Is My Galaxy S Duos Soft or Hard bricked?

[AC Question]

Hello everyone,

I recently did a hard reset on my GT-S7562. I wiped the cache partition and wiped the user data. After the reset the phone booted up, I did the Initial set up (language, wi-fi, time). Now a black screen shows up displaying the battery status, time network strength and nothing else. If I press the back key the set up starts all over again. I inserted my sim card and was able to set up the sim also but nothing else. No home screen, no app drawer. Nothing except a "black" screen. I tried another reset and the same thing happened. What do I do now??

I had the same problem after installing a root access app. The phone was in warranty and I went to Samsung. After a few hours they changed my Motherboard and battery without charging me.
Nowafter more than an year I have charging issues only from the fixed outlet and issues with very slow memory and system overheating.

Regards
