I'll start with the preliminary "If this is the wrong place please let me know and I will relocate" prefix.
The issue is pretty easy to explain, After rooting my phone and removing what I thought was bloatware the wifi and data no longer wants to work/services aren't turning on (began after restart not immediately following the root or software removal)
I should have made a backup prior to rooting but I was feeling lazy and it's an older unit, worse case scenario I'll replace it so that wasn't a huge issue at the time (hindsight is 20:20 and I'd rather not replace it right now)
I have a samsung sch-i200 running 04.01.02. I decided for various reasons that I should root the phone as I have with a few others in the past. So I did my research, found a comfortable software, and rooted the phone. Everything worked fine at first root went though perfectly and all the features I was looking for ended spot on. Then I went through and removed some of the bloatware from the phone and things started to get tricky. I am guessing that I misjudged like an idiot the purpose of one of these applications and messed up something I shouldn't have.
The applications I removed were named:
backup+ media
my verizon mobile
sync service
verizon guide tours
verizon login
verizon remote diag
voicemail
verizon tones
vz navigator
I don't use Verizon as a carrier so I was assuming (again, like an idiot I believe) that one of those services was either not part of the bloatware they added, or I misjudged the necessity of said bloatware. The other possibility is that the root I went through DID fail to complete properly, although I am not really convinced yet of that as the phone had been restarted several times after the root with no issues. Currently the phone is still able to call and text fine but I haven't been able to get the wifi to turn on or data to activate.
To keep this from getting too long winded I won't go much further in detail, I'm somewhat tech savvy but not an expert by any means and have exhausted my knowledge on searching via google and other forum sources I could find. At this point I would love to just get a copy of the stock ROM for the phone so I could just revert it back to factory but that seems to be something of a unicorn on the internet at this time.
I should state that I have attempted the basic troubleshooting, power cycle, airplane mode toggle, safe mode, settings reset via the boot menu options (full wipe and restore), I've also made some attempt to try and find a way to reinstall the bloatware I removed but can't seem to find it.
I generally hate posting on forums about these things because you can normally find an answer if you search but i'm on about 6 hours of forum crawling and am either blind or unable to find it, so I plea now for assistance.
Any help will be appreciated.
