If you want to get back to stock on your Samsung Galaxy J1 2016, you will need the following:
1. Stock rom: SM-J120FN
2. Samsung USB Drivers installed on your windows pc
3. Odin (Samsung's flash tool)
Steps to follow:
1. unzip "stock rom".zip
2. start Odin
3. In the right, click AP and point to the folder where you have the rom unnzipped
4. put your phone in DOWNLOAD mode, not recovery.
5. Now connect your device to the computer
6. Odin should display some com port number if all is good.
7. Click start and wait until success message is displayed
First boot may take a little longer than usual.
Let me know if you get stuck in the process, I might be able to help you.

[Q] Doesn't enter in recovery mode, doesn't start

Hello there,
Well, my Galaxy S 2, after uninstalling a program, got an error (black screen, need to restart...) and so doesn't start anymore (freezes at "Samsung Galaxy S II" screen) or enter in recovery mode (freezes with the robot on background, without letters). I have the download mode yet.
I tried to flash a rom with odin, but it freezes at "NAND write start" process (I've waited 30 min), and I have to abort disconecting the phone.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks
You get into the download mode. That's good. The flashing fails. That's not good.
We need more info to help you. The fact that you had some error and now cannot flash some firmware does not really help us. At least me...
Here are some questions I have:
What firmware did you try to flash?
What Operating System are you using?
Do you have KIES installed?
or
Where do you got the drivers from?
Did ODIN work in the past or did you never use it before?

Thank you for answering.
I've never flashed any firmware before on this phone (it has the original one). I tried to flash the stock XXKI1, using just the PDA field. So, Odin still at "NAND write start" part.
As I said, I had an error after uninstalling an app (launcher error), that I've forced to remove the battery. After that, the phone didn't start anymore (freeze at "Samsung Galaxy SII" screen), and I can't enter in recovery mode.
I don't have Kies installed (got the drivers separated).
Sorry that it took me so long to answer you.
If you still have the problem, I'll try my best to guide you through the process of restoring your device.
What do you want to install on your device?
-A stock rom
-A customrom based on TouchWiz
-CyanogenMod
-MIUI
Just let me know and I'll help you asap.
A stock rom...
Okay, where do you live? Or more accurate, what language do you want to use later?
Your first step is to get the "Heimdall Suite" up and running on your PC.
Download it from their homepage. Extract it somewhere where you can easily find it later. Then you'll need to install the drivers.
Put your phone into download-mode and plug it in. If they aren't installed yet, Windows will now start the installation. When completed, open the "drivers"-folder in the Heimdall folder. Run "zDiag" as administrator.
Enable the show all devices option and select either "Samsung USB composite device" or "Gadget serial" (depending on what's available in your dropdown-list). Install the driver and ignore the warning from Windows (install it anyway).
Now that everything is set up, your first step is to get the ".pit" file for your device. I'll check whether yours is valid. Open the Heimdall frontend as administrator and go into the last tab. Click on detect device and, if your device gets detected, click on print pit. If you get errors in the output, disconnect your phone, shut it down and enter download-mode again. Retry.
Please post the output here.

OTA Update turned Galaxy Pocket Boot Loop

Help Please?
I had my Galaxy Pocket rooted and got the Jellyblast v3 rom, it was doin fine until I checked on the app OTA and check for update, a new update appeared which is the Nemesis 2.5 Hybrid-Holo Editon. It asked me to download it and so I did. When it was done, it asked me if I wanted to install it and so I did, and rebooted. Later I noticed that it was already boot looping. I tried pulling the battery off and to clockwork mode, with the proper procedure..the holds and presses, but still it just kept boot looping. Tried to connect it to the PC using the USB chord and yet it just shows the charging icon and sooner it turns to white. I tried Kies but still it turned white screen all over again; no device found.
Can someone PLEASE help me with this one? PLEASE, PLEASE guys? I know you guys are knowledgable on these kind of issues. :crying:

I also received the same message and downloaded the update file. when ask to Reboot & Install i selected install the device booted in CWM and i selected update from .zip and selected the downloaded file in OTA Download Folder.
The update was successful, yet the ROM looks in BETA version.
Following are the issues i am currently facing in the updated ROM
1. Gallery ICS was Force Closed, later it was solved via uninstalling update.
2. Quick Panel, Nemesis Hub, Nemesis Owner Info & Nemesis Sound Boosters are giving FC messages.
3. OTA is giving INVALID ROM Message while updating.
I´m having the same issues.
After downloading and installing the OTA update, my device is keep stucking in the boot loop.
When I do to the recovery, I always get automatic update with the update.zip, which means I can't get into the full recovery to select another functional image.
Well I hope it's not bricked. Is there a sollution?
Thanks
I have repaired that throught ODIN MODE, like described here:

