Hello,
actually i have made it, a softbrick which i couldn't fix alone
At the moment i use the ZTE Star 2.
So here is the problem:
I would like to flash a custom rom like MIUI, for that reason i was searching for a custom recovery, i chose this one:
recovery.romzh.com/zte/2015/01/136.html
because i couldn't speak Chinese i tried every combination of the given numbers.
But nothing have made it.
So i extract the recovery img file from the application (in the TEMP folder) and try to flash it manually with adb fastboot, after the file is transmitted to the phone there is a response says FAILED unknown command or something like that.
Okay, for that reason i pushed the file to the root of my sdcard and flashed it with the app rashr, which have work "correctly".
And i thought this was the problem...
Now if i want to boot my phone the ZTE logo appears for about halve a second and then the display turns off... But i think the phone is still on, because if i press the power button only a short time, nothing happens. But if i press it about 10 seconds the device will reboot, like if i do that while it is running...
The first time i have made this (press about 10 seconds) the device has booted normally but since i tried it again to get in the recovery it would boot, enter the recovery or something else, i see the logo for about half a second and nothing happens.
I couldn't enter the recovery mode and font know how i should enter the bootloader, because i don't know if the device is powered off or powered on
Thanks in advance for any help!
Greetings TurboToni
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
There is no dedicated forum for your device at this time but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help.

My Device is GT-S7582 Samsung. Stock Firmware. Not rooted.
Problem #1:
It suddenly reboots itself about 15 seconds after the launcher appears.
Problem #2:
After enabling USB-Debugging, the phone reboots, and USB-Debugging is back to being disabled.
Problem #3:
No recovery menu appears when going to recover mode, it's just a read exclamation on upper left corner and the Samsung Logo.
I tried flashing CWM using ODIN, but nothing happens after.
Problem #4:
I can flash the ROM with ODIN, but nothing happens after, the phone is in the same state. I tried about 4 stock ROMs already
Is there any other way I can fix my phone? Thanks.

If your phone isn't rooted flashing through Odin won't do anything unless you're flashing a rooting file to root you're phone. you need to root (through odin)then flash cwm(Odin) then ROM (Odin)or try factory reset and see if it makes your phone usable

It didn't work. It seems that my phone becomes READ-ONLY.
I have a 15 - 20 second window to navigate through my phone before it restarts. Every time I change something, like settings, it reverts back after it restarts.
I tried deleting some folders using a file manager, but when it restarts, the folder is still there.
Even in safe mode, the phone restarts.
Can any one help me? Please? Thanks.
Has any one knows how to fix my problem? I think my phone has become read only. Please help me, please.
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything related to your question/device but if you already flashed 4 times stock firmware and still same errors then my advice is to go to service center with that device.
Please post that in the forum bellow for more answers from the experts.

hello all, I'm really new to rooting and I'd like it if you could help me out here, this is about trying to get a CWM working on the smartphone p500. It's a new phone, I just put in the battery out of the package.
okay, so I've just rooted my p500 (root checker said it was indeed rooted), and I'm at a loss here. no matter what I try, I can't get CWM working. the first step I took was to try it via Rom manager. It got stuck at 100 % download, roughly the same problem as in this post
So I tried to get twrp, and got to this tutorial. I tried to put in the command "adb reboot bootloader". It appears as though this just shut down my phone, which would then display a "charging" symbole, since it's still charching via the USB. After putting in the next command; "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", the command prompt returns "waiting for device", leading me to believe the phone has just shut down.
I tried to search the internet for another way to get in fastboot mode, but all I could find were threads about unbricking the p500 *after* booting in to fastboot mode. which should help, once I get there. This appears not to be an option, either.
After some more searching, I came across this post, detailing how to flash a custom recovery mod. Since I'm already rooted, I got as far as part III, step 5. step 6 is rebooting in recovery mode by pressing and holding volume down + home + power button. I've tried this while the phone is off and while it is on, but all it does is rebooting. Then, in this post, I read you need a custom recovery in order to boot in recovery mode.
Having come full circle, I've exhausted all my options. l've probable misunderstood several directions, or I have overlooked something fairly obvious. Can anyone help me?

So the phone is not mine, it's my sister's phone, it is not rooted or anything, just a few days ago it rebooted itself and has been boot looping since, I really don't know what to do to fox it, the only things I thought of doing was to hold the power button and the volume up and down for a few seconds to take me to the recovery mode but it doesn't let me and yes I tried the two combos independently, searching a little I've found a few things, and they are that the phone might be soft bricked, and it tells me to download the android sdk something about cmw recovery but to be honest I'm not familiar with any of those things, any help would be greatly appreciated, I hope the info I provided is enough to get me some help.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Because there hasn't been any modifications done to this device, I would avoid at all costs any custom work (like CWM recovery), because your warranty (if your sister has one) would still be intact. Taking it back to the provider/seller is still an option here.
If you can still access what is called fastboot (if this device does have one, sounds like it does, although I don't know the key combos for that), you should be able to flash the Blu (official) firmware, depending on how they set up their updates, or at least get stock recovery going again. Once again, as long as you don't flash anything custom, you should be able to maintain the warranty status.
Please go ahead and create an XDA account, so you can post in other forums. Then, post in the [GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread thread (or at least) in the > Blu Vivo Air > Vivo Air Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Your device experts can be found there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
So this morning I was trying to unroot my phone and return it to stock. I found a ROM and was going to use TWRP to flash it on and then replace the recovery with stock... except the ROM I found soft bricked my phone. OK not ideal but found a work around in the Sideload function.
I downloaded ViperROM and it was copying across but got stuck on 7% for ages. The screen was black but vibrating to the power button. After ages I assumed it has crashed so I yanked out the cable and tried to turn my phone off and on again... it doesn't turn off. It just vibrates away when I press the top button. So not only do I have a phone with no OS, I can't get it to turn off and on again.
When I reconnect it to my computer and enter adb devives I can see it's still in Sideboot mode. When I try to "adb reboot bootloader" I get "error: closed".
Any ideas on how I can at least get my phone to load the recovery again?
Please help!

Hey there,
today I tried to install new android. Everything was OK - I opened ADB installed twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img on my phone - until I entered "adb reboot recovery". After that my mobile phone get stucked at boot loop - it loads Huawei logo after several second it fades black and restarts itself - I can't even enter recovery mode. I tried to remove back cover and remove battery, start it again while holding volume up but it happened again so I repeated the process and instead i pushed volume down button but problem persisted.
Is there any way I can fix it or I have to buy a new phone.
Thanks for help

First of all thank you for your help.
I let my mobile "die" then it begun start usually but now I have a different problem (can't enter recovery, fastboot, TWRP etc. when holding buttons) so I am gonna write post on forum.
So after many hours of searching and trying different solutions I found it out. I flashed different (older) TWRP and that's it ... it's working now. *facepalm*
