Help Moved Samsung Galaxy J5 Firmware to SD card now no USB connection.

Hello all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy J500F. I rooted the device. While using SuperSU I transferred the Galaxy's system files (all files) to the sim card. After the transfer a dialog box popped up and asked me to restart the phone, so I did. Now the phone doesn't turn on, no flashing lights, no vibration, etc.

I also can't get into recovery mode. I've tried charging the phone via wall charger (I don't have the original phone cable) and nothing.

What did I do? I slightly tech savvy and can not figure out how to get a USB connection to at least flash a new ROM.

In need of help to restore my phone. Also, is my phone considered bricked?

Thanks in advance!
 
I'd honestly be surprised if this works since all the system files are no longer in the device but can you still get into download mode? If you can then flash some stock firmware.
 
Basically you moved all the firmware a place where it couldn't boot from, and if there's no recovery or anything in the phone now, it's bricked I think. JTAG might be possible, see if there's any YouTube videos on how to do this and what's required for Galaxy J5.

Nope! Can't get into download mode. Not sure if the battery is charging while plugged into the wall.
