US Cellular Galaxy S6 (G920R) No Command Error - Need to install OS - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
First time posting on one of these.
I just bought a phone off a local swap site for a decent price. Dude said there was something funny going on but it worked. His son borrowed it and he couldn't work it properly after but he said it worked alright. I went ahead with it anyway... WELLLLLL, I had to factory reset it via the recovery screen. No big deal.
Then I turned it off and back on....
It said "UPDATING SYSTEM" and then the worst screen ever... "NO COMMAND."
So now I have no idea where to go from here. I know I need a STOCK operating system. It's technically running Nougat 7.0, and what I am guessing is that it was updating and the kid shut it off.
Please help me! I have Odin3 v3.10.7 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 driver installed. I have no idea how to run this stuff!
Thank in advance!

Go to this site: http://updato.com/ and download the latest Firmware for your device. You will get a zip file once the download has completed. Extract the zip file. Open up Odin and select AP. Navigate to the file you extracted from the ZIP file and hit OK. Odin may freeze and say Not Responding, just wait a few minutes and it will come back. Next Put your S6 into Download Mode. Make sure the device is off. Hold Down the Power + Home + Volume Button until you see a Blue Screen, hit volume up button to select Continue. You are now in Download Mode. Plug in your S6 to your PC, if you have the drivers installed correctly Odin should detect it. Once it has hit Start and let it complete and you should be good to go.

Is there anyway to get out of this. It only shows the Samsung Galaxy Tab Logo, I can also get into recovery. I tried to wipe everything to see if it would boot up, but its still stuck on the startup screen. Any help would be much appreciated!!

this is very easy to fix fortunately you have not hard bricked LOL now follow my steps....
step1. download your required firmware package from the development section.
step2. download the odinv1.8 and then unzip and install to desktop
step3. open odin and select PDA and load the unzipped firmware file. (do not touch anything else at all)
step4. power on the device with volume button down and power on (download mode)
step5. plug in to pc via USB 2.0 as this has less chance of failing then press start on odin it will push the firmware on to the device and them reboot
step6. sit back and enjoy lol.
thank me if it helps.

soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus
I have the same problem as described by kaizasoshi on a GT-P6210 (WIFI only model) and can get to download mode. I haven't been able to find a copy of Odin 1.8 to download so I have Odin 4.0.3 - hopefully that'll work. The megaupload link for Odin 1.8 gives you software Odin 1.8.2 which turns out to be some sort of MRI operating software.
I used the link provided in the response for the GT-P6200 model, did a search, and I can't find the firmware file for the P6210 anywhere on the site. I found a file elsewhere on XDA supposedly is the firmware file for my model P6210 and when adding to PDA I get an error "Invalid Image File Type" The file name that I found is named GT-P6210_XAR_P6210UEKL1_P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1\P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5
Does this sound right? Does anyone have any guidance for me (besides stop bricking my Tab)? Thanks
soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus - continued
Well I found a version of Odin 1.8 and it took the tar file without an error message. I started flashing the file to my P6210 and it went well for a couple of minutes (about half a green bar in the first block). Then something went wrong and ODIN started alternating the below messages:
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
And while showing the above, the P6210 screen started alternating between a black screen and the below message:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I watched this continue for over an hour in this loop (no progress on the green bar), then disconnected and reconnected the P6210. I launched Kies and tried troubleshooting but just got the alternating screen again on the P6210 and starts and stops of Kies troubleshooting. It looks like it's pretty hosed. Any suggestions?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
As an aside, the only thing I've done to the tablet was do a one step root about 3 months ago and I think two product updates afterwards (reapplied the root after each). The tablet ran OK but I started getting the auto shutdowns other have gotten, along with several instances of a warm battery and high battery rates of consumption. It didn't behave this way all the time. Finally two days ago, while on the charge,r I found it locked into the Tab startup screen. I could get it to boot into recovery but kept getting lots of red error messages, like it was looking for files that weren't there, then I'd reboot and it would go back to the locked startup screen.
Can you get into recovery by holding up and power on (release power after it boots, but hold volume up)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
Yes I can get to recovery now. Since my previous post, I recharged unit overnight and attempted to reflash OS. This time, Odin runs all the way until the first green box says PASS! Odin Message box says <OSM> All threads completed (succeed 1/failed 0). Then message box cycles thru ID 0/004 Removed ID 0/005 added!! then ID 0/005 Removed!!, then ID 0/005 Added!!
At this point Odin doesn't do anything else. The P6210 then starts giving a bunch of failed messages - failed to mount cache(no such file or directory), Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, then goes into Manual Mode then message failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory) install application for customer: Can't mount /efs copy application failed. Then meesage Applying multi CSC then failed to mount /efs, then multi_csc can't mount/efs
Then multi-csc applied failed.then more messages on failing to mount cache can't mount cache recovery log/last log
Then at this point the top of the screen offers rebot/apply update from sd/wipe data-factory reset/wipe cache partition. Through all of this I have not unplugged the P6210 from the PC.
I select reboot system now and press power button (still connected)
Get a bunch more messages about cant open cache recovery log. Then it goes to the Samsung Galaxy tab screen and just hangs.
It seems there's some files missing that is causing the unit to hang.
added/removed sounds like could be faulty wire connection.
which firmware are you trying to flash may we ask?
May be useful to find a .pit file with stock firmware, if there are any around for your device.

