Soft brick, recovery refuses to wipe data

So, friend of mine tried to update his Telenor Serbia tab from HC to ICS via kies, it offered upade, he tried, and finished being stucked with samsung galaxy tab 7.7 logo.
Tab can enter both to download mode or recovery.
He gave to me and what I did so far is this:
- First, downloaded LQG and installed via odin, but tab is still stucked.
- I installed CWM 6.0.2.3 and tried to wipe data, but it refuses to wipe, it kind of starts, but reset immediately.
- Downloading LA4 (HC) rom to instal via odin and try to wipe from custom recovery, same result, actualy, it refuses to enter factory recovery, it says "updating aplication".
- Installed Touch recovery TWRP 2.4.0.0. but it wont even enter it.
- Now I am trying with some LQG_BLG ICS rom, and ig it fails, I'll try with Open Austria rom.
Any other ideas? Do I have to repartition data or it still can be restored?
UPDATE: I have managed to restore it via double flashing LQC_BLG rom that bassem.mohsen here. One time was not enough, but twice with not allowing it to boot, before the second time.
I have installed CWM after so I don't have issues with mmc, and that's it.

thanks for the up-date.. This sounds like a breakthru that alot of people (like me) could use...
Most that are stuck at boot loop...
ONE thing though....
you said in part.... " twice with not allowing it to boot, before the second time. "
Now can you elaborate on your 'timing' on when to push the start button again on Odin on the second flash..
Ive read this once before....
BUT... I think we need a specific instruction on the exact timing.. on WHEN to flash the second time.... what should be showing on our screens when we hit Odins start button for the second flash.....
Please instruct us on exactly when to flash the second time.... thanks alot....

5.1.1 means your phone has a sytem write protection, so it tried to reboot into recovery itself after auto-reboot => bootloop.
Do you have TWRP installed?
If not, flash Unikernel (you need a custom kernel with this bootloader) and TWRP, then use TWRP to wipe/factory reset and flash any ROM.

Use TWRP to wipe cache/dalvik and do a factory reset-
did you check the ROM you used was for your special device, and checked its md5-sum?
I personally would try downloading another one and flash again; once it works, do a backup in TWRP; very easy and done in 3mins.
Maybe you should try to manually log on to your network to see if this works first, in "network settings" tap the line to automatically choose your provider; should be it.
I used 4-file G920FXXU2COI1, after reboot phone not started so I flash Unikernel via Odin, now phone is turned on, but sometimes touchwiz was stopped, maps was stopped etc, phone find my network, but I can't logged
After wipe in TWRP phone stuck on Samsung logo

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G902T) STILL Soft Bricked Even After Flashing Stock Firmware

First off, I cannot boot into recovery so this isn't an option for me right now.
Phone: T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920T)
Firmware: Lollipop 5.0.2 or 5.1.1
**Not sure because I factory reset it this morning after updating to 5.1.1 yesterday.
Brick happened later in the day today.**
Rom: Successfully flashed TWRP this morning before brick occurred
Rooted: Yes, with Xposed Framework installed as well
So I rooted my S6 yesterday with no issue, then flashed TWRP today so that I could install Xposed. That went well until I downloaded a few modules in Xposed, rebooted my phone and the System UI kept crashing and wouldn't open. I entered recovery mode and attempted a factory reset through TWRP. Rebooted and got stuck at the Samsung logo with the "IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" message above it still, so the wipe clearly wasn't successful. After that I realized my phone was bricked/in a bootloop or whatever so I kept trying to wipe it in various ways in TWRP. I even went into advanced wipe mode and selected every option (system, data, dalvick, cache, etc...even internal storage unfortunately, which I think screwed me).
Finally gave up and went into Odin (using latest version, 3.12) and flashed the SAME stock firmware I did the last time this happened (it worked then but not this time). Basically no matter how many times I try to flash stock firmware, Odin either gets stuck or fails. Tried both a G920T firmware tar.md5 file for 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 and the 5.1.1 says passed every time but STILL does not get past the Samsung Logo screen ("SEANDROID NOT ENFORCING" message is gone now though, so I figure it did something) and the 5.0.2 firmware files just say fail every time. For some reason every time this happens all I can do is force restart the phone and enter download mode via HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER buttons but it just stays on the logo screen when I hold down the HOME+VOL UP+POWER buttons to enter recovery.
So I'm pretty much in a pickle. I'm at a total loss. I've done everything I know to do for the last 6 hours, including deleting the .md5 from the firmware files and all that mess. Can't find a .pit file in the firmware zip after it's extracted either and I've seen some threads say that I need one. I'm afraid this phone is a goner, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you in advance!

FRP Lock - unable to boot and flash

I recently bought an S7 and wanted to root. It's my first Samsung phone so the software is new to me so apologies if there is an easy answer. I (extremely stupidly) re-enabled FRP lock within Android after rooting (hoping that it was stop the unauthorised actions warning). This now means when i start the phone it states "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock" and would not boot in to Android. I've read some threads but the current situation is:
1) When i tried to boot it would not boot to Android and stuck at the first splash screen and warning. Whilst i had rooted i did not flash twrp so only have the stock recovery.
2) I went in to the stock recovery and did a factory reset and cache clear. No change.
3) I tried Smart switch and kies - no luck - both said un-supported device or hung on connecting
4) I went to the thread with the most recent stock download (Netherlands) and downloaded that. I tried to install that and it hung for about an hour. I disconnected and it now says "An error has occurred whilst updating the device software" and does not boot.
So i cannot boot in to Android, have no custom recovery and KIES/SmartSwap do not work.
Any ideas????!?!?
Download the latest MM stock rom and try to bypass the frp lock.

Flash latest nougat Stock rom from sammobile using The latest ODIN software. You shouldnt disable OEM unlock next time you root/install custom recovery to your phone or else this will happen again, and you'll have to flash stock firmware again.

Bootloop

I've tried flashing the Unknown (XAS) version of the N920PVPS3DRD1 firmware coming from the N920PVPS3DRD1 Sprint (cdma) Through odin. It got stuck on finding pit file, so I closed odin and now my device is stuck in a bootloop. It stays on samsung galaxy note 5 screen then restarts and goes to TWRP. When I go into download mode it doesn't display any information in the top left. I have a backup of the sprint version which I have tried restoring to (I haven't wiped any data in fear of losing the backup) However I have the backup on my PC too which I should be able to send to the device using ADB. This didn't work. And it is still stuck in a bootloop. Does anyone know how to solve the issue? Thanks.
Download the correct 4 file package(I like Android File Host) and reflash using Odin. Edit the Odin .ini file to unlock all of the options, and then make sure you check the boxes that say nand wipe, phone efs clear, and bootloader update. Also extract the .pit file and insert that into the pit section. If it doesn't flash fully the first time, uncheck all of the boxes, reboot Odin mode, and flash again. This almost always solves my flashing issues.
