Bricked Idol 3, need help recovering

I installed the OTA update last night and it's just looping through the "alcatel one touch" and "smart move" screens. It's been like that for hours.
I need assistance in getting into recovery mode, and hopefully getting my files off the device.
I have downloaded android-studio and am about to install it to get adb and fastboot, and have downloaded the drivers for the idol 3. At this point when it's plugged in, my computer doesn't recognize the device.
