Restore your TA backup if you have one
Or
Use flashtool.
Make sure you either flash a stock rom first or know how to recovery from a soft brick before you do it though
Thanks.
I have no Backup.
So i just have to flash old ftf with flashtool?

No, you use the relock bootloader function.
Flashing a FTF will make no difference tot he bootloader status at all

As far as i know, all custom roms require the device to be rooted, firts of all you need to root/unlock your phone, then install Recovery Application that would help you flash custom rom (Like ClockWordMod) and after that flash your custom rom.
Btw all that info is located on this forum for each and any Android phone regardless of brand and model (at least 90% of them).

AFAIK, Yes, unlocking the bootloader is the first step.

Yes you have to root your phone to root your phone you need to unlock bootloader than install recovery then you can install a custom ROM... You will find procedure in your device foram hopefully...
And rooting means to get Administrator privileges... I hope it helped.

If you are using cwm recovery it means your bootloader is already unlocked just put your desired rom zip file in sd card and then make a nandroid backup of your current rom.. You can make nandroid backup by going in cwm recovery and select backup and restore and follow the procedure..
After this do a factory reset and then install your rom....
I hope it helped.?

OK for anyone reading this I fixed it. I used the firmware restore, relock bootloader script from tomsgt. I put in the files needed for my phone but I'm not sure we're I got them.

A factory restore might solve this.

You can not unlock the bootloader,but you can root with towelroot or Stumproot.
You can Flash this Recovery
This Recovery works,but you can not save a Backup to External SD,only Internal Memory and Restore not working for me.
To flash a custom rom just need to root?

If you're running official 4.4.4 firmware (SU4-21/SU5-25/SU6-7) - you must downgrade first to SU3-15 cause that's only available way to get root. Or you can install alternative firmware like CyanogenMod cause you're lucky one and have unlocked bootloader.

With an unlocked boot loader all you have to do is flash twrp recovery then boot into recovery and when you exit it will ask if you want to install SU.
Here is a link to a tool others have used to flash twrp.
