Flashed today my GT-I9000 to TO froyo I897UCJI6. I know i should not have done that now. But i really got pissed today at the gps of my phone and when i saw and update for galaxy s i just went for it, haven't checked the phone variant version. Thing is now my phone has no gps whatsoever it boots up fine but, sound only shows when i plug my headphones, accelerometer dont work correctly and so on....
So i though i`ll flash it back to stock. But the thing is once i connect the usb cable the phone just reboots and stays dead until the usb is disconnected.
I read the other threads but found no similar issues.
Here is a brief video of my problem

since i can`t post links
Anyone has any ideas how to get me back to stock?
Thanks!!
Damn i can`t even charge it!
Kinda weird indeed, try to remove the battery, wait a little, insert the battery and go to download mode (volume - / home / power) then start odin, put all files needed, and connect the usb, if it doesnt reboot hit start...
you got to enable adb debugging on your phone then open a command window and type: adb reboot download connect the usb to the phone and hit the enter key for the adb command before your phone fall asleep, then you are in download mode an can flash any rom with odin.
hope this helps, i flashed the same wrong firmware from the Vibrant.
Thanks Franklin, i tried the battery trick to no luck.
This is i cannot put my phone back to download mode because my "HOME" button is not mapped to do anything, seems like the "RETURN ARROW" button does the fuction when the system is loaded.
Any other ways to flash it back? Sd card or something?
Thanks for replies ;]
please try it my way it worked for me and i think it will work for you
I open the cmd navigate to c:\androidsdk\tools\ type in adb reboot download hit enter, it mounts daemon tools i plug in usb cable and 3 seconds later the phone goes blank and it stays unresponsive(no 3 key combination, not even the power button can turn it back on) i unplug the usb cable and the phone automaticaly shows the AT&T logo and starts up. The same happens when i plug my charger in!. Does that mean my SGS usb port is fried or something? Is there another way to flash my pnoe back to stock ROM?
I am so sorry i tried to make it better :[
Any clues?
no this is NOT a defective phone, its the result of the ROM and the 3 Button combo can´t work oh and you dont really mean deamon tools? and you musst plug the usb cable in the phone right before you hit enter or it can´t work!
I did that too. Like i said the phone turns it self off once the usb cable is attached.

dainiuxxx, this thread belongs in the Q&A section, not in development. Take a moment and read the "STOP, READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" thread at the top of both of these sections, it has clear guidelines for proper thread placement.
Sorry for that sirphukee.
Any help? Anyone?
Anyone that can help?
have you tried plugging it into another PC or Laptop?
Yup tried amothe laptop, reboot.
Wall charger, reboot.
So i`m kinda out of options?
yes, return it to the store, to get an exchange
a normal working SGS does not reboot when plugged into any USB port/charger
it's Shorted (damaged) for some reason
ok, return sounds good to me, but what will i have to say when they`ll switch on the phone and see the AT&T logo?
I`m in UK and my network is Orange UK.
Will they accept it back with no problems, i kinda doubt that....
uhh... you are in quite a pickle ...
try to remove the evidence, intentionally use a Update.zip ROM flash to kill the flash
or flash it to stock if you find a good ROM via Update.zip
use the WiFi to download the Update.zip ROM flash to the root of the internal SD to flash it.
ROM Manager can get the same results, you can WiFi install it from Market

Installed ROM manager from market, but seems it needs the phone rooted, right?
And rooting can be done only via usb cable, right?
Where do i find a Update.zip ROM via Wifi? and what are the procedures when i do find it?
OK,
so obviously the question now is HOW DO I F...k up my phone completely so no one could see what was done to it. When i`ll take it back to the shop.

you can ROOT the phone within the phone itself
by downloading Ryzaa One click lag fix from the market
instead of installing the lag fix, select the option to ROOT the phone
Same issue here. Amazing how easy it is to mess this phone up when you are really stupid. Oh well....
Tried the one click lag fix to root it, but cannot find a way to get into download or recovery mode. Tried every button combo I have seen suggested, but either gets stuck in a loop on the AT&T screen or just boots into the OS.
At the moment I feel my only option if we cannot find a way to get into download mode is to format the internal SD card and send it back to o2 (my provider), tell them it fried when Kies tried to do an update, cross my fingers and hope they send me a new one.
K so like an idiot i deleted framework-res, and now my phone turns on to a black screen. I've tried to reflash it with odin and odin 1 click, but it always gets stuck at "file analysis". I don't get why because I used odin 1 click to install froyo in the first place so I know it works.
Anyway, I have no idea what to do, as I can't get any files on or off my phone because ADP will always say the device is not connected.
if its stuck at file analysis keep fiddling until it goes past that for instance plug in into download mode with it open and then unplug and replug it in. just keep trying.
i've been trying for hours... rebooting.. reinstalling.. everything. it won't get past File Analysis...
Are you trying to use the odin 1click to flash back to jf6? That might work.

