So I've been running Touched by S4 ever since I bought my phone a couple of months ago and besides my search button doing the phantom press thing when I'm in a bad signal area it's been running great. This weekend something strange happened and now my phone won't boot up. Weird thing is, I didn't do anything to it. It did it on its own. I sent a text to my better half and a couple of hours later went back to it to make a call and it was turned off. I thought the battery went dead so I plugged it in and turned it on but it wouldn't go past the boot animation screen before it completely shuts off in an instant. Sometimes it won't even go past the SGS2 screen without immediately shutting off. Now that I'm back to stock it sometimes just stays on the orange "B" Boost ani screen until I pull the battery.
OK, what I've done so far is this. I can go into Odin and I can get into Agat's recovery and I can flash whatever I want from Odin but when it comes time to load up it, again, it does one of three things. #1. It boots up to the boot animation and then immediately shuts completely off (not restarting like a bootloop, it shuts down) or #2. It boots to the SGS2 screen and then shuts off the same way or #3. It just hangs on the Boost boot ani screen. I've fully charged it and the battery screen indicates it as such.
So far I've installed the following Stock ROM's to start anew from Rwilco12 via Odin to no avail: NoData Restore GC01 Rooted; Full Restore Rooted GC01; & Full Restore Unrooted GC01. All have concluded the same way, Good install but won't boot past the boot ani screen before completely shutting off. Again, I've had countless bootloops, soft bricks, and such in the past but never this. Anybody see this before? Suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully one of you that are smarter than me know what this is and can roll your eyes at my stupidity and fix me up lol. I'm not in panic mode because I'm not a noob and I have my old Warp I can fall back on but I do need to do something or another today because I have to have a working phone.
I'm kind of stuck too because although I've been able to flash back to bone stock and no longer have a yellow triangle, my Odin counter is saying "Yes" and my count is 4 so I don't think Boost will fix it in this state. I can't boot up to run triangle away and reset the counter either. Sucks because it would be better if at least it was ME that did it so I can fix it!

I plugged it in and it actually booted the phone to the odin screen surprisingly but it didn't reset anything
