Hi,
So I'll try and give the story the best I can:
Decided to root phone and install 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.
Used the wrong instructions (the ones for Verizon S3) and flashed the wrong rom.
Phone went soft brick and I was freaking out completely.
After 3 hours of trying to get it to boot and flashing all different kinds of roms I got it to work again.
Now I've some stock img installed (not sure what exactly, I'll check when I get home and update) together with ClockWork Recovery touch.
The bottom line:
At first it kept restarting every time the screen turned off (whether automatically after 30sec or manually).
That stopped without me changing anything to setting as far as I can tell.
The phone is not as smooth as it used to be, it tends to be a bit f*cked up when booting (at the samsung logo).
WORST: It takes about 2 seconds for the lock screen to pop up EVERY time I turn the screen on. I made a video to be 100% clear: Slow unlock screen Samsung Galaxy S3 - YouTube.
I would 1. like to get it back to stock as much as possible, factory settings kind of thing 2. possibly try installing jelly bean
What is the best course of action to take?
Sorry for all these questions and possibly a repost... I'm pretty freaked out and afraid I just threw away 500€