nope, still hangs at File Analysis
i have done the same and now back up i used an old odin to go back to original stock and then updated to froyo after. If you can use sdk adb reboot recovery and fromat your sd card then try odin again this worked for me
maybe try restarting computer. make sure you dont have anything adb related running. pull battery. start odin one click. put battery back in. hold vol-up and down at same time(just the vol. buttons no power) plug in usb from comp. to your phone while you still have the vol. buttons held. should be in download mode. click start.
and if you wanna try pushing a new framework, i guess you could try to boot into recovery and adb should see it then as debugging mode is auto on in recovery mode. let us know.

Are you using 64 bit Windows 7? I am and had a similar problem. On my original attempts to flash my phone with earlier versions of Cognition, I learned that if you don't disable the lagfix, you can have a problem. Assuming you used one I hope you disabled it. I also used odin 1-click at the time and it didn't work terribly well, mostly due to the voodoo lagfix ext4 filesystem.
Secondly, I've also found that it's best to go into download mode using the following method:
I do a battery pull, remove sim and sdcard (if you have one), put battery back in. Make sure your USB cable is plugged into a USB port on the motherboard, not one of those front USB ports (they sometimes don't get enough juice, you wouldn't want the device to disconnect in the middle of a flash). Hold volume up/down and plug in the USB cable. Odin one click should recognize the phone is hooked up to a COM port. At that point, you click the start button and it flashes. It should not take more than 1-2 minutes to flash. If Odin looks like it it is not working, rather it sits at Verifying or does not actually move at a brisk pace, it's not going to work. You can let it sit for hours and it will never flash. If this happens, do the battery pull and try again. My first time doing this was rather nerve wracking as i thought i bricked my phone. Had the screen with the phone/exclamation mark/computer and the computer did not detect my phone via USB. I've seen people who say reinstalling the Samsung drivers or rebooting the computer or switching USB ports might help as well.
Ever since i figured out the above, i've been able to flash my Captivate on Win 7 64bit without a hitch. Currently running the latest build of Cognition 2.2 and loving it.
I've done all of the above and Odin hangs on Verifying, ADB gives the same error message on every "ADB" command : "error: device offline: (while in recovery mode)
My computer/Odin does recognize that it's plugged in, but it won't mount and let me into the SD card or format it, etc.

You should post what you did to fix it in case someone has the same issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes he should.
What did you do to fix it? Do tell.
10 bucks says he succeeded once he read the directions properly.
Reading is hard, that is why so few people do it.
Same exact thing happened to to me 2 days ago. All I did was:
1)take the battery and SIM card out, wait a few seconds,
2)run Odin3 on my PC and hookup the USB cable to the phone while still off
3) hold both Volume buttons down while phone is off and connected
3)at the same time, slide in the battery with 1 finger or have someone do it
4)keep volume keys held down as the battery is installed and my phone turned on straight into download mode
5) phone pops up in Odin3 and just click Start, flashed to stock JH6
I am 80% sure I wasn't holding the power button while holding the Vol keys. If that doesn't work above ^^^ hold all 3 buttons and it should go into download mode.
so.. I fubard framework.apk trying to get teh circle battery mod on my phone (it just hung forever and *poof* black screen o' nothing after I pulled the battery)
So.. I'm following the directions but windows keeps finding the phone as some type of crazy serial device and is asking for drivers ... so I'm fux0red methinks.
Any help is appreciated - but I think I did a real number on this thing.
Ok... these are the steps I've done.
Shutdown the device.
Pulled battery, Sim, SD Card.
Popped the battery back in.... didn't power it up.
Turned on Odin3
Popped the USB cable into the phone while holding both volume buttons.
I get the lil triangle.
... then I get a windows message stating "SERIAL GADGET" and the XP wizard comes up looking for drivers. It doesnt find anything of course.
So.. I rinse and repeat and it can't find the device.
So what am I missing o wise XDA folks?

