Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Please wait while I connect you to the appropriate forum (below) where your device experts can be found:

For what it's worth, I think your stock recovery is still functional even with the flashing exclamation point. All you will need to do is download a full version of the stock ROM, rename it to MOFDSDUPDATE.zip, place on an SD card and boot the phone into recovery.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Bootloop, Can't get past warning screen in download mode

Hey Guys
So my friend gave me a Note 2 with 4.1.1 that's stuck in safe mode.
So i tried installing TWRP to install a KitKat rom, but i forgot to format data "stupid me :\"
anyways at first it booted till the part where it's "optimizing apps"
after it got to "finishing boot" it rebooted and, well, it's stuck in a bootloop.
so i tried getting into recovery by pressing the 3 buttons, it just continues with booting into the bootloop.
then i tried getting in download mode, it gets to the warning screen, but it refuses to continue when i press the volume up button :|
any help?? thank you

perhaps try to reboot you phone by long press power button...
if you could get the phone to be recognized by adb then you could use:
adb reboot download​
to get to download mode.
Just a reminder:
TWRP :Vol Up + Home + Power (Release Power Button when samsung logo appears, keep holidn Vol Up + Home untill you see TWRP )
Download Mode: Vol Down + Home + Power, then press up when warning appears.
Hope this helps.

but now, adb can recognize the phone, but it's "unauthorized" and stuck in a bootloop so i'm screwed :\
Anyways i think i should just take it to a repair shop but thanks so much for ur help guys ^^

Are you using the correct steps to enter recovery mode?
1. Power off your phone
2. Press and hold the volume up button, then press and hold power until the phone vibrates
3. Let go of power ONLY
4. Use volume keys to select recovery mode on the next screen.
5. If you have stock recovery, it will say "Error". While holding power+Vol down, press and release Vol up.

Recovery reboot

Hi everyone.
I have a weird problem with my d855.
I have installed the new port we have here for android 7.0.
The problem is now that I've flashed it I can't access recovery.. What happens is this:
I hold power button and volume down. Release when the lg logo shows and then hold again. As per usual.
Instead of twrp I see the green android with the red exclamation sign, then a black screen and the same happens.
What I can gather from the split second is this :
No command.
Supported api 3
Can't mount cache/recovery
That's it.
By the way the system itself work perfectly.. Only the recovery is broken.
Hope you can help me and thanks alot.
You can try flashing the twrp again.

Looks like u messed up during unlocking the bootloader.. Try flashing the stock ROM by QPST method... then again try to unlock the bootloader from the guide available at XDA ... For flashing via QPST... go to this link
https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/indian-z2-plus-qpst-official-firmware-zui_2-0-093_st.587/
and there is a guide too for QPST flashing on XDA ... All the best
view the video in the OP please
that is my actual scenario,
my device is only being detected as a CD/DVD that too after installing Zuk USB drivers.
I am unnable to switch it off if it has any battery left..
it will only switch off at 0% battery..
and the options on screen are not working
EDIT : I got to know i'm stuck in "all auto test mode"
Even telling me the key combinations to reboot into normal or some other mode is appreciated.
