I flashed it but still the same issue. All i done was reset the recovery to stock.
I am more than willing to run custom roms but i was struggling to find any for this phone.
Please be more specific, did you successfully rooted the phone? Then you deleted apps you didn't need till that point where it wasn't booting anymore?
-----------
If all links take you to the same file you already flashed you cannot expect a different outcome, I would assume from what I saw on Google that options are very limited, like only stock rom is available, you could carefully debloat it by googlin every single app you plan to delete, make absolutely sure it's not needed for core functions, maybe search for apps like titanium backup to freeze them first, then reboot and see if all is fine, otherwise unfreeze it in case of trouble...
Also xposed framework is quite a alternative if you're not on nougat yet (I know it's a beta xposed available for Nougat but I wouldn't recommend it, it's not stable) and root is indeed available for your device..

Im Sorry i should have been clearer. When i flashed the new Firmware using the SP Flash Tool and the stock ROM From the downloads that i could find. It did not solve the issue with the phone actually finishing booting. I still have just a loading circle like before. It Just removed the custom recovery and im still in the same situation as before.

Thanks again for taking time out of your day to help me with my mess up.

OK, if the recovery was replaced it points to a successful flash, are you sure it flashed system & userdata too?
That's really strange...

Don't think about the format & flash option in sp flash tool, it will basically kill the device or more specific the nvram section, resulting in IMEI loss!

Actually no, this looks alright to me... But it's been a while since I owned a mediatek device :)
It flashes thru without errors or complaints?
-----------
In some cases there is a recommended version of sp flash tool, you found any comments of what version others successfully used?

OK GOOD NEWS, ITS WORKING!!
Im not sure what i did but after the 3rd flash and leaving it, it was just like when i got it out the box. I just want to confirm after every flash i did leave it for 10-15 minutes, but this time it just worked :)

So glad this is over! I think ill flash the recovery again and make a back up so if i mess up too bad again i can just restore.
Again everyone who commented I appreciate your help and guidance. I would of threw the dam thing otherwise XD.

Thanks again for all of your help.
If i can help out in anyway with my limited to no knowledge let me know.

Sometimes after flashing, old data is still there. Have you booted to stock recovery and factory reset and wipe cache?

Edit: nevermind, I see you fixed it. Actually, it probably worked the first time, you probably didn't give it enough time to complete the first boot, the first boot can take 30 minutes or more sometimes.

The option that Sam told me, wont work because

Greetings everyone, :)

Well, the title says it all, I have two devices of the same kind, one is working 100% the other got stuck at Android's "No command" screen, so, here we begin:

After some extensive search I figured and found out how to use the working tablet to retrieve the .img files that create the Android OS work, I tried plenty of tools but the one that worked out the best was rkDumper v103, and Oh it was so satisfying to see all those little .img bastards get retrieved, however, here is where it got tricky, the working tablet obviously gets into recovery mode because this is needed to retrieve the files, BUT the crashed tablet doesn't get into recovery mode, the buttons work perfectly, volume +&- and power, yet the USB port is utterly f***ed up, and it is so badly that a recovery using the port is simply impossible, and here is where most of you experienced people will get what the problem is, every method described and available almost everywhere in the net describes how to use ADB, or how to use Flashing tools, even there is a Rk AndroidTool but all of these as you would already have guessed, are useless because, they need a working USB port, so here I am stuck with this problem when I saw there are other options.

There is a UPDATE from external and UPDATE from rkimage, and I know these two are the ones that could solve this problem, however, I have yet to find a way to cram every file I retrieved from the working tablet, mainly because they exceed the 8 GB in total, I know that my only chance to recover the tablet is with the SD choice, but every darn tool that promises to do this like for example SD_Firmware_Tool asks for a firmware, a .img unique file, and I've got like 10 of those, including System, Boot, Recovery, etc etc etc. Can't select a single one of these because it pops an error screen, I assume all my .img files need to be merged but I have no clue on how to do this, somewhere a guy told me to pack everything as a .tar and then change .tar to .img and name it UPDATE, it works partially mainly because only when the memory is 8GB can be recognized by the tablet but it can't hold all the files, a 16Gb SD can't be recognized, it doesn't even mount, and since the file size exceeds 8 GB the attempt failed miserably.

I know I have a solution at hand, but honestly I can't see it, the only thing I know for sure is that any method involving USB connection is not an option.

Would you please help me out?
Well mainly because this wifi adb needs the device to be connected to wifi, and to achieve that Android should be active, operative, and my problem is that I cant pass through the system crash logo with the "No command" message.

Is there another way to activate ADB without USB and Wifi? Please help me to explore the compilation of a system image based on Micro SD.

Google search for:

"USB drivers for Samsung phones"

Download them and install them on PC like any other driver.

Hello again!

So I've done my preparations and everything, but for days now all my firmware download attempts have failed.... Do you maybe know a site that has a more-or-less okay download speed that doesn't require paying? I don't mind waiting for hours, but the downloads always seem to fall through somewhere in the middle.

Try Samfirm or samsung-updates .com

Or do a Google search using the firmware build number of the firmware you found.

How to update firmware?

Not all devices get updates. You need to consult your manufacturer or your mobile carrier to see if your device is getting the update.

Hey guys, noob here:

So I was working with my Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920T which is a T-Mobile model, but I purchased it unlocked (my network and SIM card is AT&T). I was unrooting it when it got stuck in a bootloop, so I had to factory reset and flash T-Mobile firmware on it. Now my phone says I have an invalid SIM card and it's network locked, preventing me from calling/using data/etc. To my knowledge, once a phone's been unlocked it doesn't have to be unlocked again, so I'm not really sure what to do. I'm thinking about flashing AT&T firmware (for the SM-G920A model) but I've read that it could hard-brick my phone. Any advice?

tl;dr: messed up my phone, phone thinks it's a tmobile device but I use at&t so I can't call/use data

It probably locked you back to original. Might have to unlock again. Or maybe call your service provider and see if they can do something from their end.

I have a gt i9060i and am using Debian in chroot on cyanogenmod 13.I installed Aircrack and By Using
airmon-ng
I saw that my Broadcom was recognized as 43430
now To my knowledge it is supports by bcmon on cyanogen but isn't working shows no firmware installed.
Tried Nexmon but all in vain.
How could I set up nexmon or bcmon?
Moreover Nethunter does the same while Kali chroot too.

My problem is that i cant find the update part in the settings??*

Please show me
Usually the OTA option is under settings, about phone..
If this shows nothing visit the manufacturer's homepage or start with a simple Google search to get official confirmation about the update and information on how to apply the update

Sry @Droidriven for ninja'in you :)
