Alright, well I've come to a problem and I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
The title pretty much says it all, I've completely wiped the operating system off of my phone. There is nothing left, absolutely no data or anything. I was much too hasty and irresponsible, and I fear for the worst. I had previously attempted installing multiple ROMs multiple times using CWM to no avail so I re-rooted and switched over to Team Win. I know before installing a ROM you have to wipe your phone, well... I hit advanced wipe and within that I hit "system", went ahead and wiped. There's nothing left on my phone my phone and there are no ROMs on my SD card. I had backed up my phone before wiping but when I wiped that was also deleted. Before restarting it always warns me "No OS installed on your phone, are you sure you want to reboot?" Of course it's bricked and stays at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" screen. I attempted putting a stock ROM back on my phone through ODIN, but a'las it didn't work (always stops at "SetupConnection"). I have nothing and there is no way for me to get a new ROM on the phone, I obviously cannot connect to my computer unless through download mode because the phone is bricked. So, what do I do? Is there any hope left for me or am I just completely screwed? The phone is less than a month old.
another option is to purchase a micro sd card and place a ROM and gapps (if required) on it, install the card and boot into recovery.
so when you connect your device to your pc, you're getting a yellow com connection in odin? what link did you follow for a stock ROM?
as long as you can still access recovery and download mode, there is hope, buddy.

Yeah, when I connect to the PC I get a yellow com connection in ODIN. I followed what is, perhaps, a sketchy looking link for the stock ROM... It's not letting me post a link because I'm a new member to the board, though I've looked over this place plenty of times in the past. Should I look for something a bit more official and retry? I don't think it's going to work. Will a ROM work, without an OS? I know that may sound silly but everything I've tried so far has failed.
here's a link to the stock firmware with root already injected: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
flash the tar in odin like you have been. make sure the auto reboot box is unticked. if you get a PASS after flashing, unplug the device, pull the battery, replace it and press the recovery button combo. once in recovery, wipe data and wipe cache. reboot.
lemme know if that worked, otherwise throw a ROM on a micro sd card as stated and go that route
btw, a ROM is the OS.
And also, my phone has to be rooted for a ROM to be installed, right? Well there's no guarantee my phone is still rooted since I've wiped literally everything on the phone. I like the idea of a placing it all on an SD card but that could be wasted money and I don't have very much money to spend, especially if a ROM isn't going to replace all of the needed system files which have been deleted.

Have you installed the Samsung drivers?
---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
Can you explain what happened with your phone? How did you "lose everything?" Is it able to boot up into Android? Can you get into recovery (TWRP)? Did you accidentally wipe something you shouldn't have?
I accidentally wiped my OS on my Galaxy S3 AT&T - Please Help!!!
Hello all,
I am a rookie user of smartphones and I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. I accidentally wiped my OS leaving me with no OS. The good news is that I can still use Team Win and boot into recovery. How can I download and install a new OS? I live in a rural area with no place to go to get this fixed; so I would really appreciate any and all help on this matter. Thanks for reading

I successfully rooted and installed twrp on my 10.1> I think I just made a big mistake tho and bricked my device. So i tried to used odin to install the factory firmware but when I load it odin freezes, only does this with the factory .md5 not recover.tar . I tried to format everything but nothing works I still have the twrp interface on my tab but when i turn it on its stuck at the galaxy tab 3 screen

Device doesnt show in com slot
fix
The exact same thing happened to me, the stock firmware file is almost 2 gig, odin isnt freezing, its verifying the file so load it then wait
Zidkijah posted on another thread a copy that I was able to use to un-brick mine. Note that the only problem is that it's a little bit different from the stock version. But so far so good, just need some tweaking.
I uploaded it to a dropbox account so if one doesn't work, you can try the other.

I plan on re-installing clockwork mod, backing it up to my SD card and trying out the Deodexed version that came with the P5210.

One thing though, I don't see one listed for the USA.
I'm sure it's because it was only released in June of 2013 and no official updates available.

I have that file archived too. It has a good feel to it. The keyboard is bigger but looks just like the one of my Note 2, but with the numeric keys on top of the qwerty.

Unfortunately most people think this is their own personal tech support site (it isn't) so sometimes you will get selfish people like this who just come here to solve problem and dont give a sh1t about sharing solutions.
What have you done/tried so far? Have you tried flashing roms? What happened? etc etc. You need to be more detailed if you expect help.

