[Q] Possible Soft brick, need help!

Hi Everyone,
I have been going through all i can find in the forums since the 28th of November, but with no clear answers i am now requesting any help with my situation.
I have with me an International N7100 from Singapore that belongs to a friend. He had given it to someone to upgrade the firmware after which the phone does not start and is stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen
Status of the phone :
- Connecting to charger or USB brings the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try Again" with the yellow trianlge and phone on left side and pc on right side logo
- I cannot boot to recovery
- I can boot into download mode
On Odin mode it says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name : GT-N7100
Custom Binary Download : Yes (11counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
The phone is succesfully detected on odin.
Odin History so far:
- I am able to successfully flash CWM / TWRP / MJ5BLPatch/ Philz Touch/ Kasha Malaga and any other recoveries. Odin show success - but after flashing, its back to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message and does not go further. I have also tried skipping the auto reboot and trying to remove the battery and getting into recovery but it just shows ""Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen.
- I have tried flashing 2 pit files - PIT_N7100_16GB_20121102.zip and t03g_0907.pit but both fail with the error message "There is no PIT partition" - This is also why i cannot try the pit+stock rom flashing options i read about on other threads
- I tried Flashing bootloaders from Dr. Ketan's thread both versions fail in ODIN after sboot.bin step. So no success there.

4. I am currently downloading the recovery firmware N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF and also the latest 4.3 firmware to try soon, but i have really bad speeds for download so it will take a while.
I request everyone with any experience/insight to share their Suggestions/Observations
Thank you!

I'm in the same situation described by the OP. Any help?

Hi, have you tried emergency update via kies ? (If that's what its called anyway).
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

-connect your phone to PC
-Open Kies and go to emergency firmware recover and do as per instruction.
thats all.

softbricked phone, trying to restore to 4.4.4 from here. help
tried 3.07. 3.09, 3.10
and different usb

If Odin can't get the partition information from the phone, you'll need to find a pit file for your phone and flash it together with the stock firmware using Odin.

Here's a pit file for the SGH-M919.

Do you still need a pit file? Here is the pit file from my SGH-M919 T-Mobile S4. You are welcome to use it.

[Solved]Can't Install TWRP on A5 2017

I tried following the root guide and the adoptable storage guide on how to install twrp on SM-A520F but TWRP isn't installing. It seems like it works in odin, but when I boot to recovery it's the stock recovery.
Can any help me install TWRP?

Did you enable OEM in your settings?

For future reference: Problem was solved by unchecking "Auto-reboot" in Odin. Had to manually restart the phone after installing twrp.

download other twrp.

Use odin 3.04...

Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)

Try using different USB cables and USB ports. Make sure the ROM being flashed is the same or newer.
