bricked/soft bricked please help - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

before /how i got here
i wanted to install a rom on my n5110
first I flashed twrp through odin and i could never access the recovery
so i tried to follow these instructions
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/n5110/install
which use heimball (i have used adb before, and i did have some trouble installing himball on el capitan, but managed to install version 1.4.1 since then i found that maybe it doesnt work anymore)
this is where the trouble started after flashing i was unable to access stock rom or recovery and was stuck at boot image.
after that I tried to flash this rom via odin (return to stock)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773712
now...
somehow this failled and i ended up with a screen that reads (firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery via kies....)
since then I have tried flashing again via the above method which failled
and another stock (N5110UEEMF1 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289441) which may have further confused things as realise that this is the out of the box stock and I was on kitkat
which gave the error " invalid magic string"
I have searched for a similar enough problem but not found please help

bump

Download the stock ROM from updato.com or sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. If it gets stuck in a bootloop after flashing the stock ROM, boot into recovery and perform a factory reset.
I recommend flashing with the original Samsung USB cable, a USB 2.0 port, and Odin 3.07.

Have you tried resetting with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
With this you can flash the stock boot image back, and hopefully after that you'll be able to flash everything else you want.
Alternatively you could flash stock Rom and Kernel with Odin.
If you have Kies installed, make sure that it is not running while Odin is running. They don't like each other.
You said you wanted to flash a Rom, what exactly were you trying to flash? Are you sure it was the right Rom for your device?

Problems flashing CWM through stock recovery

Hi, I am struggling trying to get CWM flashed without ODIN, my mini usb port is broken and I need to either brick my phone or get it back to stock for warranty purposes, but whenever I try to flash any of the custom recoveries available on the forum it fails the signature verification and doesn't actually flash CWM, so my problem is that I need to do everything without ODIN, many thanks in advance if anyone can help.

[Q] Can't flash any ROM via Odin or TWRP

My non-rooted GT-N7100 didn't want to boot after a longer period without battery charge. After fully charging, i got this screen: dropbox dot com/s/jy8sirmpgp6zm7h/20140823_214100.jpg
Later, i got the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"-message. I tried to flash the latest stock ROM (via ODIN, from sammobile, checked MD5) but I get a fail when writing system.img.
So I decided to flash a custom recovery (twrp v2.8.0.1) (and trip knox..) to flash via an OTG-cable, but this also doesn't work.
TWRP tells me there is "no OS installed" when trying to reboot.
What am I doing wrong?

try the steps under "3. Odin Instructions for the Samsung Galaxy S III "based" devices".
TWRP recovery should not be an issue if you rooted your phone before installing it. But, if you somehow have messed it up, try getting the firmware from Sammobile and flash it using odin. That should also replace your recovery to stock.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
I can flash a bootloader, recovery, pit-file, .. I'm using the right cable/drivers/.. It's just impossible to flash system.img to that partition. Twrp/philz/cwmrecovery give me an error when trying to wipe. Is it possible that that partition is corrupt?
I've tried a few stock roms and different custom/pre-rooted roms. None are flashable via odin (1.85, 3.07, 3.09), via adb sideload or USB-stick. I can't mount micro SD cards.
The phone was 4.3 when problems started; does anyone know where i can find the latest universal 4.3 stock rom? Sammobile only shows 4.4 and up..
Bricked?
Try twrp 2.7.2.1. and see if it works.

[HELP] My TabS 8.4 SM-T705 bricked

after i install linage rom my tabs is bricked, reboot stuck at samsung logo. i tried to flash stock rom via odin in download mode but did not work, like it hang. please help me, thank.
i tried to fix it with various methods, but not work. i can't flash with odin. i can't restore original firmware with kies. i can't use sideload because when i do something with it, it hang.
Have you got TWRP, can you still boot into TWRP?
IF you can get to TWRP, go to advanced wipe and repair all your partitions.
If you don't have TWRP try flashing it using detailed instructions on the Fenris thread

Tablet wont reboot in recovery mode after flashing TWRP

Hi to everyone.
Recently, I wanted to mod my tablet (SM-T805 chagalllite) and install the TWRP, and then a custom ROM. I followed a guide, dowloaded the twrp.img.tar file, dowloaded ODIN (3.13) and continued. I started my tablet in Fastboot/Odin mode, selected the file under the AP checkbox, connected it to the computer and then flashed the recovery. It said PASS and immediatly after it rebooted I pressed the key combo Power+Home+VolUp but it started normally. When I returned to the fastboot mode, it said KNOX WARRANTY VOID 1, so it did something. But simply the recovery wont start up, although I retried another 3 times. I tried with the AutoRoot package, it did the red android thing, the SuperSu app was there but the Root Binary wasn't. Any help?
P.S:
The twrp and odin are both at last version.
Nevermind, I solved my problem. I installed CF Autoroot which reinstalled stock recovery, and flashed TWRP using its official app.:good:
I need help was using twrp 321 some thing for quite a while and had no issues flashing ROMs back up ect. But I tried to do a restore and it failed due to , unable to mount system.
Ok no problem i thought I'll reboot and try again. Only now twrp loads the splash screen then reboots it self. IV tried updating to latest version with Odin still doesn't help. Samsung t805 here please help

Ok I fixed it the back up from twrp curreupted the recovery partition. Even reinstall twrp doesn't work or trying to get the stock recovery. To fix it you need to download the entire stock ROM and install the ap via oden in odin mode. My system didn't even boot stock but this fixed the recovery partition and could flash twrp and install a custom ROM
