Just put the bootloader into "fastboot usb" mode while connected to a Windows PC and you can flash the RUU.exe.

Or if you have a custom recovery installed you should be able to boot into recovery from the bootloader and mount the SD card as USB storage.

i tried to run the RUU.exe but nothing happens,im stuck on the fastboot screen and when i try to go into recovery it says no img is there,if i reboot the phone im right back at the fastboot screen,i relocked the phone so i can try and get it back to the original state,is there a way to flash an img from odin?
 
Try to reflash your recovery when you are in fastboot usb mode. Sounds like it's missing for some reason.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then boot the recovery using:
fastboot boot recovery.img


Edit, i see you are locked. You will either need to unlock again and do the above or ruu.

What error are you getting when running the Ruu?
 
ODIN is a tool for Samsung phones. You have a Samsung phone listed in your profile. Are you in the right forum?
