Before you go flashing ROMs you need to have a better understanding as to what you are actually doing. ROMs don't come in APK format, that's only for Android applications. To flash a ROM you'd first need to be rooted, then you need to install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, then you flash the ZIP for the ROM in recovery.

Best course of action is to check out the XDA forums, look for your phone, and perform a "back to stock" method.

Why can't you fix it? Did you try returning it to stock using the methods on XDA? Did you at least try a hard reset?

It restores the factory software to your phone. If you messed up your phone while rooting, usually this is the fix, unless it's a hard brick which doesn't appear to be in this case as it's stuck on the boot screen.

Go on XDA, search for your phone, and look for a thread on how to return your phone to stock.

You can't search for generic instructions, you need one specific to your exact phone as you need to download factory images and software specific to that phone. Look at the link I posted above, that will tell you how to return it to stock.

Assuming you do have the Samsung Galaxy Prevail.
