Accidentally deleted rom HELP!!!

Using the Samsung toolkit I rooted my phone but remained stock. I installed rom toolbox and decided I wanted to try changing the system font. I installed it and rebooted the phone but it would not pass the Samsung logo so I decided to just hard reset. Messing around with twrp trying to to reset I hit wipe system and now when I go to reboot it says no os installed! I tried to go around it by installing the rom to the phone through the computer but my computer won't recognize my phone and neither will Odin. I'm stuck and I need help I can't even use my phone because it won't start :crying:

If you were using this tool you should be able to download a new AT&T rom and re-install from scratch.

This should be helpful to you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717

Thanks I'll give it a try

The answer has been given on both this area and Q&A. Please don't post in more than one area. People will help you out. Whatever you do, don't panic. Just remember that as long as you can boot into TWRP and download mode, you are safe because your phone is not bricked beyond repair and there are multiple ways to get a ROM back. No guarantees on your data though (your external SD card should be fine though). Before you start messing around with much more, please read through various threads regarding what you are wanting to do so that you are prepared to do it correctly and you will have some idea of what to do should something go wrong.

did you get yourself straightened out? if you're still having issues with your PC not seeing your phone (and adb feels way over your head) go grab yourself a $10 micro sd card. they're real lifesavers. throw a ROM and gapps on there and you should be all set. you can backup to that sd card once you know you're all set to and you'll have a nandroid for emergencies too.

This is a easy fix. Boot into recovery mode. Mount your storage. Copy a rom from your pc to your phone. Flash away.

Wait its not detecting the phone? Try reinstalling the samsung drivers. You can get them by installing kies.

rom delete and phone wont turning on help me!!!!
hi guys!
yesterday i was updating my firmware or my smart phone INNJOO i1s, from its official site. i had started flashing it with FLASH TOOL it first format the rom then when i was to installed the rom there was error occurred then boomm... Rom crashed then i reboot my device and it was not starting. it was like a dead. its not charging now nor turning on. but when i connect it to computer, computer makes a connectivity sound, and installing and unknown device driver. Why it is happening? plz help me. I want to turn my phone again.

Never heard of flash tool. Do you have the i747 or i747m?

[Q] I need help extremely bad!! Please!

I am a class A bonehead. I had an insane amount of data on my internal sd card and before confirming I had twrp backups (swore I did) I deleted everything(internal, external, you name it). My Sprint GS3 now has no OS and no data whatsoever, I have no back ups and am really up Poop's creek with no paddle. I have downloaded stock rooted md4 rom and thought I'd be okay because I can still go into download mode but Odin 3.07 will not recognize my phone when I connect to usb....this might be because I forgot to check "usb tethering" before this all happened but I'm sure I have been able to connect before the OS was deleted and the drivers are fine. Please tell me there is a fix for this as I'm hoping I'm not the only one to pull this numbskull move!

In twrp, have you tried mounting your sdcard as usb storage to.your computer?

As he said. After that flash a stock rom. That may help =p
and in my opinion, always store your Nandroid backup on your computer.. Your phone isn't the best place if it's the victim.

I once used Undelete for Root Users to save someone's files. But that was awhile ago. Also if you absolutely have to you can use THIS method. It does not require ODIN. It will put you back to Stock, so you will have to Root once again. But you will be up and running.

OP's main problem was that he didn't know of a way to copy files over to the phone. Hopefully, CNexus' solution will work for him.

Thank you. I understood the issue. I offered an alternate solution. In case the first one does not work.
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11

Based on how I read this, he is only able to get to download mode ATM. But... the problem is that his PC will not recognize the device in download mode. My recommendation is that you:
1. Re-install the drivers
2. Use a different USB cable
3. Try the USB cable in a different USB port
From download mode (and after the drivers have been re-installed), connect the device - at which point it will say that it is detecting and installing the drivers that you just installed.
After drivers are finished installing, unplug it again.
Then run ODIN.
Then plug the phone back in.
Then install a factory ROM.
Then re-root with your toolkit.
PROFIT.

Stuck in boot loop with no USB option

I just inherited a t-mobile phone that was rooted. I installed the latest version of TWRP and tried to re-root it but now it's in a boot loop and on top of that I can't connect the phone to a computer b/c I get the "USB Device Not Recognized" message. I've re-installed the drivers and I've tried the toothpick trick. Nothing is working. What are my options?

