Default [Q] Wiped System - can load into recovery - some help.

I was planning to do a recovery from a good backup. Hit wipe system and that file is, and the current rom, is gone. I have no running OS but I can get into TeamWin Recovery. Can't seem to usb mount from there to drop a rom in though. I know I'm not bricked but I don't know what to do from here. Can I get some help? Thanks!

You'd be better off downloading a stock restore tar, or One-Click restore and using download/ODIN mode. Look at rwilco12's repository, and the sxtape threads in this forum for files and guides.

Yep... You're going to have to re-root anyway if you wiped your system and data partitions. You have no backup, so you should rebuild from the ground up. Use billard's LJC stock recovery w/count reset. Then use the root toolkit to re-root. Before rooting, you might want to take the OTA update to MA7.

Yeah I was gonna say, if you already have twrp you can just pop any already rooted rom you want on your sd card and flash away.

For some reason my twrp won't let me select external sd is there a workaround for that? I would have tried that before even coming here.

What version of TWRP are you using?