I've also tried changing the usb/samsung cable from aftermarket to OEM and changing USB port used on PC. Reflashed PDA file, No change. The reflash appears to complete but is followed by the error messages identified previously. The file I'm attempting to flash w/Odin 1.85 is named P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5. The file is 894.011 MB. I've downloaded it twice and no difference in flash result. I'm not having any luck finding a PIT file for the P6210.
Still looking for PIT file.

May I ask what you did to soft brick? Be good learning experience for everyone. Thanks.
soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus - continued
I've also found these 3 other files associated with the P6210. They are:
GT-P6210-MULTI-CSC-OXEKK1_RST.tar.md5
P6210_APBOOT_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
P6210_CODE_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship_16G.tar.md5
Would loading these files via Odin possibly help with my problem? I'm not sure which files would be loaded for the different parameters (PIT, BOOTLOADER, etc). It appears the CSC file would be loaded for CSC.
PS: I don't know what happened with kaizasoshi as far as how his TAB problem initiated, but mine had been experiencing SOD, auto shutdowns and warm battery when plugged into charger over night for the previous several weeks. I picked it up one morning off the charger and the P6210 was frozen on the startup screen and wouldn't finish boot or shut down. It would go into recovery using the power and volume switches.
hi all, i have the same similar problem as TS but mine's a P6200 tab, heard that i need a pit file & the firmware ver(singapore) to flash it...
where do i get those files including odin? i got the firmware via sammobile.com, but no idea to get the pit & odin files,... will any kind souls direct me to them?
I found a PIT file a few days ago, supposedly for the P6200 using Google. I don't know if it works or not. I have a P6210, so I don't think I can use a P6200 PIT.
PIT Link:

ODIN Link:
http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_Odin#Samsung_Odin3_download_links
Pick a version. 1.81 and 1.85 seem popular.
any new updates on this? im having the exact same problem and have tried all the previously mentioned files through Odin with no positive results. any help would be appreciated. i have a US version 6210
yeah.. dont flash a tab plus firmware unless you're sure its for your specific model
either T869-Tmobile/WifiGT-P6210/or G version GT-P6200. If youve flashed the previously mention files, you've probably done some serious damage.
Best option now: Find a device specific firmware WITH a .pit file, flash with Odin/Heimdall with fngers crossed.
Other options: tell them you hooked it up to iTunes to sync your media.. lololol
hope you get warrantied..

[Q] Need Help!! Vibrant Stuck on phone-!-pc!!

