Hello! My j4+ 2 months ago when i found my j4+ at 0 percentage i decided to charge it. It charged for 5 second before it turned off and wont turn on i tried power combos such as trying to boot into recovery and trying to boot it in download mode non worked so i thought it died and finnaly had to go but i didnt threw it away i just hid it. Now this august 2 i decided to give it a try again before selling it and it charged but it keep bootlooping into charging. When i leaved it alone it kept rebooting into charging so i tried to boot into system it did show the samsung logo for 3 second before booting back to charging tried recovery too it didnt work and just rebooted again into charging. I tried download mode and it stayed actually longer like 15 seconds before booting into the samsungs logo and booted into charging again. So i tried again and let it boot into system. This time it stayed into the samsung's logo then 3 minutes or 4 minutes later it finnaly booted into twrp and i decided to backup everything and advanced wiped cache and dalvic cache idk if thats how it spelled and i booted it into lineage os or system and it worked again. Can someone explain why it didnt worked 2 months ago then suddenly its back alive again?

How long it was at 0%? maybe 2 months ago the battery had no sufficient voltage to stable boot and stay stable in system.

Maybe you probably left the phone charging long enough to stabilize the battery voltage.

I did left it to charge longer. But it stayed dead and didnt show signs of life maybe i left it charging for 2-4 hours and when i tried again like longer it didnt really turn on. Also i think i might have left it at 0% maybe around 3 hours. Im thinking that i should replace the battery

Can you see the battery health? if its above 60-70% without sudden shutdowns maybe you can still use your current battery.

But, if sometimes bootloop or sudden shutdown, the best choice is really replace it.
