how can I put this file on my tab since I am unable to use Odin with? "Go to download mode, then hold power, Home and both volumes for about a minute it should reboot..." of course it gets rebooted but that wired message is all about there.
Please note that my tab is SM-T585
Your situation seems rather unique. You are able to reset but see no results, correct? However, you can try to reset but there's nothing more you can do with that, you have to continue forward and use the device. Hard to explain. Did you know that when in Recovery you can add files to the device? You should be able to have access in recovery via USB, I'd have to confirm that but on all my other devices I do. Even if you have the T585 all the files for the T580 will work for you. There's only one difference of the devise tree and normally it's not relevant to what we're doing. Normally I would suggest starting over which means flashing in the official software. I have 4 issues I'm working on, yours is one of To help, I'd like to know "all" symptoms you're having. Or do they fit the ones I have listed.
1. Startup goes to bootloop. One version displays Custom binary blocked by frp lock on the Logo Screen.
2. Download Mode is accessible, but not usable. Not accepting of official stock firmware. Also Custom binary blocked by frp lock shown here in another version.
3. Recovery mode inaccessable. Redirects to a screen similar to Download Mode. In upper left, Custom binary blocked by frp lock is displayed. (This one was my device. I solved issue by flashing "Binary 4 FRP Unlock" via Odin. Others could not solve issue).
4. Same symptoms as 1 and 2. However Recovery mode was accessable, usable is in question. Custom binary blocked by frp lock also present.
Anything else you can tell me may be helpful.

Turn off the device, remove all the SD and SIM, open the back cover of the tab (please use plastic materials to open the cover), detach battery cable, release power, if any, from the circuit by holding the power button for a moment, attach the battery cable to its default please, make sure the cable is tightly connected, close the back cover and got to download mode as-business-as usual.
I will add some pictures soon.
Finally, I need to appreciate Strange Peer [

Nice to hear. I though I had mentioned that method here or somewhere. That's a discharge method. Kind of like taking the BIOS battery out of a PC to force reset it. The power button has to be pressed for 10 to 30 seconds for a full discharge. I'll pass this along to another having this difficulty and let's see if it helps. I'll get back to you.