Have you searched for the drivers and installed them on your xp machine?
I'm still a noob so I'm not sure of it will help.
Please though, once you get it sorted please post your solution here for the benefit of those whip comer after you.

Get the right drivers if you havent already and find the USB port that works. Post 8 above is very good. On my netbook, only one of the three usb ports works for the captivate, i've marked it since with a happy face.
Ok.. at home now on my Win7 machine - all is good in Odin restore land...
Except - I flash using the Odin 1 Click and still boot to a black screen.
I think because I had the Voodoo lagfix on it - it won't format correctly and load the rest of the ROM onto the SDCard
Hi has uploaded ICS 3333, and it worked for a few weeks then today when it in airplane mode I took it out my pocket and it was in a bootloop mode.
Samsung --> Semaphore
So decided that I would retry installing ICS starting with 2.3.6 using ODIN but it crapped out, and now it's only allowing me to go into download mode. It said failed, retried a few times but I did not record the exact error (aaah)
As it is allowing me to get to download mode thought that would be ok, but when I connect it to the PC, it is not recognised at all now. So ODIN does not seem to work..
Im sure you are going to say just install a specific driver or something, but I don't what it would be. The PC recognised the mobile earlier, but just not now.
Update: Now the Phone is fully dead, and does not appear to be charging at all. So maybe dead because the battery is flat.
I've updated ROm's a few time's and always had the recovery mode to recover things and even have the USB item which should allow to move into download.
Any idea's folks.
thanks in advance... Bill
I was following this initially
1st Install this - this flashes Andoid 2.3.6 first
I downloaded I900XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Then Switch it Off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S in “Download Mode” — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power until a screen saying ‘Download Mode’ comes up.
Open Odin (from step 5) — Odin3 v1.7.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get “Added! !” message, than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed (links given above under heading ‘Pre-Installation thoughts’).
Now, in Odin, select these files at respective tabs (for visual help, see the screenshot at step 11 below):
a) Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (from step 3.1)
b) Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5 (from step 3.3)
c) Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5 (from step 3.2)
d) Click the PIT Tab, and select s1_odin_20100512.pit (from step 2)
Make sure the ‘Re-Partition’checkbox in ODIN is selected. Also, Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes should be selected too. Leave everything else on Odin untouched.
Double check everything said in step 10 and 11 above. Your Odin’s screen, after selecting all the files and ticking and not-ticking the checkboxes, should look like this:
Screen capture can be found at weblink
Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your phone will automatically reboot, upon which you can unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. ***I got a fail here***
read that kies is different from usb drives. Not 100% sure that would be the issue as could connect previously with ODIN, which I think means the drivers are ok.
Next question that I have, if the battery has gone flat, and it does not appear to be charging either with USB or wall mounted, where do I go from here...
Im not a total newbie, and have been on DarkyRom for most of the versions, just this boot loop has got me big style... Can anyone give me a few idea's of what to try...
You might try a direct battery charger for which you won't need your battery to be in phone and one charged you can try the usual things as flashing through odin.
Try to install another driver..since i use ics for my sgs..pc wont recognise my phone..i install s2 or nexus driver ( mtb driver ) and it works perfectly as before..
If you have flashed ICS then you will need to install the GNexus drivers that are contained here
Try and get your hands on a external charger as erpurohit has suggested or borrow a friends battery
Flashing back to stock or Darky's 10.2 should get your phone going again
Thanks folks for responses (did the button as well).
Did not need extra charger / battery. Sat it on charger all night with no change... So tonight when I came in tried one more time to put into download mode and it worked..
Tried connecting it to ODIN and it worked fully so installed Gingerbread stock and away the baby went.
Not sure root cause, but was not drivers.
Won't be installing ICS until it becomes more stable and does not put phones into boot mode without a simple way out.. (never say never though)
Cheers Anyway..
Hi guys
