[Q] Samsung XCover 2 GT-S7710 bootloop

Hi,
I have a Samsung XCover 2 (or GT-S7710) that is stuck in a boot loop. The phone has never been flashed or rooted.
I couldn't get the Samsung logo shown, just a not-spinning spinner.
Image I have : andre-k.at/img/image1.jpeg
Taken from thread : forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/gt-s7710-samsung-bootloop-t3015707
When I try to enter in recovery mode (vol up, home, power) nothing happens.
When I try to enter in download mode, I have download mode shown a few seconds, then reboot...
I tried to flash a stock rom with odin and download mode, but flashing was interrupted by a loop, and now I have "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." shown a few seconds, and then reboot...
Any idea on how to get my phone working ?
Thanks

HI,
the real reason is maybe that the phone isnt charging
To fix it hold on charger after 1st shut down hold power volume down and home button. When you enter download mobe click on volume down button very fast before it turns off. It wll restart to fastboot ( samsung galaxy xcover 2 and model showed. It will shut down after it. So when you click on restart after 1 sec hold the volume up and home button. the power button will automaticly trigger and then when it showes the logo 1st time wait when the screen is black wait and when logo shows again release the buttons. then wait you whil enter recovery and dont do anything just let it charge it wont restart in this mode for some reason

reply me if you did it or there is an error

I actually have the same problem, but when I reboot it in fastboot and I press the volume up + home button, it displays the loading screen and it just doesn't work.
Am I doing it wrong ?

As soon as the Huawei logo appears release the power key and continue to hold the volume up key until recovery loads. That seems to work for me. Make sure you press the 2 keys at the same time to start.
Do you have stock recovery? or TWRP? and is you phone rooted?
IF you have a rooted phone you can install 'Flashify' or 'TWRP Manager' or 'ROM Toolbox' to boot direct to recovery while phone is on.

With the volume up, it says:
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted....."
Your device is booting now...
And then nothing.
Can't boot. Can only access fastboot.

Reflash your recovery in fastboot.