First, I believe this is the correct section - the phone I am working with is a T-Mobile Galaxy S II... Second, I can't Odin because I don't have a working usb connection. I've tried several different ROMS from this fine section and I get the same result... Boot Loop

If you flashed TWRP 2.6.3, that's your problem.
Flash 2.6.1

This is the wrong section because it has nothing to do with ROM development.
With that being said if you can still boot into twrp you still have hope. Try loading a different ROM into an SD card using a converter and slide back in the phone to properly wipe first then re flash.
I don't understand why you can't get a proper USB connection going but above suggestion may solve it.

You could always get a SD card reader, connect t to ur PC, DL a flashable twrp 2.6.1.0 and flash the recovery, then flash a ROM an u should be back in action, but above mentioned is right this is the wrong forum u need q&a

Just to confirm a few things: where do you not have the working USB connection? in download mode? If so, I'd try reinstalling the drivers.
Also, I see in your sig that you state your phones are:
Asus Nexus 7
Sprint Galaxy Note 2
Neither of which is a SGH-T989. Are you sure you are flashing the correct ROM/Kernel for your device?
also you said it came rooted but you re-rooted it. What process did you use to re-root it?
One last thing: you say you got it second hand, are you sure it is a T-Mobile galaxy S 2? May want to check under the battery for a "T989" or "i9100". The i9100 is NOT a T-Mobile galaxy S 2. It should be SGH-T989 if they didn't give you incorect info about the phone.
You could also try a different USB cable or hub. I've had USB extension cables give me grief and the front ports on my PC don't like my phone.

Thanks for your help. Here are the answers to your questions:
I think there is something wrong with the micro USB input on the phone. I have reinstalled the drivers several times. I have tried different cables and different computers. I even tried the toothpick trick. No luck.
I do have a GN2. The SG2 is for my daughter...
It is a genuine SGH-T989 I checked under the battery.

One more piece of information that might be helpful... When I try to wipe the cache I get this message "Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function" and it stays stuck there. I've left it for over 30 minutes and it doesn't ever move from that screen. Hope that helps... I really need some help here.

If u go to the dev section on this phone and look around a bit, u will find the twrp thread, in that thread is a flashabke copy of 2.6.1.0, if u can't find it pm me, I have a copy, all u would need to do is put the zip file on any micro SD card then put it in the phone and flash it with the twrp u have now, it will revert it back to 2.6.1.0 and that should fix ur prob, but like I said of u can't find it pm me and I'll shoot u a copy

Let it sit on the TeamWin screen for a minute or so... I find it sometimes takes a little bit.
If it doesn't ever get past there, try hooking it up to a PC and see if you can get ADB to load (presuming you have ADB installed and ADB drivers installed). If you can, try to do an "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" and a "adb logcat > logcat.txt" and zip those up and toss them on here.
If you CAN'T get into adb, I would try hooking the phone up to Kies and see if it will do anything for you.
Or you could try following this guide as you have the T-Mobile SGH-T989 (not the Telus SGH-T989D):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
BUT make sure to grab the correct stock image file for whatever version your android currently is (ie if you are on Android 2.3.6, then make sure to get the T-mobile KL1 2.3.6 stock image).
Also, what ROM did you flash? was it a 4.3 ROM? If so, did you update your radio before you flashed the ROM? I think 4.1+ needs the updated radio to function properly.
I know you said you can't connect through ODIN, but I'm hoping it is because of some odd driver or odd ODIN version. That thread has the stuff to make it all work I believe.
I'm really hoping you can get ADB to work. If you can pull a logcat of your bootup process, it will be much easier to figure out what went wrong.

