S9 FAIL! (Auth) SECURE CHECK FAIL: system Issue Help - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Some quick background: A few days ago while I was using my S9 plugged in, my device all of a sudden froze. I did a force restart (Volume Down + Power) and from then on my phone would boot up, get to the white 'Samsung' logo then shut down and restart over and over. It never could get past the 'Samsung' logo. I tried a bunch of the solutions in Recovery Mode that I could find on the internet (wipe cache, etc.) and nothing worked so I ended up as a final resort going with the factory reset option. The same issue persisted after factory reset which lead me to this forum and giving Odin a try.
I found the correct firmware for my phone from this site which matched the firmware my device showed in recovery mode. I initially bought the phone through Rogers but switched to Bell and had them unlock it. I followed the instructions from this forum trying both the Bell and Rogers firmware's which gave me a FAIL! My phone read SECURE CHECK FAIL: system. I reset tried using Home CSC and CSC for both firmware's and neither worked. Then I downloaded the patched Odin3 v3.13.1 from here with both firmware's (after reading you may have to use it to patch unlocked phones) and got the same error. I then tried 3.14.1 and the patched version from the same forum, both giving me the exact same error. I then tried running all of the Odin programs as administrator, still the same issue. I also tried various different USB cords and ports, nothing has worked.
My phone is now stuck in Download Mode with an Error message reading 'An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.' but Odin still seems to be working with it so I don't think that is an issue. I tried the Smart Switch software which did not even pickup my phone like the instructions.
Below is my 'Log' from an attempt with the Bell firmware on Odin3 v3.14.1. I have gotten the same error across all Odin versions and with both firmware's. Under the 'Options' tab in Odin, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are selected by default. I tried deselecting one then both, as well as selecting 'Re-Partrition' and still no success

Sorry for the long post. Any solutions or help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. I am new to this so is there something I am doing wrong? Please let me know if you need anymore information
SUMMARY: Phone would not stop rebooting over and over, never making it past the 'Samsung' Logo. Tried everything I could in Recovery Mode including a factory reset. Issue persisted. Tried to flash the firmware via Odin3 v3.13.1, 3.13.1 patched, 3.14.1, 3.14.1 patched, all failed in the same spot (FAIL! Auth SECURE CHECK FAIL: system). Firmware matched what my device showed in Recovery mode. Tried 2 different carriers, one that I am currently using and one that I bought my phone through. Stuck and need help.

[Q] I can't tell if it's a soft brick or hard brick but..

I flashed to Stock with ODIN and it went successful then I downloaded the updated firmware version to flash through ODIN because it wouldn't update through KIES or from itself and half way through, it failed and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
It doesn't work through Kies, it just keeps trying to connect but no connection so I tried to flashing back to the old firmware through ODIN again and everything works successful until this part

I've tried everything but switch to a different computer to try it on, what do you guys think I should do?
How interesting, after hours and hours of stress, all I did was flash stock recovery through ODIN and now it rebooted fine

Major issue trying to root - Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Error

Good afternoon, and thank you for taking your time to read my thread.
I recently attempted to root my phone, and having little to no issue rooting many other devices (including my previous phone, a Galaxy Prevail) I decided I was fed up with the bloatware.
I began the process, but encountered an issue where ODIN failed while attempting to root the device.
I am not 100% sure, but I know this information may very well help me to a solution: I don't think I enabled debug mode in settings.
When attempting to use KIES to restore firmware, I get a "this device is not recognized" error, and even when trying to manually enter S/N and device info, it will not let me use any part of KIES to restore it.
So I then tried to use ODIN to flash stock firmware...
First error I receive is almost immediate:

Please, if you have any advice for me I am begging.. I only was able to upgrade to this device because of a promotion AT&T had to get it for $5 dollars.. I am very income restricted so buying a new device is a crippling idea. If you do by chance suggest I download a new version of ODIN ( I am using 3.07, I find it most stable) or a new stock firmware etc, please provide links as I have attempted many different mirrors (with horrendous download speeds) for different stock recovery firmware.
THANK YOU!!!
I appreciate your time.. All it took was attempting to root the phone another time to restore access... Wow.. I hate myself ._.

Need help recovering SM-T310 8", stuck at boot screen, Odin won't load TWRP onto it

Need help recovering SM-T310 8", stuck at boot screen, Odin won't load TWRP onto it
I've been trying to get this tab back in working order for several hours now - When I first started working on it, all it showed was the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3" screen, going right back to that when I turn it off (not even staying off.) I tried putting it in download mode (Power+Down+Home, it does work) and loading TWRP 3.1.1 with Odin (tried both 3.07 and 3.12.3) and it fails almost immediately after hitting Start, Kies won't recognize it over USB, and when I put in the model and S/N it says it's "not eligible".
Also, I've tried using the stock recovery mode, but the factory reset doesn't help, and it doesn't recognize the format of the only rom I could find for it (that doesn't require a premium membership.) It's a .tar.md5, TWRP is supposed to be able to handle it, but the system recovery doesn't see it at all.

Trying to flash back stock firmware with no success

Hello dear friends
I tried to install TWRP Recovery on my Samsung Galaxy A50 A505fn - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a50-t3916199 following the exact instructions given in the guide above. After I factory reset the phone and enabled the USB Debugging and OEM Unlock options in the Developer Options menu, I used Odin 3.13.3 and loaded the Magisk Patch file onto the AP Field(while in download mode). After restarting the phone it stuck in a bootloop reaching the samsung logo and resetting again saying that the phone is not running samsung software.
After an unsuccessful try to flash the stock firmware(downloaded the right firmware online - Germany) I went back to download mode and selected the option Lock Bootloader and Factory Reset as a last resort.

Download newest firmware and reflash stock.I think you flashed older firmware.
Thanks for the answer muhamet! The problem is I cannot even get to flash this one since odin stucks at recovery.img. however I am past that because odin can no more do anything in the download mode I am stuck in. I am thinking about something using fastboot or adb, but I dont have any experience to get an idea what may do the job

Samsung doesn't have fastboot.You flashed firmware whit old bootloader,because of that you're stuck.Just go to samifirmware and download newest JANUARY firmware and go to download mode.Connect phone to pc press volume up and down same time you will boot to download mode.Then flash firmware.
