So i somehow managed to wipe the entire device and now have nothing but the TWRP recovery. I cant seem to find a way to get null back on the device to flash it. Cant even get Odin to recognize device not Wondershare. ANyone help me figure out how to mount the device so i can put the null zip back on the sd? Thank you so much in advance.
DISREGARD... Was able to ADB the rom over. Thank you.

Reflash stock and start from scratch.

Hello all and thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I'll try not to post a wall of text.
In a nutshell the problem I'm having is - I cannot see my zip files in the stock recovery console under the sd update section. In fact it's like the sad card isn't seen at all. I've taken a zip of cwm, placed it on an sd card, inserted the card, boot into recovery and no zip file is seen. What I'd like is any and all details (perhaps a short tutorial with links to the right files) on how to do this.
Why? - well here's where it gets funny. Old android phone of mine I thought to be dead suddenly springs to life (sweet). It has a pattern lock which I don't remember (not sweet). Tried using google account, apparently I used a different one than the one I've been using for years... The short of it is I'd like to get my data off it or at least see what's there. I've heard I can flash cwm through the recovery console, then via cwm, flash a pattern lock reset (in theory). So I figured I'd give it a go. I hope I explained this well. Any help you guys can provide will be awesome. Thanks!
More info on the phone - no it's not setup for debugging mode. No I cannot access it via the PC. So adb and Odin are out. Also I know I can factory reset easily - not looking to do that though. Thanks again!
The stock recovery only sees the "Internal" SD card, so anything you put on your actual SD will not be detected by the recovery. Download a file manager from google play store. I don't remember which one I used in particular, but try Root Browser or ES File Manager. Copy the file from your External SD card into the Internal SD and try again. Hope this helps.
But... you say you don't know the password to the phone. I'm not sure what can be done besides factory reset...

I don't think you can flash cwm with stock recovery. If you aren't able to flash via Odin in download mode you are pretty short on options.

You can actually. That's how I did it. When I got this phone the USB to PC connection never worked, only for charging. I was disappointed that I'd be stuck with stock ROM, but I was able to install CWM via Stock Recovery.

Thanks for confirming. Sucks that the OP can't get it onto the internal, then.
If you google "a creative way to bypass pattern lock on android" the first result will show you where I got the idea from. (sorry, would have put a link here but the site won't let me)
that being said, unless the OP there is pulling our legs, it should be completely possible to access the external SD card from stock recovery as that's how he described he did it. now I don't know if stock recovery is the same on all Samsung android devices, but I would assume it likely is, or is at least close.
I'm almost sure if I had another t679 that I could get into, that I could format the card and have it work on the locked one. not sure if it's worth it to me though since at this point I'm mainly pursuing this for personal knowledge and notoriety lol. BTW thanks to all that provided insight thus far. here's to hoping someone has some additional information for me.
Dear All,
I need some help!
I had a weird issue with my tab over the weekend where it would boot to the upgrading dialog, but would only say application 1 of 1, rather than the usual 50+. This would run for hours, so I decided just to reflash the os again without a clean wipe. I imagine this may have been a bad idea. So, I went into CWM and went to flash again, but the tablet crashed just as it started the flashing process, which was bad enough. However, when I went back into CWM, I remembered Nandroid backup and I hoped I had made one! However, rather than hit recover, I selected store (clicked without thinking), which was the cherry on the top of my day of major you-know-whats.
So, the .zip (I think it is v10.1) appears to be corrupt, so I can't flash my original again.
I can't boot the OS to transfer over a new .zip (10.2 would be nice) as I normally would, as I can't start Android at all.
Putting the files on a FAT-formatted USB key isn't recognised by CWM. Trying to mount usb storage gave an error regarding lun path.
So, my questions are:
1) Is there a way to transfer an image onto the internal storage of my tab via CWM, or get it to recognise the USB storage?
2) What are my other options, if 1) isn't possible.
3) If 2) is answered in the negative, have I just made myself a fancy coaster and a good excuse to get a LG G-Pad?
Thanks for your help!
If you can boot to download mode you can use ODIN to flash a rom.

