can you boot into recovery? if so did you make a nandroid backup?
if you flash a firmware update it could unroot your device......but is worth a try
also next time please flash the TWRP custom recovery and make a nandroid backup before doing anything to your device:
and also bricked is a very misused term. bricked is that.....a device that is as useless as a brick. if you can still flash a firmware update or have a custom recovery, than it is not bricked.......just saying.

i reflashed it using odin and tried to do the same - change release and sdk numbers; after changing release number to 6.0 it restarted and worked normally but it was impossible to install app even for android 4.4 - 'parsing error'; after changing sdk after restart the same happened again, it froze, could not unlock screen; i had to reflash it again. what in build prop should i change to make it possible to install a newer app without reflashing with custom rom?
maybe we need to get a wider view on this. what exactly are you trying to do? are you trying to make an app work on an older device? so this app only works on newer android os, correct? and you are trying to fool the app by changing the build prop and sdk numbers?
huh?
ok your tablet came out in 2012:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110 - Full tablet specifications
there is no "modern browser" that will work on your device.....rooted or non-rooted. your device does not have the operating power to run higher android os. i would look into getting a new device.
