Root SM-G360P Recovery Issues

I recently rooted this phone using Odin. I installed luckypatcher. I patched Magic 2015, and had access to all in app purchases. I tried this same process on Clash of Clans. This is where I ran into my problems. After making an in app purchase I came across an issue. The purchase icon was frozen. Everything worked fine. So upon trying to fix this issue, I uninstalled the game. Didn't work, I cleared data from my play store, and from google play games. Upon doing this I somehow messed up where I couldn't even sign into google without receiving a network not responding, check connection issue. I then decide to factory restore the entire phone and restore with titanium update. I did this process using the restore phone to factory condition. This didnt fix my issue. Now I want to install the original framework with odin. I am sure this will fix it, yet when i go into ODIN mode, custom recovery. . .My choices are now scrambled, I cannot see any of the works in custom recovery. I have no idea what im doing. Is there any way to restore my entire phone without using custom recovery to factory condition, i want to remove the root and all changes I have made to this phone.

The current screen under recovery has about 5 blurred out options, the first one when I hit my power button one time makes the phone restart into normal mode. My phone actually works fine beside the part not being able to sign into google, and custom recovery being scrambled.


UPDATE, Was able to get Odin to work. I dont know how, but after rebooting my phone many times while Odin was connected I was able to flash the original firmware, then flashed the rooted firmware. Im back in business, able to access google accounts. Yet just tried rebooting phone in recovery mode and its still scrambled? Any idea's why? It wont bother me, the phone is rooted, and all rooted apps are working fine. I noticed it when trying to flash firmware from sd through xposed app. It wouldn't work that way, I had to switch the install to normal, phone rebooted and it was installed. Any ideas why recovery mode words are scrambled? I cannot nagivate though it. I do know the option 2 out of 5 is factory restore lol, learned that the hard way. Option 1 is normal startup.

SM-G360P Prevail LTE with boost mobile. Sorry about mentioning the patcher, wont happen again. My only problem now is when entering custom recovery, cant read text, i can move up and down and select what I want, but i have no idea what I am selecting. I think it has to do with the version of CWM i put on there originally. It wasnt for my exact phone, it might have been for the prevail 2. After flashing I did not re-install anything and still had the same problem. Seems hard to find any roms for this exact phone.

You can download the STOCK roms for the 360p here and use Odin to flash it.

I would love to figure out how to dig into the two BIN files in the stock rom and create a pre-rooted version...

EDIT - I had my phone rooted before the updates last month, I used King Root (the apk, not the PC version) and it worked fine for most things, tho it installed the root in /bin and not /xbin as most apps expect)