I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to flashing a rom such as ICS or any latest rom that is available for my Galaxy Tab so i really need help with this to avoid problems. First how do i know whether my galaxy tab is GSM or CMDA ? i checked my WIFI settings and it says GSM/WCMDA what does these means ? I can use 3G if you needed to know.
And what tools and applications do i need ? to flash a rom such as ICS or any latest stable rom. i just factory reset my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 already as it's causing problems for me such as freezing everyday and restart by itself.
Currently my Galaxy Tab is on 2.3.3 GingerBread Android. The stock version of it was Froyo i guess that is 2.2 right ? and yeah i updated my tab from Kies few months ago to gingerbread of course. And yes i already rooted my Galaxy Tab few months ago but i just factory reset it today i guess the root is gone now ?
What are the latest and stable ICS/JB version for my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 ? please do guide me to successfully installing them.
hope someone is able to help me with this as i am going to flash it today.
thank you very much
Edit is highlighted by blue font. Mistake highlighted by red font.
I was just about to write a guide for my niece, here goes: -
Please read other guides to be more understanding of flashing. Below is a quick step only. Just in case the good long guides are too long and too complex. Hopefully with a short guide + long guide, it's easier and cover both sides / requirements. Sorry that it was too short for dc2mx, hope he recovers well.
pre-requisite. --->>> magic action.
Hold power button 8 seconds and it will FULLY SHUTDOWN. Don't let it be ON whole night. Battery does not charge during DOWNLOAD mode and not charge in RECOVERY mode. That's why I write in step 16 about this magic 8 seconds fully shutdown.
Hold power button 4 seconds and it boots up.
Hold power button 12 seconds will shutdown then boots. Not adviced. Because it becomes boot-loop.
OK, may some filenames are wrong, but they carry the same meaning. Hence please forgive my short-coming or spelling mistake or naming error.
make sure battery is 100% charged up.
no need root, hence skip rooting step.
download this file >>>GB-Stock-Safe-v5<<< link is provided another time by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981 - thanks thanks thanks to priyana priyana priyana.
make sure to install USB driver first, then plug in TAB to PC, wait few minutes to let it recognize, install and stable_lise <<<stabilize>>>. Takes time. No need to copy anything into it. This is just to ensure that the drivers were installed properly and that it successfully recognized the device so that FLASHING can be carried out.
reboot holding VOL_DOWN to go into DOWNLOAD MODE. You should see the word DOWNLOAD with a big triangle symbol.
direct use Odin software to flash the >>>GB-Stock-Safe-v5<<< OVERCOME RE-STOCK version 5 (the file is TAR format), download link above. See more details somewhere else. Sorry for being lazy uncle.
make sure to select a file named <<<<mr.pit>>>> for the pit section, MUST.
select the <<<<rom file.TAR>>>> format for PDA <<<I wrote WRONG previously into phone section|>>>, MUST. Very terribly sorry to dc2mx and anyone else affected.
select <<<<modem.bin>>>> for phone section else can't call, but not need now, later will have, can skip. Unless you wanna stick to 2.3.3
tick 3 items, A = re-partition, B = auto-reboot, C = F.reset.time. MUST.
click FLASH, wait 2.5 minutes, finished, auto reboot. You should see the USB connect YELLOW highlight successful before able to click FLASH.
then reboot again into Download mode and Odin again to flash the KERNEL only <<<002001-Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar>>> because it contains most importantly CWM (clock work mod), which is a TAB_self_rom_flashing. (newbie term).
Then download a CM9 or CM10 or whatever you want. as for me, as of writing I'm using alroger's 8th November version. Thanks to alroger, humeros, cdesai, and so many more.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869477 Put into TAB's internal sdcard. Fastest flash. My external SD is cheap type, hence slow.
Flash it via reboot holding VOL_UP to go into RECOVERY mode. Select the file/rom that you chosen.
You'll see flash progress go to 10% then reboot.
Then reboot loop non stop. Hold power button for 8 seconds for it to shutdown fully.
Why? because flashing the first 10% puts in a new kernel with new MTD partition and everything behinds it can't recognize it, can't find it hence boot loop.
Enter RECOVERY again, reboot holding VOL_UP. If failed again. Don't worry, keep trying, I had to try 10 times. My first manual reboot went into CWM successfully but I didn't understand and realize, hence did not flash the file again. Then reboot normally, obviously it just boot-loops. Tried to go into CWM the 3rd time but not succesful, it just boot-loops. try so many times, with full shutdown and wait many minutes in between. I think around 10 times or more later went into CWM finally. God bless.
Reboot again into RECOVERY and flash one more time and WIN, DONE.
finished.

