Here is what i used (Try to follow step by step):
twrp-3.3.1-0-kccat6.img.tar doesn't exist anymore as an official TWRP image. They removed it, because it gave "not bootable any more" devices and "bricked phones" according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81486609&postcount=2284 and
Ironicly i use 3.3.1-0 and it work's fine, back at the topic at hand, you say, that you have S5 Klte, and S5 plus Kccat6? If so, have you tried checking that the battery might be an aftermarket, and TWRP is just blocking it? That was a real issue on the stock S5 Recovery, so i recommend if the Klte and Kccat6 baterries match, then you might wanna putting it in, if it work's then you know you have a bad aftermarket battery

</manifest>Yes, I have a S5 Klte bought newly and a second hand S5 Plus Kccat6. I have three batteries, one original from the Klte from 2014, one from the Kccat6 from 2015, and one original bought separately from 2017. All batteries have the same product number, and look identical, but with different production dates on them. I tried them all in the Kccat6.
Remove the battery, there is a sticker telling you exact what model you own.
Very Cool! Thumbs Up for this Gem
Well it might be that a chip or a over-time problem happened a.k.a hardware related, my other explanation is A. You are doing something wrong that i can't see B.The phone is not a Klte and not a kccat6 Those are the only alternative explanation's if not a hardware problem
The stickers says it's a SM-G901F and I flashed TWRP and LineageOS 15 for SM-G901F without problems in January 2019. Also download mode says it's a SM-G901F.Remove the battery, there is a sticker telling you exact what model you own.
Download the right TWRP, ROM AND GAPPS
in twrp clear all and everything, flash the rom and gapps in THE SAME FLASH without rebooting ( 2 files in one flash) , than reboot, there you go
Another option could be that I bricked the software somehow in an unrecoverable state without the phone having a hardware failure? Or should download mode always be able to restore such problems?
Ah... messing with pit files huh...
The download mode is your lifeline. Without a hardware failure, you would need to rePIT with a proper pit file. Try extracting the PIT from a stock rom and flashing it separately from the stock from which you took the PIT that you flash. Perhaps flashing the stock in its entirety doesn't apply the PIT as it should. To be extra sure that you're flashing the right stock, be sure to download the one that matches your original CSC.

Maybe an other or 2 other web browsers help to download from Google drive the .tar file instead of a .bin.
Yeah all good sorry, didn't see the tiny download icon on top... I was just clicking away on the file name. Not a google fan as I said lol
Thanks mate, saving my life. Sometimes I surprise myself at being such a noob
