Note 3 Soft Brick - Need help please



Phone: SM-N900T Note 3 T-Mobile

Long story short, I've soft bricked by wife's phone while trying to do a CF autoroot with Odin.
The error i'm receiving is:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

I've tried hooking it up to Kies (Kies Lite) to run the Emeregency Firmware Recovery, but Kies won't recognise the device.
It just sit's there saying connecting.

I've tried using Odin to flash the stock firmware and I get a error after Nand Write.
Stock Firmware i'm trying to Flash: N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_N900TUVUBMI7_HOME.tar

I then came across this method below for using Heimdall to flash a recovery and I can't get past the Libusb -12 error on multiple computers/laptops.

I've tried using Zadig.exe and replacing the MSM8960 Drivers with the libsub-win32 drivers which cause gave an error.

I'm at a loss now as how to proceed, i'm no expert on rooting, but i've rooted my own Note 3 and now my Note 4 with no problem.

Any help would be appreciated in getting this running, as we don't have money to get a new phone for my wife since we just had our first baby and finances are tight.