Hi thank you for providing with this guide but it doesn't answer any of my questions i am asking but anyway, i am confused with step 4 i have already downloaded GB Stock Safe V5 from the thread you linked. what do you mean by install and Stable_lise ? i have my USB Cable connected to my Galaxy Tab and it shows as Removable storage. What do i need to copy in it ?
If it's possible can you provide much more detailed and clearer instructions ? which are definitely newbie proof.
EDIT: Nevermind i got what you're talking about but i did those 11 steps then now Odin says FAIL on the application about something unable to write partion or something like that. now my Tab is frozen on Do not turn off target screen, Did my Tab just got bricked ? how do i restart it ?

oh, and I suppose that "stable_lise" refers to stabilize?
See my signature for overcome new links.

Hi there. The phone-exclamation-pc thing is another download mode.
At least you still have your bootloader.
Just make sure in the mean time you powered it off and charge it for over 4hrs. You don't want the power to run out.
In the download mode, is Odin detecting the tab? if so, you should still have very good chance to revive it.
Now, question:
- did you use Odin v1.7 included in the GB-stock-safe-v5 package or using other? Remember it is important to use the correct Odin version.
There should be little reason for the flash to fail on repartition if you follow the guide. If you haven't got it, see my signature, and go there to get the PDF guide and jump to page 7.
If you have already followed exactly, then there is a chance you have a damaged internal NAND chip. There are ways to go around that, but lets not go there first.

Yes, i already connected my tab to power charger now. Of course i used Odin v1.7 that is included in GB-stock-safe-v5 package. but during Odin process i waited about 5mins then i went to see how is it going, then there's a FAIL in red above the first box. and my Tab is stuck a Do not turn off target mode.
I only did those instructions cx5 provided. So now i am stuck with Phone /!\ Computer icons screen. What am i going to do next ? And do you mean this guide ? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1 if yes, i haven't read it yet.
This is what i did yesterday i downloaded GB-Stock-Safe-v5, Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar, and CM10 P1000, md5sum: 157da0dc187216fa924da45182e1307e
What are the differences between P1000L and P1000N ? which CM10 files are right for my tab ?
Are these files that i am going to need ? please do refresh this thread every 5 mins or so. since i need help i will be here too. thank you
UPDATE: OK i just connected my Tab to power charger. but when i unplugged it. it turns off. i guess i need to leave it there for 4 hours to charge it ? i can't check whether Odin are able to detect my tab since i unplugged it and it turns off.
UPDATE2 Hmm my tab is blinking, it was on Phone /!\ Computer Icons screen. but now it's blinking, i meant it went to Phone /!\ Computer Icons screen then back to black screen every 10 seconds. is this normal ?
yes, try charge for more than 4hrs and hope the power goes in.
cx5 instruction seems correct, but it is best to look at page 7 of the guide for 100% accurate placement of the files.
the P1000L/N are Latin American tab that has different touch screen driver.

Hmm ok i think i know what went wrong during Odin process. cx5 said select the rom file.TAR for phone section, MUST. but i just read this guide https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1 and it says click PDA and select GB_Stock_Safe_V5,tar and then click Phone.
i didn't click PDA as cx5 instructions didn't mention it. and that's why i am getting FAIL on Odin ?
Anyway, i guess i leave it to charge for 5 hours. then Test whether Odin is able to detect my TAB or not. see you in 5 hours later Priyana. hopefully you're online as i am not sure what to do next after Odin is able to detect my tab.
after charging, boot to download mode again, you may get that same screen like before.
In your PC prepare the Odin exactly like the page 7 of PDF.
Connect the tab to the PC and if you see the tab detected, just flash away, hopefully no error, and it should reboot itself if I am not mistaken, and you get stock GB rom.
Then just continue with the guide, to flash Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar.
After that you will have a CWM recovery, ready to flash CM10

OK so i am currently charging my Tab and it's blinking from Phone /!\ Computer screen to black screen every 10sec above. Does this screen disappear after fully charging it ? it seems that i am stuck at this screen now. but i can't turn it off and go to the previous hold Volume down and hold power button Do not turn off Target download mode.
Or Does Odin is able to detect my Tab on this Phone /!\ Computer screen too ? since you said it's another download mode please do correct me if i am wrong
yes Odin should detect it at this screen too.
If it doesn't, it will be very hard to fix.
I am surprised that you can't turn it off. Doesn't sounds so good, as it may deplete the batt completely.
Did you try to press the power button for a few seconds (5-10 seconds) to force it off completely?

