Root DAVE

[oc dave]

MY PHONE, A GALAXY RUSH, WAS ROOTED BUT HAD POOR BATTERY LIFE . WITH A COUPLE APPS IT GREATLY IMPROVED.THAT WAS'NT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND I HAD OPTIONS FOR FREEZING APPS. I THINK I CREWED UP AND FROZE SOME SYSTEM FILES SINCE ALL I GET NOW IS A BLANK SCREEN. THE GUY WHO ROOTED MY PHONE WENT TO JAIL AND HAD MY BACKUP STUFF. I MESSED AROUND WITH THE RECOVERY MODE AND WIPED CACHE AND DATA AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE. I HAVE DOWNLOADED PLENTY OF THINGS TO SET ME STRAIGHT(I BELIEVE). PROBLEM IS...1. MY PHONE ISNT READING MY EXT. SD CARD 2. MY COMPUTER ISN'T READING MY PHONE TO ACCESS THE INTERNAL SD. i HAVE EVERYTHING ON MY EXT. SD CARD BUT CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT TO MY RECOVERY PROCESS.
A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. A LOT OF HELP WILL IN DEBT ME TO YOU FOR LIFE. A FIX FOR MY PROBLEMS WOULD LEAVE ME GREATLY HONORED TO PASS ALL HELP POSSIBLE TO THE NEXT AND ALL FUTURE UNFORTUNATE SOULS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THANK YOU

Hi and welcome to the forums

This should be very easy to fix.

Can you connect your sdcard to your computer?

Here's what you need to do:
1) Download this file
StockRom.zip <----LINK

2) Copy the StockRom.zip to your sdcard

3) Place sdcard in phone

4) Boot into recovery

5) Select 'install zip from sdcard'

6) Select 'choose zip from external sdcard'

7) Select the stockrom.zip

8) Select yes

9) Do a factory reset

NOTE: this is not rooted. If you want root you will also need to download and flash (install) this file after the first one

Looks like a good list of steps LV.:thumb:

PS. I slid this over to the All Things Root sub forum.
