Panic Mode Bricked Tablet - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 I think i broke it.
I tried installing a custom rom but, I didn't have a backup and I deleted everything on the device so I dont have a rom to load.
I have CWM and whenever I reboot it takes me there.
Is there a way to install a rom from the computer? Please I really need help.
I have been trying and searching for 12 hours no help please I don't know where to turn please help.

Copy a ROM installer zip to your external SD card using your computer and a card reader. If you don't have an external SD card either get one, or read up on running the adb push command from terminal on your computer and properly push a ROM installer to the internal SD using said command.

@shakatu is correct. External SD will save the day. You can also try downloading a ROM to your computer then plug your tab into the comp and through cwm you can mount as storage then transfer the ROM to your device and flash it. Aside from adb or just Odin back to stock these are your best and only options.

SDCard not showing up in recovery.

followed the guide to install GB, and when it gets to the point of ut rom on sdcard, flash rom in clockwork: clockwork now says there is no sd, or that it count mount it. the phone can read my sd, inside the os once booted, as can my computer and anything else i plug it into, even my head unit in my car. any ideas?
Format the card on the phone. Then create the partition on the phone in cwm. Shut down completely. Take out the sd card and transfer the files from the computer using a reader. Then try again.

SD Card Partitioning Issue.

I keep getting errors when trying to partition my SD for use with Link2SD. Sometimes the computer won't create the partition, and then when it does, my phone won't mount the SD card in general. I'm getting kind of annoyed, hahah. Help?
Also, my computer's card reader is busted so I have to do it through USB mass storage mode. I'm running Bobzhome's ICS CM9 ROM which I flashed yesterday, and before that I had Harmonia 2.09.

Copy your data to pc.
Format your card and try partitioning through recovery.. simple!
It's been solved. My phone obviously hates CM9, so I went back to CM7 w/harmonia and everything is perfect again.

ROM has nothing to do with your partition problem.
You can still use CM9 without any partition. If you have issues with USB mass storage on CM9.
Install latest USB drivers in pc.. it'il work!!

Maybe the laptop doesn't have drivers or you can try reflashing recovery, anyway you are on laptop so it should have a card reader just put sd in it

[Q] USB won't mount after TWRP wipe of Internal Storage + Android Secure

USB Storage and USB Debugging will not mount to Windows 7 PC or Mac
*I'm posting this thread because I have exhausted every option discussed on the internet*
One day I decided to wipe more than usual using TWRP. I wiped Internal Storage and Android Secure. Ever since then, I have not been able to mount USB to my PC. No PC computer on planet earth will recognize my skyrocket. "Unkown Device" is all I get. Every USB cable, every USB port, every PC, every Mac I have tried. I've tried every driver set, I've tried formatting my PC and reinstalling fresh samsung drivers, I've tried Kies, I've tried formatting my SD storage, I've fixed permissions and wiped everything known to Android. Odin will not detect the phone without working windows drivers and neither will SuperOneClick. I'm out of cards. Game over. Every other function of the device works just fine, and I've gotten by using my 64GB external SD card as a means to transfer files between PC and phone. Come to think, this all started when I put that 64gb SD card in my phone and tried to format it and everything else in TWRP. External SD card works, but nothing will mount.
Before I explore the final possibility that the USB plug on my phone is physically damaged, I'd like to know if anyone out there has had any problems with USB mounting as a result of TWRP wiping and/or External SD Card installation/formatting causing things to go awry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will donate to anyone helps me solve the issue, as I need to be able to sell this phone with a clear conscience.
Thanks!
What version of twrp are you using. I saw another post where it wouldn't mount internal with 2.4.0.0. Seems it might be an issue with that version.

It was using 2.2.3 at the time. I feel strongly that this is an issue with formatting the internal SD card via twrp while adding an external SD card to the phone. I believe the system partition responsible for mounting the phone is corrupted. Maybe a re-partition is the solution? If I could somehow restore the system partition files. I am an avid flasher but partitioning is beyond my scope. Maybe someone can point me to a guide about partitioning.

Hey man did you ever resolve this issue? I just erased a bunch of folders on my internal SD and it won't mount anymore. I'm using a Droid4 and, of course, the problem is consistent on both ROM and stock.
I guess for now I'll have to download from my dropbox account.
Cheers
I'm on the Note 2 (N7100) and have the same issue. I formatted internal storage in TWRP. Now USB is not detected on any pc. Any updates?

[Q] USB port broken need external SD backup

Hi Guys,
My USB isn't working properly anymore - as a result it won't charge and I can't connect it to the computer. I have a new s3 and I want to copy the entire image from one device to another.
From what I can gather if I'm able to do CWM backup to an external SD card I can then simply load this back onto my device.
My trouble is I can't seem to preform a full back up onto the external SD card from CWM recovery menu - any ideas would be appreciated!
what error are you getting while making a backup from cwm ?
