I haven't recently flashed any new zips so I don't know why it's in a bootloop. I've read in several other threads to remove the battery for a few minutes and then boot it into recovery, but I've had the battery out for 5 hours and it just resumes the bootloop as soon as the diodes touch the battery. I've tried just holding home, volume up, and power the entire time, but it doesn't work. Is there an solution to my issue? Thanks in advance.
Edit #1: The bootloop goes no further than the manufacturer's logo.
Edit #2: For some reason, I was easily able to open download mode and simply reboot my phone from that screen. It booted up normally with no issues. I promptly rebooted straight into recovery and wiped my data, cache, and dalvik. I may just be a noob and not know what I'm doing but I needed to be thorough. It works fine now.

Ok so I got stuck in a boot loop(hung up on the Samsung screen) and used the MD5 file I found here with Odin and thought it would take me back to stock as the thread suggested. Everything went fine, Odin gave me the big green pass and auto rebooted, but it's still stuck on the Samsung screen and won't boot all the way.
Now I've used Odin a few times before but Samsung devices usually are not my thing. Having flashed,rooted and modded every device I have ever owned I have never NOT been able to fix one. However, I'm at a loss as to why it's not returning to stock. I must be missing something and what I don't know.
Any help in getting me back to a functioning device would be appreciated since I just got it for Xmas.
Boot into recovery, turn off device, hold volume up and power until samsung logo appears.
wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
Should boot now....
You know, it would help emmensely if you told us what you flashed or linked the thread you used. Also your device model.
it is normal if you go from JB to stock ICS you need to do a complete wipe by going into stock recovery and then restart the note will boot

Thanks for confirming the button combo, I was sure that was it but couldn't get into it to save my life. Too long holding down I suppose because letting go quicker got me right there and I was able to get it out of the bl.
Thanks for the help
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
Trev
Hey guys i have a somewhat serious issue here. About 3 months ago I performed a backup of my entire system on my SD Card but somehow it got erased. This is where things start to go bad. I tried to make another one but it rebooted and the boot screen became disorted. So I tried performing a factory reset. I was given the same screen. I tried to reboot to recovery manually and was given the same screen. So now iam unable to reset, backup, or change my rom. I hasn't bothered me until now. I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SGH T599N. It is currently running cyanogenmod 5.1 but from a different developer. I think it's called Meticilous Devlopment or something closer to that. This actually started happening when I downloaded NikeRun and when i turned on the GPS thats when i got the disorted boot screen for the first time. Keep in mind that Iam still able to load it up, use it, make calls, search the web, etc. I just can't load it into my custom recovery which is TWRP. Please help! Thanks so much.

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!
Additional information: I successfully rooted the phone according to this guide a year ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621087

Good luck.
help needed !!
I have a KFHD7(tate) and had been running CM12.1 for a while with only an occasional update using the nightly builds, I only updated occasionally as the unit would not always turn on at the first attempt and would stick at the CM boot logo, after switching it off and back on the unit would run quite smoothly, however none of the updates seemed to cure the problem.
I noticed that there was a new release 'cm-13.0-20160218-UNOFFICIAL-tate' which I flashed via TWRP along with 'open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160301', these were flashed at the same time.
after a reboot the KFHD7 worked fine with no apparent problems, I then downloaded one of the dark themes,(not sure exact one) and this seemed ok at first, I entered the settings screen and only a few words and graphics were visible!
I rebooted back into TWRP recovery and performed a factory reset from within TWRP ... big mistake, now the unit only boots to the blue TWRP boot screen and blinks off after a few seconds it is stuck in a loop and I dont know how to recover it, I have tried the usual combinations of holding the power and vol buttons but still comes on the same .. any suggestions would be appreciated (dumbed down solutions please as not that techy, but can muddle through if step by step instructions)
