Hope someone out there can save me.
Got a "new" SM-707A, updated to 5.0.2, all good. By pure stupidity I turned on Reactivation Lock, then I proceed to try to flash a new rom.
Odin was falling (obviously, now that I know the lock prevents flashing), I made a couple of reboots to OS, all was still good, then decide to try a different tar file, and things got bad.
The lock DOES NOT prevent a cache.img to be flashed, but it does the rest. Result? I CAN NO LONGER BOOT.
Now that I know all I have to do is to boot and disable the lock, I can't boot. Tablet goes into that message saying to recover by Kies (but Kies does not recognize the tab bricked).
So Tab does not boot, and tab does not allow a ROM to be flashed. But I think the issue was that I flashed the cache.img and somehow the Tab got confused.
So I need either a stock or an empty cache.img, I tried some I found for T705, but none worked (I manage to flash them, but phone still does not boot).
Anyone has the stock firmware 5.0.2 for 707A?
Thank you all for your help .
