Soft-Bricked phone (SM-9005, OS: 4.4.2), problem with /system

So :) Hello everyone, i got interesting problem...

I bricked my phone :)

Phone: SM-9005
OS: Android 4.4.2
Recovery: TWRP 3.0 installed.
Root software installed which may be interesting "Xposed Additions, Lucky Patcher, SuperSu, Greenify"

Step by step.

I used Root Browser (com.jrummy.root.browserfree) to copy 2 directories from my /downloads to /system.

There were /lib & /bin which contained unique libs and one executable so this would not affect system if everything went ok, but i didn't :)

After i started coping, root explorer asked me that "File already exist, overwrite or make a copy"? i pressed overwrite, in same second all apps in android started to generate "unexpected error", i tried to reboot and got boot into recovery :)


after i watched /system i found that what i tried to copy actually copied not to /system/lib & /system/app but to /system/system/lib & /system/system/app.

So i think there was some folder or file called system in /system directory which was overwritten. Or any kind of problem with dir / file permissions.

Any ideas of how to fix this / what was in /system/system / where to get bootlog to find after what "kernel panic" takes place or any other help? :)

Thanks.
