Hello,
this is my first post on here and I am sorry for it being a "Help me" one.
So yesterday I found my S4 Active again and I remembered it having problems booting up and being stuck in a boot loop. So I powered it on and it worked fine (exept for the lower halve of the touch screen not working, but I think that's another Problem). So I took out the battery. A couple of hours later I tried turning it on again, but this time I had the same Boot loop. When I insert the battery nothing happens (so no stuck Power Button). If I then press the power button it turns on. After the Samsung Logo it goes black for a while but the Backlight is on. After this it shuts down then turns on again but only for a short Moment (no Samsung Logo visible but it vibrates). Then it turns off again and turns on again and flashes the Samsung logo and so on. If I try to Boot into Recovery mode, sometimes it enters Recovery for a second and then turns off and on again but most of the time it just turns of after the Samsung logo and shows the same behaviour as described above.
I am able to enter Download Mode though. If I go into it and press down (to Abort Download Mode) it goes into Boot loop. If I press volume up I am able to flash through Odin ( I did this to flash the stock Rom 5.0.1 again, but it did not help at all). I also noticed that if I attach the phone via usb to the computer but no battery is inserted, the Backlight flashes every 2 seconds or so.
So does this look like a Hardware defect or is there any hope for me.
Thanks