You guys are great!!! I really appreciate all the help. No matter what I do, ADB, Kies, different cables, different computers, nothing gets past the "USB Device Not Recognized" pop up. I let it sit for 15 minutes, twice. Still no love... I loaded TWRP_2.6.1.0_Hercules and then reboot and that's when it got stuck. Prior to that I had loaded TMobileT989UVMC6RootedDeodexed Rom. I forget where I got it. I'm pretty sure it was a 4.1.2 based rom.

weird... I am not sure why it is being so fussy with your phone.
Hopefully somebody has a better suggestion than I do, but my next thought is to try ebay-ing the phone in hopes that somebody gives you a few bucks for it. It sounds to me like the internal memory module is dying and the USB port is shot.
Is your water damage sticker pink/red or missing? It should be under the battery.
I hate thinking that the phone is just dead, but without being able to connect it to the PC in either recovery or download mode and not being able to boot into a ROM or recovery, I think the next step is to scrap it and hope somebody can send you a few bucks... or if you have experience soldering, maybe try replacing the USB connector?
I could be wrong mind you... The only time I had issues like that it was due to a badly flashed recovery and I needed to use ODIN to get back up and running. As a thought, do you have a Windows XP 32-bit computer you could try plugging the phone into? And while the phone is plugged in, can you check device manager for all devices? maybe try installing the drivers manually? I suggest windows XP 32bit because that is what I use the majority of the time with my phone. I've also used Windows 7 64-bit and it worked.

that sucks. I've heard good things about Swappa, but living in Canada I can't use it. My opinion it sounds like you got a dud and based on how hard the guy is fighting to not give you a refund, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew it was doa and just fluked out and get it running before he sold it. Or maybe it got water damaged and he knew it would fail soon so he sold it before it completely quit.
I hope you get it all sorted out.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

[Q] Serious help fast!

ok so heres what happened. forgot my phone was rooted. i tried tmobile ota update. kicked me out into twrp. i messed aroun and bascily now i have no os or anything. i accidentally formatted everything in the phone. its the white 32gb tmobile version if that matters. to make things worse, i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS. no windows. cant even figure out how to get windows on the pc. and no i cant go buy it. noodle budget. i also messed with the fat32 thing and it said unable to make fat32 partition. basicly. its screwed. i need to know what to do about this. i have the lg flash tool, the original .dll and .tot ready to go. but theres the linux thing. everytime i try to connect it to the computer in download mode it said could not mount adroid device or something like that, now it wont even come on for me. i dont know what to do about this. no i couldnt get adb sideload to start, i couldnt mount in download mode, i could get adb to recognise the device but thats about it. i pushed a couple roms to it but nadda. after installing succesfully it just went right back to twrp. i need a video or something that i can slightly understand on how to fix this.

Your best bet is to set up a virtual box and virtualize it. I guess in twrp if you can still get access to it. Is to wipe system and all that fun stuff so it can reformat it to ext4 then try to adb sideload the rom that matches the update as close as possible. The only thing I can think of is that the update messed up partitions so when you flash a rom it can't all fit like it used too.
Sorry if I didnt help I'm just trying my method I had to do when I had my g2

Went into Twrp and did a full wipe and when I went to load my new rom onto the mounted phone (in Twrp) I got the error message in windows saying Cannot copy file "Its file size is larger than the device limit". I did some research and this seems to happen when a file is larger than 4 GB but the file I am trying to load isn't. I have 3 potential roms all around 1.2 GB and all give the same message when trying to put them on my SD card or the internal storage. Anyone know a fix for this. I tried going to the backup I made before trying the new roms and I get a boot loop so my 2 day old phone is partially bricked at the moment. I can still get into TWRP and I still can use Odin but I can't copy and past roms onto the phone. Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

This is still an issue but I found a workaround, a rather obvious one that in my panic I didn't think of. I just used my SD card reader and put the roms I wanted on my SD card then put it back in my phone and installed through twrp. This worked well but now the google play store isn't working for some reason even though I am using a mostly stock rom. I'll look at that roms thread for answers

Extract the file SDfix.apk from this zip,install and run it. It may solve the problem. This problem happens to me everytime I flash a stock rom and this cures it.

Same Problem Here

How do I install SDFix.akp? All I have working is TWRP 2.8. Goal is to install HD Rev 82. Phone has no OS on it right now.

Download and install foldermount from the play store. Then run it and reboot. Should fix your issue.

Extract it... Transfer to your phone... Tap it. You will get a "install" prompt... Install... Find it in the app drawer... Run it... Look carefully for the check box, it's hard to see... Viola... Your good to go... No need to go to the play store...

Thanks, but...

My phone is soft-bricked right now lol. I ended up copying the files via ADB with this helpful video:

This line from cmd line w/ Minimal ADB and Fastboot did the trick:
adb push yourRomNameHere.zip /sdcard/.
