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
https://mega.co.nz/#!91B1nCyK!883UcDhjjj6M-AnciDMdMh8WopfdOeZrKEwC8G-Ibs4
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.

Hi,
I wanna reflash sd-ext content from one sd card to another one.As CWM 5.0.2.8 is bad and does not restore sd-ext because it wrote some error message like sd-ext is not mounted even partitioned correctly, I choosed at CWM 5.0.2.8 RESTORE instead of normal ADVANCED RESTORE.As I previously backed up SD-EXT only, I had no back up of BOOT of course.CWM is so stupid it erased BOOT !!!! and then wrote error while flashing boot image
So at this moment I am at CWM , mounted and accessed USB by PC ( cant choose restart to download mode)
I would like to kindly ask someone to back up BOOT by this CWM version at G3MOD 2.5 kernel and upload it here.so I will be able flash BOOT only and normally work
I am sure after restart , phone will be hard bricked.
Update : 23 views and NOONE is able go to CWM , make FULL backup and post there or anywhere required files ? , guys , common ! help me please

Hey guys i need help. I recently rooted my samsung galaxy trend gt-s7392, so that i can install a custom rom. I have used odin and installed cwm and then installed twrp mod for my device. I still havent wiped my system rom but inorder to install the custom rom i was trying to format the /data partition but for some reason it was stuck in cwm. So i switched to twrp to tackle the problem. But according to logcat , twrp is unable to mount the /data partition and the /data partition shows 0mb in total size and in free space. I cannot mount or format the /data partition but all other partitions are working well and can be mounted and formatted. And if i try to reboot my system in its current state then it just gets stuck in a bootloop. Please tell me what to do so that i can mount and format the /data partition to install the stock or any custom rom. Any help is appreciated. Please help!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You shouldn't have both CWM and TWRP on your phone at the same time. Something didn't work right right when you tried to replace cwm with twrp. You might have to return your device to stock and start over.

Please help i think i have messed it up pretty bad. My phone boots into recovery but it only shows loading bar in cwm and the picture of an android. I can still boot into download/odin mode but my phone can neither boot into system nor can i use adb shell commands. I cannot even use cwm recovery sice it only shows loading. Please Please Please Help!!!!
Don't panic. Unfortunately there is not a specific forum for your device on XDA. But what you'll want to do is flash the stock firmware in odin.
- Goggle odin 3.07 xda. Extract that and install it on your pc.
- Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip or winrar to extract it. You'll end up with a .tar.md5 file. That's what you'll use in odin.
- Star odin on your pc
- Put your device in download mode and connect it to your pc with the usb cable
- Using the PDA slot in odin find the .tar.md5 file
- Only have f. reset and auto-reboot checked in odin. DO NOT have re-partition checked.
- run odin
Note: odin can be finicky. Use the usb ports in the back of the PC. You might have to try different usb ports and cables
Hello everyone. So, let's start by explaining what I have did.
For a while I had the XtreStolite Odex 2.0 edition and I wanted to try out other ROM. I have factory reset-ed when I was installing the ROM using TWRP and I somehow managed to delete all the phone's internal stuff, but I can still boot to TWRP or download mode.
I have tried to flash stock firmware using Odin 3.10.6 ( running as administrator too ) and when it gets to sboot.bin it fails right away. I have tried using Samsung Smart Switch PC Software, tells me my device is unsupported. If I try to manually find my model using the S/N, the software fully downloads then gives me an error.
I have tried to ADB sideload from TWRP Advanced menu, whenever I want to flash for example xtrestolite odex zip ( named rom.zip for short ) it goes "serving:... 21%" and gets stuck. If I try to push a zip it says "error:closed". I am no big expert in ADB, I don't know how to install the latest version, and I can't download the full Android SDK because my internet is very slow. I had Bootloader and Modem 5.1.1
I am looking for a way to move the XtreStolite ROM zip into the phone's memory so I can boot to TWRP and install the ROM. I've seen something with OTG Cable and USB but I have no real knowledge of these. If it comes as a last resort, if someone could briefly explain me how would I manage to repair the phone using the OTG Cable and USB stick.
I also have a Nandroid Backup on my PC but I don't know how to move it to the phone's storage, because it's well, bricked. When I'm trying to copy files over Mount option in TWRP, it says that it cannot copy the file, the device may be disconnected.
I had Bootloader and Modem 5.1.1, also Windows 10. I can go back to 7 or 8.1 anytime it's needed.
Much appreciations.
EDIT: I actually repaired it by flashing a stock firmware downloaded from xda ( God bless you whoever linked the mega.co.nz stock fw link ) . Thread can be deleted.
You can also flash these via odin.

