Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE unbricking

I have a Galaxy Tab model SGH-I957D (Telus) that I got from a friend who tried to unlock it to work on any SIM card and managed to totally brick it. It will not turn on (or vibrate) at all but the processer section does get warm indicating it is doing something. When I connect it to the computer it shows up as 24! separate drives (which windows cant mount due to them being a Linux format). If I connect it to a Linux computer 5 of the drives will auto mount. Under windows it shows up as a marshall london composite usb device 9006 and I tired following this guide: http://ift.tt/28WOAdS (see post #84) but when I tried installing the drivers under windows 10 it said they were the wrong ones. I did manage to install the Qualcomm USB Composite Device 9006 by downloading this file: http://ift.tt/28Xvoci but that is as far as I got. Since Linux can see the partitions could I somehow recover them manually with the stock firmware image that is meant to be flashed with odin? I can attach a log file I found on one of the partitions if that would help. You can look at all the steps that I have so far taken in this other forum: http://ift.tt/28WOzXf
