Help Please. Soft-Bricked Device

Hello all!
I recently flashed the 4.16.xx firmware to my device. I am now stuck on the Bliss Rom bootscreen for some reason. Booting into recovery takes me to stock recovery and the phone isn't being recognized through ADB on several different PC's.
Am I screwed here? Any options?
Thanks for any input.

Try going into the fastboot option from the hboot (or called bootloader to many people. To get to hboot, do power and volume down when the phone is booting up. ) and try flashing your TWRP recovery from there. Also make sure your drivers are working.
If you don't know how to flash recovery just Google it, you should be fine.
Dw, dont panic, it'll be fine xD

Stock recovery is the logical result for flashing firmware, unless the firmware was hacked to remove stock recovery.
adb not working, is also normal. You need to be in OS or recovery to use adb commands (and I don't know whether you can with stock recovery). adb does not work in bootloader.
If you flashed an official firmware with s-on, then not boot is also the expected result.
You need to unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP back onto the phone, and flash a ROM.

Hey thanks for the reply!
I figured it out finally and forgot to update the post. I ended up finding and flashing a Lollipop RUU from the SDcard and that got me booted up. Then I just had to re-flash TWRP, re-root and flash a new rom.
All is well now. Thanks for trying to help out.

Is there any way to fix a phone when the boot loader is not unlocked

So recently my phone stop booting and i have looked everywhere to find it but i have not been able to see anything that works for me. When i try to flash twip it says it doesn't have the permission to do so. i tried resting in stock recovery.... nothing and so i tried sideloading the asus roms still nothing and im just at a stump here i cant even send it back because it has a tiny scratch on the back if anyone could help it would be very appreciative

Before you sideload the rom,your recovery must be same version with the rom you sideload or the flash will fail.
Flash the recovery first which you can find at rom you attemp to sideload in the zip.

ill try this thanks

Can't Sideload or Flash Stock OS Anymore

Hi guys, I'm currently on the Experience ROM and for some odd reason, I cannot get back to stock OS. Either the Beta or the official releases. I tried sideloading through ADB with stock and twpr but both fail to do so, I get an error saying cannot load then the zip name. If I flash stock OS via team win, it just constantly reboots into recovery and never actually loads the OS. As of right now, I can only get experience ROM to run. Not sure what to do at this point or what I'm doing wrong. Pls halp.

Use the mega unbrick guide thats in the forum.
If you need help with that we can do some kind of remote session.

You might have a problem with the adb version. Get latest version from android developer's website

Wipe System, Data, all the crapp then flash it if it still boots into recovery then flash the stock one. If it boots fine u can flash back twrp.

Also did u change to f2fs and what version of twrp r u on

Help! TWRP recovery is dead

Hey all,
i had an older version of twrp recovery, and tried to flash the new one from here:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
i opened poweshell from adb folder as usual while device is on fastboot mode, and used the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-dumpling.img
It said "wrting...finished" in powshelll, but when entered recovery - nada, black screen of death.
then i tried flashing older version of twrp in the same way - and still go the same outcome =\
I currenly dont have ROM as well - so practically the phone is uselss. please guys, i need you're help!

Flash stock recovery and stock FW via ADB. If that doesn't work, try one of the dozen recovery tools on this forum.

Tried to flash OrangeFox and BluSpark recoveries, same issue =\
im running out of ideas here guys =(

Just managed to install stock recovery, and downloaded latest 9.0.10 OTA from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-7-2-7-1-1-ota-t3709265
used LAA on adb.exe, and ran "adb sideload OOS.zip" while OTA zip is inside adb folder.
gives me "cannot read" error in powershell.
can someone tell me WTF is going on? how tf its even possible????
