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
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!

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)

________________________________________________
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)

Give your thanks to @Starchild2k , my dude.
Hi There, need some help if you can...any educated and experienced help would be appreciated thanks.
After downloading my stock firmware and extracting via Huawei update Extractor all the image files ( System, user data, Cache, etc) I backed up oeminfo and cust files via Rayglobe Knife and saving the extracted update.app file to my dload folder on SDCard and successfully resetting my phone to factory using the vol+/- and power method I was quietly confident to make the jump and flash a rom the Android 7.0 (N) Nougat beta on Huawei posted by Somboons
I followed the instructions and dirty flashed this thru TWRP as instructed which seemed to go ok until I tried to reboot, the phone booted to stock recovery so I wiped Dalvik, Cache and Factroy reset, this completed and it all went down hill from there, basically now just stuck at boot screen saying that its about to reboot but never moves unless I use button combos
(OK so yes I feel stupid now and I'll beat myself up so you don"t have to, but I reallyt thought that I could always get back to stock via my SDCard)
What I can do...
Phone can only boot to eRecovery ( with WIFI failed message )
I can go into fastboot ( shows Bootloader and FRP unlocked)
What i can't do...
Cant access my update file on SDCard....Trying to boot using vol+/- and power to access my dload/update.app file on my SDCard just freezes at initial boot screen and tells me to push vol up button for 3 second and this takes me to eRecovery where all i can do is reboot or shut down.
I can't adb sideload files " no SU Binary detected"
What I've tried...
I have tried Rayglobe knife UNBRICK option placing my extracted boot, cust, system, recovery .img files but his fails with my PC popping up and saying this operation can't be performed on this PC please contact developer so this fails.
I then tried to fastboot flash all the image files which seemed to work successfully but no changes to the situation.
I have tried to fastboot flash the update.app which went thru the sparse process of all seven files and then come up with error command can not complete ( something in those words)
I have tried to fastboot new stock recovery from my rom as well as TWRP recovery but nothing works even if it says seems to have completed in the adb command prompt.
I have a feeling this is to do with the encryption of the rom and now my system cannot recognise my partition and without recovery I have no way of mounting my sdcard.
Thank god I have my old and reliable Lumia 1520 to fall back on untill I get this sorted.
Any Help would be appreciated....thanks in advance
Are you able to boot into Huawei recovery?

A very big thanks ....this worked with no hitches except I now have no service now have to find unlock code for sim and get rid of the Ascend 7 splash screen that appears before the original Huawei Boot screen.?
After the above issues with thanks to warsangel's suggestion to use DC_Phoenix, I have managed to get my phone back up and running...got sim working so I now can detect my network and call and text using HCU client.
I now want to get rid of the annoying splash screen on bootup that shows Huawei Ascend spalsh screen before the mate 8 factory Huawei animated boot up screen. I still cannot access my dload folder on SDCard using vol-/+ and power button combo and if I dial in to manufacturers settings using*#*#2846579#*#* when i select upgrade from sd card i get a "PT failed do you still want to continue" if i click yes it re installs the firmware but makes no changes at all. Does any one have any other ideas. Of how to clear the splash screen and get the phone working back on Mate 8 button and bootup settings. Everything else works perfectly just a couple of things that will niggle at me...just want to get it back to out of the box as I have the Original Firmware zip file for this phone and region. cheers

Hi blueheart...no I can't, I think this is my problem, I can get to fast boot and I can't fastboot anything now because the boot loader is locked with a different code than the original one that I paid for with dc-unlocker. I have manged thru HCU cLIENT to get my original imei number and serial number but this serial number doesnt show up when I fastboot devices, lists one that come with the Phoenix firmware I flashed which is an Ascend as this was a NXT image closest to my NXT-L09.
My problem still is that I seem to go in to 2G and lose the signal all the time, I'm thinking I need to enter more details in CDMA repair in HCU Client or am I going about this the wrong way???
Oh bru, no idea!
HCU client is good enough. Keep trying dload if your bootloader is locked, it will flash for sure. Phone isn't easy to brick.

