what exactly are you doinng? which image are you flashing?

post out exactly what you were trying to do..and exactly how you did it..that way we can figure out where you went wrong and help you bro
 
When Odin fails heimdall should do trick. Need right version and know how to use. Odin simpler for everyday flashing but heimdall pretty much guaranteed to work. Confirm it supports prevail but all galaxy are so idk why it wouldn't
 
basically the story behind what happened....

i rooted my phone.
got rid of my default launcher and used adw.
and my phone got factory reset.
it had no default launcher, so it wont boot all the way now.


ill post the steps ive taken on trying to fix it later.
