Odin Help

I checked three different sites I usually get Samsung firmware from. All list two carriers, TTT and EOM.
Is the phone you have a prepaid version from your local carrier?
 
That may be a problem. With some prepaid versions in the USA like Straight Talk or TracFone, they don't release their version of firmware and very hard to find unless someone leaks it. Even Kies or Smart Switch won't work.
 
The J700m should have a removable battery. Samsung usually places a sticker on the phone, under the battery with the model number and other information.
Is there any other designation besides SM-J700m?

But I am going to try a flash now: use the latest odin and firmware versions(the one you suggested) and use the port in the back of the PC. Missing anything?
 
I would try to boot into Recovery and factory reset first.
From off press and hold power, volume up and home till phone starts to boot, then release power only. Continue to hold volume up and home till you see the Recovery menu.
Press volume down to scroll to Factory Reset and press power to select.
If it still won't completely boot up, then try Odin.
If specific Prepaid version software needed, you may be out of luck.
Hopefully if Odin fails to flash the TTT firmware, it will only fail like before and not completely hard brick.
 
Edit your post #35, never a good idea to post IMEI information.
I was hoping for a different model number or additional character other than just J700 M

recovery mode is blocked by frp lock
 
I thought it would let you reset it in recovery then you would have to enter your Google account information to enter set up. I hate FRP.

I guess you could try one of the newest by date, Brazilian firmware. They list 4 carriers.
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-J700M&exact=1&r=ZTO,ZTA,ZTR,ZTM&v=Marshmallow(Android+6.0.1)&rpp=15
Other than taking it to a local repair shop and see if they can flash the correct stock firmware, I'm out of ideas.

well I think I should also say this but really and truly was never really the boot logo of my carrier. Since the beginning, it was just the samsung logo. still try the brazilian firmware or try something else?
