Help Issues with SAMSUNG Galaxy 3 , not able to pick any incoming sound properly !

[kool_kid1]

My Samsung galaxy 3 has given up,
I saw an firmware update and started upgrading ( using KIES) . In middle of upgrade an error accoutred. KIES asked me to note down the error code and run the repair program from another PC Since i did not had another PC i rebooted the same PC again and this time was able to successfully upgrade the build number : FROYODDJP6.Next day onwards phone was not able to pick any incoming sound properly. even while doing audio recording i was able to hear a lot of disturbances . So I am unable to use the phone as the other party cannot hear my voice clearly Since i had not rooted the device and phone is still under warranty , i went to SAMSUNG centre. I was told that phone had some liquid and they will not honour any warranty. They asked me to foot a bill of 4100 Rs which I declined.
Please advise on what to do now.

xda is a good starting point, here is a link to some stock froyo roms

i use megaupload, let the timer run down for normal download ( a fast internet connection is handy here!) and unzip programme.

flash a standard rom, watch and follow these instructions, dont try to miss or speed up any steps

the flash procedure is pretty much the same for any rom via the odin/.tar method

check your phone is in good working order for a week or so, then you can just use it as is, or flash a custom rom....

good luck, its daunting at first, but worth it!
