Root Need to reinstall stock OS

ok so I probably did something wrong along the way as I was trying to put Cyanogen mod on my mini. It installed correctly but when I rebooted the phone it said android on the right of the screen ( I imagine this was the startup screen ) but it must have frozen on that. Every time I restart the phone it does the same. I can however open the recovery screen (home+power button) I tried installing two different roms but bot times it said Installation aborted. Can I maybe get a link for the stock rom? I might be able to install that...... any help? :(
 
Hi Matt, and welcome to AF,

At the risk of asking a stupid question, did you wipe the phone (factory reset) before installing CM? If not that would explain the failure to boot, in which case you could try wiping and installing CM again (since that one seemed to install, unlike the others you tried).

Otherwise I'm afraid I don't know the Mini, so can't give you the answer you need. Hopefully someone who can will be along soon.
