I am in the process of flashing CWM and when I go in to replace the old recovery file with the new one. I went in to the System/bin folder and no recovery file... Does this matter?

First of all you need to flash your backup if U have one, system partition would be enought for your effort.
If U don't have any kind of backup - full nandroid backup or adb backup you must flash stock rom.
U have SM-G355HN, download your regional version ( region) from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G355HN
or register and download it from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and find your regional version for your phone.
You can flash the stock with odin or kies
Odin :
Second you need odin3 for samsung flash, you can find tutorials how to here in xda or youtube, just search for it.
You will have to have installed usb drivers
Kies :
Kies download : samsung kies, install usb drivers and flash and download it from the net.
You will find a lot of how to's here in xda or youtube, but how to do it with G355HN is really the sama os for the other phones.
thank you for your replay.. the think is that I have already try this steps and instead the fact that I have installed drivers using kies. adb sideload ,kies and odin cant recognize device.. so I was thinking to put flashable build prompt in sdcard and flash it using stock recovery..

If Kies or odin cannot recognice the device ...
If you have previously installed odin correctly and the odin has made partition in your device you should enter download odin mode while phone is off. Use power + Home + Volume down and if it works odin will flash the stock.
If U can't enter stock recovery mode power + Home + Volume up this would be a biger problem.
If the device wont boot and the download and recovery mode doesn't work, your stuck with easy options.
Been messing with recovery ( built in ) and nandroid backup. Cannot create the whole backup just because of the limitation of the file SDCard FS, system recovery program or recovery kernel or update binary.
So far I found only ADB backup via recovery working fully to backup /system & /data partitions.
For all other partitions I can make flashable zip and it's all working good, only /system and /data are limited because of the restriction of fs or kernel/recovery program.
adb backup/restore via recovery / adb:
Code:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup.adb
Code:
adb restore backup.adb
Waiting for custom recovery for phone and full backup/restore within recovery.
its the first time using odin..my custom recovery works fine ( I can flash files using update from external) except sideload which cant recognise device... so if you can create a flashable system to flash it using recovery it might works..!
Provide your stock firmware fregion or link and I'll make you system or data backup - stock only.
Waiting for the firmware region.
my stock firmware region is EUR (Greece).. waiting for the file..! thank you..

G355HN single sim or dual ?
G355HN single sim

Here is the package.
But guess the zip is too large for our phone to handle, check it.
It's only system partition. Try flashing only system partition with odin if this doesn't work.

Well, I was trying to install Masik Marshmallow 1.1 into my s6 (sm-920F) using Heimdall, an open source alternative to Odin.
The only thing that I remember that I have done wrong is that I tried to flash bootloader onto the wrong partition. I wrote "heimdall flash --BOOT MM+bootloader.tar" instread of "heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER MM+bootloader.tar" And i remember that I successfuly flashed the file in the wrong partition.
Now I cant flash anything into the BOOTLOADER partition, I tried Odin from my father's windows PC but nothing.
Please Help! I would like if someone could send me the original content of the boot partition. I'm downloading firmwares looking for that file but I only have 3mbps so it might take a while
Edit:
Since I got no replies I figured I would change up my question to maybe make it easier to understand.
Does anyone know how to flash bootloader files in TWRP for a G955U?
Example:
-abl.elf/xbl.elf/tz.mbn/storsec.mbn/sec.dat/rpm.mbn/pmic.elf/NON-HLOS.bin/msadp.mbn/etc......
To their correct partitions
-sdd1 rpm/sdd2 tz/sdd3 hyp/sdd4 fsg/sdd5 sec/sdd6 pmic/sdd7 dsp/sdd8 abl/etc...
Phone usb port is dead and can't use download mode to flash. I have gotten a update.zip on PartyCyborg and tried to take it but fails when it gets to about 20% and give a "Single-SKU" error.
I have also tried to update with FlashFire after decompressing the lz4 files and it misses things like abl.elf and other bootloader files so after it's done installing the system just reboots with the standard Samsung splash and doesn't do anything, and since the usb doesn't work I can't flash with odin.
Does anyone now how to get the phone to update while being on a factory binary(used for root) and get to a stock rom with no usb.
Sup!
My phone is unable to boot due to the error "Could not do normal boot. Invalid KERNEL LENGTH!"
I already downloaded the kernel i need but since i can't even boot into recovery, i need to flash it with odin.
The file format is .zip, i couldn't find it in .tar format and inside of the zip also isn't a .tar but two .img files and some other important looking stuff.
Is there any way that i can flash the kernel back on?
TIA for any help
Will this work, its a bit old but you can give it a shot.