Hi this is my very first post! I am new to android all together and i was doing pretty well till now. I have a vibrant that i flashed using odin with ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_Vibrant. I was successful but i didnt like the rom cuz its still very buggy. So I put my phone in download mode and prepared to flash back to 2.3.6 heres where things got messed up, i forgot to end all kies processes so odin got stuck on "set partition" i ended the processes, closed odin and unplugged usb. i opened odin plugged in usb but now my computer doesnt recognize my vibrant!! i restarted my phone and now its stuck on phone--!--computer screen and my computer still doest recognize it! ive tried putting it into download mode countless times with no success. i also try another computer still doesnt recognize it plz help!!!!
Factory reset your phone might work
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Here is a little help I found @ Vibrant Bricked? Maybe not. [E: Can't mount, Solved.] So cheers to him and where he found the info I have no idea so i give him credit for relaying the information.
Here it is:
Recently I bricked my Vibrant pretty seriously, I did a lot of searching and found that many people were experiencing the very same issue but few of them were able to find a solution.
I want to share exactly how I manged to get my phone restored, just in case anyone else finds themselves in the same situation.
*** PLEASE READ FULL POST CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ***
The problem
After an Odin restore I found my phone was caught in a recovery loop and I was continually getting the following error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110 (Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: copy default media content failed
The solution
Eventually I found this bit of info provided by user Windowlicker on the Samsung Galaxy S Forums.
Put your phone to download mode (hold down: volume down, home key, power)
Do not plug in your phone yet.
Start Odin3
Tick "Re-Partition", and also check that "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" have been ticked.
Click "PIT" button and select s1_odin_20100512.pit file.
Now, plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.
Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass".
Plug out your phone, remove the battery, put it back in and put phone to download mode again.
Click "Reset" button in Odin and untick "Re-Partition" box.
Do not select PIT file again. Just leave it empty.
Click "PDA" button and select "CODE" file.
Click "MODEM" button and select "MODEM" file.
Click "CSC" button and select "CSC" file.
Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.
Click "Start" button and wait until phone reboots with the new software version.
(When it comes to the restore step I found that I needed to go back to the Stock 2.1 Vibrant ROM, JI2 & JI6 wouldn't work for me.)
I hope this info helps some folks out, I had completely given up on trying to restore, and I ordered a replacement from T-Mobile. A couple days later I found this solution. Now I'm waiting to receive a phone I no longer need, and will find a nice $20 delivery charge on my next TMO bill. The price of giving up too quickly I guess.
***ADDITIONAL NOTES BASED ON USER FEEDBACK***
I've noticed many people are getting stuck on the 7th step, 'where you are asked to remove the battery and place the phone in download mode'. I cannot stress enough that you need to be extremely patient during this step and should not remove the battery until after Odin indicates pass. This could take as long as 10 to 30 minutes, failure to wait could result in a 'true brick'.
Another step missing from the original instructions is to remove the External SD and SIM cards before starting this process. I'm not completely certain what the technical reason is behind this, but it does seem to help the process along.
Before starting it might also be to good make sure the screen saver and sleep modes on your PC are disabled, as some steps take a while and it might be possible for either of these processes to interrupt it.
Finally, I again want to stress patience. If during any step, things seem like they are taking longer than you think they should, go and make a sandwich, maybe play a game or watch some TV and give it a little while longer. Letting the phone sit too long during a step won't cause any problems, but removing it too soon could cause a brick.

This is how to Root Rogers Samsung Rugby!

Been trying to Root this phone for a couple of days. Finally manged to do it!
Its the Rogers Samsung Galaxy Rugby. The (GT-S5690R) model.
I had to add the (R) in the updater script. Thats how I got it too root.
1. Put the file on your sd-card Universal_GB_ROOT_v5_patched_for_S5690.zip
2. Turn phone off
3. Boot in to Recovery ( press Power, Vol-up, and center button on bottom of phone all at same time. The samsung logo will appear, keep holding all buttons, then the logo will dissapear then re-appear, when it comes back let go of the power button only. The phone should boot into the 3e recovery)
4. use vol keys to navigate through menu, and use center button on the bottom of the phone to select.
5. Select install update from sd card.
6. press on the Universal_GB_ROOT_v5_patched_for_S5690.zip
7. phone should install root, wait till the 'Success' appears, then reboot.
You should find Superuser app when your phone reboots. You are Rooted!!
Now im just trying to figure out how to get a custom recovery!!
Perfect!
This zip file worked perfectly on my Rogers Galaxy Rugby. Many thanks!
Happy to hear

