My company issues the Verizon flavor of Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 for our users that are out in the field. It seems like this one particular user (or someone close to them) decided to try and root the device in order to get around the restrictions we have on them via a MDM client. When the tablet boots (even when trying to go into recovery via power+home+volume up) it goes to the triangle screen saying "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found. Please turn off and go to the nearest Verizon store". But unfortunately the store turned us away saying there's not much they can do. I am able, however, able to get it into download mode.
So far I've tried flashing the Verizon Stock 4.4.4 firmware, which I found searching around here, via Odin 3.10.7. It gives every indication that the process completed and shows the green "PASS" block up top. When the tablet reboots from flashing, it still goes to the triangle screen. Once the triangle screen comes up, upon reboot there's a lock at the bottom of the boot screen and the word "Custom", shown here: http://i.imgur.com/5PC0qeZ.jpg. It seems like maybe the bootloader isn't correctly being overwritten or something. When the tablet is in download mode, it says the following in the top left (after I've already flashed it a few times):
Odin Mode
Product name: SM-T337V
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock(KK): Off
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
I'd like to think I'm not a total novice with this stuff, but I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment. Where should I go from here? I've read from a different thread about the note 3 that sometimes you have to flash the .pit file again in order to nuke the partitions, but so far I haven't been able to find one I feel comfortable enough to try.

I was trying to clean my headphone jack on my samsung galaxy grand prime because it was having an issues of only playing music out of the left side of the headphones, and my googling told me that it was most likely just a dirty jack. So I was using a Qtip and rubbing alcohol (which was what was suggested to use after canned air which I don't have) and now for some reason it's stuck in a boot loop.
So I put it into recovery mode as per here and cleared the cache, which didn't do anything. So next I tried to recovery mode again and now it's stuck in something called Odin mode and says this:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G530AZ
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T2, H1, A4, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
then there's a picture of the android with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" underneath.
I made the text the colors on the screen in case it's relevant. I'm really panicking right now because I have an on call job and need to be able to get in touch with them daily so any help ASAP would be greatly appreciated. I've never changed the ROM or anything like that, it was just the stock that came with the phone and the phone was unrooted (because I'm addicted to pokemon go lol)

If you still able to access it, that's some good news, that's download mode, you could use that for fixing phone (idk if this will solve your problem) by reflashing stock firmware, but the bad news is you need to know your phone's baseband first
It seems to have fixed itself after leaving the battery out all night. I mean the headphone jack problem is still there but as long as the phone is working IDGAF.
A while back my friend gave me his tablet to try and fix. He was screwing around in odin and did a nand erase. From my research it seemed I needed a pitfile to fix it. This weekend I was clearing out some junk and found the tablet so decided to give it another try. I was actually able to finally find the pit file, so I downloaded odin, the pitfile, and the newest lollipop. In odin, I loaded the pit and selected repartition. Odin goes through the process, reboots the tablet to the little android guy it loads then reboots again and it hangs on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 screen and won't go any further. I can access recovery and download mode still and according to the recovery logs the OS installed and is there, it's like this thing isn't setting the boot partition correctly or something. Anyone have any experience with this, or able to tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

Hi there,
I wanted to put Cyanogenmod on an J500FN and went straight to Odin without enabling developer options Why? Bc I am dumb.
Since Odin failed I cant even get into recovery mode. Can't enter a password. Can't do anything, really.
Normal start and Recovery Mode start result in the screen showing the Android logo and then turning yellow/green before fading to black.
Download mode is working. I tried Kies, Smart Switch, Odin. Each time it fails and a read line on the phone appears ("Mom Mode. Can't Download"). Using stock firmware from Sammobile results in the same outcome.
Download mode says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-J500FN
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FRP Lock: Off
WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
RP SWREV: S1, T1, H1 R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: Enable
MOM MODE. CAN'T DOWNLOAD (<--- Added in red each time Odin fails)
Is the phone toast?
Thanks!
1.Try doing wipe data before flashing the firmware.
2.Try flashing Stock LP firmware.
3.Try to flash using Heimdall, which doesn't have some restrictions that Odin has.
4.Nand erase all option in odin might help a bit.
5.If none of these works i guess you need to flash the device using Z3x box or jtag. Go ye visit a samsung service and hopefully they manage to fix your problem.

