boot loop factory reset doesn't work

[Android Central Question]

I have a samsung galaxy alpha, at first it would work for like 40 second and shut down after i took out the battery it went into a bootloop, i have reset it to the factory settings, and it worked! for a bit it was downloading some android apps or something and i thought it would be fine if i took it out of the charger but now i cant even get my phone to reset.

Welcome to Android Central! Sorry, but it sounds like either corrupt firmware or a hardware failure.
