Noob HELP! : Softbricked my GTAB 8.9 GT-P7300... :(

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their very useful posts! I 'kinda' understand now what everyone here is talking about...Kinda...
Anyway, I just bought my 8.9 around two weeks ago and decided to upgrade my OS to 3.2. I tried it through Kies, but Kies was not able to recognize my device, tried OTA update but was not able to connect to server...So I tried manually updating it myself, and now, based on what I read here, I think I softbricked my GTAB...The boot screen keeps loading and it does not want to push through...
My TAB is not rooted, and based from the threads that I have read here, i need to root my TAB first but unfortunately, I could not do that anymore..
Can someone please help me out? Noob here...Would really appreciate a step-by-step Noob guide on how to fix my tab...Thank you so much in advance!

To restore functionality (and I mean to enter the ROM itself) you must use ODIN. There are several images to select in the Development forum for your 7300 unit. A how-to use it is also available in my signature's guide. Don't worry about your SDcard contents, ODIN doesn't touch them, but it does delete the apps.

ok, i tried odin3 v1.85 and I downloaded a stock rom from sammy thats suppose to be compatible for my region. ODIN status was fail after a few seconds and I got a 'binary' error message in my TAB.
I'll try and read your how-to use now..
My tabs not rooted...will that be a problem?

No, root is independent of the device's bootloader, so no, it is not related. You can try any image as long as it's 7300.

sorry, noob question...when you say 'image', your talking about the .tar file right? so as long as its 7300, it should work?
i have the: P7300XWKK5_P7300ODDKJ1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar.md5

IT WORKED!!!!!!!
Thanks nirogu325!!! I will spread the word!!!

A Little Sammobile help please?

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Note for a little over 2 years now and am running a custom ROM on it.
I'm planning to sell it off and see if I can get a new phone so I wanted to flash the stock 4.1.2 ROM but the download link on sammobile, for some reason, doesn't work.
Everytime I click the download button it gives me the error "User not logged in. Go to our forums to log in." even though I am logged in.
I tried making a new account, I tried a different browser, I tried clearing the cache and cookies. I even tried to download it through my phone but everything failed.
I also tried Dr. ketan's links but they were expired as well.
If someone could give me an alternate link to download the 4.1.2 firmware for India it would be very helpful.
Thanks
p.s - I tried searching around for a solution but I couldn't find any that would give me better result so I decided to start a thread. Sorry if its already been answered. A link would be greatly appreciated.

Can't install stock firmware...odin keeps failing

Okay guys, I just got a brand new tmobile note 4. Tried rooting it but something went wrong...
Didnt make a backup either so hopefully you guys can help me.
I installed twrp successfully...but after installing supersu...kept getting the boot loop.
Decided to give up rooting and go back to stock.
Downloaded the latest 5.0.1 stock firmware for my phone but after running it through odin, it keeps failing.
I don't know what to do.
I didn't hard brick it since i can still boot into download mode and twrp recovery. But i already wiped system so i don't have any OS on it now.
Should i just chance it and try and send it back to tmobile for a replacement?
Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Well, atleast you could find the firmware. -- I cant find it anywhere for my n910t3.

I just realized that i've been downloading the wrong firmware for my phone. i have the same model number as you. i just did a search and found a firmware for our phone model but it takes 3 hours to download. I will update in the morning when it's done downloading.
Since i can't post outside links yet, just google "SM-N910T3" and look for the firmware in the results, that's how i found it.

I have downloaded a firmware that I want to use it for my galaxy s5 with unknown baseband, and I will try it I hope it will work

Grab ye file from step for and follow instructions. If she is rooted then this will work. It'll take her back to 4.4.2 unrooted.

Thanks for taking the time to help with this issue. that file didnt work, i flashed the G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions firmware and its at least working again. thanks again to everyone who looked and especially dirtydodge for taking time.

Phone is working again guys but was wondering if anyone knows why it keeps giving me this security notice pop up...says that unauthorized actions have been detected and gives me the option to restart or cancel. Sounds like it has something to do with KNOX from my searching. Trying to solve this without rooting. When i check the KNOX counter in D/L mode it says 0x0. Ive updated firmware and security updates to latest versions and it hasnt helped. Anyone have any pointers? As always any help is greatly appreciated. Searched around the web and xda and didnt find what i was looking for.

@wigglesrewind. Chances are is that the phone is still rooted and that's why your getting the notification. Go to the pay store and download "root checker" and see what it says. Also what is your version & baseband. I'm not sure why the "downgrade to nce" file didn't work for you. It might have been a bad download but you should be able to use it if your still on 0C4.

Thanks again dirtydodge for contributing. I did a check with root checker and it says root is not installed. Also used terminal emulator and get a dollar sign in the terminal, not the hash tag. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with terminal emulator. The only time I've ever gotten the notification that you talking about is when i have root apps on the phone and certain things aren't froze. But you need to be rooted and have titanium backup to freeze them. What version is on the phone.

Sorry, forgot to add that in the last post...
Baseband version oc4
Kernel 3.4.0
Build number LRX21T.G900AUCU4BOF3
Let me know if you need any other info. Like i said im not very experienced in this
But thanks again for your help. Its greatly appreciated.

Ok well it sounds like your on the latest firmware version. The phone may still have a trace of root somewhere. After you flashed the oc4 Kernel did you do a factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure what to do. But that does explain why you can't use the "downgrade to nce" file. The oc4 build can not be downgraded. I'd do a factory reset from the stock recovery menu and then wipe the cache. If that don't fix it then I'm out of options. Lol. Hope this helps.

Ive tried everything you mentioned except wiping the cache so I'll give that a try. Cross your fingers for me!

you flashed oc4 firmware which is why your baseband is oc4 (baseband is modem.)
What you need to do is download and odin a full odin tar file.. this will wipe everything clean and make it brand new...

If i were to find a full tar file would i just use the ap box in odin or would i have to do it differently? Usually those full dowloads have multiple files in them (BL and whatever the other ones are... CS maybe? Cant remember and not near the computer right now. Is that what your talking about?

Yup.. youre build is of3 or w.e which to my knowledge not downgradeable.. if you dont plan on keeping it rooted then you can flash latest full tar in odin using the AP slot..
I would recommend trying the oc full tar first if you plan on rerooting it.. the full tar will have multiple files including system, csc, boot etc.

Thanks alot! I'll find a full tar on here and odin it and see if that fixes it

does anyone have that oc4 one click file or know where i can find it. see it in my searchs but its always the same google drive share and they all say the file doesn't exist.

what do you mean one click?

[Q] Can't boot into TWRP and my phone got unrooted

Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.
What tools have you used? What guide/instructions did you use? What files have you used? What errors did you get? What results did you get. What do mean "didn't work"? "Didn't work" can mean many things.
I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.

I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.
First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

Stock upgrades are not going to work if you are rooted and have TWRP.
Stock updates require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition(no root).
