Confirm the model of phone you have. If it is indeed a SGH T959V, use the guide in the second link of my signature.
It is confirmed that the phone is in fact the SGH-T959V.. I'm using a Windows 7 PC, and the phone won't stay powered on long enough for the system to load the drivers for it.. Any other suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated...

Could you provide more info on how the phone got stuck, were you trying to flash a new ROM. Lumins guide is excellent( it has gotten me out of multiple self induced boot loops) but after installing one click, windows will not show you, on the pull down, a samsung composite device. you will have to look through the different drives that are shown to determine which drive your phone is on.
If you can get into the recovery mode, have you simply tried reflasing

If when you say shut down you mean bootloop, you need to read the guide as it says to put the phone in download mode. If your battery is dead, I'm sure you can figure out what you need to do to charge your battery on your own.

First make sure the battery is charged as Lumin suggested. If the battery is charged then my bet would be that you have a stuck power button. Try this. Pull the battery and put it back in. If the phone powers on by itself then your power button is stuck.

Put in a brand new battery.. Phone is powering on by itself, but the power button doesn't feel like it's stuck.. Not saying it isn't stuck IJS.. It goes into recovery mode for a split second and resets.. Drivers won't load because the phone won't stay on long enough.. UGH!!
Definitely stuck

Without a doubt. Take the phone apart and clean the power button.

I did, and seems to be working fine.. EXCEPT when I try to charge it or plug it into the pc.. It goes back into the boot loop.. Thinking the charger port may be the culprit here..

Please help. I was using odin3 v1.85 and trying to flash the stock EP4 from the imnuts page. during the flash odin said it failed. My phone now fails to be recognized by my PC. I am not able to boot into CWM nor am I able to boot in to download mode. Any which way I try to get the phone booted up I get the screen that looks like:
cellphone...exclamation point in a triangle... computer
With the battery out of the cell, if I plug the phone into my computer, it is not recognized by the computer and no power flows to the phone
When I put the battery back in and either try to boot to CWM or download mode, I get the:
cell... exclamation point in triangle...computer.
Am I now bricked for good? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you holding the volume down button when plugging it in? Battery out, hold volume down, plug in phone... If still not recognized, try downloading an older version of odin... Then repeat... Ive had my phone at that same screen and came out ok so dont freak... Lol.

Volume down with battery out when connected to PC. Then make sure you put the battery back in before flashing.

Good thought. I booted up Odin3 version 1.3 and no luck. The phone will not go in to download mode but Odin1.3 will recognize the phone as plugged in, which is a step in the right direction compared to Odin3 1.85 which would not. Oh, I am beginning to "freak out" from this stress!!
Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.
...
I use odin v1.82... Try that. If I rememebr right it took me several tries before I got odin to recognize my phone. So your starting with the phone off and battery out... Your holding down volume down key as you plug the phone in? and when you do that it odin recognizes your device but your device just shows that its charging? Try flashing it anyways with the .pit file and stock ep4d... If that doesnt work try flashing CWM first.. Then flash the restore package.. Sounds to me like your phone has been absolutely wiped so you have no recovery image. I think thats finally what got me up and running again.. This is a fixable situation, dont give your hopes up!!!!

Take out the battery and it shouldn't do that.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I used the IMNUTS recommendation on how to "fix my phone" and it worked. Again, thanks for the help!

When you say on, off, on, off. Do you mean the lights flash then it goes off or does it try to boot?
Can you get into download mode?
Have you tried a different battery or left the battery out for an hour or so, then tried again?

i've never get into download mode :S how i do that?
Yes, i tried different battery and it does the same with both.
any solution? could be some files from the software are missing? repair software? u.u
First you need to download Heimdall or Odin from the ISET page to you PC. I believe Odin uses the Kies drivers and Heimdall replaces the with a Samsung composite driver. I personally use the Heimdall back to stock that is rooted.
Once you have them and decide which one you will use, you will need to get into download mode. Take the battery out, connect USB to phone and preferably a rear USB port on your PC. Hold volume up and down, No Power button though, and then insert the battery. This should put you in download mode and you need to push volume up to get to it. Volume down cancels it and will reboot. You may want to just try that one time to see if it corrects the problem. If not, repeat steps to get to download and flash either Odin to Heimdall and then start flashing again.
Read the instructions on the OP of Odin or Heimdall and ask questions if you aren't sure of what to do.

