[Q] Help / Stuck [D800] - Can't get computers to see phone in Download Mode

I've probably used the LG Flash Tool 10 times the past week on both my home and work computer with no problems. Last night I flashed the KK bootloader and a stock 5.0.2 ROM (after tot'ing back to 4.4.2, rooting, etc).
It hangs at the LG logo and that's where I'm stuck. I tried going into Download Mode, but suddenly both of my computers won't see the phone and give me an error in Device Manager. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the drivers as well. Why in the world would that happen unless somehow Download Mode was corrupted, possibly? But it goes into Download Mode fine, and appears to look right...
I've tried getting into recovery but can't. When it should load up TWRP (after telling the G2's "stock" recovery screen I do want to reset), I get the green spinning Android (not the red exclamation) for a second, then it tries to boot up.

}
Any advice would be appreciated as I've never run into this before.

So when the green Android popped up, I tried to hit a combination of the volume and power keys and WAS able to get into recovery. Unfortunately, it appears, somehow, TWRP was overwritten by the stock recovery. I have no idea how that could've happened. Or does stock recovery technically stay in place since this is "loki'd" and not actually unlocked? And if so, is there some way to get back to TWRP that I'm unaware of?

To add to the weirdness, when I plug it in to charge, it doesn't pull up the battery like it usually does when powered off, it just tries to boot up again...
If I could just get the computers to recognize it again...

Installing the LG PC Suite got my drivers to a point where it could recognize it while in Download Mode. MTP still didn't work, but that didn't matter for Download Mode. Not sure what happened, but at least I was able to flash it back again.

[HELP] Bricked my phone while trying to root, can't load recovery only download mode

Hello there, I am very very new, so please forgive if I do a mistake.
So earlier today I was trying to root my S5(SM-G900H) and I was trying out this method: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/04/how-to-root-galaxy-s5-recovery-root.html
Everything was going smooth, Odin showed me the "PASS!" too, but when I pressed the volume up, home and power button keys together, nothing happened and the phone was on the download mode, it didn't do anything. So I took out the battery and rebooted, and it rebooted normally and I was able to use it again. I tried the same method at least 10 times more but always failed. Then after some time I stumbled upon this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
Followed all steps except one, didn't uncheck the "Auto Reboot" box and the "F. Reset Time" simply because Odin didn't let me, the boxes were dim and the mouse didn't respond on hovering over them. So, now my mistake, I pressed start anyway and Odin got to the blue box saying "RESET" or something and my phone restarted and the "Samsung Galaxy S5" logo and the "Powered by android" logo screen came up and it has been stuck there forever. I tried getting it into recovery a lot of times but recovery just won't come however it does load the download mode, so I tried the same "[SM-G900*] CF-Auto-Root" method, only this time I used a version of Odin that let me uncheck all the boxes, I tried several times but it just got stuck on the download mode like it happened in the first method, I rebooted and still stuck on the black and white samsung screen, yes that's right, not even the boot up animation. PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP. I'M DYING
Here is a picture of what my problem looks like:

Download a stock firmware for your device model, and install it via Odin.

The best way to do it, is do it through kies3. Go:
tools > Firmware Upgrade And Initialisation, and follow the on screen steps. It will ask you for your serial number and model number, so have it handy. This is how I have saved my galaxy devices numerous times.

Have you tried different USB ports and operating systems? Did you try deleting and re-installing drivers? Does the phone charge via USB cable?

Reflash TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery and trying to install any custom rom.
After if u want go back stock rom, go developer option and check USB Debugging check box then connect your mobile to your PC and flash stock rom via Odin.
Good Luck !!

S8 bricked / stuck in recovery mode, what did I do?

Hi,
first of all: I'm a noob and I've got no idea what I did. I appreciate all of your help to get my phone back alive!
My phone (Samsung Galaxy S8, SM-G950F, stock ROM, Android 9.0, not rooted or anything else) is stuck in recovery mode. It doesn't react to any buttons (e.g. very-long-press power button) or connecting a USB cable, also my PC and Odin with all drivers installed won't recognise the device.
What I did: I went into download mode to check if I could find my RMM status (I didn't) and navigated to "view recovery logs". I entered /cache/recovery/last_log and scrolled through it until I reached "back". I confirmed with the power button and - then I can't really remember what was there on the screen - I got into a similar log screen. It took a while and I pressed the Vol-down key quickly numerous times.
Then it happened: there was a screen with some options to choose from (written in blue) but spamming the button I probably entered something. Another log (or whatever) showed up --> see photos. It took about 20-30 minutes to reach 100% and then went back to the Android recovery screen, where it's been stuck for about an hour now. I tried cancelling it numerous times times with long-pressing power button, but nothing happened.

PLEASE help, is there anything I can do besides waiting for the battery to die and reboot?
Big thanks in advance!

Note: the device has been factory reset recently with no data on it, OEM unlocking and USB debugging were checked in developer options as I was about to flash TWRP.

1)Download stock firmware from sammobile or else (exact your device and model)
2) Download Odin
3)See video on youtube if noob(obviously ) to flash stock by going to download mode
After successful installation u will have your cell back
Cheers......

Thanks for the advice, but I found that pressing Power + Volume Down for 20+ sec. could eventually shut down the phone. After that it rebooted into recovery mode, even though it took ages.
Now I'm a happy owner of a LineageOS S8 btw
Entering download mode wouldn't have been possible at the stage I described in my first post, as the device didn't react to anything at all.

T510 soft bricked

After unlocking bootloader I attempted to flash TWRP onto the T510, but now I have managed to soft brick it. Smart Switch did initially connect to the device, but no longer does so, even after reinstalling the device driver from within Smart Switch.
The tablet is now stuck on the screen "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". The emergency recovery doesn't work as Smart Switch will not connect to the device, although when I plug the tablet into my PC I can hear the sound Windows makes when it detects a new device...
I can't power the tablet off either, not even holding the power button down for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, even 30 seconds does absolutely nothing. Have I properly bricked this?

I had to let my device just drain the battery before being able to boot up into recovery, maybe just let it go flat and try again

I left it overnight to drain the battery. When I woke up the screen was off, yet as soon as I plugged it into my desktop to try again with Smart Switch, it goes straight to the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software", like in the last pic in my previous post.
Smart Switch still does not recognize the device and it is in exactly the same state as it was before - I can't do anything with it.

Have you tried booting it into safe mode and resetting it from there?