have you read this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/how-to-unbrick-galaxy-j5-sm-j500h-t3536287
100% it s something that you can do to fix it .. Just search hard i had problems like this on many phones ( not booting and things like that) and i fixed them after some google .. all i can say is Good Luck mate Ps:don t throw it..
EDIT
My bad didnt read your full post.
I was gonna mention Smart_Switch_PC_Setup
Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions
I have tried everything I could think of and read about. Unfortunately, there was no debrick image for the model I need.
Ultimately, after days of extensive searching and trying, I give up at this point.
Either way, great forum, and thanks again for all the comments!

IT'S JUST A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS!
Alright, I've had this thing since 2015, it's in pristine shape since it's lived in an Otter Box all it's life, so I'm hoping it can be brought back from the dead.
A few weeks ago, it suddenly went into a boot loop. Phone is un-touched, just running random Play store apps and Nova Launcher (wouldn't even have that if TouchWiz hadn't kept crashing one day).
Thought I would be a smartass and fool around with the safe mode setting, etc. Well, apparently I did something very wrong, and ended up with an error message like this:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910A
CURRENT BINARY: Samung Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
Figuring I had probably broken it enough, I dropped it off at a repair place. They said they'd poke around, no guarantees. Week later: no joy, couldn't get it to work. I resigned myself to the fact I was out a phone and would need a replacement. A friend of mine recommended popping onto here and trying to download...a thing? I forget, some acronym that would reset it to Samsung's defaults.
So, I plug my phone in via USB, hit the power button.......AND IT'S ALIVE. Like it's a fresh build. Enter in my google info, run through some setup steps. I figure all is accidentally well. But now it's dead again. Screen won't turn on, though Windows tried (and found) some USB drivers.
It seems like it wants to work, but....won't. Maybe it's being moody, I dunno.
Any thoughts?
If you want to try to recover and start 100% fresh you can go on sammobile.com and download the latest software/firmware for your phone as well as the program ODIN. The site has instructions on how to load it onto your phone. As long as you have download mode (power, volume down & home button once phone off) and a charged 80%+ battery you should be good to go.
This would wipe EVERYTHING on the phone though.

Ok so the phone i have is/was actually a G935T, and had G935T firmware (BRC1) even though it says G935A on the board inside the phone. I tried to flash a different firmware, foolishly without turning off FRP, or turning on OEM, yeah im dumb. I ended up being stuck with the SBL error upload mode and couldnt even get back to download mode no matter how many times i tried, eventually i learned about EDL mode and took the phone apart and shorted the TP and re programmed the phone etc. and got it back to download mode.
Everything i flashed would always be successful in Odin, however nothing would ever boot past the looping S7 edge boot screen and recovery on every single firmware would also loop and ultimately give me kernel panic errors. i began to suspect that maybe i left something unplugged inside so i took it apart again and tried to keep the heat shield pressed down a bit more (since i had to open it up to access the test point) as i assembled the phone back together. No more kernel panics, but the boot looping was still present. I have tried G935T, A, P, V and U firmware and all of them do the same thing. Ive used the proper PIT files.
To make things worse, i flashed Oreo without realizing that i was putting my bootloader in handcuffs. To make things even MORE worse, i used a tool which claimed to convert an odin archive to be ADB enabled. now my device boots and says S7 edge etc, but then immediately goes to SBL error upload mode. Recovery still loops. Whats interesting though, is that since i used the converted archive, my device says exactly this in download mode:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G935A

FRP LOCK: ON

Any help would be much appreciated. Its going on nearly a month now trying to get this thing to work. I dont care about warranty, i dont care about knox i just want my phone to work....i cannot find any information about test device, how to go back to system status official or how to properly reformat all partitions that effect FRP or whatever the hell is locking me out of it. Also i am now not even able to flash ANY firmware because it keeps failing saying something about aboot fused -2 and none of the firmware i have will successfully flash. Im stumped.
