So basically i decided to root my new phone, i am very new to rooting or anything android and decided to follow a guide step by step, i finshed the rooting process sucessfully and everything seemed to work, then i installed a bunch of rooting things such as : Orbot,Titanium Backup,Freedom?, and couple others but i forget their names, a couple hours later i tried to go on the Play Store and it said "no connection" so i googled it and ended up downloading a bunch of editing things like Es file explorer and some others, most things i came across said i had to edit a "hosts" file, but when i got there it was read only, so again more googling and and apparently i have to edit another file, something with a C? i forget now, all i remember is that i couldnt find that file so i made a (probably stupid) choice of editing the closest file by name which was "Chmod", i scrolled all the way down and added a new line like thay said, when that did nothing, i gave up and restarted my phone for pretty much no reason, once i got back in it shows sortof an "xed" out thing where the data bars should be and it refuses to connect to wifi. I did start unrooting by SU in its settings but for reason i cancelled i cant remember if it was before or after,(its really late at night here).

Im so scared that ill have to replace my phone and i know i made mistakes but just please help!!pleaseee :( I dont know what to do :(((

I forgot what the new line said so i just went back to check and its gone ?
Also when i go in my data in settings it says 32 gbs USED !!!!WTFFFFF , i have a 6 gb plan :(
and apparently "removed apps" took up 11 gbs wtfff

Calm Down.. You can check your data usage in data usage . And regarding rooting i dont think it can harm your phone unless you know what you are doing. Try flashing stock ROM again follow this guide

You give to little information.

What is your phone model? What guide did you use?

You clearly messed something up, so just do a full wipe and reflash the stock firmware.
