Pretty sure I already know the answer to this question, but just on the off chance anyone has any ideas
The power button failed and got stuck pressed in, causing the constant rebooting, removed the power button, and the phone worked again using the quick battery replace trick to power it up
Decided to flash a new ROM to it because something had messed up with the one that it was running and WiFi stopped worked, apps wouldn't install
Firmware upgrade with ODIN failed and left the phone with the error of Firmware encountered an issue, recover using KIES etc etc
The phone boots directly to that error when USB is connected
We don't have a power button, I bought two, and attempted to solder one on today, after two hours I admitted defeat, it's just too tiny, and my soldering iron too big
One of the contacts on the board seems to have come off with the button too, so doesn't look like we can fix that, so basically this is an S4 without a power button, stuck on the firmware error screen
I've tried holding Volume Down & Home while connecting USB, but it still just boots to the error screen
No Download mode, No Power button, Stuck on the firmware error screen, and KIES says GT-I9500 can not be initialized when I try to run the firmware recovery program
Is she dead, or can anyone think of a method I've missed to at least get this thing back up and running a ROM again?
Thanks
