You've got your Ethereum and transfer to another Ethereum wallet or not?

That's impossible if you are correctly using or installed from the official site of MetaMask browser wallet but if not, say goodbye to your Ethereum because you are might the one who being phished by the scammers, they spotted and reported that they used Google ads for their fraudulent activities using fake chrome extensions.

See these links.

I got my Ethereum but after some days my Metamask was crashed. I don't know why and there was a fix/repair option on it. I tried to click the repair option but unfortunately, My Metamask restarted and everything was deleted. I tried to use same JASON File but didn't work and my Ethereum went lost.

You can try to use mycrypto.com desktop wallet to access your JSON file https://download.mycrypto.com/

What you need to do to access your JSON file through clicking on the keystore file and then enter your password. If you are doing it correctly and then you will be able to access your wallet.
You should not try to access it through metamask again. You can also do this offline as mycrypto.com was a desktop wallet.

It's a JSON file mate. Other than your json file, haven't you saved your wallet's mnemonic recovery phrases? If it's still json file, you just have to use another wallet provider that is accepting it to recover your wallet. As suggested above, mycrypto and if it's still not yet working, you may try MEW.

With the JSON, you need the password if its encrypted to unlock the wallet. Your statements are too vague to come to any conclusion as to what happened on your side.

MEW allows the JSON to be uploaded and the password opened to access the wallet - although this is the least secure methods. Metamask needs you to do something else than just this.

Makes no sense to me, it might be something new that happened to you because I have never heard anything similar or my facts are lacking.

Possible that you might have installed a rogue version of metamask (??) - do provide more information as to whether you downloaded the correct metamask extension and your ethereum wallet address to check on the money.

First ensure that the passphrase or password you used to encrypt the JSON file is the correct one. If it's the correct one and it's still not working, then there is also a chance that your JSON file was corrupted.

The big question is did you copy and back up your mnemonic phrase somewhere?
Minus the mnemonic phrase or access to the JSON file then your Ether is as good as gone.

It's look like you are using fake app if the ethereum lost in your wallet can you drop your wallet address so we can check where they transfer the ethereum from your wallet.

Instead of metamask why not try to open it first to other wallet using your private key and check there is still balance on your wallet. And also give us link in metaask the wallet you use or where you downloaded it.

Don't panic, you have more than one JASON file downloaded in your device so I suggest you to locate to the right one and import it again or otherwise it could be that it has corupted from your device.

It happens when
1. Json file was corrupted
2. the font file was named in another language where the wallet can't read it.

just checking the code in the JSON file using notepad or notepad++ maybe there had something wrong inside. be careful don't show up the code here.

I think first he needs to check the wallet transaction history using ethereum explorer which may give a clear idea that this app downloaded was a clone version or the legit ones. And also even if we have JSON file it maybe encrypted with password so either he used the wrong file or password that is also maybe another cause why he can't access the wallet.
