Do you have any back ups saved in CWM? If you do, that would always be the easiest bet.

I checked de checksum and the CM file is ok

What kernel did you flash? You need to be sure the kernel you flash is for gs2.

You probably flashed a bad rom. Simply wipe data from clockworkmod and install a zipped rom from there.

On android to mount a sd is like in Linux? Its mounted in a system folder?
YES ,is called "external_sd" .As for your problem i suggest downloading a stock ROM+original kernell on your PC (KH3 as an example) .Enter downloading mode and flash it thru Odin than use an insecure kernell to root and have CWM back on your device to be able to flash the next ROM from your internal sd (internal memory) and continue experiencing
By the way ,the flashable zipes must be on internal memory for CWM to see tham

[TUTORIAL] How to flash ROM's on Galaxy Tab 2's with dead USB cables.

It happened to me a lot, but yea let's start.
You might have noticed that the Tab 2 cables die quickly, even tho they should be "high quality".
They start only charging the device slowly as never, and the computer can't even recognize the tablet.
So what do you need to reflash the OS?
1. FlashFire from Chainfire (requires root, on Play Store)
2. Any file manager
[STOCK ROMS]
1. Download the rom you want and move it to your SD card using a file manager. I use FX File Manager, it's good luls
2. In FlashFire, add Wipe and select Cache and leave the other on options turned on.
3. Select the ROM. Voila, should work.
[CUSTOM ROMS]
1. Install the TWRP app
2. Make sure your tab is rooted
3. Install TWRP.
4. Get any rom. I used the 7.1.x one from unlegacy-android.
5. Flash it, clear dalvik, cache and data.
6. Voila, done!

Nice guide, I already did that before

Since you still have the recovery just place a rom in a sdcard and install it with the recovery.

In the cyanogenmod recovery there isn't the "install" button to flash a .zip file...
I have only " apply update" that looks only in /data/media path with no way to go into the sd card, and apply update from ADB but usb connection doesn't work
Please help me I need too unbrick this tablet :crying::crying:
I don't understand why USB connection doesn't work with pc and just work for charging... I tryed with every driver versions , computers and odin version but is invisible to computers....

The only problem now is that in stuck with stock recovery, stuck on bootlogo and without an USB.
The only way to fix now certainly is sending to repair.

Potentially bricked S4 (GT-I9505)?

Hello all,
I decided to install a recovery mode called Philz touch v6.07.6, which completed successfully and I can access to both download mode and this recovery menu. Then used Kingroot to root the phone. I then tried to use the ADB system to install a ROM due to not having an SD card at the time. I had chosen the option to clean install which deleted cache and formatted certain folders. The installation process then failed and I can only access download mode and recovery and my phone does not connect to my laptop anymore, or any other. I cannot seem to connect my phone to any computer, either with different cables or USB port.
I've uninstalled KIES, smart switch. uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers but my phone still does not connect to Odin or ADB server. I cannot install a new recovery menu as I cannot see my phone on Odin.
Thinking an SD card with a ROM would resolve the issue I purchased a card, added a ROM to it but I cannot find anything I put on the sd card. Choosing install from zip then SD card it shows clockworkmod/ but nothing else. Using free browse mode i've looked into every folder and cannot find anything that is on my SD card. I see no option under mounts and storage to mount the SD card
Thank you for your time and if you can advise me on what I am doing wrong.
Edit: I forgot to mention - When powering the phone on normally without trying to get into recovery or download mode, the top left of the screen says:
"Kernel is not seanandroid enforcing"
Set Warranty Bit : kernel

You do realize the S4 has an internal storage, right? It's a built-in microSD card.
So you absolutely don't need one to use and/or flash custom ROMs on it.
Your second mistake was flashing PhilZ recovery. It's a mistake because that recovery is outdated.
Your third mistake was trying to flash the ROM via ADB when you can simply flash it with the recovery.
The reason why the ROM zip doesn't show up in your recovery id because, most probably, the internal storage is selected by default. So, either navigate to the microSD card folder or move the ROM zip to your internal storage.
I also recommend switching to TWRP recovery.

@Aysta, if it's not too late for you, just flash the latest twrp Recovery ". Tar. File" in Odin (>AP) by switching off the device in download mode. After that just copy your desired custom rom and gapps to your sd-card by an sd-card reader in Windows and the rest you know, which as i assume, will follow... [emoji6]
P. S I just experienced the same yesterday evening when i bricked one of my Sammy's while using an experimental kernel (. Img) file.
Anyhow, this just solved everything for me [emoji4]

You have to get your phone working with Odin, it's your only way out.

"this doesnt make sense than, either"
And i overlooked it. Can happen mate.

Thank you for your assistance guys, i've still not been able to flash a new recovery as my phone just will not connect. I read installing older drivers helps but it didn't. Older odin didn't work. I need to access an operating system which isn't Windows 10 according to another website. So will create a virtual machine and let you all know how it goes.

Ubuntu has worked! i installed jodin3 and my phone shows up on there while in download mode

That's why i told you it's the Only way, Odin must detect your phone, otherwise you're screwed.
