I cannot turn on device, enter recovery, enter download mode (volume down + power), and phone does not vibrate or have any sign of power. Phone was about 60% when I attempted to flash something and it powered down and bricked my phone..

What build were you on? What were you trying to flash, and using what tool?
You can usually recover from interrupted flash attempts by rebooting into the downloader.
You're missing part of the downloader boot. Starting from powered down (best to pull battery), hold down home and volume down. Then hold power. When the phone vibrates, release power but continue to hold volume down and home.
Hopefully you can get into download mode and be able to recover.

Try to remove sd, sim, battery. Hold volume down + home + power button while still holding insert the battery. It should go to download mode so you can flash from odin.
If it neither goes to download mode, try usb-jig.

Not sure if this is the proper section for this but thought I would post this here as I'm sure it would highly assist people in development and other tasks. This is the button combinations you need to enter each mode.
ODIN/Download Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Down
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button until you see a disclaimer on the screen
Then let go of both buttons and press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Once the green robot is visible on the screen this indicates that handset is in now ODIN/Download mode
Recovery Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Up
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button
As soon as the phone vibrates, let go of the Power button but keep holding Volume Up
When you see the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo (not just the word "Samsung"), right after that, the next screen you should see is your recovery
Don't let go of Volume Up until you see your recovery
It's not necessary to hold the Home button to boot into Odin mode, the combination for recovery is correct though.
So just power/volume down for Odin and home/volume up/power for recovery

Thanks!
No download mode
I've been trying to get into download mode for days and can't seem to figure it out. I have the Verizon g s4 sch-i545. I've done all of the key combos and even tried some combos + plugging in the USB cable. Nothing is working for me. Any help would be nice. Thanks
I have no problem getting into recovery mode....

Home isn't necessary for recovery either. I just hold power and volume up, when the phone vibrates I let go of power and continue to hold volume up until I see the booting recovery message in the upper left.
So nothing? Nobody can offer some advice?
Moto not working
So I'm having no success with this. I went through all the steps including flashing the pre-release tar ball (MD2). All this went without fail, however once I launched Motochop and pressed enter to root. I get line Daemon not on. run port 5873. Daemon connected or on and then thats it. I don't get a notification at any point prior to me pressing enter or afterwords that I need to accept. It just stops and I get "you should reboot" from the notification bar. Have I done something wrong? I went through all the prior steps several times and I keep getting this error message.

Agreed. Volume up and power for recovery. Volume down and power for odin.

Don't just push them. You need to hold both until you feel the phone vibrate. Then you can let go of the power button, but keep holding volume down until download mode starts.

When someone offers a debloat script that's in a Zip file and says "flash it to your device" do you think they mean flash it in Odin mode or flash using TWRP??

Odin Error
I am having one heck of a time flashing to the GS4 with Odin. I follow all of the steps to a "t" but cannot get the custom kernal onto the device. I'm having no problem getting to download mode and all the setting look to be correct, however when I start the Odin process I end up with a "fail" every time. I have been looking around the web for a few days for an answer, but so far this looks like the best thread to get help.
Make sure the kernel you are trying to flash is compatible with the Odin method. A lot of kernels can be flashed via custom recovery. The first thing I would do is uninstall and then reinstall the Samsung drivers. Make sure you have the latest and it is compatible with your computer OS. You would be surprised how often drivers can screw up Odin.

I cannot boot to download mode, because my boot loader keeps loading. I have a Sprint LG Optimus G (LS970). The way to get to download mode is when off hold vol down + vol up + power. The way to get into boot loader is vol up + power. When I try to enter download mode, it keeps giving me boot loader mode! And the forum for this phone is no help, so that's why I'm asking here.

Download mode is when your turn off the device, hold vol up and plug it into the computer.

Holding vol up and plugging it into the computer does nothing and download mode is when you hold all three and let go of them when the captive lights come on. But it's not working.

If it doesn't do anything, then something isn't working right. That's how you get into Download Mode on the G2 (volume up and plug in).
I'd try different cord, port, or computer.
Edit: Sorry, can't read...lol I thought it said Ls 980. For the 970 you need to do volume up AND down while plugging in.
Recently did factory reset for my i9100, downloaded reboot manager and rebooted into recovery from that app.
Now I can't get out of recovery mode since power button doesnt work in there and my middle button is broken too.
VolUp and VolDwn work everywhere and I can turn phone on by power button.
Any help? I'm on 2.2.3
edit/ i also rooted the phone recently with kingroot via pc
Hi @noupls,
To get out of recovery mode, you need to take out your phone battery.
Once your phone is off, reinsert the battery. Then go into download mode (press and hold volume down + power button + home).
Once in download mode, flash stock ROM via ODIN (if you've already download the firmware files).
Saber.
With broken buttons, you're pretty much stuffed whatever you do with the device. You NEED to get them repaired/replaced ASAP.
In recovery, there should be an option
REBOOT SYSTEM (NOW)
With your broken buttons I'm pretty sure that'll be the only thing that works.
After an unsuccessful update, the phone was bricked. It cannot be turned on, but when is connected to the PC, the Qualcomm Port 9008 port become active.
Is it possible to unbrick the phone via Qualcomm EDL mode or any other way?
What? What do you mean it cannot be turned on? Even when breaking a samsung phone's firmware, "download mode" should still be active and working. In that case, you have to reflash a whole firmware again. Unfortunately, there's a chance that you will have to give up on your data.

I actually found a solution. I left the battery on the phone to be completely discharged. Then I pressed 3 buttons (volume (+), volume (-) , and power) and connect the computer via USB cable with the phone. The phone went into an emergency recovery mode. I tried to use Odin, but didn't work out. After pressing the power button (for 5 sec.) The phone restarts and the update started over.
Nevertheless, thank you.

Try entering download mode.
Power off your device.
Press and hold volume up and down buttons at the same time, then connect it to your PC while you still hold them. It will automatically enter download mode.
Flash firmware.
