Hello everyone,
I have recently acquired a used Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). The device came up broken and by that I mean ROM-wise. It would turn on, show the samsung logo and then turn off immediately. I boot it up to download mode in order to install a recovery mod, after installing like 2 wrong recovery mods the device wouldn't turn back on. I tried every combination possible. I started thinking that the power button had broken out of the blue. The next day after charging the device it seems like that it turned back on. I tried booting up to download mode to install the CORRECT this time recovery mod (TWRP) but it wouldn't turn on in download mode. What happened was only showing the samsung logo then turning off immediately and then I was once again unable to boot the device. Before you ask, I tried every combination possible and taking out the battery.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and has by any chance found a way to solve this?

There is no forum for your device here on XDA but there is a user thread. May I suggest you read in there and ask your question in that thread as others with that phone may be able to help with the more specific issue!

Sounds like a bootloop.
Usually you can try to pull out the battery for some time (about two minutes), then put it back into the phone and reboot.
Or try to boot into recovery, wipe data (= doing a factory reset), and reboot. (If you already have a backup of all your important data.)
If nothing helps, here is a guide how to unbrick your device: [GUIDE] Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & I9505 by waheedse.
And best place to get help for your device is the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly. thread.
You just have to register on xda before.
Good luck!
Thread closed. Thank you!
I installed a stock rom for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) and it was stuck at the flashing SAMSUNG logo (the one with the tune) and so I juct left it there and went to sleep. The next day I tried turning on the tabalet but it didn't work so I booted into Download Mode and did a NAND erase. I was planning to install a stock rom from SAMMOBILE but now I can't boot into Download Mode. When I try to, it goes into the warning screen and after a second or so, it becomes black. I figured it could have been out of battery or a button is broken. I have tried charging the tablet with wall charger (2.1A) but it doesn't seem to work. I could occasionaly get it succesfully into Download Mode but it will turn off itself for no reason.
THERE IS NO OS INSTALLED SO DON'T TELL ME TO GO THE TERMINAL OR ANYTHING. IT IS ABSOULUTLY EMPTY ONLY HARDWARE AND DOWNLOAD MODE.
Anyways, please help. I am trying to get daniel_hk's cyanogen mod on this for my friend and I don't think he would expect me giving a bricked tablet to him.

Firstly, sorry for bad english.
Yesterday, without any cause, when i tried to boot my galaxy s4, le screen was stuck at the galaxy's logo. At this time, i couldnt acces to the recovery mode but only download mode. Today, my phone doesnt boot at all, nothing happend when i put it in charge and I have no access to the download mode. My question is if I will have access to this mode with a Jig usb to finally flash it.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
A jig should still help. Luckily they are inexpensive to buy or make so you are not out much if it does not work.
