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:

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

soft-bricked odin passes same result

so i recently got a note 3 from a friend to fix for her. it boots to the samsung logo then vibrates and reboots over and over, recovery just says "booting recovery" then it goes blank and reboots to the same booting recovery screen, shes doesnt know what version it had prior to bricking. she said one day it was working then turned off and never back on again, the odin mode screen had a2, a3 on it ill post a pic later anyway i can get into download mode so i figured id just flash with odin and be good, i tried to narrow down the proper firmware with the a3, but after flashing nc2, nl1, oc1, im still stuck odin says everything passed, i tried flashing the big main file, tried flashing them in each box at the same time, even tried it with the pit file, tried flashing with odin 3.9 and 3.10.7. same result odin says passed still cant access recovery or os. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash rom. When you see reset on the statutes window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, boot directly into recovery, perform a factory wipe, reboot.

does it matter what version i flash? since im not really sure what version it had prior?

I can't figure out how to upload a photo I have xda 4.0, and can't post outside links yet. Anyway
It says
Product name:N900A
Current binary: Samsung official
System status official
Knox void status 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot enabled(csb)
Ap swrev s2 t2 a2 a3 p2
Secure download enable
Udc start
Hope that helps

Ran Odin again with the settings you said, after the battery pull the phone says recovery booting, then turned off vibrated twice then same screen again and again. Thanks for the suggestion though any our ideas? I was searching and thought I seen somewhere that to unbrick it it needs to be the same firmware it had before, but I don't know what that was.

You should probably ask her if she had Lollipop. If she did then that narrows it down to OC1 or OC2.

She doesn't know, not very phone literate as far as software, any ideas? I read in another thread to flash a modified version of nc2 but can't seem to find that version, this is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
Don't know if I can't find it, kinda confusing as far as what I need, like I said I've tried everything except oc2 cant find a link I've tried googling, and that thread says Odin files but can't find a full one for oc2, there's ones for safestrap but can't find Odin

Please help.. what have I done to my phone.. Galaxy S6 Edge+ AT&T 928A

I'm officially fed up. I (STUPIDLY) attempted to root my galaxy using ODIN and have been trying to get it back to normal for 3 weeks I'm finally asking for help , if anyone can offer any..
My situation. ....
I used ODIN and a root file I downloaded. . I did it all just the way the guide said.
My phone restarted and I got a message fr ok m samsung + device health check, warning me that my device is rooted
Next , I go to install superuser etc . Get error messages that my devices is NOT rooted and there is no binary.
So I'm stuck with this device that functions but is constantly giving security warnings that unauthorized activity has occured. Knox and Samsung pay say that my device is "Custom" and those apps , along with others won't allow me access for that reason.
This is the info from my screen in download mode (ODIN MODE)
PRODUCT NAME SM-928A
CURRENT BINARY SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS CUSTOM
REACTIVATION LOCK OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID (0x0000)
I have tried -
reflash stock rom , odin just locks up and then I get FIL message
I've factory recovered the device, wiped cache and partition etc numerous times to no avail.
Kies says my device is not compatible, smart switch says software is up to date and that my device doesn't support initialization for recovery.
Any ideas.. I'm all ears! Thank you!

All I had was the security message for my S6 Edge. What I did to get the notification to go away is that I froze SecurityLogAgent (package name: com.samsung.android.securitylogagent), which of course, root is required to do so.

Use Factory cable.

Make sure you are using the original cable that came with your phone when flashing...
Ensure you are using the newest version of odin.
If odin detects your phone in download mode. Then you should be able to flash.
Make sure usb debugging ... and OEM UNLOCK are both enabled.
Clear devilik cache in recovery mode (Not download mode)
Make sure you are trying to flash the correct recovery files for your phone. (Correct region)
I have supplied the recovery files for OGG AND OJ1 stock firmware on the "obtain a little freedom" thread for the G928A
Flash back to stock, and use smartswitch to restore your (pre-backed up information)
Also what version of Windows are you working with?

Gear S2 Classic is Stuck On Update Loop

UPDATE: I've submitted a delete request for this post since it was moved to the Samsung Gear S2 group.
I've flashed the R732XXU2AOJ3 firmware form this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s2/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123 using Odin and the watch started properly and I could connect it to my phone. The phone app suggested an update (I don't remember the version), after copying the update to the watch it has restarted itself and performed the 0 to 100% update step. After reaching the 100% it just shuts down, every time I turn it on it goes again through the update process (picture attached) and shuts down.
Using the normal bootloader factory reset doesn't work and the phone it stuck on the boot logo when using that. Now even if I flash the R732XXU2AOJ3 or the R732XXU2EQH1 firmware successfully using Odin I’m still stuck on the update process as shown in the attached picture. By the way I only have the AP, BL and CSC files I couldn’t find the PIT file for those versions anywhere. The watch was always used with its official stock firmware.

Thread closed at Op's request.
Thanks

After a stock firmware for the N920I

I had my phone turn off, and when I turned it back on I got the FRP lock message.
So I tried factory resetting it, still wouldn't boot.
I grabbed a firmware from firmwarehome<dot>com and tried to flash it after doing the Volume down+home+power to get into odin.
After hitting start with Odin it fails and I get a "SW REV, CHECK FAIL, DEVICE: 4, BINARY: 3" message.
I've tried downloading what they say is a stock firmware from sammobile, but after registering, selecting the free subscription and clicking download, it just tries to get me to sign up for a subscription and won't let me download it.
Is there somewhere else I can get the stock samsung firmware for this thing so I can get it back up and running? Or is there something else I can try?

I think I have experienced such a situation. I facing the problem like you such before because I unchecked the OEM unlocking under the developer setting. After that I restart/off the device then facing error FRP message. So I just reflashing the firmware using odin ver 10 for sm n9208 samsung note 5 odin.after done it solved.
what android version that you using?is device rooted?
ref:Marshmellow android using twrp custom recovery and kernal........before this time i'm using..
Now-->original firmware nougat so sad gaiss..not ready at all for rooted again..?
