[Q] Softbricked SMN900V Note 3 [Errors on device/Odin/etc]

As the title states, this a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SMN900VZKE 32GB I picked up today from someone for around 40$. The only caveat is that she said her husband was messing with ROMS and whatnot, and now the device is, what I assume, soft bricked. I picked the device up as a challenge to myself, but I'm at wits end now.
When I go into recovery mode, I get a stack of errors down below that state the following
Code:
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/system' (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
Data reset/factory reset/wipe of cache partition do nothing.
On normal bootup, it hangs at the Samsung Logo, and doesn't move.
Any suggestions? If additional information is needed I'll be happy to accommodate.
Box states that the SW Ver is: N900VVRUBMJE, and when asked what the last flashed rom version was , it was N900VVRUDNK1.
As to whether it was side loaded, or if it was an OTA I'm not sure. I don't even know whether the phone is rooted or not. In download/Odin mode the top of the device reads as follows:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900V
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A4, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLED
UDC START
Take note: I am unable to get anywhere besides Odin/Download Mode and Recovery Mode, I am unable to load up Android at all, KIES (3.0 or older) does not recognize the phone, current Samsung Drivers are installed running Window 8, and am unaware of what the previous owner actually DID to brick the phone.

What's the recovery version? (on top in Recovery Mode)
It should be one of the following: MJE, NC2, NC4, NJ6, or NK1. Check the version, enter Odin/Download Mode & flash full tar of the exact firmware version.

Top of the device reads as follows:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1

Wanted to post an update, thanks to you, hsbadr, the device is now operational! Thank you very much, It is much appreciated. After several days of downloading countless PITS, TARS, acquiring several headaches, and many beers drank, I'ts working beautifully. Again, thank you for your help!

I can't enter Recovery mode, it's always bootloop, after flash custom recovery like TWRP, it's still same, just Downloading mode that I can enter...

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash rom, when you see the reset in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to boot into recovery (power, home, volume up) wipe, and reboot.

Emergency recover / download mode issue

Hey there, im having an issue were i can only get to either download mode or the emergency recovery screen.
What happened was that i was trying to flash the latest firmware XEU-G935FXXU2ERGE-20180808105405 and it failed after some time, i waited a long time, then i removed the cable and turned the phone off with vol down + power buttons.
At next boot up it showed the emergency mode, so i went along and downloaded Smart Switch, problem is the application says it's an unsupported device.
I can go to download mode, but odin fails every time, the settings in download mode are as follows:
SM-G935F
Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FRP Lock: On
Secure Download: Enabled
Warranty Void: 1
AP SwRev: B:2 K:0 S:1
Sometimes Odin gets stuck at "SetupConnection..."
Other times it's the error
"Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1892)"
Any ideas?

Could some mod delete this post? It's amazing, i spent a great part of the night trying to solve this, this morning i created this post, then i went ahead and tried to flash with odin again, only this time i checked re-partition and nand erase, failed again, then i tried again with only nand erase, bam! it worked!
Im very happy now, thanks all anyway.

use last Odin3_v3.13.1

New phone bricked itself after just 2 weeks

So eh, I've posted here in hopes someone might be kind enough to offer me some help.
I received a brand new J3 (2016) for my birthday not even 2 weeks ago. I intended to root so I activated the dev options and the usb debugging but decided to not proceed with the rest of the process and left it at that. A couple of days later the phone simply refused to turn on, responding only to download mode (vol down, home, power) and nothing else. After pressing all the buttons at the same time I was able to access the other menu (vol up, home, power) only to be greeted with a lot of errors ranging from
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
to
E:failed to mount /cache/recovery/last_kmsg (invalid argument)
(I can provide a full list if it's relevant, just know that they are all related to cache and recovery)
Clearing the cache does nothing, as does the hard reset; the errors persist.
I then decided to reinstall the firmware using odin, but after I press start, it goes into recovery then says failed.
Meanwhile, on the phone this is written:
ODIN MODE
SECURE DOWNOAD: ENABLE
MDM DOWNLOAD BLOCK: 0
PRODUCT NAME: SM-J320H
CURRENT BIN: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FRP LOCK: ON
USB Init Start!
USB core reset done!
Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock
If this is because I didn't activated "OEM Unlocking" in dev tools, I'm afraid I can't do that now anymore.
Is is salvageable or I might as well throw it out the window?
Please help me, I am at my wits' end.
