[Q] Bricked Phone, can't get into recovery or download mode

Got Clockwork installed, and put Noobnl's 1.1.1a ROM on this afternoon. Immediately had a couple of times I had to pull the battery. Well, I plugged the phone into my PC to try another ROM, and the screen blacked out. Yanked the battery, and it's suck on the "SAMSUNG" opening screen. Can't get into Recovery, can't get into Download mode.
suggestions?
Edit: gotta take the SD card out.
Edit2: Successfully flashed to DI18, Odin was all happy. Still can't get past the "SAMSUNG" though.

let the phone sit untouched for 45 minutes, and tried again.. started up.
Weird.

yea if you can get to samsung screen then its not bricked

Bricked Phone Help!

Help!
I've had CM7 on my phone for some time now
I left my phone in my room when I went out, I noticed when I got back it had ran out of battery and kept booting, running out of battery, and restarting. I put it on charge and it was running and charging ok, but accidentally pulled the power wire out and it died again.
I've tried restarting the phone since then and it just boots to a blank screen, I've tried booting to recovery, fastboot and normal powering on, all of these just boot to the blank screen and does nothing
Please help with any suggestions!

Gee. try connecting your phone to your pc then see if your pc reads your phone. If it does then you could try installing stock ruu from your pc to the phone.

Probably bricked LG G2 running SlimSaber

So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.

I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.

Even Stock Rom doesn't fix it and screen not turning on.

Ok. so my friend was in the library with me so his phone crashed. so he pulled the battery and put it back in. (sm-g900v) and then it boot looped. and did so again. so i wiped cache partition as well as factory reset it. and it still dident work. so i bought my friends phone home and i downloaded his stock rom off of sammobile. (and yes. it was the right 1) anyway so i stock romed it and it was success. but it still boot looped after i stock romed it. so i pulled the battery out and put it back in and now the screen dosent even turn on. But my computer can steal read it. any help? i cant go into recovery or download mode. even when i hold the power button. threres no vibration. untill i plug it in to the computer. any 1? help?

Try leaving it charging overnight maybe just battery died and drained to a very low state to low to turn on
Also what does the phone say when it is connected to Computer what is the phone recognized as?
What does the sticker below the battery say the phone model is?

S10+ keeps restarting, doesn't even go past Samsung logo

As said in the title, it's in a permanent loop of trying to turn on, showing the unsafe bootloader warning, getting to the Samsung logo, and then shutting off and trying again, all on it's own. I tried first by using the usual, but it won't go into bootloader, nor recovery mode. When that failed, I let it keep going at it until the battery was empty, and tried then. It still started the loop, but then it ended because it didn't have enough battery to continue and shut off. After that, I tried connecting it to the computer, but the moment I got the USB in, the phone tried to turn on, and started the loop, again. Even just connecting it to the charger, it tried getting on again.

Can you get into download mode? If so, just use ODIN to reflash the stock firmware. That should fix it.
