Phone glitching, Custom OS warning

Phone glitching, Custom OS warning

My phone randomly turned off. I held the power button, the home button, both of them at the same time, I tried the volume up button with the power button, I basically tried every combination of buttons I could, and it was completely blank. I plugged it in and got a battery charging sign, which alternated with the Samsung logo. I tried volume up + home + power button, and it started alternating between the Samsung logo screen and an "installing systems update" screen. I held volume down + home + power, and got a warning screen about a "custom OS" and it said to press the volume down to cancel it or the volume up to continue with it, but whenever I press one of the two it either immediately goes away or does nothing. It is currently stuck flashing between the Samsung screen and the "installing systems update" screen, both of them flash for about one second and then go away for about two (like the logo will flash for a second, then go black for two, then show the systems update screen, then go black, and it continues). It's been like this for about 2 hours. How do I fix it??

Hi, there. Not sure if this will help you, but I found Galaxy S4 trapped in a “Warning a custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications…” It gave me the option to push volume down to cancel and restart, but the volume down button did nothing. Removed battery, nothing. What worked? First, believe it or not, I prayed to ask God to help me with this issue. Then, after removing the battery, I restarted the phone with just the Power Button and Home Button pressed at the same time. It worked! So, my recommendation is to pray and try the Power Button and Home Button pressed together to start the phone up. Good luck!
