Just flash a stock firmware and you should be fine.

Stock firmware does not flashes via Odin, doesn't works.

Make sure you have exited Kies before you flash as this will screw up the flash...
I'm assuming your tablet isn't rooted? If so a custom rom won't flash anyway as the signature verification will stop it...
If you have got root then flash TWRP, load a custom rom onto your sd card and flash that....

I can flash anything except official firmware, Custom ROM's does not work, I think it is MMC damage or bootloader, I dont know what it is.

You need to know what firmware you were on and what the highest firmware you tried to flash was as this will affect what you can and can't flash...
Again, make sure you have exited Kies as this will affect the flash...

[Q] eXistenZ v2 Error 7

Hi guys i have a problem when I instaling the eXistenZ v2 on LT26. I rooted my phone i have recovery and when i install a rom have error nr 7 in revovery, any ideas?
Flash the kernel file from the rom itself
Try flashing the kernel from the rom itself bro this works most of the time Extract it first from the zip file of the ROM you want to install then install the kernel usually it is the boot.img file Flash it via fastboot mode using flashtool then voila you have the kernel of the ROM you want to use and most of the time the recovery comes with it too :good:

Are You on stock firmware? Existenz requires You to be on stock 6.2.b.1.96 firmware. Also, You have to flash v1 and then flash v2, not the v2 directly.

Do check, this ROM is stock based, so it doesn't have a separate kernel.
I flashed witth stock 6.2.b.1.96, and try to flash V1 witch recovery v6.0.3.0 but still error ''Error in /sdcard/xperia_s_existenz_v1.zip (status 7)'' Maybe try with other kernel?

Huh, weird. Just to verify, could You try downloading the v1 again? Or else, do You have a unlocked bootloader? If yes, then You can flash the DoomKernel.
Yes, i downloaded rom again, and i have lock bootloader witch no posibly to unlock 'allowed-no'' something like this, but this rom can be flash without unlocked bootloader.

Well, since You have a locked bootloader, You can't flash other kernels. Try this recovery, If even this one doesn't work, then try going back to full stock(no root, no recovery) and root using DoomLord's method and try above recovery again as it had worked for Me earlier.

This is waaaay late but, may help someone.
As I understand it, this is an issue with the kernel/recovery you have. You need to flash a boot.img with a combined kernel/recovery that is compatible with the rom you wish to flash. You use fastboot for that:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
So, for official CM11, grab boot.img from the rom zip file and you should get (a rather old but fine for CM11) CWM recovery.
For many other Acro S (hikari) roms you find - e.g. @deedwar's BeanStalk - you will get TWRP recovery if you flash the included boot.img file.
Once you've got the kernel/recovery flashed, then you flash the full rom after the reboot.

I think You didn't notice, but He said He has locked bootloader. So He cannot follow the procedure You mentioned.

Yes, this is for unlocked bootloader only.
Just noticed OP mentions a locked bootloader in a later post.

Help sim not showing

Guys i need some help ASAP,today i installed a custom rom[Lineage 15] on my a5 520F and my sim card is not showing up,what can i do?
Please help me!!:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Dis you flashed the oreo bootloader and radio first?'cause i think you may have the nougat ones
It's probably caused by an incompatible bootloader and modem. If you just want to get it working again then probably best thing to do is find your original firmware (on Sammobile, Updato etc) and reflash it with the correct version of Odin.
If you still want to get Lineage 15 to work and you're sure you flashed the right ROM for the correct phone then you can try flashing the Oreo bootloader and modem (Lineage 15 is based on Oreo). There's a thread here with bootloaders and modems: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...to/ref-modems-bootloaders-collection-t3799551
Ok , so first i need to go to recovery and make a full wipe then go to download mode and install the bootloader and modem and then install the custom rom trough recovery??

Rom process

Whats the process to flashing a custom rom on the pixel devices? i read something about having to flash stock first?

Your bootloader, radio and vendor should match whatever ROM you want to flash.
Basically you should flash and boot March stock first, set up and set pin
Download rom, twrp installer zip
Remove screen lock pin
Fastboot boot (twrp.img)
Factory reset
Flash rom + twrp installer
Reboot system
If you want to flash a 9 based ROM like carbonrom you'll have to format userdata and flash and boot August factory image then repeat the steps above
Either way you should learn the fastboot commands and do things manually, it comes in handy updating both slots if needed.
oh yea i got it figured out! now, if i go back to stock from a custom rom, using the stock March image, will i still get OTA updates or will i need to flash through the OTA images that are provided?

You'll need to relock your bootloader, just make sure you're full stock on both slots or you will brick your phone. I personally don't think it's worth the risk and just update through twrp or fastboot