I did what you said multiple times but evertime i do it it just goes straight to the charging screen then reboots and keeps doing the samething?
It seems your power button is faulty. You might need to open it up and clean the contacts or get it repaired.

if your phone boots into a black screen its not hardbricked, hardbricked means it wont turn on at all and you have no indicators

Unplug your phone and hold volume up and power for 30
seconds. Do not have it plugged in while doing this.

You may need to uncheck usb debugging in developer options then reboot and go in and check usb debugging again then try adb tools using adb devices and see if it works then. Some m8's can be a real pain that way you just need to keep trying.

I would run the newest ruu that dottat has posted in the android development section for this phone, put it on your sd card using your computer, then put it back in your phone and boot to fastboot and let it pick it up and hit I believe it is yes and it will restore your phone. You are on 4.4.4 right ? If you are having problems getting to fastboot hold power and volume up until you see the lights change and or it vibrate then quickly switch to power and volume down and it should take you to fastboot, it may take you multiple tries to get it there. This sounds like the screen of death issues people have had on viperone which the fix for that so far has been to reverse the 4g handoff fix as most people that have the sod they had used the 4g handoff fix but if you cant get past the black screen then you cant do the fix for that. Have you tried leaving your phone sit for a while to see if it comes out of it ? Also most people only had that issue in weak signal areas so a good signal area could get your screen working again if you had done the 4g handoff fix. If you did some have said that the change can stick even through a ruu, but I cannot verify that either way.
Can I say I'm having an almost same problem.
I wiped my phone in prep of loading a new rom.
RUU the firmware for 4.4.4
Loaded twrp
and then it rebooted to the htc screen.
Now I can't get past that screen. I can hard reboot but it only comes back to that screen. and if I try to access it through the computer it can't load the driver so that I can sideload.
Help please

it's tricky to get it back to hboot... but you can with practice. Hold power a both volume buttons until you think it finally has rebooted. Switch to only holding vol down to enter hboot. Timing and practice makes perfect.
It took about an hour of trying. But I did it. Plus I had to do a few other things to get things remounted.

Once I was back in recovery I reformatted before rebooting and then from recovery I installed the rom.

I agree with Dottat, faced the same issue when trying to flash ARHD 22.1 on my Verizon M8. I think I sprayed some **** in my pants with that loud fart .
After trying several times I got the trick and could get into Hboot. The issue I think was I was holding Power + Volume up & down for more than required time and it Rebooted. We need to Switch Off the device by Holding Power + Volume UP & Down button for about 8-10 secs and then just remove the finger from Volume UP button. It takes you to Hboot mode..
Hello, please help. I have a big problem.
I just flashed custom ROM and the installation was successful. When I restarted the phone, it stopped at the "Samsung Galaxy" logo and did not complete and then restarted automatically in this case. I tried to enter twrp, but to no avail. I also tried Entering the download mode, but also it does not work
I hope that someone will help me, and is this how the phone was damaged, or is there hope to recover it?
Try holding power and volume down for over 20 seconds, after the phone reboot keep holding those keys and hope you get into download mode

Honestly, no, I haven't tried jaw before But I waited until the battery ran out and tried again to insert the download, but it didn't work either,,, I have a question I first formatted and then installed the ROM, then it succeeded, but after the word “installation was successful” there were words in red “failed mount system root” Then I flashed the rest of the ROM files, then I thought it was over, so I restarted, but it stopped at the "samsung galay - secured by Knox" logo. It does not continue and then restarts itself in this case and does not stop until the battery runs out and stops then I tried to enter the recovery but to no avail and also the same thing with the download mode,, summarizing all this does the phone need a motherboard, or that the matter can be solved?

Try Chimera tool. It can fix dead boot. You may need to short test point of your phone so that the software recognises your phone.
