So I royally messed up and erased everything including my internal storage and now I can't get a zip onto the phone to flash it. It is currently without a rom or anything. I cant get the internal storage to mount in twrp properly to transfer it over from my pc, and one of the drivers says it won't download. I just need an odin flashable rom or the drivers to make the copy process work in twrp. I dont care if it unroots it I just want a phone again.

HELP!
I tried loading some ROMs on my Samsung Captivate and after a couple of successful attemps ( i just didnt like the look of them ) i tired another one and it didn't work. My phone would no longer fully boot. And after me screwing around for a while, everything on the internal sd card got erased and i no longer have any ROMs there to install. And now the phone wont startup and i cant see it on the computer.
Is there anyway I can install a ROM from either my ex sd card, or my computer and is there a way to put the ROM onto the phone.
Well since you wiped your SD card, your. update. zip for clockwork recovery is gone. So you wont be able to just go into recovery now and mount your SD card to add a new rom from pc or re-install one saved. If only you wouldn't have wiped the SD. Easiest way i can think of would be just go in downloadmode and flash back to stock, depending on your revisiion ( mine is 1008) I'd use the A10 toolbox/ captivate toolbox. It has everything you'll need. So.. stock, re-root ( either superoneclickroot or A10 toolbox ) get rom manager, flash clockwork, go into stock recov. And re install packages twice, put a rom. On your phone , back to recovery, install zip from SD.

Try putting it into download mode (I forgot how to do it so google it). And then once your in download mode, download the original firmware onto your computer, and then use Odin to flash back to stock . This process has worked with my old Vibrant time and time again.
Okay so I sold my HOX running AOKP to a guy on Clist. He tried to flash a stock rom.. and somehow in the process wiped his whole system and sd card. Over the phone I figured out he soft bricked it and its stuck in a bootloop.
Went thru the steps over the phone with him to get into recovery(TWRP), and he confirmed that TWRP is there. Of course he didnt do a nandroid or anything of that sort, so he cant revert to that. There's no ZIPs on the phone, when he goes to INSTALL on twrp, it just shows "twrp" folder and thats it.
I haven't had the phone in my hands yet, but will see it tomorrow. My question is:
How do I transfer a Zip file onto the phone to flash thru TWRP? Does TWRP have a USB mass storage mode? (I have an S3 now and that's not available on my TWRP)
Can I use ADB or Fastboot to flash the ZIP as is? Or can I use ADB to transfer a file to the phone?
Yeah twrp has usb storage, you go into Mount then mount usb storage and windows should recognise so long as you have the correct drivers installed.

Maybe I didn't understand the op but, when flashing... You'll have to flash the boot.IMG file from the rom seperately if the phone has the 1.14 Hboot. Then go into recovery and install the .zip file after you wipe the cache/delvik.

You can just mount USB storage and drag the ROM to the sdcard.
If you are on the new hboot (1.14) you will have to flash the boot.img (its inside the rom zip) first (from fastboot). then flash the ROM from recovery.
I believe I have bricked my phone. I was running a rooted HTC One X AT&T with an odex Jellybean/HTC Sense 4+ ROM. I wanted to test out a Cyanogenmod. Big mistake. I tried to flash it from TWRP recovery, after backing up my previous ROM, however, it was stuck in an endless boot loop. I took advice from some people online and reflashed it/ wiped caches/dalvik cache etc... When I realized it would not work unless I fastbooted it myself using USB debugging I tried to reinstall the old ROM, of course, after wiping the Cyanogenmod. Long story short there was no backup even though I backed up the phone! I now have no ROM and everything on my system is gone! My SD card folder only has a TWRP recovery and I can't install any .zip files. TWRP isn't even allowing me to mount my SD card so putting any files are out of the question. I believe, however, that usb debugging was on the whole time (is it on if on the boot loader it says fastboot usb when I plug in a USB?). Is there anyway to fix this?? I'm really screwed if I can't and please don't direct me to another thread because I need personalized help. I'm doing this on a mac by the way so anyone who knows how to use the terminal would help a lot. I can get access to windows though if needed. Just please help.
Have you tried to flash the boot.img from the zip file in fastboot?
Do you know what a brick is? When your phone does NOTHING... Similar to a brick.
What happened to you is you didn't flash the boot.img through fastboot, which caused your first problem, the bootloop..
Second thing you did incorrect was perform a factory reset in boot loader... Which completely wipes your SD card and corrupts it, and which just so happened to contain your backup no worries, easily fixable...
Download a rom on your computer. While its downloading, enter recovery and choose mount. Navigate to my computer and right click the removable storage option. Choose format. Once its done, drag rom onto phone.. Flash rom in twrp.
Extract rom on your computer, grab the boot.img and flash with fastboot.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot phone and profit
EDIT: sorry but I hastily skimmed through your post... Those are half-assed instructions for windows, I have no clue what to do on a mac

