I'd first start with a factory reset. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on.
If that doesn't help, then you can try recovering with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.