Cheers Mate, managed to get to dload/update now but this doesnt seem to give a full reset, but modem is holding a signal but intermittently will drop into no service. I managed via HCU to re enter my imei and serial but a different serial number showsup in my settings still ??? getting back to where i need to but the signal dropping is a real problem. The next step is to try and get bootloader unlocked....any advice from any one.... if I fastboot flash modem will this be enough to bring my base band back or is there another file I should be looking at? cheers
You need to have cust and oem info of your own area for best signal

Thanks....I have my backup oeminfo it isnt a .img or .app file it just says oeminfo (type=file) can i fast boot this ? or do I have to use SRKtool as I don't want to unlock bootloader.
DC-Phoenix tool lets me fastboot .img files via backdoor and app files can I convert the oeminfo file to and .img file?
Cheers
How did you do the back up?
You can flash via fastboot

Backup was done through Rom Manager but the back up isn't an image it's a series of files like system.ext4, boot.emmc.win etc with MD5 info files. I've re-rooted device and tried to use rom manager to restore but when it boots to TWRP recovery nothing happens??? and I can't see any of the files if I go into the twrp folder on the SDcard because they aren't zip or img file.
My biggest problem even after doing full factory reset, wipe cache or install my original firmware update.app file, it doesn't seem to over write the image file that I used to recover my phone with the DC-Phoenix app, every thing indicates that it has been successful, but when I boot up,, It never goes to the stock setup mode where you would normally, choose your region, set your pin etc....it's like my install is only a shell or part of my install is not overwriting the dgtks firmware file I used which was a Huawei Ascend 7. The system re-defaults after rest to this firmware. Anyone help me to get rid of it and get back to my stock please?
I can use my stock update.app but it's not installing over the NXT AL10_M00A095_Factory_firmware_Android_6.0_EMUI_4.0.dgtks that I use ( this was the closest firmware that they had ) I think I need to format my whole system to ext4 ??? especially the partition that it storing this data that is preventing me to get my stock firmware back....any help or advice on this ...thanks
Yes format via Huawei recovery then flash
Or
Root and flash via TWRP after unzipping

just to update....I tried formatting and resetting all partitions to ext4 format most of the partitioning was successful with the exception of Systrem and Cust...TWRP would allow me to do these....I did numerous wipes via TWRP and Stock RECOVERY but unfortunately even with a full update.app via sdcard / dload folder and fastboot update.app (my firmware) via DC-Phoenix I couldn't seem to get a full factory stock install, same problems as discussed above and file system always goes to Encrypting screen and then I end up with the Ascend 7 screen and settings with obviously the wrong base band for my region. So I hate to admit defeat, but I've relocked bootloader, reset as much as I can and sent off to the Huawei Workshop to see if they can reset all the partitons back to normal.
Hahaha
Cool, let's see

Update: well I dodged a bullet today....I sent my Mate 8 away 5 days ago to the Huawei tech support up the other end of the country and it arrived back today, back to stock and they replaced the main board with no cost to me at all. I was sure that they would call foul play and charge me but I obviously did such a number on the phone and then cleaned up all traces that they couldn't make that call lesson learn't and I see a few other people having similar problems with the Beta Nougat Rom....that you may need to post a big warning and send them to this posting so they are fair warned. I think this thread is done....I might just leave my phone alone and no tweaking for a while
Absolutely true!
XDA is not a playground for kids
You need courage to keep the Mate's balls on fire and get burnt with the nuclear reactions while keeping the blame on self
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.
Guys pls I need your help, is there anyway to restore my phone. Its stuck in boot logo after mistakenly formatting system. I've searched Google and found out that I can flash system.IMG back to my phone using fastboot, but I can't do that cos am scared. There are more IMG files like boot.IMG, user data.IMG and so on my stock ROM zip file. I can no longer boot to edl and cwm is always showing Installation aborted. I use a vivo y913.
Am a new here pls any help???
