Tried to install LineageOS on Tab S2, now it is soft bricked - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I am very inexperienced with custom OS on Android and I was trying to install a lineageOS so that I can run octoprint on my tablet for my 3d printer. In doing so, I somehow deleted the stock OS.
Now my device either flashes the samsung logo (if I boot normally) or it can get to the download screen if I hold Power + Home + Vol Down. But I can't seem to get my computer to find the device, so I can't connect it with Odin. Do you know of any guides or threads you could point me to? Or how to fix this?
My model is SM-T713.
Thank you

I downloaded the stock firmware from here - https://github.com/ivanmeler/SamFirm_Reborn/releases/tag/0.3.6.3
I am trying to use odin to reflash it to my device, but it seems the device isn't being found.

Pressing Start in Odin does nothing. Is there something I am missing?

Fixed it, kind of. It was a bad cable. Switching out the cable allowed Odin to connect, it downloaded and passed, but it is still stuck on the samsung logo.

[HELP] i9305 Bootlooping and ODIN Stock firmware fails

Hi All,
I'm looking to fix this S3 from this boot loop problem. It ended up in this problem from use, not by firmware changing.
ODIN Fails almost immediately when trying to Flash.

I've used the Firmware file name: I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_DBT from a XDA forum page
This was running Stock Firmware (Grey Import) with root via Framaroot. No Custom Recovery or any Custom changes like Radio firmware).
Before my replacement phone arrive, I had a very similar problem one day and I attempted to do an ODIN Firmware flash to recover, it failed to flash then also but must have done something because my phone continued to work for another 3 months.
I have recovered everything I needed during this time but now I want to get this phone working again.
I can't see anything physically wrong with the phone and there isn't any water damage. I disassembled / re-assembled to check for any internal damage.
Please guide me where I should proceed from here.

Need help, I tried to unroot my Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 T813 and at least soft bricked it

One day, after my rooted tablet ran out of battery, it didnt boot anymore and there was black screen and something with kernel was written in a corner, i dont remember it, but the solution was that i unroot it and flash it with the right stock android.
I used ODIN and while it was like 25% percent flashed, the connection with the usb broke and then the flash failed and if it try it again, it fails again.
My tablet always loses the usb connection, it connects for a sec, then disconnects, then connects for a sec, then disconnects, maybe it even has loose contact on the tablet or the pc. (the samsung usb connect firmware is uptodate)
Now the screen is blue and it says: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery funktion in the smart switch pc software.
Pls help me out, im a noob in rooting and co and need ELI5

Galaxy S5 G900FQ won't boot after root

Hello. Today i booted my S5. It wen't good and didn't face any problems doing it. After that, i removed some applications that i don't like with a program. When i was done with that, my phone kept giving me a strange error. I though i deleted something wrong and decided to repair it somehow. Downloaded FonePaw for Android to my PC and repaired my phone. During that, suddenly the program stopped and i disconnected my phone to the PC (i know that was a mistake). Now i can't boot my phone. Nothing happens when i try to turn it on. When i try to get to he download menu, Samsung logo stays in screen for 5 secs then an error pops up in the screen for about 1 sec :

}
It says : Your device will be in the recovery mode all though the recovery process.
Tip: If the data recovery is completed but your device keeps in frozen stat. Please restart our product and connect your deice, the program will prompt you to exist recovery mode"
I don't know what to do now. Thanks for your help in advance.

Installing Custom ROM need help!!

Hello! I am currently trying my best to changing my phone to another OS, such as Pixel or Arrow etc. however I am having so much difficulty with finding a working recovery file. I have tried SHRP and OrangeFox however it says either "remote: 'size too large'" or "Status read failed (Too many links)", I also tried those recovery images from youtube tutorials or forum tutorials but I get the same result. I really do think that I should just start over from the beginning.
My phone is already unlocked, with MIUI 13.02 and Android 12.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is me using SHRP
This is when I use OrangeFox
I did use most versions, official/unofficial, outdated/latest, but still same result. I also did the manual method of holding the power and volup key but it just keeps on rebooting until I let go and it boots up normally. It is also said the error about having too many links is caused by the usb cable, which my PC has a loose port, however it should not happen that often and that instantaneous.
Here are just some of the files that I have tried to use, some have been thrown away, if it helps..
Can someone please help me find a working recovery file, and a good custom ROM, at this point anything will do for me. I am also considering just looking for a technician to flash my phone. I have spent so much hours just for this ;-;