Wow this thing sucks! I'm really appreciating my Samsung with Odin right now! So, I have years of experience rooting and flashing Samsung phones with minimal adb experience. My buddy from work asks me if I can try to fix his shield tab that he F'd up trying to flash a rom on. Come to find out he never unlocked the bootloader or flashed a recovery or rooted the dang thing, just tried to flash the rom over stock like a numbskull. We thought it was dead forever because the only thing that would mount or connect in adb was the side load through the stock recovery. So, I finally got it to connect to fastboot (don't ask me how, I don't know), unlocked the bootloader, and flashed twrp. Now it won't flash supersu in adb sideload, so I put it on an SD card (which now magically mounts and works now) and flashed the zip in recovery but it says at the very end of the process while trying to update the partitions that it can't mount the data and system partitions so I'm not sure if I'm actually getting root or not and if so if it's permanent even though it says "success" at the top after flashing. I have no way to tell. I think this is because they have been accidentally wiped. Do you think it is safe to try to flash a rom in recovery from external sd card? And if so, which one? I have no idea which version bootloader, kernel, or os is, or was, on this device, I'm not familiar with any of the roms for it, and I'm not sure what prerequisites there may be for some of them....
Thanks for the help!

I had the same Problem with the partitions you discribed, have tried wipe them, change the file format and change it back?
I flashed a lot of Roms from the external SD Card and it worked every time.
I think you should go with Bliss Rom. ( Just try Lollipop and Marshmallow)

I can't wipe them because they won't mount. It's as if the partitions were erased completely. Not like the partitions were wiped, but like they don't exist at all anymore...
What do you mean by changing the file format? Format of what?

TWRP, wipe ,Advanced wipe
If that doesn't work just try installing a rom, boot it
If that doesn't work try this
Tried all recovery options and tried flashing bliss 6.2 with no luck. It says that it flashes successfully but also shows some errors about not being able to mount the system and data partitions. Then when I try to reboot it gets stuck at the nvidia logo (this is the closest that I've gotten to booting a rom). I can provide pictures if you want. I'm going to try the steps that you linked to as soon as the files download.
So here's the thing. I have a Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915T (UVU1ANK3) I wanted to root it and am stuck in a state I cannot seem to get out of after searching all over the internet for. I got TWRP on the phone but that's about it, the interesting thing that I challenge anyone to help fix is how to get SuperSU on the internal SD from my computer since I cant get the phone to go past the Note Edge startup screen (I'll come back to this) and when I plug the phone into the computer it won't recognize it to pull up the storage. The other problem is in TWRP, it says there is no OS installed so I cannot do anything on the phone at all other than TWRP and the flashing screen. When I try to install ROM's I get an error code of fused 2> binary 1 not sure what all that stuff means.
In Summary:
1. No OS installed
2. SuperSU unable to put in internal SD
3. Fail to flash ROM's to phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Have you tried flashing via adb? And tell me whats the version of yor twrp btw. You might need to switch in cwm recovery though as that one worked for me in my gsmart phone

Okay I'll start from the important to the less.
1/3.No OS installed:
Make sure you are using the latest and the correct twrp for your device (TWRP 3.1.0) through odin
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4092902
Or twrp recovery -or any other custom rom-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4092901
And you can try installing a custom ROM through it
P.S you can't flash official tar or tar.md5 files through twrp
Or get into download mode and flash official frimware with odin
2. Rooting:You got 3 options
-moving it after flashing the firmware through odin -or a custom rom-
-puting the SD card in another phone to move the zip file to it
-using card reader to move through pc
works also if you couldn't port the right zip custom
