Help Samsung Admire... bricked?

I've had the phone for about a month and a half. As soon as I got it I rooted the phone and I installed the app, Launcher Pro. I uninstalled Launcher Pro last night, and now the phone doesn't seem to have the original Gingerbread launcher screen.

Needed: Stock Admire (2.3.X) ROM with a Tutorial on how to reflash; or an update.zip that can be used.

Thanks!

Can you get into the settings still? If so, just do a factory reset under Privacy in the setting. That should do the trick. Just dont do it from the recovery because with out a rom to flash you will be screwed like me. Luckly I managed to save the app folder with the system apps and I have a link some were I posted, all you do is just replace the launcher.apk and odecx if it got accidently deleted then place them in your app directory through root explorer 1 by 1 and install the apk from there and should be good to go. Hope this helps:D
 
I also need a backup of the stock Admire ROM, please, If anyone has the admire, can you please create a backup of the stock ROM and send me to the link to it? I ran into a few modding mishaps, and A ROM in the update.zip format would be greatly appreciated.

What happens if you go to installed applications and clear cache for launcher (so that the default launcher setting is cleared out on home?)

Also what happens after a wipe?

Um... about the mate...

Have you tried flashing the cwm recovery and putting the mate35 rom on?
That would fix it.

If you are unable to fix it maybe you can mail it to me and I can. I have a flashable cwm package for it on a friends computer.
Before you ask, I tried uploading it but metropcs+ tethering blows.

Its a long shot but....

Turn your phone on and get to a PC with internet.

Go to market.Android.Com and pick a launcher.
send it to install on your phone.
It should show a status for the download in your status bar.
Click it either before it downloads completely or after install.
When its done click "open"
You should be good.