Hi upconvert,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I can get to download mode and I did try to flash a stock ROM from a hotfiles link provided elsewhere on this site last night. However, at NAND Write Start I get three errors on my tablet: WritePartition, DownloadPartition_odin, and Tegra_Nand_Write. I'm not sure what they mean (google didn't reveal any added info). I'm assuming it means the flash storage is either write-protected or can't be found?
I'm going to try and download the ROM again in case it was corrupted somehow. I will retry in the meantime but after I've wiped it again. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Ok, I was able to wipe /data, but it seems to be hanging when trying to wipe /cache. I'd expect it to be finishing in a few seconds, but this is going for minutes.

So, I've not been able to get anywhere with this. I also can't download a new odin tarball after what happened to hotfile. Anyone got any suggestions as to why the nand write errors are happening? Has the storage drive actually died on the tablet?

Have you tried to format your sdcard from CWM?, cuz formatting it might let the nand write errors disappear
I didn't follow everything you said so I don't know if you've tried the adb files push through USB or not
so if computer can recognise your device through adb try this METHOD
Oh and by the way, SAMMobile website has a new mirror website, so now you can download Odin tar files again
Directly Here is the latest FW for P7300 , and if you're more comfortable with dev-host mirror than Here you go (the two files are the same latest release)
and Here is the the latest FW for P7310, I don't have any other mirrors for that
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I can't even get access to CWM anymore. Goes straight to Odin download mode after the Samsung splash screen. Unfortunately, I found another post on XDA that seems to explain my problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532636&page=3
I think the HDD has died completely, as I am getting exactly what that chap was getting. I can't install a PIT file. I couldn't access my sdcard from CWM previously either. Sounds like tablet is a goner. Will post to Samsung and see what they say.
Thanks for your time.

Tab repaired by Samsung
Ok, eventually sent my tab off to Samsung for warranty repair. Received it back and working fine now. Not sure what they did in the end, but got my tab back at least. Thanks for everyone's help.

Someone already posted a nice how to on how to get out of your situation.
Ok so what he just posted i've tried, I did the exact same thing. My phone wouldnt mount in twrp, couldnt get download mode to work, so the easiest and quickest way is to order an otg cable.
Here is my post of me trying to figure this out, finally solved it. Spend the $1.69 with free ship from ebay for otg. format flash drive to fat32 then put your rom and mount the otg.

Hi everyone my phone is the SM-G900A variant. I tried doing the update manually but now i cant go past the splash screen. Recovery and download mode are available. It says I have version KTU84P.G900AUCU2AOA1 in recovery mode. I first tried installing "G900A_OA1_tC4_OTA.zip" through the external storage but i get errors about sideload packages, code 7, and it fails i guess. I hear you can go to best buy for help about this, but i think you guys are a better choice. I don't really want to root so at this point id like to have the phone functioning again, at the original firmware or above. I appreciate any help. By the way the thread I was following to do this was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/help/g900aucu4coi5-file-t3231450/page2

Try to rename this update to "Update" put to EXTERNAL STORAGE and flash through recovery via external storage.
Hey guys,
So my phone was messing up and I decided to do a factory reset, however I ended up doing a DATA wipe (Don't ask how). Any ways, now I have a phone that only has a folder for TWRP. I can still reboot to recovery, but thats about it. Can you guys point out some links on how to install the OS again?
*** Update***
So I've read plenty of threads with this problem. The phone is stuck on boot loop, I can get it to recovery mode but TWRP terminal command or ADB don't work! ALSO I CAN'T get the phone into download mode. I've held the power up button plenty of times while starting up the phone, while connecting to computer still no luck.
Can anyone help getting to download mode? after that i can flash new ROMS!
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
You want a custom or stock.....
If you want stock and you can go to download mode so it is easy
