Firstly watch your language and secondly what Rom did you flash?

What system is your Pc using? Is your bootloader unlocked?

ok sorry, I didnt downloaded a custom ROM but I was Using the official rom for my device (it was 4.3) I Rooted it and downloaded plenty of things, i saw one app called pimp my rom so I installed it, it says that I needed to install custom.ini file or something like that to start to install things like new drivers for my device and it just needed to reboot to aply these settings, i did but after that it isnt working, its like booting automatically everytime, and stuck on the T mobile loader,how i could save it? im on windows 7, i got all the drivers and the ftf files but i just want to repair it or its possible to install a custom rom like this? what do you recommend? if isnt possible just help me to repair this

Because you are rooted and your bootloader is locked means that official programs won't work for you so you need to follow this guide in this link - Ignore the title but do download and decrypt the firmware you would like to use, using Flashtool, or find and download a pre-made stock Rom and skip to Flashing with Flashtool
