Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place, I just want some help as I'm almost out of ideas.
So, the thing is that I have a rooted Galaxy Trend Plus GT-S7580 that was working perfectly up until 2 days ago, when it crashed while watching an ad in a game, and I had to take out the battery as the whole phone was frozen for a long time. After restarting the phone, I noticed a weird behaviour that no apps started up, no matter which one I tapped, and I could barely get into settings and so on either.
I tried restarting afterwards, but the phone couldn't even turn off, and just stayed on a grey screen, while both hardware buttons were light up. This state remained indefinitely, while the phone randomly vibrated at times for a second. I restarted and pulled the battery multiple times, but the apps were still not working and the same issue remained.
What I did afterwards was to try to factory reset and reset cache the phone from recovery mode, which was cwm recovery. Then as the phone was about to reboot, it got stuck on the Samsung Logo with the phone name, and couldn't move on from it. I tried reflashing ROMs and recovery modes since then, but it always stays on the boot screen. I can't even enter recovery mode anymore either, as it just keeps being stuck on the boot logo. I can enter download mode though, and Odin knows my phone is there, but for examples Samsung Kies can't connect to it.
I thought maybe flashing a ROM in Odin along with the additional files such as BL, AP, CP and CSC and PIT could help, but I'm not sure if I should do that yet, especially because I couldn't find all of those correct files for my region so far. So I'm asking for help here. Thank you if you have any useful insight to my issue!

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.
Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Copying Common Apks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.
It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.
The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.
May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get into recovery mode even after odin flashing stock ROM.
It rebooted itself a few seconds after displaying some lines of text. I can't see the normal recovery menu.
Hi there everyone, recently signed up on here as xda seems to be the holy grail when it comes to all thing smartphone.
I'm fairly new to these type of phones and recently was given an infuse 4g that was suffering a power button problem.
The power button problem has been resolved with a new one and the phone was working fine for 3 / 4 weeks.
One day the phone shut down by itself and entered the boot loop syndrome. Factory clearing it hasnt seemed to do anything to resolve the problem as it continued to reboot continuosly.
I came across the thread about gtg ultimate unbrick guide in the developers forum and this seemed like a good way to go, get the phone all the way back to stock and then work from there.
Kies installed and all drivers installed fine. downloaded the gtg unbrick pack and followed the instructions line for line. Odin reports everything passed, took about 2:59 to complete.
phone rebooted and continued to do boot loop so went into recovery as stated and wiped data and cache and rebooted again.
phone is still stuck in some sort of boot loop, but it gets to display the 1st of the setup android phone screens, then just as you get a chance to select next to go onto the next screen, the phone reboots.
Any one have any idea what could be going wrong or as im fairly new to this, is there anything im doing or not doing right that is causing this.
The phone is an at&t infuse.
regards
Trevor
sound like an issue with stuck power button. it's a know issue with this model. google "infuse 4g boot loop" there's few youtube videos you can try.

I've already replaced the power button with a new one, but the technician i use did say he will remove the power button completely to see if it does the same, just to rule that out

just redone the gtg flash and it boots into the os (ver2.2.1) and then within about 5 seconds turns off and reboots
can the new on off switch be faulty......im not so sure as in recovery mode, i can leave it on that screen forever and it doesnt attempt to reboot
Tried the one click repair with hemdial or what its called, updating thisnpost via a moto defy mini so excuse any typos.. The hemdiaOl just seemed to meas it up further. So got baxk into downliad mode with odin and reflashed to gtg brick recovery. Not fixed, still booting but at least the screen is now viewable.
To recover one of these phones, is there like a definitive guide as to what to do to first prepare one of these phones for recovery, ie, first, flash to this with cwm and then clear data, cache, dalcik etc. like an idiots fuide, i feel i may need one
Regards

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! Depending on which rom you flashed, it may be that you need to update your bootloader. For more help, you can post here: Questions and Answers. You will need to register to post.
Good luck!
I got an off-brand Android phone which has no bootloader. Whenever I boot it into FASTBOOT mode, all that shows up is the screen before it even boots into FASTBOOT mode. The phone proceeds to freeze. Last month, I rooted the phone and played around with the build.prop file. I managed to make the build.prop into a Samsung Galaxy S2. Thinking I could do better, I tried making it into a Galaxy S3. I rebooted the phone, and it froze at the boot animation. As it is now, the same is the case. Please help me bring back the phone. I have heard to use Odin, but I need a BOOTLOADER for that, which the phone lacks. It has 3 capacitive buttons.

Hello XDA!
My phone is an Alcatel One Touch pop D5 5038A. I rooted this phone 3 weeks ago and the only thing I did was partition my SD card. No customs roms etc etc. Everything was going well until one time my phone died and I had to charge it. I tried turning it on but it was stuck on bootloop. I entered recovery mode and selected "reboot." That seemed to fix the problem but then after a few days, it happened again and this time I can't enter recovery mode. I kept on holding the power button+volume up button but the Alcatel logo just kept on flashing. What I did instead was reinsert the battery a few times with a few attempts to turn the phone on. This fixed the problem but just yesterday, my phone died by itself. I've reinserted my battery a lot of times already but it still wouldn't work. I'm new to rooting and I ain't so sure if my phone is bricked. Thanks!
Ps. No system updates were installed on this device.
