Android Galaxy Gio won't boot after rooting

[Codename]

To remove root I believe you need to remove superuser.apk and the su binary, but since I never tried I can't be too sure. The safe route would be to flash a stock/custom rom.

Edit: Also backup data via recovery if the option is available before flash.

First of all, root - route. Haha. Secondly, How do I backup data via recovery mode? And thirdly, after I backup, can I just factory reset my phone?

Well from reading link connor posted, if your recovery is cwm select backup & restore then backup. After that you factory reset and then go back to backup & restore and select Advanced restore > Date of backup > Restore data. Of course if you're not using cwm recovery I might need a screenshot to know your recovery options :/

Thats what I asked for, if you can get Odin working flash a custom kernel or just use aroma fm to remove the apk from /data

I'm sorry, but I tried the aroma fm file, and it failed to install it. It said "Operation Aborted" or something like that.....I'm having trouble getting a pic of the recovery menu...I think I should just factory reset.

If you haven't reset yet, you could install cwm through your default recovery and follow what I posted before. Here's the link to the galaxy gio cwm thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650.

If that didn't work then i'm not sure what else to do, root isn't scary it's handy, next time flash cwm, backup, flash custom kernel, and use setcpu.

I used ABD (platform_tools stuff) and via command prompt I looked at the list of all my internal storage apps. I was unable to find 'cputuner.apk' however I tried to delete 'Superuser.apk'. it said something like permission denied.

what commands do I exactly do? i'm kinda confused with it all..how do I navigate to my data folder so I can see the apps in it? help asap please..

Also, when I 'ls' (list) all the apps, it only shows the ones that aren't downloaded from the Market (Google Play). How do I check the Market apps? And last but not least, when I was testing the 'rm -r' (remove apps), it said permission denied (I tried on Zoompass, Self-Serve, Superuser).

Could be as they are system apps. In ABD try

SU
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /data
rm -r /data/app/ch.amana.android.cputuner-1.apk
mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /data

Enter these one by one and if mount -0 remount doesn't work just try using

SU
rm -r /data/app/ch.amana.android.cputuner-1.apk

rm -r /data/app/ch.amana.android.cputuner-1.apk

Neither of them work!! It keeps on saying 'Permission Denied'

maybe I should just Factory Reset my phone? Backing up via ADB has the same outcome: "Permission Denied". I really don't want to flash my phone.

 

[Zerosuit connor]

Well then just recover, next time flash a custom kernel and create a backup through cwm. I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help, all these commands work on my Xperia Play. Unfotunatly I don't own a samsung device.

Thank you for everything, are you sure there's nothing more I could do?

I tried factory reseting my phone via recovery mode, yet it still doesn't boot! Help.