Big problem now though....
So the root went swimmingly, but I got a little too excited removing pre-installed apps. I backed up and removed Samsung Home, and removed and NOT backed up SNS 1.0. The phone will now refuse to boot unless I wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode, but after that it just ends up crashing during the Android wizard start up....
This is a brand new phone, what can I do to restore those apps, and get it back to the way I received it earlier today?!
There is a way to boot into safe mode, head Google mod2extreme and I find the forum for our phones (currently the only one) find advise there
Sent from my GT-S5690R using xda premium
Thanks for the name of that forum! I've found the guide someone posted here: http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?t=12386 and I've decided to try it.
I'm using the first firmware listed in this thread: http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?t=11744 (S5690XXKL1 2.3.6 2011 December S5690OXFKL1) mostly because under Country/Carrier it has nothing, so I'm assuming it's more generic than the others. I'm also keeping in mind this is for the 5690, not the 5690R, so it may not work at all. But, worth a shot since my only other recourse is to break down and cry in front of a Rogers attendant to see if he can give me a new one. "Root? What's root? Like ginger?"
I'm using v.1.83 of Odin3, which is listed as supported the 5690.
Downloaded KIES 2.0 from http://www.samsung.com/my/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP - It gave me two DLL registration (COM) errors during installation on Windows. Uncertain if this will end up screwing me over or not.
Be right back, rebooting now that KIES is installed... will edit this post when there's more to report.
EDIT: Yeah, so I ended up trying both Odin version 1.83 and 1.85, with the Marvell .pit file, and the firmware from that thread. I learned that I had to put the phone into Download Mode, NOT Recovery Mode while trying Odin. Even still, nothing worked. I've given the phone up to Rogers and they will try to replace the original ROM, hopefully they won't notice that I've rooted it and really mucked everything up. They said if it doesn't work they'll send it off to Samsung to get it repaired. Anyone know if they find out I rooted it, I'd have to pay for voiding a warranty or anything?
i have the same device hae you manage to get clockworkmod recovery on it?
Does this method erase all personal data/downloaded apps from phone?
Great it worked perfectly...
did you success in installing different firmware?
Thanks again
Thanks a lot, worked like a charm.
Is there a way I can install Clockwork Mod? Rom manager doesn't recognise the s5690r. It gives me the option of selecting the Epic4G or the GalaxyS i9000. will either of these work?
Also, once I get that figured out, is there any roms compatible with the s5690r? I've scoured the webs with no luck. Not a very popular phone, eh?
Thanks again.

Good Day, I am also working on the Bell Canada Version of the Rugby. It is the GT-s5690m model. I am now stuck in a bootloop and don't know how to fix it. I have played around with the root and unroot zip files that have been floating around but I am certain that the bootloop is due to not being able to clear the Delvik Cache. As you are aware Clockworkmod recovery is not supported on our devices. I am unsure how to get it to work. Until then I just keep trying different things to hopefully get this phone up and working. It is quite a rugged device and would be great with a custom rom and recovery. Could you explain to me in layman's terms how I might create a flashable clockwork image to flash via Odin or even through stock recovery. I would love to get this phone up and working. Thanks in advance
Sasktel Rugby
Hi there. I am working on the Sasktel version of this phone as well. I tried to change the model from R to M because this phone is the same as the bell model version but it would not install it. I found it on the external SD card but it will not run the zip file from the 3e recovery. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks,

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013-Help.Thankyou.Love you.

