Deleted the system, no backup. - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

So long story short, I deleted the system completely and I have no backup. Don't ask how or why because I was stupid. Really stupid. Flashing doesn't work , idk why. Tried it a million times and nothing. I found a thread somewhere where a guy fixed a problem like this when he used someone else's backup to restore the system, so if someone could upload system backup for my A8 (SM-A530F/DS) so I could try to fix it that way I would be really grateful.

Where you rooted do you twrp you can flash with that or use Odin for flashing.

I used the latest version of odin for flashing it fails every time. I've tried everything except using someone else's backup. That's my last hope before replacing the MB (or buying a new phone).

redownload a frsh copy of ther tar.img for your phone from sammobile.com, get a fresh download of Odin as well. I assume that Odin shows your device as COM# in the dialog box when its in download mode and connected via USB?
this is also assuming that your battery hasnt gone completely dead, in which case youll have to either perform surgery on it to remove the battery and put in one that has a charge as it requires at least a bootable recovery to charge the batt

Problem..need help

hey guys,
I flashed the "voodooChargeKernel4" tar file win Odin. Then I flashed the CWR recovery through Odin ( i know I ****ed up). It wouldnt boot and was stuck on the samsung screen. I pulled the battery and went back into Odin to reflash the voodoochargekernel again. Now it's stuck on a screen with a phone, a computer and orange triangle.
Well i got the same tar file to flash in Odin by switching USB ports, but now Im still stuck on the samsung screen
crap..i dont know what to do. I used the CWR recovery files from this thread on someone's recommendation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486. Now the phone wont turn on at all except download mode and anything I flash says fail.
Odin is flaky you may need to try a different USB port.
If that does not work try to remove the device in device manager and unplugging the phone and plugging it back in to the computer,.
And flash the below package

thank but that didnt work either. Its in an endless boot into recovery for some reason.
I had the problem, except mine wasn't going into recovery; it rebooted after every boot animation.
What worked for me was, using Odin, re-flashing the Kernel, unplug the phone, plug the phone in again, and then flashing Altered Beast, then turning the phone on. It didn't work if i tried them one at a time.
after u get the phone in download mde. re-install the battery and then flash via odin.
if your getting bootloop then try in recover to wipe data

Shouldn't be getting stuck there on 3.10.6 Odin. Have you got the drivers installed? I assume you have. Side loading might work, however it doesn't seem to function properly in our recoveries yet. At least not for me.

Its just not working... I have beendoing this all day... using Sp flash tool... I am now fed up.
My initial issue is that I chose option for 'Format all+Download' and it flashed well but I lost my IMEI... this should not be a problem I can re-write it using engineering mode Mobileuncle tools and other tools but they do not work on this rom... I think its because this is a moded rom so its not working, not even the engineering mode codes, I tried with fastboot, adb from computer... yes I can see my device but nothing else works.
Ok, let me just flash it all over with sp tool...all I get is the red bar, I dont get the Yellow one at all and even when i wait 5 minutes... nothing. I will keep trying then

Did you can try it with windows? Or try only Download and manually format it with the tab format.
or you use from another source but it should be the same https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0By4_z1Byo7UKYUh1Y1FQY3NrUjQ&export=download.
It is maybe a distro problem can you tell me which distro you are using?
I have it tested 10 minutes ago by me it works fine.

Bricked my Poco F2 Pro

Hi. Recently I've been trying to flash Xiaomi.eu. however, it didn't have success. My bootloader is unlocked, and I flashed the Chinese TWRP to flash it. However, upon flashing it I always had an error about my cache being corrupted or an odm error. However, I did manage to boot into xiaomi.eu before, but it randomly stopped working. Tried to flash stock as well, but everytime I do, it stops at the cache again and always gives me an error.
I'm fully defeated at this point and I haven't been able to boot into anything since. I've tried everything and that's why I'm here.
I hope anyone can help me.
Thank you.
