SM-T230NU stuck on yellow triangle



Hi, folks - my first post on XDA, and boy do I need help.

Short version, it seems like my Tab4 7'' might be bricked - I've got a "Firmware update encountered an issue" yellow triangle when I tried rooting it and Odin decided to crash three seconds in and can't get past it. The tablet isn't recognized in device manager anymore, with a "A request for the USB device descriptor failed." and KIES keeps trying to connect to it, but without effect.

Digging around online gave me contradictory, vague and often out-of-date results - most of them recommend using Odin to reflash it with a stock image {which I may or may not have}, but when I try to, it waits at SetupConnection.

Any ideas? I have a replacement plan for it, but I'd rather not cash it in unless I have to.
