Samsung Galaxy Core gets soft bricked please help!

I just bought my first android phone and I followed the guides here in for my Samsung Galaxy Core. I had successfully rooted and installed CWM recovery and then i followed the guide of installing Monster ROM. Being new to flashing i didn't know that i also need to unlock the bootloader and flashed without unlocking it and now my phone is soft bricked. I can just enter in Download Mode and whenever i flash with Stock ROM it gets failed at around 90%. Please help!
Remember : I didn't unlock boot loader.

You dont need to unlock bootloader if u have a retail galaxy core.. if ur flashing is getting failed at 90% try other pc or for last resort go visit service center

Thank you!

Thanks Siddhesh, it is working now. Actually i was using the wrong ODIN that is given here in CWM Flashing tutorial. But when i used ODIN3 v1.85 it flashed the stock rom right way.

soft brick,i think

While posting such thing you should provide much more & clear information for the people who would like to help you
1 what is ur device (32,33,GPE)
2 what was the base ROM
3 what kernel you flashed
I assume you are on stock ROM and flashed aosp kernel
Just flash any stock based kernel... Like faux or Aero kernel(search in development sections) your phone should be up and running

Please only post development threads in the development section
Questions belong in the Q&A section

You need to flash the 4.4.4 O2 UK firmware image available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54872143&postcount=362​
Alternatively flash the XT1032 Retail EU ROM available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688​

-i have a moto g x1032 with gpe software
-the stock GPE
-I I tried to flesh the aereo kernel
I wanted to flash another stock kernel but the problem is that: on the memory of the moto g I have no other kernel and not being able to turn I can not put new kernel in the memory

Power on holding 'vol' down. You can flash the original GPe boot.img (kernel) via this fastboot screen:
mfastboot flash boot boot.img​
FYI, from your screenshot you are attempting to flash the O2 UK 4.4.2 firmware image.

in the guide on xda was written that I could fleshare another software and I chose one at random because i could not find the italian software...what can i do ?
I lost the phone forever or can i unlock it?

You have to unroot before you can apply the OTA.

Hi there,
I recommend that you follow these instructions.
Firstly , try flashing the recovery.img from the stock rom files. If that does not work , try re locking your boot loader.
As a last resort fully flash the correct stock rom to your device using fastboot. You can also use my Motorola Toolkit program to automate this process . If you look at the Moto g forums , scroll down on the general section , and look for Motorola toolkit. Download it and place the stock files in the directory as the toolkit . Then run toolkit.py and select flash stock . It should also be under Moto g 3 Tools and Utilities.
If you found this post helpful , please hit the thanks button . It really does mean alot to me !
Don't hesitate to ask for further information

It is trying to flash with RSD Lite other firmware or Moto Fastboot but first I get the error for flashing firmware two files that are " motoboot " and " recovery"
But all other files firmware is flashed correctly and mini droid starts again restarted with the same software version 4.2.2 android . As if nothing rewrite

The Moto Nexus 6

sunshine apk version 3.2.7 ( ultimate ) does not install the mini droid
Try with an old version
Some other suggestions ? (Friends?)

Hi
This is somewhat complicated
If I try to flash firmware " CFC_obakem_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7.3-release-keys.xml.zip "
Result: Not flashing "motoboot.img", " recovery.img"
But I found the firmware " obake_verizon-user-4.2.2-12.9.0Q2.X-160-OBK_TA-14-7-7-release-keys-CFC.xml.zip " this can correctly flash " motoboot " etc.
Result: Actually flashing not overwrite the old firmware mini droid ( That is android 4.2.2)
I want to know
How is that possible flash and overwrite the old firmware?
Note
-No bootloader unlocked
-I can not install sunshine ( in 4.2.2 )
-The Page will not let me unlock motorola current
The typical : Your divice does not qualify

I think your mini is an early factory one whose BL is 30.30 ,&it cant be flashed to 30.70 or later (I have compared the bootloader version between 12.9.0Q2.X-160-OBK_TA-14-7 & laters ,they are not Compatibled,you will see the MPRG8960.HEX is diffirent in mbm-ci folders.)

[H960A] Short story with possible unbrick method for some people

Hi. Everyone.
Recently i "hard" bricked my V10 h960a . Which boot-looped few months before however i was able to fix it using tutorial below :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/v10-bootloop-fix-lengthens-life-t3694064
Using phone with 4 cores instead of 6 is not a big deal , so everything was fine until i deiced to Reset my phone to default. Phone boot-looped again and even after flashing boot.img (modified 4 cores) in fastboot there was no difference, no Recovery nothing. So i went to DOWNLOAD mode which was working fine in my phone but PC didnt see it at all, ( i had checked it on all possible laptops, cables etc ) . So re-locking boot-loader, flashing original firmware wasn't option for me. I had flashed TWRP , but i couldn't find FLASHABLE ZIP with H960A soft.
In desperation i start flashing whatever i had found on XDA DEV FORUM , flashable soft for T-MOBILE etc ( even when was not recommended )
So after good few hours of studying i made it !!! I had cooked my first flashable ROM in TWRP using ASSAYYED_KITCHEN_V1.82_STABLE .
I had to extract H960A30b_00_0616 KDZ FILE , to get system.img, i already had boot.img from the very 1st link in this post.
After flashing my STOCK ROM in TWRP, everything was fine until i boot to the system, i couldn't pass step after choosing the NETWORK ( wifi or mobile ) i was getting FORCE CLOSE windows popup with GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES , anyway i got this solved too
So if anyone looking for flashable zip for H960A Android Nougat 7.0 ( H960A30b_00_0616.kdz ) with 4 cores boot image, just let me know or i might open another post with tutorial.
PS. there is option to get DEODEXED, ROOTED, BUSYBOX etc stock rom but i dindt try it

anything about f600l

If you have working TWRP , flashable zip is an option for you. It did work for me
