Sorry to tell you but you're screwed. The modem you flashed is not for the i957. Never flash anything that's not specific to your device. If you're still under warranty Samsung might repair it for free. Flashing the rom has voided the warranty, otherwise, they can repair it at a cost. Those are your options. You can't fix it yourself.

Edit: does odin recognize the device?

You can get the stock firmware at sammobile.com. you have to register but it's free.

OK to get your firmware visit sammobile.com make sure you get the correct version of your i957 tablet
Here's the link for heimdall instructions

I'll look for the pit file unless someone has solved it already

i have the stock firmware but when i use heimdall , they say : firmware.xml is missing from the package , and i need them and i don¡t know where can i find them

 

[jd1639]

The download its a zip file. You probably have to extract the .tar.md5 file out of it. Use 7-zip to do that. I know you have to do that if you are using odin. Not sure with the way you ate doing it.

here's a pit file I used on my i957 once. Don't know where I got it http://d-h.st/1O7

I've only seen the tar file and a dll file when I've extracted. The dll is useless as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure about that I'll have to look into it but guides I have seen don't say that I hope you get it figured out I never used the actual program just the command line if you use zadig in heimdall and install all your drivers maybe you can use Odin

Of you can't get odin to recognize the tab I think you're pretty much out of luck. You can Google jtag and see if someone can do that service on your tab.

First of all, dude, you're the first person I've ever seen that's managed to brick a Galaxy...
Try bringing it back to AT&T and see what they say. If you're really lucky that day, they'll give you a new one or they'll repair the one you've got right now.

Second of all, threads like these belong in the general and Q&A forums

also open the drivers folder and install your device drivers with zadig because heimdall uses libusb because odin wont always recognize your device

ok my steps as i successfully restored my phone
1 plug the device in the download mode
2 open drivers folder from heimdall flash and run zadig and install the samsung usb driver even if its installed install anyway with the warning
3 Windows should detect the device exactly the same except as a lib usb
4 extract the .tar file you got from the zip
5. open heimdall 1.1 select your pit in repartion
6 In (PDA/Code):
FactoryFS=factoryfs.frs
Kernel(zImage)=zImage
Param.lfs=param.lfs
Primary Bootloader=boot.bin
Secondary Bootloader=sbl.bin
7. In CSC:
Cache=cache.rfs
Database Data=dbdata.rfs or just (data.rfs)
8.In Other:
Modem=modem.bin
Recovery=recovery.bin
9. hit start if you get error device dont forget to use zadig to install the driver