Hello Fellow Sammies,
I'm Nico and i have a 2 week old (Got it like January 4th 2013) Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 N8013 it came shipped with the latest OS, which is guess is 4.1.1 (i just know it was the latest). i wanted to be cool and decided that i wanted to soup up my note and i was going through alot and needed something to absorb my attention. i was able to root my phone. I installed ODIN onto PC and then flashed Clockwork Mod and SUSuperuser. Everything was fine. then i wanted a mod. I was thinking of getting cyanogenmod but there was no stable ones available, i also tried other mods but they were all failures. but thinking that one of them would work and following directions on one of the forums i installed GAPPS (Google Play). after this i was no longer able to use Google play. but i didn't know how to fix it (and still don't). i used an app (that i can't remember the name of) that changed googly play into a smiley face app but it didn't fix the accessibility i was getting an RH-01 error. I, by the way, am owner of a Samsung Galaxy SII and i have no problems on it, not with wifi or google play accesibility, runs like a breeze but i also have never tried to soup it up so it still has factory settings.
I decided that no matter what i was going to get google play to work becuase there are things that i want from it. i have a wokring gmail address by the way but Google play is just not accepting/not connecting to it and my Internet is honky dorrie. i decide that it has to be something in my internal card that is causing the google play not to work so i begin deleting some stuff, veyr careful to only delete files from games or things that i know wouldn't have any ramifications (not a total noob). Then i wiped all caches, reset factory settings using CWM. YAY? no...no YAY. i restart my Note 10.1 and i get the first samsung screen (the screen where you hold volume up button to boot CWM) and then i hear the samsung start up music...BUT..THERE...IS...NO...SAMSUNG LOGO, no updating applications, no nothing...just a black lit screen. Frownie faces all over the place...sad. please help me. i have no idea what i have done to it. but i needs ma baby. i would be super appreciative. thankyou all sammies beforehand and i hope i made sense.:silly:
ps. i have no problem going back to the boring old factory settings, screw all my information and apps and stuff...erase it all...so don't worry about providing an answer that includes me saving my information because i don't care since there was nothing really on it anyways. i just want it (the note) to work again.
Quick info:
1.) ODIN recognizes the note
2.) i am able to go to Download mode
3.) i am able to Flash things using ODIN
4.) it is charging and keeping charge
5.) i am able to use CWM
6.) Samsung Music but No Samsung Logo upon boot, the black screen just hangs and hangs (kept it on for like an hour with no boot)
Did you make a backup beforehand? Since I didn't see it referenced I'm assuming you didn't. If you are able to flash through Odin then a reflash of the original firmware should fix it just fine.

Way way out there, but beautiful rottie. unhijacking thread now. Sorry
Ok if you can install CWM here is what you should do
Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Advance Settings - Clear Davlink Cache & Fix Permissions
Mounts & Storage - Format all except your external SD card
Also what is the source of the firmware make sure it is stock firmware
Then using ODIN try installing the firmware should work if not then god bless you
Thanks all
Thank you all so very very much. i am going to try all of these things, and re post if it works...seems to be a common problem...alright well not particularly common but it happens . Again thank you.

Happy Birthday To Me
IT WORKED!!
So what i will do is give people my process in numerical form because i know there are people that are running ragged with the same problem, mind you with MY problem, my Note wasn't bricked but it seemed that i messed up with some data files which was causing me to not get past the logo start up screen. I would see the first Samsung logo and then when it was time for the blue swirl Samsung logo to show all i got was the music and a continuing black screen, not a "shut-off" black screen but a "sorry, try again later" black screen.

HOW TO FIX A STUCK BOOT SCREEN ON GALAXY NOTE 10.1 N8013 4.1.2
1.) Download ODIN (just google it)
2.) FLASH ClockworkMOD (CWM) using ODIN to Device (just google it)
A.) Before pressing "START" Uncheck all options ( Auto-reboot, F-reset (re-partition should already be unchecked etc) Just hold the power button device to reset, it will reset on it's own upon start up
4.) Download Firmware Hotfile Linked By the Beautiful Samir who commented on this thread (just search for him). Make sure that fireware is designated for your particular device. No Samsung SIII firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
A.) Use the "Save to" Option not the "Open With" option...It's just better
5.) Enter Recovery Mode (CWM Mode) on device using the Power + Volume UP key
6.) Factory Reset Wipe
7.) Wipe Cache
8.) Advance Settings - Clear Davlink Cache & Fix Permissions
9.) Mounts & Storage - Format all except your external SD card (be careful and watch what your doing don;t want to delete anything else by mistake..cause you will be really..cough..upset)
A.) be forewarned that after these wipes you won't be able to get past the first Samsung logo screen, it will just remain there on the screen but have no fear it should be fixed when you download the Firmware. KAY. breathe easy.
B.) i mention this because my problem was that i was getting past the first Samsung logo but not past the second one, in the sense that it wasn't even appearing on the screen.
10.) Make sure that your USB drivers for Samsung are working, you can get the driver from Samsung site (Google it) or use KIES (Google it)
A.) if you use KIES i advise you to download it, get the Samsung USB drivers from it, then go to control panel on your desktop and Uninstall it, you can download it again later when your Note is working again but it seems to cause problems with ODIN, better safe than sorry i always say
11.) The Firmware can be a particularly long download, but once it is done and you have extracted it to a folder using WINRAR (remember the name of this folder) make sure that it is saved to your computer then shutdown and restart your computer
12.) Now with your newly restarted computer.........
1.) Open ODIN
2.) Put Samsung Note 10.1 into "Download Mode"
3.) Connect your Note to Computer using USB, it should make the ID:COM turn yellow
4.) Uncheck auto-reboot, F-reset etc
5.) go to PDA and look for the folder that you placed your firmware in :KIES_Blaahblaahblahh_blaah
6.) Press START
7.) you should see a download begin both on device and within ODIN....PASSSSSS (Green Box)
8.) Reset Computer Manually by pressing the power button
9.) turn back on Galaxy Note 10.1 and you should be all set
a.) don't be scared after you turn on your note and you get the Samsung logo and then the little android robot downloading some stuff (that is supposed to happen)
I want to say a Heartfelt Thank you to Samir and all the Developers as well as the Non-samir non-developers that helped me with their knowledge. thank you. thank you. thank you. Electronic Angels you all are. I'll try to be careful this time :victory:
I hope I was helpful with my breakdown of my process, because through my Google searches i wasn't able to find someone who had what i needed and i hope that i provided that to whatever hapless being about to have a bit of psychotic break at their black hanging screen. I'll be going on a long, internet-less vacation , So i won't really be able to respond to anyone after the 22 of January. but i'll get back to ya when i return. peace. love.harmony.:highfive:

