sm-t580 invalid kernel lenght - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I think I brikked my tablet but I'm hoping someone can help.
I was trying to flash a new rom, so I reboot the tablet in recovery mode and..... this message appears: could not do normal boot. Invalid kernel lenght.
Now the solution to this would be easy, I could use odin to fix it... however I can't enter download mode!!! I tried every possible keys combination, it just won't open it!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I tried in every possible way to root, unlock the boot loader, with pc and without it, but every time i try to do something on my zenfone 5 it enter in csc mode instead of droidboot and I can't understand why, can someone help me?

Unlocker for bootloader, this is made for kitkat but I tried it for lollipop and it worked, just check your screen when your phone restarts, you should see somelines there saying
Tampered = No
Authorized = No
Unlocked = Yes
for rooting, try downloading Kingroot on your phone.

ERROR: invalid boot image csc mode ONLY
DIXIES or any expert who can HELP!!!
i have asus a500KL zenfone 5 tried software update after reboot got ERROR: invalid boot image
i am fairly experienced with root access, custom roms and have been trying to fix this issue for a few days.
I am able to get to csc mode, also powering off and entering BLUE SCREEN csc mode.
I have tried ALL the flash asus tools and everything. tried a few intels but they dont even begin to work as mine is an ARM.
fastboot recognises csc mode!!!
I can flash a boot.img but that is it, does not change the situation.
Everything else gets an error, something like ERROR: Security prevents this action or something about it being locked. I think it might mean the bootloader is locked and cant access anything pretty much.
I have tried every key combination under the sun. (Timing, P + (+), P + (-), P + (+ & -), in all combos and timing combos.
Power + Vol Down gets me to the SD Update option.
CLick the top to continue and the bottom to reboot.
I have tried both and they both take me to the ERROR: invalid boot image
im stumped.
Ive Messed with HTC, Samsungs, Sony, Huawei for gods sake, even iphones and have never come across an issue like this that is so impossible to fix. I think i may have hit my first brick.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Did you flash boot.img in csc mode successfully (no error message on PC)?
If yes, and it is still stuck at invalid kernel screen, your A500KL may be broken.

Thats right. The boot.img was the only file I was able to flash in csc mode without error or failure, still unsuccessful in booting. All the issues are still the same. Is there any way of fixing this? If my bootloader was unlocked I think I would be able to restore it however am unable to unlock through csc mode I think!!! Every time I try and unlock bootloader it tries to boot the phone into recovery which it doesnt have and cant flash one with an unlocked bootloader I believe. Please help! Is this a brick/paper weight??

There isn't unofficial bootloader unlock method for A500KL currently.
You have to unlock it with Unlock Device App from ASUS under system.
I can't help because I don't have A500KL, sorry.

unlock device app is an ufficial relase from asus, but it invalide the garancy. And it is an apk file, so unuseful for bootload problems or bootload with flash locked...
so?...what we have 2 do for enable the flashing?

A20e (SM-A202F) stuck in download mode - error validating footer

Hello, i hope someone can help me. My goal was to install lineageos on the A20e. So i unlocked the bootloader succesfully. Then i wanted to install TWRP. I used heimdall for flashing (with: heimdall flash --recovery twrp.img). The process ended without any errors. But since this point the phone stuck in download mode. When i restart the phone (volume down + power) the phone runs rapidly into the download mode. On the top left corner it show an error message (look at the screenshots). I tryed to flash twrp again for two or three times and one times the orange recovery - the results are the same.
I can still reach the phone via heimdall or odin. i have downloades the latest stock rom. So i hope to unbrick the phone - but until now i have no idea how to do. Please tell me, if you know some hints. You can also post if you think its hopeless and there ist no way to unbrick the phone.
Update: I have flashed the stock rom via odin succesfully. now it starts normaly. Do i want to do a next try ;-) ...
Thread can be closed...
Thank U
Jan
