but at the moment, I can't think of what else I can do to shut it off to charge it.
By the way, as I said earlier, I have now resetted everything, cleared everything and relocked my bootloader. Can I flash the unlock_code.bin I got previously from HTC or has my Token ID changed now and I need to obtain a new one? I did a Google search and it sounds like it will have now changed but I just wanna make sure.
EDIT: ok I need to go to bed now but I just realised that the reason why it won't switch off is BECAUSE it is plugged in. After unplugging it and selecting Power Down from the bootloader menu, it's now switched off. But as soon as i plug it in again, the screen lights up again. I guess i have to leave it like this and hope that it charges overnight but I'm a bit worried that it's not so good for the screen not to mention it seems to get a little warm after awhile. We'll see...

Hi
I have a solution for you
make a batch file :
" @echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
"
put this file in the directory where you have fastboot.exe adb.exe and all other
files , also put the unlock.bin file that you have from htcdev
put your phone to bootfsatusb , and run the batch file , you will see the voltage
off the battry each time it loop , after an hour or two you will have enough power(~3.68mv) to unlock it , then charge it and do what ever you want

I did that and left it for a couple of hours and then the battery was at a high enough level for me to get to work again. I went through everything again remembering to flash the boot.img before flashing my new ROM and now everything is working perfectly! By the way, that guide written by hasoon2000 made a mistake I think. He said to flash the boot.img AFTER flashing the new rom which I did but then still got that com.android.phone problem. But then I flashed it again BEFORE flashing CM10.1 and now everything is smooth as butter.
Anyways, thanks all for your help. I really appreciate it!

Ok, first let the phone plugged into the wall outlet, not through usb. Let it charge at least 48 hours. After that, flash again the ROM. You should have enough battery for the flashing to go through without any problems.
P.S. While the phone is charging do not press any buttons. Do not try to power it on, just let it be.

very helpful links. thank you!
I was able to flash my device. Flashing finished succeed but phone still won't to turn on :/
edit:
device had too low energy to turn on. now everything is ok. this is quote which helped me:
~ If you get bootloops, try to flash between loops. As soon as you notice loop, hold volume down and plug the phone into PC with FlashTool ready. Once the loop starts you have very little time to flash, before the loops drain the battery. If you can not flash, the battery will have to die and phone reset. Then start over with red led.

phone does not stay on or boot completely!

i was using the carbon rom with no problems, it was working great, but just a half hour ago i was listening to music and texting (i always do this), and then phone just turned off. I tried to reboot it but it wont! it always shuts off while booting. i made it to CWM, but it turns off while in CWM. i also made it to download mode, which led me to assume that the phone is not bricked, but it doesnt stay on download mode, it just turns off randomly. i figured maybe it was battery, so i tried another, and no change! does anyone know what the issue is? i cant figure out how to keep the phone ON, or why its not staying on.
btw, i got it to boot completely just once, and it was acting up still. any ideas? i dont mind losing all my info on phone, theres not much on there, so ill use odin, but how can i do this when the phone doesnt even keep itself ON download mode? please help
Thanks in advance

I tried to reboot it but it wont! it always shuts off while booting. i made it to CWM, but it turns off while in CWM. i also made it to download mode, which led me to assume that the phone is not bricked, but it doesnt stay on download mode, it just turns off randomly. i figured maybe it was battery, so i tried another, and no change! does anyone know what the issue is? i cant figure out how to keep the phone ON, or why its not staying on.
btw, i got it to boot completely just once, and it was acting up still. any ideas? i dont mind losing all my info on phone, theres not much on there, so ill use odin, but how can i do this when the phone doesnt even keep itself ON download mode? please help
Thanks in advance

bumpppp
come on...no one?
Try this way
Remove the Battery, SIM Card, and any External SDCards.
With the Battery removed plug the USB into your phone.
While holding both the Up+Down Volume button and the USB is plugged into your phone - put the battery back into the back of the phone. You should see the Download mode screen pop up.
If you see the Powered Off Charging screen - attempt the above steps again.
Hit thanks if I helped

i can get the phone into download mode without a problem, i could even get it into CWM; the real issue is the phone just wont stay on. it just shuts off randomly. so basically when i put it in download mode and let it sit, itll shut off again. im afraid to connect to odin to flash back to stock because what if it shuts off while odin is running (which it probably will)? itll brick for sure imo.
i figured it was a faulty battery, but a different battery resulted in the same thing.
i know its not bricked, its booted right now finally, but i know if i restart it, itll act up again....