Did you make a backup beforehand? Since I didn't see it referenced I'm assuming you didn't. If you are able to flash through Odin then a reflash of the original firmware should fix it just fine.

Glad it's fixed for ya . never flash without first knowledge of method back
Good luck
This worked for me
I couldn't get CWM to work either...I re-flashed the Stock rom, then went into regular Andriod Recovery. I then did a Data Wipe/Factory reset and wiped cache partition. Twice just to be sure..rebooted and it worked

A lot of people seem to have had success on fixing their Android devices on this thread so maybe somebody here would be able to help me.
I have Galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010. The problem started when I was trying to download a custom rom on my rooted device. I could not get into the cwm recovery mode by pressing power button + volume up button which I had flashed using Odin. I went into SuperSu and an option came up to put the device into recovery mode. I selected the option and from then on the device went into a constant boot loop. The Samsung logo would show up and then disappear and so on in a cycle.
I decided to flash a stock rom (which I downloaded from Sammobile) thinking the problem would go away. It resulted in the device being stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note logo. I have reflashed a different stock rom (one for France this time, as the previous one was for the UK) and the device is still stuck on the galaxy logo.
People seem to solve it by going into the recovery mode, but my device, Galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010, cannot seem to do that. It can only go into the download mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@Aniconico I can not find the firmware hotfile link you mentioned above I see the post by samir_a but I do not see a link or anything. Please help

[Q] Please help me!

Good evening all.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7 inch model, The other day I rooted my device and everything was working fine. A few days ago I left my device over a friends house and when I went to go pick it up, I load the Tab 4 up, I am stuck on the Samsung logo. I do have twerp installed and able to get in recovery mode, I try to just reset it to factory reset and I get a error says failed because storage and data can not be mounted. My question is where can I get the factory reset rom so I can flash my device back to factory restore?
If anyone can help me it would be deeply apprecicated..

You can find any stock touchwiz on sammobile(.com) (can't post link, not on the forum for long enough!) (take the one for your device, beware that there are multiple models of the same device, so make sure to take the good one) . But you have to flash it with odin in download mode. You will lose everything, root, games, pictures, twrp, etc... (It's actually a really good way to get back your warranty on your device, since it looks like nothing has ever been modified). btw, try saying what your problem is on the title when you do a post, more people will answer you.
Tell me if it worked and if you do not know how to flash stock touchwiz to your device, tell me
If it helped you, don't forget to thank me!

Go to setting---> about phone, and try to find your model number (I do not have access to my phone right now, so I can't tell you where it is exactly). then take the one on sammobile that has the same model number.

The problem is I can't get into my android because it is stuck on the samsung logo. The only thing I can do is enter either twerp recovery mode or download mode. other than that I cant get go in my settings because I cant access my android operating system.

Oh that's true... If you have a removable batterie, try checking if it's not written on it/under it.
