Need help, going to try and give as much detail as possible so sorry for the long post. I dropped my phone a few weeks ago and the LCD broke so got a refurb warrenty replacement phone. Att S4 - got it 12/24 and rooted using towelroot on NJ4. Everything was fine until sunday or monday when I realized my Beautiful Widget weather was still stuck in NJ where i had been a few days ago and the last time I'd turned locations on, thinking location was still just GPS like it used to be. read up on all the location info of power saver vs full accuracy, and decided I would just set my widget to my home zip code. Within 24 hours i started experiencing random reboots of the phone, with the occasional boot loop. tried turning the location settings back off and that helped for about a day before starting having reboot / power off issues again.
So last night I decided I would give up and try and do a factory reset. First i wiped the cache from stock recovery. Then the phone wouldn't boot past the att screen at best. So I went back into stock recovery and did a full reset. at this point the phone will no longer get past the Custom Samsung boot animation. I tried using the one-click unbrick tool, but my phone wasn't coming up as a USB option and I haven't been able to find any additional trouble shooting to get that to work.
So next I decided to Odin the stock unrooted firmware, which i believe was NB1. Now i can't get the phone into recovery at all. It is hit or miss if the phone will even get to the custom boot animation, but immediately shuts down from there. I can still get into download mode at times. Wondering if there may be a hardware issue either my battery (which was from my original phone) or the power button on the refurb because there were points last night when i would have to hit/hold the power button 5 or 6 times before the phone would do anything, regardless of what other buttons i was or wasn't holding down. that seemed to improve once the phone cooled down for a while.
I really have no idea what else to do. Based on everything i've read the phone should be working at this point or should be totally bricked. any guidance is greatly appreciated. I would try and just warranty it again and claim they sent a bad phone but of course it boots just enough to show the custom animation, even after i odin'd on stock. HELP!!!
