Merry Christmas.
My phone was at around 96%. Phone screen was OFF on my desk. Suddenly, phone screen comes ON. I press the power key to turn the phone screen off. It didn't work. I unlocked the phone and kept attempting to turn off the screen. The power key was unresponsive. I attempted to shut down the phone by long-pressing the button. Still no response. Took off the case, took out the battery. Put it back in. The phone vibrated and showed "Samsung" boot logo for about 5 seconds before shutting off while still loading. When plugged into the wall to charge, it shows the charging battery icon with a "refresh" icon inside the battery icon. It also shows for about 5 seconds before disappearing. I can't get it to show up as a USB connected device on my desktop.
What the hell happened? I have so much stuff on this Galaxy S4. I purchased it from Verizon in September 2013. I did NOTHING to it! It was literally sitting on my desk!
Oh and btw it was never rooted or anything. It ran the TouchWiz home and basically everything is unmodified. I just need my pictures back from the internal storage! I only have half my pictures on my micro SD.
