Flash cwm recovery again from fastboot.
Download the right stock rom for your device from here.
Go mounts&storage, format everything there.
Go back and choose wipe > wipe dalvik cache.
Copy the rom to your sdcard via mounts&storage > mount usb storage, make sure that /mount sdcard is active (also in mounts&storage). Unmount.
Install zip from sdcard, choose the rom you just copied.
Restart, done.

anyone

It appears you dont have CWM installed, Get CWM and put it on sd card, Then boot into recovery and select ''apply sdcard update zip''
Or you can just flash a SAFE kernel in ODIN, Something like speedmod
CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1056408&d=1336826886
Speedmod Kernel (ODIN) - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-3-Odin.tar
PLEASE AVOID DOING A FULL WIPE UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU ARE ON A SAFE KERNEL - SPEEDMOD IS SAFE, SO IS ABYSS !!!

thankyou thankyou thankyou, first usfull help for the past few days, ill give this a shot

ok its making progress, ive doen so far
- download Abyss Kernel 4.2 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
- put zip-file on your USB-storage
- boot in Recovery
- Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!
- boot back in Recovery (find it under 'advanced') ok i selected restart recovery the top option and now it just has a numbers going up and up ie its not at 1419 and its increasing as i type.. what is this ? ok i took out battery and this time i flashed abyss and rebooted phone not via the option in advanced menu and now rebooted back to cwm and about to flash rom to see if it worked... i dint do any wiping
- now FullWipe!!!
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
-...you are done

Its difficult to understand what you are trying to say.
You have CWM installed now yes ?
And you successfully flashed Abyss kernel in CWM ?
If so, When you reboot into recovery, You should see RedPill Touch Recovery (same as CWM but red) ?? If you DO NOT see this, DO NOT WIPE.
If you do see it, Then Job done, Flash away, Its safe to wipe on that kernel, But Im new and would avoid it whether it is safe or not.
Only wipe if you HAVE TO !

hi all im all sorted now, i just wasent understanding it all but a very kind person helped me though it and im now clued up and understand all what was needed
thankyou all

@k2828 Did u formatted data and cache and did factory retest ?
if u didn't pls do that

@azur ARE YOU 100 sure that this is thr problem? you know that my micro USB port is dead...
i mean i had no device where you couldn't flash a new rom without wiping the ild one. i always could wipe afterwards

Proper steps for flashing the CM 12.1 Rom

@k2828 am cen percent sure. am not telling to format system. if u format the system then only u will lose the current Rom.
check that is is saying that "Can't install this package on top of incomparable data run a factory reset"
when format the data the u will not lose the the current rom u will only lose the user data such as installed app, contacts saved in phone etc. actually formatting data means factory reset which will turn ur phone ROM into brand new u have to start over form the beginning. if u want to be safer side first do an nandroid backup of current stock ROM man then only u can restore that at any cost
look at the following step posted by @Rox
1. Download the ROM from the link below
2. Download GAPPS
3. Transfer the zip files to your SD card
4.. Reboot to recovery mode ( Vol UP + Home + Power )
Note: It is highly recommended to use TWRP recovery
5. Optional: Do nandroid backup
6. Wipe data / Factory Reset
Note: Needed if you are updating from other andorid version or stock
7. Install CM zip and GApps zip
8. Reboot to system
in the first you have to do Wipe data / Factory Reset the only u have to install the CM zip
still if u not believed me in the sense
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esmt7eIIPjc
check out this video in that he will be using the CWM recovery to flash CM12.1 he will perform the Wipe data / Factory Reset first and then only he will Install CM zip and GApps zip

thx dude. i have overseen that there is a sd card slot. it worked after wipping data

J500FN Bricked

Hi, i flashed my phone with custom rom and my phone keep restarting everytime i started it. And i cant use recovery (twrp) because it restarts in recovery mode too, it can go only in download mode.. please tell me its not hard brick that cant be fixed in software. Thanks

Well if it only restarts in download mode the only thing you can do is to return to stock. Download the latest firmware of your device variant and flash it via Odin. I suggest you to flash a lollipop one and then update to Marshmallow if you want.

Yo!
First, calm down because its not hard brick You can fix it and its quite easy.
Follow these steps:
1) Download and install the proper DRIVERS for your phone (it should be done automatically when you connect the phone to the PC).
2) The phone should have at least 50% battery!
3) Download ODIN program. I'm using v3.09
4) Download the stock rom for J500FN from here: MEDIAFIRE <--- click . This is a firmware which i have uploaded in past, for faster download and is based on 5.1.1 lollipop.
If you want other firmware, then check on SAMMOBILE or other website.
You can use SamFirm to download firmwares faster: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 (even if says deprecated, it works fine).
5) Extract ODIN archive and run it (.exe file).
6) Extract the stock rom .zip archive and you will get a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file (xxxxxxxxxx= name of the stock rom)
7) Restart the phone in DOWNLOAD MODE, by holding Power + Home + Volume down buttons same time.
A "Warning" window will apear, now press the "vol up" button to get "DOWNLOAD MODE" and conect the phone to the pc
If the ODIN see the phone, on the "ID:COM"line(midle-left) you will see "0:[COMx]"(x= port number)
8) On the ODIN press "AP" button, a window will apear, search in it the location of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5, select it and open.
9) Now press "START" button and wait until ODIN finish.
When it finish, the phone will boot automatically and in ODIN will apear a big green PASS.
10) Phone is booting. Yayyy!

Now flash TWRP and go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Then the bootloop should be gone.
If you still have a bootloop after doing this, then try to reflash the stock rom.

Then reflash stock rom and reboot. If you get bootloop, go to recovery ( STOCK recovery) and wipe data and cache, but keep in mind that when you are wiping data, it may wipe the whole internal memory, not just data. It happened to me on some newer firmware. And then reboot again.
