Pressing the TOGA switches after touchdown DOES NOT give TOGA modes on the FD. The TOGA switches are inhibited after touchdown, so pressing them does absolutely nothing. The correct procedure is to advance the thrust levers manually, maintain the flap configuration, ignore the take-off configuration warning and rotate at VREF. When safely airborne, press the TOGA switches and perform a normal go-around from that point. Unfortunately, that procedure is not included in the bog-standard 777 FCOM and I'm betting most 777 pilots aren't trained how to do it.