For all the SGY Users who are facing issues after updating Jellyblast 3.5 to Nemesis (I faced it too) here is the guide to recover your phone:-
First to repair your phone you have to flash stock rom via odin .
Here's the guide for Flashing Stock Rom via Odin
Requirement: 1. A Samsung Galaxy y phone model gt-s5360.
2. A computer running on windows xp, vista, win7 or win8 with proper USB driver installed to connect your phone to computer {If you have not installed USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy Y then to Install USB Driver}
3. Stock Rom file : you can download stock rom according to your choice and region from the xda thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800e
4. download ODIN: 1 .85.(google it as i cannot post outside links)
Installation Instruction : [ Charge your phone battery min 80%]
1. Download the required file Odin AND Stock Rom. zip and place in a folder on your desktop .
2. Now extract both with any file extractor.-- Odin v1 .85 .zip and the stock rom zip( file which contains the stock rom i. e 2 .3 .6 )
After that extract Stock Rom file after unzipping you will get three files :
PDA _S5360 _DDLK2.tar,
MODEM_ S5360 _DDLK2.tar &
CSC_S 5360 _DDLK2 .tar
3. Now turn off your Galaxy Y {Remove the battery for 5 -10 seconds and insert it back }
4. Go to Download Mode by Pressing Volume down + Home + Power for 5- 10 sec to boot in Download Mode
5. Now you entered in Download mode select continue by pressing Volume up button .
6. Now attach/ connect your phone to computer via USB cable .
7. Now on your computer open Odin v 1 .85. exe
8.Now make sure you are getting yellow box in ID:COM ( this means that your device is now connected and detected by odin )
9.Now Select those 3 files u download before
PIT - "totoro_0623.pit"
BOOTLOADER - "BOOT" file.
PDA - "PDA" file.
PHONE - "MODEM" file.
CSC - "GT-s5360- MULTI-CSC" file.
10.Now clik on start .
And let be ODIN do its work and wait till you see PASS in green colour it mean the flashing process is complete successfully . Samsung
11.Remove your phone from pc 12.Galaxy Y will auto reboot .
Now if you want to install nemesis Rom, you have to install the nemesis Rom 2.0 (Nemesis Titanium) first and than you should update the Rom by downloading the update file via OTA and flashing the zip file through CWM.
I hope my suggestion will solve your problem.
Did you wipe data and wipe catch before installing ROM??
Did you try flashing original ROM with Odin or others??

You can try kies emergency recovery.
Kies will get you the latest firmware available for your device.
1. On a PC open http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
2. Click Download for windows
3. Install Kies
4. Open Kies
5. Write down serial number of phone device (it's under battery)
6. Plug in phone to PC and power up phone while HOLDING volume down
7. Once you see the download screen on phone press volume up
8. On PC in Kies click "tools - Firmware Upgrade and Initialization"
9. Type in SGH-I717 (all caps)
10. Type in serial number
11. Follow directions
12. Once phone reboots you will have the latest OFFICIAL firmware (JB 4.1.2 as of 6-1-2013)
13. Perform a factory data reset before proceeding (it helps it run smoother)
14. Type in google info and enjoy!

There is another problem. The Kies forced to stop update the rom automaticlly which really drived me crazy.
And I think the problem is that Kies is not able to connect with my cellphone.
Anybody can help???

[Q] BOOTLOOP No Normal or Recovery Boot/ Downloader works/ Odin does not detect on PC

Phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon SCH-i535
It was already running KitKat 4.4.2 before I rooted
This is my first time rooting and flashing ROMs to my Samsung Galaxy s3 and I have bricked it. I'm pretty sure it can be salvaged but have yet to find anything that works.
I have written the long version for those who need it, but the short version is that I screwed up and can no longer boot into recovery mode or normal mode, I'm not even sure if Download mode is working, and my device isn't recognized by Kies or Odin on my PC so I cannot yet do a recovery from there.
As of now my phone only boots into Odin Mode and gives the following info:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
and displays the yellow triangle error and says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software repair Assistant & try again.
I tried to use Samsung Kies which has an emergency firmware tool but my device will not connect and become recognized by the program.
This is pretty much where I'm stuck.
Keep reading if you need additional info.
Steps leading up to problem:
I was able to Root the device succesfully
I then downloaded the latest CM11 package (cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip) and Gapps
I also downloaded the TWRP recovery img (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-d2vzw.img)
Once I had these downloaded I got the app [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool
I opened the app and tried to do a backup but I'm pretty sure it failed, or at least it said it failed. I couldn't find out how to check, but was not worried since I have already backed up my important files to the verizon cloud.
On the app I went to recover using other file and found the TWRP recovery img I downloaded.
From here I booted into recovery manually, but it did not bring up the TEAMWIN screen for TWRP like I've seen in other video tutorials so I rebooted into normal mode went to the Rashr app again and followed the prompt to do a Recovery boot using the TWRP img.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN:
It began to lead into recovery mode but it gave a message that said something along the lines that I have tried installing a custom OS and to take my phone to the nearest verizon store.
I turned it off and tried to boot back normally but got the same error.
I tried to boot into Download mode and was successful! So I thought yaay!
Read a tutorial to reload a stock version of android here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
I followed all the steps but when i got to 7. which said You should see your phone under ID:COM (you should also see it has been added in message) I was not seeing my phone there. I figured it may be OK since I was able to install the drivers so that meant the USB was working so I went ahead and ran Odin to recover Jelly Bean 4.3 onto the device.
My thoughts and guesses as to what the problem is:
I think that it may be because I was already running 4.4.2 and/ or didn't have the proper bootloader when I tried to do the TWRP recovery.
Am I on the right track? Thanks for any help!
Please ask. In correct forum this is int'l s3 (i9300) forum

Is your phone even genuine? Recovery should even look like that!? Did you use this link to download ADB and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555 Did you try updating drivers via device manager?
