Need Help, Bricked SM-T900

I bricked my SM-T900 Wifi while attempting to root it. Can anyone help me get it un-bricked?
Here's a step by step list of what I did and what happened:
1. Turned on USB debugging mode
2. Downloaded and installed Samsung kies
3. Downloaded the file for SM-T900 from autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu/ (it won't let me post outside links)
4. Turn off tablet, get into custom firmware installation mode by holding power, volume-, and home, then confirm the warning
5. run Odin (v3.07, came in the zip file)
6. plug in tablet, tablet showed up as a com port but did NOT show any other information. I don't know if it was supposed to show anything else but I hadn't though about that at the time.
7. Clicked on PDA and selected the file CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5
8. Clicked start
9. Waited, it said it was doing something with cache, I don't recall exactly what it said
10. after about 3 minutes the screen looked wrong, all the pixels were different colors, (rainbow static?)
11. Waited about 10 minutes just in case that was not a sign of failure, then Odin reported that it failed.
Now when I press the power button, I get the screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried using that in Kies but Kies can't connect to my tablet any more. When I try to use Odin using the recovery with power, vol-, home, it detects that I plugged it in but when I try to click start it fails and nothing happens.

I have exact the same problem.
I have read many articles, who said it was easy to root.
That's not true !!!!.
Maybe because the tablet became an update today ?
What I did to recover the tablet: (phew !!!)
Download this bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2591013&d=1392923580
Connect to Odin and flash it.
A few seconds, it says OK, reboots and voila: there's your tablet again revived !!!!.

Unfortunately Odin fails before it manages to even connect to my tablet so I'm not sure it will work for me but I'll give it a try. It managed to connect before when I tried to flash the root files but now it fails every time. I'll update this when I get home and try flashing that.
Edit:
Got home, tried your fix. I am happy to report it worked and it only took a few seconds. Thanks!
Edit:
To anyone reading this thread, if you tried rooting your SM-T900 using the SM-T900 files for rooting, try using the SM-P900 files instead! I just tried that and it seems to be working fine.

I'm glad I could help. :good:
It's bad for your heart when you see that your expensive tablet is bricked.

Hello everyone. Where do I flash the bootloader in odin? Do I use PDA or Bootloader and do I need to check the bootloader update box? Just wanted to confirm before further messing up my tablet. Thanks!
Edit: Never mind, figured it out. Thanks for the help!

This method just worked for me. Flashed the bootloader with Odin after getting "stuck" and it booted right up.

What did you do exactly to fix it? I'm having the same issue. Just sits at screen and says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-T900
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
KNOX Warranty Void: 1
RP SWREV: A1
How do you use that recovery.img file?

For the top most problem flash cwm or TWRP recovery through Odin or through recovery mode then boot into cwm or TWRP recovery delete all files and install a supported rom.
If u want full explained steps mail me

it's 2022 & my T900 finally went into bootloop in model logo, does anyone know the real reason for this? is it hardware or software problem?
- I can flash any version via odin but still bootloops
- TWRP worked once after that can't get in anymore
- the only button working is for the download mode PWR + Vol Down
- before all this LED Stayed on until batt drained then bootloops
it's a good tab to watch movie while on a treadmill

Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge stuck on boot logo

Hello,
I have a Verizon S6 Edge, that I need help with. My phone was working fine and yesterday, all of a sudden it turned on, and is now stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by android" screen. It does not go past that. I can't even turn the phone off. I just have to wait for it to die. The phone has never been rooted and I've always just done OTA updates on it. I went to a local Best Buy to get it reflashed with the latest firmware but that still hasn't fixed it. I cannot access the recovery menu, only the download mode. I can also access maintenance mode which gives the option for Normal Boot, factory reset, safe mode, and USB Debugging. I have tried all those options but nothing different happens. I have downloaded the latest firmware from XDA and tried to flash it with ODIN and nothing happened there either. Any help is appreciated, I just don't want to throw my phone away. (I bought it last August)
Thanks!

I have the same problem, but i live in Mx and i can't find the stock rom anywhere. I hope someone can help us.

Hey, sorry to hear you're having issues.
Have you tried contacting Verizon or Samsung support yet?

Galaxy s6 verizon

did you by chance use a pit file for odin as well as a full tar?
you could have messed up the partitions..
try to repartition it using odin or you can always try samsung smart switch emergency repair option etc.

