Root I lost /system/sbin

Hi !, Today, for the first time I rooted my phone.
My phone is Galaxy A7 (SM-A700L)
Unfortunately I removed /system/sbin (I have no idea about what makes /system/sbin removed) and I don't know what files existed in there. Because I have busybox and toolbox most commands seem available though.
How can I recover /system/bin ?
Can custom recovery or custom ROM recover /system/sbin ?
 
Hello!
sbin? I only know of /bin and /xbin.
First thing that comes to my mind is to find a stock rom for your device, carrier, android version and download it to your computer.
Unzip the rom and find the folder you need. Transfer it to your phone memory, and use a root file exlplorer such as Root Explorer to move it to the appropriate location, set permissions and reboot.
If possible, make a nandroid backup first just in case something wonky happens ;)
 
Glad you got it sorted - you did the right thing, when in doubt stop and ask.

So many bricks could have been saved if everyone just did what you did.

Let's put a bow on this one. :)