I found it is possible to backup and restore with twrp for sm-j700p even though the recovery is not booting into system. What i did was flash twrp... then made a backup... then rebooted into download mode.. then flashed stock recovery and then the system boot up. How i restored my backup was to reflash twrp and select restore backup then reflashed the stock recovery... odin is required for this.. im only doing this until the recovery is able to boot into system...
how do i get out of my boot loop i tried factory wipe and all the roms i could find. j700p boost mobile
Bump!

Starchild2k said:
I am releasing today a updated version of TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy J700P. This project was rebuilt by me using the 6.01 Stock Kernel instead of the 5.1 kernel that is used in the first release. I also noticed that in the original TWRP the partitions were not setup correctly for backup. If you did a backup in the first copy it had EFS as a option in the backup list and when you select that and do a restore it will cause the phone to soft brick to the point even the stock rom couldn't fix it. The EFS partition wasn't restoring correctly due the configuration in the recovery.FSTAB it was erasing the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions so i reconfigured the FSTAB to support all partitions on the phone itself enabling you to make the correct backups/restores of the phone. I renamed the assert to it's default name which is j7ltespr so it makes it even easier to make custom roms flash correctly without error. Remember this is still in BETA i will be releasing a FINAL build very very soon.
REQUIREMENTS:
Odin 3.10/3.11(For Flashing TWRP)
Install Instructions:
1.Download TAR file from forum (LINK BELOW)
2. Put Phone in Download Mode(When phone is off press buttons:VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER Press VOLUME UP to continue)
3.Open Odin up and select AP Then select the file where ever you downloaded the Twrp Tar file from this forum
4. ENJOY!
________________________________________________
Fix for Soft Brick:
NOTES: Use this only if you used the first TWRP and did a backup and restore and it soft bricked your J700P phone! You may need to do a factory reset to get things working right again or even use the stock firmware TAR file for your J700P phone variant (BOOST,SPRINT,VIRGIN MOBILE)
REQUIREMENTS:
1. twrp from this forum
2. External SD (If you decide you want to use the Internal SD instead of the External SD, in step 5. type cd /sdcard instead of cd /external_sd then continue on with step 6)
Install Instructions:
1. Download modem files.zip (LINK BELOW)
2. Extract modem files to external SD
3. Enter Recovery Mode (When Phone is off press and hold buttons VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER until TWRP loads)
4. Click Advanced then click on Terminal
5. Type cd /external_sd and press ENTER
6. Type flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 modemst1.img and press ENTER
7. Type flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 modemst2.img and press ENTER
8. DONE!

after wiping delvac and just before rebooting system
but it reboot into cwm
Ok, first of all, i would suggest you to use Cosmic Rom and latest version of twrp for the i8262.
TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-samsung-galaxy-t3468405 (Download the New Version.)
Cosmic Rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...osmic-rom-smooth-fast-stylish-kitkat-t2909037 (download the update too)
After that flash TWRP using your CWM.
Now first make sure all the data is properly backed up. Also keep these files in your SD Card.(use a reader or insert it another device and transfer it anyhow. Or you can use adb push to push your file to device after step 1.)
1st go to Wipe and advanced wipe and tick Internal Memory(just to make sure nothing is left that is causing problem), cache and delvik cache.
2nd Now go to Install, and select Cosmic Rom, now click add more zips to queue. Now select the update file (Optional: you can even add the SuperSu file now) and flash them.
3rd now clear cache and dalvik cache and go to reboot and click system.(options may wary as i dont remember them correctly)
4th Now enjoy this rom and click thanks if i helped
5th if it still booted in recovery than something is damm wrong with phone
FYI- I have written this answer while commuting so i dont remember the options correctly. Also sorry for my terrible English and feel free to DM me any query.