I didn't use any PIT files or anything. I just downloaded the stock OK7 firmware and put that in AP on odin, plugged my phone in under download mode and the update seems to go through fine but it still just boot loops. Doesn't go past the Galaxy S6 Edge screen. However, when I did that, there is now a padlock on my screen when it boots up and it also says custom under it and system status also says custom.

something is not right then.. check the download md5 and what odin version you running?
custom padlock should go away after fresh install of a full odin tar which should be ~1.9gb zip before extracting it

How to finish Rooting my phone via KingRoot

Hello this morning I tried to root my phone using the KingRoot app trough the purify app I downloaded yesterday. When my phone started to "root" it turned off. And when I try to turn it back on it doesn't power up. Instead I am met with a small red message at the top left of the screen that states "KERNAL IS NOT SEANDRIOD ENFORCING Custom binary blocked by FAP Lock" I went to a local phone repair shop and they tried to factory reset my phone and that didn't work. The employee stated that the root is already started and needs to be finished and referred me to this site to seek help. Please help I have no technological back round and just want my phone to work again.

flashing stock firmware problems

Hi all,
I'm having an odd issue. No matter whether I used Odin or Smart Switch I can simply not flash a stock firmware. Regardless of the method, the following always happens.
Downloads firmware to device
Reboots
Shows Android dude with "Installing update"
Stops half way through
Shows Android dude with "Erasing"
Disappears after few seconds
Reboots
Nothing is changed. Same as before the whole process...

Make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin! Do not allow it to reboot the phone! Flash the stock firmware again and after it says success unplug the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and when the screen comes back on select factory reset and after its finished the phone will reboot on it's own and you're done it should work correctly.

That's because you are trying to to root it I'm guessing? You either flashed the wrong kernel, or you actually did not turn on oem unlock in developer options. You'll need to restore it back to stock and then turn on oem unlock then flash a kernel/recovery and then retry what you're trying to do.

Fair enough. Where can I get the stock Kernel so I can get back into the OS? I keep finding bad ones with unmatching MD5s.

Make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin and as soon as it's done and says success disconnect the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time and when the screen comes back up you HAVE to select factory reset wipe if you don't you'll be stuck again just let the little android dude install the update and then the phone will reboot and you'll be ok.

Shoot sorry I should have mentioned that it was going to erase everything (I found out the hard way to lol) But even if I had known that I wouldn't have been able to get them back anyway once you can't get in to change the settings to file transfer.. I'm glad I back everything up to my laptop! The phone companies are locking the phones down tightly "for our own interests they say" which is BS and totally goes against what Android open source is supposed to be about!!!

Sorry I don't have time to help you work through this. But you're not bricked. Do the process again. Try switching up your usb ports and cables. Try clicking the bootloader check and try loading the csc file when you flash everything. And hold the buttons longer than you think you should to return to download mode. Galaxy Note 8 screen is normal. You are likely already rooted and can get away with only redoing the second part.

You've tried all these things? You've restarted your phone? It seems you are really pretty close and could just power through. But I don't see any reason you can't return to stock. That may take you longer if you don't have the file and if you don't know how to get back.

I wait, until the process says FAILED.
After this failed message my phone just stuck on Download mode and dont restart by itself. I decide to use combo to power it off and turn it on again into download mode.
2nd.
I place the other 3 files in odin And flash it, following the steps from Samfail thread.
Reboot and get stuck on this screen now what can be ?

Still trying to flash rev2.5 maybe thats where i went wrong? Its too late now. I can only get into upload and download mode. Trying to flash stock but having fail issues in reg odin and comsy. Im actually so lost now that I dont even know what to flash. Bricked? Anyone have any ideas? Ive tried everything i have seen on this thread and others with no luck. My phone displays all of the same pictures as in page 1. Im have ATT if that helps.
Thanks and sorry if i misread something to get to where i am now. Ive been doing different root methods since i had a droid x. Never had this issue before when flashing with odin. Ive always worked my way out. Maybe i need a break.....

now, after trying to get back into download mode and the samsung logo popped up and was flashing from light to dark. after about 5 minutes it said "android is starting", a few minutes later it went to a charging screen. now i cant get anywhere... lol..
battery died

Charge the phone leave it in charger.
Get into download mode and flash your stock image with Prince comsy Odin with the data bootflag and the bootloader flag ticket, you can do this by adding a 1 in the .ini file. Flash the stock image and then reboot
Then if you want try to flash again the 2.5 version
If you are an unlocked carrier make sure to flash the csc file I posted in the samfail thread somewhere
I had the same problem you had until I flashed the unlocked csc file

Same here but WORSE
The same thing happened to me except mine doesn’t have that message on second screen that yours does it reboots and system mount failure and to top it all off IT ENABLED FRP LOCK SECRURE FOLDER ALL THAT how can I possibly. Bypass this so I can reflash the stock firmware I do root phones as a side hustle I’m pretty well known I’m my town for being the tech guy. This isn’t my phone but I DO have the email and password I just can’t disable the frp is there a way UCSB deactivate it on my google account perhaps?
