My prior two phones being HTC (Incredible and Thunderbolt) I'm decidedly lacking in dealing with Samsung devices. My wife, who has a Charge, was complaining about her GPS never locking, so after a bit of research, I discovered there was a fix, but only for rooted phones.
Being the dutiful husband that I am, I rooted her phone and installed the voodoo lagifx using Odin, then implemented the GPS fix, and all was right with the world.
Unfortunately, I couldn't leave well enough alone, and installed CWM Recovery intending to do a nandroid backup. During the backup process, something happened, and I bricked her phone.
Lovely.
Since then,in trying to fix her phone, I've run the gamut of "brick" with this phone.
I started with the Samsung screen hang, then moved on to the Droid Animated boot loop, and ended up with the phone exclamation point PC graphic.
I've finally managed to install a ROM and get the phone to fully boot.
GummyCHARGE ROM with lagfix disabled (don't ask) and root has been preserved.
I happen to like the ROM, but my wife vastly prefers touchWIZ. Rather than blunder through to an eventual solution, I thought I'd ask the experts on for help. I would like the phone to have a TouchWIZ Froyo or GB build, with root, that has the lagfix. The more stable the better.
So, my question is, where do I go from here? Any feedback appreciated, and thanks in advance.
