Recently I was trying to flash a firmware to update from Android Jellybean 4.3 to 5.0.1 lollipop. Ended up soft-bricking my phone.
Here's what I have already tried:
1. Do not tell me to change the USB cable/port, as it worked completely fine to root my phone the day before it got bricked.
2. I downloaded what (I think) is the stock firmware of my phone, and tried to flash it with Odin (3.07, 3.09 and 3.10.6) and a PIT file. (Gave an error without the PIT)
Here's the logs of what happens:

It fails, and nothing happens. Sometimes on the phone's screen, it also shows "SV REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4, Binary : 3" in one of the lines. Not sure what it means.
3. I tried flashing the PIT file without a PDA, and it succeeds, but then it gets stuck in the start-screen boot loop.
4. I cannot go into recovery mode, I've tried it but it didn't work. (Home button + Power + Vol Up.) I can only go into download mode..
Please help me.
Edit: I also reinstalled the drivers on Samsung Kies several times, but it keeps getting stuck on "connecting device" each time I plug it in while on Kies.
