[Q] GT-P3100 boot loop, no recovery, I need information about this.

I am probably facing a very common issue, please clear my doubts regarding the issue. I have flashed my tab with cm10.2 and used it for about a year, then switched to cm11 nightly. 2 months ago i flashed TWRP and unofficial cm12 and my tab became weird. Boot loops, over heating were the symptoms. I did a wipe switched back to cm11. It was fine for few hours and then all apps and process started failing, my tab went into 3 min boot loops. It would over heat and go on and on until the battery gives out. I thought I can fix it, but the recovery was gone. When I go into recovery mode it just stays on Samsung Logo. I can access download mode, so I tried to flash cwm recovery, odin prompted PASS but the 'Custom Binary Count' stayed 2, I tried with TWRP, same, odin says PASS but counter stays the same. I searched for similar issues here, and found that the cause might be emmc bug. So my tab is in a read-only state. To verify that I tried creating folders in the 3 min boot loop sessions, it was gone at next restart. Being convinced that my tab is dead or the read-only state made it an invincible brick I deleted the system folder. It crashed, but when I restarted everything was normal.

So is it emmc related issue? Since my tab is in read-only state all apps are crashing, I tried installing new apps and it never succeeds, there are no JTAG services nearby, also I need to be sure if it's the superbrick bug or a hardware fault. Please provide me some clarification. I can try experimenting with it as I have recovered my data. If it can be fixed then it would help other tab owners as well. Any ideas, clarifications or instructions are much appreciated.

Thanks

Note : It all started after I flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-p3100.img and unofficial cm12 by Android-Andi. I flashed the rom knowing the risks and Bricking my tab is my fault not the rom-builder's.
