Did you try to power the phone into the download mode or attempt to try and push the recovery again using odin

I don't know what firmware you was on but you may try this

I am afraid if you tried what i sent to you and you not having the firmware you are out of luck . Try to do a hard reset on the phone .

i no their is a way to fix it.

I've honestly never seen this.
If Odin doesn't see your device then Idk if there is a fix. Just send it back to tmobile

Just be aware, as you may know, rooting voids your warranty.

And depending how far the root process got before something went awry, T-mobile may know its been tampered with.
