Recovery of J700T from "Device storage corrupt you must factory reset" error

Time to talk to the XDA brain trust before I make matters worse. I had rooted my J700T and all was well, also using link2sd. Unfortunately, I made a fatal error by attempting to use FolderMount (rather than creating the links myself), ending up in the Samsung "/data corrupt you must factory reset" error. Also unfortunately, when I earlier flashed TWRP (and then flashed SuperSU via TWRP) I did not choose to wipe the phone at that point to give /data & /system access, so I can't access them through TWRP's adb access. The "reset phone" option on the "you must factory reset" page fails of course, since it tries to boot into recovery which is TWRP not stock. I tried to do a typical TWRP wipe (I can still boot into TWRP of course, and into the download screen), but the result is that when the phone is started normally it continuously loops with the Galaxy J7 splash screen on and off at about seven second intervals (only stopped by pulling the battery).

So the question is, what's the best way to proceed? I saw another page here with the four ODIN files to flash back to stock, but the dropbox account is suspended due to overuse. Ideally, something I could do through TWRP would be even better, and this time I'd like to do the full reset and turn off the crypto so that in the future TWRP has full access to the internal phone data, not just the SD card.

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
