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 again. 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. Recovery mode still wouldn't work at all. Thanks!
Ps. No system updates were installed on this device.

I recently installed a gingerbread rom Lidroid. it was working ok till i realized i could not stand some bugs. I decided to try cyanogen that was released today. It looked like it installed fine but the phone is stuck trying to install clockwork recovey. it keeps going on and looping at the same screen. the last message it shows before it reboots off is "Replacing stock recovery with Clockworkmod" it just keeps looping doing the same thing. I have tried to get into download mode without success. I have been able to put my phone in download mode the past couple times i have run into trouble. Now i simply cant be able to do it. Any help?
I dont know how it happened but after trying for the past 5 hours, i have been able to get it to work. I took the battery out inserted it back in. I held the volume down button and the power button together. i immediately plugged the phone into USB cable while still holding Vol down and power button. After 10-15 seconds, it brought up the clockworkrecovery. I Wiped everything and the cache. I then tried to reinstall cyanogen(the one that brought all this in the first place) because it was the only one on my sd card. It installed and booted up and now i have CM 7. I can also successfully get into Download Mode
Am not sure what i did, but if anyone can run into such a problem you might try this.
My phone is not restarting. I am using a Samsung Vibrant T959.
I really love the phone since it a gift from my sister and I hope i can fix it. It had no issues, with a stock 2.1 firmware, but last month I installed ICS on my phone after which I started receiving me errors.I guess the ICS version i installed was not very stable. Usually restarting the phone would fix the problems and I would be good to go. However last evening when I got the error I restarted the phone 2 times but I would still receive the errors. The 3rd time I restarted it, the phone got stuck on the animation screen and did not boot.
I tried the recovery mode and it worked fine.
I took a backup of my data using the USB debugging mode of the phone.
Since I was irritated with this version of ICS i tried to root my phone using Odin.
Odin failed. The phone was stuck on the downloading screen for some time so i disconnected the phone from my computer and now the phone will not start.
It does not boot, it does not go the recovery mode nor the download mode. when I press the power button or the three buttons (volumn and power) together the screen shows a mobile phone a computer and a disconnect between the three (Phone ! PC sign).
I do not know how to fix it. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Closing this thread so that your duplicate can progress.
Greetings,
My device is probably about three years old, I was totally satisfied until I noticed sudden change in my phone's performance about three months ago, way too laggy even after doing factory resets and etc.. , battery was being sucked faster than it supposed (even with a new battery), heating up whenever it decides to, not being able to handle hardcore-use which it could handle in the past... etc.
So, I took all that as a sign that my phone needs to be replaced. Last night while I was on my pc and the phone was sitting in front of me, I caught the phone restarting by it's own. I noticed this happening frequently over the past few months, and usually nothing wrong happens, although I had to remove the SD card once.
But this time its a whole different issue, the phone was stuck on "Samsung galaxy s III .. blah blah" , pressing the power button wouldn't turn off the phone and it would turn itself on the moment I put back the battery. I surfed the web for info and found topics that called this "stuck power button issue" and they suggested to smack the power button with battery or smack the phone itself (without holding any grudge against the phone ). I did that and it fixed the issue of the phone turning itself on.
At this point I found out the next issue, the OS won't boot & i would still be stuck at "Samsung galaxy s III ..." screen. So I tried to boot into CWM (Power+Home+Vol Up) but it would loop me back to the same screen 'till death >_>
Then I checked if I could enter download mode and it was a success, afterwards I downloaded a stock .md5 for my phone (and specified country), Loaded it to odin and tried to flash using that, and it failed on me ... check the pic below if you wanna see the error massages

FAIL !! I tried it twice, I can't think of what to do anymore ... Being able to access BBM (I got a habit of making notes there) & Contacts (I am not sure if superbackup was being a good boy and made backups everyday) would be nice .. But I don't think it's gonna happen ... All I really care about is being able to recover everything from my Internal storage, I don't care if the phone becomes unusable or whatever.. I just need the internal storage.
+ My phone is rooted, I have some nandroid backups and the Rom I was using was Android Revolution HD
Update 12/10
I messed around with the phone, and found out that I can still get in cwm, but I keep getting stuck with "can't mount cache/recovery/..." "can't open cache/recovery/..."error
Since the phone is three years old the battery could be the culprit. Try with your friends battery to see if the phone is booting properly. Still if your phone stucks in boot loop then repalce your power button.
I faced similar issue. My phone went into bootloop even when in recovery. It would reboot while OS installation is in progress. Weird. Rebooting while in recovery could damage the recovery itself and next time it wont even boot into recovery.

thank god someone replied, I thought nobody would respond so I gave up on xda .. anyways I just updated my post.
I am positive that the issue is not the battery, since it's new and i did try the older one and nothing changed. I still get stuck at the same screen x_X
Hello everyone,
Even though this is my very first post here, I've been occupied with rooting android phones and flashing new ROMs quite often. I encountered what seems to be an unsolvable problem.
I'm using an S3 I9300 with ArchiDroid v3.1.5 flashed. I had to remove the power button several months ago due to malfunctioning. A couple days ago, my phone suddenly went into a boot loop after the battery was drained and phone was shut down. I charged the phone and turned it on but it never boots. Samsung logo comes and archidroid boot animation starts but the phone gets stuck there. I actually know many ways to get out of a boot loop using download mode, recovery mode, adb, fastboot etc. However, it seems like there's no way to get my phone out of this loop since it does not have a power button. I've tried every single method to go into recovery or download mode without a power button but it does not work. Since the phone does not boot, I can't use any apps to go into download or recovery mode. I tried using adb while the phone is stuck at boot animation but it is a no go due to authorization. It looks like there is no way to get this phone into either download or recovery mode where I can save it easily.
I've been searching everywhere for the last two days for a solution and any method I found, I tried immediately but nothing works. I tried all common and even uncommon methods to put the phone into download mode without a power button. Also couldn't find a way to get around the authorization problem to use adb.
My phone is now out of order and I need a solution urgently. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, I have a samsung galaxy j600fn/ds, tryed to flash twrp, something went wrong and now I'm locked on the ''Samsung'' logo screen
I guess it is brick, though I'm totally stuck at the screen, the phone won't even turn off, so I don't know how to acces download mode to install stock firmware.. anyone can be of help?
EDIT: solved.. of course the solution was just to wait for the battery to be completley depleted, I just got scared there not beeing able to do anything
Wait-
So you just let your phone in bootloop all night (?), then you charge it without turning it on,
waited till 30%, and then you put it in download mode and installed the firmwere?
Does it really work? 'cause I tried to do that before, and the bootloop stopped. I tought I ended up into an hard brick.
I pressed powen and tried to put the phone into download mode, but nothing.
I put the usb on my pc, and odin was actually reading it, so I tried again and again to get into the download mode.
Afret 30 minutes, i pressed power again, (and finally) the boorloop restarted.
Well um.. the phone now is probably at 60%.. I hope it wont stop again, and I hope this method will work.
