PLEASE HELP! bricked my phone! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Bricked my phone ! please help!!!
Hello everyone, I think I messed up my phone pretty bad. So I did everything on this instructions to load twp and everything seemed fine. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206)
Was able to get to twp and tried to install Renovate Ice ROM. After the flash was done the phone kept booting into TWP. . didn't know what to do so I did the whole process again thinking i will get my original ROM back. ( i know, stupid mistake ). Once i saw that things weren't going anywhere i decided to flash the Stock ROM back in and try to start over, the flash completed but now i'm stuck on a boot loop, the phone won't turn off and recovery is unacceptable.
I really would appreciate any help and am willing to donate a few bucks if someone is able to get me out of this mess.
thanks!

[Q] Htc wildfire rooting issue

Ok so guys i had just rooted my htc wildfire s (or atleast thought i rooted it ) and was trying to install a cyanogen mod ROM , it would not install ,if it would install it would be stuck at the htc logo screen , now i thought this would be the fault of recovery so i decided to install another recovery and flash that with cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but then when i booted in recovery it would show me the pink recovery, i got a little scared and flashed another recovery and now the recovery will not even boot . it will just go on htc logo and black screen , i tried many different recoveries but no avail , it is in s-on right now , please forgive me if this sounds noobish i really am a noob at this .please provide me with a solution and tell me if it is bricked and if i can repair it by taking it to a software shop and asking them to do it for me (Just advise me if i can come back from this)
Flash the first recovery, which actually worked, and if it installs, wipe everything and flash a basic CM7 rom. It'll work. It's just soft bricked don't worry.

actually i gave it to a software store , he said he couldn't do it as the files were not to be found ... i think it might have been bricked but seeing as i can access h-boot only and when i turn on the phone it only stays on the htc logo screen and does not proceed can you call this bricked . ? i tried the first recovery as you mentioned but it was no use ... i tried relocking and unlocking bootloader again but it seems as if that was unnecessary as nothing different happened .. im still waiting for an answer
This is really very weird.

Start from square one, unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery, if one doesn't install, try another, at least one will surely work, and then flash a new rom.
All the best.
Remember, android can never be bricked, there is always a way out.

[Q] Help please! I think i bricked my S3!

Hey guys, basically, i'm new-ish to flashing, but i was able to do it following all instructions. Yesterday i installed an s5 theme from this site that caused my phone to have problems such as the wifi not working. I was reading that flashing a custom kernel might help, it didn't.
So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.
well i posted this for someone else who wiped their phone, maybe it would help you. OR i got it all wrong. lol (i know, not so funny).
can you take your ext.sd card , put in different phone, download a ROM and whatever else you need. then place ext.sd card back in your phone and flash away? IDK, might work.
good luck.
err on the side of kindness
What mrrocketdog said, and you can flash a ROM with S5 theme already built in.. If you just want it back to stock, flash newest firmware for your device with Odin

[Q] NEED HELP PLEASE... Flash Stock from fastboot?? TWRP no mount?

So I was running the New Rom gohma in the Dev section everything was fine and I flashed a update on my phone so I went to factory reset it to pair it to my phone and boom I got stuck in a boot loop. After my hour of being brain dead and forgetting how to get in the bootloader. Now I have that figured out. I can get it to take different recoveries but when I flash a boot.img and system.img it either gets stuck at the M or it just boots into TWRP (or recovery) . I tried to clean some things to make sure it was a fresh install using -w witch now even if I flash a system or a boot.im TWRP wont mount recovery or back up I must of brooked the partition. So im guessing there is a way to fix this but I feel like im going the opposite direction with a phone I would just go for it till I got it because I feel more complaint that I wont destroy my device. where iam starting to doubt myself of that with the MOTO 360. I decided to put it down for the night to try and get some advise or help from others. I really enjoy learning these stuff and im ok with it for a learning project as long as I can save it at this point. I was also very frustrated so I decided to take a break . ANY HELP ADVISE

Use odin to flash stock samsung firmware.
Download stock firmware from sammobile.com. Always flash firmwares that are meant for the model number of your device. Always make backup of everything first before playing around.
You will not regret backups.
BTW Hello and welcome.

There should be a tutorial at sammobile.com. As long as you can get into download mode(vol down, home, power buttons together), you should be fine. I found a youtube video which might help -

Nothing to worry just go to recovery mode by volume up key+home+power button then u you have to wipe data/factory/cache. then select reboot system now and in 2 or 3 minutes it would okay.

it always work.

Cant Get Back to TWRP After Bad Flash

I flashed the latest version of Xenon HD 11-26 for my D852 and it gave me an error on reboot from TWRP saying that root wasnt there anymore and to reapply root, I said yes and reboot and now I cant get back into TWRP at all.
Im not sure if Im doing the back buttons right, but Im kinda starting to panic and Im not sure what to do since the phone wont boot to an OS now for me to try and use the software to reboot back into recovery.
Any sort of guidance would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I finally got Recovery to go back up, so, Im trying to reflash now.
Sorry for making a panic thread, guys.
