(SOLVED) Xperia Z internal storage FULLY WIPED (everything)

So this is what happened:
I wanted to flash a custom rom on my xperia Z.
I did what i have to do like unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a custom recovery.
I already downloaded my desired custom rom. When I entered into custom recovery I wiped everything as in everything under the Wipe menu of TWRP. After that I went to reboot to recovery. Unfortunately the phone did not reboot anymore. Just stucked at the sony logo. Now it cannot go to fastboot, flashmode or custom recovery. My computer cannot detect the phone as well.
Is there any way that I can still flash rom into my phone with the above situation?
Any help is much appreciated. Tia!

Are u sure you've installed the correct drivers (fastboot, flashmode, adb)? If so, fastboot any custom kernel (with recovery) and you'll have recovery.
You wiped system, but I assume you had xzdualrecovery installed, and since it installs in system you lose recovery after wiping system and reboot.
Kernel with recovery is best option, you can safely wipe since kernel does not get wiped (only overwritten by rom or other kernel)
Hi langveld! Thank you for your reply..But i cannot go into fastboot.. Will it still do?

i guess you can only use the flashtools now, first try selecting kernel only for flashing without wiping anything. And if that doesnt work, then you have to flash the whole firmware. try holding vol down when connecting, i got into fastboot mode like that last time. good luck

cant flash stock EVA L636B361

I rooted the device. And decided again to unroot it so i flash recovery.img and lock bootloader. But when i open it again it wipe my system apps. No camera no keyboard etc. i downloaded the stock c636b361 firmware. But using DLOAD wont flash it. Even on twrp. On dload i use stock recovery but still it always says software failed. Any suggestions? I already wipe cache partition and factory reset it. But still the same.

Help needed to unbrick phone?

Phone won't mount system, cache, data in twrp. Hence cannot wipe nor install a new os. Tried using sp flash tools to install stock firmware . Even though it showed success. Nothing got installed... The phone still boots into the somehow currupt resurrectionremix (which is always stuck in bootloop). And at times the twrp mounts the system and data but of no avail to wipe those partitions. Please help
Did install necessary drivers, mine also got bricked but somehow recovered from flashtool
Try to flash this firmware K50a40_S112_150610_ROW using sp flashtool.

Huawei p9 bricked EVA-l19

Hi, i managed to brick my p9 eva-l19, i was having the stock rom with the latest update, bootloader unlocked, twrp, rooted and i managed to brick him by wiping all. Now all it does is entering in bootloader mode, recovery (twrp) and that's it. I downloaded the stock rom with the latest update, put the update.app on an sdcard but it doesn't work in download mode, the update is not made, error.
What i have to do to unbrick my phone? i'm sure this question has been asked a lot of times but i didn't find a good answer.
When you downloaded the stock rom you got a update.zip and a full_data.zip (or something along these lines). Just Install them via TWRP ( VERY IMPORTANT: first update.zip and then full_data.zip). after that go back and wipe chache and dalvik, then go in the main menu of twrp and klick on reboot and then on recovery. You should boot into stock recovery where you need to wipe cache and do a factory reset. You should boot into stock firmware

My k20 pro isnt booting up

I tried installing custom rom for the first time now i did it with xiaomitool but it gave error that it couldnt wipe data and my phone stuck on boot.
Then on my phone i booted to twrp and frm there i wiped dalvik cache and data with a wrappedkey error but i continued and flashed pixel exp plus and formatted data and when i rebooted system i again got stuck there
Then once again i went to twrp and tried wiping dalvik cache and data again but this time with wrappedkey amd some decrypted error to and formated data and then tried rebooting to system. Again nothing worked pls help my otherwose my parents are going to kill me
EDIT : Also my laptop has mac os so i think there isnt much i could do with pc and thats only why i used unofficial xiaomitool in the first place
If youre coming from xiaomi rom or xiaomi eu rom you need to format data ( option in twrp where you type yes) not just wipe data, then reboot to recovery (twrp) again and then follow instruction of rom you want to install. Some custom roms require flashing vendor firmware before flashing rom , then gapps , then magisk if you require root ( if magisk wont install then after flashing rom reboot to twrp again). Also xiaomitool is not ideal for installing custom rom but for recovery and fastboot roms ( one that came originally with phone when phone had locked bootloader, never tick wipe and lock)
Disregard my comment about xiaomitool, had thoght that you mean miflash tool
But how
That rom is not in my phone anymore nor i know how to install back to xiaomi rom btw my phone is indian varient
UPDATE
I once again tried flashing pixl exp plus using a diff tutorial which included flashing some disable force encryption and now my device wont even boot into twrp its stuck on fastboot mode.
Now i only hot two question :
1.) will i be able to charge my phone in fastboot mode (or any other way?)
2.) will i be able to flash stock miui rom in fastboot mode through my mac (or if theres any other way pls tell me)
Yes you will be able to charge through fastboot
Just flash twrp again thn boot into twrp and go to wipe - format data and type yes.
Until and unless you format data you will not be able to do anything
Thn download Indian vendor zip ,your required rom and disableforceencryption.zip in your pc and copy it to the phone while in twrp.
Go to wipe and wipe cache ,dalvik ,data,system,vendor
Thn flash vendor zip followed by rom and dfe
Now reboot
device is jusr stuck on fastboot

i did the sameexcept for vendor as i had latest miui but phone got stuck in fastboot and twrp is not accessible.
now what if i install official fastboot rom will it relock the bootloader and brick my phone for good?

Only if you forget to change the option in the Mi Flash Tool, which is easily done if you're not paying attention. If the fastboot ROM is the correct version for the phone then you won't brick the phone if you forget to change the flash option. You will just need to unlock the bootloader again before doing anything else.
After flashing a fastboot ROM, boot into MIUI once so that the install finalises itself.
Then flash TWRP and boot into TWRP.
Do a factory reset, then format data. No need to wipe anything else.
Reboot into TWRP to ensure the newly formatted data partition is properly mounted.
Now copy across and flash the ROM of choice plus any optional extras.
There is no need to flash dfe files or vbmeta, etc.
Assuming you've flashed the latest fastboot ROM, then there's no need to flash vendor or firmware files.
