Phone keeps restarting at recovery screen

Hi guys,
I have an issue with my phone:
Yesterday, tried to restore factory settings, since the phone was quite slow.
A second or so after I confirmed the reset, the phone turned off and wouldn't start.
I took out the battery and it was swollen.
I bought a new battery today, inserted and stated the phone.
What happens now, is that the phone boots, Samsung logo appears, then the TWRP logo appears, from this point, the phone stuck at this logo screen,
and flashes every few seconds (I can't post a video here, so I can share the link in private, if anyone can take a look).
I tried to leave the phone for about 20mins without battery at all, removed SD cards, removed SIM cards, no use.
Trying to boot to recovery or download mode gives the same result.
Tried today with an original battery of a friend's Galaxy S4 , same result.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do?
Thanks in advance for you help

Sound to me your power button is stuck/faulty. Does it reboot also when in download mode? If so, then it's your power button. Wiggle it loose or replace it.

It never gets to download (or recovery) mode...
It keeps flashing at the logo of the TWRP
Trying to boot to download or recovery modes, gives the same results

I don't think it's the power button. Otherwise it would turn off if it is stuck or not turn on at all if it's faulty.
Still, I wouldn't exclude it.
The screen flashing might related to a GPU problem. I don't think it is a problem you can fix yourself.

BCD Error Windows Phone - Can't Reset

Phone is an HP Elite X3. Randomly got a blue screen that says error 0xc000098 and something about the \BCD file not having operating system information in it. This is after restarting the phone twice after updating it.
It is not possible to put the phone in flash mode, it just brings back the blue screen when restarted. Can't boot to OS.
Any ideas? The computer does not recognize the phone.

Nokia 5 stuck at boot screen

My Nokia 5 suddenly got stucked at boot screen where it shows "Nokia" in a black background. I haven't done anything like downloading malicious apps/rooting. Just today a system update appeared and I haven't clicked it yet. Its getting hot.
I was using cleanit inside shareit to clean the cache then suddenly my phone hang so I pressed the power button then it doesn't open. After a few seconds it opened and showed that "Nokia" boot screen. I haven't touched the system update yet since I'm not connected to a wifi.
What can I do with this? Non-removable battery and should I just wait for it to get drained or what? It's the global version from Saudi Arabia

Fixed by soft reset
So, I tried to soft reset it by plugging it, press/hold vol up + power btn at the same time. I restarted properly. But still, I don't know why that happened, is it advisable for me to system update?

I have an update this morning and it works well, just update ok. Poor you.

Galaxy S8+ in bootloop without recovery and frp locked

Hi guys!
I've read tons of threads and guides on Google but nothing helped me to bring to life my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. After hours and hours of test and probes I surrender!
Basically I was using normally my phone and suddenly has power off and showing the Samsung Galaxy Logo continuously. I've force reboot it with vol down+pwr button and after some minutes restart normally again. After 5min again the boot loop and stuck there. Tried again to power it off but didn't work so I thought was the battery (because is 3yrs old with heavy use and months ago I had the screen flickering and a battery drain to zero). I opened the phone, unplug the battery and the power button (because I thought was the power button stucked as on my father phone). So after mounted all the stuff in their place I tried to boot it and suddenly start to work again! I've backup all my things rapidly but again power off by himself and this is the last time I see it working.
So I tried to empty the cache entering in the recovery but it was useless so the only way seems flashing the original FW with Odin. Downloaded the right one with Frija, upload the rights files in Odin (Home_csc because I don't want to lose my internal memory stuff) and the phone automatically reboots, pass the Samsung logo and go in Upgrading mode with the blue android screen and a % increasing. After that by himself power off and nothing happen.
I read some stuff about my possibilities to recover it without losing data but a lot of tutorial talk about entering in recovery but I cannot do it! Simply does not go in recovery with vol_up+bixby+pwr_button even after force shutdown it with vol_down+pwr_button or reattach the battery. The only thing I'm allowed to do is put it in Download Mode to be recognized by Odin.
I've tried to launch ADB devices but it is not visible in Download Mode.
I've tried to flash another firmware for the same model (theoretically my one is unbranded italian) but I tried with WIND one because in download mode there is a text "Carried_ID:WIND" but this FW Odin fail to upload it.
I've tried to flash the TWRP with Odin but fails on the phone with error "Custom binary(recovery) blocked by FRP Lock". I've searched how to unlock it but without have access to recovery or phone settings seems impossible. And this phone has also OEM Lock.
I've tried again to flash the FW but the only difference than before was the blue android robot with stucked text "Installing system update", "Erasing" , "yellow advice notice" and finally a green screen with "An error has occurred while updating the device software.Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software". And yes, I already tried with Smart Switch but the program does not detect the phone.
I've also tried to flash the original recovery but nothing change.
Seems that my devices is bricked or a kind of boot loop.
In my situation there is something that I can do to recover the internal memory data? I don't tried to flash the FW with CSC file because I don't want to erase all the data.
My Galaxy was original since the purchasing, no root or flashed a FW, only OTA updates.
I've attached a photo with the stuff that appear in Download mode.

S5e stuck in boot loop

I recently got a wifi model S5e and I believe the previous owner did not know what he was doing, and tried to updated the firmware through Odin and messed it up. Whenever the tablet is plugged into power or a USB port, it will boot to "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recover function in the Smart Switch PC Software" screen, then restart itself after a couple seconds. It does this the entire time it is plugged in. I can hold the VOL keys then plug it in and I get to the "Custom OS" screen, but it does the same thing and reboots after a couple seconds. Is there anything I can do to get it to stay on long enough to flash new firmware to it?

Call Samsung at 1-800-SAMSUNG. I messed up my tablet the same way. I had someone local look at it, but they couldn't fix it. I sent it to Samsung and they fixed it for free, but only because it was still under warranty. They can check your serial number to see if yours is still under warranty.

Seeing as they have a customOS installed on their device. Samsung won't touch it as it has been rooted, which breaks the warranty.

Reboot to your "custom recovery" and flash that "custom os" again?
