[Q] How to flash a ROM without access to internal SD card Tab2 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have in the past install cyanogenmod 10.1 via Clockwork Recovery Mod. I was "playing" around and basically I am stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" (formatting things in Recovery.....I know stupid!)
Most ROMS seem to suggest installing via Clockwork by copying the files over to the SD card, I am a little lost because I cannot even boot to android and Clockwork doesn't seem to allow USB storage (not sure if it was designed to).
I assume I can flash cyanogenmod again using ODIN? If so how would I go about doing this? Download mode is working fine so fingers crossed you guys can help.
Many thanks!!!!!

If download mode is working, why not just download the original rom for your tablet - get back to stock, and start over ? Not sure if your formatting may have changed something - I would feel more comfortable flashing back to stock with ODIN, and starting my rooting / upgrading / flashing from a solid / stock base.
Just my .02 cents
Good luck, and hopefully someone will jump in with a more useful option
Regards,

You can switch your internal and external storage, so your tablet thinks everything on your sd card is your internal storage. This way you should be able to access your internal storage again (unless your phone doesn't even give you the option to select internal storage). You can do this with the Link2SD app. Besides, this way your internal storage has more space too.

SD card doesn't show up in Recovery

Hey guys,
I tried to flash my Eee Pad to official ROM and wiped everything off the tablet and when I tried to flash a ROM from my external SD card, the menu would go into the internal SD card only.
My tablet is stuck on the ASUS logo at the moment and it won't shut off nor will it recognize the external SD card necessary for me to flash a ROM.
What can I do?
In recovery...enable USB mount...plug to CPU...transfer the flashable zip to internal SD...
I'm on ClockworkMod Recovery v.5.5.0.4... I'm not seeing that option anywhere.
It's not under Mounts and Storage? Hmm. I used that recovery for only a minute...so not sure if that option was taken out....
I use Rogue version of the recovery. Its older...but for most of us normal flashers...it works well...it also includes the option to flash from external.
Is there anyway to transfer files from my PC to the tablet?

All fixed now! Used the NVflash and just fixed everything. Whew!

5.5.0.4 only read from internal sd
Well doesn't matter now since I used nvflash to revert back to stock but I'll keep that mind if there is a next time. Thanks.

[Q] Cannot use samsung recovery to install CWM

Hi,
I have a problem with my P6210. I am trying to install CWM on it (it has root access) but whenever I go into the recovery, it cannot find the sdcard with the cwm zip file. I have put it in multiple places in the system to see if the recovery software can find it but fails.
The photo shows the screen I get every time I try -

Anyone please?
It means you either didn't put the zip in the right place (on the root of the SD) or you have a wonky MicroSD card. Happened to me with an off-brand 8gb. Used another 2gb card I had lying around and works fine.
Thanks a million!
I remember this is how i rooted my tab too. I swapped the sd card from my optimus black to my tab and was able to root it like that. Must have forgotten.
Again thanks a lot.
My pleasure. Just got my GT+ (trying to decide if it can replace my GT10.1) and had fun figuring this one out myself. It's a bummer there's no working ICS for this tab (yet); on the GT10 it was night and day from the best custom 3.2 ROM to the first ICS ROM.

[Q] I cannot boot into my ROM (recovery only). How to restore ROM and boot into it?

Hi,
I'm running an Transformer TF101 with Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.8.3.4.
However some time ago I removed the zip file with the ROM from within the SD Card memory space - that of course being actually the internal 16GB of storage and not a MicroSD.
Since I cannot boot into any ROM and I haven't got a zip file with my ROM on my Internal Storage, what do I have to do to install a ROM back onto my transformer. It seems that unless I boot into the ROM itself (which by the looks of things has been wiped) I cannot access the internal memory storage.
Please help. How do I fix this and make it running again?
I have a very similar issue. I can boot to the ROM but there doesn't seem to be a launcher so throws up a load of errors.
Essentially I cannot access any external memory in the ROM or recovery so need the same instructions.
Cheers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012 Follow the instructions in this thread. This will completely wipe your device and bring it back to stock no matter what SBK version of TF you have. You can then also choose to install a custom recovery as well as root it all from right here. Then you can install a custom rom back on. I also recommend using a recovery that uses the internal storage or external as it is much safer. You can always take out the SD, put a rom on it, replace it and boot into recovery. Much easier than using Easy Flash.

[Q] Cannot mount internal SD to do backup

Hello everybody
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113TS. The tablet got bricked on an unsucessful Android update. Before bringing it back to life through a factory reset or a ROM reflash, I'd like to backup some files stored in the internal memory. The problem is that there is no way to mount the internal memory. I tried with three different recoveries (TWRP, clockworkmod and Philz) with no effect. I can see the files in the recovery file manager, but I can't get them out of there. I read a lot of posts on this forum and nothing works.
Any ideas to try?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to mount internal SD as UMS for file recovery?

I'm trying to recover some important photos that were deleted by mistake on a friend's Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8013) that is running JB. I installed the newest TWRP because I saw some others say they were able to mount the internal SD as UMS. If I disable MTP in TWRP the file recovery applications see nothing. Is there another way to go about this? I've seen someone else saying he was able to do it using dd to do a low level backup of the internal SD, but details are scarce. I don't want to load a different ROM since that would probably wipe out everything I am trying to recover.
Thanks for any advice!
