Yes, I have tried several times to get to stock Froyo but get the same result every time. It did stop the boot loop if that's a good sign. Unfortunately I don't have CWM on it right now, would there be a way to get it on there and be able to use it? Kind of sucks if there is nothing else I can do. It was supposed to last till the galaxy s4 came out. Didn't want to grab an s3 with the s4 being so close.
And I live in Calgary. Thanks for the replies guys.
One thing I have faith on when it comes to phones is that you have to pretty much smash yours against a rock in order to truly say it is dead (unless yours is a Nokia). Can you explain exactly how you are trying to root? What steps are you taking?
IMO, in the long run, getting an s4 won't make much difference than getting an s3
