Soft bricked SM-T555 (Galaxy Tab A), have tried everything. Please give advise.



Goodmorning, I got myself in to a stupid problem.

I will sketch situation when it all started:

I had a SM-T555 (Galaxy Tab A) device which was managed by a MDM tool. As I deleted the device from the management console I couldn't use the option reset to factory resettings because the MDM blocked that option, also in the recovery mode I couldn't use the option. MDM did what it was supposed to be doing, atleast that's good. In the past I installed a custom rom on my Galaxy S3 so I thought let's flash a stock ROM on to my device maybe that will help.

So I flashed a ROM with succes via Odin (PDA option) with succes but it didn't solve my problem, being the newbie that I am I selected the option Nand Erase All thinking it would reset all my settings. Well that was atleast true but appearently it also deleted my Partition Information Table. Result: the device was in a soft brick and I couldn't boot it up anymore as it was stuck on the SAMSUNG logo.

After that I tried different forums and searches on the internet, on which I didn't find a lot. After a while I was kinda sure that I needed a PIT file because I tried flashing offical all in one firmware (T555XXU1A0J1_T555PHN1A0J1_PHN) via PDA which didn't solve my problem. After that I did a lot of searched for my PIT file of my device which I couldn't find anywhere.
After a while I found out I could extract a PIT file from the same model so I rooted an other device and extracted the PIT file from it (gave me false hope that I could fix it).

After that I tried to flash the PIT file via Odin 3.10.7 with the official firmware in the PDA option and the PIT file in the PIT section with the following options checked: Auto Reboot, Re-Partition and F. Reset Time, this generated an error on the device itself in RED: SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT and in the odin software:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

After that I tried to flash the firmware via the CSC file which it did succesfully and the log showed me some information about that is calling the PIT file or something from the ROM in the log. I hoped it would boot but it still will not boot!

I can't stand that I can't fix it! Could anyone please help me.
