hello guys. I have a problem , yesterday my phone could boot up. So i decided to check it out. I pressed volume up , centre button and power button , it opened that menu , i tried to hard reset that. There was a fail like "failed to mount /cache(invalid argument) and i could do any of the choises of the recovery menu. So i thought that i have to install the firmware of the phone again (i have samsung galaxy j5-smj500f). I found the right firmware from sammobile.com and i installed it with odin3. After the installation i am trying any button combination but i won't turn on. Any solutions ?

Probably a soft brick. Try reflashing the firmware. Use the same key combination you used to enter into flashing mode and even if the screen doesn't show anything keep trying key combinations to boot into flashing mode.

Make sure you have the correct firmware for your country and model.