Hi, sorry if I made you upset! I am new to rooting and tried yesterday to root my galaxy s3 and everything went just fine until i restarted it. Immediately after the "samsung galaxy gt-i9305" text it goes to a downloading screen just like that one in download mode but without the text in the upper left corner and does nothing tough it says downloading.
I have tried to:
-factory reset
-take out battery
-take out sim-card
-flash the same rom again
I have NOT tried to:
-Flash a stock rom (couldn´t find one from Finland) Could that help?
Cant think of anything else. I can still enter recovery mode and download mode.
Ps. I know that this isn´t a tech support site but judging from the guides i have seen so far (rooted my phone from a guide on this site) it seems like people here know what they are doing so I thought it would be best to ask here first.
Thanks!
I was referring to the person who created the thread who you quoted, as being selfish, not you What I meant is that he solved his problem but then never bothered to give any details, so people who search for same issue do not get answer in this thread.
Go here and get the required firmware and flash via Odin. There will also be a small guide on flashing the rom.
Thank you for replying!! I couldn´t find a firmware from finland there (I have registered now). Do you think i can use one from denmark (close to Finland)?
Again thank you! +1
Just incase someone is wondering it is working now I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile and flashed it and it worked for me:laugh:
I cannot find any development for the 3G version of the Pro 8.4
I bought one today and the standard bloatful ROM on this thing won't even allow me to use Google services... so it is quite useless.
Please point me in the right direction or tell me when a T-321 ROM or Recovery is going to be available.
Very surprised to see zero development for this which is obviously superior to the WiFi-only version.

Hi! I know 100% how you feel. I got a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and there were 0 roms for it so I ended up creating the first one. I don't have the device which you have but I can create a rom for you (or at least try to). I can't guarantee if it will work or not but we can use trail and error if you are up for it. Let me know if that's cool with you.

awesome! Thanks alot. I do not have programming skills at all but I have been rooting and playing with roms for a few years now. I be more than willing to try any ROM you would be willing to create for my device.
My main problem now is finding the stock ROM since my device is currently stuck in the DOWNLOADING mode in "Cannot boot normally" state.

No worries: I actually am just finishing downloading the stock rom for your device. It's very slow speed from the website. So what I will do is once it finishes downloading I will upload it to google drive and give you the link so you can have a fast download.
As for the rom i'm going to have to do a little bit of research before making it so it will take me a bit. I don't mean to scare you or threaten but if it doesn't work please don't hold me responsible for any damage. Although I don't think anything bad will happen. Worst case scenario I have seen with my tablet is I end up flashing stock again.

Yea, its the Chinese one. That is how I got into this mess...I can access google drive via my VPN service so it should work.
I know the risks involved in playing with custom ROMs.. thanks for the warning though. As long as I have a reliable, non-chinese stock rom it should be fine to test stuff.
thanks so much.

Steps:
Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
Then:
Extract the zip:
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
Here is the link to the firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUUcfwWqMGYdUh1cmo2eUY2NzQ/edit?usp=sharing
Verify after downloading that the file is 1.22GB zipped
Oh...I actually need a non-chinese ROM.. Im sorry I didnt make that clear.
The CHN one probably doesnt have google account functionality. At least, the stock Chinese model I bought today doesnt. Maybe this is different. I will try. Otherwise, I might ask you to download the North American stock for me if it is not too much trouble.
Sorry for the hassle. What I need is to be able to add my google account and sync data/games.
I will sleep now (its 2:30am here). I'll update you in 7 hours or so on my progress. Thanks!

If you flashed with odin you should have gotten to the first time setup. Did you try the second firmware I gave to you?

Thanks so much. PM me your bitcoin address and I will buy you a beer.

This firmware is doing alot of random restarts unfortunately :|
Better than nothing I suppose. I will look around for a fix.
Well I'm glad the firmware worked out for you. I'm going to start working on the custom rom today so hopefully I can get it finished by day after tomorrow. As for the bit coin thing, I'm 14 so no can do.
But if you would like to give me a little something how about a google play credit code?
Edit: just saw the thing about the restart issue. I'll look into it as I have no clue why it would do that on stock.

and if that doesnt works
download your tab's firmware from
sammobile.com
and flash it via odin
