Guys.....I need help with my samsung tab a6 2016 (sm T285).......After downloading supersu in download mode,using Odin...when download has completed,i pressed home,volume down and power button...after the after the screen that shows the model of the tablet when restarting,it remained blank and couldn't show the normal home screen....i need help pleaseeee...
 
I've got experience with flashing Samsung's but not that particular model so I'm not sure I can help you fully. From experience it's very hard to completely brick a Samsung unless you flashed the wrong firmware for the phone. The blank screen worries me a bit though as if it's a slightly borked flash you should see the Samsung screen in a bootloop. But first thing first can you still boot into download mode to be able to flash again? If you can then chances are you should be alright.Also could you post a link to the guide you used please?
 
Like Shotgun84 mentioned, it does sound like it could be an incorrect ROM issue. When flashing, did Odin show any kind of error message? Keep in mind that ROMs are generally not interchangeable, you need to use a ROM that specifically matches the model I.D. of your particular phone. If you're sure you have the correct ROM, try rebooting into Download Mode again and try flashing again. If can cut-and-paste the Odin message box and post it, it might help reveal what's going on.
 
yes...i can still boot it in download mode.....here is the link to the guide :

The guide looks good for the most parts. Think it's missing a couple of things that a written guide would explain a bit better though. The most important one being where to download what you're flashing. My guess is you've downlowded something for one of the similar but not identical sub variants. Not enough of a miss match to brick it but not similar enough to boot.

Are you sure you weren't supposed to press home, volume UP and power to get into recovery mode to flash the supersu zip?
 
No idea about this but most Samsung's have the whole world version and then the American version. It's possible you've mixed and matched them with the file you downloaded. Although it would've probably hard bricked it if you had but could you please post your model number and link to the files you downloaded :)

Model no. : SM-T285M
Links to the files downloaded:
Supersu- : : http://bit.ly/2HLV7EL
Odin- http://odin-download.com/files/Odin-v...
Plus...I still don't have the TWRP in my tablet,that's why I couldn't install supersu.zip in my tablet
 
You sure you pressed volume UP, power and menu? Sure you didn't press volume DOWN, power and menu like you said in the first post? Not taking the piss but that could be the whole difference ;)
 
So volume down, power and menu before you flash. After it's flashed then menu, volume UP and power to get into the installed recovery mode to flash SuperSU
 
Well there's something wrong with that Super SU link. I just get asked if I want to leave YouTube. I don't even have YouTube open.
 
What's the difference between samsung tab a6 2016 SMT285M and SMT285 ??
I am trying to download the stock firmware for SMT285M but SMT285 shows up while google searching it...

The differences between those I.D. (SM-T285 <<>> SM-T285M) correspond to the different carriers. Again, don't mix-and-match ROMs, they are not interchangeable. Different carriers rely on different cellular networks so internally phones are configured differently to work on their own respective networks.
Try using this site for your SM-T285M:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-T285M&exact=1&r=&v=&rpp=100

For verified, Samsung stock ROMs, use either sammobile or updato. Just doing a search and downloading Samsung stock ROMs from some anonymous site isn't necessary when there more reputable sources.