Yeah my Tab was turn on for a whole yesterday. since i can't turn it off as it froze at Do Not Turn Off Target download mode. and today i saw the screen was off. then i went to turn it on but nothing i guess the battery is depleted. so i went to charge it and tried turning it on. it does boots up but now showing me this "Phone yellow /!\ Computer screen.
Okay, i just tested trying to shutting it down by holding Power button for 10seconds. but it seems that i can't turn it off. but the Tab itself is a little hot.
I have another question to ask, now i am stuck in this screen, and i have no idea it's charging or not. is this normal ? or usually it shows it's battery charging notification ?
UPDATE: It seems that my Tab is now turn off? it's not showing me the "Phone yellow /!\ Computer screen" now. it looks like it's turn off. nothing there just black
just leave it like this with the charger for maybe 8hr, since it has completely depleted before.
Battery charging animation I heard resides in the kernel.
So if the tab is flashed incorrectly, the battery animation will not be there.
It should still be charging (hopefully). The only way to be sure is to leave it charging for really long.

Ugh.. i know that it's just 5 hours+ But i was trying to turn on my tab to test whether Odin can detect my tab. but it seems that it won't power on. i guess it's dead ?
Damn i should have waited for your reply first priyana before doing anything. i just didn't do a important step which is "click PDA and select GB_Stock_Safe_V5,tar and then click Phone" instead of "select the rom file.TAR for phone section, MUST" which i thought click phone and select the tar. but it wasn't my fault as someone here posted the instructions that is misleading and missing the important step. Oh well....thanks for nothing,
Anyway, priyana, i really appreciate you are trying to help me. thank you very much buddy
Don't give up. Just continue charging. Many have experienced worst. I don't believe yours is bricked.

I'm a newbie with the rooting and custom rom installation, I've actually never done one before attempting in on my phone a SM-G730A mini S3, I have searched online and was unable to find the factory rom for this device or instructions how to install.
I was able to root my phone using king root, Then I started removing all the factory programs that ill never used. It was great until a few days ago I removed 2 programs that affected my phone operates. It now gets stuck on the at&t screen when powering on, but the funny thing is that if someone calls me, the screen pops up for me to answer.
Issues with my phone: gets stuck on at&t screen, no home screen at all, only way to access apps is through S voice.
I first started looking into the custom rom because I wanted wi-fi calling since the phone signal is low on this phone. I appreciate any help on this. Thanks

I think you should reflash your current firmware version via Odin3. You can get stock ROMs from sammobile.com/firmware. You will lose your root access and you will get these system apps back what you deleted before.
I download it to my SD card and then what? excuse my newbie questions
those stock roms from sammobile youll need to flash via odin / heimdall

Firmwares from SamMobile are only flashable via Odin3 on your PC/Laptop. Move your downloaded firmware to your PC/Laptop and unzip it. Move the ...HOME.tar.md5 file to your desktop.
1. Now download Odin3 and install the drivers for your phone.
2. Open Odin3 as Admin to avoid errors or "Fail" messages while flash. (If you use Windows XP then open Odin like always) and make sure only "Auto reboot" and "F.reset" are checked.
4. Close all Samsung Kies process in task manager to avoid errors. (ignore this if you don't have Kies installed)
5. Tap on PDA/AP and choose the ...HOME.tar.md5 file (wait until Odin finish check the MD5 check sum)
6. Now on your phone. Turn off your device. Then hold volume down + home button + power button till you see a "Warning!!" screen and continue with volume up.
7. Connect your device to your PC/Laptop via USB.
8. Wait until Odin detect your device. (You will see a blue box) If your PC/Laptop install the drivers again then wait a moment.
9. If everything is OK then you can start flashing. (A flash process take up to 10 Min, so be patient)
10. Now your phone should reboot and you're done.
Don't forget you will lose ROOT access and you will get your system apps back what you deleted before.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You probably uninstalled touchwiz. You can try installing a theme from the app store that might work.
Newbie Help
I am getting ready to do a first attempt at rooting on a Samsung S3 mini, G730A. I don't know how to get the Samsung USB driver onto the desktop because I'm not sure where it's actually located. I downloaded the Samsung Driver Zip and it's loaded on my C: drive but didn't find anything is there that seemed specific to that phone. I did locate what appears to be the generic Android device USB driver for this phone through Device Manager and put that on the desktop but not sure that is the one that I'll need when I go root. Any suggestions?
Thanks
