Many people here have lost their phones by wrong repartitioning.They should have follow the instructions carefully. Anyways try to get into fastboot or flashmode.without that you can't do anything to recover.and for that rubber band trick is only one hope.I dont want to say this but if you really deleted all the partitions then there is no way to recover without replacing the motherboard
But my phone can detect by my computer as " SOMC Flash Device "
in rubber band trick should i put rubber band when im charging it and then plug it in computer to boot to flash mode ?

Put the rubber band around the device as it will keep pressing the vol down key.then make the flashtool ready on computer by choosing official stock ftf file.when the flashtool asks to connect device. Then connect the cable to computer and leave it as it is and wait for your luck.

thank you , ive tried a lots of manip with/without sim ; sd card ; even battery while coonecting the device ton pc , but nothing happen except , when i try to get into recovery or download mode , after about 10 seconds of pressing the bouttons , its like the phone is detected and the QHSUSB_DLOAD missing driver message appears again !! thats all
ok let's try to find the file of that driver, which rom wr u using ??
don't mean to be a bearer of bad news, but your phone is hard bricked. Meaning no software will get you out of that. The driver you mentioned is the universal, you screwed something up driver. Youll need JTAG repair

if ur still in warranty then the easiest way is to let samsung fix it for u
My point is there there isn't a software solution . Your phone won't boot into anything. that's why software isn't a solution. You need JTag. a usb jig MAY solve it, but that's the only option short of JTag

you can try another way beside jtag without using any software..
1. pull out the battery
2. plug the charger/usb charge on pc/laptop
3. hold the vol. down-menu-power(same thing like you do to get to download menu)
4. while you hold those three buttons put the battery again (make sure that you still hold those three buttons)
5. after you put in the battery, download menu will show up (now you can use odin to install which stock rom you like)

im in the business of unbricking phones. QPST has nothing to do with the phone's operating system. Heimdall needs your phone to be partly functional ( download mode) . Odin, same thing. Have you found any drivers yet? You need drivers to talk to your phone at all.

Dead battery?

I don't think it's the battery imo, but does it display the charging animation when you charge ?
Anyway try to flash the stock firmware and kernel with flashtool, you can find the FTF file easily on the internet.
Tell me if you don't know how to use flashtool, i will provide you some instructions.

a repair man said that a new battery is ruined. so he change to a new battery but it doesn't start again and he says that it most be flashed but he can't flash it!
i myself searching internet and follow up structures (download flashtool,installing drivers,download ftf,....) but now when i press volume down my phone doesn't connect to PC. before it i haven't such a problem, i don't know what i have changed! please help me. my phone doesn't start up anymore and i can't change usb debugging mode or mtp. in device manage has yellow trianlges on some part including MTP USB device,Android device(Sony AFBI interface,sony composite ADB interface,sony fastboot interface),61833 class buss device.

Try volume up+connect phone to PC. If it isn't detected try charging it for 30 minutes and then the same thing. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable and/or different USB port on your PC.

That sounds exactly like the situation I had. Your motherboard is probably fried. Get it to your service center. Especially if you have the warranty.

he just said he heated on the memory chips or something like that .. apparently the flashing problem was my win 10 device . because once the phone show 9008 com on flashing software the flash process went ok on his win 7 device
There's another thing that I would like to add. When the flashing fails and phone becomes dead(seems dead), it is not in a powered off state i.e. it actually is in a dormant state in some occasions. That is, it doesn't respond to any actions performed like plugging to pc, plugging charger e.t.c.
For older phones with a removable battery, we could simply remove the battery and turn the phone off completely before trying to flash again.
But since newer phones like our Vibe P1 doesn't have a removable battery, we need to switch the phone off manually.
There is a method for that given in this link.
