Samsung Galaxy S4 on T-mobile.

Long story short, I got a fail error when flashing a rom using odin. Phone wouldnt boot so I did a reboot into TWRP and tried to restore from my nandroid backup on my SD card. (This Recovery is the latest update with root and nothing more) However I keep getting stuck at the tmobile 4g lte screen.

I have also tried using odin in download mode to flash a stock rom, but it keeps giving me a fail error (even after a factory reset and wipe)

Any help such as narrowing down what the real issue is or an overall fix would be great. Thanks for the help.
